Stock rose planting and care in the open field in the fall

Stock-rose - a beautiful flower that is familiar to many since childhood. Stock-rose is also called mallow. In recent years, many different varieties of this plant have been grown. The plant is very beautiful and has a lot of flowers. The height of the flower differs depending on the variety. The same can be said about the shape and color of the flowers themselves. The stock rose requires careful maintenance only in the first year after planting. Mallow can be an annual, biennial, and even a perennial plant. Moreover, most often summer residents grow two-year-old mallow.

How to grow a stock rose from seeds?

The most common method for growing stock roses is by seed. But it can also be different:

• Growing a plant through seedlings;
• Planting flower seeds immediately in open ground (possible both in autumn and spring).

Through seedlings Growing mallow through seedlings makes it possible to get flowers in the same season.

Most often, this flower is sown in open ground at the very end of spring, so it is no longer possible to wait for the stock-rose to bloom this season. In this regard, many gardeners grow mallow through seedlings.

How are mallow seedlings grown?

1. It is best to sow flower seeds for seedlings in early March or February.... In this case, the plant will bloom from mid-summer.
2. Despite the fact that the stock-rose is not a very capricious flower, but to the choice of soil should be approached responsibly... It is best to choose such a soil, consisting of:
   • 2 pieces of land from a garden plot or vegetable garden;
   • 1 part sand;
   • 1 part humus. Such a soil will be suitable for mallow seedlings: loose and will allow air to pass through.
3. For mallow seedlings, it is best to choose peat pots.... But a deep drawer or other container is also fine. It must be remembered that mallow does not like transplanting. Therefore, you should immediately sow the seeds in separate pots. This is due to the peculiarity of the stock-rose root. It is long and fibrous, so it is necessary to avoid intertwining them.

   After planting, the seeds must be thoroughly sprinkled with earth, and also moistened. It is advisable to cover the pots or drawer with some kind of film or even glass in order to slow down the evaporation of moisture.

4. Temperature, at which it is necessary to grow stock-rose seedlings, should be about 20 degrees.
5. As soon as the seeds begin to germinate, the film or glass must be removed, and the seedlings must be rearranged in the warmest and well-lit place in the house, for example, a windowsill. Lighting is of great importance for the cultivation of mallow. Since in poor light, the flowers will be pale, and the stems will be very elongated.
6. When caring for seedlings, it must be borne in mind that the main requirement for care is watering... Nothing else should be done. Seedlings do not need any additional processing or feeding.
7. After the seedlings grow up, they can be planted in open ground, or you can also continue growing them at home on the veranda or on the windowsill. If the pots are peat pots, then the plant can be planted in the ground directly in them.

Landing in open ground Planting seeds in open ground is the most acceptable option

The best option would be to use such a growing method as planting seeds directly into open ground. Since the stock-rose, as already noted, does not like transplants.

How to plant the seeds of this plant in the ground?

1. The best time to plant mallow is late May or early June.
2. When sowing, the seeds must be laid out in pits, which are located at a distance of 20 centimeters from each other. A greater distance can be made, since the plant is lush and very tall. Many gardeners prefer to sow several seeds at once in a hole, assuming that some of them will not germinate. Seeds should not be buried too deep, 3 centimeters is enough. In a couple of weeks, you will be able to observe the appearance of the first sprouts.
3. This year, the stock-rose will not have time to start blooming. In the first year, the root system of this plant, as well as the leaves, will actively develop.
4. The flowering of the plant can be observed next summer. It blooms for a long time, almost until mid-autumn.

In addition to planting mallow in spring, planting a flower in autumn is also practiced. In this case, the mallow will bloom in the summer of this season. However, the seedlings will require a lot of care.

When to plant?

As mentioned earlier, the time of planting seeds for seedlings is - late winter or early March, so that by the middle of summer it is already possible to observe the beautiful flowering of the plant. As soon as more or less warm sunny weather is established, the seedlings can be planted in open ground.

If you decide to plant seeds immediately in the garden plot, then this should be done in early summer or at the very end of May. Also, many growers plant seeds in the ground in the fall.

It is important to remember that the flower is afraid of even the smallest frost, so do not plant seeds and seedlings in cold weather or carefully care for the seedlings.

How to take care of it properly?

Mallow is not a capricious plant, it is not too difficult to care for it. But the basic rules of care still have to be followed. What are these rules?

1. Mallow loves the sun and loose soil

   First of all, you need to consider that the flower is very fond of the sun.... In addition, the plant absolutely does not like dry soil. But too much watering can harm the mallow, since the root of the flower can begin to rot from excessive moisture.

2. The most important and necessary condition for proper flower growth and beautiful flowering is loose soil, well fertilized and moderately moist, as well as well lit by sunlight.
3. The soil on which mallow grows must contain a sufficient high content of nitrogen.... Then the stem of the plant will be strong with a large number of inflorescences, on which there will be many flowers of incredible beauty. The number of flowers per inflorescence can be even more than 100.
4. After the flowers have faded, it will be desirable to remove them so that the stem-rose does not deplete. Dried flowers must be cut in the fall, when the flowering has already faded.
5. If the soil is not too fertile, then it is advisable to fertilize it. during the period of flower growth, as well as at the time of flowering. In addition, it is recommended that the stems be tied up so that the stems of the plant do not break under the influence of the wind. Or easier - to plant mallow near the fence.
6. Since the plant is afraid of frost, with the onset of the autumn season it is advisable to cover it with branches of coniferous trees or leaves that have fallen from trees. So the flower will endure any frost.

Diseases. And how to deal with them?

Stock-rose can sometimes be subject to certain diseases:

To prevent a plant disease such as rust - the coating of leaves with brown spots, it is necessary to treat the plant seeds with a solution of colloidal sulfur. You can also spray the leaves with this solution.

Also, in order to get rid of rust, as well as as a prophylaxis of the disease, you can spray the entire flower entirely with fungicides.

Growing stock-rose (mallow) from seeds

The stock rose is considered a perennial plant, but it so happened traditionally that the plant is planted as a biennial plant. Rose stock seeds can be sown directly outdoors at the end of May.

The stem-rose is a spreading flower, so the seeds are planted at a distance of 20-30 cm from each other. But the germination of seeds is 70%, and you can sow thicker, and then pull out the seedlings, thus thinning the planting.

Do not deepen the seeds too much into the ground: a hole 3-4 cm deep is enough. Within 2 weeks, the stem of the rose will already delight you with the first shoots, but in the first year, under the condition of direct sowing into the ground, the plant will not bloom.

As a rule, flowering appears at the 2nd year of the plant's life, approximately the first flowers will delight you at the end of June, and in the fall, after flowering, you will receive a supply of rose stem seeds, which will appear in place of flowers. There are a lot of seeds, and they are harvested after the boxes turn yellow, after which they are dried at home.

If you plant several types of rose stems next to each other, for example, of different colors, you can get the original color of the flowers. The fact is that the stock rose is a cross-pollinated plant, and the close planting of different species leads to a combination of shades and shapes.

Growing stock-rose (mallow) from seedlings in spring

Growing a rose stem from seedlings requires attention, because the root of the growing sprouts looks like a rod, it is quite easy to damage it during transplantation.

Therefore, prepare separate containers for harvesting rose seedlings, for example, peat cups. Planting is carried out at the end of February to mid-March, if you plant seeds in April, then the stem of the rose will not bloom.

The container is filled with a nutrient substrate, slightly moistened before that, after which seeds are spread on the surface of the soil. After laying, the seeds are lightly sprinkled with earth, cover the peat pots with foil, and sent to a room with a temperature of at least + 18 ° C.

After 15 days, the first shoots will appear, which can be thinned out if you organized a group planting in a box. The optimal distance between young shoots is 3-4 cm. Further, the care of seedlings is reduced to daily 30 minutes of airing and watering as the soil dries out. Planting a stock of a rose grown in this way is recommended in mid-May, when a stable temperature is established.

Planting stock-rose (mallow) in the fall

Some gardeners practice the autumn planting of rose stock seeds, planting them in open ground and leaving them to "grow" under the snow until next spring. The method is good for everyone: the stock rose blooms in the summer, planting is simple, but after winter the seedlings will appear very early.

A young stem rose will need careful care: protection from night frosts by covering with a jar, preventing decay during the spring thaw.

Choosing a place for planting stock roses (mallow)

A landing site is a site well warmed by the sun or partial shade. Avoid places with strong drafts, because strong gusts of wind will break even the stems tied to the support.

Soil for stock rose does not matter much, but it is better to plant the flower in a well-fertilized light soil with an admixture of sand. The soil is heavy, with an admixture of clay for a rose stock is categorically not suitable. The nitrogen content in the soil has a beneficial effect on the growth and development of the plant, which provides a dense stem and elastic inflorescences.

Rose stock (mallow) care

Rose stem maintenance includes moderate watering, choosing the right planting site, feeding, and building supports that will support the long stem of the plant. It is also worth removing faded inflorescences that deplete the plant.

Watering the stock-rose (mallow)

Watering in the first year of growth, the stem of the rose should be abundant, but without stagnation of water at the root system. When watering, try not to get water on the leaves: for this purpose, it is recommended to get a watering can with a long spout.

Top dressing of stock-rose (mallow)

During the season, the rose is fed 2-3 times, and if the soil is infertile, then this amount increases up to 4 times. As a top dressing, universal complexes for malvaceous plants are introduced, and the earth is also mulched with compost.

You can do without feeding, but then the flowering is sluggish, and the color itself is very pale.

Preparing stock-rose (mallow) for winter

Wintering a rose stock in the southern regions is painless, and in the northern regions, the plant should be covered with dry branches or agrofibre. It is worth covering the stem of the rose in any region if the winter is snowless, but severe in terms of frosts.

Stock-rose (mallow) - diseases and pests

Most often the plant is affected rust, manifested by red spots over the entire surface of the leaf. The affected foliage is carefully removed, and the entire plantation of the rose stock is treated with fungicides.

To avoid rust in the future, before planting, the seeds of the rose stem are treated with a solution of colloidal sulfur, you can also use any other antifungal drug.

Tying a stock-rose (mallow)

Tying is a necessary measure to ensure stable growth and safety of the rose stem. A 2 meter plant does not withstand gusts of wind, breaking in half.

If the plant is planted in the central part of the site, wooden sticks or decorative supports made of plastic are used as support.

The direct garter of the bush is made using a braid or rope made of soft natural fibers.

A decorative and more aesthetic version of the garter is the initial planting of the rose stem from the sunlit side of the fence, fence, house, veranda. Plants receive support, and a fence or house is beautifully decorated with tall and vibrant flowers.

In floriculture, as in any other type of human activity, there is a fashion that determines how relevant a particular flower is. For a long time, the stock-rose was considered, together with geraniums, nasturtium and calendula, "grandmother's" flowers, suitable only for decorating village front gardens. However, through the efforts of breeders, such a nostalgic and somewhat simple mallow, it is under this name that we know this plant, not only returns to the gardens, but is also ready to again become the "soloist" of flower beds and decorative compositions. Every day it becomes more and more popular not only among landscape designers and gardeners, but also among ordinary gardeners, stock-rose. Planting and caring for this plant does not present any particular difficulties, and even a novice amateur florist can cope with its cultivation using the information from this article.

So what is her name?

There are many names for the stock-rose: mallow, mallow, kalachik, marshmallow. It is believed that this plant was brought to us from Mediterranean countries or Egypt. The flower of this plant reminded someone of an Orthodox mallet, for which it was called mallow.Today, as a result of selection work carried out by researchers in different countries, many new double and semi-double varieties of various colors have been created.

Flower features

Stock-rose ordinary, or pink, is a herbaceous plant of the Malvaceae family (Malvaceae). This is one of the tallest garden plants, the erect stem of which can grow up to 250 cm. The large leaves of this flower are fleecy, palmate-lobed. Mallow belongs to biennials, that is, this plant forms a rosette of leaves in the first year after planting, and only in the second year of life it blooms and blooms most intensively. The stem-rose flowers are large bells, the diameter of which can reach 12 cm, of the most varied colors, collected on the central stem in an elongated inflorescence.

In each subsequent year, flowering weakens, and the size of the plant itself and flowers decreases. All this gives us the opportunity to say that mallow is a perennial stock-rose.

How to grow a rose stock?

Growing this plant is quite simple and, as a rule, even the most inexperienced gardeners can cope with this business. Mallow is unpretentious and not too capricious. Planting a stock-rose is possible both in open ground, without further transplanting, and by seedling. Gardeners have noticed that plants grown directly in the soil are stronger and more resistant to various adverse environmental influences and diseases.

Where to plant?

When choosing a place for planting a stock-rose, it should be remembered that this plant is sun-loving, and abundant flowering is possible only in well-lit areas of the garden. This flower easily tolerates a slight drought, but excessive waterlogging and stagnant water may not survive.

This plant prefers loose, fertile and fertilized soils. Too heavy, as well as depleted soils with a small water content, will lead to the death of the flower.

When thinking about the place where it is better to place the stem-rose, you should avoid windy places, as gusts can break tall stems.

Stock-rose: growing from seed

Due to the fact that this plant has a taproot system, the flower does not tolerate transplantation well. Because of this, it is best to sow mallow in small peat pots, in which the seedlings can be planted in a permanent place with an undisturbed earthen clod. The volume of the planting container should be approximately the size of a faceted glass. The seeds are not pre-soaked, but immediately planted in the soil to a depth of 1 cm. Mallow seedlings appear in 10-15 days under favorable conditions.

For growing stock roses as an annual crop, seeds are planted in January-March. After the appearance of the first leaves, the plants are dived and transplanted into separate containers. The resulting seedlings are planted in a permanent place after return frosts around the beginning of June.

We grow in a greenhouse

One of the ways in which a stock rose can appear in your garden is by growing from seeds planted in a greenhouse or mini greenhouse. From May to June, seeds are sown to a depth of 3-4 cm, and after the first shoots appear, they are thinned so that the distance between them is from 20 to 25 cm.Grown plants can be transplanted to a permanent place in open ground at the end of summer or early autumn. The seedlings will bloom next year, in July.

We plant in open ground

If the decision is made to grow the stock-rose in the open field, then the sowing of seeds is carried out at the end of June, sprinkling with earth and maintaining a distance of half a meter between them. Adult mallow does not need shelter for the winter, but it is better to cover seedlings transplanted from a greenhouse with spruce branches or autumn foliage.

How to care?

In the event that a rose stock is planted in an open windy area, it is better to immediately foresee and install stakes to which high peduncles will be tied, thereby reducing the risk of their breakage. If the soil is fertile, then you should not carry out any special dressing.In the event that the soil is poor, then you can feed the stock-rose two weeks after transplanting (with complex mineral fertilizer), and then mulch the surface around the plant. Experts recommend the annual introduction of humus or compost into the soil, at the rate of 3 kg per square meter.

Diseases and the fight against them

Most often, the stem-rose is affected by a fungal disease - rust. The first signs of this disease are whitish or brown spots on the outer surface of the leaf and rusty brown spots on the inside. The affected parts should be removed immediately and incinerated. If you do not notice the first signs, then in the future the fungus will infect the entire plant, on the stem and leaves of which new rusty spots will appear. If the disease is started, the stem-rose may die.

In order to prevent this disease, in the spring, plants should be treated with a 1-2% solution of Bordeaux mixture, repeating the treatment at the moment the buds appear. After the stem-rose has faded, you need to cut the stems at ground level and burn them so that the disease does not spread.

Over the next 2-3 years, in the place where the diseased plant grew, it is impossible to plant flowers of the Malvovye family.
