Exquisite and bright, a miniature 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 for cultivation. Caring for it is not very difficult, but during the flowering period it will require attention. And, of course, he will thank you with luxurious flowers.

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 she definitely needs a period of rest, which is best organized in winter.

This indoor plant Tolerates low temperatures well, but is 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's important to know that root system The plants are very tender, 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. Optimal composition soil for the plant - turf and humus soil, sand in proportions 4: 4: 1, respectively. It is not recommended to loosen the soil due to the risk of damaging the roots. Rose prefers neutral soil.

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 humidity air. 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 is summer time+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 - morning and 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). Anyway excess water the pan must be drained to avoid root rotting.

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 her towards the end of February once every 10 days. Recommended mineral fertilizers alternate 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.

Pruning mini roses is necessary in order to stimulate the ovary. During the flowering period, it is imperative to trim faded 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 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 away the remnants of the chemicals that the rose was fed with 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 put 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.

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. Bottom part should be immersed in water by 1.5-2 cm. If the humidity is too low, the cuttings need to 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.

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 ah 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. Bengal rose absolutely unpretentious, differs in 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

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.

If conditions permit, you can keep almost any roses in containers. But the most suitable plant for growing in a pot - garden rose. These flowers take up little space, with proper care they bloom almost all year round and have no equal in flower life expectancy.

Potted roses are usually sold already in bloom. This makes it easier to choose a plant, but complicates the process of its adaptation to new conditions. We bring to your attention an article about planting and caring for miniature roses, in which you can learn how to care for potted rose and how to grow roses in containers.

Having bought a blooming rose bush hic, admire the flowers and... pick them off. Don't regret it - when proper care your pet will reward you handsomely for this sacrifice. If there are several roses in a container, they need to be planted, if there is only one, they need to be replanted, since the volume and quality of the soil in which you purchased the rose are intended only for transportation and not for growing.

Growing roses in containers

The color and material from which the containers are made are not particularly important for plants - it is a matter of taste of the owner. But some recommendations are still appropriate: in the garden it is advisable to use massive, stable containers for roses (ceramic or other heavy material); o from metal containers should be discarded, as they get too hot in the sun, which is harmful to the plants. Light containers made of dark plastic are suitable for digging into the ground; in a city apartment white plastic pots will do winter Garden IR is lighter and, without distracting attention, will emphasize the color and graphics of plants.

The bush should not be moved with a lump of earth, but rather replanted, with a complete replacement of the soil. Gently shake off or wash away the old soil from the roots and plant in a pot bigger size or a container, filling it with ready-made soil mixture “Rose”. It will be even better if you mix it with fertile loam from your garden.

The soil in a pot is depleted much faster than in a garden. Do not water the rose during flowering. clean water, but with a weak fertilizer solution, and it is advisable to alternate mineral and organic fertilizers, and carefully ensure that the plant has enough light. By violating these conditions, you risk losing the rose.

Caring for a potted rose

Potted roses, which after transplantation, despite Taken measures, look depressed, need to be supported using stimulants and antidepressants for plants. Water them under the root with a solution of root or heteroauxin, and spray the above-ground part with a solution of epin or another preparation of a similar effect.

The “weak link” of winter container keeping of miniroses is the autumn-winter decrease daylight hours combined with the warmth of the apartment. Therefore, when caring for a potted rose, help the plant: create coolness or give more light, or better yet, both. The windowsill where the roses stand should be cool. It’s even better if you have an insulated loggia or winter garden. For good flowering Roses need 16-18 hours of daylight. Therefore, if you want them to bloom in winter, they need to be supplemented with light.

Planting and caring for a miniature rose

When purchasing a miniature rose, lovers sometimes expect that the plant will remain very small. But imported potted roses that go on sale are not mature plants (although already flowering), but rooted cuttings. If the size of the purchased bush is 5-7 cm, in adulthood it may turn out to be five to eight times larger. More often they sell abundantly flowering plants 20-25 cm high and quite mature in appearance. Make no mistake: they still have a two-fold increase to go before they reach full growth.

To avoid disappointment when buying a rose, ask what size this variety reaches when mature. If you want the bush to remain miniature, when caring for a miniature rose, use inhibitors - substances that inhibit plant growth. Do not overfeed it with nitrogen - it causes rapid growth (however, you cannot completely give up nitrogen either - the rosette will wither). Make sure that the rose receives enough light, otherwise it will have to reach for it.

When planting and caring for a miniature rose, do not forget that in the summer sunny window the roses will suffer from the heat - they need to be slightly shaded, and it is best to take them to the dacha. There they can be kept in a container or planted in the ground.

Roses planted in the ground can be left in the garden for good, covered for the winter like garden roses, or dug up in the fall and placed in containers, and planted in the ground again in the spring.

Container roses in winter

If you do not plan for winter flowering of roses, potted plants can be given a dormant period. Wintering container roses is not a problem if you have a cold but frost-free room (basement, barn, garage, etc.). And if not? Then, on a fine autumn day, in a dry part of the garden, dig a trench (it’s convenient to make it in a vegetable bed after harvesting) of such a width that the containers can stand freely, and a depth depending on the size of the plants (if necessary, they can be trimmed). Place the removed soil in rollers along the edges and lightly compact it. Protect from autumn rains with boards, slate or iron sheets. After the onset of persistent night frosts, use pruning shears to remove leaves from container roses and treat them with iron or copper sulfate from fungal infections. It would be a good idea to treat the prepared trench at the same time, making sure at the same time that it is still dry and free of mold.

The soil in containers should not freeze. If potted roses were outdoors, they need to be placed in a trench until covered. garden roses. If it is possible to preserve them until extreme cold without the earthen ball freezing (in a barn, garage, on the veranda), you can do this later.

You need to place container roses in a trench in good weather - they should go to winter dry. To prevent the shoots from touching the walls of the trench, they can be tied together with twine. Cover the trench with containers with shields to prevent moisture from entering. The shields can be insulated on top (spruce branches, branches, polystyrene foam, boards, film), and subsequently covered with snow.

In the spring, groundwater can spoil things if they lie high in your area. Monitor their level by looking into the well, and if there is none, into a specially prepared control pit next to the wintering containers (of course, it should also be covered with a shield - then the appearance of moisture in it will be a signal of rise groundwater, not melting snow). If water appears, the containers must be removed immediately.

Containers with roses removed from the trench should be kept for several days in a cool, wind-free room without direct sunlight, and only then exposed to the sun on a windowsill or in the garden - depending on weather conditions and your plans.

How to grow potted roses at home?

Potted roses are a wonderful gift for your beloved woman, which is suitable for any occasion. How can we make sure that these beauties do not wither the very next day, but delight their mistress for a long time? for a 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 buying, you need to take a good look at the flower: approved a large number of buds, 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. Getting into warm apartment, the plant is under stress, for acclimatization, they should be maintained indoors at a temperature between 15-18°C.

The most optimal time The best time to buy roses is the cold season, from autumn to spring. It is best to purchase 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 the 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.

Watering flowers with regular tap water at room temperature, 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, the 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 the temperature to +10…+15°C. 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.

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 suitable for indoor use 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 withered 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 entwined in 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 useful substances. 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 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 the 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

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 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, the plant begins to experience a moisture deficiency.

The rosette dries out in the following cases:

• the root system is damaged or died 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 small size, then 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
• iron deficiency (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 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 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. Strongly 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 graying, 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.

Rose bushes in pots prefer not to fight the vicissitudes of the cold season, but simply hibernate, accumulating strength for subsequent successful flowering.

Reference! A rose may not go on vacation only if the winter turns out to be very warm. The plant can set buds in December.

Some gardeners achieve year-round flowering by stimulating the rose with fertilizing and additional lighting, but it is important to remember that with this regime the plant is quickly depleted and can either take a long pause in flowering or die altogether.

Secrets of care

What to do with a potted plant after purchase?

A domestic rose, which has been pleasing its owner with its beauty for many years, in winter, as a rule, remains in a dormant period and requires appropriate care, the same every year.

A potted rose brought from the store is usually in the flowering stage and needs to be cared for in the following way:

Step-by-step instructions on how to grow an indoor flower in cold weather at home

Preparing for the rest period

In autumn, after flowering has ended, the rose is prepared for a period of dormancy.. and at this time they reduce and provide air humidification after turning on the central heating. Nutrients added to the soil at this time should not contain large amounts of nitrogen.

Do I need to move it to another location?

Heating radiators should not be located near the wintering bush., so if the rose spent the summer on the windowsill, you need to move it to another place for the winter. It is not recommended to move the pot from place to place during the dormant period of the rose, as well as to suddenly change the conditions of its home maintenance.

In the room where the rose bush overwinters, the temperature should not exceed 15-17 degrees. In December, you can take the plant out onto a glassed-in balcony, and place the pot in a bucket of sawdust so that the soil and roots do not freeze.

If for some reason the temperature in the room where the rose is kept drops below zero degrees, you need to take into account that the crop can only survive in this mode for a few days. To prevent frostbite, the soil in the pot should be covered with a layer of pine needles, and wrap the container itself with warm material.

Rose is a light-loving plant and in winter, when there is a shortage sunlight, it is compensated by highlighting phyto- or fluorescent lamps, which are placed at a height of 30-35 centimeters above the crown of the rose. The backlight is turned on three to four times a day.

The main problem for roses during the heating season is too dry air. Humidity can be increased by spraying or by placing a flower pot on a tray with wet expanded clay.

Watering

Wintering roses do not need frequent watering., the plant rests and recovers after flowering. The soil can be moistened only two to three days after drying. About twice every ten days. Use soft water and a temperature no higher than 18 degrees.

Top dressing

In winter, there is no need to add nutrients to the soil for potted roses. The plant is in a state of dormancy, allowing for the successful initiation of future bud formation. Stimulating the plant during this period will bring it out of hibernation and force it to gain green mass, which will negatively affect general condition roses. Read about how to fertilize a rose at other times of the year.

Trimming

The best time to prune is in December.. The procedure is carried out as follows:

Transfer

Best time to transplant healthy plant– first half of spring, but if for some reason the rose needs to be replanted in winter, it is advisable to do this in December, while the flower has not yet fallen into deep hibernation. You can replant a flower brought from a store in winter without fear, since such a plant, as a rule, is in the growing season and flowering.

It is carried out according to the following scheme:

1. Water the rose generously, wait until the soil is saturated with moisture.
2. Turn the flower pot over and shake a little, holding the plant with your hand.
3. At the bottom of the new container, which must have holes for water drainage, place a layer of expanded clay one centimeter high.
4. The soil must be nutritious. The optimal composition of the soil mixture is sand, humus and turf soil in a ratio of 1:4:4. You can use ready-made store-bought soil mixtures.
5. The rose is placed in a new pot and covered with soil so that there is a distance of two to three centimeters between the edge of the pot and the surface of the soil.
6. The transplanted crop should be placed in a dark place for a day and under no circumstances should it be watered immediately; you can only sprinkle the leaves a little.
7. After a day, the rose is moved to the east or south side.

Mistakes in winter care and dealing with their consequences

1. If due to too low temperatures the potted rose is frozen, you can revive it by transplanting it into a new container with nutrient soil, while removing all frostbitten shoots and leaves.
2. Abrupt change temperature regime or care conditions during dormancy can lead to flowering. In this case, you need to restore the previous microclimate and prune.
3. Excessive humidity invariably leads to rotting of the rose. A transplant with preliminary removal all rotten roots and subsequent compliance with watering norms.
4. If the plant has dried out due to poor watering, you need to remove all dead shoots so that a few centimeters remain from the trunk, then moisten the soil generously and cover the rose with a plastic dome so that new shoots can quickly form in conditions of high humidity.

Carelessness in picking a rose inevitably leads to problems. a plant is always more difficult than following care recommendations, so when growing a prickly beauty, you should rely primarily on monitoring the condition of the flower and maintaining optimal conditions for it.
