Do you know these? How to plant roses and the cultivation methods and management of roses and floral knowledge, next let's learn together.
Roses are plants of the Rosaceae family, Rosaceae, with high economic and ornamental value. Rose flowers are bright in color and pleasant in fragrance, and are famous raw materials for essential oils, with high value. Roses are treasures among ornamental flowers, widely cultivated in the country, deeply loved by flower enthusiasts, and one of the main flowers for courtyard cultivation.
I. Propagation methods of roses
The propagation of roses is very easy. There are several methods of rose propagation, including seeding (single-petal roses can be propagated by seed, the rose fruit is harvested in October and can be sown immediately or stored in sand until March of the following year, and transplanted in autumn), division (performed during the dormant period of roses), grafting, and cutting propagation. Cutting propagation is usually adopted, with semi-woody branches cut in June, cut into 10-15 cm segments, and planted in a pot or flowerpot filled with sandy soil. After watering sufficiently, cover the pot tightly with plastic film. Under conditions of 20-30℃, it takes about a month to root. After rooting, the cuttings should be transplanted promptly.
III. Preparation of cultivation soil, usually in the courtyard, ground planting is used, while in cities, pot cultivation is the main method. The cultivation soil for roses should be loose, with good drainage and water retention. The potting soil for roses is prepared with 20-30% compost, 30-40% garden soil, and 30% wood ash.
IV. Cultivation of roses, pot-grown roses are best grown in clay pots, usually using pots with a diameter of 27 cm or more. The pots are filled with broken tiles at the bottom, then filled with cultivation soil, and the rooted rose cuttings are placed in the center of the pot. The roots should be spread out, and the soil is filled to half the height of the pot, then the rose plant is slightly lifted and shaken to compact the soil. The planting should not be too deep, keeping the rootstock level with the pot opening. If it's too shallow, it affects survival; if it's too deep, it affects the growth of the roses after transplanting. After planting, water thoroughly. After planting, keep the plant in a shaded environment for a week, then move it to a sunny location after the roots have recovered.
Five is water and fertilizer management. During the growth and development period, fertilize every 10-15 days, water every 1-2 days during dry periods, water once a day during hot summers and early autumn, water moderately before flowering, and after rain, make sure to pour out any excess water in the pot. Especially in summer, insufficient water supply can cause leaf drop, so water in the morning and evening, and in autumn, water in the afternoon after the soil is completely dry. In winter, the rose plant is in a dormant state, so water should be controlled. After flowering, reduce watering. Excessively wet soil can cause leaf drop and root rot.
Six is pruning, which is done after the leaves fall. The pruning can be more extensive, mainly thinning out diseased, dead, and dense branches. For the remaining branches, strong ones are cut by half, and weak ones by two-thirds.
Seven is pot changing. As roses grow vigorously, the roots can quickly fill the entire pot, so it's necessary to change the pot every 1-2 years, usually done in early spring before the roses sprout, cutting off old roots and replacing with new soil.
