Rose Transplanting Time
The web introduces you to the related knowledge of roses and Chinese roses, the transplanting time of roses. The following editor will give you a detailed answer.
It is inevitable to encounter the need for transplanting when raising roses. Some rose enthusiasts ask about the transplanting time of roses. Under normal circumstances, the best time for transplanting roses is from late autumn after defoliation and dormancy to the early spring before the plants begin to sprout. It is most suitable to choose cool and humid weather for transplanting.
Of course, this time is not fixed, and it is not impossible to transplant in summer. If you need to transplant in summer, it is best to do so in the early morning or evening or on cloudy days. Let's understand the precautions for transplanting roses in reverse seasons.
Water the roses thoroughly three days before transplanting to facilitate digging and retaining the soil ball. The transplanted roses must be pruned, leaving only 3 to 4 branches per plant, and the rest should be removed from the base. The remaining branches should also be pruned heavily, with the height controlled at around 20 centimeters. For plants with vigorous growth, they can be left longer but not exceed 30 centimeters. Half of the leaves on the retained branches should also be cut. It should be noted that when pruning, attention should be paid to two issues: First, the cut must be smooth to minimize tearing, and second, for shorter roses, flower buds must not be retained.
Raising seedlings should be done in the early morning, and the plants should be transplanted with as much soil as possible. If the roses are planted in the ground, one person can dig with a spade while another follows closely to hold the soil ball, which should be about 15 centimeters in diameter, slightly smaller for densely planted ones. Large roots exposed outside the soil ball should be cut immediately, and after the soil ball is held, it should be promptly placed in a non-woven bag to prevent breakage. Then plant as soon as possible without delay. The planting depth should be the same as the original depth. Too shallow will cause the roots to be exposed when the soil cracks, leading to root water loss, while too deep will affect the roots' respiration. After planting, water thoroughly, water again in the evening of the second day, and water for the third time in the morning of the fifth day. After that, water as usual. After planting, spray the plant with a 50% carbendazim wettable powder solution diluted 800 times to prevent powdery mildew and black spot disease.
Care for Roses After Transplanting
1. Watering: After the third watering, water according to the weather conditions. More water should be added during high temperatures and dry weather, while watering can be delayed on cloudy days. Additionally, during high temperatures and dry weather, it is advisable to spray early and late to effectively supplement water for the plants and increase the humidity of the microenvironment, which is beneficial for root growth. Of course, be sure to drain excess water during rainy days to prevent waterlogging.
2. Shading: In summer, high temperatures and strong sunlight can be reduced by shading, which can effectively reduce the transpiration of the plants and protect them from direct sunlight. Shading can continue until the end of August.
3. Diseases and Pests: Summer is the season when roses are prone to diseases and pests. Transplanted seedlings often suffer root damage and weakened growth, making them more susceptible to pests. The main diseases of roses are black spot and powdery mildew, which can be prevented by spraying a 50% carbendazim wettable powder solution diluted 800 times every 15 days after transplanting, stopping in mid-September. It is important to note that the spraying should be separated from the spraying, otherwise the control effect may be weakened. The main pests of roses include leaf-cutting bees, red spiders, scale insects, and aphids. When the number is small, they can be manually removed, and when the number is large, 40% mitacycin EEC can be sprayed 1500 times to kill red spiders, and 40% omethoate EEC can be sprayed 1000 times to kill leaf-cutting bees, aphids, and scale insects.
4. Pruning: The main pruning after transplanting is to remove the flower buds from the top of the new branches. Generally, there is no need for further shortening or thinning. Although roses are in a semi-dormant state in July and August, flower buds can gradually form after mid-August. At this time, it is necessary to remove the flower buds because the roses are in a recovery state, and flowering will consume a lot of nutrients, which is not conducive to plant growth. However, flower buds around "National Day" in autumn can be retained, but not too many, with a maximum of one flower bud per branch.
5. Fertilization: In addition to applying a base fertilizer when transplanting seedlings, no other fertilizers should be used. If the aim is to admire flowers for "National Day," a phosphorus-potassium fertilizer can be applied during the bud formation stage, but the amount should not be too large. Before winter, another application of decomposed sesame paste residue can be used as a base fertilizer in combination with winter watering.
