Features of agricultural technology

Like any other garden culture, the Baroque rose requires some care. To grow a flower crop, the first step is to properly prepare the planting material and choose the right place for planting. Pay attention to the level of illumination of the site and the availability of sufficient space to organize a reliable winter shelter. The place should be well ventilated and at the same time protected from drafts.

Important! In no case should you plant a Baroque rose on swampy soils and in places where rose crops have already grown. The latter contraindication is associated with an increased risk of soil contamination by pests and fungi.

Planting a culture is done as follows:

  • dig a hole of sufficient size for the free placement of the root system of the seedlings;
  • a drainage layer is organized at the bottom;
  • pour soil pre-mixed with compost or humus;
  • the seedlings are dipped for a while in a container with water (to drink the roots with moisture);
  • cut off all shoots, leaving only 3-4 stems, which, in turn, are shortened by about 25 centimeters;
  • the seedling is lowered into the hole, carefully straightening the roots, placing the plant in such a way that the root collar is located about 4 cm below the surface of the earth;
  • the landing site is covered with soil and carefully compacted;
  • abundant watering is performed.

For reliable protection of the root system from drying out in the spring and from cold weather - in the autumn, the rose bush is spud. In spring, hilling must be removed as soon as the first shoots begin to appear.

Watering Baroque roses should be done using drip irrigation technology.

In a constant mode, it is necessary to monitor the condition of the soil - it should not be either too dry or too wet.

Fertilizing the culture requires regular. In spring, before the buds swell, nitrogen fertilizers are usually applied, which accelerate the development of both foliage and shoots. In summer, mineral compositions are more appropriate, as well as organic mixtures - their use improves the quality of flowering. In autumn, one of the measures to prepare for winter is to increase the plant's immunity and its frost resistance with the help of phosphorus-potassium fertilizers.

The health of the Baroque rose also needs attention. For the prevention of plants, it is recommended to spray with the help of special compositions for the treatment of roses. Insect control is carried out using insecticides.

For the cold period of time, roses must be covered. To do this, after hilling the planting site, the shoots are removed from the support, carefully tied and laid on the ground, previously covered with spruce branches or dry leaves. From above, the roses are covered with the same spruce paws or any non-woven covering material.

The description of caring for Baroque roses does not contain any complex manipulations. Plant care is extremely simple.

The most important thing in care is a systematic approach to all the necessary procedures.
