Rose Poetry

To grow a rose of the Nina Weibul variety on your site, you need to take into account some nuances:

  • The optimal planting time is spring (the first half of May, when the ground is already warm enough).
  • The place is chosen protected from drafts, sunny. It is better to grow a rose at a small elevation, since the plant does not tolerate stagnant water.
  • Roses prefer moist, fertile and well-drained soil. The acidity of the soil should be in the range of 5.6 to 7.3 pH. Crushed stone or gravel, which is poured into the bottom of the planting pit, can act as drainage.
  • A spacious planting pit is prepared for the rose so that the roots of the seedling can freely settle in it.

Landing

  • A soil mixture is used from garden soil, sand, humus and peat. Superphosphate is introduced.
  • For seedlings with an open root system, you need to prepare a clay talker and soak the roots in it for 3-4 hours before planting.
  • The grafting site can be buried 2 cm in the ground. This will help to activate the formation of additional roots and, accordingly, lead to better rooting.
  • After planting, the seedlings are watered abundantly.
  • The trunk circle is mulched using peat.

Rose Care Nina Weibull

Rose first lady

Rosa Nina Weibul is considered one of the most unpretentious in care, however, in order to get abundant and long flowering, you need to follow the basic agrotechnical techniques.

Important! Rosa Nina needs regular watering - once a week.If the summer is hot and dry, the rose is watered more often, not allowing the earth to dry out. To maintain soil moisture, the plantings are mulched with peat, which also prevents the growth of weeds.

Roses are fed twice during the season. In the spring, before the buds appear, nitrogen fertilization is applied. In the summer, the rose needs to be fed with phosphorus-potassium fertilizers. They give strength to the plant and stimulate flowering well.

Note! In the first year after planting, in order for the plant to take root well and gain strength, it is better not to allow flowering. For this, the buds are cut. In August, 1-2 flowers are left on each stem to ripen the fruits. Thus, the rose will grow stronger and next season you can admire the abundant flowering.

An important agricultural technique for caring for floribunda is pruning, both formative and sanitary. The main procedure occurs in the spring (before the opening of the kidneys). All damaged stems are removed. Flowers are formed on the shoots of the current year, therefore, it is recommended to prune all branches older than two years of age. This ensures the continuous flowering of the rose every year. For an earlier flowering, medium pruning is carried out, leaving 5-7 buds on each branch.

Important! If the bush needs rejuvenation, radical pruning is carried out. In this case, 2-4 buds should remain on the shoot.

Sanitary pruning is carried out in the fall and spring. During this procedure, all damaged, weak branches are removed. It is also recommended to remove shoots growing inside the bush, as they create unwanted shadow. Pruning in the fall will prepare the bush for winter. The bush becomes more compact and easier to cover. Pruning is carried out in late autumn when a steady cold snap sets in.

Timely removal of faded inflorescences during the season stimulates re-flowering.

The soil in a flowerbed with roses must be loosened, as this ensures air exchange, improves the soil and increases moisture absorption. The procedure should be carried out the next day after watering or rains in order to break the dry crust on the surface of the substrate. Simultaneously with loosening, weeds are usually removed.

Preparing the plant for winter

Rose Renaissance

Rose (variety Nina Weibul) is considered winter-hardy, but in regions with a harsh climate it needs shelter. In the south, an adult plant can winter without it, but in central Russia, and even more so to the north, one cannot do without warming for the winter.

Interesting!With the onset of stable cold weather (with frosts below -7 ° C or more), all foliage and buds are removed from the bush. The stems should be cut, leaving 30-40 cm. The bush is covered with earth, covered with spruce branches or non-woven material. In the spring, the shelter must be removed in a timely manner.
