III. What Are the Growing Techniques for Rose Flowers?

1. Site selection and land preparation: What soil is suitable for planting?

Rose flowers are suitable for growing in a slightly acidic environment with loose, fertile soil, good drainage, and rich organic matter. Therefore, when choosing soil, try to choose slightly acidic loam rich in organic matter for planting. After selecting the site, deep plow the soil about 10-30 cm, and apply about 1 kg of organic fertilizer per mu to prepare for later planting. Note here that if planting 1-3 year old rose seedlings, it is best to deep plow about 25 cm; if planting seedlings over 3 years old, it is best to deep plow about 50 cm; if they are young seedlings, deep plowing about 10 cm is enough.

2. Seedling planting: How to plant?

(1) Seedling treatment: Place the purchased seedlings on soil and sprinkle an appropriate amount of water every day until the plants regain vitality. Once they have vitality, cut off a section of the main branch of the seedlings, about 30 cm in length, and keep 3-5 branches per plant.

(2) Planting method: Dig a hole about 30 cm deep and 50 cm wide at a plant spacing of 40 cm and row spacing of about 55 cm, then plant the treated seedlings into the hole, finally cover with soil little by little, press firmly, and water lightly.

3. Field management techniques: How to manage?

(1) Water requirements: Rose flowers do not have high water requirements. Generally, it is enough to keep the soil moist. So in summer, water more, but do not water too much, to avoid waterlogging and affecting plant growth. At other times, determine the amount of watering according to the dryness and wetness of the potting soil.

(2) Fertilizer requirements: Rose flowers do not have high fertilizer requirements. Generally, applying farmyard manure about four times a year is enough, and the specific amount of fertilizer applied is determined according to the fertility of the soil.

(3) Cultivation and weeding: After rose flowers grow for a period of time, the soil will become hard. At this time, loosen the soil in time and remove surrounding weeds to increase soil aeration. Generally, cultivation and weeding can be done 10 times a year, and each time the soil is loosened, do not go too deep or too shallow, to prevent damaging the root system.

(4) Pruning and shaping: After rose flowers grow for a period of time, according to the growth condition of the tree vigor, cut off all miscellaneous branches, dead branches, and so on, to increase air circulation in the garden. Generally, pruning can be done once each year in spring, after the first flush of flowers, during the National Day period, and within 1-2 weeks after the Beginning of Autumn. Each time you prune, control the density among the branches well to promote rose flowering.

(5) Pest control: During the growth period of rose flowers, pests such as aphids, scale insects, and carmine spider mites may occur, so prevention and control should be done in advance. For those already affected by pests, special pesticides can be used for control.
