Indoor rose in the garden. How to care for a homemade rose in a pot

Who can resist the charm of delicate rose buds? Certainly not keen flower growers!

Therefore, every flower lover simply must have a rose in a pot in his home collection.

Very often the purchase of a rose turns out to be spontaneous. Of course, because in the store they look very attractive. Indoor roses are often given to women who love flowers.

In any case, if you purchased a rose or received it as a gift, you will definitely find our article useful.

How to save an indoor rose after purchase

The rose is a difficult flower to keep at home; it is quite demanding and capricious. It is not enough to become the happy owner of this beauty, you also need to preserve the flower and find an approach to it, otherwise sad consequences will not keep you waiting.

Yes exactly. The purchased plant usually looks fresh and full of vigor, blooms amazingly and it seems that it will always be like that.

In fact, plants arrive on the counter fed with all kinds of stimulants; in addition, they have special packaging that preserves high humidity. Once on our windowsill, roses are deprived of all this.

Almost immediately, inexperienced gardeners have problems: the roses begin to turn yellow, their leaves dry out and fly off, the buds fall off and turn black. Rosette orders him to live long and disappears, leaving behind nothing but frustration.


It should be noted that the rose is considered a plant open ground. Some varieties are more adapted for indoor living than others. But this does not mean that keeping them in an apartment is an easy matter.

When purchasing an indoor rose, after purchase it is simply necessary to take a set of rescue measures, even if the plant looks healthy and strong. Believe me, it won't last long!

So, what steps should you take when you bring a rose home:

  1. Remove the packaging wrapper, if any. Although the packaging helps to retain moisture, it often causes the rose to become infected with fungal diseases while still in the store, because... packaging interferes with air exchange, creating an ideal environment for fungi.
  2. Use pruning shears or scissors to remove all wilted leaves, blackened and dried stems that are on the plant.
  3. Flowers and buds also need to be trimmed. Of course, for the sake of them we buy a plant and we would like to admire them to our heart’s content, but a plant whose flowering was stimulated by special preparations and greenhouse care, subsequently simply cannot withstand this abundant flowering, and having given him all his strength, dies. Therefore, we cut off all the flowers and buds that are present on the plant, along with the supporting stem.
  4. Pay attention to the number of bushes in the pot. Growers of indoor roses often plant several plants in one pot to create the appearance of a lush flowering bush. Crowded plants weaken each other, nutrients lacks. Bushes, if there are several of them, must be planted in different pots.
  5. After transplantation, it is necessary to treat the rose with antifungal drugs (Fitosporin) and pest control drugs (Fitoverm).

Transplanting an indoor rose

To replant a rose, remove it from the previous pot along with the earthen lump. Assess the condition of the roots weaving around the ground.

If the roots are hair-thin, brown or blackened, dry or rotten, the plant will most likely die. You can try to save it: cut cuttings and try to root them.

Healthy roots are bright white or yellowish in color and look quite dense, like a thin wire. If the roots are only partially missing, you need to remove all the rotten and damaged ones, leaving the healthy ones.

Place expanded clay or other drainage at the bottom of the new pot.

It is better to purchase a soil mixture ready for roses or a garden mixture. Do not use cheap soil; it contains a lot of peat and few nutrients. It is better to choose a higher quality soil mixture.

You can make your own soil mixture by taking: 1 part humus + 1 part leaf soil + 1 part coniferous soil + 3 parts turf soil + 1 part sand.

Fill the drainage with soil and compact it a little. Place the rose bush together with a lump of earth, cover it with new soil, periodically compacting it so that the bush does not dangle in the pot, but is well fixed. Water with settled or filtered water room temperature.

Treatment against diseases and pests is necessary. A pruned and replanted plant is weakened and susceptible to disease, even if it was purchased at the store good care and no infection occurred there. Therefore, it is better to play it safe and process it.

Also, after transplantation, treatment with Epin is effective - it will strengthen the plant’s immunity and reduce stress from transplantation.

Spray your plant; it requires high humidity, especially in conditions of operating heating and dry air in the apartment. If the rose is very small and weak, then the pot can be covered with a bottle (with small holes) on top, creating a greenhouse, and only then gradually accustom the rose to apartment air.

Caring for indoor roses

Lighting

Rose is a light-loving plant. For her well-being, she needs a lot of light. South windows are very suitable for growing. On other sides of the world winter time lighting will be required.

Temperature

The optimal temperature for growing indoor roses is 18-25 degrees. Since the rose is an open ground plant, it loves fresh air very much and it needs it for full growth. IN summer time The rose can be taken out into the garden or onto the balcony. The rest of the time, you need to organize ventilation, while avoiding drafts that are harmful to roses.

Watering

Water the homemade rose with settled water at room temperature. Cold water is harmful to them. Rose will be grateful for regular spraying both in the summer heat and in the winter heating season. If the rosette is near the battery, then it is better to place it in a tray with wet expanded clay.

Fertilizers

Rosette is fed complex fertilizers for roses from spring to winter once every 2-3 weeks, gradually reducing the frequency of feeding in the fall.

Reproduction

Indoor roses are propagated by cuttings. Cuttings up to 15 cm long, with several buds, are suitable for this. They are rooted in the ground, covered with a bottle or bag on top. To do this, you can take small cups for seedlings.

Roots appear in about 2 weeks. The greenhouse can be gradually removed after new leaves appear. Rooted cuttings can be replanted only when they are well developed. root system.

Trimming

Roses require periodic pruning to form a bush. It is best to produce it in the spring. Branches that have lengthened over the winter, faded flowers, and weak and dry branches are removed.

Diseases and pests of indoor roses


Problems and their solutions:

The rose is drying

This problem occurs especially often in summer and winter. On hot days, the rose evaporates a lot of moisture; you need to closely monitor the soil moisture, not allowing it to dry out completely, and also spray it regularly. In winter due to heating devices air humidity tends to zero, the plant begins to experience a moisture deficiency.

The rosette dries out in the following cases:

  • the root system is damaged or dead and the rose cannot absorb moisture and nutrients
  • insufficient watering and humidity
  • very dry indoor air
  • the rose stands near the heating devices

If you notice that the leaves of your rose have begun to dry, do not wait to continue, but take measures to save the flower. First of all, you need to check the soil in the pot, if it is dry, water it. It is also recommended to remove the plant from central heating radiators. Place the rose in a tray with damp expanded clay and spray it often. If the rose bush is small, you can cover it with a bag or bottle until the plant returns to normal.

If the above measures do not help, remove the plant from the pot and look at the condition of the roots. If they are dry and brittle, darkened, then the flower is in danger of dying, and all that remains is to take cuttings from it. Because if the roots of a plant have dried out due to infrequent watering, or for other reasons (sometimes they are already like this from the store) and died, then there is no way to restore them.

The leaves of the rose are turning yellow

Why leaves may turn yellow:

  • excessive watering, roots do not get enough air
  • poor useful substances soil: lack of nitrogen, potassium, manganese, phosphorus
  • lack of iron (chlorosis)
  • putrefactive processes in the root system
  • pests

If your rose is turning yellow, first of all pay attention to watering, whether it is too frequent. What type of potting soil is it in? Doesn't it resemble swamps? In this case, watering should be reduced, leaving only spraying for a while.

If after purchasing you have not yet replanted the rose, then do it urgently. The land in which they are sold is very poor in nutrients. Or the soil into which you transplanted the plant was not best quality, this also happens.

You can try feeding the rose with complex fertilizers for flowers, preferably specifically for roses. Favorite fertilizers: Greenworld and Bona Forte for roses.

If fertilizing helps little and only temporarily, then it is worth replanting the plant in more nutritious soil. You should not replant the rose into the ground from the garden.

If you find chlorosis in a rose - this is a characteristic yellowing of the leaves, then this indicates a lack of iron. Feed the rose with Iron Chelate or Ferrovit according to the instructions.


Rose chlorosis

If the rose for a long time was flooded (perhaps this happened in the store + from high humidity a fungus is often attached), then its root system could rot. If the roots look black or brown and are easily crushed with a finger, then they have rotted and cannot be restored. If some of the roots are healthy, then the rotten roots must be removed and the flower transplanted into a pot with good drainage and don't fill it anymore.

Water the rose only with water at room temperature. Extremely cold water poorly dissolves the nutrients contained in the soil and the plant does not receive them. It also promotes root rot, reduces the plant’s immunity and increases susceptibility to disease.

The rose's leaves darken, wither, and fall off.

Falling leaves may be due to dryness (see above, The rose is drying out). If the leaves do not dry, but wither and fall off, then this may be for the following reasons:

  • the rose is frozen (draft, ventilation in winter, if the wind blows on it, etc.)
  • watering with cold water
  • fungal diseases
  • viral diseases
  • pests

Dark, withered leaves and the shoots need to be pruned. If the rose is frozen, it will gradually move away on its own, shedding its frostbitten leaves.

How to recognize fungal diseases? Blackened or greyed, covered with plaque, stems, all kinds of growths and plaques, spots on leaves, “rust” of roses, powdery mildew are a sign of fungal diseases. We treat them with Fitosporin according to the instructions.

How to recognize viral diseases? Changes in leaf color, mosaic, deformation of the shape of the leaf blade are signs of a viral disease. Viral diseases are treated by removing damaged shoots and improving the conditions of the plant and increasing its immunity.

How to recognize a pest? Often the consequences of the actions of malicious insects are visible visually. Either the pests themselves are present on the leaves, they can be very small, multi-colored and transparent, but still if you look closely, you will see how they move, or traces of their vital activity - spots on the leaves, paths, black dots, cobwebs (if infected) spider mite). In general, roses are very fond of mites, aphids, thrips and other pests; in the summer, treatment with drugs against them is strictly necessary, even if you don’t see them. In this case, we use the drug Fitoverm according to the instructions.

Still, it is worth remembering that no matter how hard you try to create greenhouse conditions inside the apartment, the rose may not appreciate it, and it is best to plant it in the garden, where it will definitely feel at home.










Charming potted roses are not only a “living bouquet”, but also a beautiful indoor or garden plant. A pot of roses can be kept in the house or on the balcony. The best option- growing in a rose garden, flower garden, rock garden or front garden.

I started growing potted roses on my property after I had a lot of trouble with thorny garden rose bushes: I had to pull a lot of needles out of my hands and sew up several torn trousers. I relax with potted roses. I am not afraid of their needles, care for flowering bushes is minimal, and their beauty is indescribable. Winter hardiness is high, there are few pests and diseases. Transfer from pot to rose garden flowering bush IR, which can be bought inexpensively at any hypermarket, is not difficult at all.

What kind of potted roses are on sale?

There are many potted roses. The label rarely lists a specific variety. More often it is Cordana rose mix(abundant flowering and stability), Turbo(beautiful large flowers) and Palace(strong and winter-hardy roses). Potted rose bushes transplanted to the site often become taller, since a rose may be among them floribunda, hybrid tea roses and others treated with retardants (substances that inhibit the elongation of shoots, thickening them).

When we buy a rose bush in a pot for ourselves or as a gift, we look at general state plants, shape and color of flowers. As a rule, these plants are several months old from the moment of rooting. Usually, several bushes are crowded into each pot at once. This explains the splendor of “living bouquets”. Occasionally it happens that mini-roses of different varieties end up in the same pot.

Miniature roses, or mini roses, bloom profusely and for a long time, and have graceful foliage. The colors and shapes of flowers are varied, so it is difficult for the buyer to make a choice. How not to buy a bush with greenish flowers? Or prefer yellow, purple, pink or scarlet?

And how beautiful white roses are! I recently bought a “living bouquet” with delicate cream-colored flowers as a gift.

The height of the bushes of inexpensive potted roses, which are almost always on sale, is from 15 to 35 cm. The most expensive roses in pots are larger, about 40 - 45 cm high. They are also sold in supermarkets among indoor plants.

Why on the site and not at home?

Potted roses Houses Badly. They suffer from pests (spider mites), dry air and other problems. It is difficult for an amateur gardener to choose the appropriate watering regime, ensure the difference between night and day air temperatures, not overdose fertilizers, etc. An exhausted potted rose loses its dried leaves and then dies. Only a few amateur gardeners successfully grow this garden plant in their rooms.

Compromise option— planting a potted rose in a container, which for the winter is transferred to the basement, to an insulated loggia, or placed on a windowsill. This is also a troublesome task.

A potted rose feels completely different when transplanted into the open ground of the site. It comes to life, withstands heat and drought, and blooms for a long time even in cool, rainy summers.

I I'm passing through the whole bush from the pot, without dividing it into parts, so as not to destroy the recently rooted cuttings. They (thanks to accelerated technologies) have already begun to bloom. The rose will develop a good root system over time. And the pruning shears will relieve it from thickening and remove weak shoots.

Transplanting potted roses in the fall often leads to the death of the plant. It is safer to keep a rose purchased at this time on the windowsill for a while without removing the transparent packaging for a week. Moisten the soil only through the tray. You can carefully (without damaging the roots) transfer the bush into a larger pot, adding fresh soil. You will have to care for the rose as a rather complex indoor plant. Treat for spider mites, shorten the shoots, and after a while put them up for winter in a suitable place, preventing the soil from drying out. Experienced lovers of indoor roses claim that they need to be watered almost hot water through a sieve with a watering can or shower.

In May, the potted rose can already be transplanted into the flower garden. During temporary cold weather, it is better to cover it with light lutrasil. Helps cope with stress phytohormones, For example, Epin. I wrote about some of the features of its use in the article “Mottling of leaves, drying out of branches and other diseases of edible honeysuckle.”

Wintering miniature roses

The winter hardiness of potted roses depends not only on the variety, but also on the region from which the plant is supplied. My roses that arrived from Spain could not overwinter. German ones have been wintering well “outside” for several years now. There are also domestic roses on sale in pots, which are quite hardy.

Before winter, you need to put the bushes in order, add compost to the base and cover them on top. There is another option: in dry weather, cover the rose with several layers of lutrasil and a large plastic flower pot with drainage holes. Place a brick on it or flat stone so as not to be blown away by the wind. I postpone the main pruning to spring.

You can also do this: shorten potted roses transplanted to the site in the fall and almost completely cover them with soil (in dry weather). Place a corner of the board on top (leave a gap for ventilation) or cover with spruce branches. In such conditions, the plant overwinters well. The main problem is not freezing, but damping off of the bush.

We rarely know what variety a potted rose purchased or received as a gift is. If possible, you need to choose winter-hardy varieties. For example, " Baby Masquerade"(reminiscent of "Gloria Day"), " Yellow Doll"(with flowers large for mini-roses), " Magic Carrousel Min"(with double fragrant flowers), " Carmen"(with scarlet flowers) and " Green Ice Min"(disease resistant). Less cold-resistant variety " Daniela"(very beautiful) in winter it needs to be reliably insulated.

I know the characteristics of my roses well. Last year I sent one of them with flowers to spend the winter. The pruning was carried out in the spring, removing blackened parts of the shoots, thin branches, etc. Now (the middle of the second decade of June) the overgrown bush is covered with buds.

Garden care and homemade rose is different because a plant in a pot behaves differently than in open ground. A capricious flower requires special attention, and it is also important to know how to properly care in order to preserve decorative look indoor rose.

Actions after purchasing a potted rose

To attract buyers, sellers use techniques that harm the plant and lead to its death.

If the rose was given as a gift or it was purchased at a flower shop, then as soon as the plant is at home, perform a number of actions:

  1. Immediately remove the packaging, in which fungi reproduce well, as air does not reach the plant.
  2. Carefully inspect and remove dried or wilted branches and leaves.
  3. Place under warm shower to remove possible pests.
  4. Cut flowers and buds. In stores, the plant is treated with stimulants, which cause abundant flowering, which is beyond the strength of a rose. She could die quickly.
  5. If there are several bushes in the pot, then they are planted.
  6. The rose is treated with special preparations against fungi and pests.
  7. It needs to be transplanted into another pot after two to three weeks so that it gets used to the new living conditions.
  8. In the evening it is useful to spray with cool boiled water.

Requirements for growing conditions

Proper care of a plant is impossible without understanding the natural needs on which the growing rules are based.

Pot and soil

The pot must have a hole for removal excess moisture. After purchase, the new ceramic pot is placed in warm water for two to three hours.

  • Artificial lighting is used in winter, the lamps must have a red-blue spectrum; it is better to use special phytolamps.

Air temperature and humidity

In summer, the temperature should not be higher than 22 degrees; in winter, the rose can be placed on a glazed balcony at a temperature of at least 8 degrees.

Air humidity is not lower than 50%. In winter, the air in the apartment is too dry, which harms the plant.

Video about the secrets of caring for potted roses:

The home rose in a pot is a rather finicky plant. For normal development and regular flowering, it needs special care, all the secrets and nuances of which we will now tell you.

A little history

  • Old branches are removed at the root, leaving stumps up to 3 cm high
  • Young shoots are pruned above the 5th living bud, and it is important that the shoot also has several leaves

In addition, the formation of a bush can be carried out throughout the growing season. Some subspecies of the plant are specially trimmed to achieve a certain shape. Most often you can see rose bushes in a ball-shaped pot; this looks unusual in the interior.

In addition, flowering cubes, prisms, trapezoids and volumetric triangles are popular. Some people cut the plant according to special patterns with complex elements.

Care during the rest period

Flowers feel cared for

After pruning for the dormant period, which usually coincides with winter, the home rose is sent to a cooler room. At the same time, watering is reduced, and spraying can be abandoned altogether.

In order for the rose bush to feel normal during the dormant period and be able to regain strength for new growth and flowering, it needs to create the following conditions:

  • The temperature should not exceed 10-15 degrees
  • The plant should be kept away from heating devices
  • In the autumn winter period short lighting is enough for the plant daylight hours. It is worth supplementing the illumination with lamps only when the flowering period of the plant is prolonged.
  • Watering is reduced and the top layer of soil can be allowed to dry out slightly. Under no circumstances should the earthen clod be allowed to dry out. Water 1-2 times a week
  • They refuse to spray and fertilize altogether.

To maintain the necessary humidity around a houseplant, a trick is used. Moistened expanded clay is poured into the tray, a stand is placed, and a pot with a homemade rose is placed on it.

The ideal room for relaxation in an apartment would be the bathroom, but you should take into account the fact that the flower may not tolerate hot fumes. Roses behave well in basements

, most flower growers send them there. The main thing is that during severe frosts the temperature in the basement does not drop below +5, this will destroy the rose in the pot forever. In winter, during the dormant period, you can see flowerpots with blooming rose bushes on the windows . To save the flower you should trim and create the necessary conditions

for relax. Continuous flowering will destroy the plant very soon.

If the flower does not want to retire, and the gardener wants to admire the flowering longer, it is worth shifting the period of the beginning of the growing season. Strictly maintained rest periods are extremely necessary for such plants. After the purchase

rose bush

in a pot, or the standard was simply given to you, it should adapt to the surrounding microclimate. During this period, it is completely unacceptable to make a transplant immediately upon arrival home. The flower will need about 10-14 days to get used to it; after this period, you can experiment a little with it. Summer option for decorating the facade of your home

In order for the rose to survive the stress associated with “moving”, it is necessary to create suitable conditions for it.

In this case, adaptation will be faster and more efficient, and the flower will soon begin to bloom and develop further.

  • Experienced flower growers advise that in the first week of the rose’s stay in your home, create conditions as close as possible to store conditions:
  • What is needed for this?
  • Maintain the air temperature as in a flower shop, this is approximately 16-19 degrees
  • Spray the plant regularly, it is best to do this in the first half of the day and immediately after lunch, so that the stems and leaves have time to dry before dark. Undrained moisture can develop into putrefactive formations that develop quickly and can destroy the plant If a flower was purchased in winter and has a lot of buds and flowers, you need to take care of artificial supplementary lighting. For this they use
  • It is worth understanding that there are two types of lamps, which of them is more suitable for your pet should be explained by the consultant. When purchasing a lamp, if possible, agree on a possible replacement or return of the product within the warranty period, as practice shows, roses in a pot can react differently to such “helpers”
  • Water regularly and carefully monitor the condition of the soil in the pot. Do not allow the earthen clod to sour or dry out
  • Conduct preventative treatment fungicides to prevent diseases and pests

After the rose in the pot has come to terms with the change in microclimate, it can be replanted and gradually accustomed to its new place of residence.

To do this, it is advisable to change the pot and soil.

Replanting the rose bush after adaptation is mandatory; most of the soils used for planting in such cases are not suitable for further growing indoor flowers.

Transfer rules In order for a rose to grow well and delight you with flowering at home, it needs to be provided with high-quality soil. From it she will draw useful ingredients for herself through the roots. required quantity

. It is not necessary to replant a rose bush often; such manipulations are carried out once every 2-3 years or immediately after purchase in a store.

Transplanting indoor roses

1 To do everything correctly, you need to know some of the subtleties of transplantation: First you need to choose a container for planting.

2 Any plant will feel most comfortable in a high-quality ceramic pot. If you couldn’t find one that matches the color or design, you can transplant the rose bush into a plastic one. The selected container for transplantation should be 3-5 cm wider than the previous one, but the height for roses is not important From an aesthetic point of view, a low pot is more suitable for roses . These are the dimensions most often chosen by designers to create unusual interiors

3 . The shape and size will help the gardener independently experiment with the formation of the bush. For high capacity, such solutions will also be acceptable, but not every figure will create the desired effect. Smaller vessels will fit more aesthetically into almost any design in the house, and on the windowsill a wide bowl will provide more space for the standard.. It is on this component that the development and growth of the rose bush most depends. Incorrectly selected or poor-quality ingredients will soon destroy the rose, but if everything is done correctly, the flower will thank you for this with lush greenery and lush flowering

4 Ideal for Rosaceae, a soil mixture of 1 part turf soil, 1 part humus and ¼ sand is suitable.. You have to prepare it yourself, mix all the ingredients well and let it warm up a little at room temperature. If it is not possible to prepare such a mixture, you can use a purchased substrate for indoor plants or a regular universal one.

5 It is worth knowing that the plant can react to universal primer . This manifests itself in a sharp yellowing and shedding of foliage, withering of flowers and buds, drying out of twigs

The transplant process is in full swing

The basic preparations have been made, now you can begin the transplant itself. Water the flower in an old pot well and let the roots and soil soften for 10-15 minutes. Then the trunk is taken out of the pot and, by transferring it, transplanted into a prepared container.

The procedure is carried out as follows:

  • A layer of expanded clay is covered with a nutritious soil mixture, and an earthen ball of indoor rose is placed on it
  • Gradually fill the pot with soil, filling all the gaps
  • After this, lightly trample the soil and water
  • It is advisable to place the transplanted trunk in the shade for a day or place it in a north window

Do not trample down the soil in the pot too much; rosaceae grow better in airy, fluffy soil mixtures.

After a day's rest, the transplanted trunk is determined on permanent place residence, which should be well lit, but without direct sunlight. Drafts will also not have the best effect on the growth and development of a home rose in a pot. Necessary components will be access to fresh air, maintenance optimal temperature

and humidity.

If the transplant occurs during the period after purchasing the flower, then it is worth removing the buds from the stem as much as possible. Usually a couple of buds and no more than three flowers are left.

Fertilizers and fertilizers

Any indoor plant in a pot needs fertilizing; a limited amount of soil will not be able to fully meet all the needs of the flower.

For home roses it is necessary to use organic and mineral fertilizers, while simultaneous application can destroy the plant.

Therefore, it is best to adhere to this feeding schedule with early spring and until the beginning of autumn:

  • Add organic matter for one week; rose bushes respond best to spotted mullein. It is prepared from one part of dry cow dung, soaked in one part of water. Such a product should stand for at least 10-15 days, but in pure form It cannot be used, it is too concentrated. For feeding per liter of water, only 100-150 g of this infusion is enough
  • Sometimes fertilizing is prepared from poultry droppings; for this, 100 g of dry matter is poured with 5 liters of water and kept for at least 20 days. In this case, it will be important temperature regime , at which the product fermented. Most suitable option
  • − this is a basement where the temperature will not be higher than +15. The finished product should be used in even smaller doses than mullein; 20-30 g per liter of water for irrigation is enough.
  • A concentrated infusion of chicken manure would also be a good option, but for one part of dry matter you need three parts of water. Infuse it for at least 20 days, and use it in the same way as mullein
  • You can prepare all three options for natural organic fertilizer and apply them alternately. The rose will only benefit from this; within 1-1.5 months it will receive in a balanced manner everything necessary for the growth and development of not only foliage The second week for Rosaceae should be mineral, fertilizers are applied exactly seven days after fertilizing with organic matter occurs. Can be used universal remedy for indoor

flowering plants

or purchase a special one for indoor roses Mineral fertilizer for indoor roses

Fertilizing is applied in the first half of the day, it is better to do this after watering

. It is better to carry out the procedure in clear weather; a cloudy sky does not contribute to the normal absorption of applied fertilizers. Reproduction

Home roses are propagated by cuttings; this process is carried out from spring to late autumn.

  • The propagation process consists of several stages, the result of the first being the formation of roots in the cuttings. The second is concluding, its completion is characterized by the rooting and development of a new plant. Reproduction must be carried out as follows: The branches after pruning before wintering will also serve.
  • Each cutting should be at least 8-10 cm in length, have 3-5 live buds and preferably have several leaves
  • The cutting is prepared with a sharp knife or garden pruning shears; it is best to make an oblique cut The finished branches are placed in a container with water, and the temperature regime will play an important role.
  • The most favorable temperature is 20-22 degrees Celsius After 18-21 days, the cuttings should have roots

, the more there are, the better for the future plant

  • This is what a cutting with roots looks like

Now the second stage begins, the cuttings with roots are planted in small containers with prepared substrate. You need to use the same soil mixture as when replanting the plant. A mixture of fine sawdust and peat will also give good results.

. The container chosen is not very large, but not small either; the calculation is made so that the plant fits along with the roots and a lump of earth Further care for rose cuttings is completely similar to caring for an adult plant.

The young bush is also watered, sprayed, and fed. During the replanting process, you must strictly ensure that you do not damage the delicate young roots, they are still quite fragile.

A tree with a damaged root system will lag significantly behind in development; leaves may drop for no reason, and shoots will dry out.

In order not to damage the plant’s immunity, the first buds from it must be completely cut off.

To speed up the appearance of roots on cuttings, you need to completely protect them from light penetration and use growth stimulants. There are other methods for rooting cuttings of Rosaceae; for this, a raw potato tuber is used. The process is not complicated, but quite lengthy. Freshly cut cuttings are stuck into a cut in a potato and left in a dark place for 14-21 days.

Thanks to starch, pink cuttings take root faster, they are stronger and less brittle. After this, the cuttings are usually planted in peat cups, and after rooting in permanent pots of small diameter.

Diseases and pests

House roses are susceptible to some diseases and pest attacks.

  • The reasons for each individual case are individual: Powdery mildew occurs due to overcrowding large quantity With this disease, the leaves and twigs of the plant become covered with a white coating, dry out and curl over time. The method of control is a sparser arrangement of pots with indoor plants and treatment with special means. Good effect give "Topaz", "Fundazol".

Powdery mildew on roses

  • Gray rot can occur both on the tops of stems and on lower leaves, They fight it with a concentrated soda solution, which is used to spray the entire plant a number of times. In this case, it is important to cover the soil with a layer of protective film.
  • A concentrated solution of laundry soap with the addition of pharmaceutical brilliant green or iodine will also have the desired effect.

Add 20-30 g of grated soap and 15-20 drops of medication per liter of water. During the first treatment, you can use a smaller amount of drugs from the first aid kit; 15 drops will be enough. This will help avoid chemical burns to the foliage.

  • Gray rot on a leaf of an indoor rose Most often, a house rose in a pot is loved by spider mites. . Its appearance is difficult not to notice; white dots appear on the leaves, which gradually grow. To combat this pest, special acaricide preparations are used.

Other means are unlikely to have the desired effect in the fight against this pest. Spider mite

It is possible to win the war against them only with insecticides; they are not afraid of other means

Indoor rose! Care and extension of her life

Homemade rose in a pot: how to care for it after purchasing it at home? (20+ Photos & Videos) + Reviews Exquisite and bright, petite decorative rose

will decorate any interior. It belongs to the Rose family (Rosaceae) and when grown indoors it is a small neat bush from 35 to 45 cm. Proper care will give beautiful flowering from spring to autumn. Today there are several hundred varieties of indoor roses. Some varieties exude a delicate aroma, while others have no smell at all. This is a temperate climate plant, so it does not require special conditions

Features of growing home roses

The indoor rose blooms in spring and summer, at which time it needs light and good watering. For abundant flowering, it definitely requires a period of rest, which is best organized in winter.

This indoor plant well tolerated low temperatures, but demanding on air and soil humidity. She is very photophilous, but direct sunlight can harm her. Rose loves to “swim”, so you should follow the water procedures. She needs fresh air all year round.

Important! After purchasing, do not rush to replant it. It’s better to do this in two weeks, then she will better adapt to the new conditions.

Planting an indoor rose

Planting an indoor rose is not a troublesome task. It is important to know that the root system of the plant is very delicate, so it is better to replant by transshipment. Before planting a rose, you need to prepare a pot. The new pot needs to be soaked - pour water and leave for a day. The pot from under the old plant must be thoroughly cleaned with a brush without using detergents. If the pot has a drainage hole, then the expanded clay layer can be no more than 1 cm; if not, then 3 cm.

Planting methods

Planting indoor roses is done by cuttings.

Optimal time for planting

The best time to plant indoor roses is from May to September.

Soil for the plant (Soil composition)

A rose in a pot requires nutritious, breathable soil. It is best to use ready-made soil, purchased in a store. The optimal soil composition for the plant is turf and humus soil, sand in proportions of 4:4:1, respectively. It is not recommended to loosen the soil due to the risk of damaging the roots. Rose prefers neutral soil.

Features of caring for indoor roses at home

There are some care features that are specific to this houseplant.

Location and lighting for the plant

Rose needs fresh air, so the ideal placement for her is a balcony or garden bed in the summer (you can take it with you to the dacha if you spend the whole summer there). However, it is not recommended to leave it unattended because it requires frequent watering in the summer during the flowering period.

At home, it is best to place the rose on the southeast or south side, because it loves a lot of light. In autumn, when daylight hours are short, she needs to turn on additional lighting from a fluorescent lamp. This is done to extend the flowering period.

In winter during the dormant period comfortable temperature for roses - +10 - +12 degrees. If it is possible to place her on a glassed-in loggia or balcony, she will have a good rest. Room winter temperature not very suitable for her. If it is not possible to keep the flower at a low temperature, you should protect it as much as possible from the heat of radiators and dry air.

It is advisable to turn the pot with a miniature indoor rose from time to time in different directions to the light.

Important! If the rose overwinters on a glassed-in loggia, to prevent the soil from freezing, the pot with the plant can be placed in a box and sawdust sprinkled around it.

Air humidity

Indoor mini roses need high air humidity. When they are outdoors (on the balcony or in the garden), no additional moisture is required. In winter, if the rose is in the room, it is better to keep the pot with it in a tray with wet pebbles.

Rose needs weekly water treatments in the form of spraying. If the room is cool in winter, it is better not to spray the rose. If the air is too dry and warm, spraying should be carried out 1-2 times a week, even in winter.

Never spray your rose during the day in hot summer weather.

Important! In a dry atmosphere, pests may appear on the flower.

Temperature regime for a flower

The most comfortable temperature for roses in the summer is +14 - +25 degrees. In winter, the rose needs coolness - no higher than +15 degrees.

How to water correctly

Indoor roses do not tolerate either drying out or excessive watering. In summer, when the rose blooms, watering is necessary 2 times a day - in the morning and in the evening. You need to water with settled water at room temperature.

In the fall, when the rose sheds its leaves, watering should be reduced to once a week if the rose overwinters on the balcony. If she is in the room at quite high temperature, you need to water it as the top layer of soil dries.

You can alternate top and bottom watering (watering the soil and filling the pan). In any case, excess water from the pan must be drained to avoid rotting of the roots.

In the spring, as the plant awakens, watering should be gradually increased.

Feeding and fertilizing rose flowers

Because of long flowering, the rose loses its strength and needs to fertilize the soil. They begin to feed it towards the end of February once every 10 days. It is recommended to alternate mineral fertilizers with organic ones.

If you have just transplanted a flower into fresh soil, you do not need to fertilize it.

Important! Before applying fertilizer, the flower must be watered with warm water.

How to prune an indoor rose?

Pruning mini roses is necessary in order to stimulate the ovary. During the flowering period, be sure to prune wilted flowers as short as possible.

The flower is routinely pruned in the fall in preparation for the dormant period. You can also do this in the spring.

Trimming methods

Pruning must be done with a sharp tool so that there are no torn parts left on the branch, this can lead to the death of the entire plant. Trim the branches to healthy tissue, above the bud, which faces outward. An oblique cut is made approximately five millimeters above the kidney.

It is necessary to remove all weak or dry shoots, as well as those that do not have an upper bud. When two shoots are intertwined, one of them is removed. If, after pruning, two stems appear from one bud, the excess ones need to be cut off.

Important! Should not be carried out spring pruning, until at least 10 hours of daylight arrives, otherwise the young shoots will not be able to fully develop.

Transplanting a domestic rose

A rose needs a transplant in two cases - after purchase and as the plant grows.

Transplant methods

After the purchase

Before replanting a rose after purchase, it must be allowed to adapt. You don’t need to touch it for two weeks. First, the flower itself is prepared. The pot with the rose is placed in water, so it needs to stand for about half an hour. Then the rose needs to be bathed in a contrast shower ( hot water no higher than 40 degrees). After bathing, a greenhouse is made from a plastic bag so that it does not touch the leaves (the edges of the bag can be pinned to the ground). The greenhouse needs to be ventilated daily. The rose will be ready for transplanting when the flowers begin to fade. They need to be removed, and the plant can be replanted.

Immediately before planting, the flower must be removed from the pot and its roots immersed in warm water to wash off any remaining chemicals that were fed to the rose in the greenhouse. Soak the ceramic pot in water for a day.

Drainage is placed at the bottom of the pot, then a layer of soil. The plant is placed in a pot and covered with soil so that it is compacted tightly. The size of the pot should be slightly wider and higher than the previous container.

As needed

The rose does not like unnecessary disturbance, so annual replanting is not required unless the pot becomes too small for it. New dishes for roses are prepared in the same way - cleaned and soaked. The pot with the rose is placed in a container of water for 30 minutes to make the earthen lump easier to separate from the pot. Next, the flower is simply transferred to new pot and add fresh substrate, compacting it around the flower.

After transplanting, there is no need to water the flower, but it is better to place it in a shady place. Later you can move it to a permanent, well-lit place.

Important! Start feeding no earlier than a month after transplantation.

Propagation of indoor roses. Reproduction method

Indoor roses can be propagated by cuttings. The cutting is cut with a sharp knife; its length should be no more than 10 cm. It is better to treat the tool with a solution of potassium permanganate or alcohol. The cut should be oblique, right under the bud, so the cutting it will take root better. The upper cut is made 5 mm above the kidney. It is better to remove the leaves from the bottom of the cutting. There are two options for cutting indoor roses:

Soil

The cuttings can be briefly placed in water with the addition of heteroauxin (14 tablets per glass of water). After 10 hours, the cuttings are planted in a mixture of sand and peat, or just sand. Then greenhouse conditions are created for them using film or a cut-off water bottle. You don’t need to water a lot so that the cuttings don’t start to rot. The temperature should be at least +18 degrees, direct sunlight should be avoided.

The cuttings will take root in about a month, after which they can be opened to acclimate to drier air, and then transplanted into separate containers

Water

The cuttings need to be prepared in the same way, only their length should be about 15 cm. Then they are placed in a jar or glass of water, covered with a cardboard lid with holes into which the cuttings are inserted. The lower part should be immersed in water by 1.5-2 cm. If the humidity is too low, the cuttings should be sprayed. They can be replanted into pots when the roots grow 1-1.5 cm and begin to branch well.

Important! For good rooting and development of cuttings, they need at least 15 hours of daylight.

Indoor rose blooming

If you follow all the rules for caring for an indoor rose, it will bloom from late spring until autumn. If faded buds are removed in a timely manner, the rose will bloom continuously during this period. To prevent the pots from overheating in the sun, they can be wrapped in white paper.

When the plant blooms (flowering period), flower shape

In spring, the rose begins its active growing season, and then it blooms. Flowers can be of a variety of colors - from amazing tea to dark burgundy. The flowers are much smaller than the garden rose we are used to.

Plant care after flowering

At the end of flowering, the rose needs pruning and preparation for rest. If the roses were kept outdoors, they should be brought into the room as soon as the temperature begins to drop below +12 degrees. After pruning, you should gradually reduce watering and stop fertilizing.

Problems, diseases and pests of a flower

Problems with indoor roses can arise due to improper care. The reason for the lack of flowering may be:

  • Eating disorder
  • Increased soil acidity
  • Lack of lighting
  • Incorrect transplant
  • Drafts

Among the diseases, roses can be affected by chlorosis, which is treated with iron chelate. Yellowing of the plant indicates it is infected with a fungus. In this case, you need to treat the rose with a fungicide.

The same should be done in case of powdery mildew (white coating on the rose).

Of the pests, indoor roses are most often affected by spider mites (a thin web appears between the leaves). Spider mites on indoor roses can lead to viral diseases. You need to treat the flower with Apollo or Fitoverm.

Thrips or aphids on indoor roses pose no less of a threat. They affect buds and leaves, deforming them. Treated with insecticidal preparations for indoor plants.

Common types

Bengal rose

This is perhaps the most common variety of indoor roses. The Bengal rose is absolutely unpretentious and is distinguished by the fact that it does not shed its leaves after flowering. The flowers are odorless. Does not require pruning, except for dried or diseased branches.

miniature rose

The bushes are no higher than 30 cm, the flowers are collected in inflorescences and have a delicate aroma. Flowers can range from white to black. It blooms profusely and does not require pruning.

Baby Carnival

Characterized by abundant flowering, great for both rooms and garden borders. This yellow indoor rose invariably enjoys the love of gardeners.

Pixie

This variety is distinguished by two-color double flowers– white with a pink center. It blooms profusely and for a long time, reaching a height of only 20 cm.

Eleanor

More common in the south. Bushes 30 cm tall are strewn with coral-colored flowers. The flowers themselves are collected in inflorescences of 10-15 pieces.

As a reference: do not confuse miniature indoor roses with Chinese indoor roses. The latter has nothing to do with roses and is called hibiscus.

Several Yet useful tips to care for the beautiful rose:

  • Remember, a rose will do poorly both in a too cramped and in a very spacious pot. When replanting, take a container slightly larger than before, and when planting, gradually increase the size of the pot
  • When planting and replanting, you can add special granules to the substrate, which will prevent the roots from rotting and rotting.
  • The smaller the pot, the more often you should water the rose (in a small pot the soil dries out faster).

Answers to readers' questions

Plant lifespan

This plant is perennial and with good care lives a long time.

Is this flower poisonous?

The indoor rose is not a poisonous plant.

Why doesn't the rose bloom?

Previous chapters described situations when a rose stops blooming or does not bloom at all. This may be a consequence of disturbance in the maintenance of the plant, as well as exposure to pests. It is necessary to inspect the flower. If no pests are observed, you need to change some care parameters and observe the plant.

Why does an indoor rose dry (wither)?

If the plant withers and the buds fall off, it means that it does not have enough watering. If this continues with normal watering, look for signs of disease or pests.

How does the plant overwinter?

The best wintering environment for indoor roses will be a balcony with a temperature no higher than +15 degrees. This is a dormant period for the plant, so minimal watering is required and fertilizing is needed.

Who can resist the charm of delicate rose buds? Certainly not keen flower growers!

Therefore, every flower lover simply must have a rose in a pot in his home collection.

Very often the purchase of a rose turns out to be spontaneous. Of course, because in the store they look very attractive. Indoor roses are often given to women who love flowers.

In any case, if you purchased a rose or received it as a gift, you will definitely find our article useful.

How to save an indoor rose after purchase

Rose is not an easy flower to keep at home; it is quite demanding and capricious. It is not enough to become the happy owner of this beauty, you also need to preserve the flower and find an approach to it, otherwise sad consequences will not keep you waiting.

Yes exactly. The purchased plant usually looks fresh and full of vigor, blooms amazingly and it seems that it will always be like that.

In fact, the plants arrive on the counter fed with all kinds of stimulants; in addition, they have special packaging that retains high humidity. Once on our windowsill, roses are deprived of all this.

Almost immediately, inexperienced gardeners have problems: the roses begin to turn yellow, their leaves dry out and fly off, the buds fall off and turn black. Rosette orders him to live long and disappears, leaving behind nothing but frustration.

It should be noted that the rose is considered an open ground plant. Some varieties are more adapted for indoor living than others. But this does not mean that keeping them in an apartment is an easy matter.

When purchasing an indoor rose, after purchase it is simply necessary to take a set of rescue measures, even if the plant looks healthy and strong. Believe me, it won't last long!

So, what steps should you take when you bring a rose home:

  1. Remove the packaging wrapper, if any. Although the packaging helps to retain moisture, it often causes the rose to become infected with fungal diseases while still in the store, because... packaging interferes with air exchange, creating an ideal environment for fungi.
  2. Use pruning shears or scissors to remove all wilted leaves, blackened and dried stems that are on the plant.
  3. Flowers and buds also need to be trimmed. Of course, for the sake of them we buy a plant and we would like to admire them to our fullest, but the plant, the flowering of which was stimulated by special preparations and greenhouse care, subsequently simply cannot withstand such abundant flowering, and, having given all its strength to it, dies. Therefore, we cut off all the flowers and buds that are present on the plant, along with the supporting stem.
  4. Pay attention to the number of bushes in the pot. Growers of indoor roses often plant several plants in one pot to create the appearance of a lush flowering bush. Crowded plants weaken each other and there is a lack of nutrients. Bushes, if there are several of them, must be planted in different pots.
  5. After transplantation, it is necessary to treat the rose with antifungal drugs (Fitosporin) and pest control drugs (Fitoverm).

Transplanting an indoor rose

To replant a rose, remove it from the previous pot along with the earthen lump. Assess the condition of the roots weaving around the ground.

If the roots are hair-thin, brown or blackened, dry or rotten, the plant will most likely die. You can try to save it: cut cuttings and try to root them.

Healthy roots are bright white or yellowish in color and look quite dense, like a thin wire. If the roots are only partially missing, you need to remove all the rotten and damaged ones, leaving the healthy ones.

Place expanded clay or other drainage at the bottom of the new pot.

It is better to purchase a soil mixture ready for roses or a garden mixture. Do not use cheap soil; it contains a lot of peat and few nutrients. It is better to choose a higher quality soil mixture.

You can make your own soil mixture by taking: 1 part humus + 1 part leaf soil + 1 part coniferous soil + 3 parts turf soil + 1 part sand.

Fill the drainage with soil and compact it a little. Place the rose bush together with a lump of earth, cover it with new soil, periodically compacting it so that the bush does not dangle in the pot, but is well fixed. Water with settled or filtered water at room temperature.

Treatment against diseases and pests is necessary. A pruned and replanted plant is weakened and susceptible to disease, even if it was well cared for at the store and no infection occurred. Therefore, it is better to play it safe and process it.

Also, after transplantation, treatment with Epin is effective - it will strengthen the plant’s immunity and reduce stress from transplantation.

Spray your plant; it requires high humidity, especially in conditions of operating heating and dry air in the apartment. If the rose is very small and weak, then the pot can be covered with a bottle (with small holes) on top, creating a greenhouse, and only then gradually accustom the rose to apartment air.

Caring for indoor roses

Lighting

Rose is a light-loving plant. For her well-being, she needs a lot of light. South windows are very suitable for growing. On other cardinal points in winter, backlighting will be required.

Temperature

The optimal temperature for growing indoor roses is 18-25 degrees. Since the rose is an open ground plant, it loves fresh air very much and it needs it for full growth. In summer, the rose can be taken out into the garden or onto the balcony. The rest of the time, you need to organize ventilation, while avoiding drafts that are harmful to roses.

Watering

Water the homemade rose with settled water at room temperature. Cold water is harmful to them. Rose will be grateful for regular spraying both in the summer heat and in the winter heating season. If the rosette is near the battery, then it is better to place it in a tray with wet expanded clay.

Fertilizers

The rosette is fed with complex fertilizers for roses from spring to winter once every 2-3 weeks, gradually reducing the frequency of feeding in the fall.

Reproduction

Indoor roses are propagated by cuttings. Cuttings up to 15 cm long, with several buds, are suitable for this. They are rooted in the ground, covered with a bottle or bag on top. To do this, you can take small cups for seedlings.

Roots appear in about 2 weeks. The greenhouse can be gradually removed after new leaves appear. Rooted cuttings can be replanted only when the root system has developed well.

Trimming

Roses require periodic pruning to form a bush. It is best to produce it in the spring. Branches that have lengthened over the winter, faded flowers, and weak and dry branches are removed.

Diseases and pests of indoor roses


Problems and their solutions:

The rose is drying

This problem occurs especially often in summer and winter. On hot days, the rose evaporates a lot of moisture; you need to closely monitor the soil moisture, not allowing it to dry out completely, and also spray it regularly. In winter, due to heating devices, air humidity tends to zero, and the plant begins to experience a moisture deficiency.

The rosette dries out in the following cases:

  • the root system is damaged or dead and the rose cannot absorb moisture and nutrients
  • insufficient watering and humidity
  • very dry indoor air
  • the rose stands near the heating devices

If you notice that the leaves of your rose have begun to dry, do not wait to continue, but take measures to save the flower. First of all, you need to check the soil in the pot, if it is dry, water it. It is also recommended to remove the plant from central heating radiators. Place the rose in a tray with damp expanded clay and spray it often. If the rose bush is small, you can cover it with a bag or bottle until the plant returns to normal.

If the above measures do not help, remove the plant from the pot and look at the condition of the roots. If they are dry and brittle, darkened, then the flower is in danger of dying, and all that remains is to take cuttings from it. Because if the roots of a plant have dried out due to infrequent watering, or for other reasons (sometimes they are already like this from the store) and died, then there is no way to restore them.

The leaves of the rose are turning yellow

Why leaves may turn yellow:

  • excessive watering, roots do not get enough air
  • soil poor in nutrients: lacks nitrogen, potassium, manganese, phosphorus
  • lack of iron (chlorosis)
  • putrefactive processes in the root system
  • pests

If your rose is turning yellow, first of all pay attention to watering, whether it is too frequent. What type of potting soil is it in? Doesn't it resemble swamps? In this case, watering should be reduced, leaving only spraying for a while.

If after purchasing you have not yet replanted the rose, then do it urgently. The land in which they are sold is very poor in nutrients. Or the soil into which you transplanted the plant was not of the best quality, this also happens.

You can try feeding the rose with complex fertilizers for flowers, preferably specifically for roses. Favorite fertilizers: Greenworld and Bona Forte for roses.

If fertilizing helps little and only temporarily, then it is worth replanting the plant in more nutritious soil. You should not replant the rose into the ground from the garden.

If you find chlorosis in a rose - this is a characteristic yellowing of the leaves, then this indicates a lack of iron. Feed the rose with Iron Chelate or Ferrovit according to the instructions.

Rose chlorosis

If the rose was flooded for a long time (perhaps this happened in the store + a fungus often attaches due to high humidity), then its root system could rot. If the roots look black or brown and are easily crushed with a finger, then they have rotted and cannot be restored. If some of the roots are healthy, then the rotten roots should be removed, the flower should be transplanted into a pot with good drainage and not flooded again.

Water the rose only with water at room temperature. Extremely cold water poorly dissolves the nutrients contained in the soil and the plant does not receive them. It also promotes root rot, reduces the plant’s immunity and increases susceptibility to disease.

The rose's leaves darken, wither, and fall off.

Falling leaves may be due to dryness (see above, The rose is drying out). If the leaves do not dry, but wither and fall off, then this may be for the following reasons:

  • the rose is frozen (draft, ventilation in winter, if the wind blows on it, etc.)
  • watering with cold water
  • fungal diseases
  • viral diseases
  • pests

Dark, limp leaves and shoots need to be trimmed. If the rose is frozen, it will gradually move away on its own, shedding its frostbitten leaves.

How to recognize fungal diseases? Blackened or greyed, covered with plaque, stems, all kinds of growths and plaques, spots on leaves, “rust” of roses, powdery mildew are a sign of fungal diseases. We treat them with Fitosporin according to the instructions.

How to recognize viral diseases? Changes in leaf color, mosaic, deformation of the shape of the leaf blade are signs of a viral disease. Viral diseases are treated by removing damaged shoots and improving the conditions of the plant and increasing its immunity.

How to recognize a pest? Often the consequences of the actions of malicious insects are visible visually. Either the pests themselves are present on the leaves, they can be very small, multi-colored and transparent, but still, if you look closely, you will see how they move, or traces of their vital activity - spots eaten away by spots on the leaves, paths, black dots, cobwebs (if infected spider mite). In general, roses are very fond of mites, aphids, thrips and other pests; in the summer, treatment with drugs against them is strictly necessary, even if you don’t see them. In this case, we use the drug Fitoverm according to the instructions.

Still, it is worth remembering that no matter how hard you try to create greenhouse conditions inside the apartment, the rose may not appreciate it, and it is best to plant it in the garden, where it will definitely feel at home.

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.

Varieties of domestic rose

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 grown 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. Repairable.
  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 trees and dwarf varieties of garden roses in an apartment, you should choose your own rooted bushes. After all, plants grafted onto rose hips will not grow at home.

What to do with the flower after purchase?
