Rose flowers have the reputation of being the “Chinese rose”, their colors are bright, and in daily life they are grown as potted plants; blooming roses always bring us a good mood, but flowers blooming and fading is a law of nature. Is there a way to make rose flowers keep blooming continuously? Follow the editor and take a look.

1. Choosing pots and repotting

For potted roses, it is best to choose ceramic flower pots, and it is also best to repot the roses once a year. Early spring is the best time for repotting. When repotting, be careful to remove part of the old soil, then replace it with fertile potting soil, and at the same time apply an appropriate amount of base fertilizer to ensure what is needed for their growth and blooming.

2. Fertilizing

After new buds sprout in spring, a liquid fertilizer should be applied to the potted roses about once every 10 days, because from this time on the growth and feeding of the roses speed up, and the fertilizer needed for the corresponding growth keeps increasing along with the continuous growth. However, when fertilizing, apply thin fertilizer frequently and gradually increase the fertilizer concentration so that the roses slowly adapt. If concentrated fertilizer is applied right from the start, it will cause root burn. Topdressing during the flowering period is also essential, and quick-acting fertilizer is suitable. In summer, a small amount of fertilizer liquid can be appropriately mixed into the water when watering; in autumn, stop fertilizing and control water appropriately.

3. Watering

Watering rose flowers can be summarized as watering when dry and stopping when wet. In spring and autumn, watering around noon is suitable, and at the same time pay attention to the water temperature, which should be slightly higher than the soil temperature. In summer, more watering is needed, once in the morning and once in the evening each day, to prevent physiological drought. In summer, high temperatures make the plant transpire heavily, so besides watering, water mist also needs to be sprayed around the plant multiple times to increase humidity. In the rainy season, pay attention to water accumulation to avoid root rot, and also pay attention to strong sunlight exposure in summer, so shade work needs to be done well.

4. Pruning

Whether it is the first blooming or the second blooming, after the flowers fade, the spent flowers and upper branches should be pruned away in time, so as to avoid excessive consumption of nutrients and affecting the normal growth of the plant. After the flowers fall in autumn, moderate pruning has already been carried out to promote the sprouting of new branches. In winter, heavy pruning should be done, cutting off from bottom to top all diseased branches, useless branches, damaged branches, dead branches, crossing branches and overlapping branches, and only 3-5 healthy buds need to be kept on the whole plant.
