The Queen of Flowers - Rose
Roses are native to China and are one of the traditional top ten famous flowers in China. They are also one of the world's four major cut flowers, known as the "Queen of Flowers."
Roses symbolize beautiful love and have a strong fragrance, making them pleasing to the eye.
There are also many varieties and colors of roses. Planting them at home can not only cultivate one's temperament but also add endless affection to one's home. They can also be used to make tea and美食, a win-win situation.
Rose stems are soft and cannot be made into fresh cut flowers, so modern hybrid roses with five-petaled flowers, bred from roses and Chinese roses, are used as fresh cut "roses" in the market.

Rose Cultivation Steps
Step 1
To plant roses, you can use seedlings or purchase them directly from a flower market or garden store.
No matter what, you need to choose healthy, disease-free seedlings for cultivation.
Step 2
In early winter or early spring, plant the rose seedlings shallowly in containers, cover them with soil, water them, and keep them shaded. Once the new buds grow, move them to a sunny place.
Step 3
When the rose buds are fully swollen but not yet open, they can be harvested. After drying in the shade or sun-drying, they can be used to make flower tea.
Step 4
After the flowers bloom, dense and overlapping branches need to be pruned. In the winter dormancy period, old branches, diseased branches, and weak-growing branches should be cut.
Step 5
Roses planted in pots usually need to be divided every two years. It is best to perform the division after the leaves fall in early winter or before the sprouts emerge in early spring.
