Does the rose bloom in summer?
The editor will explain whether roses bloom in summer and introduce the aspects of green plants and flowers related to the blooming season of roses. Let's take a look together!
Recently, in spring, many roses are blooming here. I also saw many shops selling roses in full bloom at the flower market the other day. The roses in pots will bloom soon, but there were also times when I failed to make roses bloom in the past. I slowly summarized the reasons why roses don't bloom, and I will share them with flower lovers below.
Roses are best planted in the ground. When the flowers on the branches of a cluster of rose plants are all open, they are fragrant and beautiful. But now, due to limited land, especially many urban flower lovers who like roses very much can only plant them in pots. It is very easy for potted roses not to bloom if not properly cared for. Here we are talking about real roses, not Chinese roses.
There are several main reasons why roses don't bloom. The first is light. If you want roses to bloom, light is essential, and they need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight to bloom well. If placed on a north-facing balcony or windowsill with little direct light, roses will not only grow in vain but also find it hard to bloom.
Temperature is another factor. Unlike Chinese roses, traditional roses are afraid of heat and prefer cooler climates. The temperature needed for roses to bloom is generally between 15 to 25 degrees. It's hard to bloom when it's over 30 degrees. If the temperature exceeds 25 degrees, it's also a bit difficult for roses to develop flower buds. Therefore, for flower lovers in hot areas, it's almost impossible for potted edible roses to bloom now, except for a few heat-resistant varieties.

The failure of potted roses to bloom is also somewhat related to the soil. Roses are deep-rooted plants. Flower lovers should try to use large pots to plant roses to allow their roots to grow deeper. Roses are not suitable for planting in soil with high acidity. Generally speaking, roses grow better in neutral, slightly acidic, or slightly alkaline soil.
Roses are drought-tolerant ornamental plants, but they should not be too dry. If it rains for a long time and the air is humid, roses are very prone to aphids, which can destroy the rose buds and eat the flowers. Roses infested with aphids are not suitable for consumption. If flower lovers want to eat roses without using chemicals, they can try spraying white vinegar on the plants with aphids to see if it can kill them. Laundry detergent water can also kill aphids, but if there are residues, it's still not very suitable for consumption.
If flower lovers want to buy roses this season, it's best to choose potted plants with flower buds. If you buy young seedlings, it's hard for them to bloom in the same year. There are very few varieties of roses, and compared to Chinese roses, they are rare. Only a few varieties of roses can bloom in multiple seasons, such as the 'Pingyin' rose. Roses here sometimes bloom in summer, but the flowers' condition can't compare to the first bloom, and there is a certain gap. Most roses bloom only once a year.
Real roses have a fragrance that cannot be simulated by Chinese roses or蔷薇花, which is very sweet and rich. Fresh roses can be picked and brewed into tea, which tastes very sweet. They can also be used for bathing and beauty. You can also pick the rose buds and dry them in the shade, then store them in a sealed jar. When you want to drink, just brew them in water, which is the same as the rose tea bought in the market by flower lovers.
