After a summer bath and medication, roses bloom with exceptional magnificence

In the current weather, the south has already exceeded 35 degrees, but it still rains once a week, which is a bit of a bonus for us flower lovers born in furnace cities! When growing roses in summer, you need to be a little more particular, give them a bath and feed them some medicine, and they will bloom with exceptional magnificence.

Because the weather is hot, plus dust sticks to the leaves, the rose roots are smothered, and the leaves cannot breathe properly, problems are bound to arise. Rose leaves are like human skin pores; if they are all blocked, the plant will get sick. So in summer, the first thing is to give roses a bath. The bathing method is also fairly simple: just use a large spray bottle to shower water continuously, and the dust on the leaves will be washed away. It is best to spray twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening.

Another benefit of spraying water on roses is cooling them down. In this weather, not just any plant can take it, so proper watering is still very good for plants. Spraying evenly also prevents the phenomenon of part of the potting soil becoming moist due to fast watering, damaging the roots and making the plant less vigorous.

Summer is also a high-incidence period for pests and diseases, so at this time you should give roses some appropriate medicine. The most common is disinfection, because many diseases are caused by fungal infections, such as leaf spot, leaf blight, black spot, powdery mildew and so on. At first they may not be obvious, but gradually the plant suffers more seriously, and treating them then may be more troublesome. So the best way is to water roses once a month with a 1000 times diluted carbendazim solution of Xishi, which can play a very good sterilizing role.

In addition, roses should also be properly supplemented with enough fertilizer. Rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, rich in humus, and with trace elements, it is an indispensable nutrient element for roses. Organic fertilizer fermented from sugarcane stalks is rich and balanced in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, with various organic matters, minerals and amino acids added, promoting the plant to grow rapidly, bloom vigorously, with lush green leaves, while also enhancing disease resistance.

In addition, before summer arrives, dense branches and diseased branches should be thinned out so that roses can have good ventilation and not be infected by diseased branches. Some residual branches, or fallen leaves in the potting soil, should also be properly pruned away.
