Roses will appreciate the fresh air, so take them out to the balcony in summer. In addition, they need nutritious soil, for which, during the active period, it needs to be fertilized once a week, and also loosened. Before wintering, roses should be cut, leaving 5 buds on each branch. But you do not need to remove the leaves. It is better to crop in accordance with the lunar calendar: during the time when the moon is in the growth phase. If necessary, if the pot has become small for a rose, it is transplanted into a more spacious one. This is done carefully, without disturbing the roots, without destroying a clod of earth.
