(Compared with the green plant and flower content of the Damascus Rose introduction for most people, the editor will provide you with detailed answers next.)
(Flower friends often ask whether roses are edible. Most of the ornamental roses we raise are not edible varieties. If you want to raise edible roses, we recommend the Damascus Rose. It is not only ornamental but also has high edible value and is known as the king of rose essential oils.)
(The Damascus Rose belongs to the classical courtyard rose, a shrub that can grow up to 2 meters tall, native to Syria. It was widely planted in France since the 14th century and is also cultivated in South China, North China, and Southwest China.)
(The fragrance of the Damascus Rose is strong and pure, widely planted for rose oil extraction and recognized as a superior oil-yielding rose variety. The Damascus Rose is also edible. Its flowers can be soaked in water to drink, regulating the gastrointestinal function, promoting the excretion of toxins from the body, maintaining a healthy physique, and enhancing beauty and a slender figure with long-term consumption.)
(The Damascus Rose is very precious because it differs from several other rose varieties in China that can bloom multiple times a year. The Damascus Rose blooms only once a year, in April to May during spring. To increase the bloom quantity of the Damascus Rose, the following points are recommended for cultivation and care.)
(1. - - Fertile and loose soil - -)
(The Damascus Rose grows vigorously. When planting in the ground, it is recommended to add a sufficient amount of fermented organic fertilizer as a base fertilizer and plant it in a sunny location with slightly higher terrain. For potting, it is recommended to use a special rose soil. When mixing soil, you can use 5 parts peat soil, 3 parts decomposed leaf soil, 1 part perlite, and 1 part fermented organic fertilizer. The Damascus Rose should be transplanted with the original soil ball and is best planted in spring, so it can bloom the following spring. After planting, water it once, known as the "root-setting water".)
(2. - - Maintain sufficient sunlight - -)
(The Damascus Rose loves a sunny environment. For potting, it is recommended to place it in a position with at least 4 hours of direct sunlight daily. With sufficient sunlight, the Damascus Rose grows more vigorously, and the number of blooms in the following year will increase significantly.)
(3. - - Appropriate watering and fertilizing - -)
(Watering the Damascus Rose should be adjusted according to the season and weather. In the spring and summer growing seasons, keep the soil moist, and water when the surface of the soil is dry. In the autumn and winter, reduce watering and water when the top 1-2 cm of the potting soil is dry. In winter, when the Damascus Rose is dormant, keep the soil slightly moist.)
(The Damascus Rose prefers fertilizer, but since it blooms only once a year, when fertilizing, it is important to adjust the choice of fertilizer according to the season. In February to March, when the Damascus Rose grows rapidly, use a general growth-type fertilizer. For ground planting, you can use a ternary compound fertilizer, applying it every 15 days. For potting, use a growth water-soluble fertilizer, such as a "Flower More" type water-soluble fertilizer or nutrient solution. You can also use fermented organic fertilizer water, such as soybean cake fertilizer water or fermented sheep dung water.)
(By April, the Damascus Rose begins to form flower buds, and it is recommended to increase the application of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers, such as monopotassium phosphate fertilizer or "Flower More" No. 2 fertilizer, maintaining an application every 7-10 days to promote bud growth. You can also use fermented fish intestine fertilizer water or organic fertilizers rich in phosphorus and potassium, such as fish protein fertilizers.)
(When the Damascus Rose blooms, stop applying additional fertilizer. After flowering, apply 2-3 times of general growth-type fertilizer to help the plant recover and survive the summer. In summer, stop fertilizing and resume in September when the weather cools. After entering winter, when the Damascus Rose is dormant, apply a sufficient amount of fermented organic fertilizer to overwinter.)
(4. - - Reasonable pruning - -)
(After blooming, the Damascus Rose should undergo a pruning, mainly light pruning, removing残花, diseased branches, and weak branches, retaining strong branches, and pruning new branches to about 5 cm to encourage more lateral branching.)
(During the winter dormancy period to early spring before sprouting, another pruning should be done, removing diseased and weak branches, pruning the top 20 cm of the vigorous branches and medium-long branches, and also pruning the older branches to rejuvenate the plant.)
(5. - - Change pots and prune roots annually - -)
(The Damascus Rose grows relatively quickly. For potted Damascus Roses, to ensure a good bloom, it is recommended to change the pot and soil once a year, using new fertile potting soil and pruning the roots appropriately to stimulate the Damascus Rose to produce more new roots and maintain vitality, blooming year after year.)
