Caring for roses at home. House roses: description of species and secrets of care at home. Home rose in spring

It is not without reason that the rose is called the queen of flowers, because it pleasantly pleases the eye with its lush bright inflorescences. At the same time, it is quite demanding on growing conditions. Caring for roses includes not only growing flowers in the garden, but also at home. Indoor roses, like garden varieties, require attention: regular watering, fertilizing and loosening the soil.

From this article you will learn how to properly care for different types roses in the garden and in a city apartment, and photos and videos will help you quickly master the necessary skills.

Indoor rose: care at home

Indoor roses are considered to be quite fastidious crops, and all measures taken to care for them should be taken responsibly. Firstly, they require regular feeding and watering. Secondly, they need good lighting, but without exposure to direct sunlight.

In addition, caring for the culture at home includes regular replanting. Since this plant is developing quite actively, the flower needs to be replanted in pots bigger size as you grow.

Peculiarities

If you know how to properly care for indoor plants and what features should be taken into account when growing, you can decorate your home with a lush and beautiful plant.

The main feature of indoor varieties is that they react negatively to sudden temperature fluctuations (Figure 1). In summer, the room should not be too hot, and in winter it is advisable to protect the plant from drafts. In addition, the plant will react negatively to cold water when watering.


Figure 1. Basic rules for caring for indoor varieties

After flowering, you need to remove all dry flowers and buds. They have no decorative value, but take away from the plant the juices necessary for growth. When replanting, great care must be taken, since the roots of the plant are very sensitive and are easily injured.

Basic Rules

If you bought an indoor rose, try to provide it good care at home. There is no need to immediately transplant it into a new pot. The plant needs to adapt to its new home, so at first it is better for the flower to grow in an old pot.

Note: In order for the culture to quickly get used to a new place, it is better to place it on a south or south-east window sill.

Plants are responsive to spraying, so in the evening you can moisten the leaves of the plant with boiled water room temperature. But in hot summers, this procedure should be carried out with caution so as not to cause burns to the leaves.

Another mandatory step in care is feeding. You can use a liquid solution of mullein for this purpose. During the flowering period, fertilizer is applied weekly, and at other times - once every two weeks.

Problems

The main problems during cultivation are related to the fact that this crop is quite demanding in terms of living conditions. For example, if a flower does not receive enough sunlight, it will stop growing and flowering. Therefore, you should try to place the pot in well-lit places, but exposure to direct sunlight should be moderate.

In addition, indoor roses are often exposed to diseases and pests. These flowers are often infected with powdery mildew. To combat the disease, spray with a soda solution (two teaspoons of soda per liter of water). Spraying must be done very carefully so that the solution does not get on the soil. It is better to cover the soil during processing. They are also often inhabited by spider mites, and special preparations - acaricides - are used to combat them.

Trimming

The flowering of indoor varieties largely depends on how regularly pruning is done (Figure 2).

All diseased, dry or damaged branches and shoots are removed immediately. If they withered due to illness, you can prevent the spread of the disease, and if the cause was Not proper care- the plant will receive more nutrients for normal development.


Figure 2. Features of pruning indoor roses

After flowering is completed, all faded buds and inflorescences are also removed. They take away the nutrients the plant needs to recover after the active growing season.

Caring for roses in the spring at the dacha

For long-term flowering, plants need proper care: regular pruning and fertilizing, removal of wild growth from grafted plants, mulching and prevention against pests and diseases. One-year-old plants are especially carefully cared for, as this will later affect the quality of the flower.

Young seedlings must be shaped so that in the future the bush will be symmetrical. To do this, pinching is carried out after the appearance of the fourth leaf. In addition, in the first year after planting the bush, all buds are cut off as soon as they reach the size of a pea. This stimulates the formation of new stems and makes the bush symmetrical. In August, the formation is stopped and the bush is given the opportunity to bloom. Figure 3 shows basic guidelines for pruning bushes.

Note: Without pinching shoots and buds, the plant will bloom. This will weaken it and the bush will not grow well.

Pinching is not carried out for climbing, semi-climbing, ground cover and park varieties. However, this procedure is also necessary for adult crops to limit growth. In order for the bush to bloom beautifully, young shoots that drown out the central part of the bush must be cut off.


Figure 3. Recommendations for pruning rose bushes

An important step is also pruning. Unlike wild varieties, this procedure is carried out annually for garden varieties to stimulate growth and more. abundant flowering.

There are several types of pruning:

  • Spring (main) helps to properly form the bush, stimulates abundant flowering and the formation of young shoots.
  • Summer performs the function of regulating flowering. For varieties that produce buds several times, after the first flowering period, all inflorescences are removed along with the upper part of the stem. The cut is made above the second or third leaf with a well-developed bud. This saves juices and stimulates the formation of new shoots and leaves. Summer pruning is not carried out only for those varieties that bloom once and form beautiful fruits, or for those from which it is planned to collect seeds. In summer, excess stems are also cut off, drowning out the central part of the bush. During the last flowering, faded buds are not removed, as this may cause unwanted autumn growth.
  • Autumn done immediately before sheltering for the winter. Remove all leaves, fruits and buds, as well as cut out all weak and diseased shoots.

In addition, there is weak, medium and strong pruning. Corresponding examples are shown in Figure 4. After winter, the flowers are re-inspected and all dead parts are removed. After this, the main pruning begins. For this:

  1. Choose 4-5 strong and healthy shoots, located symmetrically. All weak, thin and muffling ones are removed. The remaining branches are shortened a little.
  2. Plants with flower buds located at the top of the stems do not need pruning.
  3. For park species, only old and diseased stems are removed, while for climbing species, all shoots are removed except for 5-6 annual ones. But if there are too few of them, you can leave some of the old ones, shortening them by about half.
  4. Hybrid tea and polyanthus are pruned heavily, leaving only 3-4 buds at the bottom.

Those plants that did not survive the winter well also need severe pruning. In general, the intensity depends on the variety and vigor of the bush.

For pruning, use only sharp pruning shears. If the tool is blunt, it will crush and tear the stems. An uneven cut can become infected and the flower will die. The cut should be positioned at an angle so that water drains from it, since stagnant liquid can become a source of infection. Before pruning, tools are disinfected in a warm solution of potassium permanganate, and the cut is treated with garden varnish.


Figure 4. Main types of pruning: a - weak, b - medium, c - strong, d - removal of wild growth at the root level

In grafted plants, wild growth sometimes appears below the grafting site. It can be identified by its thorns and smaller leaves. Such shoots must be removed, as they can lead to the death of the plant. To do this, dig up the ground around the bush a little and remove the growth at the level of the buds located in the ground. If this is not done and pruning is done at ground level, wild buds will throw out several young shoots at once. General recommendations for pruning are given in the video.

In spring, regular watering of the bushes begins. Young seedlings that have just been planted are watered once every two days, and those that have already taken root - as the soil dries out (about once a week).

Note: The intensity of watering adult plants depends on the variety, weather and the ability of the soil to retain moisture.

It is especially important to water regularly during flowering and bud formation. If there is not enough liquid, the flowers will be small or begin to crumble. Do not use cold water in hot weather. As a result, the roots lose their ability to absorb moisture and the plant experiences prolonged water starvation.

Note: It is advisable to water with melt or rain water, as it contains less mineral salts. In addition, these flowers tolerate rare but abundant watering better. Frequent application of liquid in small quantities provokes the formation of superficial roots, which are easily damaged during loosening and weaken the plant.

To properly water the crop, make a small hole around the bush and surround it with an earthen roller. Externally, the hole resembles a bowl and prevents water from flowing out when watering. To water one bush, 10 liters of water will be enough. However, in the fall the amount of water is gradually reduced, and then completely stopped. It is important to ensure that the liquid does not get on the flowers and leaves. Also, water the roses better in the morning(Figure 5). You will learn more recommendations on watering from the video.

After each watering, the soil around the bush is loosened to a depth of 5 cm. This allows not only to remove weeds, but also to provide better access of air and water to the roots. The soil is loosened carefully so as not to accidentally damage the roots.

After loosening and watering the soil, it is necessary to mulch.


Figure 5. Proper watering rose bushes

During it, the soil around the treated bushes is covered with loose organic soil with a layer of no more than 8 cm. This manipulation has the following positive features (Figure 6):

  • Allows you to preserve and prevent loss of moisture in the soil during summer droughts;
  • The amount of weeding and loosening is significantly reduced;
  • Protects plants from drying out and overheating during hot and windy weather;
  • Prevents soil from silting during heavy rains.

Shredded tree bark, straw, compost, peat or rotted manure can be used as mulch. All these substances not only protect the soil, but also saturate it with useful elements.

Note: It is not recommended to use grass or sawdust, as they may contain weed seeds and pathogens.

As a rule, mulching is carried out in April or May, but sometimes the soil can be covered with mulch in the fall, but before the ground cools. Before mulching, be sure to remove all weeds. After the mulch rots, it is mixed with top layer soil and mulch again.


Figure 6. Loosening and mulching of garden varieties

Roses respond very well to fertilizing. For example, you can use foliar fertilizers, which are applied to the leaves by spraying. The positive effect is noticeable within a few hours. Thanks to the use of this fertilizer, the general form, and the flowers become larger.

In the first year after planting, there is no need for additional fertilizing, provided that fertilizers were added to the soil during planting. After pinching, it is advisable to add liquid to the soil. organic fertilizers. In the future, they need feeding annually. As a rule, mineral and organic fertilizers are applied alternately, 6-7 times a year.

Each element included in fertilizers has a positive effect:

  • Nitrogen accelerates the growth of leaves and stems;
  • Phosphorus accelerates flowering and strengthens roots;
  • Potassium improves the quality of buds and flowers;
  • Magnesium, calcium and other microelements improve overall health.

Full mineral fertilizer is applied in the spring, when the shelter is removed from the roses for the winter. In summer, both mineral and organic fertilizers are applied. This will have a positive effect on flowering. In late summer and early fall, reduce nitrogen to slow growth before winter dormancy. Common types of fertilizers are shown in Figure 7.

Roses are delicate garden plants that do not tolerate frost well and need shelter for the winter.

Note: Park species are considered the most winter-hardy. They do not need to be covered, but only covered with a layer of earth 20 cm high.

To increase winter hardiness, reduce the number of waterings in the fall, and replace nitrogen fertilizers with phosphorus and potassium fertilizers. In rainy weather, drainage grooves are dug around the bushes to drain excess liquid, which can damage the roots.


Figure 7. Popular types of fertilizers (from left to right): liquid, organic and mineral

In order for roses to survive the winter well, with the onset of the first frost, all young, fragile shoots, buds and leaves are removed. If left, they will rot during the winter and become a source of disease. For additional prevention, the bushes are sprayed with a solution Bordeaux mixture. Climbing and semi-climbing varieties are pinned to the ground, laid on pine branches (Figure 8). Additionally, each bush is hilled to protect the roots from frost. Examples of shelters for roses are shown in Figure 9.

Note: Roses are covered only after the onset of stable night frosts. Rare drops in temperature do not harm the bushes, but only increase their winter hardiness.

For high-quality shelter for the winter, use the air-dry method:

  • A wire or wooden frame about half a meter high;
  • A layer of insulation (for example, roofing felt) is laid on top and on the sides;
  • Cover the top with a layer of plastic film.

Figure 8. Shelters for climbing and semi-climbing varieties

In such a shelter, the plants will be reliably protected from the cold. The ends are left open and covered only after the temperature drops to minus 15 degrees.

Winter shelters can be completely removed only after the ground has completely warmed up and in the absence of night frosts. But you cannot open them too late, since the increased temperature under the film can lead to the death of the plants.

For better adaptation, the opening is carried out gradually:

  • First, snow is removed from the film and drainage grooves are dug around the bushes to drain melt water;
  • After this, they begin to do short-term ventilation, opening the end parts in warm weather;
  • Next, you should make a hole in the top of the shelter;
  • When the ground has completely thawed, it is loosened.

Figure 9. Options winter shelters for rose bushes

After the soil has warmed up by 15-20 cm, they begin to gradually remove the cover, opening first the ends, then the top and sides. To prevent roses from getting sunburn, it is better to remove the cover on cloudy days or in the late afternoon.

Open bushes must be shaded, and the roots are unearthed only after the earth has completely warmed up. After this, weak and diseased stems are removed, and they are also sprayed with a solution of Bordeaux mixture for prevention.

How to care for an indoor rose in a pot

Hybrid tea, remontant and polyanthus varieties are usually used as indoor roses. In fact, these are the same garden varieties, but smaller in size.

As with growing in the garden, roses kept at home require proper care: good lighting, regular watering and fertilizing. In addition, it is necessary to maintain optimal temperature and humidity conditions (Figure 10).

The soil

The soil in which it is grown indoor rose, should be nutritious, but not heavy. It is important that air constantly flows to the roots of the plant, so the soil in the pot must be loosened regularly.

If you plan to transplant a flower into a new container, it is better to buy special soil for indoor roses. This substrate is balanced in its main components and does not contain pest larvae or pathogens.

Lighting

I love indoor roses very much sunlight. Therefore, they can be safely placed on a well-lit southern windowsill. However, it should be borne in mind that in hot weather the leaves of the plant should not be sprayed during the day, as this can cause burns to delicate tissues.


Figure 10. Caring for roses in a pot

In winter, the length of daylight hours extends artificially. To do this, install fluorescent lamps near the flower and leave them on so that the daylight hours are at least 12 hours.

Temperature

Despite the love for good lighting, indoor varieties very sensitive to temperature conditions. They do not like extreme heat and cold, so in the room where the rose pot is located, it is necessary to maintain a moderate temperature (no more than +20 degrees).

During the rest period, which lasts from October to February, the indicators drop to +5+8 degrees. This is necessary so that the rose gets stronger and does not awaken prematurely.

Air humidity

Along with temperature conditions and demands on soil, indoor roses are very responsive to air humidity. To do this, the leaves are sprayed with boiled water at room temperature (up to two times a day).

Spraying is carried out in the morning and evening so that water that gets on the leaves does not cause burns. Spraying is carried out with special care in hot weather.

Chinese rose: home care

Chinese rose, or hibiscus, is an ornamental shrub with beautiful flowers different shades. Despite the fact that the inflorescences fade after just a few days, the bush constantly produces many new buds, so the bush blooms almost continuously. However, this feature will only be relevant if the hibiscus is provided with optimal care.

The value of hibiscus is that it is considered one of the most unpretentious crops for home. Among the main stages of care are:

  • Regular watering: it is necessary to ensure that the earthen ball is always moderately moist. In summer, watering should be more intense, and in winter its frequency should be reduced.
  • Liquid should not stagnate near the roots, so a drainage layer must be placed at the bottom of the pot.
  • Maintaining an optimal level of air humidity is ensured by regular spraying. But you need to make sure that water does not get on the flower petals, otherwise they will begin to fall off.
  • Fertilizing is applied every ten days during the flowering period, and reduced at the end of summer.

An adult plant needs to regularly trim old branches so that new shoots form on the bush. Every autumn, the shoots are shortened by a third of their length so that the plant can better withstand the winter.

Climbing roses: care and cultivation

Growing and properly caring for climbing roses will help you get a strong and healthy plant that will become a real decoration of your site.

Note: Thanks to their flexible climbing stems and lush inflorescences, these varieties are often used to decorate fences, building walls and gazebos.

Caring for climbing varieties includes a standard set of measures. The bushes need to be regularly watered and fed, as well as prevent diseases and pests. In addition, in the spring, all damaged and dry shoots are removed, and the bush is slightly thinned to stimulate the growth of young shoots and the formation of flower buds.


Figure 11. Options for using climbing varieties for garden decoration

The main feature of growing and caring for climbing varieties is the installation of supports (Figure 11). You can use both special metal structures and any available materials. Climbing roses planted near old trees, which will gradually become covered with stems and buds, will look impressive.

Rose stock: planting, care and photo

Rose stock is scientific name ordinary mallow, which is often planted along fences or against the walls of houses. This plant does not grow well in any soil, but the rose stem still requires certain care, like other flower crops (Figure 12).


Figure 12. Planting a rose stem on the site

During the flowering period, all wilted buds are removed from the stems, and the stems are shortened to a length of 30 cm. In addition, the stems need to be tied to pegs, since they can break in a strong wind. Mallow prefers moderate watering, but does not like acidic soils. If the soil on the site is fertile, fertilizing may not be necessary. On poor soils, fertilizers are applied about a week before flowering. For the winter, the plant must be covered with dry leaves or spruce branches.

Floribunda rose: planting and care with photos

Varieties of floribunda roses have been developed by breeders. The plants have a bush-like shape, and the flowers are collected in large and medium-sized inflorescences.

Well-lit areas, but with light shading in the middle of the day, are most suitable for planting. If the plant is exposed to intense sun throughout the day, it will quickly fade. It is also not recommended to plant flowers in areas with strong drafts.

Flowers of this type are very sensitive to watering. The most intensive watering is carried out during the awakening of the buds and after the end of the first wave of flowering, when new shoots begin to form on the bushes. In spring, combined fertilizers are added to the soil, which help the plant to awaken faster. In addition, the soil must be regularly loosened and freed from weeds. The earthen circle around the bush can be covered with mulch, which will prevent the soil from drying out and stop the growth of weeds. Anti-aging pruning is carried out annually to stimulate the growth of new shoots. Despite their resistance to cold weather, floribunda roses are recommended to be covered for the winter.

Rose mini mix: home care

Mini mix roses are attractive because, despite their small size, they are characterized by long and abundant flowering, and the buds can be of a wide variety of shades (Figure 13).


Figure 12. Growing mini mix roses

Mini mix roses require fairly abundant watering, and the water should be settled and at room temperature. You can also spray the leaves with water at room temperature, and in winter you can completely replace watering with spraying.

In order for plants to bloom frequently and profusely, they need to be provided with good lighting. To do this, the flower is placed on a south or south-east window, and in winter the daylight hours are extended with fluorescent lamps.

Park roses: care and cultivation

Park varieties are most often grown on summer cottages. These are beautiful and relatively unpretentious flowers, which, however, require some care (Figure 14).

Note: plant park varieties need to be at some distance from each other so that the bushes can be conveniently maintained and covered for the winter.

Park varieties are watered quite intensively, especially in hot summers. However, you need to ensure that the earthen ball does not dry out, but is not too wet. In addition, during the awakening of the buds, the plants are fed, and for the winter they shorten the branches and cover the bushes with dry leaves or coniferous branches.

Tea rose: home care

Tea roses are resistant to adverse factors environment. However, this condition applies only to varieties that are cultivated in the garden. Crops that are grown at home are very finicky and require careful care.


Figure 14. Growing park roses

Firstly, there must be enough light and fresh air in the room. Best for this the room will do with windows facing southeast or southwest. If you place a flower on a south-facing window, too intense lighting will cause the buds to dry out quickly and fall off. A comfortable temperature is considered to be +20+25 degrees. It is also necessary to ensure regular watering: the ground should be moist, but not wet. Therefore, when planting such a crop in a pot, be sure to place a layer of drainage on the bottom. In addition, indoor tea varieties are regularly sprayed with boiled water at room temperature, avoiding moisture getting on the flowers.

Lovers of fragrant roses can admire these plants all year round. After all, their more compact “relatives” occupy their rightful place on the windowsill, terrace in small pots or large containers. Homemade flowers in pots are as fragrant and beautiful as garden varieties of roses. Their buds are mesmerizing

and with proper maintenance, they delight from early spring to mid-autumn, and maybe longer.

Many novice gardeners ask about being in a pot. After all, a rose does not always please with abundant blooms; it begins to hurt and dry out. But such changes occur to the plant for the reason that gardeners try to experiment without knowing the main features. Therefore, proper care ensures early and long-term flowering of plants.

Conditions successful cultivation decorative roses

Ornamental plants are grown as compact plants in pots. But not all varieties are suitable for this. Most often these are tea, remontant roses; they feel great on the windowsill.

Indoor roses are very light-loving.

They prefer the south or southwest side, because they need a long Experienced gardeners knowing how to care for them in the fall and in early spring for successful growing season with daylight lamps.

In addition to good lighting, roses love sufficient humidity. In the summer, when the apartment is dry and hot, the plants should be sprayed and, if possible, taken out onto the balcony or loggia. They will feel much better there.

You need to water regularly, as the top layer of soil dries, but without flooding the plant. Roses can't stand watering cold water, it should be at room temperature. You can pour it directly onto the soil, or you can pour it into a tray, but then it is recommended to drain the water.

How to keep roses blooming

We can talk for a long time about how to care for roses in a pot. Let’s just say that the flowering of plants and its duration depend on many factors.

First, fertilizer. From early spring, indoor roses should be fed with special fertilizers, which can be purchased at a flower shop. There they will advise you on a special fertilizer stick. It is inserted into the ground in a vertical position, its validity period is 3 months. This method of feeding is the most convenient.

Secondly, the formation of the bush plays an important role. In winter, the rose is provided with a period of rest; it is taken out into a cool room (+5...+9 degrees), cutting off all the stems and leaving up to 5 buds on each. In spring, the plant is brought to a permanent, illuminated place. Then, as they grow, the branches that go to the middle of the bush are cut off.

Thirdly, the flowering of roses depends on the plants being given additional light to set many buds.

Fourthly, in order for the buds to form faster, the already withered flowers are removed, and along with them the dried branches, that is, the rose bush is kept clean throughout the growing season.

Indoor roses are replanted after 2-3 years, transferring a lump of earth into a pot whose size is slightly larger than before. They buy special soil for indoor roses.

These simple tips will help novice hobbyists learn how to care for roses in a pot and put the basic rules into practice for plants. Decorative roses will delight your home with their magical blooms and delicate aroma for a long time.

An indoor rose can decorate any room. However their beautiful decorative look is the result of careful care, which is achieved through the application of certain skills. However, the efforts made are rewarded - because you will get a perfect flower that pleases the eye.

The roses themselves are small potted bushes, reaching a height of 30-40 cm. Particularly popular among rose lovers are the following types of plants: hybrid tea, Pernetsin, remontant, and polyanthus.

This plant is practically no different from those varieties that are grown in greenhouse conditions. Nevertheless, there are some features of caring for them, which we will try to reveal.

What are indoor roses?

Lovers of roses are happy to grow them in their gardens and personal plots. But there are people who never want to part with their favorite flowers. In this case, you can place several pots with indoor rose bushes in your house and enjoy their flowering and aroma almost all year round. If you love roses and want to decorate your home with them, these simple tips will help you cope with the task.

Which roses are suitable for growing indoors?

Low roses, with a height of 40 to 45 cm, are most suitable for this purpose. There are many specially bred varieties of various colors. These roses bloom almost all year round and feel good indoors. These include remontant, Bengal and polyanthus roses.

  • Polyanthas - low bushes, highly branched with densely spaced small flowers white, pink or red, most often odorless. This variety of roses was developed by crossing climbing roses with tea roses and other repeat-blooming varieties. Polyanthus roses bloom at home all year round.
  • Remontant - have dense foliage, dark green color, flower buds are located on a long peduncle, reminiscent of the shape of a glass. The flowers are not as densely arranged as in previous representatives of the Rosaceae family, but you can enjoy their splendor twice during one season.
  • Bengals are great for growing indoors, as they are compact and not capricious. Small leaves and lush flowers of pink, red, less often white They will decorate your rooms almost all year round.

Buying an indoor rose

When buying an indoor rose of the variety you like, choose a plant with unopened buds. Carefully inspect the flower for pest infestation (scale insects, mealybugs, spider mites), the condition of the shoots, leaves and peduncles. First of all, inspect the shoots and leaves. There should be no black spots on the Shoots; this may mean the plant is infected with a fungal disease.

The leaves of an indoor rose should be rich green, dense, shiny in appearance, and firmly attached to the stems. A white coating on the leaves indicates that the flower is affected by powdery mildew; black or brown spots indicate fungal spotting. Yellow and falling leaves means that the plant is exhausted or was too flooded.

What to look for when buying a plant

Be sure to remove the gift bag and inspect the stems; they should not have black areas. If there are black spots on the stems, do not purchase this specimen.

Make sure the plant is not shedding its leaves. They should adhere firmly to the plant, cover the stems to the ground level and be green, glossy, and elastic.

  • Faded and falling leaves indicate that the plant was “steamed” during transportation.
  • Matte leaves with whitish spots indicate that the plant is affected spider mite.
  • A large number of yellow leaves in the lower part of the stems indicates that the plant has become exhausted from long-term transportation and being in the store.
  • Brown or black spots on the leaves are a sign of fungal spots.
  • The presence of white spots with a small fluff is another fungal disease - powdery mildew.

Inspect plants for pests: mealybug(lumps similar to cotton wool in the axils of the leaves), scale insects (brown small cakes, similar to droplets of wax, removed with a fingernail, usually along the veins of the leaf), whiteflies (white small capsules on back side leaf), thrips (silver streaks on the upper side of the leaf, thin nimble flies can be seen in the flowers), aphids (usually densely cover the upper parts of the shoots), spider mites (whitish leaves, powdery coating on the underside of the leaf, sometimes a cobweb is visible).

  • After purchasing a plant wash the rose under warm shower, this procedure will clean the leaves from road dust and greatly reduce the population of spider mites, if any.
  • Carefully remove the lump from the pot; if it is strongly entwined with roots, you should immediately transfer it (without replacing the soil or dividing the bushes) into a slightly larger pot with the addition of fresh soil for roses.
  • For prevention against insect pests, it is advisable to treat with Aktara (sprinkle with a solution of 1 g/10 l and sprinkle the leaves with a solution of 4 g/5 l).

When found black areas on stems they should be removed just below the damage. Give the rose a very bright and well-ventilated place.

When found dark spots(spotting), white plaque(powdery mildew) on the leaves, gray fluff on the leaves or flowers (grey rot) should be treated against fungal diseases fungicide preparations (Hom, Topaz, Skor, Colloidal sulfur, etc.).

Rose care rules

Any amateur gardener needs to know how to care for an indoor rose, because caring for it differs from caring for garden species. Moreover, maintaining a rose has virtually nothing in common with caring for other house plants. In rare cases, the conditions may coincide.

Basic rules for keeping indoor roses:

  • Lighting. Domestic roses are true sun lovers. Therefore, it is better to install the pot on a windowsill where the window faces the south or southeast. During the short daylight season, the plant is provided with additional light through a fluorescent lamp. However, overheating is also unacceptable.
  • Temperature. Optimal temperature for an indoor rose during the period of its active growth - from 14 to 20 degrees Celsius. Starting from October and until February, the plant is at rest, which requires a low temperature - from 5 to 8 degrees Celsius.
  • Air humidity. Indoor roses prefer a humid climate, and therefore it is recommended to spray them. During active growth, spraying is carried out twice a day.

Having bought a lush bouquet in a store, or received it from a fan, we rush to put the flowers in the water. It is necessary to place roses in a vase with water after adding a tablespoon of alcohol or vodka to the liquid. This simple technique will extend the life of the bouquet. If we are talking about roses as a houseplant, there will be several tips.

Proper care of your home rose by season


Not only a lack or excess of water can destroy a plant. Putting roses in water is the best solution for garden species. Indoor roses can be susceptible to diseases and pests. To avoid this, it is necessary to periodically treat the flower with special preventive mixtures, observe the temperature and humidity level in the room, and the degree of moisture in the soil. The sooner you notice signs of the disease, the sooner you can get rid of it from the rose.

Caring for an indoor rose means constant attention to it. The rules for maintaining this plant may seem complicated. However, they are not. Moreover, the rose will pay for your love and care with incredible beauty and splendor of flowering.

Reproduction methods

The following methods of propagation of these flowers are known:

  • seeds, which is very labor-intensive and almost never practiced;
  • cutting roses is the most common and popular method;
  • layering if the stems are long and climbing.

The rose is also grafted onto a rose hip, obtaining a specimen of the desired variety. But this is no longer reproduction. And also the grafting is used exclusively in gardening.

How to propagate roses from cuttings? Many species propagate by cuttings, but this is not always an easy task. Rosa Cordana, for example, difficult to reproduce. A miniature varieties, intended for premises and interiors, cuttings are easier.

Method for growing roots in water

This method is most suitable for miniature and dwarf roses. Roses are most often propagated from green cuttings. These are annual shoots that have produced buds. To form roots in water, it is recommended to follow the following rules.

  • The best period is spring and summer, characterized by a long period of natural daylight. Then the plants actively grow and produce buds.
  • It is believed that the most suitable shoot for cuttings should have a bud. But if you don’t want to deprive yourself of flowering, you can take a faded stem.
  • The knife or pruning shears must be sharp so as not to leave jagged edges on the stem as a source of infection.
  • The cutting must have more than two buds from which new shoots will grow.
  • The cuttings are cut from below along an oblique line, and from above - in a straight line. Length - no more than 15 cm.
  • Flower growers consider it correct to use boiled water to grow roots, considering raw water unsuitable. In any case, the water should be allowed to stand for several hours, heated to room temperature.
  • For root growth in water, dark containers, opaque or made of dark glass, are more suitable.
  • Each container of material should be labeled if the varieties are different.
  • The water is not changed, but added as it evaporates.
  • Jars with roses should be in a bright place, for example, a windowsill.

Features of the root growing method

According to one opinion, when roots appear, the rose is placed in the ground. This increases the chances of survival, and the plant itself is not weakened.

Other flower growers believe that miniature roses wait up to three weeks for roots to appear and grow them up to a centimeter. They must branch out. Plant in 200 ml containers with holes for draining water.

Some take into account the phases of the moon and believe that landing should be done on the waxing moon.

But in order to take this factor into account, the moon needs to shine through the window, giving the plant additional lighting. That is, the windows should be south-facing; on the north side it does not matter. In addition, by waiting for the “correct” moon, you can miss time for good landing, weaken the plant.

Very often you don’t have to wait long for the first flowering of a rooted rose; the bud appears soon. But this depends on the variety and other conditions.

Cuttings for rooting

Propagation material - cuttings - are obtained in the process of pruning indoor roses. If the rose grew outside, but is small in size, suitable for indoor growing, branches can be taken from it.

But not every variety of garden rose will take root in indoor pot. climbing rose considered suitable for rooting. But the garden tea rose gives almost no good results, perhaps only a small percentage.

The most suitable shoots for rooting are received in spring and summer, with ripe buds or blooming.

Long shoots are also suitable. A prerequisite is the presence of kidneys. The length of the cutting is up to 12 cm.
Knife or scissors for cutting preferably disinfect alcohol or potassium permanganate. We make a cut under the bud from below and above the bud at a distance of up to 1 cm from above. Existing leaves are cut in half.

Method of rooting in the ground

The cuttings are planted in the ground immediately after cutting. There are drugs that promote rooting. You need to dip the lower cut of the cutting into the Kornevin preparation. And from the Epin product they make a solution in which the sections are kept for up to half a day.

Cutting immersed in the ground by 1/3 and compact the soil. Naturally, before harvesting cuttings, containers with soil must be prepared. Each container is covered with a jar or a common greenhouse is made under the film. Moisture in a greenhouse evaporates slowly. Therefore, you do not need to water every day. Favorable soil temperature is up to 25 degrees Celsius.

Roses are a must good lighting required. If you can’t put them on the windowsill, we provide lighting (daylight hours - 15 hours). Rooting time is up to 5 weeks. When the leaves begin to grow, then you can supply air to the greenhouse, and then completely remove the film (can).

If rooting was done in a common container, over time the roses seated one by one.

  • The distance between roses should be approximately 5 cm.
  • When in the light, roses should not be exposed to the scorching sun.
    When the root system grows, transfer it with a lump of earth into a large container.
  • In a 500 ml container, the rose can live until next spring without replanting.

Regular care: watering, temperature.
In autumn they can stand on the veranda in cool conditions. In winter you also need to keep them away from the heat of the battery. As the winter days begin to lengthen, the plants will respond by growing. In the first year, you should not expect abundant flowering, as it occurs later with thorough rooting.

Rooting by air layering

If a compact (indoor) size crop has long stems associated with the climbing variety, then it can be propagated by layering. This is a more reliable method that is not dangerous to the life of the rooted branch.

Air layering can be rooted in any plant. And this is exactly what they do for reliability if there are not enough cuttings. When propagating by layering, it is advisable to take a flowering branch.

Leaves are removed from the bottom and make longitudinal cuts with a sharp cutting object (razor or knife) on the bark. Then place a bag of sand over the incision site. This soil needs to be moistened regularly for rooting.

After three weeks or earlier, root buds will begin to develop on the cut stem. If the stem darkens at the cut site and there are no roots, a conclusion is drawn: rooting by layering did not work. You need to cut this shoot above the damaged area and plant it as a cutting.

Successful rooting can be determined by the growth of new shoots. Need to moisten the soil regularly without allowing excess moisture. Drying out is also unacceptable. The size of the pot is also important.

Soil and fertilizers

For sale ready soil in a rose package containing all the necessary components. You can also make soil from a mixture of sand and peat.

Sand with turf - good composition soil for further development of the plant. The substrate is prepared by taking light soil, adding to it twice as much turf, the same amount of peat and a little sand.

Humus is a good fertilizer for roses. When new leaves appear on a rooted rose, you can apply mineral fertilizers and organic.

Container size and greenhouse conditions

The opinions of flower growers differ. Some insist that the pot matches the size of the plant and believe that the cutting needs a small container, no more than 200 ml.

Others say: roses love a large amount of soil and you can immediately take a larger pot. One way or another, there must be a good one in the container drainage, drain holes.

After the roots occupy all the space in a small pot, the rose must be transplanted directly with a lump of earth into a larger container. If the pot is too large, there is a danger of uneven moisture, stagnation of moisture, and the appearance of pests that spoil the roots.

When rooting a single rose in a balcony box, you can plant other plants there that have similar climatic preferences. It is quite possible to plant several rose cuttings in one box.

It must be taken into account that wind and draft are also harmful to the crop during rooting. For protection from wind, as well as for long-term preservation of moisture and creating the necessary climate greenhouses are used. This is a plastic film covering a container or a jar for each bush.

This is facilitated by infection of the plant through acidic soil. That is why almost immediately after purchasing a rose, it needs to be replanted, but before that, the flower needs to be prepared for a process such as replanting an indoor rose.

Preparing for transplant

Transplanting a rose is possible only after providing it with good initial care. It is imperative to endure a period of adaptation of the flower to new conditions.

The plant will need some time to settle, after which it must be washed in soapy water.

It will be very useful to leave the rose for half an hour in a basin of water, and then give it a contrast shower of hot and warm water. At the same time the temperature hot water should not exceed forty degrees.

  • After graduation water procedures spray the flower with a solution prepared from water and epin (5 drops per liter of water).
  • Then you need to make from plastic bag a kind of greenhouse and put the resulting bag on the rose, securing it with sticks stuck into the ground.
  • It is important to ensure that the bag does not touch the foliage.
  • Every day you need to ventilate the flower, increasing the time it stays in the air.

Then immerse the rose roots in boiled water at room temperature so that all the soil on the roots is washed away.

If a non-woven fabric is found between the roots, it must be carefully removed. Such water procedures will help rid the rose of chemical substances, which can be on it, and will allow the flower to remain healthy and beautiful for a long time.

The pot should be selected in size so that it is several centimeters in diameter larger than the container in which you purchased the rose, and the same amount larger in height.

You should take the choice of container seriously, as if you purchase a pot that is too large, the rose may stop blooming. It is better to buy soil for replanting at a flower shop; it is preferable to get a special mixture for roses. If you cannot find such a composition in stores, then it is better to choose loose, moisture-absorbing soil with a neutral or slightly acidic reaction. Before replanting, the ceramic pot must be soaked in water for several hours.

  • You need to put drainage at the bottom of the pot; it is better to use expanded clay in the form of granules for these purposes.
  • In this case, the largest of them should be placed at the very bottom, and the smaller ones on top in a layer approximately 1.2 cm thick.
  • If the pot does not have a drainage hole, then the drainage layer should be at least 3.5 cm.
  • The prepared soil mixed with fertilizers is poured onto the drainage from above.
  • Then you need to plant the flower and sprinkle it with regular soil (without fertilizers).

You need to replant the rose by gradually compacting the soil, but not pouring it to the edges of the pot.. There should be at least 2 cm of free space from its edge to the ground level. At the end of the procedure, the plant should not be watered immediately.. It’s better to place it on a north window or just in a shady place for about a day. Then the flower can be displayed on permanent place, preferably oriented to the southeast. In very hot weather, you need to water the rose in the morning and evening at the root.

How to protect flowers from pests?

You need to constantly check twigs, flowers and leaves in order to have time to take action. So, how to save an indoor rose if it has been overcome by pests?

  • Aphid. These insects are not that scary. Especially if you noticed them right away. In this case, you can simply collect the pests with your hands. If the situation worsens, use one of the special drugs, for example, Intavir.
  • Spider mite. He is very partial to roses and is capable of destroying a plant in a few days. The mite entangles the branches and the space between them with a thin web, as a result of which the leaves of the flower dry out and fall off. The buds are also susceptible to attack by this pest, due to which they do not have time to bloom. To get rid of mites you need to spray the plant with Fitoferm.
  • Rust, powdery mildew, gray rot and other fungal diseases occur due to excessive air humidity. It would be best to prevent these infections, since they are quite difficult to cure. Do not allow water to stagnate in the pan, ventilate the room in which the rose lives, and do not frequently spray the leaves. If trouble occurs, use Fundazol.

It is necessary to treat indoor roses with any of these preparations outdoors or in non-residential premises. After spraying, the plant is left in the same place for a day, and only then brought into the room.

Proper care and maintenance, care and love – that’s all your fragrant pets need. And having received all this, Queen Rose will present you with flowers in a truly royal way!

Features of caring for a frozen rose

  • transplant (transfer) into a larger pot with nutritious soil - a special soil mixture for growing roses, or compose it yourself from two parts humus, two parts peat and one part sand;
  • sacrifice flowers and buds - remove them along with all frostbitten shoots and leaves.

Feeding an indoor rose

There is no need to feed the rose directly when transplanting. And with the onset of spring and until late autumn, the plant must be fertilized once a week, alternating between organic and mineral fertilizers. After all, nutritious soil is important condition For good growth indoor rose.

Watering a home rose

The plant needs abundant watering as the soil dries out, especially during the growing season. At the same time, both drying out and waterlogging should not be allowed.

Only settled water is suitable for irrigation: in the warm season - at room temperature, and in winter - cooler. If the plant is in a well-heated room in winter, then it needs to be showered regularly (at least once every two weeks) - sprayed with water that is 3°C above room temperature. In winter, watering should be done less frequently, since at this time the rose is in a dormant period.

After transplanting, it is better to place the indoor rose on the eastern windowsill. In the first days, a few more leaves may fall off, but after 7-10 days new, young ones should appear. This means that the plant has taken root.

Why does the indoor rose not bloom?

To grow in your flower garden rare plant you need to know the secrets of the content. Most people want to see exotic flowers. The secrets of breeding large species of plants are different. Every plant requires individual approach. In this article, the editors intended to provide many tips to avoid mistakes in content unusual flower. You should determine for yourself which class your pet belongs to. However, there are also common problems due to which indoor roses do not bloom.

Season

Despite the fact that flower shops sell blooming roses all year round, their natural bud-setting time is spring and summer. In stores, they achieve the appearance of flowers in winter with special hormonal and vitamin preparations, which ultimately can even lead to the death of the plant. At home, these drugs are simply not applicable. Therefore, do not wait for the appearance of buds in December and January, everything will take its turn.

Insufficient lighting level

Since roses are light-loving plants, their maintenance requires special placement: on southwest or southeast windows. On windows facing north, you should not expect abundant flowering from them. However, you should not overdo it - by placing roses on south-facing windows, where in the summer months it will be too hot for them, their inflorescences and leaves will become small.

If the apartment windows face only the north side, you can use artificial lighting, thereby lengthening the daylight hours.

Place the lamps at a distance of no more than 30 cm from the top of the plant. The optimal length of daylight for good flowering of indoor roses is 10-12 hours. This is why it is important to turn on the backlights when it starts to get dark outside and leave them on until midnight.

Thanks to properly created artificial lighting, miniature roses can bloom until winter. It is also worth considering the temperature factor on sunny windows: a heated pot with plants will lead to drying out of the earthen substrate and, consequently, the root system.

Roses are very sensitive to such influences, so light-colored pots are optimal for them. You can also protect yourself from the rays using ordinary white sheets of paper. Also, do not forget about regular watering.

Incorrectly selected soil composition

For indoor miniature roses, soil with a neutral pH of 6.5-7.5 is preferred. If the plant is planted in soil with an inappropriate level of acidity, it will not bloom or flowering will be very weak.

Unsuitable temperature conditions

Overheating of the plant will also negatively affect the flowering of miniature roses. If the temperature on the windowsill rises above 22-25°C, then simply spraying the plant with a spray bottle is not a sufficient measure. It is necessary to shade the window to protect the flowers from direct sunlight during the hottest time of the day. It is also necessary to wash the leaves several days a week in the evening after sunset. It would be useful to place a container near the plant with water, which will humidify the air.

Incorrect introduction of fertilizers

This factor is associated not only with starvation of the rose, rare replanting or fertilizing, but also with an excessive amount of fertilizer, since an excessive concentration will cause a serious burn to the root system of the plant.

Problems after transplant

Improper transplantation of a rose can also be the reason why it does not bloom. This may be due to the pot being too tight or, on the contrary, being too spacious, or due to damage to the roots during replanting.

In addition, a rose transplant carried out in autumn or winter can not only cause a lack of flowering, but also the death of the flower itself.

Pests

We hope that our tips will help you avoid problems with rose blooms.

Factors that contribute to spider mite infestation

  • Lack of light.
  • Loss of turgor in leaves. This can be caused by insufficient watering; damage to the roots from drying out or from waterlogging when they begin to rot; inaccurate transplantation; high doses of fertilizers.
  • Overheating of the leaves (behind the glass) and root ball in the sun, as well as too high a temperature.
  • Dry air.
  • Lack of fresh air flow.

Features of growing indoor roses in winter

A problem that can be encountered when growing roses in winter- this is a lack of natural light. If you have a special backlight that will provide the required light intensity and duration of daylight hours (12 hours), you can not change anything in your care; it is advisable to maintain the temperature no higher than +21 o C during the day, decreasing to +16 o C at night and ensure good ventilation without placing the plant close to heating devices.

  • It is advisable to maintain high air humidity by spraying the air near the plant, since water getting directly onto the leaves can cause fungal diseases.
  • LED and fluorescent phytolamps are suitable for supplementary illumination, but their light is unpleasant to the eyes (the spectrum is shifted to the red and blue parts of the spectrum, so the lamp gives a lilac-pinkish light).
  • You can use household LED and fluorescent lamps, but they provide a less adequate spectral composition of light for plants, so for full growth, increase the lighting power.
  • If it is not possible to provide additional lighting during the winter months, then it is necessary to reduce the temperature to +10+15 o C. Under these conditions, the growth of the plant will slow down, the rose will be immersed in shallow sleep, and this will allow her to survive the lack of light. In cool weather, the metabolic rate decreases and the plant does not become exhausted.

If the rose is kept in insufficient light and warmth, it will spend more energy (on metabolic processes) than it receives from inefficient photosynthesis (in insufficient light). Having used up its reserves, the plant will die. In this case, severe damage to spider mites is usually observed. A drop in temperature will slow down the activity of the mite; this is another reason to keep the rose cool in winter.

During shallow sleep, the abundance and frequency of watering is reduced, the soil is kept moist, and fertilizers are not applied.

The second way of wintering is to immerse the rose in deep dream. It occurs when the temperature drops to +0+5 o C. The rose should be immersed in such a deep sleep by gradually lowering the temperature in the fall, reducing watering accordingly and stopping applying nitrogen fertilizers from the end of summer. The rose sheds its leaves and after that no longer needs light - it can be stored in a dark place (basement, refrigerator), keeping the soil slightly moist, without fertilizing. It is imperative to ensure good ventilation, otherwise the plant will be susceptible to fungal diseases.

If it is not possible to provide good light or coolness in winter, then it is better plant a rose in the garden. Many varieties overwinter well in a protected place in open ground, they often have a better chance of surviving there than in the unsuitable conditions of a winter apartment. Plants can be planted in spring and summer, protected from frost. The agricultural technology for growing and covering mini-roses is similar to other garden roses.

Potted roses - own roots, grown from cuttings, and different varieties exhibit different winter hardiness. Usually, they are still used for planting in the garden for the summer, and with wintering - depending on your luck. Varieties that have overwintered once may subsequently turn out to be short-lived and freeze out in subsequent winters.

Like its garden relatives, it belongs to the Rosaceae family.

Almost all lovers of indoor plants would like to have this incomparably fragrant flower in their home. However, many gardeners often have no idea how to care for this magnificent plant.

In less than a few weeks, the flower queen turns into a black, unpresentable stump. Neither fertilizing nor replanting helps. What's the matter? How to preserve and grow a rose at home?

Adaptation of a flower to home conditions

Caring for an indoor rose is quite difficult and before purchasing a flower, you need to become more familiar with all the nuances of its cultivation.

First of all, you should choose a quality plant. Many buyers focus on the number of buds, believing that the more, the better. However, this is not quite true. Special attention should be paid to the bush itself, which should have young shoots. This is evidence that the plant is in the growth phase, which means it will easily take root in a new place and will delight you in the future with its beauty and fragrance.

There is no need to rush to immediately replant the flower in a new pot; give the rose the opportunity to acclimatize in your apartment.

After 2-3 days, preventive measures against pests must be carried out. Here you can use ordinary soap foam. Each leaf must be washed, especially with inside, soap solution and rinse the plant under running warm water.

You can give your mini rose a contrast shower. To do this you need to water the flower hot water for five minutes, then cool for the same amount.

Here, on the spot, you should remove the flower from the pot and carefully examine the roots. If rotten areas are found, they must be carefully removed. Healthy roots should be light and strong.

After water procedures, the flower is left to dry for 1.5-2 hours, after which it can be transplanted into fresh soil mixture.

Transplanting an indoor rose

Transshipment of the purchased bush can be carried out at any time of the year. Experts advise doing this in early spring or postponing the procedure until August.

Substrate and pot

Lovers of indoor plants need to know that garden crops are not suitable for planting at home. For an apartment there is special type- an indoor rose that differs from a garden rose in the type and size of inflorescences.


A home or indoor rose is a miniature (up to 50 cm high), beautifully flowering, potted plant, of which there are about 250 species, but there are many more varieties. In the photo of home roses you can see a wide variety of colors and shapes of buds, which makes this indoor plant very attractive for growing at home.

Among the varieties of domestic roses that are most suitable for growing as indoor plants, it is worth highlighting such as “Miss Rowena Tom”, “Grusse en Teplitz” or “La France” from the variety hybrid tea roses, "Madame Falco", "Marshal Niel" or "Nifetos" from a variety of tea roses, "Orand Triumph" from a variety of polyanthus roses, Bourbon "Souvenir de la Malmaison" or most varieties of Bengal red roses.

The whimsical and demanding nature of home roses is well known and can scare away novice gardeners, but it is still worth trying to grow home roses in pots, because they are very decorative and can bloom for a long time.


And in order to have as few questions as possible about how to care for your home rose, you need to remember certain recommendations:

  1. to place pots with these plants, you need to choose southern and southeastern window openings and balconies;
  2. homemade roses need to be planted in fresh nutritious soil;
  3. in the warm season they need to be provided with sufficient amounts of fresh air;
  4. During the growing season, indoor roses need to be watered abundantly, but at the same time take into account the ambient temperature and the degree of drying of the top layer of soil;
  5. in the process of caring for a home rose, it is necessary to carry out weekly feedings, especially carefully during flowering and active growth;
  6. transferring plants into larger containers, but only if necessary.

Negative factors when growing indoor roses also need to be taken into account. These include:

  • dry air and straight Sun rays, which may cause overheating;
  • cold water used for irrigation;
  • leaving dry leaves and stems, wilted buds and sprouts on the plant;
  • root injury;
  • wintering in a room that is too hot;
  • untimely treatment and control of diseases and pests.

Household roses require constant and quite active care, but provided that a favorable environment for growth is created and maintained, it will only come down to regular watering and fertilizing.


Care

Caring for home roses should begin from the moment of purchase. The whole process can be broken down into the procedures that need to be followed:

  1. Adaptation - while the flower gets used to the new room, you need to repeat as much as possible the conditions in which the plant was before purchasing it in the store, including the watering and fertilizing regime. At this time, you need to isolate drafts and direct sunlight, use settled water for watering. clean water, spray the leaves. You need to replant your home rose only after it has adapted.
  2. Transplantation is carried out after the plant gets used to the new place. Transplant new rose It is necessary together with a lump of earth, only slightly loosening the outer layer and removing a small amount of old soil. Replanting must be done very carefully so that the roots remain intact. It is best to use a mixture of turf and humus soil with an admixture of sand (in a ratio of 4:4:1) and a small amount of complex fertilizers. The pot for replanting should be several centimeters larger in diameter and 5-7 cm higher than the container in which the rose was purchased. A drain hole is required. The bottom of the pot should be covered with a layer of expanded clay drainage. After transplanting, the rose should be left in the shade in a cool place for a day, and then moved to a well-lit windowsill, but not under direct rays, with access to fresh air.
  3. Watering – indoor roses are very demanding when it comes to watering and due to insufficient moisture they can even begin to dry out. Therefore, you need to water regularly, in cool times of the day, at the root, on hot days more often, as the top layer of soil dries. Water for irrigation should be clean, settled, and at room temperature.
  4. Feeding should also be regular, at least 2 times a month. In this case you can use complex fertilizers according to the instructions or with mullein. In addition to applying fertilizers to the soil, you can use special soluble complexes for fertilizing in the form of spraying. Sick and only transplanted roses are not fed.
  5. Preparing for winter - too important stage care, since home roses overwinter like their garden “relatives,” and some varieties even shed their leaves. In order for an indoor rose to survive this period well, you need to move it to a cool room (15-17°C) with sufficiently humid air and without household appliances. Also, before wintering, roses are pruned, leaving 5 live buds on each branch.
  6. Wintering - in the autumn-winter period, roses need no less careful care, namely watering and spraying, maintaining normal air humidity.

Homemade roses are very beautiful houseplants, and, despite the demanding care, they are still particularly popular among gardeners.
