How to prepare the soil for planting a rose outdoors in spring?

Roses are the real “queens” of the garden, perhaps that is why they are quite capricious both in the process of planting and in further care. And in order for the planting of roses in the spring in the ground to take place without excesses, it is imperative to know the rules for preparing the soil and further care for young seedlings.

1 Preparing the soil for planting plants

The development and growth of rose bushes, including climbing ones, is greatly influenced by the thermal regime of the air and soil. For normal growth, flowers need a temperature of +15 ° C, clean air without wind, because of which the flowers will simply get sick. Competently approach the choice of landing site, because these "queens" do not tolerate low-lying and wet places. In addition, it is better for them to choose partial shade, and not a place on the site, where from morning to evening the roses will be under the open rays of the sun. Otherwise, they may simply burn out or get sick, and it is very difficult to cure roses.

Advice: transplanting and planting roses in the spring should not take place in the "space saving" mode, because the dense cohesion of the bushes increases the risk of diseases, and caring for flowers will become more difficult.

By the way, many are worried about whether it is possible to transplant roses in spring, because gardeners say that these works are preferable to carry out after summer. But it is not so. Spring is an excellent time for planting plants in the middle zone of the country, where a rather cool climate prevails, but in areas with a temperate climate, such work is also possible. The main thing is proper further care.

2 How to plant roses in spring?

Subject to the recommendations of experts, planting and transplanting climbing roses in the spring will be correct: the buds will begin to tie this season, and at the end of summer you can collect a lush bouquet of beautiful flowers. If the work is carried out on fertile soil, then you can immediately start planting. Using a shovel, we dig a hole 20-30 cm deep, focusing on the size of the plant's root system.

The main thing is that the trench is deeper than the root system, but the diameter should be up to 50 cm.If the soil on your site is not fertile, you should definitely "feed" it using organic and nitrogen-containing fertilizers... Unfortunately, many owners of summer cottages are unlucky with clay soil, on which plants develop much weaker. In this case, the depth of the pit needs to be done even more - up to 60 cm.

3 Roses: planting in the ground and leaving in the spring

After you have purchased seedlings, they should be carefully examined. Be sure to remove weak branches and damaged roots, cutting them to a length of up to 30 cm. When carrying out spring work, shorten the shoots, which depends on the type of plant. For example, in "tea" roses, up to three buds are left on the shoots, in the floribunda variety - about four "eyes". Wanting to achieve early blooming in tall varieties, we shorten their shoots by about 15 cm.

But ground cover roses do not require pruning - you just need to update the root cuts and remove the weak tops of the shoots. Before planting seedlings, you need to put them in a bucket of water or any growth stimulant for two hours. If they are very dry, they are soaked in a bucket for 12-15 hours. In addition, before planting, they should be placed in a cool and dark place, moisturizing the root system every 8-10 hours.

Disembarkation instructions:

  • We fill the prepared hole with a mixture of earth and manure, sprinkling the layer with soil - the roots of the plants should not come into contact with fertilizers;
  • We plant the seedling so that the graft is compacted below the ground level by about 7 cm. The soil around the bush must be covered with earth, tamped and watered well. This is necessary in order to remove air around the root system;
  • Next, we cover the bush with moist earth until a slide forms, which can be removed a few weeks after the seedling has taken root normally.

4 Reproduction of roses in spring by cuttings

In the second year after planting, you can try to make your garden even larger without purchasing seedlings. What for? After all, you will have cuttings of already growing bushes that you just need to prepare. For work, it is best to take semi-lignified cuttings, which take root and prepare for winter much faster. They are cut from the middle part of healthy shoots of bushes during their budding period, which means that you will have to take care of the preparation of cuttings in the fall.

how to prepare the soil for planting roses in open ground in spring

You need to cut the cuttings with a hacksaw or garden scissors, the tool during operation must be clean and sharpened. In this case, the length of the cuttings should be about 15-20 cm with several buds and leaves. If you decide to cut roses in the spring, be sure to use Zircon or any other growth stimulant before planting, which will allow the small seedling to take root faster. To root the cuttings, we make small ridges, prepare a nutrient mixture from earth and humus, fill it in trenches, and on top we must make a layer of sand and peat. In order to get rid of possible infections in the ground, we can water the flower garden with potassium permanganate.

Planting roses in the spring in the ground takes place at the level of 2 lower "eyes" (depth about 1.5 cm), while the distance between the bushes should be at least 5 cm. Next, we prepare a mini-greenhouse: we install metal arcs for the frame, on top of which the film is stretched ... Before closing the whole bed with roses for her, the earth is watered abundantly. That's it - the job is done. It remains only a few times a day to spray the cuttings with a sprayer, and after three to four weeks they will start to grow. The main thing is that the flowerbed is in the shade, because the sun will burn young plants.

Now, having familiarized yourself with how to properly plant climbing roses in spring, and how to cut bushes for quick planting, it remains only to choose a variety and start work.

The rose is known to everyone as an extremely capricious garden "inhabitant". But the beauty of this plant is so mesmerizing that every season thousands of summer residents think about how to plant a rose. We will tell you about all the intricacies of this process.

Specialists of ALC "Agrarian Industrial House" recommend planting roses in spring only after the soil temperature reaches 10-12 ° C. In the middle lane, this time usually falls in mid-April - late May. It is advisable to choose seedlings with not yet blossoming buds or with very short shoots. As for the planting site, for most types of roses, the most optimal are sunny places on the southeastern and southern sides of the site.

How to prepare rose seedlings for planting

So, the seedlings of the varieties you have chosen have been bought, a place for roses has been chosen, what next? Take the following important steps before boarding.

Unpack the seedling. Remove the protective material carefully, being careful not to damage the plant.Planting a seedling together with a packing net is only possible if specified by the manufacturer (biodegradable packing material).

Spread out the roots and examine them carefully. If you find signs of disease, treat the seedling with any biofungicide. Cut off damaged, dry roots; in healthy ones, update sections by cutting them 1-2 cm so that a healthy white core is visible. Subsequently, this will allow the plant to better absorb nutrients. Shorten too long roots to 30-35 cm.

Trim the shoots if necessary. Planting roses in spring in open ground also involves pruning the shoots of the seedling. If the branches are tied, release them by gently removing the elastic. Examine the shoots, remove the broken ones and the thinnest ones. Cut very long branches to a height of 30-35 cm. Leave only the strongest branches on the bush and cut them to 2-7 buds, depending on the species (see below).

Cut the shoot at an angle of 45 degrees above the outer bud (it is directed away from the center of the seedling), stepping back from it 0.5 cm.If the seedlings have been warm for too long and they have sprouted light, weak and thin shoots, remove them.

If the stems are covered with paraffin (it is used to retain moisture), before planting, clean the shoots with a wooden toothpick so that the plant can "breathe more freely". Draw a longitudinal line - the wax will begin to "lag" from the bark of the seedling. Gently pick up the wax layer with a toothpick, lifting it up.

Some sources advise removing the wax from the seedling with a piece of soft cloth. In practice, this is quite difficult to do, so we recommend using a toothpick.

Opinions differ as to whether it is necessary to remove wax from seedlings or not. Some say that this is an extra hassle and the wax will crack itself when the shoots begin to grow. Others argue that the wax inhibits bud germination and, in addition, melts in the sun and burns germinating buds. How to proceed is up to you. However, if you live in the southern region or spring this year has turned out to be warm and sunny, we recommend that you clean the shoots before planting.

Soak the roots of the seedlings. To compensate for the lack of moisture, immerse the roots of the seedlings (up to the root collar) for 2-3 hours in water or in a solution of any growth stimulant (prepare the drug in accordance with the instructions).

Then, for disinfection, immerse the roots of the seedlings for 20 minutes in a solution of copper sulfate or Fundazol (1 tablespoon per 10 liters of water).

Planting roses in spring: general rules

The place for planting roses should be chosen on the basis that this whimsical plant needs good lighting and protection from the wind. Therefore, it is not recommended to plant a rose under a tree, near a wall or in a lowland, since such conditions contribute to the development of diseases and decay of bushes.

If roses previously grew on the site chosen for planting, then the soil layer must be replaced with a new one (to a depth of ≈50 cm).

The level of acidity of the soil is also important - roses prefer slightly acidic soil (pH 5.5-6.5). If the land on your site does not meet these indicators, the pH level can be adjusted.

Pits for planting rose seedlings are made 40-60 cm wide. If the soil is loamy, the depth of the pit is calculated as follows: add 15 cm to the length of the roots. On heavy clay soil, the pit is made deeper (60-70 cm). At the bottom of the pit, pour compost or humus mixed with 1-2 tbsp. ash, and on top - a mound from the upper fertile soil layer.

Dip the roots of the prepared seedlings in a mixture of clay talker with fertilizer (dissolve 3 tablets of phosphorbacterin in 500 ml of water and add 9.5 liters of talker), then place the seedling on a mound, straightening the roots.

Then fill the hole with the seedling with earth, deepening the grafting site by 3-8 cm.To protect the root collar from temperature changes, carefully compact the soil around the plant.

To stimulate growth, a Heteroauxin tablet can be placed in the planting pit (to a depth of 5-10 cm), and several Glyocladin tablets can be used to protect the roots from rot.

Water the planted rose abundantly. You can use the same solution that remained after soaking the seedling. Try not to get on the shoots, otherwise the plant risks getting sunburn. If, after abundant watering, the vaccination site is exposed, cover it with earth. The final stage is mulching the planting with compost, humus or dry soil. Then the planted rose should be shaded for 10-12 days.

Growing roses on a garden plot requires patience and certain skills from the gardener. Only by observing all the rules of agricultural technology will it be possible to grow a powerful and abundantly flowering ornamental shrub, which will become a real decoration of a summer cottage or garden.

   

If you decide to plant roses on the site, then you must know exactly when and how to plant them correctly. In addition, it is necessary to purchase high-quality seedlings, preferably a zoned variety and choose a place in the garden suitable for roses. It is also important to know what kind of care to take after planting so that they take root faster.

   

In central Russia, roses can be planted both in spring and autumn. In the Urals and Siberia, it is recommended to plant rose bushes only in spring. Spring planting of roses is good because you can observe the growth and development of the rose, correcting any unacceptable deviations in its development. Also, when planting in the spring, you can not be afraid that the bushes will freeze from unexpectedly coming autumn frosts.

The timing of planting a seedling in spring depends on the region of planting, plant variety and type of seedling preparation.

Own-rooted roses in the Urals should be planted from the greenhouse in the last decade of May, after having previously hardened the planting material for a week. Container or potted roses can be planted from late May to mid-August.

Rose seedlings need to be planted when the frost period is finally over. In the northern part of Russia, frosts can continue until mid-June. Previously, you do not need to plant bushes in open ground. You can, of course, plant a bush in a greenhouse and take care of it in the right way.

Before planting a rose, you should know the weather for a couple of weeks in advance. If frosts are no longer expected, then the seedling can be planted in the ground. In the event of a sudden cold snap, the plant should be covered with spruce branches or non-woven covering material.

For planting roses, the best day is cloudy, and the best time of day is evening. Planting roses in the spring in the ground should be done at moderate air temperatures. The most important thing here is that direct sunlight does not burn the young seedling. If the weather is hot outside, then the flower can be covered with spruce branches until it completely takes root in a new place.

If you want beautiful rose bushes to decorate your garden for many years, then you should know how to make the right choice when buying pink seedlings. An incorrectly selected variety that does not suit our climate and type of soil may soon die. At the same time, if you choose the most suitable flower according to certain criteria, then it will be able to bloom beautifully for many years.

For the correct choice of rose seedlings, follow the tips below:

  • At the initial stage, you need to choose a specific variety and ask the seller about the growing conditions for this flower. You must know all the characteristics of the selected plant (beginning and duration of flowering, growth, repetition of flowering, bushiness, etc.).
  • Seedlings can be sold both with grafted bushes, and with their own. If the bush is grafted, then you must find out which variety it is grafted into. Don't forget to inquire about the age of the plant.
  • Rose seedlings It is best to buy seedlings that are no more than 2-3 years old. Such plants, if properly grafted, take root very easily in new soil and easily endure winter frosts.
  • Rose bushes on their own roots develop a little weaker. They can also die during the first frosts (if the flower does not have time to properly grow the root system). But if you bought a rose on your own roots, then you should not panic, such a flower can be safely grown with proper care, moreover, it has a number of advantages. Such a plant is good because it does not have unnecessary branching, and with full survival in the soil, it acquires a strong root system.
  • When buying seedlings with bare roots, you need to pay attention to the age and quality of the stems (some of them must be woody). The rest of the stems should be green and fresh.If they are wrinkled, this may indicate any diseases of the flower ..
  • The quality of the seedlings is also manifested in their external features: they should not be spotted; stems, leaves and roots must be well developed; the buds should not be in a state of transition to the active phase of growth.
  • The bare roots of the seedling must be disinfected (dilute 30 g of copper sulfate in a bucket of water and lower the roots of the flower there for several hours).

How to preserve seedlings before planting

 

Quite often, before planting rose seedlings in the spring, they need to be preserved for some time. This happens in cases where the optimal weather for planting has not yet been established on the street. The seedlings can be stored in the refrigerator, on the balcony, or in the snow.

If the roses are at rest (the period when shoots have not yet begun to grow in the flower), then it can be placed in the refrigerator door. A bag with holes or kraft paper is put on top of the flower. Once every six to seven days, the seedling must be sprayed with water. At a temperature in the refrigerator + 1 ... + 3 ºС, the seedling can be stored for 1.5-2 months.

If the roses already have sprouts, then they are planted in pots. The best containers will be two-liter long containers. In this state, rose bushes can be kept on the balcony for a long time. The temperature should not be lower than 0 degrees, and if it still drops, then it is better to take the flowers into the house. Also, make sure that the seedlings are in the shade. In such conditions, the flowers are seriously added in size. Before planting in open soil, they need to be hardened. At the beginning of April, you can open the windows on the balcony, and in the future, take out the pots with plants under the open sky. But this method of preserving seedlings has a drawback: spider mites can infect flowers. To prevent this from happening, the plant must be sprayed with water daily. Before planting in the ground, it is advisable to treat with an anti-tick agent.

Rose seedlings can be kept in the snow. If the flower has sprouted, then the longest shoots must be broken off. To keep the plant in the snow, place it in a cardboard box and sprinkle it with peat, placing it in the part of the yard where the snow will last the longest. Top the box is covered with lutrasil and sprinkled with snow. The melting of snow can be delayed by placing pine or spruce branches on top of the snowdrift. If you keep the seedlings in snowdrifts, then they will not be afraid of frost. In the box under the snow, the temperature will always be around 0 ° C. True, the snow will melt earlier than at the beginning of May, which means that the seedlings will also have to be planted earlier. But there is nothing wrong with that.

 

how to prepare the soil for planting roses in open ground in spring

   

To plant roses correctly, you should take into account the basic agricultural rules.

 

Choosing a place for planting roses

 

The first important step is choosing the location of the rose garden on the territory of the personal plot. The best place that is suitable for a favorable rooting of a rose in the open field is a flat area, hidden from the wind. As for the type of soil, we must pay tribute to the unpretentiousness of this miracle, however, loamy soil, when peat, compost, humus are added to it, is best suited.

It is recommended to add sand to loamy soils. It is better to introduce other mineral compositions only if there is a lack of them in the ground prepared for breaking the rose garden. To do this, you need to do a soil analysis. How do you know for yourself that the soil is too acidic and needs to be calcified? It is necessary to mix the land from the site where the planting of bushes is planned with ordinary water and put a litmus paper in the mixture.

If the soil is too acidic, the piece of paper will turn red. If the earth is alkaline, the litmus test will turn blue. Alkaline soil also does not always have a good effect on the development of roses, since a disease such as leaf chlorosis (lack of iron, leading to yellowing) develops in them.

But organic matter as fortification can be added right before planting when digging a flower bed, to a depth of 0.5–0.7 m.You should not be afraid of excess organic fertilizers. Moreover, with abundant watering, they quickly go deep into the soil, and the roots of young seedlings also rush there.

 

Planting pit preparation

 

The hole must be dug in such a size that the roots of the plant feel spacious. If the soil is fertile, then the optimal pit dimensions are 0.5 × 0.5 meters. If the soil is clay, then the depth of the pit can be increased to 0.6-0.7 meters, and the width can be left the same.

Important! To protect the seedlings from the bright spring sun, a non-woven material is used to cover the flower.

Prepare a nutrient mixture before planting. It can consist of humus, rotted manure and compost. Another, even more effective composition consists of two parts of garden soil, two parts of organic matter and part of coarse sand with the addition of bone meal and wood ash.

The nutrient composition should not come into contact with the roots, therefore, it must be poured into the hole and sprinkled with a thin layer of soil. Gently pour 1.5 liters of water on top and wait until it is absorbed.

   

Rules for planting roses in spring

 

If a rose has a closed root system, then there is no need to free the root from the ground. If the root is free, then it is shortened by 1/3 of the length, and soaked in a root growth stimulator for 1.5-2 hours. Also, the root can be processed in a clay "chatterbox" diluted from clay, manure and water in a ratio of 3: 3: 10 with the addition of a small amount of "Kornevin" or another root formation stimulator.

Before planting, you need to cut the shoots according to the following rules: LIST In hybrid tea and polyanthus roses, shoots are cut so that 2-3 buds remain on each of them; In floribunda roses, 3-4 buds should be left; In park roses, shoots are shortened by 10-15 cm; For a groundcover rose, you need to renew the roots (only cut the root cuts).

After pruning the shoots, the seedling is ready for planting. The flower should be planted so that the grafting site is 5-7 cm underground. It is necessary to remove the wax from the burial site, if any. After the seedling is covered with soil, it should be tamped and watered again. This is done to remove excess air bubbles from the ground. This is how the best root-soil contact is established. Next, you need to spud the seedling 10-15 cm in height. The slide can be removed in two to three weeks, when the seedling is completely taken root.

 

how to prepare the soil for planting roses in open ground in spring

   

Despite the fact that caring for roses may differ depending on the varietal and species characteristics of the ornamental crop, there are some general rules for growing:

  • At the stage of bud formation, it is required to feed the plants with a solution based on calcium nitrate, prepared at the rate of 1 tablespoon of the drug per bucket of water.
  • In the phase of active growth and development, an ornamental culture needs feeding with herbal infusions or a solution based on mineral fertilizers, which must be applied every two weeks.
  • Starting from the second half of summer, it is undesirable to feed rose bushes, since the plant may not have time to prepare for the winter period and will die during severe frosts.
  • It should be remembered that abundant feeding often causes increased growth of green mass and sparse flowering, therefore it is recommended to systematically spray the aerial part of rose bushes with solutions based on "Zircon", "Epin", "Ecosil" or sodium humate.
  • Rose bushes should be watered about once a week, but during periods that are too hot, the frequency of irrigation can be increased.
  • Watering is carried out in the evening, after sunset, with settled water heated in the sun, with a consumption of about 10 liters for each adult plant.
  • In order to reduce irrigation measures and save water, it is allowed to mulch the soil around the rose bushes with organic matter.
  • After watering or rains, shallow loosening of the soil is mandatory, which does not allow the formation of a soil crust and improves air flow to the root system of plants.
  • In order to protect against damage by powdery mildew, it is recommended to carry out preventive spraying of the aboveground part of rose bushes with a solution of baking soda diluted at the rate of 40 g per liter of warm water twice a month.
  • Prevention of the defeat of a rose by aphid colonies consists in processing the bushes with tomato-garlic or onion infusions with the addition of soap crumbs.

To obtain abundant and prolonged flowering, it is required to carry out competent pruning of bushes at different stages of the growing season, as well as timely remove all faded inflorescences and shoots growing inside the plants. For the winter period, in most regions of our country, roses need to be covered with spruce branches and non-woven garden material.

how to prepare the soil for planting roses in open ground in springThe Scientific and Production Association "Sady Rossii" has been introducing the latest achievements in the selection of vegetable, fruit, berry and ornamental crops into the wide practice of amateur gardening for 30 years. In the work of the association, the most modern technologies are used, a unique laboratory for microclonal reproduction of plants has been created. The main tasks of NPO Sady Rossii is to provide gardeners with high-quality planting material for popular varieties of various garden plants and novelties of world selection. Delivery of planting material (seeds, onions, seedlings) is carried out by Russian post. We are waiting for you for shopping: NGO "Gardens of Russia"

Roses will become a worthy decoration of a garden flower bed. But in order to achieve good growth and flowering from them, it is necessary to plant the purchased bushes in the ground according to all the rules. How to properly plant a rose in the ground in spring will be described below.

Preparation of seedlings and soil

Planting roses in spring is carried out only after the soil has warmed up well. It is necessary to wait for the time when the weather is warm outside. It is not recommended to plant bushes or seedlings in May, as drought is possible at this time. If you choose a later date, then the risk of slow adaptation of plants and poor flowering during the first year increases. Therefore, the planting of roses in the ground in the spring is carried out quite early. However, some gardeners carry out this operation in the spring.

What is better - to plant flowers in spring or autumn - each grower decides for himself, since a certain period has its own pros and cons. There are many factors to consider when deciding when to plant roses (e.g. weather conditions, variety, etc.).

It is worth noting that it is necessary to plant roses in open ground only after preliminary preparation of the purchased seedlings. Their preparation is carried out as follows:

  • the plant is released from packaging. When removing it, you need to act very carefully so as not to damage the seedling. Planting together with packaging is carried out only if it is provided by the manufacturer himself (for example, seedlings with a closed root system);
  • then the roots of the plant are straightened and carefully examined. Only a good seedling with developed roots can quickly take root in a permanent place of growth;
  • it is desirable to treat the roots with biofungicide. If dry roots or rotten areas are found, they must be cut off. Pruning is done 1–2 cm to healthy tissue. Too long roots are also shortened;
  • then the shoot should be cut at an angle of 45 degrees. Pruning is performed over the outer bud with an indentation of 0.5 cm from it. If the stem of the plant is covered with paraffin, then it is cleaned with a wooden toothpick. Although some gardeners note that the wax can be left;
  • then soak the roots of the plant to make up for the lack of moisture. The seedling is lowered into water to the level of the root collar for 2-3 hours. Also, a growth stimulant can be dissolved in water.You should buy such drugs only in a specialized store, and use only according to the instructions.

When planting roses in open ground in spring, you should first prepare the soil. In the selected place on the flower bed, a hole is formed, at the bottom of which fertilizers are placed. Only after the soil and bush have been prepared, we plant the purchased roses in spring or autumn.

General landing rules

It is necessary to understand that it is necessary to plant roses in open ground according to a certain method. Therefore, many novice flower growers often wonder how to plant a rose. The first thing to look for when determining how to plant roses is the type of plant. After all, each variety has its own requirements. However, there are general rules for all varieties, which must be adhered to if you want to care for roses after planting as easy as possible.

The general rules for planting these flowers boil down to the following points:

  • the right choice of location. The flower bed should be well lit, and also have protection from the wind;
  • soil parameters must meet the requirements of the purchased variety. Soil parameters can be changed using applied fertilizers;
  • determine when is the best time to plant roses;
  • the pit should have a width of 40-60 cm. Although in some situations it is allowed to increase this parameter by 15 cm;
  • before planting a seedling, it is recommended to dip its roots in a clay chatterbox;
  • after planting a plant, the earth around it is compacted;
  • the purchased rose must be watered well after planting.

how to prepare the soil for planting roses in open ground in spring

Based on these rules, you should plant roses in spring and autumn. It is important to know how to care for your roses. The quality of flowering directly depends on the correct care.

Hilling a flower

Regardless of the season (spring or autumn planting) and the type of plant, all planted bushes should be spud. This procedure allows you to increase the plant's entrenchment by stimulating the formation of additional roots. In autumn planting, hilling will enable the root system to tolerate the cold well.
