How to plant a park rose
When to plant
Autumn planting is preferable, so the bushes take root better and in spring they already begin to bloom. When planting in autumn, a park rose is immediately spud. It is also possible to plant in the spring, but the bushes planted in the spring will noticeably lag behind the autumn ones.
How to plant correctly
To prevent a park rose from freezing in winter, it must be slightly deepened when planting below ground level: the grafting site should be covered with a layer of earth of 8-12 cm.This measure will protect the grafting site from premature aging and peeling of the bark, and also stimulate the growth of young shoots. A properly planted rose will stay healthy for a long time without expelling wild rose hips.
When planting a hedge, leave a larger distance between the bushes, about 80-100 cm, and for bushes above a meter - 1.2-1.5 m.If you plant individual bushes in a flower bed, keep a distance of 1.5-3 m. varieties are planted according to the scheme 50x50 - 70x70 cm.
- The planting pit is made spacious, up to 60 cm in diameter, 40-50 cm in depth. Garden soil can be mixed in half with humus to lay the foundation for future lush blooms. It is also good to add a handful of wood ash to the ground when planting.
- A seedling with a closed root system is simply rolled over, filling up the earth.
- If the root system is open (rose out of the box), examine the roots well so that there are no rotten ones. Cut off all suspicious parts of the root. Plant with roots spread out so they don't bend. It is better to make a mound and spread the roots of the rose on it. Top up and level the ground, press lightly.
- Water abundantly, in a bucket of water under the bush.
- After watering, it is better to mulch the soil in order to retain moisture for longer and create a microclimate in the soil that favors the reproduction of beneficial microorganisms and earthworms.
In the future, it will be enough to keep the soil moist by watering the roses in the morning or in the evening abundantly at the root.
Pruning and covering park roses for the winter
A park rose is cut minimally, cutting out only old, damaged or frozen branches. After flowering, the faded buds are cut off. Pruning is completely stopped in August. In autumn, the branches are freed from the leaves, bent down, pinned with metal staples and covered. Especially powerful bushes are difficult to bend to the ground, then you will need to dig them up on one side until the root begins to bend and tilt the bush. The root collar must be piled up to a height of 20-30 cm. The rose is covered with spruce branches from above; non-woven material can be used. The main condition is that the shelter breathes, and the branches do not come out in wet, damp weather.
In the spring, when the snow melts, the structure is dismantled, straightening the bush before the start of sap flow. Old 4-5-year-old branches are cut at the root. It is advisable to process the cut points with garden pitch so that the rose does not get sick. Young branches are not cut. The remaining branches can be cut into two buds so that the shoots on them are more powerful. Make sure that when pruning, all the upper buds look outward of the bush, and not inward.
