How to keep roses safe during the winter
Everyone is familiar with roses, aren't they? When they bloom, the flowers are large and beautiful. Now it's the severe winter, which is a challenge for roses. How can we help them survive the winter?
1. Potted roses
As we all know, roses are divided into two types: potted and ground-planted. Let's talk about potted roses. In late autumn and early winter, roses need to be pruned, removing old, weak, sick, and disabled leaves to prevent unnecessary nutrient loss and ensure the whole plant has sufficient nutrients.
Before the first frost, roses should be moved from outdoors to indoors for maintenance. When newly moved indoors, roses need to be placed in a low-temperature area first to adapt, then moved to a warm, bright, and well-ventilated place for maintenance. One thing to note is that in winter, when the temperature is low, fertilizer should be applied only when the plant is preparing to grow and bloom again.
2. Ground-planted roses
Next, let's talk about ground-planted roses. Before the temperature drops, they also need to be pruned. After pruning, since they cannot be moved, we need to take measures to keep them warm. Near their roots, you can spread a 10 cm thick layer of compost, sawdust, leaves, etc., which can keep the temperature and reduce water evaporation.
This can also be used as fertilizer after the snow melts, adding nutrients to the roses, allowing them to have sufficient nutrition to survive the cold winter. Place stakes on the northwest sides to prevent cold winds from attacking.
