Rose is a very beautiful plant that has incredibly beautiful flowers. Indeed, their terry buds can rarely leave anyone indifferent. But at the same time it has a complex disposition and high requirements in the field of care. Every little thing matters in caring for this flower - one wrong move, and the flower begins to wither, or even dies altogether. To avoid this, special rules and recommendations must be followed in caring for a rose.

General rules for caring for roses

In order for roses to delight you with their flowering and healthy appearance, you must follow the basic rules for caring for this plant. Only an integrated approach will help grow beautiful flowers, so let's look at the basic conditions for growing roses at home.

  • Usually, when they want a quick result, the plant is planted in black soil. But this doesn't work with roses. Yes, the bush will be lush and large, but making it bloom will be problematic. If you want the flowering to be abundant, then you need to be smart about the choice of soil. Remember that roses love loam - soil that contains some of the clay. But black soil is a bad option for this flower.

Rose care

  • An important part of caring for this plant is pruning the bush. Here you need to cut all the weak and thin shoots without regret. Because if you leave too much, then the bush will grow poorly. Also, the middle of the bush should be well cleaned - this is done to prevent diseases.
  • Top dressing for roses in summer is one of the key moments in growing roses. Feeding starts in spring and ends in the fall. All sorts of means are used, from purchased ready-made fertilizers to urea and ammonium nitrate of our own production.
  • Watering this fastidious plant should occur about once a week, but if the weather is especially hot, then you can increase the watering frequency and do it every 4-5 days. It must be remembered that watering should be done strictly in the evening, and only at the root, because when moisture gets on the leaves, it leads to various diseases. The water should be at room temperature - cold water can harm the roots. Watering too often can seriously harm the plant.
  • Most often, roses are sick with powdery mildew and black spot. To prevent this, flowers should be treated with special preparations. In addition to these diseases, the plant often suffers from aphids. You can also get rid of it with drugs.
  • When the inflorescence withers, it must be cut off, with the help of this you stimulate the growth of new shoots and accelerate the appearance of new flowers.

You should also know what types of fertilizers you need to use and how they act on the bushes. To fertilize roses, they usually use:

  • nitrogen - it stimulates the growth of leaves and shoots and improves the budding process;
  • phosphorus - promotes abundant flowering and easy wintering;
  • potassium, iron - help to retain water and resist disease;
  • trace elements - strengthen the rose;
