Roses are highly ornamental and look very beautiful after blooming. However, some flower lovers buy seeds from the market to plant themselves, but the chances of success are very slim. So, when is the best time to plant roses? Actually, spring is the best choice because it helps with germination, and following the planting method of roses, they can bloom in no time.
【One, the best time to plant roses, spring】
If you want to plant good roses, it is best to choose spring for sowing because the spring temperature is relatively mild compared to winter. However, it is also necessary to choose a sunny day for sowing, mainly because roses have a dormant characteristic, and the seeds contain some inhibitors that cause dormancy. Therefore, it is impossible for them to break open in low temperatures.
It must be treated before sowing to make it germinate, which can be done through sand storage. Put the seeds in moist sand, place them in a container, then cover them with a 3cm thick layer of wet sand, maintain the temperature around 0°C for 2-3 months, and then sow. This can improve the survival rate of rose seeds.
【Two, rose planting methods】
<1. Choose the right soil>
The most essential elements for rose roots in the soil are water, oxygen, and nutrients. Therefore, the soil for cultivating roses should take care of these three points. Some soil is very sticky and rich in nutrients but not breathable, which can cause root rot. Some growing materials are very loose and breathable but lack nutrients, which can lead to poor growth. The best choice is the so-called granular structure soil.
<2. Sowing>
When is the best time to plant roses?
Roses are best sown in spring, but you can also choose to sow in autumn. However, you need to prepare the flower pots and soil in advance, then scatter the rose seeds, and place them in a semi-shaded area. Take care of them diligently every day, but you should wait a few days before watering.
<3. Watering after a few days>
There is no fixed rule for watering every few days. It differs between growing on a balcony and in a garden, and between the first floor and the tenth floor. Water when the soil surface is dry. Turning the pot over will show that while the surface is dry, the lower part is still slightly moist, and it won't dry out completely, even with the most breathable clay pots. Of course, the prerequisite is that the soil surface should not be dry for several days, or the lower part will also dry out. However, you should not water too much at once, or it will kill the plant.
<4. Fertilizer management>
Roses require the most nitrogen fertilizer. There should be sufficient nitrogen supply in spring. Roses can bloom several times from spring to early summer, and after each bloom, they need to produce new branches before flowering again. In early spring, after the first batch of new leaves matures and before bud formation, nitrogen fertilizer can have a higher proportion, and after the buds appear, increase the proportion of phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. This way, you can successfully cultivate rose seedlings.
