Proper planting of a hybrid tea rose

Let's look at the right technology for planting a hybrid tea rose Kerio, including the selection of seedlings and planting pattern.

Selection and preparation of seedlings

When buying seedlings choose carefully. The root system must be closed, and the aboveground part is well developed. By the way, the purchase of planting material is recommended to make at the end of March or in April.

Before planting, seedlings should be placed in water, for about 4-6 hours. Healthy shoots are best pruned, and damaged and weak ones should be removed. This ensures that the plant grows faster.

Pit and landing pattern

The best time for planting will be the beginning of May, when the soil is already warm enough. The depth of the landing holes should be 45-55 cm, and the distance between them is 40 cm.Make sure that the roots of the plant are located freely.

The soil should be well hydrated and filled with a nutrient soil mixture, which may include manure, sand, peat and fertile soil layer. This mixture can be purchased at a specialty store or from those who are engaged in the cultivation of roses. It is also necessary to make a drainage of sand and gravel, as the stagnation of water can harm the plant. While planting in the soil, the root neck should not be deeply buried. After planting, the rose should be watered well and shaded for two weeks. Sawdust will be suitable for this purpose.

Proper care of the variety

Proper plant care is another important point for growing beautiful, healthy roses.

Watering and soil care

Excessive moisture for roses is destructive, so they should be watered no more than 3 times a week.Also note that the bush must be watered in the summer and early fall. In the remaining periods of moisture should be enough for shrubs for good development.

If, for example, it has recently rained on your plot, then watering is not required. And if there was no rain for a long time and the earth is dry, then the number of waterings should be increased.

The water you irrigate also matters. It is impossible to immediately water the plant with water from a tap or from a well, it is necessary to sustain it during the day and only then water it. Water temperature should be around 16 ° C. A stream of water should be sent directly to the ground, and not to the bush itself and flowers. In late summer, the frequency of watering is recommended to reduce to prepare the plant for the winter.

Top dressing

Without additional feeding, this hybrid tea will not grow as needed and bloom irregularly. That is why it is imperative to fertilize the land. For these purposes, suitable mineral fertilizers or manure.

In the spring, before planting, experts recommend fertilizing the soil with nitrogen fertilizers. And before flowering in a couple of weeks, potash phosphate fertilizer can be added to the soil.

If you decide to use manure as a fertilizer, then below are recommendations for its proper use:

1. Create special furrows for fertilizer at a distance of 30 cm from the plant.
2. Dilute the fertilizer with water and place in the furrows.
3. After that, fill the fertilizer with water again and cover it with earth.
4. After a day you need to loosen the ground.

It often happens that a hybrid rose blooms well without additional feeding, but no one is 100% sure of this and it will be better to create more favorable conditions for the plant. Although the plant has good frost resistance, it is better to cover it for the winter, for this you can use a film or peat.
