How to care for Chinese roses when it gets cold
In winter, how is the best way to care for Chinese roses? Winter has a significant impact on Chinese roses. If you can care for them well during winter, will the Chinese roses bloom profusely in spring? How exactly to care for them?
Firstly, control the watering. Why control the watering? The purpose is to allow the nutrients to be drawn back into the main roots, which will grow well. When the roots grow well, the Chinese roses will have a burst of flowers in the spring of the following year. How to control this water? There are two methods. The first one is to look at the leaves of the Chinese roses; as long as the leaves are not wilted, do not water them. This way of controlling the water will make the main roots grow very well.
The second method is to use tools to determine the water content, which can control the water more accurately. Use a plant moisture meter, insert it into the soil, then connect it to your phone, and through the data feedback on the phone, you can know how much water is in the soil. When it is below 10%, you can water it. It is very simple to determine the water content and the operation is also simple.
Secondly, fertilizing. Some friends think that fertilizing is not necessary in winter, which is just an old view. Because many fertilizers used to be solid fertilizers, which are not only difficult to absorb but also difficult to control the concentration. Chinese roses have a lower absorption rate in winter, and using old solid fertilizers may not have a good effect and may even inhibit growth. Now it is different, applying a compound organic liquid fertilizer to Chinese roses is easy to absorb, with fast absorption rate and high efficiency.
Why use compound organic liquid fertilizer for Chinese roses? Of course, it is to promote root growth, which has a very good effect on strengthening the roots. The purpose of this is to nurture the main roots well, so that when spring comes, the Chinese roses can have a burst of flowers. There is no need to apply the liquid fertilizer too frequently, once or twice a month is sufficient, and the nutrition is enough.
Thirdly, pruning. Pruning depends on timing. If the Chinese roses are still in the growing stage, do not prune them. If you cut off the withered flowers and leaves at this time, it will promote the growth of lateral buds, which will continuously consume nutrients, and it will not be conducive to nurturing the main roots. When should pruning be done? The best time is in deep winter, when the Chinese roses have completely entered the dormant stage. Pruning at this time will allow them to grow rapidly once spring arrives, with new leaves and flower buds popping up.
These three points are the experience in caring for Chinese roses in winter. By following these methods, the Chinese roses will bloom burstingly in spring, with a very strong flower display.
That's all about how to care for Chinese roses when it gets cold. I hope this article can bring you some help in green plant management!
