Step-by-step care instructions

Seat selection

Blush prefers sunny areas, but normally tolerates partial shade. It is recommended to place the rose in a place that is lit by the sun from morning to evening. It is in such conditions that the decorative properties of this plant are maximally manifested. The Blash site should be protected from winds and drafts, but with adequate air circulation.

Cannot be chosen for landing Blush lowlands. Otherwise, the rose may become sick due to the cool air that lingers in such places.

It is necessary to maintain a distance of at least 1-2 m from shrubs and from 3 m from trees. If this rule is not observed, the roots of the trees will take moisture from the seedlings, and the crown will create a shadow.

Timing

Roses are planted in spring, after the end of frost, or in autumn, before the onset of frost.

What should be the soil?

For the successful development of a rose, it is important to plant it in a suitable soil. The ideal option is loose, loamy or loamy, slightly acidic soil with a pH of 5-6, containing a lot of humus.

Sandy soils are completely unsuitable for this variety.. Such soil is poor, poorly retains moisture, quickly overheats in the heat and is supercooled in winter.

Landing

It is not recommended to plant a rose with seeds. This method does not preserve the varietal qualities of plants. When growing use seedlings. They can be purchased at specialized stores or from trusted people.

You need to choose planting material very carefully. A good seedling has a multi-level root system, an even root neck and a healthy aerial part without dry and rotten areas. Seedlings are bought at the end of March or in April and kept before planting in a cool room. On the eve of landing, they are placed in water for 4-6 hours.

Landing sequence:

1. If the soil is sandy, add weathered clay or peat, as well as compost or turf soil.
2. Dig holes 40-50 cm deep at a distance of 0.5 m from each other.
3. Dip the roots in the talker: 1 part water, 2 parts clay, 1 part manure.
4. Place the root system of the plant in the prepared hole, spread the roots.
5. To fill up with the earth.
6. Seal the soil around the seedling.
7. Form a roller from the ground around the bush to hold water at the roots during irrigation.

Temperature

The optimum temperature during the formation of buds and flowering should be in the range from +14 to +20 ºС. In winter, Blush is able to withstand frosts of -20 ºС.

Important! In the first year after planting, the rose is very susceptible to temperature fluctuations. To protect the buds, it is advisable to occult the plant by 15 cm. In summer, in extreme heat, it is recommended to protect the seedlings from direct sunlight using lutrasil.

Watering

In the warm season, bushes are watered 2-3 times a week. For one plant, 1 bucket of water is required, and in the heat - 2 buckets. Moisture should penetrate up to 30-35 cm in depth.

Top dressing

Apply special complex mineral fertilizers. In the spring, during the growth of the rose, the first nitrogen fertilizing is applied to the soil, the second - potash. At the time of budding and after flowering, the soil also needs to be fertilized.

In summer, alternate mineral and organic top dressing. In the fall, phosphorus-potassium fertilizers are used.

Weeding

Regularly remove weeds around the plant.

Pruning

If there is a desire to grow a spreading bush on the site, the forming pruning is allowed to be neglected. Sanitary pruning must not be skipped. In spring, as soon as the buds begin to swell, it is necessary to prune old, diseased and non-overwintered shoots with pruners.

Transfer

The blush is transplanted by transshipment.

Preparation for winter

Before persistent frosts, it is recommended to shelter bushes for the winter. Extra branches are deleted. Places of cuts are treated with ash. Flexible stalks are bent to the ground, spud with dry foliage or spruce branches and covered with warming material.

Breeding

Rose Blush propagated using cuttings. This method makes it possible to maintain varietal qualities. Cuttings are cut from semi-lignified shoots. Harvesting is carried out when the shoots form buds or immediately after flowering.

1. Early in the morning cut shoots from the bush.
2. Cuttings 5-8 cm long with 2-3 leaves are cut from the central part. The lower section is made obliquely under the kidney itself, and the upper one 1 cm above the kidney. Remove the bottom sheet and part of the top.
3. 18-20 hours before planting, the cuttings are placed in the root formation stimulator, immersing the ends by 1-1.5 cm.
4. Cuttings are rinsed with clean water.
5. Planted in open ground or in a box. For this, a mixture of vermiculite with sand or sand with peat is poured over sod-humus soil. The substrate layer should be about 3-4 cm. Cuttings are planted obliquely, deepening by 1.5-2 cm.
6. Cover with glass or plastic containers or film.
7. Moisturize from a spray bottle several times a day.
8. After a month, when the roots are formed, the shelter is removed. Cuttings are fed every 2 weeks with a solution of ammonium nitrate or urea (15-20 g per bucket of water).

Diseases and Pests

The blush has medium resistance to fungal diseases. In addition, the leaves or buds of a plant can damage caterpillars, spider mites, aphids, or leafworms. In this case, it is required to immediately remove the affected foliage and treat the rose with special chemical protective equipment, following the instructions on the packaging.
