How to grow roses and points to note, master these few little tips

SummaryChoosing soil: suitable for planting in neutral to alkaline soil. Watering at the right time: water once a day in summer; water once every 2-3 days in spring and autumn; water once every 7 days in winter. Sufficient light: daily light exposure must reach 4 hours. Suitable temperature: the suitable growing temperature is 18-25°C. Reasonable fertilizing: fertilize 4 times a year. Points to note: the potting soil and flower pot for growing roses need to be changed once a year, and during the plum rain season, waterlogging in the potting soil must be prevented.

1. Choosing soil

Roses are suitable for planting in neutral to alkaline soil, but their requirements for soil are not very high; you can just get some soil from outside and put it in a pot for planting. If you need a mixed ratio, you can look it up online.

2. Watering at the right time

Generally, the temperatures in spring, summer, autumn and winter are different, so the frequency and amount of watering also differ. However, keeping the soil moist is the better premise. In summer, the watering amount should be larger, on average once a day; in spring and autumn, once every 2-3 days is enough; in winter, water less, on average once every 7 days.

3. Sufficient light

Roses have very high light requirements, with average daily light exposure needing to reach 4 hours. At the same time, they cannot accept diffused light exposure; they must be exposed to direct sunlight, so that the flowers grow more robustly. Generally they need to be placed in a sunny spot, and in winter they need to be brought indoors for care.

4. Suitable temperature

The suitable growing temperature for roses is 18-25°C; at 5-6°C they will suffer cold damage. Temperature is mainly reflected in summer and winter, because the temperature difference between these two seasons is relatively large. In summer, if the temperature is too high, they need to be moved slightly to a diffused-light spot for exposure; in winter, when the outdoor temperature is relatively low, they can first be brought indoors for cultivation, though supplemental lighting is also needed.

5. Reasonable fertilizing

Fertilizing is a relatively important part of the rose growing process. Fertilizing should be divided into before flowering and after flowering. For example, during the growing period, more fertilizer must certainly be given, and at the same time the fertilizing frequency must be maintained at 4 times a year: fertilize once in early spring, fertilize twice before and after flowering, and fertilize once before winter.

6. Points to note

1. The potting soil and flower pot for growing roses need to be changed once a year, generally in early spring, mainly to change the soil and add decomposed manure as a base fertilizer. This not only keeps the nutrients in the pot soil sufficient, but also adapts to the strengthening of the plant's root system.

2. If roses develop withered leaves and diseases, they need to be pruned and prevented in time. At the same time, note that watering should be stopped before fertilizing roses, and the fertilizer liquid must not be splashed onto the branches and leaves. During the plum rain season, waterlogging in the potting soil must be prevented. Roses do not need shaping pruning; just cut off weak branches, diseased branches, overly dense branches and leggy branches.
