A Complete Guide to the Whole Process of Growing Roses

SummaryGrowing environment: Choose loose, fertile and well-drained soil with plenty of sunlight; the suitable growing temperature is between 12-28°C, and enough fully decomposed organic fertilizer must be mixed into the pot. Seed treatment: Before planting, the seeds need to be soaked in warm water at 40°C for more than 6 hours, then scattered into the soil, and transplanted after they sprout and grow 4-6 true leaves. Flower pot selection: Choose a deep flower pot as far as possible. Planting management: Pay attention to light watering and light fertilizing.

I. Growing Environment

1. Roses are plants that like plenty of sunlight, so when choosing a site, try to choose an environment with plenty of sunlight and a sunshine duration of 4-5 hours.

2. If growing them indoors, they need to be placed on a balcony or by a window.

3. Their temperature requirements are not particularly high, and they can grow well between 12-28°C.

4. For the soil, try to choose loose and fertile soil as the main component; on the basis of a certain amount of base fertilizer, garden soil plus river sand can also be used.

5. The commonly used method of preparing potting soil that is used frequently on the market generally uses soil mixed with vermiculite, peat, sphagnum moss, perlite, osmund fiber, etc.

6. You can also use garden soil mixed with river sand in a 7:3 ratio, or dry river mud mixed with honeycomb coal cinder in a 6:4 ratio, or vegetable garden soil, honeycomb coal cinder and river sand mixed in a 7:2:1 ratio.

7. Enough fully decomposed organic fertilizer needs to be mixed into the potting soil.

II. Seed Treatment

1. After selecting good seeds, they need to be soaked; soak them in warm water at 40°C for more than 6 hours.

2. Take out the soaked seeds, then scatter them into the prepared soil, and transplant them after they sprout and grow to 4-6 true leaves.

III. Flower Pot Selection

1. There are not too many requirements for the flower pot used. Since roses will grow relatively tall, if the flower pot is too shallow it will restrict the growth of the roses, so the flower pot needs to be somewhat deep.

2. The appearance of the flower pot is best matched to the image of the plant and flower. To ensure that excess water can flow out along the drainage and prevent water from accumulating in the flower pot and causing waterlogging, there must be drainage holes at the bottom of the flower pot.

3. First plant the seeds into a small pot with a certain depth, then water thoroughly, and you can cover the top with plastic wrap pierced with several small holes. When the plant has grown to a certain size, it can be transplanted into the prepared large pot.

IV. Planting Management

1. During the planting process, be careful not to damage the root system.

2. When planting, also note that roses have relatively many pests and diseases, so pesticides can be sprayed in advance for prevention, so as not to affect the growth of the plant.

3. If the leaves are green and the flowers are growing well, then no fertilizing is needed. Potted roses are generally given light fertilizer.

4. If concentrated fertilizers including chemical fertilizers are used, they can easily cause local root death. During the process of potted rose growing, according to the size of the plant and the pot, apply 20-40 compound fertilizer or nitrogen fertilizer every 1 to 1.5 months in the soil 1 inch below the pot, or pour in fully fermented rice water once or twice a month, with light water and fertilizer.

5. It is suitable to place them in a well-ventilated place relatively far from walls; this is to prevent the reflection of sunlight from scorching the flower buds and affecting flowering.
