The best place
In the process of creating a rosary, consistency is important. After you have decided that you want to grow roses in your garden, you need to find the optimal place.
Lighting and wind protection
It is preferable to choose a site that is protected from the wind. It should be sunny. Well, if during the hottest period of the day the rosary will be a bit in the shade.
The soil
The soil should be drained, light and fertile. Avoid wetlands and those that are constantly in the shade.If you have not very suitable soil, then you can prepare it in advance - dig the site, focusing on a depth of 60 cm, and apply fertilizer.
The scheme and plan for the future of the rose garden
Ways to design a beautiful bed of roses are great. In order to successfully beat the rose garden, it is important that it fits into the overall style of the garden - both color and color, as well as many other factors play a role. Therefore, the next step is planning.
It is important to determine what size the plot you are going to take under the rose garden and where it will be located. Then you should understand what color of roses you want to plant. Traditionally, there are 2 options for registration. The rosaries at your summer cottage can be delicate shades (beige, pink) or bright and rich (yellow, red), but there is a great variety of combinations, so we attach photos of some schemes.
The schemes of rose gardens are very diverse, and, depending on them and the chosen color scale, the varieties of flowers are chosen.Also, do not forget about the design of the side walls, if necessary.
After all, the lower part of plants does not always have an aesthetic appearance. Alternatively, instead of the side, the rose garden can be shaped using low-growing varieties.
Choosing a rose
It is necessary to approach the choice of grades of roses especially carefully. Some flower growers make the mistake of choosing flowers only from the catalog. With such a choice, there is a risk that in the end you will get a completely different rosary that was conceived, and the overall composition will be clumsy and motley.
Undersized
They densely cover the earth, can hide shortcomings - the hatch is not in the most successful place, stony sites. Even such varieties can be beautifully decorated slopes. Some species grow strongly, and they establish supports for them to grow upwards.
These roses are not too whimsical, grow, even if there are any mistakes in the care. Bloom until the fall. Very interesting varieties:
- "Rosa Helloy"
- "Sonnenchirm"

High
These roses are the most whimsical, and if you choose them for your rose garden, then the main concerns will be devoted to them. These are large flowers, about 90 cm tall, with large, strongly smelling buds. Tall roses are classic.
They can be planted in the form of a bush, and if desired - arrange in the stem tree. Since the flowers of tall roses are rarely located, it is better to beat them with other varieties or plants so that the final picture is complete.
Varieties will be a real decoration of the garden:
Not alone roses
Asking how to make a rosary with your own hands, you should not forget that there can be not only roses in it, the example in the photo below. Picking up plants in height and color, you can very successfully beat the roses, make the composition of your flower garden more complete, complete.
Classic English rose gardens use lavender, carnations, irises, catnies in tandem with roses.
Just see how elegant and neat the fence looks, along which the rose garden with lavender is arranged.
However, adding other plants to the rose garden, do not forget that roses should always be the main element of the composition.
General rules for planting and care
You always want the rose garden, grown in the country with its own hands, to be as gorgeous as in dreams or in the photo. And in order that he was so, it is important to monitor the health of the plants and properly care for them.
Rose is always the queen of the garden, and care for her is appropriate. But difficulties are not so difficult when there is a desire to make your garden special.
Selection of seedlings
A healthy seedling is more than half the guarantee of the future health of the rose garden. By choosing the right seedlings, you can significantly reduce the laboriousness of caring for plants, because they will be resistant to diseases and beautiful, which means that taking care of them will be reduced to a minimum.
Take care to buy better early - before the start of the planting season. Do it better in specialized places.
Saplings are on sale in 3 types: with open root system, with the closed root system (in pots or containers) and with the packed roots.
Landing
There are 2 ways of planting seedlings - in spring or autumn. In the spring, you can start only when the earth is already warm. This usually occurs in early May.
In the fall, planting lasts from mid-September to mid-October. It is important not to plant roses too soon or too late. With early planting, they can release young shoots that simply do not have time to get stronger and freeze to the onset of cold weather. A late planting is dangerous because the plant does not have time to take root.
The hole for the seedling must be of such a size that the root system is free. Often enough fossa 50 cm in width and depth.
If you plant roses with a closed root system, then you should not clean the roots from the ground.If the root system is open, then you need to cut the roots and leave them in water for a couple of hours.
Before planting, fill the hole with water and wait until it is absorbed. You also need to prepare a mixture of earth and compost - it will fill the hole with it. The root system of roses should not come into contact with the nutrient mixture, so before you fall asleep, you need to sprinkle the roots with ordinary earth. Then we make a slide so that the plant deepens by about another 5 cm into the ground. Loosen the soil can be no more than 15 cm.
After 2 weeks, the plant will take root, and the hill, which was made during planting, will need to be removed.
Care
Very important for roses is proper watering. It is necessary to water the flowers no more than once a week with the calculation of 1 bucket of water for 1 bush. Do not water the plants superficially; make sure the watering is deeper. This will prevent the formation of surface roots that are very easily damaged.
Also try not to fill the rose, so as not to deprive the plant of oxygen. Look for a middle ground in watering.
Do not forget about fertilizer and when the roses are provided with regular watering.However, do not overdo it, because if the flowers overhang, they can bloom very poorly, but the greens will release a lot.
Also, the rosaries are very fond of fertilizer in the form of horse manure. Chicken or pork litter should not be used, as it is too sour and just burn the whole rosary.
You can make and mineral fertilizers. Especially good if they are dissolved. Make such dressing after irrigation is useful. Fertilizers should be stopped from the end of July, because by this time roses start preparing for cold weather.
The rosary needs care and in unfavorable weather. Plants can get stressed from long heat or cold, from prolonged rains. To maintain the rose garden, you can process the flowers with "Zircon" or "Epoxy". And in the spring, when the sun is just beginning to warm, it is better to protect the roses with a screen to give them the opportunity to adapt and avoid burns.
Do not forget about the regular pruning of roses, the removal of diseased leaves and shoots, and then your roses will thank you with their healthy and strong appearance.
Growing your own original and neat rose garden is no easy task. However, with a great desire, following certain rules, adhering to important tips, you can achieve amazing results. Your work will pay off a delightful view of well-kept flower beds, among which it is pleasant to spend summer days and evenings. Good luck!
