Fertilizer should also be treated reasonably: everything is good in moderation. Typically, the plant is fertilized immediately after watering. The frequency of fertilizing depends on the condition of the soil. Approximately every 14 days.
Like the rest of the pink family, the flower does not tolerate heat, although it loves sunlight very much. On especially hot days, it is necessary to create conditions so that the flower does not overheat and does not get burned. Especially at noon, when the heat is maximum.
Watering increases with increasing air temperature. In the evening, you can delight the plant with spraying.
After watering, it is worth loosening the soil, removing weeds, grass, everything that prevents the soil from fully allowing air to pass through.
It is necessary from time to time, in order to prevent pests, diseases, to spray plants with special means. These tips apply to growing a plant in a garden.
However, as mentioned above, the garden is not the only place where the Cordana rose can be grown. A flower grows well in an apartment.
The soil is purchased in a specialized store, as well as top dressing. It is worth purchasing a container in advance into which a flower transplant is planned. A bright and spacious place is well suited for planting. There should be no drafts.
In summer it is allowed to transfer to the balcony. Great if it is a spacious loggia. Flowers will feel great there. The temperature regime must be observed - not higher than +20 degrees. Otherwise, the plant will overheat and this will affect its further growth.
In general, when dealing with roses, in everything you need to observe the "golden mean".Most likely, this is why there is an opinion among the people that a rose is a capricious flower. It is, of course, unfounded. Any plant requires care. But not all plants are able to thank for this care with such beauty as flowering.
Growing a potted plant may require more fertilizer than growing outdoors.
Winter is well lived with the Cordana rose. Wintering takes place without any problems and unnecessary worries. Any other, less whimsical plant can envy such resistance to frost.
At home, experienced flower growers achieve constant flowering of the rose.
There is one caveat: these roses do not smell at all, which is usual for a flower.
For the winter, the plant is pruned with the remains of several buds on the shoots. After pruning, they are removed to a cool room. You need to water the plant minimally, feeding is not needed at all.
How the Cordana rose mix reproduces
Reproduction of the Cordana rose occurs by cuttings.
To root a flower, you need to choose the strongest shoot, already ready for the flowering process. Weak and thin shoots are excluded, they will not germinate. The main sign of the readiness of the shoot for reproduction is the free breaking of the thorns.
To cut the shoots, a sharp, disinfected tool is taken. Optimum cutting size: 12-15 cm. There should also be 2-3 buds and a few leaves. If all these signs are present, the shoot can be rooted.
After cutting the shoots, they need to be processed.
To process the shoots, the following actions are carried out:
- Thorns, leaves in the lower part are removed;
- Remove the lower thorns and leaves;
- Cut the rest of the greens by 2/3. In this case, moisture evaporation can be slower;
- Soak the sections for a few minutes in a special solution to stimulate growth.
Another way: to grow a Cordana rose from seeds. This is much more difficult and time consuming. From the cuttings - much easier.

- A pot with drainage holes is selected, pebbles are lined at the bottom as drainage, from above they are covered with earth mixed with nutrients, and on top of this layer, pure soil is added. A seedling is planted on this soil.
- The soil must be tamped tightly and immediately watered with water at room temperature. Leave a distance of 2 cm between the edge of the pot and the soil surface.

A good option for covering material is spruce branches. It can be successfully used under roses, from below, and upward, covering plants from the cold. In this case, a large amount of material will be required, this must be taken into account in advance so that there is enough for all the shrubs.
