To care for roses well, to make them colorful, produce many flowers, have a long blooming period, and have fragrant flowers, the following points should be followed:
1. Potting soil selection
When planting roses for the first time, this factor is very important and directly affects whether the roses can grow well, especially the choice of potting soil. You must use very fertile and loose potting soil to plant roses. In general, you cannot just use ordinary garden soil, as it easily becomes compacted and lacks nutrients. It is best to add more decayed leaf soil and peat, etc.
The flower pot must have a good drainage hole and can be made of plastic or ceramic. The potting soil should consist of 4 parts decayed leaf soil, 6 parts sandy loam soil, and some 5% of soybean paste residue or wood ash, which is more conducive to its growth.
2. Sufficient lighting
Roses are very sun-loving plants, so they cannot be short of light, otherwise the branches will grow long and thin, and the flowers will be sparse and not fragrant. In summer, if the temperature exceeds 30 degrees, you can give it some shading or place it in a place with diffused light and ventilation.
