Rose - classic symbol beauty and romance, and many both beginners and experienced gardeners do not miss the opportunity to decorate their gardens with rose bushes. If you'd like to grow roses but don't have enough space in your garden, you'll probably be happy to know that most varieties of roses grow well in pots. To decorate your home or garden with these beautiful flowers, you will need a pot or other container of the appropriate size, balanced potting soil, and ample water and sunlight.

Steps

Part 1

Choose a container that is large enough. It should accommodate all the roses you plan to plant, with some room left over. For miniature roses, which reach a height of only 15–45 centimeters, a pot with a depth of 15–20 centimeters is sufficient, while larger varieties require a pot of at least 45 centimeters so that their roots are not crowded.

Choose a lightweight container if you plan to move it around. Pots made from plastic, fiberglass or recycled composite materials are easy to lift and carry from place to place. This is the main advantage if you are going to take the roses outside and bring them indoors again.

• Grow bags are also easy to transport from place to place and can be buried directly in the ground if you decide to plant roses in your garden.

1. If you have chosen clay pots, use plastic bags. Materials such as terracotta, ceramics and concrete heat up quickly in the sun. If you place a plastic bag at the bottom of such a container, the soil will remain cool and preserve necessary for plants moisture. When it's hot, roses require more frequent watering, which can be difficult for both you and the plants.

   Make sure the container has sufficient drainage. Choose pots with holes in the bottom. Through these holes will flow excess water, which will prevent its accumulation in the soil.

   Part 2

   Soil preparation

   1. Place a 2-3 centimeter thick layer of gravel at the bottom of the pot. It's best to use a pea-sized amount of gravel as it forms a fairly compact layer and doesn't leave much space, although you can pick up some small stones in your garden. A bottom layer of gravel or rocks will improve drainage and prevent the soil from becoming too compacted at the bottom of the pot.

      • To improve drainage and loosen the soil at the bottom of the pot, you can also use coarse sand or clay particles.
      • You can do without the bottom layer of gravel if you are using a pot with large enough drainage holes and intend to grow your roses outside.

   2. Fill the pot ⅔ full with a well-balanced potting mix for houseplants. For growing a small number of roses, almost any standard houseplant mixture that is sufficiently rich in nitrogen and phosphorus will do. Do not fill the pot to the very top - if the soil is too dense, the roses will have difficulty breathing.

      Enrich the soil with some organic material. Add a handful of garden compost, animal manure or peat moss and mix the soil thoroughly with a hand trowel to create an even mixture. Organic amendments will enrich the soil with nutrients and help retain moisture.

      • If you are growing large roses that require extra nutrition, some experts recommend adding a handful of bone meal or humus to the soil.
      • You can also add a slow-release fertilizer specifically formulated for roses to the soil. Follow the recommendations on the fertilizer package.

   Part 3

   Planting roses

   1. Make a small hole in the soil to accommodate the rose's roots. Use the tip of the scoop to make a small depression in the ground. Please note that miniature roses should be planted at least 15 centimeters deep, while larger roses and bushes should be planted at a depth of 45 centimeters to ensure they stay firmly in the ground.

      • It is better not to throw away the dug soil, but to place it around the edges of the pot. You will need it a little later in order to fill the hole.

   2. Place the rose in the hole you made. Remove the young rose from the pot in which you received it from the plant nursery and replant it in your own pot. By hand, carefully separate the roots so that they are evenly distributed in the soil. After this, pour the previously removed soil around the plant and lightly press it down.

      Use for more large roses a support they can lean on. If you are growing a fairly large variety of roses, stick a stake in the ground next to the plant and tie the lower branches to it with an elastic band or piece of twine. The peg will serve as a support for the rose during further growth.

      • Stick the stake as deep into the ground as possible so that it is stable. It is best to lower it to the very bottom of the pot.
      • If you are growing a whole rose bush in a barrel, tub or plant bag, it is best to install several stakes 25-30 centimeters apart.
      • If you try to grow large varieties roses without additional support, the plants will eventually droop and droop over the sides of the pot.

   Part 4

   Plant care

   1. Water your roses regularly to keep the soil moist. Moisten the soil thoroughly from the top of the pot to the bottom, but be careful not to let it become too wet. Roses require quite a lot of water, up to 5 liters per day. Don't let the soil dry out.

      Place roses where they can be directly sunlight at least 6 hours a day. Roses prefer warmth and light, so if you are growing them indoors, it is best to place the pot near a south or west window. Ideally, roses should be exposed to light for 7 or more hours a day, although 4-5 hours may be enough for miniature roses.

      Fertilize mature roses every 4-6 weeks. Use a well-balanced liquid or slow-release fertilizer specifically formulated for roses, such as 10:10:10 or 12:12:12. Such fertilizers provide rose bushes majority nutrients which they need to grow. To avoid harming the plants, fertilize them shortly after watering and use approximately half the dose of fertilizer recommended on the package. Excessive fertilizer can burn the delicate roots of roses, especially if the soil is dry.

      Place pots of roses at a distance of 50 centimeters from each other. It is necessary to leave some distance between the pots - in this case, the roses will be better ventilated and will be able to receive more beneficial gases from the surrounding air. This will also prevent the fungus from spreading from infected leaves to nearby healthy plants.

      • In addition to the benefits for plant health, a certain distance between pots will allow you to decorate a much larger area with roses.

   2. Cut off dead and dried buds and thereby make room for new inflorescences. Periodically inspect your roses and check for dead or wilted buds. Cut off these buds at the base with sharp garden shears. This way you will speed up the formation of new flowers in place of already dead buds.

Every year, homemade roses are becoming more and more popular. How nice it is to have an almost perfect flower at home, a wonderful addition to your collection of house plants! However, not everyone can grow a flower queen at home - after all, this requires special conditions.

First of all, every amateur gardener should realize that caring for roses at home is significantly different from caring for garden species and practically does not overlap with other house plants. Therefore, you should apply your knowledge focused on these flowers carefully - only in a few cases can they completely coincide.

Preferences for home roses

It just so happens that indoor roses are quite finicky plants, and therefore they require not only increased attention, but also compliance with special conditions of detention.

Indoor culture fit:

• location on southern or southeastern balconies and windows;
• fresh nutritious soil;
• sufficient quantity fresh air in the warm season;
• abundant watering during the growing season (it can be adjusted by the external temperature and as the top layer of soil dries);
• systematic feeding (about once a week), especially during the period of active growth and flowering;
• replanting (but only as needed) into a larger pot or container.

Not suitable for domestic roses:

• dry air and overheating in the sun;
• watering cold water;
• ignoring faded shoots, stems, shoots and leaves;
• injury to the root system;
• wintering at elevated temperatures environment;
• Ignoring diseases and minor pests.

Adaptation to indoor conditions

As soon as you bought a flower and brought it home, you should not immediately resort to replanting it or to actions that could disturb its peace. Experts generally advise paying close attention to the conditions in which the plant was in the store and repeating them as much as possible at home. Here you will need to maintain a similar air temperature, humidity, watering and spraying regime, place the flower in the shade or in a bright place (depending on where the flower was in the store), and so on. Similar maintenance conditions will give the home rose the opportunity to quickly adapt and not die immediately after purchase. But this is only for the first time - then you need to create exactly the right conditions content. While the flower adapts to the new room and microclimate, avoid drafts and sunburn, water it only with clean, settled water, and sometimes rinse the leaves by spraying.

How to replant an ornamental rose

Transplant the queen of flowers to permanent place It’s worth it only when she fully comes to her senses. By lunar calendar This is best done when the moon is in its waxing phase. Transplantation must be done very carefully so that not a single main root shoot is damaged. It is advisable not to disturb the earthen ball in which the roots are located.

The earthen lump is only slightly loosened along the outer layer; it is also not removed a large number of old land. If there are a few fertilizer granules on the coma, then there is no need to remove them.

Next, you should prepare nutritious soil for transplanting the rose into a new container. This can be the following mixture: turf soil, humus soil and sand (4:4:1). A small amount is mixed into the soil complex fertilizer. If you have the opportunity to cook correct soil for planting you do not have, then you can always buy universal primer for indoor plants or specifically for roses.

Bush rose pot

Further correct cultivation of home roses requires the purchase the right pot, which suits all parameters. How to choose it?

So, new pot it should be bigger size than the container, several centimeters in diameter and about 5–7 cm in height. But remember: it shouldn’t be too big either.

Preparing a flower pot

If something has been grown in a pot before, it should be thoroughly washed under warm water using a stiff brush, but without detergents. If the pot is completely new and ceramic, it should be soaked for several hours in warm water.

Before planting, you must properly “equip the new home” of your indoor rose:

• make drainage from expanded clay,
• make sure there is a drain hole,
• pour the prepared soil with fertilizers into the pot and sprinkle it with a layer of clean soil.

Now place it in a new pot, gradually sprinkle the prepared soil around the edges and compact it as it shrinks. After transshipment, the rose should be placed in the shade, or even on a north window.

After a day has passed since transplantation, the flower is placed on a well-lit balcony or window sill, moved away from drafts and direct exposure to hot sunlight, and provided with constant access to fresh air.

Growing and care

Watering

If the rose dries out, this is the first sign of lack of moisture, so try to ensure timely watering as the top layer of soil in the pot dries. Sometimes, in very hot weather summer days, the rose has to be watered even twice a day, but remember that watering is carried out only with clean, well-settled water at room temperature, at the root and in a more or less cool time of day.

Fertilizing at home

Usually caring for Chinese indoor roses involves, among other things, adding fertilizers to the soil . This should happen approximately twice a month and during the active growing season of the plant. Watering is carried out with mullein or a solution of complete mineral fertilizer. Also held foliar feeding– spraying with special weak solutions.

How to care for a home rose in summer

In summer, the flower loves good watering, timely application of fertilizers, spraying, washing the leaves and removing dead leaves from the shoots. It is necessary to carefully monitor the condition of the plant - it should not overheat or show signs of disease (with proper care and prevention). If in summer time You noticed that the rose in the pot does not feel very comfortable, since it has managed to grow during the warm season, you need to wait for the moon to grow and replant it in a freer pot.

Lush bushes

Many home plant breeders have the following question: how to grow an indoor rose lush bush? One answer could be summer care: It is necessary to constantly rotate the plant so that it receives light from all sides of the bush. In this case, it will not be one-sided.

How to grow roses at home in the fall

When summer warmth gives way to autumn coolness and the temperature drops below +15 ° C, transferring from the balcony to the room. During this period, it is advisable to place it on the south window.

When growth activity and bud formation decrease, it is necessary to stop feeding and reduce watering to once every 2–3 days. This is how the rose prepares for winter.

Preparing for winter

This is one of the most important stages, during which many conditions must be met:

• compliance with the temperature regime from +15 to +17 °C;
• installing a home rose in a place where the air is not too dry;
• protecting plants from electrical household appliances– TV, PC, microwave oven and so on;
• It is advisable to transfer the plant to a cold window or protect the plant from exposure to hot air from the apartment (between frames or behind a special layer of plastic film).

Caring for a home rose in winter

The indoor rose does not grow or bloom in winter; it looks very sickly, constantly shedding its leaves. During this period, it is advisable to prevent the air in the plant space from drying out - place the pot on a tray with wet pebbles, water the rose once every 2-3 days.

Caring for flower crops in winter also involves spraying the plant, especially in a room where there is additional heating and the air constantly dries out.

Home rose in spring

In early spring, decorative roses begin to come to life. They throw out new leaves and shoots, which soon turn into full-fledged branches. At this point, the plant requires more frequent watering so that the soil in the pot does not have time to dry out.

Now the flowers can be fed again - this will provide the ground for proper and rapid development. You can fertilize the soil in a pot with a mullein solution: 1/3 mullein to 2/3 water is thoroughly mixed and left for 4–10 days until the end of the fermentation period, then used in a solution with tap water (1:15). You can fertilize the soil near the plant with a solution of bird droppings: infuse in 200 parts hot water 1 part of the litter, leave for two days, dilute the solution with clean water(1:25) and use for plant nutrition.

What to feed

Growing roses at home involves systematic feeding, so take them very seriously. But remember that if the flower turns yellow, withers or even dries out, this may be due to the fact that the wrong fertilizer was used or its dosage was exceeded.

If everything is followed according to the rules, then for good flowering The plant is fed once a week. This should be done after watering the plant.

In the spring, when home decorative rose comes to life again, she should not lack sunlight or moisture. Therefore, the plant is transferred to a bright window and constantly watered, as in summer, as the top layer of soil dries. Next, the leaves are sprayed and washed.

Now that the spring frosts have gone and the warmth is intensively returning, the domestic or Chinese bush rose can again be placed on the balcony, but first in the shade, since it needs to get used to the bright sun. This will take 2–3 weeks.

How to prune indoor roses

House roses in pots can be pruned before wintering. In this case, the process is carried out with a very sharp knife or pruning shears, and no more than five living buds are left on each branch. It is recommended to prune during the waxing phase of the moon. If it is not carried out before winter, the next year may result in poorer flowering and a sluggish appearance of the entire plant as a whole. To prevent this from happening, pruning can be done in early spring.

Flower propagation

It’s quite simple at home, especially if you follow our recommendations. You can also use cut branches for propagation.

Cuttings are cut from the available material using pruning shears. Their size should be about 15 cm, and there should be at least 3-4 live buds and several leaves on the body of the cutting.

Now the cuttings can be placed in a clean tap water room temperature. Sometimes two weeks are enough for the first strong roots to appear. When they are well developed, they are planted in small pots (about 200-300 ml) in fertile prepared soil, always during the growth phase of the moon. If this process was carried out before wintering, then rapid growth and flowering are possible the very next year. This is exactly how roses are grown at home.

Plant diseases

As sad as it is to say this, Chinese roses at home can be spoiled by diseases and pests. Therefore, be sure to treat it with preventative agents, observe temperature and soil and air humidity conditions, and immediately begin treating the plant if you notice signs of disease on it.

Nina 10/14/2015

I always really wanted to grow homemade roses, but everyone dissuaded me, citing the fact that this flower is quite capricious and requires very careful care. But I still decided and bought a pot. Now I already have four beauties and in 3 years they have never even gotten sick.

Alina 02/15/2016

I'm asking for advice on wintering. I don’t have a covered balcony, but I’ve read a lot that roses like a warm winter, they need 5-12 degrees. Is it possible to put it under the bathroom (I think the coldest place in the apartment)? Will she suffer without light?

Elena 04/14/2016

Please tell me, I want to plant a border of roses of the same variety along the path. The color doesn't really matter, the main thing is that the bushes have good form, the variety would not be susceptible to diseases and frost-resistant. Last year I had to throw away 3 roses, because the winter was very frosty, there was nothing to cover them and they froze, I bought 2 more, but this year there are severe frosts again and I don’t even know what will happen.

Olenka 06/12/2016

I love roses in pots and they gave me a lot at one time. But they don’t grow for me! Either they rot, or the aphids eat them. In the house wet air maybe because of this? I try to care for and fertilize, but the flower dies. I have never been so carried away with any flower as with a rose. Probably just not my plant.

Irina 06/19/2016

I bought roses in unenviable condition (cheap). I immediately cut off all the buds and replanted them, washing them with phytosporin and spraying them against pests. At first I sprayed her with hormones and diluted ammonia. All the plants survived. Thanks for the article! I learned a lot of useful things.

Alevtina 05/20/2017

Hello1 Very instructive article, a lot of interesting, useful Articles are just super I really like them, My dear friends, please tell me what to do in this situation: I buy in flower shop, homemade tea roses several times already and two weeks after purchase they disappear, From my friends, those people with whom I spoke about homemade roses, 7 people from my circle say that they also bought roses in a flower shop and from no one the roses didn’t grow in them, they didn’t take root, they dried out... Please tell me what is the reason, roses bought from the store disappear... Your articles are very instructive, I will definitely use them in the future, When I try to grow roses, but I will buy them second-hand, at the market, from friends, Thank you very much again for the articles, they are just super. Goodbye..

Alevtina 05/20/2017

Hello Alena, I have approximately the same situation. And my 7 friends, no matter how hard they tried, looked after them, and everything they bought in the store did not take root. In stores they spray with various substances - they embalm... And after bringing it home, the owners do not spray it and gradually the flowers begin to die... It’s probably best to buy from grandmothers, from their hands, those that grow in private houses.. They probably won’t be sprayed there.. What if you bought all your roses in the store, then the answer is probably already clear to you. I also want homemade roses... But I’ve already lost one rose (namely, a store rose)

Mari28 05/22/2017

Sophia, you should have read the article more carefully. All your questions are answered there. Find out from your friends what the growing regime for your rose was before they gave it to you. Create the maximum of this instruction. At first, you will notice that the flower has become sluggish and looks painful. This is the time of adaptation. During this period, do not touch it. The transplant is carried out only when the rose comes to its senses, during the growth phase of the moon. Pruning is done just before winter, leaving 5 buds on the branch. It is impossible to force the plant not to shed its leaves, since roses tend to lose leaves in winter. So it goes into peace.

Elena, there is no ideal variety, not only of roses, but also of other plants. All types and varieties have their pros and cons. Your bushes died, as you yourself admitted, because they were not covered in winter period. It is necessary to cover for the winter, how tightly depends on the region of your residence. Try planting Floribunda varieties: Arthur Bell, Deja Vu, Jack Frost, Luminion, Sunsprite, Evelyn Fison, etc. They are remarkable in that, having received frostbite on the ground part of the bush, they still come to life in the spring. All of the listed varieties are successfully grown in the northern part of Russia, so you should not have problems with winter care.

Valentina 03/09/2019

And I don’t bother with indoor roses, although I accept gifts in the form of roses in pots with gratitude. And in the spring, as soon as the air temperature allows, I plant them in the front garden. They bloom gorgeously all summer, delighting with amazing beauty. Grow long time, some for more than 10 years. I cover it for the winter, as it should be in our Moscow region.

How to grow potted roses at home?

Potted roses– a wonderful gift for your beloved woman, which is suitable for any holiday. How can we make sure that these beauties do not wither the very next day, but delight their mistress for a long, long time?

An indoor rose differs from an ordinary rose in its miniature size. Its bushes reach a height of no more than 35-45 cm.

Note to the florist

An indoor rose differs from an ordinary rose in its miniature size. Its bushes reach a height of no more than 35-45 cm. Potted rose flowers are very beautiful, small, of various colors, and can be fragrant or odorless. Dutch or Danish roses in pots are often sold in Russia. As a rule, potted roses are sold already in bloom. A healthy plant has lush green leaves without painful-looking spots or damage. The leaves must be elastic, stay well on the stem and not fall off! Under no circumstances should there be black areas on the stems! When purchasing, you need to take a good look at the flower: a large number of buds is acceptable, but they should not be open! Be sure to remove the gift wrapping and look closely at the leaves and stems.

Most roses are stored in refrigerators when sold. Once in a warm apartment, the plant experiences stress; for acclimatization, they should be maintained indoors at a temperature within 15-18°C.

The most optimal time The best time to buy roses is the cold season, from autumn to spring. It's best to buy this indoor plant in February and March. Potted roses prefer:

• sunny side of the house; it is necessary to choose southern or south-eastern windows;
• enriched soil;
• free access to fresh air during hot periods;
• good watering;
• fertilizing at least once a week during active growth and flowering;
• transplanting into a spacious pot from a cramped one.

They don't like flowers:

• excessive heat;
• wilted flowers on a plant;
• cold water for irrigation;
• pests and diseases;
• damage to the root system during transplantation.

Caring for a rose is not as troublesome as it seems at first glance. You just need to follow some rules. It would be good to arrange a rose immediately after purchase warm shower. This procedure will help clean the leaves from road dust, and also partially eliminate their presence. spider mite, if there is one. Just in case, at first it is better to place the “new home” on a separate windowsill. This will help protect other plants from infection by pests that might have taken a fancy to the potted rose in the store. It should be borne in mind that when selling, most roses are stored in refrigerators. Once in a warm apartment, the plant experiences enormous stress. In order for acclimatization to be gentle and gradual, at first the room temperature should be maintained within 15-18°C.

Water the flowers with ordinary tap water at room temperature, which has been pre-settled for at least a day. Watering is carried out as the soil dries: not too often, but not rarely. Make sure that the water in the pot does not stagnate. Because of this root system begins to rot, which often causes the death of the plant. It would be good to spray the underside of the leaves with cold boiled water from a spray bottle from time to time. Good period for transplantation - when the moon is in its growth phase. But don't delay it! Most often, store pots are filled with peat substrate, which over time can destroy the roots. Ideal for transplantation special land for roses and chrysanthemums. Its composition is most favorable for the growth of plants that are accustomed to neutral acidity soil.

Transplantation should be carried out very carefully so as not to injure the root system!

It is better to choose a larger pot for roses. Experienced gardeners It is advised not to take containers smaller than 40 cm in diameter. A layer of drainage about 1-3 cm thick is usually poured onto the bottom of the pot, and soil is poured on top. After transplantation, the plant is not watered, placed in a dark and cool place for a day, and then placed on a well-lit windowsill. Roses are fed throughout the entire growth period (especially in spring and summer) in small doses, but quite often. It is best to choose special fertilizers that contain essential microelements. Fertilizer can also be applied by a foliar method, in which the leaves of the plant are sprayed with a weak fertilizer solution.

In winter, caring for roses consists of maintaining the necessary lighting for them. To do this, you need to create additional lighting for them using LED and fluorescent lamps. If this is not possible, then it is better to put the plant into hibernation. To do this, reduce temperature regime up to +10…+15°С. At the same time, the plant’s metabolic processes slow down, but it does not die and tolerates winter well. During sleep, fertilizer is not applied, the frequency of watering is reduced, but low soil moisture is maintained. If your “green friend” begins to slowly dry out, don’t immediately become disheartened! This often happens in the first 2-3 weeks after acquisition, and this can already be considered a pattern. However, ensure special care the flower will still have to. As a rule, the wilting process begins at the ends of the branches. They need to be cut back to a healthy stem, without sparing the plant. After pruning, the rose sends out young shoots from the thorns, and soon new ones form in place of the old branches. By the way, professionals advise periodically trimming the plant several times a year. This procedure promotes vigorous flowering of bushes.

Did you know that anything that grows in the ground can be grown in containers? This is true even for potted roses. The only thing that is always important to remember is that they need to be watered and fertilized more often. You can decorate your balcony, entrance, patio or terrace with these plants. They are universal because they can move anywhere at your request and grow in any size garden.

What steps should you take to ensure roses grow well in pots?

1. 
   Pot. You can use plastic or ceramic. In cooler regions, plastic lives longer and cracks less in the cold, unlike ceramics. In warm areas, ceramic pots will protect the root system from overheating and drying out. The size of the container depends on the rose being grown in it. How more flower, the larger the pot. For miniature roses the height of the vessel should be at least 25 cm if the height of the rose is 45 cm. For patio roses with a height of up to 60 cm, a pot with a height of 30 cm is suitable. For bush roses with a height of up to 60 cm, buy vases with a height of 40 cm. For roses with a height of 1.2 m, tall ones are suitable urns (from 50 cm high). The diameter of the pot will depend on the root system. Please note that it must fit there freely.
2. 
   Substrate. Roses love healthy, rich soil. They consume a lot of nutrients to grow and bloom. For roses in pots, either a ready-made substrate is selected, or you prepare it yourself from soil, garden compost and rotted manure. Perlite can be added to this mixture as drainage. The right soil in a pot is more than half the success.
3. Planting a rose in a pot. Fill the pot ⅔ full with the planting mixture. Spread the roots over the top. Cover the roots and fill the container completely. Water well.
4. Rose care, grown in pots. It is necessary to water the container rose when the soil mixture dries to a depth of 2-3 cm. Fertilize such plants once every 2 weeks with water-soluble fertilizers.
5. In cold climates You will need to hide potted roses in a cool room.
6. Distance between pots with roses - at least 60 cm. This is necessary for good air circulation between them and will reduce the risk of fungal diseases.
7. Potted roses, just like ground roses, need 6-7 hours of direct sunlight.
8. Time and type trimmings for roses in tubs the same as for flower beds.

Almost all roses grow well in pots. Difficulties will only be caused by major and climbing roses. They have a large root system and need more space around them.

A home rose growing in a pot looks no less attractive than a garden rose. But indoor varieties require increased attention. In order for a flower from a store to grow and develop correctly at home and not get sick, it needs to create certain conditions. All the features of maintaining such a plant after purchase will be discussed in the article.

Home White Rose It looks gentle, elegant, and exudes a pleasant aroma. Before buying such a plant, you need to decide on the type. After all, for home cultivation they use different varieties. Photos and videos of some species will be presented below.

The following varieties of indoor varieties are most in demand among gardeners:

1. Miniature potted species. These include the varieties GreenIce, Apricot, Stars’n’Stripes, Lavender Jewel, Mandarin, Hi – Ho.
2. Repairers.
3. Hybrid tea. These include Peer Gynt, Nostalgie, Gloria Dei, Monika, Prima Ballerina, Apricot Silk, Pascali.
4. Ground cover. These varieties are Meillandecor, The Fairy, Magic and Alba.
5. Bengal. The most commonly grown plants are Pink Grotendors and Ophelia.

If a florist plans to cultivate a tree in an apartment and dwarf varieties garden roses, you should choose your own root bushes. After all, plants grafted onto rose hips will not grow at home.

What to do with the flower after purchase?

Available in stores a wide range of roses Flowers are sold in containers. Often, some time after purchase, the plant begins to wither, dry out and die, and the leaves turn yellow and fall off.

After this, it is important that the plant adapts to new conditions. To do this, it is recommended not to touch it for several days. And then they start transplanting. How to properly propagate and root a flower from cuttings in the country?

How to transplant a rose?

For transplantation you will need a fertile substrate, small stones or sand, drainage material, vermiculite, flowerpot and stimulants for adaptation.

Some experts advise washing the root zone, removing all soil, and then soaking it in a stimulating solution. Others argue that such a procedure is not necessary and that it is enough to simply spray the flower and leaves with special compounds.

It is better to buy substrate and soil in the store. But if this is not possible, you can prepare the soil mixture yourself. To do this, take turf, humus soil and coarse sand in a ratio of 1:1:0.5. To protect against diseases, it is recommended to add phytosporin in powder form to the soil.
