Tea rose planting and care in the open field

The tea rose has long and firmly won the love of many people who have at least some piece of land. Modern tea rose varieties are striking in the choice of colors and different varieties. But in order for a beautiful rose to please the eye in our areas, you need to properly plant and properly care for it.

Planting a tea rose

1. First of all, a tea rose should be planted not where it will be “beautiful”, but where it will be most comfortable for it. We plant the rose in a sunny and open place. Since this place must be protected from cold winds, it is desirable to be located near trees.

2. When planting a tea rose, I make sure that the place where the graft was made is 3-6 cm deep into the ground. If sandy soils prevail on the site, the rose should be planted a little deeper. And if the earth is clay - a little shallower.

3. I prepare the soil for planting a rose in a month. I weed the soil and mix it with compost. I leave the distance between the cuttings about 20-35 cm. I slightly tilt the seedlings with their leaves to the north. Then I water the roses thoroughly and cover them with brown or bluish plastic bottle tops. They will retain moisture and protect from winds. For this, 2 liter bottles are best suited. bluish color.

Tea rose care

I huddle a tea rose (annuals) by making a mound of 20-25 cm near it. It is necessary to ensure that this mound height remains the same all the time. Hilling bushes helps in the formation of new roots. As a rule, such bushes live a long time and delight with good flowering.

I always remove wilted flowers from bushes. This simple procedure allows further bud formation and prolongs the flowering of the bushes. I also follow blind shoots that do not bear flowers. If you cut them off in time, they will soon begin to bloom too.

I pay a lot of attention to watering the tea rose. It should be remembered that just light watering, even daily, will not give results. Before watering, I make a hole 15-20 cm deep around the plant and pour water there (the water should not be cold and settled), and after the water is absorbed, I cover the hole with earth. I water the tea rose once every 5-8 days during the active growing season, and if the weather is hot, then once every 3-5 days. I pour from 5 to 10 liters under one bush. water. This is for a regular rose. And if you have a climbing rose - then from 10 to 15 liters. Watering tea roses in the evening.

You should pay attention to the correct feeding of the tea rose. A complete complex fertilizer, including phosphorus, potassium and nitrogen in equal proportions, is best given to plants in early spring; during flowering, such feeding will only bring harm. Nitrogen is needed in spring and in the first half of summer for the active growth of shoots and leaves. Phosphorus and potassium contribute to abundant flowering, so they are fertilized with a tea rose during budding. Roses should not be fed during the flowering period. Roses are not fed in autumn either, because nitrogen fertilizers promote the growth of new shoots, the wood of which will not have time to ripen, and these shoots will simply freeze in winter.

If you take into account all these recommendations, then you can grow wonderful and healthy bushes of tea roses on your site.

The tea rose is rightfully considered the most popular flower among those planted in summer cottages, and all thanks to the variety of coloring, unique aroma and comparative frost resistance of this plant.

To date, breeders have bred a huge variety of types of tea roses, therefore every gardener can choose the right kind, there are such diverse representatives of different species that it seems that they have nothing in common, but it is still the same species - a tea rose.

Suitable place for planting

It is no secret that this flower is very finicky, therefore, a lot of effort should be made to obtain abundant fragrant flowering. First of all, you need to choose a suitable place for planting flowers; a sunny area is suitable for a tea rose, which is reliably protected from winds and drafts. When choosing a place for planting, also pay attention to the soil, or rather its composition. Optimally, if the soil is loose and slightly acidic, then the plant will bloom longer and more abundantly.

Advice: think about how you can protect the plant in winter, and also do not forget to set aside a place for pegs, for which you will need to tie up the bushes so that they do not suffer from strong gusts of wind.

Optimal watering

The tea rose is particularly picky about watering, it can neither be overdried nor poured, any watering should be "in moderation". To begin with, the lack of moisture soon affects the size of the buds, the abundance of flowering and even the intensity of the aroma that the flower exudes. On average, roses need to be watered every 10-12 days, it is best to do this after sunset, and it is best to water it at the root.

If the summer is hot and without rain, then the bush should be watered more often.

Immediately after watering, the ground near the bush must be mulched in order to ensure the supply of oxygen to the root system. Rain or settled water is best suited for this procedure.

Necessary feeding

The appearance of flowers largely depends on the amount of fertilizer applied; many varieties may not even bloom without the required amount of dressings. Complex mineral fertilizers for roses must necessarily contain magnesium, potassium and phosphorus.

The first top dressing is performed with nitrogen fertilizers, the second - containing potassium, and all subsequent ones - organic and mineral fertilizers alternate. It should be remembered that it is especially important to introduce the necessary trace elements at the stage of growth, budding and flowering.

Planting bushes

In the first half of May, flower growers start planting a tea rose in their garden, for this the grafted plant is lowered into water for 2-3 hours in order to absorb the required amount of moisture. After this procedure, a special talker is prepared for the roots of the flower, consisting of clay, manure and water, it is advisable to dip the rhizome of the tea rose in this solution just before planting. Such a simple procedure will help the plant more easily adapt to new conditions and quickly take root in the new land.

The planting hole should be 40-50 centimeters long, after planting, the bush should be watered abundantly, and then the hilling procedure should be carried out.

Advice: if you plan to plant several rose bushes, then try to keep the distance between them at least 50-60 centimeters, otherwise one plant will interfere with the development of the second.

Pruning tea rose bushes

A rose bush needs to be pruned three times a year, the first in the spring, the second in the summer, and the third in the fall, which helps the plant prepare for winter. Of course, the most important pruning on which the appearance of the plant depends is spring, at this time the appearance of the bush should be formed and the side long shoots should be cut off along with the buds.

Description of the plant

This oriental beauty has extraordinary beauty, lush buds have a large number of delicate petals, flowers can be of different sizes depending on the type of plant. Today there is a wide variety of varieties of this plant species. All of them are cast by a powerful root system, wide oval almost waxy leaves and stems, which are densely protected by sharp thorns.

The bushes are very different in height and width: from dwarf species to almost giant shrubs, climbing up to 2 meters or more in height. You can find various shades of blooming rosebuds: from pale white, pink, cream and almost black tones, burgundy buds. Indoor flowers of this species also come in a variety of colors and sizes. They are planted in special flowerpots and often, with proper care, a tea rose at home can reach about 2 meters in height.

Home care

This plant loves good lighting and fresh air, but, of course, without drafts. It is best to place the pot on the southwest or southeast side of the house. Some flower lovers have entire greenhouses on their loggias. This is an ideal place for a rose, but if there is direct sunlight, it is better to arrange partial shade to avoid burns and drying out. From early spring and all summer, these flowers will feel great on the balcony, but with the arrival of autumn and winter, it is better to bring them indoors. During heating seasons, it is better to place both large flowerpots and small pots away from heating devices and batteries.

Taking care of this flower is not so easy, as it is capricious in its care. It is worth overdrying the soil or overcooling the plant, as it can immediately shed its leaves and stop growing. It is necessary to take care of a tea rose in different seasons in different ways.

Summer care

In the summer, the shrub requires regular watering and spraying with water. The water should be pre-set and not cold. Flowers are watered in the morning, sometimes they need irrigation with water up to twice a day. The air temperature must be at least 20 ° C. Several times a week, the plant should be inspected for dry leaves and weak shoots that should be removed. Experts recommend periodically unfurling the rose for uniform sunlight and full bush formation. It is imperative to feed the rose several times during the summer season.

With the onset of cold weather in the autumn season, the flowerpot with the plant is transferred to a room where the temperature should not fall below 17 ° C. The best place to place the flower will be a south window with good lighting. It is no longer necessary to apply fertilizer at the beginning of autumn: the plant enters a new mode of rest and rest. It is necessary to water it much less often and it is worth monitoring the condition of the soil in order to prevent podoprevanie, which can lead to disease of the root system.

Pruning during this period is mandatory: if it is not done, then the next year the rose may grow sluggishly and give meager flowering. It is necessary to cut off with a clean and sterile pruner or a sharp knife; at least five buds are left on each branch. During this period of rest for a tea rose, it is important to observe the temperature regime in the room, to ensure that the air is fresh and not dry, sometimes humidifiers are installed in the room.

Autumn and winter care is the same. But with the arrival of spring, it is worth taking care that the plant does not get stressed. To do this, they wait for late spring and take out the flowerpots with a rose to the loggia in a darkened place so that it gets used to the sunlight. In the future, it can be rearranged to a more illuminated area.

The leaves must be sprayed and the dirt removed with a soft cloth. It is better not to rush to apply fertilizer in early spring, it is worth waiting for the awakening of the flower.It is better if the fertilizers are complex and specially designed for this variety.

Reproduction and planting

These varieties are propagated by cuttings. In the month of September, when pruning will take place, it is worth removing the stem about 15-17 cm long with three four healthy buds and placing it in water at room temperature.

Florists often recommend adding iodine to the water to stimulate growth. As soon as small root-shaped processes appear on the cuttings, they can be planted in pots. For this, small containers are selected so that the root system is strengthened and could give strength for the growth of the stem. Some use special soil, but most are planted in pots of humus.

Diseases and pests

Like other flowers, the tea rose is susceptible to many diseases, but most of them arise from improper flower care. The most common diseases are dry foliage and staining. If there are such leaves, they should be cut off immediately, and the plant should be treated with a preparation containing copper. The best remedy in the fight against such diseases is Fundazol.

Diseases such as powdery mildew are well treated with fungicides. But with the appearance of deformation of the leaves or stems themselves, it is worth fighting radically: the affected elements are removed with sterile tools, and the cut site must be disinfected. It is advisable to change the soil in the pot to a new one, and treat the plant itself with copper sulfate.

If you have a tick or other small pests, you can use soapy water or garlic water, as well as special preparations.

One way or another, a rose is very fragile and whimsical, sometimes it is difficult to immediately find a suitable place for it in the house. Sometimes, experts recommend when buying in a store to immediately be interested in what kind of soil it has, what it was fertilized with and in what conditions it grew. This information will help to recreate the most approximate conditions for its adaptation in a new home. If all the conditions for care are met correctly, the tea rose will be able to delight its owners with its beauty and aroma.

And a little about secrets ...

The story of one of our readers Irina Volodina:

I was especially depressed by the eyes, surrounded by large wrinkles plus dark circles and swelling. How to remove wrinkles and bags under the eyes completely? How to deal with swelling and redness? But nothing ages or rejuvenates a person as much as his eyes.

But how to rejuvenate them? Plastic surgery? Recognized - not less than 5 thousand dollars. Hardware procedures - photorejuvenation, gas-liquid pilling, radiolifting, laser facelift? Slightly more affordable - the course costs 1.5-2 thousand dollars. And when to find all this time? And it's still expensive. Especially now. Therefore, for myself, I chose a different way ...

Features of planting hybrid tea varieties

Preparation of planting material

Seedlings must be prepared in early March. Before that, they are stored in a cool room, in damp sand or soil. This planting material is quietly waiting for disembarkation in open ground. The optimal time for planting is May-June, when the soil has already warmed up to + 12 ° С. The main thing is to have time to plant the plants before the onset of extreme heat. The roots of the seedling must be cut a little. Then the seedlings are placed in water for 2 hours, they should be thoroughly saturated with moisture.

Planting a hybrid tea rose

The hole should be so deep that the roots of the plant do not bend when placed in it. This is about 50-60 cm. Half the hole is filled with a mixture of sand, organic fertilizers and garden soil, all components are taken in equal amounts. It is necessary to water the dry soil with two liters of water.

The seedling is lowered into a hole, covered with soil. The graft site (noticeable thickening on the seedling) must be buried 2-3 cm into the ground. The soil around the plant is compacted, an embankment is built from the ground, so that during watering water went to the roots.At the end of planting, you need to spud the plant, so the lower buds can be protected from weather surprises.

Watering the plant

Hybrid tea roses prefer abundant, but rare watering. Abundant watering requires a young bush. In the first days after planting, it is watered after 2-3 days, not overfilling. The optimal amount is 3-5 buckets of water. Later, watering is done once a week, as the soil dries up. After the buds appear on the plant, frequent watering must be resumed.

During active blooming rose need good watering. If there is not enough moisture, the shoots will develop poorly, the flowers will lose their beauty, and they will become small. One watering of an adult plant will require 10 liters of water.

Water quality matters too. Roses do not like tap water due to the presence of salt impurities, they prefer thawed and rainwater. Watering is done carefully so as not to damage the roots. Care must be taken not to get the buds and leaves wet. Moisture on them contributes to the development of fungal diseases.

On hot days, you need to water the roses in the evening with warm water. In cooler weather, watering can be reduced to once every two weeks. In the fall, watering is excluded, it is allowed to water the roses if there is no precipitation at all.

Fertilizing roses

Timely feeding roses is a very important process in the cultivation of hybrid tea varieties of roses. Mineral feeding is good, it enhances flowering and growth. Organic fertilizers nourish the plant and improve the composition of the soil.

Rose in first year after planting does not need anything, provided that fertilizer is introduced into the pit during planting. Florists carry out top dressing on the leaves with potassium sulfate. This is necessary in order for the young plant to grow stronger and prepare for wintering.

In the spring, the first feeding is carried out after pruning the roses. Special mineral fertilizers are used. They are sold dry in all grocery stores. Fertilizers are scattered around the bush after abundant watering, stepping back about 11 cm from the center. Close up, then water well again. Organic fertilizers are applied in a week. Near each bush, you need to place about 5 liters of rotted mullein, which is loosened along with the earth and watered.

The next time, feeding is needed when the ovary of buds appears. Effectively making infusion from chicken droppings. The infusion is prepared in advance. For eight liters of water, 1 liter of manure is taken. The mixture is infused for 2 weeks, so you need to prepare it in advance. Fertilizer is diluted 1: 5, then watered.

Simultaneously with this top dressing, top dressing with a weak solution of nitrate or wood ash is necessary. Shop mineral fertilizers are applied before flowering. When the roses start to bloom, no fertilization is needed. In September, roses are fertilized for the last time, organic fertilizing is introduced. Mineral fertilizers do not need to be applied at all if the roses bloom for a long time and look healthy.

Loosening the soil

In order for roses to bloom actively and be healthy, you need to carefully look after behind them, get rid of the weeds. The soil is loosened to saturate the soil with oxygen. The soil must retain moisture well, this will contribute to the normal development of the root system. The procedure is carried out after feeding or watering once a month.

Diseases and pests: how to fight

Powdery mildew is the most common disease of hybrid tea varieties of roses. In order to prevent and prevent disease, it is necessary to treat the plants with baking soda. It is necessary to dilute 40 g of soda in a liter of water, spray the leaves with the resulting solution. Do this in the spring when foliage appears. Spraying is carried out twice a week in spring and until the end of June.

Roses are often affected by green aphids. A soap solution with the addition of several branches of wormwood will help to cope with it. A piece of laundry soap is rubbed into water (10 liters), boiled for 15 minutes, and infused. The solution is used to treat the stems and leaves of the plant.After a week, this procedure is repeated. If the infection is very active and does not go away, it is worth turning to special chemicals that are sold in specialized stores.

Pruning roses

Timely pruning hybrid tea roses is of great importance in proper care. It can be of several types, depending on the strength of the pruning and on the season of its carrying out:

Weak pruning. The frozen or damaged tip of the shoot is cut off. After pruning, the rose begins to bloom early, there will be more flowers, however, the flowers themselves will be smaller.
Strong pruning. It is necessary to cut off more than half of the shoot, leaving 3-4 buds. The flowers will be larger, but there will be fewer of them. Flowering usually starts later than usual.
Pruning in the summer. It is carried out after flowering. Faded flowers are removed with a small part of the shoot. Such pruning will guarantee abundant flowering in the future.
Spring pruning is considered the most important. When the buds reach about 0.6 cm in size, it's time to prune, leaving 3-4 buds.
Autumn pruning. When preparing a plant for winter, it is necessary to remove all damaged and unripe shoots. It is not recommended to cut the shoots too much, this can harm the plant during a harsh winter. The removed shoots are burned, since they may contain pest larvae.

Preparing hybrid tea roses for winter

Choosing the right time to prune and cover is an important step in preparing your tea rose for winter. If you cover the rose too early or dig in early, the plant's immunity will weaken, it may die immediately after the first frost.

The longest shoots need to be cut, leaving only 6 buds so that the rose can grow again next year. The remaining shoots are carefully examined. If watery areas are found, they must be removed. After that, the rose is covered, buried in the surrounding earth, covering part of the stems and roots. The soil acts as a heat insulator, preventing the plant from freezing.

Additionally, it is necessary to cover the bases of the bushes with branches of pine trees, spruce branches, dry leaves. Sprinkle on top with peat 25 cm high. In severe winters, it is necessary to make a special frame on which to fix the insulating material.

Growing tea rose, with proper planting and care in the garden, will bring a lot of positive emotions, will allow you to enjoy the touching beauty of these flowers.
