Rose first lady

For planting roses, choose light areas without high groundwater and drafts. Light nutritious soil is suitable for the plant.

For planting, you can independently prepare the soil with a full set of necessary micro and macro elements

Important! In order to prevent stagnation of rainwater, choose a site with a slight slope.

For planting, you can independently prepare the soil with a full set of necessary micro and macro elements. For such soil, connect:

  • 10 kg of fertile garden soil.
  • 5 kg of peat.
  • 400 g of wood ash and mineral fertilizer.
  • 10 kg of sand.

The rose is planted sequentially in several steps:

  1. The prepared soil is watered and allowed to completely absorb moisture.
  2. The seedling is placed vertically, spreading the roots along the entire recess.
  3. When sprinkling the seedling with soil, it is important not to cover the lower buds.
  4. The bush should be shortened to 20 - 25 cm.
  5. A support should be placed near the planted plant.

Note! Laguna rose is demanding on temperature conditions. The optimum temperature for it is from 23 to 25 degrees. At low temperatures, the plant requires shelter, especially in winter.

Watering

It is not recommended to allow the soil under the plant to dry completely

The optimal frequency of watering in the first year of a plant's life is once every 5 days. Subsequently, watering can be reduced to 1 time in 10 days. This characterizes the resistance of the Laguna rose to drought. It is not recommended to completely dry the soil under the plant. For irrigation use settled water. The procedure is carried out in the morning or evening hours.

Top dressing

When planting a seedling, organic fertilizers are applied to the hole. With the onset of the growing season, the plant is fed with nitrogen fertilizers, in the middle of the period, potassium-phosphorus compositions are introduced, after the end of the period, the plant is fertilized with potassium substances.

Important! Organic fertilizers should be applied no more than 2 times a year.

Pruning

Pruning is an important cultivation technique for the Laguna lagoon rose.The event is held 2 times a year: in spring and autumn.

Pruning is carried out 2 times a year

Spring pruning is necessary to remove diseased parts of the stems that have not survived the winter. It also prevents large branching of the plant, allows you to form a beautiful bush of the desired shape. To form a bush, no more than 3 buds are left on the side arrows.

Autumn pruning helps prepare the plant for the winter period. To do this, the stems are shortened by a third of the length so that the rose can be hidden from the cold, and three-year branches are removed so that the quality of flowering does not decrease.

Additional Information!To shelter roses, you should choose the period before the onset of the first frost. The branches should be bent and spruce branches should be laid between them and the ground, which will protect the stems from contact with the ground.

Transfer

The best time for a transplant is before the kidneys form. For the procedure, the stems are untied from the support, and the plant is dug in at a distance of 50 cm from the base. Then the rose is removed from the ground and the roots are shaken off. For planting, a pit of the same diameter is prepared, on the bottom of which a drainage layer and a layer of nutrient soil are laid. By lowering the seedling into the ground, the roots are spread. Then the soil is tamped a little.

  • The leaves on the cutting are removed completely from below, and cut in half from above.
  • The top cut should be away from the kidney.
  • For planting, a mixture of soil and sand is used.
  • The planting depth of the seedling should be no more than 2 cm.
  • From above, the plant should be covered with a glass container and placed in a lighted place.
  • It is important to observe the frequency of watering the seedling in order to prevent it from drying out.
  • The plant is protected from direct sunlight.

Note! Reproduction by cuttings promotes the early rooting of the sprout and allows you to maintain the quality of the variety.

Tying a rose

Tying the stem to an arch or arbor, the stems are directed in a spiral around the support

There are several ways to tie a plant:
