- Basics and Important Factors of Rose Care (Things You Need to Know Before Growing Roses)
1. Distance
Choosing a suitable location that is away from strong winds and has enough space for the plant to grow and receives adequate light is one of the first steps in planting roses. Also, try not to plant it too close to other plants so that they do not weaken each other. So for best results, try to plant them at least 61 cm from another rose and 91 cm from any other plant.
2. Fertilization and Good Soil Your roses should grow in well-drained soil with a pH between 6.5 and 7. Organically rich soil allows nutrients to reach flowers and plants better. Fertilize them regularly according to a schedule, which will vary depending on the type of fertilizer you choose. When fertilizing roses, remember to do your last fertilization in the summer, because in the fall and winter your plant no longer needs fertilizer and prefers to rest. The best fertilizer needed for growing and maintaining roses is animal manure. 3. Temperature and Light Roses usually grow from mid-spring to fall. You should grow roses when the temperature is between 4 and 15 degrees Celsius during the day. roses need at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight per day. However, to reduce the damage of winter cold, it is better to place these flowers next to fences or south and west walls if you are growing them outside the house, such as in a small apartment greenhouse such as a yard or garden. 4. Proper watering of roses 5. How to prune roses Annually pruning excess, brown or dead branches and leaves, in addition to creating the right shape and appearance, will remove diseased and pest-infested branches and, on the other hand, will lead to better growth and an increase in the number of new branches. After cutting a diseased stem, be sure to clean your pruning tools and then move on to other roses so as not to transfer possible diseases to other plants during the growing season. The best time to prune roses is from March 15 to April 15.Roses need a lot of water. The number of times you need to water them varies based on climatic conditions and soil type. For example, roses planted in sandy soil will need more water than those planted in clay soil. Also, in hot, dry, windy weather, when flowers need more water, consider using a drip irrigation system. Remember to get the water deep down to the roots rather than the leaves. Water every five or six days during the growing season.
