Rose Geisha

Artemis seedlings can be planted in spring (April) or autumn (October).

It is better to purchase planting material in well-known nurseries; seedlings with a closed root system are sent in individual sealed packages with a lump of soil. These seedlings arrive at the customers healthy and ready for immediate planting. Such planting material quickly acclimatizes in a new place and quickly begins to build up vegetative mass.

A well-lit area is suitable for these rose bushes, but the Artemis rose can grow and bloom profusely in light partial shade. The main thing is that there is no stagnation of moisture in the soil on the site, and the groundwater does not come close to the soil surface - otherwise the roots of this perennial may begin to rot.

Planting a rose

The distance between adjacent seedlings should be at least 0.5 m, and the depth of the planting pits should be up to 40 cm.

The soil on the site can be any - from sandy loam to clay. But on clay and loamy soils, a layer of drainage material 5-6 cm thick should be laid on the bottom of the pit, and the site itself should be fertilized with a mixture of humus, peat and river sand in order to improve the clay soil. When planting such roses on sandy soils, alumina is added to them before planting.

Planting Artemis roses does not differ from planting other varieties of roses in the open ground.

  • loosening of near-trunk circles with further mulching;
