Trees and shrubs: we plant roses
Nearend Marchor in early April we can start the spring plantingrosesThe disadvantage of this term is the small assortment and selection of available rose varieties, becauseproduced bushesin nurseries are dug up in autumn. Rose bushes require fertile, loamy-sandy and sandy-clay soils with a pH of 6.0-7.0, before plantingfertilized spread outmanureRoses grow best inpositions sunny , but not too windy. We buy most of the shrubs with the openroot system rootWhen buying shrubs, choose young plants, one-year-old with 5 or 6 shoots and a he althy and strong root system without tuberous growths The preparation of the bushes for planting consists in immersing the whole bushes or only the roots in water forseveral hours
A guide on how to effectively cultivate garden roses
Thentrim system rootto a length of 20-25 cm; dried and damaged shoots and roots should also be cut out. The roses are planted deep so that the budding site is 2-3 cm below the soil surface. The bushes are planted on a mound at the bottom of a wide hole, so thatroot system root can be freely usedin it. Then they are covered with soil, slightly moving the bush so thatfree spacesbetweenroots filledwith soil, then compacted moderately so as not to damage the roots. Water the planted plants abundantly, and after a few minutes, when the water has soaked in, sprinkle the rest of the soil.Planted shrubsfor the first weeksabundantly waterat least onceinweek
