Recently, a rose grower shared photos in a group, saying his roses never grew well, and aside from not blooming, after trimming yellow and withered leaves today, they were almost bald. When the little gardener saw the roses he was growing, he found quite a few problems. Let us take a look together and learn a few lessons, which will help you grow roses in the future.

1. The first "lesson": lack of light

This is that grower's rose. It looks a bit pitiful, almost hard to look at directly. At first glance, the little gardener saw thick moss on the ground. If there is moss, and it is growing so lushly, that means this place is shaded, with insufficient light and plenty of moisture, which is why the moss grew. So this gives us the first "lesson."

When we usually care for roses, light is one of the factors that must be ensured. It is best to give them more than 6 hours of sunlight a day. This grower's rose is clearly lacking light. A rose that lacks light has leaves that do not look energetic enough, appear old and not full, and it also grows leggy. This is the first problem discovered.

2. The second "lesson": lack of fertilizer

The second problem is lack of fertilizer. This rose clearly lacks fertilizer and looks very "thin and weak." This gives us the second "lesson": when we usually care for roses, we must fertilize in time. Roses like fertilizer. Growers in rural areas can use farmyard manure, and growers in the city who have the time can compost fruit peels and fish intestines themselves. The little gardener suggests using a ready-made organic nutrient solution.

It is not that composting is bad, but composting has a strong smell, and using it at home is not good for the health of family members. We can directly use Huadongde rose-specific organic nutrient solution. It strengthens roots and promotes flowering. It is an organic fertilizer fermented from sugarcane molasses residue, fully fermented, green and safe. It is very suitable for families with elderly people and children, safe and reassuring.

3. The third "lesson": pot and soil

The third problem is poor air permeability. This grower also said himself that it has been raining continuously recently, and this rose was left on this moss, so the potting soil must be too wet. In addition, the soil is a bit compacted, so the roots cannot breathe well, and the rose's pot is not especially large. Adding these factors together, the rose naturally cannot grow well. This gives us the third "lesson."

First, during normal care, we should basically repot roses into pots two sizes larger once a year, which helps them grow roots. Second, when repotting, it is best to choose soil with good air permeability, such as coconut coir soil, which is very suitable for roses. Third, the placement location should avoid heavy rain and standing water as much as possible, otherwise problems easily arise. This grower's roses did not grow well precisely because these points were not handled properly.

By looking at other people's flowers, we sum up our own experience. Everyone, remember these three "lessons," and avoid these points when caring for roses yourselves. Only then can our roses grow well. Veteran flower growers, do you think there are any other problems with his roses?
