1. Cutting propagation

Cutting propagation is one of the common planting methods for floribunda roses. It can be done throughout the year, but if it is to be done in autumn and winter, it needs to be carried out in greenhouses and conservatories, which is more conducive to heat preservation and makes the cuttings more likely to survive. Floribunda rose cuttings are generally taken in winter, and then the rose branches need to be inserted into a loose and breathable substrate, then the substrate should be kept loose and breathable, and organic fertilizer should be applied. Acidic soil can be mixed with perlite, peat soil, and river sand, so that the roses can grow more beautifully.

2. Planting density

The planting density of floribunda roses should be determined according to the size of the seedlings. If the seedlings are large, the density should be smaller; if the seedlings are small, the density can be appropriately larger. Enough growing space should be reserved to avoid problems such as being too crowded later, which can prevent upward growth and make the plant shape unattractive.

3. Watering

When planting floribunda roses, watering should be determined according to the season and growth conditions. In summer, when it is dry and there is little rain, it is necessary to water thoroughly at one time, especially during the flowering period when the water demand is relatively large. If the rainy season comes, drainage work must be done well to avoid water accumulation and root rot.

4. Fertilizing

In addition to providing enough base fertilizer, floribunda roses also need frequent fertilizing during the vigorous growth period. When it is dry or rainy, fertilizing should be lighter. Before winter, fertilizer can be applied once, and excess weeds should be cleared away. After flowering, a quick-acting fertilizer can be applied one or two times as a top dressing.

5. Pruning work
