Still buying such climbing roses?
The editor introduces the introduction of green plants and flowers about "still buying such climbing roses", which is very good experience and knowledge. It is recommended to collect it!
This is the 869th day of the original article every day.
This article is one of the original theories.
Excerpt from the "Three-step Method of Rose Breeding" series of articles.
Yesterday, I went to Nanxi for a circle with friends. During lunch, we talked about raising flowers. They mentioned that a friend had just bought a very large rose. At that moment, I imagined, hmm, it must be a rich person giving out welfare, haha...
The friends who accompanied me were all lovers of flowers, and they naturally knew that I was also fond of roses. When a friend bought an extra-large rose seedling, it was natural to go and see it.
It was no coincidence that when I read the question form submitted by the readers in the evening, I found that some readers in our group also mentioned similar questions.
In fact, I have mentioned large rose seedlings in previous articles and do not recommend buying them, but many people still can't help but buy them, thinking that bigger is better, grows faster, and doesn't need to raise small seedlings.
But as you can see from the readers' questions, such large seedlings often end up with growth停滞 or death when they reach the hands of rose lovers.
If you really want to buy such extra-large climbing roses, here are two suggestions that can help you avoid detours and save money.
Buying Suggestions for Extra-large Rose Seedlings:
1. Buying Time
For this kind of extra-large seedling, if you want to buy it, you should choose to buy it in late autumn, winter, or early spring.
At these three times, roses are in the state of about to hibernate, hibernating, and just sprouting, and transplanting them at this time causes less damage to the roses and is relatively easy to recover.
I transplanted a super-large climbing rose in the last winter, almost bare-rooted. The branches were about 3 square meters in diameter. I didn't prune it much when transplanting. Although it was full of flowers in the spring, there were no leaves.
When transplanting super-large seedlings, you should prune them significantly, or else their later growth will definitely be affected.
Think about it, even if you don't prune much during the winter dormancy period, the growth of roses will be affected. Isn't it difficult to avoid growth停滞 or death when we buy and transplant them during the flowering period?
In order to avoid the seedlings withering, we can only choose to prune them significantly. So, what's the point of buying such a super-large seedling?
2. Look at the Growing Soil
The large seedlings commonly seen in the market are cultivated with garden soil. These seedlings are mostly managed in the open air in nurseries, and some of their roots grow into the ground, forming a semi-ground planting state.
Can you imagine that the roots of such seedlings are already damaged when they are lifted?
If you want to buy such finished climbing roses, it is recommended that you spend more money to buy them from brand chain stores. Buy true potted climbing roses.
True potted roses are grown with special rose soil, and such finished seedlings can be bought. There's no need to repot or prune them when bought. If you want to repot, you can first use a pot-in-pot method or change the pot with soil after flowering.
What to do if you have bought a super-large seedling?
If you have bought an extra-large rose seedling like the readers, here are some suggestions to ensure the survival of the seedling:
1. Prune drastically.
Cut off all withered, yellowed branches, and old branches without leaves. Cut the whole seedling back to about 1/3 of its height, taking care to retain as many leaves as possible.
2. Lightly change the soil.
This kind of seedling in a grow bag or nutrition pot needs to be repotted and changed. Growing in garden soil will bring more difficulties for our later management.
But be aware that when changing the soil, you can only change 1/3-1/2 of the outer soil of the original soil ball, allowing the outer roots to be exposed, which can promote rapid root growth.

If you change all the soil or even wash the roots, you will need to prune very drastically, even completely bare, and then the later maintenance requirements will be higher.
3. Pull the branches horizontally for maintenance.
Keeping your rose branches drooping can make the roses sprout stronger new branches, giving hope for rejuvenation.
