A rose bush blooming 100 flowers at once, covering a wall in 1 month - how did she grow it?

5 steps for cuttings, roots in 1 month

Roses are generally propagated by cuttings, and May or October is the most suitable time:

1. Choose a young branch about 13cm long for cuttings, keeping 3~4 small leaves at the top;

2. Use scissors to cut the upper end flat, and cut the lower end at a downward slant;

3. It is best to use a shallow pot for cuttings. The soil can be humus soil mixed with sand and mud, kept moist;

4. Before cutting, disinfect with a 0.5% potassium permanganate solution, then rinse clean with water. The cutting depth should be about 5cm;

5. After successful cutting, roots generally form in about 20 days, and at this point it needs to be potted up.

Take the rose out of the original pot, shake it gently to let the roots spread out;

Then prepare a slightly larger pot, and add the previously prepared loose humus soil to 2/3 of the pot;

Place the rose in, continue adding soil until slightly full, and water thoroughly once after 3 hours.

Care like this, and the flowers bloom bigger and bigger

Soil

Roses are drought-tolerant and do not have high soil requirements. Generally, soft and fertile sandy gravel soil with some leaves and grass roots added for fertility is enough. Put some crushed stones at the bottom to increase aeration and drainage.

Watering

Roses like a slightly moist environment, and waterlogging that damages the roots must be avoided. In spring and autumn, water once every 15 days; in summer, water once every 10 days. Usually check the soil moisture more often. If it is slightly moist, there is no need to water; water again after it dries out completely.

Light

Roses like light and warmth. Generally place them on a south-facing balcony or south-facing window. If conditions allow, they can be placed outdoors to ensure sufficient light; otherwise, they will bloom less and the flowering branches will be weak. But in the hot summer, proper shading is needed to avoid direct strong light.

Fertilizing

Roses relatively like fertilizer. During the growing period, apply liquid nitrogen fertilizer once or twice a month, such as fermented fruit peel water, compound fertilizer, etc., to promote the growth of branches and leaves;

During the flowering period in April and May, apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer two or three times a month, such as potassium dihydrogen phosphate or fermented banana water, fish intestine water, etc., to promote flowering.

Pruning

Pruning is an essential part of the care process. Generally prune once before flower buds form, leave the main trunk long, keep 3~5 buds on the side branches, and cut off all the remaining dead branches and weak branches. The overall density should be moderate.

Pest prevention

During the care period, if ventilation, light penetration, moisture drainage, and air circulation are not paid attention to, roses are very prone to powdery mildew, black spot disease, etc., showing white powder, dark spots, and even yellowing and falling off.

When pests or diseases are found, immediately cut off the diseased and weak branches, and spray with an 800-times dilution of triadimefon on the leaves, once a week, for 3-4 consecutive times.

One extra step before flowering, and the whole wall bursts into bloom

Roses mostly bloom from May to September, with pink and white being the majority. They cling gleamingly to fences or wall tops, adding a touch of elegance and romance to the summer courtyard for no reason at all.

So here comes the question: how do you train roses to climb a wall?

1. Choose a wall with good ventilation and light, cut off all flowering branches and top branches, keep 2~3 bud points, and artificially train the main branches horizontally toward the wall;

2. Pull a few wire or vine trellises on the wall to fix the main trunk of the rose, and arrange the positions of the remaining branches according to the direction of extension, pruning reasonably. Of course, you can also directly fix the rose branches on a fence.
