Worried that the continuous rainy weather will cause the roses to blind bud?
A comprehensive analysis of the concerns about the roses possibly blind budding due to continuous rainy weather in the aspect of green plants and flowers, with a detailed introduction below.
Talking about this weather, it's really frustrating. The rain has been pouring for months, even crossing the year without stopping. Now the temperature is getting warmer, and our roses are all swelling with buds, ready to burst. Some cold-tolerant varieties of roses have already started to sprout.
But what should we do if it keeps raining without any sunshine? Can the roses still grow well? Is there any hope for blooming flowers?
For such long periods of cloudy and rainy weather, it's indeed a headache for us, the flower growers. But there's nothing we can do if the sun doesn't want to show up. We can artificially create rain if it doesn't rain for a long time, but we can't create sunshine.
Although we can't do anything about the lack of sunshine, we still need to pay attention to several issues in rose cultivation, or even if the sun comes out, we might not have flowers to admire!
Precautions for rose cultivation in the rain
Many flower friends grow their roses outdoors, and it's true, they're all lined up in the yard. But this prolonged exposure to rain can easily cause the roses to lack nutrients.
Think about the region of Zhejiang, which has been raining continuously for four or five months now. This rain has washed over and over again, and all the nutrients in the potting soil have been washed away.
Worried that the continuous rainy weather will cause the roses to blind bud?
Some flower friends might say, I added a lot of organic fertilizer when I repotted them in winter, isn't that enough? Sorry, after this repeated heavy rain, the fertilizer is almost gone, and the roses are all swelling with buds, ready to grow. If they don't get timely nutrient补充, it's very likely that the first batch of branches in spring will all blind bud.
So, how should we fertilize during this continuous rainy period?
In the shaded and continuously cloudy weather, we don't have the opportunity to water the roses, so it seems we also don't have the chance to fertilize. What should we do then?
Roses that have already grown leaves
Actually, you can still fertilize without watering. If the roses have already started growing leaves, we can spray a diluted version of the Flower多多1 fertilizer on the leaves when it's not raining. Remember to keep the concentration low, preferably spraying once every 5 days, rather than using a high-concentration fertilizer solution. The new leaves are very tender and can't withstand concentrated fertilizers. The principle of fertilizing should be to avoid causing any harm from the fertilizer.
