Rose Planting Time
Let's talk about some knowledge of roses, the planting time of roses. The following is an introduction for you in detail.
The planting time of roses varies slightly between the north and the south. In the south, autumn is better because the cuttings start to grow in winter and become strong in spring, which can smoothly pass the summer. In the north, spring is better, and by winter, you can have better plants.
Generally, after the Laiaso soil thaws, it is the best season to transplant roses. When digging up the seedlings, be sure to take a good soil ball and try not to damage the roots. To reduce the evaporation of water from the branches and leaves, some branches and leaves (not more than one-third) should be cut off. After planting, water and shade promptly. After a week of acclimatization, the plants should be exposed to weak light in the morning and evening and gradually placed under full sunlight, entering daily management.
Roses are relatively drought-resistant, and the soil should not be too moist, especially avoid waterlogging. Whether planted in the ground or in pots, the watering of roses should be thorough each time, waiting for the surface soil to dry before watering thoroughly again. Especially the first watering after transplanting must be thorough. If it is not watered thoroughly at once, it should be watered again until it is thoroughly watered. Afterwards, based on the principle of wet and dry soil, reasonable irrigation should be carried out according to the soil moisture, weather conditions, and the growing season of the roses. Some rose enthusiasts are afraid that the roses will dry up and often water them, causing the soil to become waterlogged and muddy. This is not good for the respiration of the rose roots, causing root rot and death.
Rose fertilization should focus on coarse and base fertilizers. Applying more organic fertilizers is beneficial for improving the soil, making the soil have good water retention, permeability, and aeration. When using organic fertilizers as base and topdressings, it must be noted that they have been thoroughly decomposed. Avoid piling up fertilizer at the base of the rose stems and roots when applying base fertilizer. Liquid fertilizers should not be applied too concentrated, otherwise, it is not conducive to the growth of roses and can even cause death in severe cases.
Roses are suitable for growing in fertile, loose, breathable, and well-drained neutral sandy loam soil. Potting soil should be a mixture of decomposed horse (or cow) dung 40%, garden soil 40%, and sandy soil 20%. The poor water retention and drainage of the soil are also major causes of rose death.
