All neighbors will envy you: how to grow lush rose garden in the country
Roses are one of the most beautiful flowers that can decorate any summer house. Their delicate buds and rich aroma can enchant anyone.
However, growing roses is not always easy because these flowers require some care and attention. OBOZ.UA has collected a few tips that will help you grow a beautiful rose garden everyone will envy.
Place for planting
Before buying seedlings, you need to analyze the weather conditions that are typical for your region and choose the best place on your summer cottage that will be favorable for the growth and development of roses. Remember that growing flowers in the west and in the east of the country will be significantly different and take this into account.
To plant roses, you should choose the warmest and brightest place in your garden. These plants need a lot of sun, so they should not be planted in the shade of trees or buildings.
If your site lacks light, you should choose shade-tolerant roses that do not require a lot of ultraviolet light.
In addition, there are some plants, such as dahlias and gladioli, that should not be planted next to roses as they will inhibit their growth and take away nutrients.
Planting material
High-quality planting material is the key to success. Rose cuttings can be purchased in many places, for example, in the market, from neighbors, in an online store, in a special nursery. However, in any case, you need to pay attention to their quality. Choose green and fresh seedlings with good roots. Instead, if you notice a disease on the plant, damage or other negative signs, you should not spend money on them even out of politeness.
Caring
Each rose variety requires special care, so there is no one-size-fits-all advice. Research the needs and characteristics of your flowers to provide the perfect conditions for them. Consider their requirements for soil, air temperature, humidity, fertilizer composition, etc.
However, don't forget that all roses need regular watering, fertilizing, protection during cold weather, and proper and timely pruning.
