Agricultural technology of cultivation

Landing place

Rose Lady Emma Hamilton

Rose Dinky loves a bright place, if it is in the open sun all day, it will quickly fade. Also in the southern regions from UV rays, burns can form on the petals. A place where there will be partial shade after lunch is suitable.

Important! The normal state of the rose depends on the choice of a good site for planting.

If the planting site has good air circulation, then the rose will be less susceptible to diseases and pests.

You should not plant a flower in a low place, as a cold air stream is held there, and the plant will wither.

Soil for planting

The soil should be fertile, breathable, light and deep, which will provide access to the roots of nutrients. To improve heavy clay soils, peat, compost, sand, humus are added. Sandy soils are too light, infertile, and quickly heat up. Water in such land seeps very quickly. Add clay soil, humus or peat-manure compost, sod land.

On a note. The most suitable are slightly acidic soils.

You can increase the acidity by adding peat or manure. Ash and lime material are used for reduction. Due to the deep-rooted root system of the Dinky musky hybrid rose, the groundwater must lie at a depth of 1 meter, otherwise the plant will be sick with black spot.

Landing

They begin to plant in April-May in the northern regions and central Russia. In the autumn period, you need to have time to move the plant to the site so that it takes root before the cold weather. Seedlings with a closed root system are planted all summer.

Planting begins in April-May

Stages:

  1. Dig a hole 60 cm deep.
  2. Drainage is made at the bottom of the pit: small stones, gravel, crushed stone. The layer thickness is 10 centimeters.
  3. Rotted manure or compost is placed on top. The layer is about 10 centimeters.
  4. Further, garden soil is laid with the same thickness as a dome.
  5. Before planting, the seedling is placed in a growth stimulator - Heteroauxin for a day. The plant will take root faster and tolerate planting more easily.
  6. Very long and damaged roots are cut with pruning shears to normal wood.
  7. If the shrub has an open root system, it is easier to plant with a buddy. One person holds the seedling so that the root collar deepens by 3 cm, the other straightens parts of the plant in the hole, sprinkles it with earth and presses it a little.The root collar should not be visible on the surface. This will allow additional stems to grow.
  8. A seedling with an earthen lump is simply placed in the hole, sprinkled and tamped.
  9. Pour water under the root.
  10. If the soil has subsided, you need to add it.
  11. Mulch with peat.

Reproduction

The breeding process takes place by cuttings and layering.

Additional Information. You can vaccinate with rose hips, but gardeners consider it impractical.

After the rose has faded for the first time, cuttings are taken from the grown and strengthened bushes. They take root well and winter. An adult rose is bent to the ground for the period of cold weather. When propagated by seeds, the flower will not retain parental characteristics.

Care

It consists in systematic loosening, watering, fertilizing, removing weeds, preventive measures against pests.

Fertilizer

Feeding is different in different seasons. Nitrogen fertilizers are applied in the spring, phosphorus and potassium fertilizers in the summer.

Watering

The Hybrid is drought tolerant but still needs hydration, especially during dry and hot periods. The water should be warm. A bush requires up to 20 liters of water. In dry and warm weather, watering is required 2 times a week. At the end of summer, humidification becomes less and less frequent and stops by autumn. In the first year until August, early buds must be removed. By the end of summer, 2 flowers are left on the shoots to set fruits. The rose tolerates winter better this way and produces many buds next year.

Pruning

Pruning is done in the spring when the buds are swelling. It is necessary to distinguish, on last year or on current shoots, flowers will form. Also, the gardener needs to decide on the purpose of pruning: to form a trunk or abundant and early flowering.

Spring rose care

Types of shoot removal:

  • Strong (short cut). Leave 2-4 buds on the branches. It is used in spring for young seedlings after planting and for rejuvenating old bushes.
  • Medium (moderate). 5-7 buds are left. Pruning promotes early flowering and high decorativeness.
  • Weak (long). It is used in summer to remove faded buds.

On a note. Pruning is carried out during the entire growth of the hybrid bush. In the spring, frozen shoots and tops of branches are necessarily cut off. In the autumn, they do sanitary procedures: remove sick damaged stems, thin out the rose bush. In the summer, cut the bud with the top of the shoot to regulate flowering.

Shelter for the winter

They begin to insulate the bush when the temperature drops more than -7 degrees. It is necessary to mulch with compost, humus or garden soil. Basically, they are insulated with spruce branches. It is placed between the roses and on top of the plant. Next, they make a frame, lay insulation. A film is pulled from above and air vents are left on the sides. In March - April they begin to air. In order for the rose to not start growing ahead of time, you need to remove the top film in advance.
