Rose Burgundy Ice loves sunny landing sites, but a slight shade is also suitable for them. It is better to plant a bush in those places where the wind will blow it and at the same time other plantings will be obscured from the strong wind. It is necessary to plant Burgundy roses on a hill so that the water does not stagnate. Otherwise, excess moisture will lead to rotting of the root system and the base of the bush. The soil is needed fresh, light, fertile, well-drained. Before boarding, you must do the following:

  1. Prepare the seedling. Cutting will be a successful method. You can buy a seedling in the nursery or at the seasonal fair.
  2. After placing the seedling in water for several hours, add a little growth enhancer there.
  3. Dig a hole in the soil where the roots of the burgundy rose will sit comfortably.
  4. Prepare the soil mixture.
  5. Sprinkle the bottom of the hole with drainage and sprinkle it with fertile soil.
  6. Straighten the roots of the burgundy rose and lower the bush into the recess so that the grafting site is 3 cm above ground level.
  7. After falling asleep, tamp the soil a little.
  8. Watering. After that, the earth may sink, then you need to add it a little more.

For better rooting of a young bush, abundant watering is needed. It is necessary to irrigate the plant so that not only the top layer of the soil becomes wet, but also the rest of the space of the former hole to the deepest roots.

Rose Poetry

Rose hybrid tea Burgundy - capricious, requiring special attention. In good conditions, the hybrid tea beauty will give 6-7 buds in each inflorescence. The whole warm season, the bush will delight with the aroma of its flowers.

How to water

Hybrid tea roses need infrequent, abundant watering. A young bush will require the gardener to do this more often, about 1 time in 2-3 days. However, it is important to remember that water stagnation cannot be allowed. Therefore, you can pour out only 3-5 liters. Subsequently, the number of such procedures is reduced and brought up to 1 time per week, but this is always done taking into account the dryness of chernozem.

Timely application of water to the soil is especially useful during the period when buds are formed and the active flowering phase begins. If the rose lacks moisture, the grower will be able to determine this by insufficiently large flowers and the loss of their saturated color.

Watering roses

An adult rose Burgundy will need about 10 liters of water. Hybrid tea roses love being watered with melt or rainwater. But the tap is not very suitable for watering - it contains a lot of salt impurities. In the process, you need to pour water in a thin stream, and carefully, without dripping onto the foliage and flowers - so the roots will definitely not be damaged. Otherwise, it leads to fungal diseases.

Note! In a hot period, to add water to the soil, it is worthwhile to warm it up a little, watering it in the evening. Provided that the summer is not hot, you can carry out the procedure every 10-14 days. And in the autumn, this is not needed at all, except in the case of a complete absence of precipitation.

About feeding

The health of spray roses depends on timely fertilization. A noticeable effect will be if you combine organic and mineral fertilizers. The former will improve the chemical composition of the soil and will nourish the rose, the latter will enhance its growth and duration of flowering.

During the first year, the Burgundy variety does not need root fertilization, it is enough that was introduced during planting. But in the fall, leaf care is useful. For the composition, you will need 1 tbsp. l. potassium sulfate and 8 liters of water. As a result, the plant will get stronger and be ready for winter.

Potassium sulfate

The first time (with the exception of the planting one), you need to feed the plant after the spring pruning is done. The growth of Burgundy roses is activated by dry mineral additives; they can be bought in a specialized store or in the department of a hypermarket. Watering the bush abundantly, it is necessary to scatter minerals around the rose, retreating about 10 cm from the central part of the plant, cover it with soil and water it well again.

On a note. After a week, organic matter is introduced - 5 liters of rotted mullein are poured next to the bush, and before that the soil is loosened.

When the buds are tied, the roses will need another feeding. In this case, chicken manure and cow dung are best. The solution is prepared in advance: 1 liter of gruel is poured into 8 liters of water and allowed to stand for 2 weeks. The resulting organic mass is again diluted with water, this time 1: 5, and immediately poured under the bush. Also, during the ovary period, foliar fertilization is carried out, which will include wood ash and a slightly weak solution of nitrate.

Note!Before the flowers begin to bloom, the necessary fertilizers are applied. During the period of active flowering, roses are never fertilized.

The last time of the year, the roses will need feeding in September: organic is used. Such fertilizers are applied with obvious healthy external signs of roses, as well as if the plant is constantly actively blooming.

How to prune roses

To ensure abundant flowering, young roses are pruned in spring and autumn. Underdeveloped and damaged processes are cut off from the bush, leaving only 3-4 as a result.

If the bush has been growing on the site for more than a year, it is cut off so that it rejuvenates: all hard stems are removed, ensuring the development of young and graceful twigs. Sick, dried up and underdeveloped shoots are also cut off, and healthy ones will simply be shortened. In addition, you need to rid Burgundy of empty and wilted buds. Pruning in spring will help the bush to form the correct shape.

Pruning roses

Throughout the summer, preventive pruning is carried out, removing sluggish faded buds and dry leaves. In the fall, this is done to prepare the plant for winter. All leaf plates and inflorescences are cut off from the rose, weak, dry, physically damaged leaves are removed, and healthy ones are shortened.

Important! The secateurs must be very well sharpened, and even disinfected. If the tool is not sharp enough, it will damage the bark, leaving the plant extremely vulnerable to infection.

Particularly pay attention to the health of the rose bush.It should not be susceptible to diseases and pests. Otherwise, the plant needs urgent treatment with drugs, the action of which is aimed at exterminating insect pests.

Loosening process

For the health and active flowering of roses, it is necessary to monitor the absence of weeds around the bushes. It is very important to cultivate the soil well. The loose layer of the earth is saturated with oxygen bubbles, due to which it is able to retain moisture for a long time. This state of the earth is very beneficial for the development of the root system. It is best to loosen the ground under the rose 1 time / month. after watering has been carried out and top dressing has been applied.
