When to plant roses? Detailed explanation of planting time and methods

Rose planting time

Under normal circumstances, roses are suitable for division after leaf fall in November-December or when the buds just begin to sprout in early March-April.

Rose planting tips

Roses mainly use 2 cultivation types:

The first is the pruning method. This method has high pruning technical requirements, slow flower formation, high yield, and a low proportion of commercial flowers.

The second is the layering method. It has low pruning technical requirements, fast flower formation, low yield, and good fresh flower quality.

1. Prepare the land and make beds. Before planting, plow the soil deeply, and use huaku for soil disinfection, so that the soil and fertilizer are fully mixed. Make beds 12cm wide, with a ditch width of 40cm, and a bed length of 5.5~6.0m. Do not break the soil too fine; if it is too fine, the air permeability is poor, leading to slow seedling recovery and slow later growth. Leave about 50cm on the south side of the greenhouse.

2. There is no strict limit on planting time; planting can be done in all four seasons, and the best time is spring and autumn. When planting, plant 2 rows per bed, with a row spacing of 40cm, a plant spacing of 10~12cm, and 40cm between the two sides of the cultivation bed, averaging 7~8 plants/m2, and maintaining about 63,000 plants/hm2. The planting density varies among different varieties.

3. Field management. After planting and seedling recovery, cultivate and loosen the soil in time, and control red spiders, aphids, and powdery mildew. When the plants grow to about 25cm, begin layering; layering should be done at noon on a sunny day, otherwise it is easy to break. After planting, roses generally need 5 years, so fertilization should be plentiful and heavy; generally apply about 60t/hm2 of organic fertilizer, 750kg/hm2 of diammonium phosphate, and 2250kg/hm2 of superphosphate. The organic fertilizer must be fully decomposed. Water about 7d before planting seedlings to keep the bed soil moist. Water in time after planting; the planting water must be sufficient and thorough. On sunny days from 12~16 o'clock, sprinkle water 1~2 times a day to keep the bed surface moist.

4. Watering and topdressing should be carried out according to soil conditions, climate conditions, and the growth state of branches and leaves. During the cultivation of roses, if the soil moisture is insufficient, it will cause the plant's true leaves to fall off. When the surface soil looks dry, water in time to keep the ground moist.

      Before understanding rose planting methods, let us first look at what methods are generally used to propagate roses. Rose planting methods include sowing, cuttings, layering, grafting, and division. The methods we usually choose are the cutting method and the layering method. The cutting method is to insert young shoots with a heel in early spring, selecting newly sprouted branches, cutting them off at the stem with a sharp knife with a little wood, treating them with growth hormone, and then inserting them into a cutting bed or small pot.

       The layering method is to wound the rose branch below the bud during the rose growing period, bend it and bury it in moist soil, with one end of the branch extending out of the soil. When new roots grow from the wounded part buried in the soil, it can be cut and planted separately. If large-scale planting is desired, the sowing method will also be chosen.

      The sowing method among rose planting methods is generally used only to cultivate new varieties. Put seeds collected in autumn into a plastic bag filled with moist sandy soil, place it in an environment where it freezes at night and thaws during the day, and after about 1 month gradually raise the temperature to about 20°C. After the seeds crack and germinate, they can be sown, or stored in sand until sowing in the second spring. When the seedlings grow 3-5 small leaves, transplant them separately.

How to plant roses Rose planting methods

Roses have long symbolized beauty and love. Ancient Greek and ancient Roman peoples used roses to symbolize their gods of love, Aphrodite and Venus. In Greek mythology, the rose is a masterpiece created by Zeus to show off his power to the gods. Roses are the favorite of many women. Today let us learn about rose planting methods.

Rose planting methods

1. Site selection and land preparation: Roses are drought-tolerant, so choose loam or sandy loam with sufficient sunlight, high and dry terrain, loose and fertile soil, and good drainage. Apply 3000kg/667m2 of compost, plow deeply 20-30cm, then level and make beds.

2. Transplanting: Dig holes at a row spacing of 1.5-2m and a plant spacing of 0.6-0.8m, with holes 15-25cm deep; hole diameter 30-40cm. Loosen the bottom layer, apply an appropriate amount of farmyard manure, cover with 5cm of fine soil, plant the grafted rose seedlings into the holes, spread the root system flat in all directions so that it extends fully, then cover with soil until the holes are full, firm it, and water thoroughly to settle the roots.

3. Fertilizer application: Sprouting fertilizer, mainly nitrogen fertilizer; post-flower fertilizer, applied after the flowering period ends, mainly nitrogen fertilizer, combined with phosphorus and potassium fertilizer; autumn base fertilizer, applied after leaf fall and before the soil freezes, the earlier the better, mainly organic fertilizer.

Roses like fertilizer and are not strict in their requirements. Depending on the growth of the seedlings, fertilizer can be applied under the roots or sprayed on the leaves (urea, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, Gaomeishi, ferrous sulfate), etc. According to the weather and temperature, apply less and often; absolutely avoid applying too early or too heavily, which causes fertilizer damage. In spring, apply dilute human and animal manure and urine to promote seedling growth, and be careful not to contaminate the stems and leaves.

During the bud stage, apply human and animal manure and urine once more, and apply nitrogen fertilizer, combined with an appropriate amount of phosphorus and potassium fertilizer, to provide sufficient nutrients and increase the number of buds. In winter, the plants enter dormancy; open a ring-shaped ditch around the plants for topdressing, mainly farmyard manure, using 2000kg per 667m2, adding an appropriate amount of cake fertilizer and calcium fertilizer, mixing evenly, and applying it in.

4. Watering key points: Watering should follow the principle of watering when dry and draining when wet. Both large and small seedlings first develop roots and then grow. Root development physiological activity requires sufficient oxygen and an appropriate amount of water, while growth requires sufficient water and an appropriate amount of oxygen. In places with little rain and much wind, the seedlings should be watered thoroughly after being planted in the ground, then the soil should be loosened after watering. After that, watering should be controlled according to the dryness and wetness of the soil, the size of the seedlings, and the amount of rain.

In summer, under scorching sun, the soil temperature is high, so watering should be done after 5 o'clock in the afternoon (a sudden drop in soil temperature affects seedling growth). If rainfall is heavy, pay attention to drainage. It is drought-tolerant and afraid of waterlogging; depending on the specific situation, reduce the number of waterings as much as possible. For overwintering in open-air cultivation, after reasonable pruning at the beginning of dormancy, topdress once, and water thoroughly; always pay attention to maintaining it.

5. Pruning key points: After flowering in late summer, cut off slender branches and whitish old branches, and prune once more after leaf fall in winter, mainly shortening and cutting off overly dense branches, diseased and pest-infested branches, and aged branches. This can promote the growth of new branches and increase the number of flower buds.

After roses have grown for 5-6 years, a renewal and rejuvenation pruning should be carried out. Around the Beginning of Autumn, keep a small number of robust growing branches for each plant (clump), dig up the rest with roots, and replant them in another plot, which can expand the cultivation area. From late April to early May each year, cut off dead old branches or diseased branches of roses and remove them from the garden. Cut 7-8 year old branches at 20-30cm above the ground or dig out the entire plant, cut off old branches and diseased branches, divide and replant separately, and avoid replanting on the same site.

6. After small seedlings are cultivated in spring, all flower buds in the first and second periods should be removed (cut off one leaf below the bud) to save nutrients and promote branch and stem growth. For large plants, cut off the residual flowers. For grafted seedlings, promptly remove the sprouts on the rootstock. After flowering in summer and autumn, cut off the residual flowers. Cut off overly long branches, crossing branches, overlapping branches, leggy branches, topping shoots, etc.

7. Field management: Cultivation and weeding. During the seedling stage, pull weeds by hand. Cultivation should be shallow, and do not damage the roots. During the growing period, keep the field free of weeds.

Rose disease and pest control measures

Common diseases are black spot and powdery mildew, which general flower-growing units and individuals absolutely cannot avoid, so special attention should be paid to the prevention and management of seedling diseases and pests. Maintaining robust plants itself resists the invasion of miscellaneous bacteria in natural cultivation techniques. Before planting large and small seedlings, do a good job of sterilization and insecticidal disinfection according to the actual conditions of the greenhouse and soil.

In spring, alternately use 500-800 times dilutions of mancozeb, chlorothalonil, carbendazim, and thiophanate each once (Bordeaux mixture and lime sulfur mixture are also acceptable). If red spiders and aphids are found, carbofuran emulsifiable concentrate and 40% dimethoate emulsion can be used, and they can also be mixed with fungicides. The yellow plum period and autumn rain period are the peak periods for black spot, and in summer, hot and humid with much rain, the disease is also severe. During this period, the spraying interval should be shortened.

Spraying precautions: Generally 8-10 a.m. and 4-7 p.m. Spraying on a sunny and windless day is best.

Today we introduced rose planting methods. Rose planting methods are actually not very difficult. As long as everyone masters the necessary technical knowledge of rose planting and understands common knowledge such as the growth patterns of roses, they can easily succeed in rose planting. Rose planting definitely requires enough patience.
