Guide on how to grow and care for roses

Roses are a symbol of love and beauty. Do you want to have your own beautiful rose garden?
1. Preparing to plant trees
– Choose a rose variety:

As you choose the type of rose to grow, spend some time researching the specifics of your growing area, then look for roses with the right characteristics.Hybrid black tea is a beautiful, colorful rose variety that often appears in bouquets at flower shops.
Floribunda roses are the most colorful of all the varieties. Each bush has many flowers, not just a single flower.
Grandiflora roses are kind of between hybrid tea roses and Floribunda roses, they grow quite tall with a few clusters of flowers on one stem.
Climbing roses can be bent to grow as long as vines along fences and walls.
Tiny rosettes are very small and have many branches, perfect for growing in pots.
Bush roses and landscape roses are two fairly hardy species, resistant to pests and diseases. They come in many colors, shapes and sizes.
Tree roses are roses that have long stems, making them look like a tree. They require a little more care than some other types of roses.


– Buy a persimmon tree with bare roots or grown in a pot:

Once you've chosen the type of rose you want to grow, decide what form you want to buy it in. Bare roots are those whose roots will be planted directly into the ground.

You can also buy small potted persimmons, and transplant them into the ground or another pot. Any of the above can be purchased in nurseries. Rare varieties of roses can be found online.

A potted persimmon can be left indoors during the winter, then taken outside when spring arrives.


Buy garden tools:

In addition to bare root or potted persimmons, you'll need a few other tools to start growing your flowers. Visit your local nursery or check out online retailers to purchase the following supplies:Pruning shears: Pruning roses keeps them healthy, promotes flowering, and keeps them in good shape. Scissors are essential tools for growing roses. Buy small scissors with curved edges and large pruning shears.

Garden gloves: Protect yourself from thorns with thick gloves.

Protective glovesFertilizer: Persimmon needs to be fertilized several times a season. You can buy fertilizer specifically for persimmons, but this is not strictly necessary.
Humus: Mulching the base of the tree can help repel pests and provide more nutrients to the plant. Get wood chips, pine needles, peat, or another mulch suitable for your area.
Compost or persimmon potting mix: Mixing it with the soil when you plant your flowers will help them grow.
Shovels and Hoes: You will need them to dig holes when planting flowers.

2. Planting roses
Step 1 : Choose a flower pot .

You'll need a pot that's sunbathing for at least 6 hours a day. Choose a flower pot that does not have too many roots or branches of other plants in the way. The soil must be loose and have good drainage; If your soil has a lot of clay, loosen it up and add a few limestone blocks before planting.Persimmon grows best when the soil has a pH of 6.3-6.8.
To determine if the planting area is well drained, walk around the area after a heavy rain. If the soil is moist, but not waterlogged, it's a good place to plant. If you see large puddles or piles of mud, you need to look elsewhere or renovate the site to make it more suitable for growing flowers.


Step 2 : Water the plants to prepare for planting.

If you grow bare-root plants, soak them in a bucket of water for a few hours before planting. If you grow a potted plant, water it thoroughly before preparing the bed.


Step 3 : Dig a large hole .

You will need to dig each hole for a flower bush you will plant. Use a hoe or garden shovel to dig a hole 45.7 cm wide and 45.7 cm deep. This size doesn't have to be exact, but a wide and deep pit will fit most persimmons. Mix the soil you just dug with compost, and use some to build a small mound in the bottom of the hole. Add some fertilizer. If you plant more than one bush, leave the distance between the bushes a few dozen centimeters, so the roots have room to grow and grow.


Step 4: Plant flowers.

Place the flower plant on top of the mound. Use the shovel to fill the hole with soil. The buds should be about 5.1 cm below the ground. If you live in a colder climate, you may have to plant your plants deeper to protect them from low temperatures.If you buy the plant in a pot, loosen the soil around the roots to expose the roots before planting in the hole.
Tighten the soil around the roots, pressing by hand to remove air pockets.


Step 5: Watering .

Thoroughly watering the area you just planted will help tighten the soil around the roots, keeping the plant in place. Make sure you water the plant fully immediately after planting.


Step 6 : Add humus to the rose bed .

Pour humus over the area where you just planted persimmons. If you are only growing a flower bush in a pot, sprinkle humus around the base of the plant. It will keep the temperature stable and protect the persimmon throughout the early growing stages.


3. Rose care
Watering flowers regularly in summer:

Roses need a lot of water to grow healthy. Don't let the soil dry out, when you see the plant catching a lot of dust, flush it vigorously. For plants that are already established, and depending on your region, you will need to do this once a week.


- Fertilizing flowers:

Once the plants are established, they must be fertilized several times each growing season. Use a fertilizer (liquid or granular) in early spring, when you see the first new leaves emerge. Fertilize again after the first flowering period, and again if the flower blooms again. Stop fertilizing at the end of summer.Some fertilizers break down slowly, so you don't have to apply them as often.
Do not over-fertilize the plant, this can give rise to pests.


- Pruning trees:

Pruning keeps the tree beautiful and healthy. The purpose of pruning is to clear dense and crowded areas of foliage to give the plant room to grow, helping to prevent rotting and pests.

The pruning strategy varies depending on the season, but the pruning is always the same: cut just above the bud eye, where the branches form. They look like small nodules and are usually located on a mature foliage. Let's cut the skewer down to look outside the bud's eye.It is difficult to over-prune the rose bush because new branch growth is always the next bud. Be aware that when you choose which bud to cut, it will affect the shape of your rosebush. Remember that the key point is to prune in a direction that widens the flower bush to allow air circulation.
In late winter or early spring, remove any dead branches. Cut off the rhizomes, also known as suckers, which are the small branches of the main plant that suck up the plant's nutrients. Leave about 8 branches, cutting off 1/3 of their height. This will promote healthy growth as the weather warms up.
In the summer, cut away wilted flowers, which are dead flowers. This stimulates the plant to bloom new flowers.


4. Protect flowers against weather and disease
- Protect flowers in winter:

Tall persimmon trees can be damaged by strong winds and winter frosts. Prune the branches down to 0.6 m. Tie them together with twine to help protect them from inclement weather. Pile compost around the base of the tree, then cover it with a layer of straw. When the weather warms above 51 degrees, discard the compost.


– Spray aphids and red spiders with water:

These aphids are quite common in most varieties of persimmons. Using water is the most effective way to remove them from plants. Use the hose to spray them off the tree when you see them on the tree. Adequate watering also helps to reduce pest infestation.Use pesticides sparingly. They can damage roses and other plants in your garden, and kill off insects that are actually beneficial to plants.
Remove faded and shriveled leaves.
If aphids continue to be a problem, try mixing a solution of dishwashing liquid with water and spraying on the affected leaves once a week.
You can buy a natural insecticide rosemary essential oil to spray on the leaves, this will prevent aphids and not harm beneficial insects.


Protect your roses from black spot and powdery mildew:

Choosing roses that are resistant to common diseases, such as knockout roses, is the way to go. You can also protect flowers by using a fungicide early in the season. Visit your local nursery to ask about the best way to protect your plants from these diseases.
