Correct planting of a rose in spring in open ground

A few rules will help you grow healthy and luxuriously flowering plants.

Site preparation, soil and planting material

Having chosen weeds, it is necessary to add compost, dolomite flour, mineral fertilizers, for example, Kemira Universal. If the soil in the chosen place is heavy, then it is recommended to add sand and peat. If light - clay. Having dug up the soil, it is necessary to let the soil settle for about 1-2 weeks, and preferably 1 month. If there are 2-3 weeks before planting, you can spill the soil with an infusion of fermented grass or mullein. From the purchased preparations, Shine is suitable. Then, before planting, it is advisable to cover the soil with dark lutrasil.

Before planting, it is useful to place the root system of all purchased seedlings in a solution of copper sulfate for the prevention of diseases (1 tbsp. L. Per bucket of water). Or any other growth promoter.

Landing rules

The dilemma of how to plant a rose in the ground in spring and how to grow it healthy is solved quite simply. You just need to perform a few sequential steps:

1. Dig a hole 30–35 cm deep.
2. Put humus on the bottom and sprinkle with earth.
3. Trim the roots 2–3 cm.
4. Plant a seedling in a hole so that the grafting site is 3–5 cm below the soil level with dry soil and above the level by the same 3–5 cm with constant waterlogging. This will allow the seedling not to freeze and not lock up. For self-rooted roses, the depth of the root collar is 2-3 cm, and for standard roses 10 cm.
5. Add nutrient mixture from a bucket of compost, a glass of ash and a glass of bone meal or vermicompost. Shake the seedling so that the composition penetrates between the roots. Pour earth on top and compact around the seedling.
6. Spill a bucket of water and spill. At the same time, self-rooted roses do not spud.
7. Apply with lutrasil. The plant should not be opened for a couple of weeks. During this time, the buds will begin to grow.
8. Then remove the shelter, break the bushes, prune the branches and mulch the soil around the bushes.

Features of planting roses in spring in the Moscow region, in Siberia and the Urals

For the Siberian climate, spring plantings are preferable and they begin in May. The same can be said about the cultivation of roses in the Urals. Unlike the Moscow region, the growing season of culture in the northern and territories and territories of central Russia is much shorter. And if the plant does not have time to root properly, it will not survive the frost.

Time for successful rooting is the main advantage of spring open field planting. In addition, the roses, correctly planted in spring, will open their buds and become a garden decoration in just a couple of months.
