Once you've mastered rose care knowledge, the flowers will bloom round after round without fear of the harsh summer

After entering July, sunlight becomes intense. The whole world instantly shifts from humid to a hot and dry season, so what care measures do we need in July? Let's learn about them together below.

During the plum rain season, roses fully absorb water and nutrients, and their branches and leaves grow as luxuriantly as tall herbaceous flowers. Conversely, after the plum rain season ends, the leaf color gradually darkens, and the branches begin to become woody

Care work in July

1. Topdressing

Apply liquid fertilizer appropriately according to growth conditions, such as organic nutrient solution; no topdressing is needed.

2. Pest and disease countermeasures:

Spraying chemicals in the intense heat can easily burn rose leaves, so spraying should be completed within July. Especially when signs of black spot disease are found, spray promptly to prevent the disease from spreading.

3. Adjusting plant shape:

Adjust the plant shape according to the position of sunlight; when pruning back, adjust according to the sun's position. Roses are sun-loving plants, so when pruning back, expand the area exposed to sunlight as much as possible.

4. Pruning back after the second round of flowers:

After pruning back the first round of flowers, repeat-blooming roses will grow new branches and produce a second round of flowers. After the second round of blooming, also prune back to above the large leaves, and the plant height should be trimmed evenly and levelly, which can help prevent the effects of extreme summer heat during hot, dry summer conditions.

5. Bud and flower removal for new seedlings:

For flower seedlings bought already bearing flowers, because blooming places too heavy a burden on the plant, the flowers need to be removed as early as possible. Likewise, if it is a small seedling bearing buds, the buds should also be removed. This operation should continue until around September.

Have you all digested these July rose precautions? Let me summarize a few relatively important points for everyone: appropriate topdressing, pest and disease prevention, adjusting the plant shape toward sunlight, branch pruning after the second round of rose blooming, and bud and flower removal for new seedlings.

Master these key points before the intense heat arrives, and you won't need to worry about your roses failing to make it through!
