The queen of flowers doesn't let you breathe even in summer. June is the main flowering period for bush roses, which means a lot of extra work.During the flowering period, it is necessary to remove faded flowers on an ongoing basis to accelerate the formation of new ones and to keep the bushes in good he alth.
In historical roses that do not repeat flowering, forming pruning is made after flowering. Then we remove weak, tangled, disfiguring shoots from the shrubs. Summer is a period of increased development of climbing roses.
We lead their shoots, constantly controlling their location and tying them tightly to the rungs.It is worth noting that the most abundant flowering is obtained on horizontal shoots, therefore, where possible, it is worth bending the twigs.
In September we clean bushes of faded flowers and shoots damaged and damaged by diseases. Let's not forget about the power supply. Repetitive flowering varieties can be very "voracious".
The first power supply is made in spring, at the beginning of vegetation.The second time we use fertilizer after flowering.Organic fertilizers, such as compost and manure, as well as mineral fertilizers are suitable for feeding roses. We have not been using nitrogen fertilizers since July.
These rose diseases are dangerous
One of the most common summer rose diseases is powdery mildew.At first it appears as a white coating and can be seen on young leaves.At the end of summer, white mycelium can already be seen on the stems and flower petals.
Black blotch causes discoloration of the leaves to create even more problems. Infected shoots are cut out. We fight diseases from the first symptoms with appropriate preparations.
