For any home flower collector, growing flowers is a challenge. Because it is quite difficult to make this wonderful flower feel good. Just as beautiful as this queen of flowers is, she is also capricious. But with due persistence and adherence to a clear schedule of palace ceremonies, the rose is usually satisfied and delights with the blooming of a delicate color.

If the soil composition is purchased in a store, then it should be supplemented with leaf humus and rotted manure in equal parts.

Recipe self-cooking mixtures:

leaf humus – 1 part
turf soil – 1 part
garden soil – 1 part
sand – 1 part
high peat – 1 part
or hydrogel

The container should have a good drainage layer and a tray to drain excess water. Rose doesn't like keeping her feet cold and wet, so excess liquid two hours after watering should be removed. The edge of the pot should be equal to the crown of the flower, this will serve as a sign that the ideal volume has been found. When replanting, you should not suddenly increase the size of the pot.

Conditions for well-being blooming rose This is systematic watering and regular feeding during the active phase of rose growth:

Watering. For a southern beauty, regular watering is very important. The liquid should be slightly warm and must be filtered. You should especially carefully monitor the water temperature and frequency of watering during the flowering period. As soon as buds begin to form on the bushes, the watering procedures should be increased in frequency. And as soon as young sticky greens appear, even more water will be needed. But with the onset of the sleep and rest phase, watering is reduced. Attention! Do not allow the rose's earthen clod to become waterlogged or dry out. This has an extremely negative impact on her condition.
Loosening after watering. Important procedure. Firstly, it opens air access to the roots. Secondly, it allows you to understand whether additional moisture is required or not.
Feeding. As soon as the awakening phase begins, the beauty will require a complete diet. Balanced food will allow the rose to: grow actively, decorate the room with long-lasting flowering and gain strength for a long active phase. Fertilizing is required approximately once every 10 days. Will also fit liquid formulations, and dry mixes. It is only important to correctly distribute and dose the organic substances necessary for the bush. An infusion of cow or goat manure will be of particular benefit to the plant. Only cow manure must be rotted for about a year before application; goat manure can be used fresh. Compositions with phosphorus and potassium will not be superfluous. But it is worth noting that as autumn approaches, fertilizing should be reduced, and stopped altogether from October, in order to allow the plant to calmly digest and absorb all the beneficial summer treatments and vitamins.

Pruning a rose is not only about giving the crown of the flower an elegant shape, but also about treating the plant to avoid the formation of shelters for pests among old and dried branches.

Types of pruning:

sanitary pruning – helps to get rid of old, weak and dead branches
anti-aging pruning – done once every few years and its purpose is to free the bush from too thick “hair”
formative pruning – helps to preserve decorative look roses
restraining pruning - allows you to keep the bush at the desired height
stimulating pruning - done before flowering, so that more nutrition goes to the buds

It is best to prune after the roses begin to wake up, but before the buds appear. Summer August pruning is required only for intensive flowering bushes. After the procedure, it is best to keep the rose in a room with a temperature of 10 C, this will allow the flower to slowly wake up and form new branches in place of the old ones.

If the rose has just "arrived" in new house, then you need to give her time to adapt. For several weeks, the flower should get used to the new conditions and only after that should you begin manipulating pruning. In principle, the pruning process is not complicated, but if in doubt, you can take the flower to a florist, and they will show you how to make the cuts correctly and remove unnecessary material.

This point is worth paying attention to:

If an indoor rose was purchased in a store, then before replanting it, you should dip the roots in a biofungicide solution, however, this should also be done if the rose was moved from the garden to the house.
The rose is taken out completely with a lump of earth, and in this state is placed in a biofungicide solution.
The rose requires good drainage in the pot.
To avoid the appearance of air pockets, the rose should either be thoroughly watered after replanting, or carefully stitched around the edges with a wooden stick (stitching means pushing the soil inside along the edge of the lump).
In places where voids have formed, it is necessary to add soil.
During the first week after transplantation, the soil may settle and become compacted; in order to prevent the roots from being exposed, you should carefully monitor the condition of the soil cover and add soil until required quantity if necessary.
The transplanted plant is placed in the shade for a day, and no more water is added and the plant is not sprayed.
The next day, you should take the plant out to its habitat for a couple of hours, and then return it to the shade.
So the rose must get used to the new place for two days, and then finally move.

Annual transplant:

It's better to replant in early spring.
The pot should not be much larger than before.
The soil must be fresh.

It's sad when your pet gets sick or is attacked by pests. To avoid the death of the enemy plant, you need to know by sight and recognize in time:

Spotting can be noticed by the formation of dark spots on the foliage. You can’t ignore the disease; it’s easier to immediately throw out the rose. Preparations containing sulfur or copper help. Yellow roses are especially susceptible.
Powdery mildew. A white coating on the outside of the leaves indicates that trouble has occurred. It is necessary to urgently remove the damaged areas and burn them or throw them into the garbage chute. Next, the pot and rose are treated with Fundazol.
Bacterial cancer. This is a viral and most destructive disease for rose bushes. The affected areas must not only be removed, but also disinfected. Trimmed shoots are dipped into the solution copper sulfate for a few minutes. Infected parts should not be thrown into the soil; the disease is dangerous and grows quickly.
Spider mite. This pest appears if the air in the room is too dry.

Lush rose bushes are an absolutely dream come true, but in order for the scents of roses to float at home, you need to try a little and give the Queen the honors she deserves.

The home rose in a pot is a rather finicky plant. For normal development and regular flowering, it needs special care, all the secrets and nuances of which we will now tell you.

A little history

Rose belongs to the Rosaceae family and is distinguished by its fragrant flowers and the presence of thorns on the stem. Indoor specimens began to be grown back in ancient times; for this purpose, bushes from the yard were transplanted into large flowerpots and brought indoors. Most often, this was how they tried to protect specimens brought from the southern regions, which were given as gifts to persons of royal blood.

The matchmaking of princes and kings from warm countries did not take place without roses; they were like harbingers of the most serious intentions. Princesses were given white or pale pink flowers as a symbol of youth, impeccability and purity. Red varieties were most often sent as gifts for widowed brides.

At the end of the Middle Ages, breeders of that time began to breed roses with a greater variety of colors.

Capricious brides demanded more exotic gifts from their grooms, and they, in turn, made every effort to please their beloved. Today, there are more than a hundred varieties of domestic roses; breeders are developing new and more exotic ones with unusual flower colors. It is much easier for today's gentlemen to please their beloved; roses of a wide variety of colors and shades are available for sale.

The palette is simply amazing; blue, purple and even black flowers look quite unusual on the windowsills of apartments. Thornless varieties are especially popular, but the smell of the flower will be slightly different.

Description and general characteristics

Since ancient times, rose bushes were grown indoors; soil, fertilizing, and watering frequency were selected for them. Since then, not only the world has changed, but also the indoor Rosaceae plants themselves. They were adapted not only to the microclimate of modern human housing, but also significantly reduced in size.

At the same time, some varieties retained large flowers, and in some they also decreased in proportion to the bush. Growing on a windowsill dictates certain conditions; all stems must fit in a small space.

Indoor roses are also adapted to this; their main characteristics are as follows:

bush up to 50 cm high, up to 30 cm in diameter
leaves are small, bright green or dark green in color
the flowers are not large, can reach a maximum of 5-7 cm in diameter
The colors of the flowers are different, most often grown are red, white, yellow, pink hybrids
stems are elastic, covered with thorns, density depends on the variety

There are roses for indoor growing with fragrant flowers and with ordinary ones, the decorative effect will be high in all types. Today, domestic varieties are divided according to flower size into the following groups:

Polyanthaceae
Repairers
Bengal

Polyantha group The trunk is characterized by strong branching; on almost every branch a bud develops over time, which, under the right conditions, will delight the eye with a small flower. The diameter of a rosette of this group reaches 2-3 cm, but the flowering is long-lasting. In some cases, the plant does not stop blooming all year round.

But real flower growers will never allow this, after 6-9 months abundant flowering The remaining buds and blossoming buds are cut off from the plant and the flower is allowed to rest.

The stamps from this group help to create an extraordinary decor. They are often given the shape of a ball, which looks especially impressive during the flowering period.

Repairers They present their flower in a special way; they make it stand out. From the bush, each bud rises on a peduncle long length. The leaves of the plants have a rich dark green color, the bush is of medium density. Flowering is not as long as that of polyanthus, but it can be admired twice a season.

Indoor rose, renovation group

Bengal group considered the most common, trunks are the least finicky to care for and grow and develop well in conditions indoors. The leaves of the representatives of the Bengal group are small and of medium density. The bush is compact, up to 35 cm in height, with lush rosettes densely arranged on it.

The most common colors are red, pink, beige, and white. They bloom for a long time, almost all year round. With proper care and regular feeding, the trunk can not be allowed to retire until it wants to.

Bengal roses for indoor growing

For such purposes, organic matter is most often used, which will nourish the plant and the soil around it with everything necessary. It is worth considering that after a long flowering period, the dormant period may be prolonged. You shouldn’t be afraid of this, the flower will sprout new shoots when it has fully recovered its strength, sometimes this can take 7-9 months.

Periods of development

There is an opinion among flower growers that it is difficult to grow indoor roses; the plant is quite finicky and capricious. These are not exotic hybrids, but under some circumstances unacceptable to the queen of flowers, she can quickly die without showing her flowers. If you follow all the necessary rules, everyone will be able to please themselves with such beauty on the windowsill.

For the sake of experiment, some begin to grow from a cutting they cut with their own hands, which gradually turns into a full-fledged representative of Rosaceae on the windowsill. The process is quite interesting, and children especially enjoy such experiments. Observe full cycle cognitive development.

For Rosaceae, as for most other indoor plants, there are two periods of annual development:

Growing season
Rest period

Each of them is important for life, without one there will be no normal second.

During the growing season, the standard of an indoor rose in a pot actively grows, this is manifested in the enlargement of leaves and the growth of branches. The beginning of the period usually falls in the spring months; if a sufficient amount of fertilizer is received, already at the end of March - beginning of April, the rose bush will delight with the first young leaves and shoots of twigs. By mid-May, buds appear on the trunk, which within 10-14 days will begin to gradually bloom.

Depending on the group affiliation, flowering lasts until late summer - early autumn. Sometimes the flowering process is delayed, New Year holidays the beautiful Christmas tree is replaced by a pot with a blooming stem of an indoor rose. In this case, it is necessary to additionally apply fertilizer and especially carefully monitor the air humidity around the flower.

Watering remains the same.

If buds appear on the trunk and immediately dry out, this indicates improper conditions during the dormant period. The flower was flooded or temperature regime violated more than once.

After the last flower has faded on the bush, the plant needs to rest and gain strength for the next growing season. To do this, branches are pruned and certain temperature and watering regimes are created for the trunk. With proper maintenance, in early spring the rose bush will begin to send out young shoots and bloom again.

Basic care of the trunk during the growing season

For a rose bush to become a real decoration in your home, you need to create for it optimal conditions during the period of growth. At the beginning of the growing season and throughout the entire period, the flower needs to be given a lot of attention; if you treat it with your sleeves down, forgetting about watering, fertilizing and spraying, the result will not be a fragrant bush, but a dry broom.

The period of awakening of the rose bush in room conditions

Rose, both garden and indoor, does not tolerate high temperatures, they are destructive for her.

For development to proceed normally, you should take into account the following tips:

In the middle or towards the end of March, a pot with a stem is placed on well-lit window sills; roses react well to the sun's rays
You need to gradually increase watering; it is important to promptly moisten the soil when it dries out. In spring and early summer, one-time watering every 1-2 days is sufficient; when the air temperature rises, the amount of moisture should be increased. Sometimes rose bushes are watered twice a day; this is done in very hot weather.
To grow roses indoors, a certain air humidity is also necessary; this is achieved by spraying from a spray bottle. This is done several times a day in the summer; at the beginning of the growing season, it is enough to carry out the procedure once a day.
Rose bushes need light, but from direct sun rays the plant can get sunburn which can lead to death. To ensure development occurs without unnecessary incidents, south, south-east and south-west windows are ideal for growing roses in pots. If your home is in the sun all day, then for window sills with bollards it is worth creating artificial partial shade using a regular sheet of paper or a napkin.
Optimal mode for summer period 20-25 degrees, it is at this temperature that the normal development of the plant, its leaves, buds and flowers occurs. If the thermometer readings are higher, then it is worth increasing watering and intensifying spraying of the bush. Sometimes even such measures do not help, then the pots are removed to cooler places, removed from the windowsills during the day, and a special air humidifier is used
They begin to feed the plant as soon as it is exposed to light; at first the concentration is made very small, about a third of the norm specified in the instructions. It is worth gradually increasing the amount of nutrients. Wherein important point alternation of mineral and organic products. The procedure is carried out every week, after watering the bush abundantly
But it is worth carefully observing which fertilizer the flower responds to better. Gradually, priority remains with fertilizer of this type, the second one is used more as an auxiliary one. But you shouldn’t completely abandon less effective feeding; sometimes it can stimulate the plant to actively flower or even save the trunk during a difficult period of its life.
During flowering, the application of fertilizing is slightly reduced, the concentration should be slightly weaker. Excess fertilizer can lead to wilting of the bush, and sometimes to its death.
From time to time, roses need to be given a short bath in a cool shower. This procedure will rid the leaves of accumulated dust and possible external pests, and will also have a positive effect on the air humidity around the trunk
Swimming is contraindicated for the next few days after preventive measures for pest control of both ground and ground parts. This procedure will have a negative impact on the plant if the temperature is too low, bathing can cause rotting of the root system

After flowering ends, the trunk must be trimmed.

It is necessary to do this correctly and efficiently; the development of the bush at the beginning of the next season depends on this procedure.

The procedure is carried out sharp knife or garden pruning shears:

Old branches are removed at the root, leaving stumps up to 3 cm high
Young shoots are pruned above the 5th living bud, and it is important that the shoot also has several leaves

In addition, the formation of a bush can be carried out throughout the growing season. Some subspecies of the plant are specially trimmed to achieve a certain shape. Most often you can see rose bushes in a ball-shaped pot; this looks unusual in the interior.

In addition, flowering cubes, prisms, trapezoids and volumetric triangles are popular. Some people cut the plant according to special patterns with complex elements.

Care during the rest period

Flowers feel cared for

After pruning for the dormant period, which usually coincides with winter, homemade rose sent to a cooler room. At the same time, watering is reduced, and spraying can be abandoned altogether.

In order for the rose bush to feel normal during the dormant period and be able to regain strength for new growth and flowering, it needs to create the following conditions:

The temperature should not exceed 10-15 degrees
The plant should be kept away from heating devices
In the autumn-winter period, short daylight hours are sufficient for the plant. It is worth supplementing the illumination with lamps only when the flowering period of the plant is prolonged.
Watering is reduced and the top layer of soil can be allowed to dry out slightly. Under no circumstances should the earthen clod be allowed to dry out. Water 1-2 times a week
They refuse to spray and fertilize altogether.

To support required humidity A trick is used around the indoor plant. Moistened expanded clay is poured into the tray, a stand is placed, and a pot with a homemade rose is placed on it.

The ideal room for relaxation in an apartment would be the bathroom, but you should take into account the fact that the flower may not tolerate hot fumes. Roses behave well in basements, most flower growers send them there. The main thing is that during severe frosts the temperature in the basement does not drop below +5, this will destroy the rose in the pot forever.

In winter, during the dormant period, you can see flowerpots with flowering rose bushes on the windows. To save the flower you should trim and create the necessary conditions for relax. Continuous flowering will destroy the plant very soon.

If the flower does not want to retire, and the gardener wants to admire the flowering longer, it is worth shifting the period of the beginning of the growing season. Strictly maintained rest periods are extremely necessary for such plants.

Features of care immediately after purchase

After purchasing a rose bush in a pot, or you were simply given a standard as a gift, it should adapt to the surrounding microclimate. During this period, it is completely unacceptable to make a transplant immediately upon arrival home. The flower will need about 10-14 days to get used to it; after this period, you can experiment a little with it.

Summer option for decorating the facade of your home

In order for the rose to survive the stress associated with “moving”, it is necessary to create suitable conditions. In this case, adaptation will be faster and more efficient, and the flower will soon begin to bloom and develop further. Experienced flower growers advise that in the first week of the rose’s stay in your home, create conditions as close as possible to store conditions:

Maintain the air temperature as in a flower shop, this is approximately 16-19 degrees
Spray the plant regularly, it is best to do this in the first half of the day and immediately after lunch, so that the stems and leaves have time to dry before dark.
Undrained moisture can develop into putrefactive formations that develop quickly and can destroy the plant
If a flower was purchased in winter and has a lot of buds and flowers, you need to take care of artificial supplementary lighting. To do this, they use special lamps, which you can ask about at the same flower shop.
It is worth understanding that there are two types of lamps, which of them is more suitable for your pet should be explained by the consultant. When purchasing a lamp, if possible, agree on a possible replacement or return of the product within the warranty period, as practice shows, roses in a pot can react differently to such “helpers”
Water regularly and carefully monitor the condition of the soil in the pot. Do not allow the earthen clod to sour or dry out
Carry out preventive treatment with fungicides to prevent diseases and pest damage

After the rose in the pot has come to terms with the change in microclimate, it can be replanted and gradually accustomed to its new place of residence. To do this, it is advisable to change the pot and soil.

Replanting the rose bush after adaptation is mandatory; most of the soils used for planting in such cases are not suitable for further growing indoor flowers.

Transfer rules

In order for a rose to grow well and delight you with flowering at home, it needs to be provided with high-quality soil. From it she will draw useful ingredients for herself through the roots. required quantity. It is not necessary to replant a rose bush often; such manipulations are carried out once every 2-3 years or immediately after purchase in a store.

Transplanting indoor roses

House rose in a pot: How to care for it at home? (20+ Photos & Videos) + Reviews

To do everything correctly, you need to know some of the subtleties of transplantation:

First you need to choose a container for planting. Any plant will feel most comfortable in a high-quality ceramic pot. If you couldn’t find one that matches the color or design, you can transplant the rose bush into a plastic one. The selected container for transplantation should be 3-5 cm wider than the previous one, but the height for roses is not important
From an aesthetic point of view, a low pot is more suitable for roses. These are the dimensions most often chosen by designers to create unusual interiors. The shape and size will help the gardener independently experiment with the formation of the bush. For high capacity, such solutions will also be acceptable, but not every figure will create the desired effect. Smaller vessels will fit more aesthetically into almost any design in the house, and on the windowsill a wide bowl will provide more space for the standard.
The second, no less important step is the selection of soil. It is on this component that the development and growth of the rose bush most depends. Incorrectly selected or poor-quality ingredients will soon destroy the rose, but if everything is done correctly, the flower will thank you for this with lush greenery and lush flowering
Ideal for Rosaceae, a soil mixture of 1 part turf soil, 1 part humus and ¼ sand is suitable. You have to prepare it yourself, mix all the ingredients well and let it warm up a little at room temperature. If it is not possible to prepare such a mixture, you can use a purchased substrate for indoor plants or a regular universal one.
It is worth knowing that the plant can react to universal soil. This manifests itself in a sharp yellowing and shedding of foliage, withering of flowers and buds, drying out of twigs
The preparatory process does not end here; in order to transplant the rose into conditions that are comfortable for it, it is necessary to think about drainage. To do this, a layer of expanded clay is placed at the bottom of the selected container; its height should be at least 2 cm. If such material cannot be obtained, you can use small crushed stone, pebbles or large balls of ordinary packaging foam

The transplant process is in full swing

The basic preparations have been made, now you can begin the transplant itself. Water the flower in an old pot well and let the roots and soil soften for 10-15 minutes. Then the trunk is taken out of the pot and, by transferring it, transplanted into a prepared container.

A layer of expanded clay is covered with a nutritious soil mixture, and an earthen ball of indoor rose is placed on it
Gradually fill the pot with soil, filling all the gaps
After this, lightly trample the soil and water
It is advisable to place the transplanted trunk in the shade for a day or place it in a north window

Do not trample down the soil in the pot too much; rosaceae grow better in airy, fluffy soil mixtures.

After a day's rest, the transplanted trunk is determined on permanent place residence, which should be well lit, but without direct sunlight. There are no drafts either in the best possible way will affect the growth and development of a home rose in a pot. Access will be essential fresh air, maintenance optimal temperature and humidity.

If the transplant occurs during the period after purchasing the flower, then it is worth removing the buds from the stem as much as possible. Usually a couple of buds and no more than three flowers are left.

Fertilizers and fertilizers

Any indoor plant in a pot needs feeding; a limited amount of soil will not be able to fully meet all the needs of the flower. The indoor rose is no exception; it must be fed regularly, this is the only way the standard will have a healthy appearance and delight with flowers. In addition, fertilizing will help the plant in the fight against pests and diseases, increasing its immunity and resistance to disease. various factors from outside.

For domestic roses, it is necessary to use organic and mineral fertilizers, and simultaneous application can destroy the plant.

Therefore, it is best to adhere to this feeding schedule from early spring to early autumn:

Add organic matter for one week; rose bushes respond best to spotted mullein. It is prepared from one part of dry cow dung soaked in one part of water. Such a product should stand for at least 10-15 days, but in pure form It cannot be used, it is too concentrated. For feeding per liter of water, only 100-150 g of this infusion is enough
Sometimes fertilizing is prepared from poultry droppings; for this, 100 g of dry matter is poured with 5 liters of water and kept for at least 20 days. In this case, the temperature regime at which the product fermented will be important. Most suitable option− this is a basement where the temperature will not be higher than +15. Apply ready-made product it is necessary in even smaller doses than mullein; 20-30 g per liter of water for irrigation is enough.
A concentrated infusion would also be a good option. chicken manure, only for one part of dry matter you need three parts of water. Infuse it for at least 20 days, and use it in the same way as mullein
You can prepare all three options for natural organic fertilizer and apply them alternately. The rose will only benefit from this; within 1-1.5 months it will receive in a balanced manner everything necessary for the growth and development of not only foliage
The second week for Rosaceae should be mineral; fertilizers are applied exactly seven days after fertilizing with organic substances occurred. Can be used universal remedy for indoor flowering plants or purchase a special one for indoor roses

Mineral fertilizer for indoor roses

Fertilizing is applied in the first half of the day; it is better to do this after watering. It is better to carry out the procedure in clear weather; a cloudy sky does not contribute to the normal absorption of applied fertilizers.

After buying a new rose

If you have a decorative rose in a pot, you need to take care of it from the very first days. Once you have purchased a new plant, do not rush to replant it new pot, let the rose stand on the windowsill for several days and get used to the new atmosphere for it.

Please note that the new pot should be approximately 3 cm wider than the previous one and approximately 6 cm higher.

It is better to leave a brand new ceramic pot in water for a couple of hours. A pot that has been used before should be washed thoroughly, but without using soap.

We put drainage at the bottom of the pot, then fill it with soil and special fertilizer granules. We pre-water the rose in the old pot and remove it directly during transplantation. Place the plant with its roots in a new pot and carefully cover it with soil, compacting the soil. There is no need to water it again.

Immediately after transplanting, we put the rose in the shade and only the next day we move the pot into the sun, where it will remain in the future.

You can start feeding the rose about a month from the day it was transplanted. You can either fertilize the soil under the rose or spray its leaves with a special solution. Fertilizing is carried out twice a month in the evening after watering.

Under no circumstances should you fertilize a sick plant, or a plant that has recently been transplanted. It is also best to refrain from using fertilizers in rainy and cool weather.

Note to the florist

An indoor rose differs from an ordinary rose in its miniature size. Its bushes reach a height of no more than 35-45 cm. Potted rose flowers are very beautiful, small, of various colors, and can be fragrant or odorless. Dutch or Danish roses in pots are often sold in Russia. As a rule, potted roses are sold already in bloom. A healthy plant has lush green leaves without painful-looking spots or damage. The leaves must be elastic, stay well on the stem and not fall off! Under no circumstances should there be black areas on the stems! When purchasing, you need to take a good look at the flower: a large number of buds is acceptable, but they should not be open! Be sure to remove the gift wrapping and look closely at the leaves and stems.

Most roses are stored in refrigerators when sold. Getting into warm apartment, the plant is under stress, for acclimatization, they should be maintained indoors at a temperature between 15-18°C.

The most optimal time to buy roses - cold season, period from autumn to spring. It's best to buy this indoor plant in February and March. Potted roses prefer:

sunny side of the house; it is necessary to choose southern or south-eastern windows;
enriched soil;
free access to fresh air during hot periods;
good watering;
fertilizing at least once a week during active growth and flowering;
transplanting into a spacious pot from a cramped one.

They don't like flowers:

excessive heat;
wilted flowers on the plant;
cold water for irrigation;
pests and diseases;
damage to the root system during transplantation.

Caring for a rose is not as troublesome as it seems at first glance. You just need to follow some rules. It would be good to give the rose a warm shower immediately after the purchase. This procedure will help clean the leaves from road dust, and also partially eliminate their presence. spider mite, if there is one. Just in case, at first it is better to place the “new home” on a separate windowsill. This will help protect other plants from infection by pests that might have taken a fancy to the potted rose in the store. It should be borne in mind that when selling, most roses are stored in refrigerators. Once in a warm apartment, the plant experiences enormous stress. In order for acclimatization to be gentle and gradual, at first the room temperature should be maintained within 15-18°C.

Watering flowers with regular tap water at room temperature, pre-settled for at least a day. Watering is carried out as the soil dries: not too often, but not rarely. Make sure that the water in the pot does not stagnate. Because of this root system begins to rot, which often causes the death of the plant. It would be good to spray the underside of the leaves with cold water from time to time. boiled water from a spray bottle. A good time to transplant is when the moon is in its waxing phase. But don't delay it! Most often, store pots are filled with peat substrate, which over time can destroy the roots. Special soil for roses and chrysanthemums is ideal for replanting. Its composition is most favorable for the growth of plants that are accustomed to neutral acidity soil.

Transplantation should be carried out very carefully so as not to injure the root system!

It is better to choose a larger pot for roses. Experienced gardeners It is advised not to take containers smaller than 40 cm in diameter. A layer of drainage about 1-3 cm thick is usually poured onto the bottom of the pot, and soil is poured on top. After transplantation, the plant is not watered, placed in a dark and cool place for a day, and then placed on a well-lit windowsill. Roses are fed throughout the entire growth period (especially in spring and summer) in small doses, but quite often. It is best to choose special fertilizers that contain essential microelements. Fertilizer can also be applied by a foliar method, in which the leaves of the plant are sprayed with a weak fertilizer solution.

In winter, caring for roses consists of maintaining the necessary lighting for them. To do this, they need to create additional lighting using LED and fluorescent lamps. If this is not possible, then it is better to put the plant into hibernation. To do this, reduce the temperature to +10…+15°C. At the same time, the plant’s metabolic processes slow down, but it does not die and tolerates winter well. During sleep, fertilizer is not applied, the frequency of watering is reduced, but low soil moisture is maintained. If your “green friend” begins to slowly dry out, don’t immediately become disheartened! This often happens in the first 2-3 weeks after acquisition, and this can already be considered a pattern. However, the flower will still have to provide special care. As a rule, the wilting process begins at the ends of the branches. They need to be cut back to a healthy stem, without sparing the plant. After pruning, the rose sends out young shoots from the thorns, and soon new ones form in place of the old branches. By the way, professionals advise periodically trimming the plant several times a year. This procedure promotes vigorous flowering of bushes.
