Rose is the most beautiful creation of all flowers. It is not for nothing that she is called the queen of the garden, because she is endowed with a bright and catchy beauty that leaves an indelible mark on the soul. But before placing it in their garden, gardeners wonder whether it is possible to plant roses in the country in the fall, how to carry out the procedure correctly, what features and secrets there are. All the answers to these questions are below!

Many gardeners, especially beginners, wonder whether it is possible to plant roses in the fall. The answer is clear: autumn is the ideal time to plant roses. Temperature, humidity, and the condition of the soil substrate are suitable for this event. If you plant a young seedling in the last warm months, then in the spring it will produce its first buds.

As for when it is better to plant roses in the fall, specifically at what time, most often the planting of seedlings begins in September and ends at the end of October. It all depends on where you live and the climate.

Attention! Planting roses in the fall should be completed 20-30 days before the first frost. At this time, the young seedling will have time to take root well, grow additional roots and prepare for the winter.

But you should not start planting work at the end of August, since the early period of rooting of seedlings will cause the buds to begin to develop. This process can negatively affect the seedling when the first frosts arrive, which will weaken the young plant and may even cause death.

The ideal temperature for rooting is +10..+15 C, while the night temperature should not drop below +5..+100 C. It is during this period that the root system actively grows, and the buds remain dormant.

Advantages and disadvantages of planting in autumn

It is quite difficult to say when it is better to plant roses - in spring or autumn, and opinions vary. Some people believe that seedlings should be planted only in the fall so that the plant can immediately begin to grow. Others are sure that the best time is autumn.

There are several advantages of planting roses in autumn:

If you plant roses in the fall, then in the spring they grow better and more actively than those that were buried in the ground at the beginning of spring.
Unlike the spring months, September and October are characterized by high humidity. This weather has a positive effect on young seedlings; they develop roots faster and become established in the soil.
In autumn, there is more precipitation in the form of rain than in April or even more so in May. During this period, the soil is moistened naturally, so there is no need to control soil moisture.
After the summer heat, the soil substrate does not have time to cool, the ground temperature remains long time stable, which allows plants to grow a good root system.
There is no danger of frosts, unlike the return ones in spring subzero temperatures.
A large number of seedlings of varying quality, since the spring sale often consists of old seedlings from last year that were left over from the fall and were not sold on time.

But with all the advantages autumn planting, there are several disadvantages :

Early boarding. If you plant too early, the seedling will grow and green leaves will begin to appear. This activation process will negatively affect the condition of the plant in winter.
Late boarding. Planting at the end of October-November threatens a sharp change in weather and the onset of frosty days. The plant does not have time to gain a good foothold in the ground, freezes and dies.
Shelter. Poor quality insulation of a young seedling can be a problem for its further existence. If the cover is not properly covered, fungal diseases can form. All this depletes the plant’s strength, contributing to its death.

Advice! Before autumn planting, you should carefully monitor the weather forecast and do everything on time.

How to plant roses in the fall - features and step-by-step instructions

There are certain nuances of the procedure that you need to know in order to properly plant roses in the fall. Let's find out!

What should a seedling be like and how to prepare it for planting in open ground

It is recommended to select rose seedlings for planting in the fall and buy them in specialized stores or from reputable suppliers. If planting is planned in the near future, then it is best to purchase specimens with an open root system. In this state, it is easy to examine it and see all the shortcomings and disadvantages of the plant.

Video: planting roses in the fall with an open root system.

The roots should be evenly developed in all directions, brown in color, without strange spots that look like rot. Seedlings must have at least 3 well-developed main shoots. They should be a rich green color with a glossy tint, as well as with sharp spikes, without unusual cracks or excess growths.

If the seedling is in a container with soil (that is, with a closed root system), then you need to check how the soil lags behind the flowerpot to determine how long it has been there. If there are leaves on the plant, they should be rich green in color, healthy in appearance and without any spots on the leaf surface.

A seedling with an open root system should be properly prepared before planting. If the seedling is already sitting in a pot, it is not touched until the procedure of transshipment to a new place of residence.

To prepare bare-root roses, do the following:

Landing location

Which place should you choose? Roses take root well in sunny areas protected from northern winds and drafts.

By the way! If a shrub is planted in the shade, it will reach for the light, bloom little and get sick a lot. On the sunny south side the plant will quickly lose moisture and bloom in a short time. Therefore, you should choose a place where there is a lot sunlight, but there will be light shade for a few hours in the afternoon.

Not good good idea place the rose garden near tall and dense trees, which will certainly create a strong shadow.

You should not plant the plant in lowlands where water often stagnates. The presence of high groundwater is also not desirable. Rose does not like excessive moisture. Under such conditions, the root system of the plant begins to rot and the plant dies.

What kind of soil is needed?what to fertilize before planting

Of course, it is preferable to plant roses in fertile soil. The soil should be loose, airy and well permeable to moisture.

Important! The selected area is prepared not just before the procedure of planting seedlings, but at least a few weeks before this moment.

The soil is carefully dug up to 40 centimeters and, if necessary, dolomite flour or lime is added. This is required to reduce acidity, since roses grow well only in slightly acidic soil. If the soil is heavy, it is recommended to add peat, sand and compost when digging.

Preparation of holes (their sizes) and optimal distance between seedlings

The next stage of planting is preparing the planting hole. The recess is dug to a depth of 40-50 cm. It should be at least 50, and preferably 70 cm wide.

As for the distance between seedlings, it varies depending on the variety of roses. Thus, polyanthus, hybrid tea and floribunda roses are planted at a distance of 30-60 centimeters from each other, park roses - 75-90 cm, climbing and standard roses - up to 100 cm.

Planting methods

Important! If your soil is clayey, then you need to add a drainage layer. Broken brick, pebbles or expanded clay are suitable for this. And fertile soil is poured on top.

According to first method (dry), before the planting procedure, a small mound is thrown onto the bottom of a hole prepared in advance. A seedling with roots spread out in different directions is placed on top of it and covered with fertile soil. Next you need to compact it and water it generously.

Note!

It is very important to properly deepen the seedling, namely, so that its grafting site (root collar) is underground at a depth of 5 cm.

Exception. U standard roses– by 10 cm.

In addition to this dry method, there is wet planting.

Second way requires the preparation of a sodium humate solution, which is completely poured into the well. Afterwards, the seedling is installed, and all other procedures are performed in exactly the same way as with the dry planting method.

It is up to the gardener to decide which planting method to use. Both methods have their own advantages.

Care after landing

Once you plant your roses, caring for the young plants is very simple. Usually, watering are no longer required, since the weather is wet at this time in autumn. However, if the autumn is very dry, then watering is necessary.

IN feeding plants don't need it either. During soil preparation, a sufficient amount of nutrition was added, which will last until spring.

Carefully! Fertilizing with organic matter or nitrogen fertilizers in the fall is strictly prohibited, otherwise fertilizing will provoke increased growth of the above-ground part.

Further care comes down to preparing the plant for winter.

Important! You can read more about preparing roses for winter and covering them In this article.

Features of planting in different regions

The optimal time for planting roses in the fall in the middle zone (Moscow region) is the entire month of September. As a rule, the remaining time is enough for the plant to take root well and have time to adapt to winter.

In general, planting roses in the fall in the Urals and Siberia is not recommended; it is better to postpone it until the fall, but if you still want to do it in the fall, then it is worth considering several differences:

The grafting is buried somewhat deeper at 6-7 cm.
The best time for planting is August-early September, in other words, the end of summer. When planting roses later in the fall, the seedling will not have time to take root and will freeze during the first frost.

Possible errors during landing

Unfortunately, most gardeners who first set out to plant roses in the fall personal plot, make a number of offensive and simple mistakes. To prevent them, before the event you should carefully read the rules and timing of autumn planting.

The following mistakes are made when planting roses in the fall:

The opinion that a seedling planted in peat will grow and develop perfectly is wrong. The plant most often begins to rot, often gets sick and ultimately dies. The best option for rooting in open ground is loamy soil rich in minerals.
During planting, the roots do not straighten, but bend upward. Arranging the roots in this form causes problems for the plant; it grows slowly and develops poorly. Therefore, for rapid growth and budding in the first year after planting, it is recommended to ensure the correct placement of the roots.
The grafting is too deep into the soil. The normal grafting depth is 5 cm. If the plant is planted much lower, the bush begins to become depressed, wither and die. Neither fertilizing nor abundant watering can save it.

Attention! After planting, the plant should be watered well. If the ground has subsided, it means there are gaps inside empty space. They should be neutralized by compacting the soil well.

Thus, planting roses in autumn period has its own rules and features. It is worth listening to the opinion experienced flower growers, who have planted varietal bushes more than once. Otherwise, you can ruin the young seedling by making all possible mistakes.

Planting roses in open ground is not an easy task, especially for a novice gardener. In this article we will tell you in detail how to do it correctly in order to grow a beautiful rose garden yourself.

The most suitable time for autumn planting roses is from mid-September to early October. Plants planted during this period manage to take root well before the onset of frost and quickly begin to grow in the spring. This primarily applies to regions where the winter is quite mild. In autumn, the earth is well warmed up, there is enough rainfall, so the seedlings develop better than when planting roses in the spring.

Choosing a landing site

Roses do well in a sunny area protected from the wind. Wherein groundwater must lie at least 1 m from the ground surface. It is also important to provide the plants with good drainage. The liquid should not stagnate, so a good place for roses will be a southern slope, from which melt water will quickly drain in the spring.

It is also advisable that there are no tall plants and trees near the rose garden, otherwise they will create a shadow for the flowers.

Preparing the soil for roses

Roses prefer fertile, well-drained, loose and moderately moist soil. Moreover, the thickness of the nutrient layer should be at least 40 cm. If the soil on your site is depleted, 2-3 weeks before planting, prepare a nutritious soil mixture of loamy soil and organic fertilizers (compost or humus) in a 1:1 ratio.

When planting in autumn, the soil must be prepared in advance.

Preparing seedlings

If you purchased a seedling with an open root system, soak it in water a day before planting. Then remove the leaves, using a sharp pruner, cut out all the damaged roots, cut off the slightly rotten ones to a healthy place, shorten the above-ground part to a length of 30 cm. Also remove the buds that are located below the grafting site, since wild shoots will grow from them.

Then spray the seedling with 3% iron sulfate, dip the roots into clay mixed with mullein in a 2:1 ratio. This will protect the rose from diseases and pests.

Carefully inspect the rose seedling. It must have at least three well-developed, intact shoots. Saplings with an open root system should have branched roots and many small roots.

Planting roses in autumn in 6 steps

1. Dig a hole 40 cm in diameter and 50-70 cm deep.

2. Place drainage from the bottom broken bricks, pebbles or expanded clay, if the soil on the site is heavy; or lay a layer of clay 7 cm thick if the soil is sandy. Pour fertile soil on top.

3. Place the seedling on it, carefully straightening the roots.

4. Fill the remaining space with soil dug out of the hole or with a previously prepared soil mixture (see the section “Preparing soil for roses”), mixing it with 1-2 cups of ash.

The root collar of the seedling or the grafting site should be 5 cm below the surface of the ground, and for standard roses - 10 cm.

5. Lightly compact the soil and water generously. To better soak the water, it is better to do this in several passes. In total, the liquid consumption should be 1-2 buckets per bush.

6. To prevent the roots of the plant from freezing during autumn frosts, cover the seedlings with a layer of dry peat 15-20 cm thick. This will also help retain moisture in the soil. After 2 weeks, slightly level the peat hill.

When planting flowers in groups, please note: the distance between bushes of park roses should be 75-90 cm. Polyantha, hybrid tea and floribunda roses should be planted at a distance of 30-60 cm. And when planting climbing and standard roses, the distance between bushes should be increased to 1 m .

What to do if you are late planting roses?

If the weather suddenly turns bad in the fall, and you have not yet had time to plant the rose seedlings purchased in advance, you should not do it hastily, as the plants will not have time to take root. It is better to bury them in an inclined position in a greenhouse or in a trench (about 40 cm deep) dug in unprotected soil before spring. When frosts begin, cover the seedlings with spruce branches and peat, and cover them with snow on top.

In addition, seedlings can be placed in a basement with a temperature of about 0°C.

In autumn you can also plant rose cuttings. If you are interested in this method of flower propagation, read the articles:

Cutting roses - 7 useful tips

What do you need to know to carry out the procedure correctly?

Today there are many rose hybrids that do not require much attention when growing. Thanks to this, beginners in gardening have the opportunity to choose a type according to their preferences and climatic conditions. Among the modern variety of varieties, along with heat-loving ones, there are frost-resistant representatives that can take root without problems even in Siberia. For better cultivation roses, you must follow the basic rules.

1 Description, types and varieties

Rose is a generalized name for all representatives of this flower line that are part of the rosehip genus. As they grow, they form bushes that vary in height depending on the species. Some do not exceed 30 cm, others can reach 2.5 m. Based on the type of shoots, they are divided into uterine and annual. The standard classification also does not apply to leaf shape; it all depends on the type.

The appearance, color and size of flowers vary. There are buds from 2–3 cm in diameter to 15–20 cm (with the number of petals from 5 to 100). The color range is striking in its diversity; there are red, white, yellow, pink, black and even blue. The pride of breeders has become roses that change their color during flowering. There is a conditional division of varieties into classes. This helps you navigate correctly and choose the most appropriate option. The emphasis is placed not only on decorative indicators, but also on the place of intended cultivation - in the countryside, in open ground or at home.

Common varieties of roses, often used in garden design, depending on their group affiliation:

Floribunda - Aprikola, Aspirin-Rose, Bengali, Black Forest Rose, Crescendo, Debut, Gebruder Grimm, Hermann-Hesse-Rose, Intarsia, Isarperle, Kosmos, Innocencia, Schone Koblenzerin.
Ground cover roses - Bluhwunder 08, Heidetraum, Sedana, Mirato, Schneeflocke, Stadt Rom, Mirato, Schneeflocke, Sorrento, Stadt Rom.
Scrubs - Comedy, Goldspatz, Flashlight, La Rose de Molinard, Larissa, Medley Pink, Pink Swany, Shining Light, Yellow Meilove.
Hybrid tea roses - Elbflorenz, Grande Amore, Eliza, La Perla, Pink Paradise, Schloss Ippenburg, Souvenir de Baden-Baden.
Large-flowered climbing plants - Golden Gate, Hella, Jasmina, Kir Royal, Laguna.

The main groups of varieties of garden roses:

Species name	Characteristic	Image
Park	Decorative representatives of roses. Endowed with increased winter hardiness, they tolerate low temperatures well without shelter in regions of average climate zone. Unpretentious to care, does not require annual pruning. They begin to bloom in late May - early June, the duration ranges from 2 weeks to 1.5 months. Bushes grow from 1 to 3 m in height
Hybrid tea	Bushes no more than 80 cm high. They are distinguished by long-lasting and spectacular flowering. The buds bloom once and last from June until autumn. The flowers are large, 10–15 cm in diameter. The varieties are not frost-resistant, they need protective shelter in regions with cold winters
Polyanthaceae	Numerous inflorescences form on the shoots. They bloom from June until the first frost. Medium-sized flowers - 7–10 cm in diameter
Floribunda roses	An intermediate variety between hybrid tea and polyanthus roses. When opened, the buds are large and emit a pleasant aroma. Abundant flowering is observed for a long period. They can withstand the cold, staying in the open ground for the winter.
Climbing	They are divided into 2 subspecies: small- and large-flowered. The first variety is characterized by buds with a diameter of up to 4–5 cm; the second - from 5 to 10 cm. A distinctive feature is flexible long shoots, at the ends of which small group inflorescences are collected
Miniature	Compact bushes, abundantly sprinkled with small buds. Endowed long term flowering, right up to the first winter frosts. In gardens they are grown not only in flower beds, but also in hanging and stationary flowerpots or plant pots.
Ground cover scrubs	Unusually decorative roses that are planted as a continuous flowering lawn. Unpretentious to care, cold-resistant and with increased immunity to diseases
Modern park	A group that includes hybrids of Cordes, musk rose, rugosa, scrubs and moiesi. In short, all varieties are called scrubs. Includes all varieties that, for some reason, do not fall into other groups. They are characterized by the following features: buds of an atypical configuration and different colors, smell pleasant, bushes are vigorous, strong and up to 2 m high. They have repeated flowering throughout the growing season. The plants are unpretentious, have strong immunity, and are frost-resistant.
Shrubs	The main difference is a large bush with shoots diverging to the sides. Even with minimal care they grow up to 2.5–2.8 m in height. The following varieties are most popular among gardeners: Modern Shrub, Grandiflora. IN landscape design often used as hedges
Cascade	Rose hips with grafted climbing and ground cover roses at a height of 130–150 cm. The stems are long, sometimes drooping. The shape, size and color of flowers vary and depend on the result of grafting

Rules for growing and caring for climbing roses in open ground

2 Selection of seedlings

If desired, receive lush roses In the garden, you should choose wisely when choosing seedlings. First of all, pay attention to the external condition. Shoots and stems should be green in color, elastic in structure, with bark without defects or damage. It is necessary to have living and healthy kidneys. The requirements for the root system are similar: no breaks, bends or rot. Feel the soil where the seedling is located so that it is slightly moist. The foliage must be alive, green, and without spots.

Important points to pay attention to when choosing seedlings:

A sales tag is required for a quality product. It contains all the necessary information: species, variety, selection.
Availability of ADR marking - a similar icon denotes varieties with increased resistance to diseases and better decorative qualities.
The most expensive seedlings have 3 or more shoots, 2 of which grow from grafting; cheap ones have only 2, both from the vaccination site.

Roses come with open or closed roots, in containers. After purchasing seedlings, it is not recommended to delay planting. This is usually done in the fall, before winter. However, in the regions of the middle zone, including the Moscow region, planting is carried out in the spring. Otherwise, fragile young roots do not have time to take root in a new place and die under the influence of frost. It is allowed to plant roses in the summer, which is guaranteed to give good result. This method may be more expensive.

3 Landing

Regardless of the variety, all roses prefer a loose, soft, fertile substrate with good drainage and an acidity pH of 6–6.5. It is unacceptable to plant flowers in an area where similar species have previously grown for 8–10 years in a row. Such land is completely devastated; no fertilizer can restore the missing elements in its composition. At the same time, there is an accumulation of pathogenic microflora there.

Despite its love of light, the plant is not recommended to be planted in direct sunlight. Flowering will not stop because of this, but it will change decorative look: roses become faded and withered. Therefore, a place is selected with shading, which is important during the midday hours. Ideal location - next to low garden trees or along fences.

Before planting, the seedlings are prepared: roots that are too long are trimmed with pruning shears, and dry ones are completely removed. It is unacceptable to touch the thread-like roots. When planting in spring, the stems are shortened to 30–35 cm, leaving up to 4 buds on the surface. The seedling is placed in a bucket of water for 2–3 hours.

If clay soil prevails on the site, then river sand is added to the planting hole, and the sandstone is diluted with leaf compost. Sequence of agrotechnical activities:

A hole is dug 2–3 times larger than the size of the earthen ball with roots. The bottom is well loosened.
The seedling is buried to a level 4–5 cm higher than the grafting site. The extracted substrate is mixed with compost in a ratio of 1:3 and pure wood ash is added.
The free space is carefully filled, the surface is slightly compacted.
Upon completion of the procedure, moisten the planting site generously. To prevent water from spreading, make a furrow around the perimeter.

It is imperative to hill up the root space not only immediately after planting, but in spring and autumn. In the first case, such a technique helps prevent rapid evaporation of moisture from the soil, and in the second, it will protect the roots from freezing.

You can plant roses from seeds. It is believed that they take a long time to germinate, but it is possible to speed up germination by first keeping the material in the cold. When sowing before winter, it is advisable to treat the seeds with a stimulating solution. The bed is dug up, compost, peat and humus are added to it. Make parallel furrows about 4 cm deep into which sowing is carried out. In this case, maintain an interval of 15–20 cm. Sprinkle soil on top. If the winter is expected to be frosty, to be on the safe side, cover the bed with any suitable material. It is better to prepare the area for spring sowing in the fall.

Another effective option for germinating seeds is seedlings at home. A favorable period for this is the beginning of February. The seed material is first placed in the cold for several months, then soaked in a growth stimulator. They are planted in separate pots into which a peat-sand mixture is poured. The seeds are deepened by 3–4 cm, sprinkled with sand and moistened with a spray bottle. With the appearance of 2–3 strong leaves, the seedlings are picked individually. In May, they are transferred to a permanent place of growth - in the garden.

4 Care

For full development and abundant flowering, roses must be cared for. Mandatory procedures are:

Watering is carried out once every 7 days so that the soil is saturated to a depth of at least 25 cm. Otherwise, the plant takes on superficial roots, which are easily damaged during subsequent loosening. Moisturize 2 times more often if the weather is hot. It is advisable to cover the root circle with humus or peat mulch. Then the moisture will evaporate less intensely.
Before the onset of the first frost (in October), the bushes are wrapped in burlap, and the roots are sprinkled with a mixture of earth and sand.
Pruning plays a primary role in general care. In the spring they resort to formative training. In summer, faded buds, drooping and diseased leaves are removed. In autumn, dry and damaged shoots are removed. The cut areas are treated with garden varnish. Before the onset of winter, all weakened stems and shoots are pruned.
Rotted horse manure is used as fertilizer; chicken and pork manure are contraindicated. This is due to their high acidity. Any fresh organic matter blocks nitrogen in the soil, thereby inhibiting the growth of flowers. The first time fertilizer is applied before planting the buds. Calcium nitrate is suitable (1 tbsp per 10 liters of water). During the period of active growth, feed with infused liquid mullein, mineral supplements or herbal infusions. Frequency - once every 2 weeks.

From mid-summer all fertilizing is stopped and watering is reduced to a minimum. The plant needs to go into a dormant state, which serves as preparation for wintering.

5 Reproduction

Roses can be propagated by seed and vegetative methods. The first option is in little demand, since it does not retain varietal characteristics. Therefore, it is used more often in relation to wild representatives. The seeds are collected when the fruits turn red. The raw materials are first stratified in moistened sand and kept until spring at a temperature of +3...+4°C. In spring, the seeds are treated with a stimulant and planted in open ground. The top is mulched with humus. After some time, the plantings are thinned out, distributing the bushes at a distance of 10–15 cm from each other. In summer, mineral fertilizers are applied. It is grown until next August, then used as a rootstock.

The most successful method of propagation is by cuttings, along with grafting and dividing the bush:

Method name	Description	Image
Summer cuttings	In the morning or evening, cut off strong shoots with slight lignification. Cuttings 13–15 cm long are prepared. Several leaves and 2–3 live buds are left on each. The lower part is cleared of foliage. The bottom is treated with a growth stimulator, the cutting is immersed in water, where pink petals are placed. Planted directly into the soil, previously sprayed with potassium permanganate. Cover the top with a glass cap to create greenhouse conditions. Optimal temperature regime during the day - not lower than +25°C, at night +19…+20°C
Rooting in potatoes	The most popular and easy way reproduction. In this way, the cuttings are saturated with carbohydrates and starch from potatoes. In a light area, dig a ditch about 15 cm deep and fill it with sand to a third of the volume. The cuttings are first stuck into the potatoes 10–12 cm and placed in the prepared recess. Further manipulations are standard: cover with a cap, after a while hardening is carried out. Once every 5 days, water with sugar syrup
Reproduction in a package	The bottom of the cuttings is moistened with aloe juice, then deepened into a lump of earth embedded in plastic bag. Close hermetically, after releasing the air from inside. Hang it on the window for germination. A month later, when young roots appear, they are planted in open ground.
Rooting in water	Freshly cut stems, divided into cuttings, are immersed in distilled water. Before this, thorns and other vegetation are removed from the surface. Change the water regularly until the cuttings take root.
Vaccination	Reproduction by grafting is suitable for young rose hips. The procedure is carried out in mid-summer. First, the lateral branches of the rootstock are removed, and the root collar is cleared of soil. An incision is made in the shape of the letter T, where the cutting is placed. Fix it in place in any way. After 15–20 days, the kidney is checked: if it is swollen, then the vaccination was successful. If it is black, then the method was unsuccessful. Before the onset of winter frosts, grafted roses are planted 5–6 cm above the grafting site. In the spring, the soil is raked. The plant is pruned above the graft. When pulling, pinch the top above the third leaf
Dividing the bush	Suitable for ungrafted varieties of roses. In the spring, before the buds open, the bush is dug up and divided into parts. Each should consist of roots and shoots. Bare areas are powdered with crushed coal. Then they are seated in separate places in the garden.
By layering	With the onset of the first spring warmth, a low-lying shoot on the bush is chosen. Bend it to the ground and place it in a dug hole. First, a circular cut is made on the surface. Secure the shoot in place and sprinkle it with earth. Further care is moistening until the cuttings take root. The next year, the baby is separated from the maternal source and planted separately

6 Diseases and pests

Most roses are endowed with stable immunity to many diseases, but this does not exclude the possibility of damage. The most common diseases are:

Rust - the peak of the disease is observed in the spring. Brown spots appear on the leaf surface, and orange clusters of spores appear on the inside, which turn black by the end of summer. Unauthorized leaf fall begins, the stems acquire a brown tint. The situation can be corrected by watering with a decoction of field ivy. The affected areas are removed.
Black spotting - appears in August, towards the end of the month. The leaves instantly become covered with black areas surrounded by yellow. Gradually this spreads to the stems. Leaves fall. If appropriate measures are not taken in time, the flowers die. Treatment is the same as for rust damage.
Powdery mildew - a whitish coating forms on the leaves and shoots, then sagging forms. The disease is characteristic of varieties that are grown in greenhouses and at home. The disease is characterized by rapid spread. Plants showing signs of damage are cut off and destroyed. The ground is sprinkled with ash and dug up.

The most dangerous insect pests are aphids. spider mite. With few attacks, you can destroy the first pest manually or wash the leaves with soapy water. If there are a lot of insects, then treatment with insecticidal preparations helps. The tick is combated by applying tobacco or wormwood infusion. If care is not taken properly, cases of attacks by thrips, sawflies and cicadas are observed.

If there is a lack of nitrogen in the soil, the plant turns yellow. The spread begins from below and is accompanied by the falling of leaves. The same thing happens with the top. If the foliage turns yellow only at the edges, this indicates a lack of potassium. Yellow veins indicate a low amount of microelements.

7 Design

Most people are accustomed to planting roses in separate flower beds, but modern trends in landscape design have made their own adjustments. It is fashionable to combine them with perennial flowering crops or low-growing shrubs.

To design mixborders, it is recommended to take varieties of musky representatives due to their brightness and proportional shape of the bushes. Low varieties with small flowers are ideal. Then they do not dominate their neighbors, but merge harmoniously into beautiful composition. Unpretentious varieties are best placed in unfavorable areas of the garden, and they will effectively decorate fences and terraces climbing roses.

Having even a small country cottage area, few people can refuse to plant roses. What can we say about the luxurious territories of the majority country houses! The variety of varieties, shades and sizes of these flowers allows you to create an amazing garden that can become the envy of guests and a paradise for you. However, first you will have quite earthly concerns and questions: how to plant roses in autumn or spring, what varieties to choose, how to plant and care for seedlings correctly.

Rosary of different varieties

General points about planting roses in the garden

Each variety of these beautiful flowers has its own characteristics regarding planting in open ground, subsequent care, flowering, fertilization and wintering. For this reason, it is impossible to unequivocally answer the question of how to plant roses, but it is quite possible to identify some general points and fundamental differences between their main varieties.

Planting a seedling

Planting season: autumn or spring

There are no fundamental differences between planting roses in spring and autumn, but spring planting has some advantages.

Suitable for beginners. Over the summer, the seedlings will get stronger and will meet the winter cold with full strength. For inexperienced gardeners, such help from the weather is a good help in growing fancy species.
There is time for the plants to acclimatize. If the roses are not grafted in your climate zone, then before frost they will have time to adapt to new conditions.
Spring seedlings are better quality planting material. At this time of year they are in their “very juice”, characterized by a developed and healthy root system.

Roses need a lot of light

Autumn planting of roses carries the risk of seedlings dying from severe or early frosts and acquiring overexposed material with a weak root system.

Choosing a place for flowers

When choosing a place for roses, you should be guided by their growing conditions and the characteristics of the garden (area, topography, etc.). The first include:

Good lighting. It is necessary for abundant flowering and active growth of plants. It is recommended to avoid planting on the south side in direct sunlight. They are often destructive for roses.
No strong winds. If this is not possible, based on the climate, then the façade of a house, trees and shrubs, or an outbuilding can provide protection for plants.
Suitable soil. Perfect option- loam, but with proper fertilization, your roses will thrive on both sandy and clay soils.

Good lighting is the key to abundant flowering

As for how to choose a place for roses depending on the style and features garden plot, then everything is relatively simple here. Roses should be visible. And not just to be seen somewhere in the distance, but to be on the front line - where they will receive due admiration for their beauty. These are braided facades, rose gardens on the site in front residential building, decorating the main path leading to it from the gate with flowers. Don’t forget about recreational areas and small architectural forms.

Density of planting of seedlings

The result you get in 1–3 years depends on the density of planting roses. What should you be guided by when measuring the distance between seedlings?

The size of adult plants. The larger they are, the less frequently they should be planted. However, under all favorable conditions, even proven varieties may deviate slightly from expected size or growth rates.
The principle of reasonableness. Excessively dense planting will lead to the fact that most shoots will experience a catastrophic lack of light. The other extreme is too much distance between seedlings. This threatens the rapid drying out of the soil and the growth of weeds.
Quality of planting material. If it is in doubt, then planting should be done in smaller increments.

Preparing the soil for the rose garden

The work at this stage consists of digging up the soil and adding fertilizers to it. After preparing the soil for roses, wait 3-4 weeks and then start planting them. You can't do it right away. After a couple of heavy waterings or rains, the soil will noticeably settle, and the root system of the seedling will rise. This risks freezing during cold weather.

The main components of nutritious soil for roses are humus, compost and turf or garden soil. Depending on the type of soil, clay (dry, in powder form) or sand is added to this mixture.

for sandy areas – 2:2:1:1 (clay, turf soil, humus, compost). Clay is a binding component that retains moisture in the soil, preventing it from drying out excessively between waterings;
for clayey soils – 6:1:1:1 (sand, humus, compost, turf soil). Sand, on the contrary, plays the role of a loosening agent, improving the throughput of clay for water and air.

It will greatly facilitate the preparation of soil for a rose garden by using vermicompost instead of the three main components of the nutrient mixture. After its preparation, planting holes are dug. Their depth and width are approximately equal and are about 60 cm. The finished hole is filled 2/3 with fertilizer, and then with dug earth.

Planting roses in the garden

First of all, pay attention to the seedlings. Before planting, they must be pruned, removing damaged roots, the weakest shoots, and buds. It is recommended to leave 3-4 healthy branches with 2-3 eyes.

It is important! The roots of the seedlings should not be dry before planting, so they are pre-soaked in water. Depending on the condition of the root system, this will take from 2 to 10 hours. A growth stimulator can be added to the water.

Soaking seedlings

General rules for laying out a rosary

A small mound of soil is formed in the planting hole and the seedling is lowered onto it. Please note: when planting, the place where the rose is grafted should be buried about 5 cm into the ground. It is at this level that the seedling is held during the work.

Burying the seedling

All roots are carefully laid and straightened so that they do not bend upward. Then the hole is filled with soil and lightly trampled down. After planting, the rose must be watered abundantly so that the soil shrinks slightly and excess air escapes. If necessary, add soil on top.

Watering roses after planting

The next stage is hilling the flower by sprinkling it with soil at the roots. Such an earthen roller (about 20 cm in height) will protect a weak plant from wind, scorching sun or the first slight cold. After two weeks, the seedling can be “released”. During this time he will become quite strong.

Hilling a rose

Some gardeners additionally cover the surface of the earth around the flower with mulch (sawdust, pine needles, humus, sand), which allows it to be maintained optimal humidity, temperature. The looseness of the soil is also maintained and subsidence from watering and precipitation is prevented.

This is a general scheme for planting rose seedlings, but some species have their own characteristics.

Features of planting bush roses and caring for them

For bush varieties relevant general rules planting roses, however, there are some nuances of care. Firstly, for bush roses it is recommended to use foliar feeding. Secondly, due to the proximity of the root system and shoots to the surface of the earth, regular and thorough removal of weeds is necessary.

Shrub roses

Thirdly, for such roses it is especially important to have strong branches capable of producing flowers. All weak shoots growing in the center of the bush are pruned. Please note: in order for the plants to gain strength, all buds are also removed in the first year after planting.

Planting and caring for climbing varieties

The peculiarities of planting and caring for a climbing rose are related to its ability to entwine various supports, be it the facade of a house or a decorative lattice or fence. So, to create a dense pink canvas, seedlings must be planted not in holes, but in a trench. The distance between them is usually 40–60 cm.

Climbing roses in facade decoration

If a climbing rose is planted near a building, then its foundation is additionally waterproofed. This measure prevents the destruction of concrete from abundant watering of the plant.

Climbing varieties require regular pruning. It is carried out in the spring and after each flowering. For the winter, all shoots are bent to the ground, covered with spruce branches and covered wooden houses. If it is not possible to bend down all the shoots, then they are covered directly on the support.

Standard rose

Planting standard roses

The peculiarities of planting and caring for standard roses are due to the fact that in appearance they resemble small trees with a clearly defined trunk and crown. They need a big one landing pit than other species, since their root system is more powerful. The distance between seedlings is usually 100–120 cm.

The most unusual thing about planting standard varieties is burying the seedlings in the ground at an angle of 30–40 degrees. This is done so that the plant can be bent to the ground for the winter.

Standard roses along the path

The crown also needs special attention. After planting the seedling, the growth of buds on the shoots is stimulated, while protecting the plant. To do this, the crown is covered with moss and covered for 10–14 days. Subsequently, with the help of pruning, it is given the optimal shape for this variety.

It is obvious that Rose is a rather capricious young lady. A huge amount of work will be required - from preparatory theoretical aspects to practical care for a rooted seedling, but the result is worth it. You can surround yourself with the beauty of the most luxurious and amazing flowers, which trace their history back to the times of Ancient Rome!

All experienced gardeners believe that planting roses in the fall is the most suitable option for the best rooting of these luxurious flowers and creating favorable conditions for growth. In autumn, there are no temperature changes, humidity is stabilized, and there is no need to provide plants with constant watering. Another significant advantage of autumn planting is the opportunity to purchase healthy seedlings, rather than weakened and exhausted specimens after winter. To grow the “queen of flowers”, you need to decide on the optimal time for planting, choose seedlings that can adapt to any weather, and follow simple rules for caring for a rose.

The period from early autumn to mid-October is the right time to plant roses. You should not plant too early - shoots and buds will begin to sprout, and the plant will not survive the winter cold. Planting dates depend on the climate characteristics of the region. In order for the plant to have time to strengthen the root system and successfully overwinter, it is recommended to plant roses 2 - 3 weeks before the onset of frost.

Features of planting seedlings in autumn

Simple rules for planting roses will help you grow beautiful flowers even for inexperienced gardeners:

The most important thing when planting roses is to provide an acceptable distance for the flowers to develop.
Choose a place that is lit, but protected from the scorching rays of the sun at midday. If planted in shaded areas of the garden, the rose may die, and direct midday Sun rays leaves will burn. It is recommended to root the seedlings in the south-eastern or western side of the garden, so that at noon the shadow covers the roses, and in the morning the sun caresses the flowers with its warm rays.
You need to plant it on a slope at an elevation of 30–40 cm. In this case, the plant will overwinter even in severe winter frosts, and in the spring melt water will bypass these beautiful flowers.
Humidity should be taken into account when planting. Excessive moisture levels will negatively affect roses. The most optimal soil acidity is 6.0 – 6.5 pH.
It is not recommended to select land for planting on which cherry, hawthorn, apricot and other rosaceous plants grew.
Planting roses in the ground in the fall is done in warm, windless weather.
Seedlings need to be selected with a developed root system, a number of shoots of at least 3 pieces and a diameter of the upper root of 8 - 10 cm. Gently scratch the root with your fingernail - it should have an elastic structure and a white tint.

Preparation of seedlings

Before planting, seedlings need to be soaked in water for 10 hours. After soaking, the roots are cut to 20 cm, and damaged ones are removed. All dry branches should also be eliminated, and the rest should be trimmed to healthy shoots. For better rooting, you can dip the plants in a solution of clay and mullein with one tablet of heteroauxin.

Planting process

If you follow a simple algorithm for planting roses in the fall, even the most fastidious specimens will be pleased with the blooming buds in the spring:

Clear the area of weeds.
Dig up the soil half a meter, adding fertilizer (1.5 kg of rotted manure or compost for each seedling). Add the ash and mineral fertilizers.
The planting hole should be wide and deep - 60 by 50 cm. It is recommended to prepare it in the spring, or at least 2 - 3 weeks in advance. 10 days before planting, the holes are filled with water and humus is added.
Place the seedling so that the thickening between the rhizome and branches is 2 - 3 cm below ground level. Compact the soil so that the roots are firmly in contact with the ground.
Water the rose generously. If the soil has settled after absorbing water, add soil mixture on top.
Do not plant flowers too densely - this can provoke diseases in the plants and they will not gain color well. It is also not recommended to form them too rarely - the soil around the bushes will dry out.

How to care for a rose after planting?

After the first night frosts, it is worth taking care of covering material to make the planted rose more comfortable to survive the long winter. Below are recommendations on how to cover plants for the winter:

Cover the soil with fir branches.
Sprinkle dry leaves, shavings, sawdust on top in a layer of 15–20 cm.
Press down the insulating layer with the remaining spruce branches.
Install arcs made of metal or plastic up to half a meter high.
Cover the frames with wrapping paper or agrofibre.
Until the temperature outside reaches -11 degrees, there should be a gap between the covering material and the arches for ventilation. If there is a threat of severe frost, the structure is tightly closed until spring.

The queen of the garden always takes pride of place in almost everyone's flower beds. experienced gardener, but not every beginner can grow a beautiful, majestic flower. In order for rose planting to be successful and avoid disappointments, you need to know the secrets and subtleties of a simple process...

When is it better to plant roses, autumn or spring?

It is commonly believed that planting bare-root roses in open ground is best done during the autumn months, in fact, this can be done in autumn, spring and summer. Planting roses in the fall is preferable for the southern regions of our country, when the autumn is warm and the roots of the plant have time to get stronger before the onset of frost. The best time is considered to be the last week of September and the first days of October, after which it is necessary. Earlier planting will give rapid growth of shoots, while the root system of roses will not fully strengthen, and most likely the plant will die.

IN middle lane Russia, northern regions and the Urals plant roses better in spring, from mid-April to the end of May, the main thing is that the buds do not begin to swell. Autumn planting of rose seedlings in these latitudes is not recommended due to the risk of poor rooting of the plant, which can lead to the death of the bush in winter.

Regardless of whether roses are planted in spring or autumn, you need to refresh the root system by slightly pruning the main roots. The ends of the roots are cut off just a little, about 70-90 millimeters, so the root system is refreshed and will grow better. Pay attention to the color of the root when cut; in a healthy root it is white, which means it is alive. Brown color indicates a dead root, you need to cut it until a white color appears.

You can plant roses in the summer; this planting method is most suitable for container roses with a well-formed root system that will not be damaged during transplantation. Roses planted in summer should be protected from direct sunlight and well watered in hot, dry weather.

How to plant roses correctly: detailed instructions

All novice flower growers and gardeners are wondering how to plant a rose in spring, autumn and summer in order to get beautiful and lush flowers next year. flowering plants. The principles of planting rose seedlings are the same for all time periods; the following steps are performed in a certain sequence:

Preparing the hole. The hole for planting seedlings should be slightly bigger size root system, but deep. Roses do not develop and grow well if there is close groundwater flow in the area, make drainage (expanded clay chips, river pebbles, broken and chipped bricks);

in the photo - preparing a hole for planting a rose

Preparation of nutritional mixture. Take one part of sand and fertile soil, add 3-4 parts of humus (you can take peat, compost), mix thoroughly. One small seedling requires one and a half to two buckets of prepared soil mixture;

in the photo - applying organic fertilizer when planting roses

The bottom of the dug hole is 1/3 of the way covered with nutrient soil so that a small mound is formed. A rose seedling is placed on the top of the mound; the roots must be straightened with the roots down. The distance between rose bushes when planting is maintained depending on the varietal characteristics, approximately 0.6-0.7 meters;

A plant placed on a hill is covered with nutritious soil.. It is important to take into account that purchased seedlings, as a rule, are grafted onto a rosehip trunk, so the grafting site during planting should be below the ground surface. With this method, the cultivated variety will take root, but the rose hips will not sprout;

in the photo - the place where the rose is grafted is below ground level

On the backfilled soil surface around the seedling a shallow circular hole is made for watering. There is a mound around the root collar, and a little further there is a groove in which there will be water;

in the photo there is a hole around the place where the rose is planted

Watering a rose after planting it should be plentiful, a large number of the liquid will fill all the voids in the soil, and the roots will be completely surrounded by soil;

in the photo - watering roses after planting

When the water is completely absorbed, we fill the sagging surface with the remnants of ordinary soil left over when digging the hole, and compact it a little;

The planted rose needs to be hilled, for this, the remaining soil mixture is taken (you can take humus, peat) and covered with a small layer. This is done to retain moisture in the soil and preserve young shoots from bright spring sun. After fourteen days, the mulch layer is removed, the cuttings may begin to grow and the root system will develop poorly. At this stage, the formation of strong roots is important;

After planting roses it is necessary bring in trimmings, leaving a pair of buds on each shoot. This should only be done in the spring, covering the cuts with garden varnish or any other product purchased in the store. If you prune a planted rose in the fall, the young shoots will most likely not ripen and will freeze in the cold season.

Now, dear readers, you know how to plant a rose, so you should approach the process carefully, with all rigor, and by following the above recommendations, planting roses will not only be easy, but also correct.

Rose is one of the most exquisite and beautiful plants, which can be grown in your garden. Planting roses must be carried out according to all the rules, and caring for them requires care and careful work, as well as some basic knowledge when choosing a seedling and a place for growing.

Main varieties of roses for growing

Plant care can vary greatly depending on the variety. The main varieties of roses with their own characteristics are described below.

Park roses

Relatively unpretentious plants, undemanding to soil and care, tolerates both heat and frost. They bloom earlier than other roses, in late spring, flowering lasts about a month. There are several main groups: rose hips, garden roses and modern hybrids that differ as appearance, and the time of flowering.

climbing roses

Roses with long shoots growing around a fulcrum. Often used to decorate fences, gazebos, columns, and decorate building facades. They are divided into three groups according to height: semi-climbing up to three meters, climbing up to five meters, climbing up to 15 meters. When caring, it is important to prune faded shoots, as well as covering them for the winter.

Ground cover roses

They stand out for their diversity and abundant flowering. Ground cover roses can bloom until fall, making them an excellent choice for suburban area or flower garden. One of the features is that it requires planting on a slope and on a hill to avoid flooding of flowers in the spring. This type of rose is unpretentious and does not require special care measures, except for abundant watering after planting.

Tea and hybrid tea roses

Flowers with a magnificent scent and varied bud colors. Among the advantages of the variety, one can highlight repeated flowering and the outstanding qualities of the flower itself: powerful stem and bulb, varied color, smell; one of the disadvantages is low resistance to heat, frost, and disease. We do not recommend starting your acquaintance with growing roses with these flowers; they require ongoing care an experienced gardener.

If your previous attempts to grow these magnificent flowers in your garden have ended in failure, or this is your first time deciding to grow these majestic flowers, our article, based on advice from professionals, will help you achieve success and avoid annoying mistakes.

Having previously familiarized yourself with the huge variety of species and varieties of roses, you can go to a nursery or a specialized store to buy seedlings. You can, of course, order them from online stores, but then you will not be able to check the condition of the plant’s root system. And this is of great importance when landing.

Video about planting roses

Seedlings in stores are sold in containers or with an open root system. The first option is better to choose if you intend to plant flowers in the summer. If planting is planned for the spring or autumn months, you can safely buy seedlings with bare roots without leaves - they are presented in a wider range and are sold cheaper.

Buying roses in a container, see if the earthen ball is densely filled with roots, if there are many shoots on the bush, and what the foliage looks like. High-quality seedlings have a developed, well-branched root system, two or three strong woody shoots and green leaves without spots. And of course, no insects should be noticeable on the seedling.

In seedlings with exposed root system Also, the roots should be well branched, light-colored when cut, not dry or damaged. Buy seedlings with strong, glossy green shoots and shiny thorns. It is desirable that the seedling has at least three good shoots, smooth and fresh to the touch. If the tips of the shoots seem a bit dry, this is normal in spring.

Seedlings in stores are sold in containers or with an open root system

Seedlings are also found in stores in thin cardboard packages with roots sprinkled with wet peat. In this case, the plants are planted in the ground without removing them from the packaging. However, be careful: in January-February, seedlings from nurseries in Holland and Poland, left over from the fall, are sold in imported paper containers. Such plants are already weakened by long-term storage, and at home it will be even more difficult to preserve them until spring. Try burying the roots in a box and placing the roses on the balcony at above-zero temperatures or in the basement.

In flower shops, roses for planting are sold in a special container or without it, with an open root system. For planting in summer, it is better to choose the first option; it will take root faster. In spring or autumn, ordinary seedlings with bare roots are also suitable: they are cheaper, and the choice of varieties among such roses is much larger.

When purchasing roses in a container, it is important to pay attention to the following details:

how many roots does a seedling have in a coma of earth;
are there any shoots, how many are there;
appearance of foliage.

A good seedling will have an extensive, dense root system, several firm shoots, and leaves that are an even green color without blemishes.

Bare-rooted seedlings must meet the same requirements. Look carefully at the roots - the cut area should be light and the roots themselves undamaged.

In stores you can find roses in cardboard packaging, ready for planting without removal. Such plants most often come from Holland and Eastern Europe, weakened by long storage and transportation. If you decide to leave the rose in a box at home until spring, bury the roots in the box and take the plant to the balcony or any sunny place with a positive temperature.

When to plant: autumn or spring

Without a doubt, autumn is the most optimal time for planting - seedlings planted in October have time to take root well before frost and immediately begin to actively grow in the spring. In addition, in the fall, nurseries offer a wide selection of grafted seedlings of various varieties, while in the spring, domestic and imported rose seedlings are significantly weakened after winter storage.

Autumn is the best time to plant roses

But keep in mind that self-rooted seedlings (obtained by cuttings), which are sold only in containers, cannot be planted in the fall! Their root system is not sufficiently developed, and under unfavorable conditions, the flowers will die in the first winter. Such seedlings can be transplanted from a container into the ground from May to mid-summer.

Preparing for landing

The best time for planting will be mid-autumn: the seedlings have time to take root and begin to grow in the spring. In autumn there is also more choice, while in spring only plants weakened after storage remain on sale.

It is not recommended to use container seedlings in the spring - they are propagated by cuttings; a weak root system will not withstand spring temperature changes and will not survive the winter. Plants in containers are planted from May to July so that they have time to take root.

Rose is a capricious plant; when planting, consider the following factors:

The rose blooms best in a little shade far from large trees and places where water accumulates. The soil should be neutral: loamy soil should be fertilized with manure and sand, and mineral fertilizers should be added to sandy soil.

Best growing conditions

Unlike roses, you can’t plant them wherever you have to. As true queens of the flower garden, they should occupy the best place! When choosing where to plant seedlings, take into account the following important points:

flowers grow poorly in the shade;
“in the heat” their color fades and flowering ends faster;
drafts and dampness are contraindicated for roses, and dry hot air can quickly spread spider mites on plants;
It is not recommended to grow flowers under the crowns of trees, since the air remains damp there for a long time after rain, and raindrops fall from above at the slightest breath of wind.

Cold and damp loamy soil should be improved with rotted manure and sand.

It is better to plant roses in a place where at lunchtime a light openwork shadow will fall on the flowers, and water will not stagnate in the ground. Groundwater is allowed to lie no higher than one meter from the surface.

As for the soil, it should be neutral (add high-moor peat to alkaline soil, and lime to acidic soil), deeply drained and fertile. Cold and damp loamy soil should be improved with rotted manure and sand. In addition to manure, it is recommended to add stone flour and mineral fertilizers to quickly drying sandy loam soil.

Brief instructions for planting roses

First of all, for each seedling you will need to dig a hole of such a size that the root system of the roses fits freely in it, and the roots do not break or bend. It is recommended to maintain a distance of 80 cm between pits, and one to two meters between rows.

When planting roses in the spring, the soil removed from the hole should be mixed with compost - it will be useful to the plants within a few weeks. There is no need to apply organic fertilizers during autumn planting.

When planting roses in spring, the soil removed from the hole should be mixed with compost

Procedure for landing:

You can prepare planting holes in advance to allow the soil to compact, but it is also possible to plant roses in freshly dug holes, and then dig them up a little and “pull them up” to the required level.

Video about planting roses from cuttings

If for some reason you cannot immediately plant the purchased seedlings with bare roots, their roots can be dipped in water for several days or wrapped in damp burlap and wrapped plastic film. To save for more long term The roots wrapped in film should be buried in a shallow groove, compacting the soil tightly.

Nuances of care

Roses, regardless of variety, require thorough watering two to three times a week in the morning or evening. Watering is carried out at the root, until the soil is completely saturated with moisture. At the beginning of autumn, in the absence of drought, roses stop watering to avoid the appearance of young shoots before the onset of winter.

When watering during the day, water that gets on the leaves can cause burns. The best time for watering is considered to be early morning or late evening, when the soil has dried a few centimeters deep.

It is important to carry out annual formative and rejuvenating pruning, removing stems three years old and above, clearing the plant of small shoots and non-flowering branches. Before the onset of winter, the bushes are hilled up and the branches are wrapped in paper.

It is preferable to plant roses in the fall in regions with mild winters, and in regions with a harsh climate, roses are planted in open ground mainly in the spring. However, when growing cut roses, it is recommended to plant a plantation in the fall to allow roses of the first and second waves of cut flowers to bloom earlier than those planted in the spring. For standard roses, spring planting is desirable.

In autumn, roses in the middle zone are planted in the ground from mid-September to mid-October. Earlier planting and warm autumn have an unfavorable effect on seedlings, whose dormant buds may awaken. More late boarding and very cold autumns increase the likelihood that rose seedlings will not have time to take root and will suffer from frost in the winter.

Roses love the sun, warmth and open air space, so for a rose garden they choose an area facing south (with a slight slope for melt water to drain) and protected from cold winds, where groundwater is deeper than 1 m. In areas with excess soil moisture, a good drainage and rose garden are made slightly raised to create favorable conditions for the roots. Close proximity of roses to other plants and close proximity to the walls of houses is undesirable.

Roses require fertile, loose, well-seasoned organic fertilizers, moderately moist soils. The fertile layer should be at least 40 cm. In most cases, these are medium-heavy - clay with sand, or sandy with clay soils, with a slightly acidic pH of 6.5-7. If the soil at the site of the future rose garden is poor, fertile soil is prepared for planting roses: loamy soil or clay, compost, humus or well-decomposed manure - cow, horse or chicken droppings (unrotted manure cannot be used, it causes root rot in roses), mineral fertilizers (the amount of fertilizer depends on the quality of the soil). It is advisable to prepare a fertile mixture several weeks before planting roses: the soil must be mixed with organic matter in a 1:1 ratio, add a small amount of ash or lime, bone meal (150 g per sq.m.). To plant roses, dig holes 40 cm in diameter and 50-70 cm deep, or dig trenches of the same depth and width, oriented from north to south for better illumination. If the area is sandy, a layer of clay about 7 cm thick is placed on the bottom to prevent the soil from drying out; and if the site has heavy clay soil, heavy gravel sand is poured onto the bottom to prevent waterlogging of the soil. The holes and trenches are filled with previously prepared fertile soil and roses are planted.

High-quality rose seedlings must have well-branched roots with many thin roots and at least three well-developed, intact shoots; The diameter of the scion and rootstock should be the same (5-8 mm). Seedlings with an open root system are soaked in water a day before planting. Before planting, remove leaves from rose shoots and cut out immature and broken shoots with sharp pruning shears. The above-ground part is shortened to 30-35 cm, long roots - to 25-30 cm, cutting out the rotten roots to a healthy place. The buds located below the grafting site are removed - wild shoots will develop from them. Seedlings are disinfected by spraying with 3% iron sulfate. The roots of roses are dipped in a clay mash with mullein (2:1) of a creamy consistency. Park roses planted according to the scheme 75x100 cm for group plantings and 1.5x2 m for row plantings, Hybrid Tea - 40x60 cm, large-flowered Polyantha roses and Floribunda - 30x50 cm, small-flowered Polyantha roses - 30x40 cm, Remontant roses - 40x70 cm; between climbing roses maintain a distance of 50 to 100 cm.

In cold regions, rose bushes are placed less often to better warm the soil and aerate the plantings to avoid fungal diseases of roses. When growing cut roses, the plantation is planted in the fall according to a thickened pattern with double rows: the distance between bushes is 25 cm, between double rows is 30 cm, row spacing is 50 cm. With such an economical placement of roses, caring for the bushes is easier and the flower stalks are lengthened; the bushes stretch out a little, stop growing in time in the fall, and the wood has time to ripen well by winter. In grafted roses, when planting, the graft turns to the south; it should be 3 cm (on light soils - 5 cm) below the soil surface for good rooting and to protect the roots from freezing in winter.

in autumn spray roses planted a little deeper than they grew in the nursery to prevent the seedlings from bulging from frost; Climbing roses go deeper to form additional roots. When planting, the roots are evenly spread in all directions and covered with fertile soil so that it fits tightly to the roots and there are no air cavities. The compacted soil is watered abundantly in several doses at the rate of 1-2 buckets of water per bush; after moisture is absorbed, the surface is covered with dry soil and holes are made around the plants for watering. To prevent the shoots of planted roses from drying out and suffering from the approaching cold weather, the roses are covered with peat or soil with sand to a height of 20 cm. When the temperature drops to sub-zero temperatures, the roses are covered for the winter.

If rose seedlings have already been purchased and the deadline favorable landing expires, and the weather has suddenly deteriorated, there is no need to plant roses haphazardly, it is better to keep them buried in greenhouses, cold basements or storage facilities at zero temperature until spring. In open ground, seedlings are buried in a trench about 40 cm deep in a high area without stagnant melt water. Prepared rose seedlings are placed in a trench in an inclined position, sand is poured onto the root collars, and then the trench is tightly filled with earth. With the establishment of stable frosts, the seedlings are covered with spruce branches and covered with peat and snow on top.
