Agrotechnics

For Grand Amur roses, they choose sunny areas without cold drafts. The acidity index of the soil can vary in the range of 5.6 - 7.3 pH. When preparing the planting pit, it is important to provide a good drainage layer that will keep the plant from stagnant water. Sand or gravel works well with this function. A hole is dug to a depth of more than 50 cm.

For planting roses, a soil mixture is prepared, which includes:

  • 3 parts of manure,
  • 2 parts of fertile soil,
  • 1 part peat
  • 2 pieces of sand.

Important! The optimal time for planting Grand Amore is early May, so that the soil has time to warm up enough.

Before planting, you should inspect the condition of the seedling. If the seedling has an open root system, it must first be soaked in water for several hours. The damaged parts of the root are removed.Shoots are also shortened, thereby cutting off weak stems to stimulate the growth of stronger branches.

Care

Watering frequency is determined based on weather conditions. On average, it is once a week. In dry weather, you can additionally irrigate the plant. Up to 5 liters of cold water are consumed per bush. Do not allow water to get on leaves, stems and flowers. After flowering, watering is not carried out until spring.

Do not allow water to get on leaves, stems and flowers.

Fertilization is carried out in the spring before flowering and in the middle of summer. To do this, use ready-made complex formulations or folk methods. Among the folk methods are:

  • Feeding with chicken droppings. It is combined with water in a ratio of 1:20, fermented for 5 days and again diluted with water 1: 3.
  • Feeding with cow dung. To prepare the solution, the proportion of 1:10 is observed. The solution is infused for 7 days, and then diluted with water. One part of manure accounts for 2 parts of water. A solution based on cow dung is not applied at low temperatures, since it may not be absorbed.
  • To prepare the solution, you can use a tincture of tops, chopped grass and weeds. These components fill the container by ¾, add 2 tablespoons of soda ash. The remaining space is filled with water and left to ferment. Then filter and dilute 3 parts of the infusion with 10 parts of water.

Note! Weeds that have reached insemination age cannot be introduced into such a tincture.

Organic fertilizers have a good effect on the development of young plants. For more mature bushes, minerals can be added. For example, 20-30 grams of ammonium nitrate per 1 square meter.

To stimulate flowering, potash-phosphorus fertilizers are applied in spring. To do this, 10 g of superphosphate and potassium sulfate are dissolved in 10 liters of water. The procedure is repeated in the middle of summer.

Weeding will help fight unwanted weeds and keep your garden clean.

Pruning

To maintain the shape of the bush, timely pruning should be carried out. The procedure is carried out three times. The first pruning is aimed at removing diseased and damaged stems. The second pruning is done in the summer. During this period, wilted flowers with a small section of the stem are cut. Pruning in the fall helps to prepare the plant for wintering by pruning broken, long and thin stems.

Timely pruning is necessary

Reproduction

For cuttings, shoots are chosen that are already half woody. Young shoots, shoots fed with nitrogen fertilizers are unsuitable for grafting. The best time for cuttings is early morning, since the shoots will absorb all the juices during the night. After the procedure, the cuttings are placed in bags filled with water.

The following diseases and pests may be the most dangerous for hybrid tea roses:

  • Aphids, caterpillars, beetles. To combat insects, use the preparations Confidor maxi, Acrophyte.
  • Powdery mildew. Bordeaux liquid, 0.2% balayton solution or 1% topaz solution are used against it.

  • Against the soot bloom that occurs on the leaves due to a colony of fungi, prepare a solution based on soap and alcohol.
  • Gray mold attacks buds, shoots, leaves and flowers. Leads to the death of the plant. Sick areas are removed, the rest of the plants are treated with horsetail decoction.
