Features of agricultural technology
Prepare the soil before planting. The root system adapts perfectly if the plant is placed in warm soil. This means that you need to start planting in the warm season, when the threat of a return of spring frosts has already passed.
Landing
When planting, it is necessary to ensure that the depth of the hole is not less than 0.6 m. Half a bucket of rotted compost mixed with garden soil should be placed in the hole at half the depth. Then, after planting the rose, it must be watered abundantly with water.
The sequence of actions when planting a plant is as follows:
- A few hours before planting, dip the root in a bucket of lukewarm water. So the bush will be saturated with the moisture it needs.
- Then you need to very carefully remove the damaged parts and lower the bush into the planting hole.
- The hole is filled with a mixture of soil, humus and compacted.
- A small embankment should be formed around the hole, which will not allow water to overflow during irrigation. So it will be absorbed into the soil closer to the root.
- The rose must be watered with settled water at room temperature.
Landing
The place for planting roses should be chosen sunny. If it grows in shaded conditions, it will grow and bloom worse.
Reproduction
The rose propagates by dividing the bush, cuttings or layering. When dividing, immediately after the soil thaws, the rose is dug up and divided so that there are few roots and shoots left on each part of it.
When multiplying by layering in spring, the stems bend down and fit into grooves, pinned, and covered with earth. The shoot tip is placed outside. After several annular cuts, intensive root formation begins.During the summer, you need to constantly keep the soil moist.
Since the rose is thermophilic, for a better rooting process it is grafted onto a rosehip. It is more resistant to drought and frost. When budding, a rosehip seedling is used for 2 years.
Watering
Versilia hybrid tea rose does not need to be watered too often. The optimal frequency of watering is no more than once every 5-6 days. In this case, the amount of water should be significant. If it is hot in summer, the frequency of watering increases, but before that you need to make sure that the soil at a depth of about 8 cm is dry.
As autumn approaches, watering should be carried out less often. It is necessary to loosen the soil in a timely manner.
Top dressing
During the season, it is necessary to carry out up to 5 dressings. For this, either mineral compositions or universal mineral fertilizers are used.
It is preferable to use organic fertilizers. However, fresh manure is not used, it must be properly milled. Organic fertilizer should be applied diluted with water.

Water the plant abundantly before and after fertilization. In no case should the fertilizer dosage be exceeded, since the plant may die.
Pruning
The bush must be cut in order to form a beautiful shape and prepare the plant for the winter. In the first case, the florist himself chooses the number of shoots in order to achieve the desired shape of the bush.
If you plan to trim the plant for the winter, then all the extra shoots that provoke excessive thickening of the bush are removed. By cutting them off, you can cover the plant for the winter.

Warming
The rose needs insulation, especially if the frosts exceed the twenty-degree mark. For this, spruce branches, grass and dry leaves are used. The whole plant is covered with a non-woven fabric.
