1. First, choose the right location to plant roses
No matter where the ground roses are planted, it is important to choose the right location. Do not plant them in overly shaded areas as insufficient light will certainly affect their growth. The cultivation site should be in a sunny, well-ventilated, and well-drained area, and the soil should be fertile and deep, preferably sandy soil.
When planting, also pay attention to planting density and distance. If it's a cutting of roses, even if it's a small rose plant, the distance between two plants should not be too close, about 20 centimeters apart. If planted in a single row, a two-year-old vigorous plant, larger plants, should maintain a distance of 50 centimeters between two plants. For large rose plants over three years old, it's best to keep a distance of one meter. Do not plant too dense, as it may affect nutrient absorption, insufficient light, and poor ventilation.

2. Roses love fertilizer, so fertilize regularly
This is also true for ground roses, especially in winter. Not only should we remove weeds in time, but in winter, we can also spread some organic fertilizers, such as decomposed fertilizers or bury some fertile pond mud. You can also add some sheep manure or cow dung, as long as it's fully fermented organic fertilizer. Additionally, during the vigorous growth period of roses, it is also necessary to apply top dressing frequently with some fast-acting fertilizers. When they are blooming and after the flowering period, supplement with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. In the hot and dry season, in summer, either stop fertilizing or apply a light fertilizer.
3. Pruning ground roses is also very important
Roses can also be pruned during regular times, removing some withered flowers and extra flower buds. However, the main pruning is divided into summer pruning and winter pruning. To make the plant shape more beautiful, some overly long branches can be cut to half their length. When pruning, cut at a 45-degree angle one centimeter above the leaf. During pruning, remove some old branches, withered branches, and weak branches.
