A home rose is a magnificent mini copy of a garden one. This beautiful flower very popular among indoor plant lovers. A rose that grows in a pot is a very capricious creature and for its fruitful flowering it will take maximum effort. But trust me it's worth it. A rose can decorate with its presence even the most unattractive interior of an apartment.

Houses should be grown only dwarf species this beautiful plant. The fact is that the garden rose has an extensive root system, which simply cannot fit, even in the largest pot.

Rosa loves light and fresh air very much, so the best place where she can feel good in the summer is a balcony. If it is not possible to keep an indoor rose on the balcony, then you should place it in a warm, well-ventilated area. It is necessary to water frequently, but moderately, without flooding or allowing the soil to dry out. IN winter period time, the rose should be watered less often and kept at a temperature of ten degrees. Fertilizers are applied only during the period of rapid growth, at least twice a month.

In order for the rose to bloom as long as possible, it needs to create a certain temperature regime, which is closer to cool than warm. IN warm room you can achieve a long flowering plant, but for this it needs to be irrigated with sufficiently warm water every two days. A prerequisite for flowering roses is a room in which there is a lot of light.

A big role in health and rapid flowering home rose plays the correct watering of this plant in the summer. Watering is done in the morning and in the evening, but in no case not in the sun. The rose should be in moist soil almost constantly, but you should not allow waterlogging of the soil.

The soil-soil must be very nutritious and saturated.

Off-topic question ... Question on cottages

We are constantly getting letters in which amateur gardeners are worried that due to the cold summer this year, a poor harvest of potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, and other vegetables. Last year we published TIPS about this. But unfortunately, many did not listen, but some still applied. Here is a report from our reader, we want to advise plant growth biostimulantswhich will help increase the yield by up to 50-70%.

It is good to take the soil for planting in the place where nettle thickets rage. Nettle does not grow in poor soils, this is a well-known fact.

The rose is very often attacked by various kinds of pests. This and spider mite, and aphids, and rose sawfly.

Aphids are washed off with a common solution soapy water, and this should not be a one-time treatment, it is desirable to carry it out once a week.

Spider mites and other pests can be killed with garlic. To do this, take fifty grams of crushed garlic and pour it over cold water 200 gr. When infused, for 15 minutes, strain, bring the volume to one liter. When processing, one and a half glasses of infusion are taken for ten liters of water, and in cloudy weather the room rose is washed with this solution. But you can buy the drug "Fitoverm" in the store, which you need to spray for at least a week within a month.

Transfer

In order for the home rose to bloom violently in the spring, the transplant must be carried out already in August, this will allow the roots to adapt and take root well. Otherwise, the rose will take root during the entire period of rapid growth and will bloom only by autumn. When transplanting a plant, you should try not to destroy the earthen lump, since the rose is very sensitive to damage to the roots and then gets sick for a long time.

An indoor rose should be planted in small flowerpots, since with an excess of space in a flowerpot, the rose will give a lot of greenery and rarely bloom.

pruning

This is an indispensable part of caring for a room rose. If you neglect pruning, the plant will be weak. With thin long branches and small rare flowers. Answering the question "when is the main pruning done", usually in early spring until the rapid growth of the plant has begun.

Some flower growers who are closely engaged in breeding room rose, they want to achieve from her not only long flowering, but also large buds if possible. Pruning is carried out during the entire flowering period, removing newly grown shoots and leaving three or five buds on the main shoots.

Cut off the home beauty for good flowering and decoration of a bush of a beautiful shape.
In order to properly trim you need to know:

• First, all weak and underdeveloped stems are removed. As well as branches that are intertwined.
• No more than five strong shoots, of medium length, should be left on the bush.
• If the shoots are long, then they need to be shortened, leaving six live buds.
• If the sprouts are long, but not very developed, then five buds are left for further growth and development.
• When weak shoots appear, it is advisable to remove them, but if this is not possible, then three buds are left on them.

Caring for a beautiful but capricious plant

It is important that sharp tools are suitable for pruning, which will not leave a hitch on the shoot of the plant. The fact is that when trimming with blunt tools, torn edges are obtained at the place of trimming, and this is fraught with the development of various diseases and decay of the cut edge. Pruning should be carried out strictly at an angle of forty-five degrees, just above the living kidney.

In order to prevent new shoots from stretching out, the flower after pruning should be placed in a cool room and only after the first leaves appear, put on a sunny window for further growth. Small shoots that will appear during the period of violent growth are removed immediately so that all the forces of the plant go to the formation of beautiful buds on the main shoots.

After the first flowering of the room beauty, it is necessary to re-pruning so that the plant does not give strength to the growth of greenery, and after a while it can bloom again. All faded buds and small shoots are cut off, leaving three or five buds on the main layers.

If you follow all the rules of maintenance and cut it properly, then it will delight you with its flowering until the end of summer.

How to prune a house rose in a pot

How to prune a house rose in a pot? This question sooner or later arises even among those who have just begun to get involved in indoor roses. In a flower shop, we get a beautifully formed bush or stem tree, but over time, the rose grows and loses its shape. Don't get upset if this happens. Restoring the shape of a flower with pruning is not at all difficult.

If the rose is not cut off, the rose grows, which spoils its shape.

Why else do you need to prune a home rose?

Pruning rose bushes is an operation of paramount importance, it gives the plant a harmonious and graceful look, guarantees beautiful bloom every year, helps to avoid weaving and tangling of branches, as well as getting rid of overgrown, frail or dead branches that are prone to diseases and pests.

On young rose bushes, it is useful to do the so-called sanitary pruning, best of all in spring or autumn, although theoretically it is possible at any time of the year. Sanitary pruning will allow you to get rid of not only dead or damaged branches, but also from too weak shoots that are cut just above the main branch.

Weak or strongly interfering processes are usually cut off.

Shaping pruning helps maintain or give desired shape ornamental plants. Rejuvenating pruning, which is done at intervals of several years, is intended to restore vitality to the bushes of a house rose, which have become too tall and thick over time.

Usually such pruning is done in late winter or early spring. All weak branches are removed, and the remaining branches are shortened.

Pruning roses is necessary not only to give the rose beautiful view but also to improve flowering. By cutting off the excess parts of the branches, we provoke the appearance of new buds.

In roses, pruning is done mainly to remove old and weak parts of the bush in order to rejuvenate it, stimulate new flowering, and make the plant less susceptible to pests.

Types of pruning home roses

1. Restraining pruning - needed to give the bush the appropriate size.
2. Promoting pruning - to encourage flowering.
3. Formative pruning - necessary to give rose bushes the desired shape.
4. Apical pruning - done in plants to stimulate the growth of a rose bush in breadth.
5. Anti-aging pruning - removal of old branches to rejuvenate the bush.

How to trim?

The cut should be oblique with respect to the kidney and be at a certain distance from it. The optimal distance between the kidney and the cut is about 1 cm. It should not be too sharp (45 degrees is better) and is done in the opposite direction from the kidney. And the last thing: the tool must be well sharpened, then the cut will be clean, without burrs, which often contribute to the reproduction of pathogenic organisms.

You need to remove all dead, damaged and tangled branches that interfere with the development of the middle part of the bush. Full pruning involves cutting back all branches to encourage flowering and give the plant the desired shape and size.

Be sure to remove all wilted flowers. The fact is that the energy that the plant spends on withered flowers is not used to give birth to new flowers.

Time to prune indoor roses

Pruning is one of the most important rose care practices. It is equally important to choose the right time for pruning. There are three ways to trim:

• short (spring) - remove branches affected by dry air and pests, and shorten healthy branches, which stimulates lush flowering;
• medium (summer);
• long (autumn) apical pruning - remove wilted flowers and stimulate secondary flowering in some varieties.

Winter pruning is done in February-March, when new buds begin to swell on rose bushes. It is very important that the pruning is done before the buds begin to open; if pruned later, it will damage the plant.

Summer apical pruning is done in early August and only for roses that bloom several times a year to stimulate new flowering.

Plants should be pruned whenever possible when the room is not too hot. It is better if the room is cool. At low temperatures the flow of vital juices in the tissues of the plant slows down, and the damage caused by injury will be minimal.

It is not for nothing that the rose is called the queen of flowers, because it pleasantly pleases the eye with lush bright inflorescences. At the same time, it is quite demanding on growing conditions. Rose care includes not only growing flowers in the garden, but also at home. Indoor roses, like garden varieties, require attention: regular watering, fertilizing and loosening the soil.

From this article you will learn how to properly care for different types of roses in the garden and in a city apartment, and photos and videos will help you quickly master the necessary skills.

Indoor rose: home care

Indoor roses are considered quite whimsical crops, and all measures to care for them should be taken responsibly. First, they need regular feeding and watering. Secondly, they need good lighting, but without the influence of direct sun rays.

In addition, home culture care includes regular transplanting. Since this plant is quite actively developing, the flower needs to be transplanted into larger pots as it grows.

Peculiarities

If you know how to properly care for room culture, and what features should be considered when growing, you can decorate your home with a lush and beautiful plant.

The main feature of indoor varieties is that they react negatively to sudden temperature fluctuations (Figure 1). In summer, the room should not be too hot, and in winter it is advisable to protect the plant from drafts. In addition, the plant will react negatively to cold water when watering.

After flowering, remove all dry flowers and buds. They have no decorative value, but they take away the juices necessary for growth from the plant. Great care must be taken when transplanting, as the roots of the plant are very sensitive and easily injured.

Basic Rules

If you bought an indoor rose, try to provide her good care at home. You do not need to immediately transplant it into new pot. The plant needs to adapt to a new home, so at first it is better for a flower to grow in an old pot.

Note: In order for the culture to quickly get used to a new place, it is better to put it on the south or southeast window sill.

Plants are responsive to spraying, so in the evening you can moisten the leaves of the plant with boiled water at room temperature. But in hot summer, such a procedure should be carried out with caution so as not to cause leaf burns.

Another obligatory step in care is top dressing. You can use a liquid solution of mullein for this purpose. During the flowering period, fertilizer is applied weekly, and at other times - once every two weeks.

Problems

The main problems in growing are related to the fact that this culture is quite demanding on the conditions of detention. For example, if a flower does not receive enough sunlight, it will stop growing and flowering. Therefore, you should try to put the pot in well-lit places, but exposure to direct sunlight should be moderate.

In addition, indoor roses are often exposed to diseases and pests. These flowers are often infected powdery mildew. To combat the disease, spraying with a soda solution (two teaspoons of soda per liter of water) is carried out. Spraying should be carried out very carefully so that the solution does not get on the soil. During processing, it is better to cover the soil. Also, a spider mite often settles on them, to combat which they use special preparations- acaricides.

pruning

The flowering of indoor varieties largely depends on how regularly pruning will be done (Figure 2).

All diseased, dry or damaged branches and shoots are removed immediately. If they dried up due to illness, you can prevent the spread of the disease, and if the cause is not proper care- the plant will receive more nutrients for normal development.

After flowering is completed, all wilted buds and inflorescences are also removed. They take from the plant nutrients needed to recover from an active growing season.

Caring for roses in the spring in the country

For long-term flowering, plants need proper care: regular pruning and top dressing, removal of wild growth from grafted plants, mulching and prevention against pests and diseases. One-year-old plants are especially carefully looked after, as this will later affect the quality of the flower.

Young seedlings must be formed so that in the future the bush is symmetrical. To do this, pinching is carried out after the appearance of the fourth sheet. In addition, in the first year after planting the bush, cut off all the buds as soon as they reach the size of a pea. This stimulates the formation of new stems and makes the bush symmetrical. In August, the formation is stopped and the bush is given the opportunity to bloom. Figure 3 shows the basic guidelines for pruning bushes.

Note: Without pinching the shoots and buds, the plant will bloom. This will weaken it and the bush will not grow well.

Pinching is not carried out on climbing, semi-climbing, ground cover and park varieties. However, this procedure is also necessary for adult cultures to limit growth. In order for the bush to bloom beautifully, young shoots must be cut off, drowning out the central part of the bush.

Pruning is also an important step. Unlike wild, garden varieties, this procedure is carried out annually to stimulate growth and more. abundant flowering.

There are several types of pruning:

• Spring (main) helps to properly form a bush, stimulates abundant flowering and the formation of young shoots.
• Summer performs the function of regulating flowering. In varieties that produce buds several times, after the first flowering period, all inflorescences are removed along with the upper part of the stem. The cut is made over the second or third leaf with a well-developed bud. This saves juices and stimulates the formation of new shoots and leaves. summer pruning do not carry out only for those varieties that bloom once and form beautiful fruits, or for those from which it is planned to collect seeds. In summer, extra stems are also cut off, drowning out the central part of the bush. During the last flowering, wilted buds are not removed, as this may cause unwanted autumn growth.
• autumn do just before shelter for the winter. Remove all leaves, fruits and buds, and cut out all weak and diseased shoots.

In addition, there is a weak, medium and strong pruning. Relevant examples are shown in Figure 4. After winter, the flowers are re-examined and all dead parts are removed. After that, the main pruning begins. For this:

1. Choose 4-5 strong and healthy shoots arranged symmetrically. All weak, subtle and muting are removed. The remaining branches are slightly shortened.
2. Plants with flower buds located at the top of the stems are not pruned.
3. For park species, only old and diseased stems are removed, and for climbing species, all shoots are removed, except for 5-6 annuals. But if there are too few of them, you can leave some of the old ones, shortening them by about half.
4. Tea-hybrid and polyanthus are pruned heavily, leaving only 3-4 buds at the bottom.

Those plants that have not tolerated wintering well also need strong pruning. In general, the intensity depends on the variety and the strength of the growth of the bush.

For pruning, use only sharp secateurs. If the tool is blunt, it will crush and tear the stems. An infection can get into an uneven cut and the flower will die. The cut should be at an angle so that water flows from it, since stagnant liquid can become a focus for the development of infection. Before pruning, the tools are disinfected in a warm solution of potassium permanganate, and the cut is treated with garden pitch.

In grafted plants, wild shoots sometimes appear below the grafting site. You can identify it by the thorns and smaller leaves. Such shoots must be removed, as they can lead to the death of the plant. To do this, dig a little earth around the bush and remove the shoots at the level of the buds in the ground. If this is not done and pruned at ground level, wild buds will throw out several young shoots at once. General recommendations cropping are shown in the video.

In the spring, regular watering of the bushes begins. Young only planted seedlings are watered every two days, and already established ones - as the soil dries out (about once a week).

Note: The intensity of watering adult plants depends on the variety, weather and the ability of the soil to retain moisture.

It is especially important to regularly water during flowering and bud formation. If there is not enough liquid, the flowers will be small or begin to crumble. Do not use cold water in hot weather. From this, the roots lose their ability to absorb moisture and the plant experiences prolonged water starvation.

Note: It is advisable to water with melt or rain water, as it contains less mineral salts. In addition, these flowers tolerate rare but plentiful watering better. Frequent application of liquid in small quantities provokes the formation of superficial roots, which are easily damaged when loosening and weaken the plant.

To properly water the culture, make a small hole around the bush and surround it with an earthen roller. Outwardly, the hole resembles a bowl and prevents water from flowing out during irrigation. For watering one bush, 10 liters of water will be enough. However, in the fall, the amount of water is gradually reduced, and then completely stopped. It is important to ensure that the liquid does not get on the flowers and leaves. Besides watering the roses better in the morning(Figure 5). You will learn more recommendations for watering from the video.

After each watering, the soil around the bush is loosened to a depth of 5 cm. This allows not only to remove weeds, but also to provide better access of air and water to the roots. The earth is loosened carefully so as not to accidentally damage the roots.

Upon completion of loosening and watering the soil, it is necessary to carry out mulching.

During it, the soil around the cultivated bushes is covered with loose organic soil with a layer of no more than 8 cm. This manipulation has such positive features (Figure 6):

• Allows you to save and prevent the loss of moisture in the soil during summer droughts;
• The number of weeding and loosening is significantly reduced;
• Protects plants from drying out and overheating during hot and windy weather;
• Does not allow silting of the soil during heavy rains.

As mulch, you can use chopped tree bark, straw, compost, peat or rotted manure. All these substances not only protect the soil, but also saturate it with useful elements.

Note: The use of grass or sawdust is not recommended, as they may contain weed seeds and pathogens.

As a rule, mulching is carried out in April or May, but sometimes the soil can be covered with mulch in the fall, but before the ground has cooled. Before mulching, be sure to remove all weeds. After the mulch has dried, it is mixed with the topsoil and mulched again.

Roses respond very well to fertilizing. For example, you can use foliar fertilizers that are applied to the leaves by spraying. The positive effect is noticeable after a few hours. Thanks to the use of this fertilizer, the general appearance improves, and the flowers become larger.

In the first year after planting, there is no need for additional top dressing, provided that fertilizers were applied to the soil at planting. After pinching, it is desirable to add liquid organic fertilizers. In the future, they need to be fed annually. As a rule, mineral and organic fertilizers are applied alternately, 6-7 times a year.

Each element that is part of fertilizers has a positive effect:

• Nitrogen accelerates the growth of leaves and stems;
• Phosphorus accelerates flowering and strengthens the roots;
• Potassium improves the quality of buds and flowers;
• Magnesium, calcium and other micronutrients improve overall health.

Complete mineral fertilizer they bring it in in the spring, when they take shelter from the roses for the winter. In summer, both mineral and organic fertilizers are applied. This will have a positive effect on flowering. In late summer and early autumn, reduce the amount of nitrogen to slow down growth before the winter period of vegetative dormancy. Common types of fertilizers are shown in Figure 7.

Roses are delicate garden plants that do not tolerate frost well and need shelter for the winter.

Note: Park species are considered the most winter-hardy. They can not be covered, but only spud with a layer of earth 20 cm high.

To increase winter hardiness, reduce the amount of watering in the fall, and nitrogen fertilizers replaced by phosphorus and potassium. In rainy weather, drainage grooves are dug around the bushes to drain excess fluid which can damage the roots.

In order for roses to endure the winter well, with the onset of the first frosts, all young fragile shoots, buds and leaves are removed. If they are left, during the winter they will rot and become a source of disease. For additional prevention, the bushes are sprayed with a solution of Bordeaux mixture. Climbing and semi-climbing varieties are pinned to the ground, laying them on pine branches (Figure 8). Additionally, each bush is spudded to protect the roots from frost. Examples of shelters for roses are shown in Figure 9.

Note: Roses cover only after the onset of stable night frosts. Rare drops in temperature do not harm the bushes, but only increase their winter hardiness.

For high-quality shelter for the winter, an air-dry method is used:

• Above each plant, a wire or wooden frame about half a meter high;
• A layer of insulation (for example, roofing felt) is laid on top and on the side;
• The top is covered with a layer of polyethylene film.

In such a shelter, the plants will be reliably protected from the cold. The ends are left open and covered only after the temperature drops to minus 15 degrees.

It is possible to completely remove winter shelters only after the earth has completely warmed up and in the absence of night frosts. But it is impossible to open them too late, as the elevated temperature under the film can lead to the death of plants.

For better adaptation, the opening is carried out gradually:

• First, snow is removed from the film and drainage grooves are broken around the bushes to drain melt water;
• After that, they begin to make short-term ventilation, slightly opening the end parts in warm weather;
• Next, you should make a hole in the upper part of the shelter;
• When the earth is completely thawed, it is loosened.

After warming up the soil by 15-20 cm, they begin to gradually remove the shelter, opening first the ends, then the top and sides. So that roses do not receive sunburn, removal of shelter is best done on cloudy days or in the late afternoon.

Open bushes must be shaded, and rooting is carried out only after the final warming up of the earth. After that, weak and diseased stems are removed, and they are also sprayed with a solution of Bordeaux liquid for prevention.

How to care for a room rose in a pot

Hybrid tea, remontant and polyanthus varieties are commonly used as indoor roses. In fact, these are the same garden varieties, but smaller.

As with growing in the garden, roses that are kept at home need proper care: good lighting, regular watering and top dressing. In addition, it is necessary to maintain an optimal temperature and humidity regime (Figure 10).

The soil

The soil in which an indoor rose is grown should be nutritious, but not heavy. It is important that air is constantly supplied to the roots of the plant, so the soil in the pot must be regularly loosened.

If you plan to transplant a flower into a new container, it is better to buy a special soil for indoor roses. Such a substrate is balanced in terms of the main components, and does not contain pest larvae or pathogens.

Lighting

Indoor roses are very fond of sunlight. Therefore, they can be safely put on a well-lit southern windowsill. However, it should be borne in mind that in hot weather during the day you can not spray the leaves of the plant, as this can cause burns to delicate tissues.

In winter, the duration of daylight hours is artificially extended. To do this, lamps are installed near the flower. daylight and leave them on so that the daylight hours are at least 12 hours.

Temperature

Despite the love of good lighting, indoor varieties very sensitive to temperature. They do not like extreme heat and cold, therefore, in the room where the rose pot is located, it is necessary to maintain a moderate temperature (no more than +20 degrees).

During the dormant period, which lasts from October to February, the indicators are reduced to + 5 + 8 degrees. This is necessary so that the rose gets stronger and does not wake up ahead of time.

Air humidity

Along with temperature regime and exactingness to the soil, indoor roses are very responsive to air humidity. To do this, the leaves are sprayed with boiled water at room temperature (up to two times a day).

Spraying is carried out in the morning and in the evening so that the water that gets on the leaves does not cause burns. With special care, spraying is carried out in hot weather.

Chinese rose: home care

Chinese rose or hibiscus ornamental shrub With beautiful flowers different shades. Despite the fact that the inflorescences wither in just a few days, the bush constantly forms many new buds, so the shrub blooms almost continuously. However, this feature will only be relevant if the hibiscus has been provided with optimal care.

The value of hibiscus is that it is considered one of the most unpretentious crops for the home. The main stages of care include:

• Regular watering: it is necessary to ensure that the earth ball is always moderately moist. In summer, watering should be more intense, and in winter its frequency is reduced.
• Liquid should not stagnate near the roots, so a layer of drainage must be laid on the bottom of the pot.
• Support optimal level air humidity is provided by regular spraying. But you need to make sure that water does not get on the flower petals, otherwise they will begin to fall off.
• Top dressing is applied every ten days during the flowering period, and reduced at the end of summer.

An adult plant needs to regularly cut old branches so that new shoots form on the bush. Every autumn, the shoots are shortened by a third of the length so that the plant can better endure the winter.

Climbing roses: care and cultivation

Cultivation and proper care of climbing roses will help to get a strong and healthy plant, which will become a real decoration of the site.

Note: Thanks to flexible climbing stems and lush inflorescences, these varieties are often used to decorate fences, walls of buildings and arbors.

Care for climbing varieties includes a standard set of activities. Bushes need to be regularly watered and fed, as well as prevent diseases and pests. In addition, in the spring, all damaged and dry shoots are removed, and the bush is also slightly thinned out to provoke the growth of young shoots and the formation of flower buds.

The main feature of growing and caring for climbing varieties is the installation of supports (Figure 11). You can use both special metal structures and any materials at hand. Climbing roses planted near old trees will look spectacular, which will gradually become covered with stems and buds.

Stem rose: planting, care and photo

The stock rose is the scientific name for the common mallow, which is often planted along fences or against house walls. This plant does not grow well in any soil, but certain care, like others flower crops, the rose stem is still required (Figure 12).

During the flowering period, all wilted buds are removed from the stems, and the stems are shortened to a length of 30 cm. In addition, the stems must be tied to pegs, since when strong wind they may break. Watering mallow prefers moderate, but does not like acidic soils. If the soil on the site is fertile, fertilizing can be omitted. On poor soils, fertilizers are applied about a week before flowering. For the winter, the plant must be covered with dry leaves or spruce branches.

Floribunda rose: planting and care with a photo

Varieties of floribunda roses were bred by breeders. The plants are bushy, and the flowers are collected in large and medium-sized inflorescences.

Well-lit areas are most suitable for planting, but with light shade in the middle of the day. If the plant is intensively illuminated by the sun throughout the day, it will quickly fade. It is also not recommended to plant flowers in areas with strong drafts.

Flowers of this type are very sensitive to watering. The most intensive watering is carried out during the awakening of the kidneys and after the end of the first wave of flowering, when new shoots begin to form on the bushes. In spring, combined fertilizers are applied to the soil, which help the plant to wake up faster. In addition, the soil must be regularly loosened and freed from weeds. The earth circle around the bush can be covered with mulch, which will prevent the soil from drying out and stop the growth of weeds. Rejuvenating pruning is carried out annually to stimulate the growth of new shoots. Despite the resistance to cold weather, floribunda roses are recommended to cover for the winter.

Rose mini mix: home care

Mini mix roses are attractive because small sizes they are distinguished by long and abundant flowering, and the buds can be of a wide variety of shades (Figure 13).

Mini mix roses require fairly abundant watering, and the water should be separated and at room temperature. You can also spray the leaves with water at room temperature, and in winter you can completely replace watering with spraying.

In order for plants to bloom often and profusely, they need to provide good lighting. To do this, the flower is placed on the south or southeast window, and in winter the daylight hours are extended with fluorescent lamps.

Park roses: care and cultivation

Park times are most often grown on summer cottages. These are beautiful and relatively unpretentious flowers, which, however, require some care (Figure 14).

Note: It is necessary to plant park varieties at some distance from each other, so that the bushes can be conveniently maintained and sheltered for the winter.

Park varieties are watered quite intensively, especially in hot summers. However, care must be taken to ensure that the earthen ball does not dry out, but is not too wet. In addition, during the awakening of the kidneys, the plants are fed, and for the winter the branches are shortened and the bushes are covered with dry leaves or coniferous branches.

Tea rose: home care

Tea roses are resistant to adverse factors environment. However, this condition only applies to varieties that are cultivated in the garden. Cultures that are grown at home are very finicky and require careful care.

First, the room should have enough light and fresh air. For this, a room with windows facing southeast or southwest is best suited. If you put a flower on the south window, too intense lighting will lead to rapid drying and falling of the buds. Comfortable temperature is +20+25 degrees. It is also necessary to ensure regular watering: the ground should be moist, but not wet. Therefore, when planting such a crop in a pot, be sure to lay a layer of drainage on the bottom. In addition, indoor tea varieties are regularly sprayed with boiled water at room temperature, avoiding moisture on the flowers.

In room culture, varieties are commonly used roses from groups Bengal(or Chinese roses), floribunda And miniature. All these groups of roses tolerate pruning well. You can give the bushes any shape you wish, but this is done in several steps and even for several years. When shaping and pruning indoor roses, you need to pay attention to the following. Pruning times. Formative pruning is best done when the plant's growth buds swell in spring. But you can't focus on that alone. Pruning stimulates the formation of strong young shoots, the growth of which is possible only with sufficient nutrition and good light conditions. When carried out too early, when the daylight hours are short, the new shoots will be weak, thin, and the leaves small and pale. On such stems, abundant flowering should not be expected. Late pruning, when a new growth has appeared, leads to a waste of plant energy, slows down its development. For the growth of young shoots of roses in room culture, a day length of at least 10 hours is required. After each flowering, pruning of faded inflorescences and weak, small shoots growing inside the bush is carried out.

Pruning rules. For all groups and varieties of roses, including indoor ones, there are general rules pruning: Pruning is done only with sharp secateurs or a knife, since a torn cut formed from blunt tools can lead to the death of the entire shoot. The shoots are cut above the bud, which is located on outside(does not look inside the bush). Cut off the shoot as close to the kidney as possible. The cut should have a slight slope. Top part the cut should be above the kidney and above it by 0.5 cm. Bottom part the cut should be at the same level with the kidney or slightly above it, on the opposite side of the kidney. Shoots are always cut to healthy tissue. Completely cut out all dead and diseased stems. Cut completely all weak, thin and twisted branches. Completely remove the shoots of the “plug”, which lack the upper central bud. If two stems intersect, then one of them is removed.
