Rose catalog
The editor brings you a briefing on roses, rose catalog. Next, the site editor will introduce to the netizens.
The Qing Dynasty's "Rose Catalog" by the owner of the Flower Appreciation Hall is one of the earliest professional rose catalogs in China that records the cultivation and varieties of roses. This catalog was included in the "Complete Library of the Four Branches of Literature" [This is a mistake], occasionally found in volumes circulating in the market, and those who obtained it cherished it as if it were a treasure and kept it secret. Ancient books online are often copied for a thousand yuan. The rose flu group's Ice Mountain Master exercises the "Divine Dog Law" and finally gets a scanned copy in a corner of the internet. This copy is in vertical alignment in classical Chinese, which is not easy to read. Now, after sentence breaking and proofreading based on the original, it is issued for easy reference.
Rose catalog
Roses are not precious in the world, according to the flower catalog, the cultivation method is not clear. Recently, the method of variation has been obtained, which becomes more and more diverse and wonderful, starting from Qinghuai and extending to the north and south of the Yangtze River. Elegant people have appreciated it. The flowers are in full bloom, and the names are also new. The popularity of roses in Wu is beyond ancient and modern times. The variety is almost as many as chrysanthemums, and today's rose lovers are even more fond of them than chrysanthemums. I have a passion for roses and have mastered the essence of cultivation. Here I present my life-tested methods for the benefit of fellow enthusiasts. The list is divided into nine categories: watering, fertilizing, embryo care, pruning, avoiding cold, cutting, sowing, pest control, and varieties.
Watering First
Roses should not be too wet or too dry, water with clear water when the pot surface turns white. The best water is the water from the twelfth month and the rain from the plum blossom season, otherwise, ordinary rainwater is also fine. If it is river water, stir it with several pebbles to clarify it and store it for use. When flowering, water with fragrant tea to make the flowers more beautiful and durable.
Fertilizing Second
Roses like fertilizer, and the soil should be a mixture of field and ground soil, mixed with thick manure; or the soil can be burned first and placed in a place exposed to sunlight and rain, which is the best for use at any time. But ordinary soil can also produce good flowers if fertilized properly. First, use the manure from the twelfth month of the previous year, then store it for three or four months, and it can also be used. Fresh manure should never be used. In spring, use seven parts manure and three parts water, in summer, four parts manure and six parts water, in autumn, six parts manure and four parts water, and in winter, eight parts manure and two parts water. Whether there are buds or not, the plants should be watered twice a month, and red roses especially like fertilizer, so it is fine to water one or two more times. In December, when the weather is clear and warm, it is even better to water with thick manure, which can not only keep the plants warm but also prevent them from shedding leaves, ensuring an early and vigorous growth in the spring. However, in early spring, when the buds are just sprouting and new branches are growing, never water with manure, or the buds will turn black. Wait until the branches are long and the leaves are old before watering. It is also not suitable to water during flowering, as it will make the flower heart too strong and unable to bloom. After the flowers fall, it is necessary to water with manure, observing the fertility and fertilizing accordingly.
Embryo Care Third
In hot summers, flowers are prone to bloom with fewer petals. After the buds are formed, they should be moved to a shady place or covered with reed curtains to let in a little sunlight, so that the flowers can be larger and bloom longer.
Pruning Fourth
If the stems are left to grow naturally, not only will it be detrimental to the aesthetic, but it will also divide the flowering energy and not make the plant flourish. All drooping branches, branches that grow inward or intertwined, old stems that are decayed and without flowers, should be pruned according to their direction and density. The pruning should ensure that the plant has branches on all sides, is lush and attractive, and new branches will appear a few days after pruning. This has been tried and tested many times and should not be ignored.
Avoiding Cold Fifth
Although roses are not afraid of the cold, they should not be exposed to wind, snow, frost, or dew. After the frost, they should be covered with reed curtains and removed during the day. In severe cold weather, dig loose soil and half-bury the pots in the soil, covering them with reed curtains day and night. This can keep them warm and absorb ground energy, which is the best method. Alternatively, move them indoors, but they must be in a sunny place, watered with clear water when the weather is clear, and taken out of the house by the end of January.
Cutting Sixth
Cutting should be done between March and April or June and July, during rainy days, and it cannot be done at other times. Choose half-old and vigorous branches, scrape off a few fractions of the green skin at the end of the branch, and place it in a shady place after cutting, and it can be exposed to sunlight after half a month. Sprinkle water regularly and water with light manure after a month, and flowers will bloom after two months. The soil, if burned, is best mixed with rice chaff ash, or the bottom of the pot can be铺上 rice chaff ash. Approximately ten parts soil to one part ash. If cutting branches from elsewhere, they must be inserted into taros, radishes, or sweet potatoes, even if they are buried overnight in the soil, it will not harm them. For expensive varieties that are difficult to survive, after planting in the soil, water with half a bowl of golden juice, and they will all survive.
Sowing Seventh
Recently, variations are all due to sowing. The red variety, such as Han Palace Spring Dawn, the white variety, such as New Spring Willow and Spring Green Wave, are new variations from the dense wave yellow variety. However, it is difficult to grow seedlings. I have not tried it personally and have not obtained the details, so I will just mention it for reference.
Pest Control Eighth
Sprinkle chrysanthemum leaves densely with fishy grass, which can remove all pests. If there are small green caterpillars that gather on branches to damage leaves, they can be cleaned up with fishy grass water. There are also green caterpillars that roll leaves and then multiply, specializing in eating leaves, so it is necessary to search and pick them up as soon as the leaves are rolled. There are also yellow-bellied caterpillars that damage the stems, which are even more harmful, and they should be killed with constant vigilance. If the soil is fertilized with dirty things, not only is it easier for pests to grow at the roots, but there will also be many white lice on the stems, so only clean soil should be used.
Varieties Ninth
The following are all the fine varieties listed on the left: Lan Tian Bi Yu (this variety does not like too much fertilizer, water with manure twice a month, which is better than other varieties), Jin Ou Fan Green, Zhao Ya San Qi (also known as羽士装), Guo National Light Makeup, Chi Long Han Zhu (this variety likes fertilizer, otherwise the flowers are very small), Xiao Feng Can Yue (also known as New Spring Willow, also known as QiongTai Qing Pin), Dan Mo Peony Yellow (also known as MiBo Dan Huang Pao), Chun Shui Green Wave (this variety easily sheds leaves and should be kept in a ventilated place indoors during flowering, and must be exposed to dew at night, otherwise the leaves will fall. Also, this and New Spring Willow do not like too much fertilizer, and the watering method is the same as Lan Tian Bi Yu), Liu Chao Jin Powder, Yu Ye Fu Rong (also known as Shui Yue Zhuang, this variety is not particularly special, but is listed as a precious variety because of its color and fragrance, just like Chun Shui Green Wave). All these varieties have their own charm and uniqueness, making them the most precious among the top-quality varieties.
