Growing conditions

If you decide to grow roses in your area, it is very important to consider some important points.

Site selection

The rose loves warmth and sunlight, so choose a well-lit area for landing. You can not plant a flower in the shade, but the sun should not illuminate the bush all day - it will be enough if sunlight receives a rose before dinner. It is also recommended to choose a windless place.

Better roses will grow if you plant them away from the trees - so the shrub will get more moisture and nutrients.

Soil requirements

In general, a rose can grow on any soil, but if you want to end up with beautiful and healthy flowers, it is recommended to plant compost or ash before planting.Also, after the bushes get stronger, it is recommended to make mineral fertilizers, but you should not use a large number of chemicals.

Planting and reproduction

There are several ways to grow a Dutch rose: saplings and cuttings. If you decide to use the first method, the landing should be done in the spring, after the ground warms up well and stable, warm weather is established. We recommend using the following recommendations:

• before planting it is necessary to prepare areas that should be placed in a well-lit, windless place;
• planting pits are being prepared, the distance between them is left depending on the variety;
• Before planting seedlings, it is necessary to remove damaged or dry shoots and roots from the site, as well as immerse the root system for 2-3 hours in a container with water.

You can also carry out reproduction, independently performing cuttings:

• cuttings are cut from the middle part of the stem.Their length should be 12-14 cm;
• 2-3 buds should be present on each of them;
• the upper cut is performed at a right angle, while it is necessary to retreat from the kidney 0.5 cm. The lower cut is performed at an acute angle;
• foliage is necessarily removed from the bottom of the cutting;
• foliage and thorns, located in the upper part, are shortened;
• The cuttings should be placed one day before planting in a growth-stimulating solution; when planting, it is worthwhile to deepen them only a few centimeters.

Planted cuttings need to be covered with a film and provide them with a temperature of 22-24 ° C. During the first two weeks, you must regularly spray the cuttings.

After rooting takes place, they are planted in open ground. Best of all, roses will grow in greenhouses, as they are not sufficiently adapted for wintering.
