Best care tips
Groundcover roses are less demanding than other varieties. This gives a good chance to grow luxurious flowers, even for gardening beginners. At the same time, it is possible to achieve long flowering and active growth of bushes only if all the "whims" of the garden beauty are fulfilled. To do this, you need to know what conditions are necessary for this plant, as well as the useful nuances of successful cultivation.
Success secrets for ground cover roses:
Top dressing should be carried out only the next year after planting. The frequency of mineral addition is determined individually. In general, it is necessary to use 5-7 dressings per season. Groundcover roses are also very susceptible to foliar dressing, which can be alternated with regular ones.
In early spring, the bushes are fed with nitrogen fertilizers. For this, rotted manure, humus or ammonium nitrate are used. Before feeding, the plant is well watered.
Before the formation of buds, sodium humate or potassium sulfate is added. This will give the plant the necessary strength to bloom. During flowering, fertilizers are not applied, this can damage the bush. After flowering, old buds must be removed from the plant, and then well fed with potash and phosphorus complexes. For re-flowering varieties, it is necessary to use at least two dressings with a break of 10 days.
At the end of the season, three-fold feeding is carried out, the main purpose of which is to give the plant an additional margin of safety for a safe wintering. At the end of summer, organic matter is used, after two weeks - phosphorus complexes, after another two - potassium
It is important to finish feeding about a month before the onset of a real frost, so the timing can be determined according to your climatic region.
Roses are also pruned the next year after planting. This stimulates the formation of side shoots and an attractive bush shape. The cut points must be treated with garden varnish, and the bush itself is sprayed with Bordeaux mixture to prevent infection of the branches.
It is recommended to carry out anti-aging pruning of the bush about once every five years.
To do this, all shoots are shortened to 20-25 centimeters, and the middle of the bush is thinned out. The disadvantage is the loss of decorativeness, but the next season the plant will thank the owner with lush flowering and active growth.
Watering garden roses must be carried out with abundant, previously settled water. On average, each bush will need from 10 liters of water.At the same time, waterlogging is not allowed, as a result of which the plant can rot and hurt.
Loosening the bush is desirable, but difficult for old plants. The root area is necessarily mulched, and care is carried out as far as possible. Strongly overgrown bushes are more expedient to simply spray and water, and loosening is carried out when pruning or feeding.

After the last petals from the roses have fallen, it must be cut again, but this time more radically. For the winter, only 2-3 living buds are left, the rest of the length is removed.
What if it doesn't bloom?
Fix bugs that lead to lack of flowering. There may be several of them.
-
Lack of additional power supply. In addition to the fact that the soil must be loose and fertile, it must also be saturated with organic matter.Therefore, in spring and autumn, the rose must be fertilized, otherwise you will not wait for flowering.
- Plant age. If the flower is already quite old, it needs to be rejuvenated - for this, the old roses are removed, and new ones are planted in their place, which can be obtained from cuttings of adult plants.
- Not enough light. In full shade, the rose will only build up its green mass, and also stretch up towards the sun.
