How to plant a newly bought rose
This article provides a core guide on how to plant a newly bought rose and knowledge about rose cultivation methods and related plant aspects. Let's explore together.
With the development of society and the improvement of economic standards, people's living conditions have also improved significantly. As life gets better, people have more time and energy to pursue their hobbies. Therefore, many people now grow potted flowers and green plants at home, and the number of flower enthusiasts is increasing. After all, who doesn't like beautiful flowers and greenery?
Talking about roses, I believe flower enthusiasts are not unfamiliar with them. They are flowers that can bloom throughout the four seasons and have large, bright flowers. As the weather gets hotter, it's time for roses to be in full bloom. In this beautiful season, growing a pot of roses is really nice. Many flower enthusiasts now buy roses online. Today, let's share how to pot a new rose to make it bloom continuously and achieve 300 blooms at once. Let's take a look at the sharing topic!
For a newly bought rose, doing one extra thing before potting can make it grow faster, produce more new buds, and bloom 300 flowers at once
Soak in rooting powder before potting
Usually, the roses we buy, especially those purchased online, are leafless and have only one main root with very few fibrous roots. Therefore, to make our new roses grow quickly after potting, it's best to soak them in rooting water for more than 10 hours first, then take them out, dry them, and plant them. This will help the roses grow new roots quickly, and the new buds will also grow fast.
Specifically:
Cut off the decayed roots and branches of the newly bought rose, let the wounds dry naturally, and then soak them in the water with rooting powder. Generally, soak for more than 10 hours to allow the rose to absorb more nutrients to promote quick rooting and sprouting.
Let's discuss the basic care in detail:
1. Potting Soil
The potting soil for rose care should be loose and well-draining loamy sand. You can use 30% loamy soil, 30% river sand, 20% garden soil, 10% perlite, and 10% organic fertilizer (such as chicken manure or decomposed soybean dregs). It's best to add some insecticide and a small spoon of carbendazim to make the soil loose, nutrient-rich, and free of pests and diseases to meet the growth needs of the rose.
After potting, place it in a place with scattered light and good ventilation. After 7-10 days of care, when the rose is adapted to the pot, move it to a sunny place for care.

2. Light
Roses are sun-loving flowers and can only bloom continuously with sufficient light. To care for roses at home, we need to place them in a bright, well-ventilated area. Only with sufficient light and good ventilation can roses have fewer diseases and pests and bloom more, with large and bright flowers.
3. Fertilizing
Although we have already applied a certain amount of base fertilizer, roses have a long blooming period and a large number of flowers, so it's necessary to apply thin fertilizers frequently. It is recommended to apply thin cake fertilizer twice a month, or you can directly use flowering and slow-release fertilizers, both of which work well.
4. Pruning
If you want the rose to bloom more, pruning is essential. Rose pruning is generally done in summer and autumn. When it's late autumn and early winter (northern flower enthusiasts usually prune at this time, while southern flower enthusiasts can prune a bit later depending on local temperatures to ensure more blooms next year), the method is to cut off most of the branches, leaving only the main branches 5-6 centimeters long. This way, when the rose enters winter dormancy, it can reduce nutrient consumption and grow many new buds in spring, leading to more blooms.
