Roses are a potted plant that people love very much, with brilliant colors, bold blooms, a long flowering period, and a rich fragrance. Many people choose them when growing potted plants, so knowledge about rose care is quite popular! Today Huashao will start with seedling selection and correct some common misconceptions!

1. Seedling selection

First, the common misconception: many people think that the bigger the seedling, the better, and the more expensive the seedling, the better. If you are an experienced gardener, then you can choose to grow such large seedlings. But if you are a beginner gardener, it is recommended not to touch such seedlings. The bigger the seedling, the greater the damage after transplanting; whether from the roots to the leaves, no matter how careful you are, it will bring huge harm to the plant itself.

So for beginners growing roses, it is best to proceed step by step steadily, buying small seedlings with strong plants and well-developed root systems and growing them slowly. What you harvest is not only a sense of accomplishment, but also rich experience and knowledge accumulated over time, rather than facing a large pot of roses you have never grown before and being at a loss.

2. Pruning

After flowering ends, in order for the next month's blooms to be better, everyone should promptly cut off the spent flowers to avoid unnecessary waste of nutrients. Generally when pruning, you can start from the 2nd node. Prune away leggy branches: once you find that your rose has many useless leggy branches, you should promptly cut them off to avoid wasting too many nutrients and affecting the rose's next bloom. Cut away overly dense branches: if the rose's branches are too dense, it will lead to the breeding of various bacteria, which is not conducive to the rose's subsequent growth and flowering. So once a rose has overly dense branches, you should promptly do the pruning work to ensure the rose's healthy growth.

3. Fertilizing

Do a good job applying nitrogen fertilizer. Nitrogen fertilizer can be made yourself: put soybean milk and yogurt into a plastic bucket, then add water to the plastic bucket and seal it well, then you can place it under the sun and bake it for 20-30 days, and it will become usable fertilizer. During use, everyone needs to dilute it before use; the ratio of fertilizer to water needs to be 1:50!

Phosphorus fertilizer can promote roses to differentiate more flower buds and bloom more. So before the rose blooms, everyone should apply more phosphorus and potassium fertilizer to the rose. Method for making phosphorus fertilizer yourself: you can buy some fish intestines at the market, or collect the fish bones left over from eating fish at home, then put them in an airtight container, add water, seal it, and let it decompose, for about 1 month. During use, everyone needs to dilute it with water; the ratio of fertilizer to water is about 1:50.

4. Cuttings

Select the rose branches to be used for cuttings: generally the selected branches must be robust, with a length of generally 5-7cm. In addition, it is recommended that the cut branches retain 2-3 pairs of leaves so as to increase the chance of survival.

In order to promote rooting of the rose, everyone needs to soak the rose branches in a carbendazim solution, generally recommended for more than 30 minutes. After soaking is complete, everyone needs to place them in a cool place to dry in the shade.

Choose a suitable soil environment and make preparations for the rose cuttings. For the soil used for rose cuttings, everyone can choose perlite, vermiculite or river sand; once the soil is ready, everyone can put it into a pot, then insert the dried cuttings into the soil, and water thoroughly once, after which it can be placed in a cool and ventilated place for care. During this period, in order to promote early rooting of the rose cuttings, it is recommended to spray water on the leaves once every 3-5 days, lasting about 15-20 days.

Once the rose has grown roots, everyone can pot it up. For the soil needed for potting up, it is recommended to choose loose, breathable nutrient soil. In addition, everyone should be reminded that in order to let the surviving rose grow better, you should first place the potted rose in a cool and ventilated place to acclimate for about 1 week, and wait until it has adapted to the living environment at this time, then move it under the sun. Remember that this work cannot be rushed and must be done slowly.
