Why do roses in the greenbelt grow better than the ones cultivated at home?
Many flower enthusiasts often tell me, "The roses in the greenbelt grow well without any care, but why do the ones at home, despite all the attention, still turn yellow and die?"
I believe many flower enthusiasts have this疑问. Let me share my perspective.
Why are roses in the greenbelt easy to grow, yet so difficult to cultivate at home?
About 500 meters away from my home, there is a nursery that specializes in engineering and landscaping roses. Their seedlings are generally grown in garden soil, with the ground leveled and the pots placed directly on the ground. When a batch of flowers fades, they use an electric pruning shear to uniformly cut them back. Every time I pass by, I can see a sea of red roses from a distance.
In the rose nurseries, the seedbeds are covered with weed prevention mats, and the soil used for seedlings is special rose soil, or slightly poorer quality ones use nutrient-rich soil. After each batch of flowers fades, they are pruned by hand, one pot at a time.
From the seedling stage, we can see the gap. Why is there such a huge gap? It is mainly influenced by these two factors.
1. Variety
The varieties of roses used in municipal greening projects are often some floribundas that are drought-resistant, cold-resistant, heat-resistant, disease-resistant, and have strong adaptability, with low maintenance costs. Common ones include Red Composure, Yellow Composure, Red Hat roses, etc.

These roses have a good flowering nature, blooming continuously from spring to autumn. Since the seedlings in the greenbelts are planted densely, they look like a vast expanse of blooming flowers from a distance, giving a sense of lushness and abundance.
Besides the sturdy and easy-to-grow floribundas, some classic tea-scented large-flowered roses are also used in greening. Common varieties include Pink Fan, Red Fan, Gold Medal, etc. These roses also have good adaptability, are sturdy and easy to grow, and have large flowers.
When selecting rose varieties for greening projects, the main considerations are sturdiness, ease of care, disease resistance, and reblooming ability. The varieties themselves are adaptable, and with regular maintenance, they can perform well.
However, when our flower enthusiasts select rose varieties, they first consider whether the flower shape is beautiful and if the color is pleasing. As for the disease resistance and adaptability of the variety, the breeders have already sacrificed a lot in pursuit of flower shape and color. As the saying goes, you can't have your cake and eat it too.
