Rose care
Roses are very beautiful flowers loved by many people across the world, the rose has always been a symbol of love and affection.With the sweet smell and the beautiful flowers these plants produce it is quite impossible not to have some type of rose plant in your garden.
Plant Health Care is a strategy for keeping plants stress free by considering factors related to growing and maintaining the plant. An important result of PHC is that roses in healthy condition are less impacted by insects than plants under stress.
When you first start to plant your roses make sure that you plant the crown of the rose at least 3 centimetres below the crown. Fill in with and around with soil and the tamp it down taking care not to break the root ball. For the first twenty days the roses must be watered regulary,this will allow your new rose bush to grow healthy.
Benefits of all your hard work can be wonderful looking and sweet smelling roses,which in turn can be cut and put into a vase in your home.When pruning or cutting your roses you must take careful attention not to damage the stems if the rose is in bloom.Try not to prune the first season roses to much,when the rose matures you will be able to prune them more frequently.
When deciding how many rose bushes you want in your garden spread them out away from each other,this will help the plant to find it’s own space and grow properly.Best time to plant new rose bushes is in early spring when all the frosts have gone.When transplanting last season’s rose bushes make sure you cut all dead leaves and tidy up the bush,this will help new growth.
If you have climbing roses,prune all the stems down while dormant as this allows the plant to grow new healthy stems starting in spring.Sometimes you’ll find a diseased plant, give it a good spraying with a fungal insectcide.I always give my plants a good fertilizer in the months leading up till about the end of September.
Mid-Spring: Watch for rose slugs and either handpick, spray with a superfine horticultural oil, or use a systemic insecticide. Fertilize roses again after the first flush of flowers. Watch for shoots coming from the rootstock below the graft and remove. After the soil warms, apply a generous layer of organic mulch.
Living in a cold climate that has harsh winters can cause roses to die if not properly protected from the cold. When the ground freezes just mould earth around the base of the plant and then add evergreen boughs. Small climbing roses can be detatched from their supports put on the gound then covered with earth this will protect them from very cold winters.
