For balcony potted plants, choose climbing roses. Do these 4 steps well and the flowers will bloom one wave after another.

Climbing roses are climbing plants of the Rosaceae family. When they bloom, the whole plant can be covered in flowers, with large blooms and a rich fragrance. Their stems are soft, slender and long, in a vine-like or trailing form, and they have no climbing organs, so they need to be supported with a trellis by hand. Many flower lovers like to keep them on the balcony or by the courtyard wall, where they can explode into a sea of flowers, with very high ornamental value.

Today Hua'er will introduce some tips for caring for climbing roses. Do these steps well, and let them cover the balcony with continuous blooms.

1. Watering

Climbing roses like a moist environment, especially during the flowering period, when they need even more sufficient water. Keep the potting soil moist at all times. When you see signs of the potting soil turning pale, water thoroughly. In summer, water is usually needed every one or two days. Often spray some water on the leaves and around them to increase humidity, so as to ensure the flowers are plump, beautiful and brightly colored.

2. Light

During the growing period and flowering period, sufficient light is needed. However, in summer, be careful to give it appropriate shade. If the sunlight is too strong, it will scorch the leaves and cause the leaves and flower buds to dry up and fall off.

3. Fertilizer

Climbing roses grow vigorously and bloom especially abundantly, so they need enough nutrients to make them lush with branches and leaves and bloom continuously. You can bury some organic fertilizer into the potting soil, such as bone meal, animal manure, etc.

During the flowering period, you can spray a 0.1% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution on the leaves every week, which helps produce more flowers and extend the flowering period.

4. Pruning

For climbing roses, pruning irregularly is very important. During the growing period, some branches grow relatively fast. When they reach a certain length, pinch them back to promote the sprouting of new buds and the growth of side branches, making the climbing rose more vigorous. When entering the flowering period, prune off some thin and small side branches, leaving only 3-4 healthy, thick branches for flowering.

After the flowers fade, also prune them off in time to avoid excessive consumption of nutrients. Then apply some fertilizer, which can let it continuously form buds and bloom.
