In winter time the perennial garden plants fall into "hibernation" that in the summer to please you with new fine colors. But that "hibernation" did not become pernicious for plant, it is necessary to be prepared for it in advance. Especially it is worth paying attention to pletisty roses which owing to the sizes and thorns cause the mass of difficulties.
It is required to you
- - fir twigs;
- - polyfoam;
- - cellophane;
- - gloves;
- - means from mice;
- - potash or phosphoric fertilizer.
Instruction
1. It is necessary to attend to question of preservation of pletisty rose long before winter. For a start do not forget that already since the end of summer it is impossible to cut off flowers. It causes maturing of new sprouts which till winter do not manage to ripen in rose and perish. Unfortunately, their death often attracts also loss of all bush.
2. Already with early autumn begin to water and fertilize pletisty rose less often. So she gradually will begin "to fall asleep", without having stress at the first frosts. Nitrogenous and manure fertilizers cause the strengthened growth which is harmful to rose before dormant period.
3. Before frosts remove the remained leaves from bush. They need to be broken accurately, from top to down. All foliage needs to be removed far away from bush to prevent distribution of fungus and mold. Fresh escapes with very young leaflets need to be cut off. It will help bush to keep useful plastic substances till the next season.
4. So, preparatory work is performed. For successful wintering it is necessary to cover bush of pletisty rose. Optimum weather for this purpose - dry and solar. Previously feed up plant phosphoric or potash fertilizer, but without nitrogen impurity. And in order that during wintering the rose was not exposed to mushroom diseases, it can be sprayed special 3% with solution of the Bordeaux liquid. If there is no such solution, then it is possible to mix 300 g of laundry soap and 30 g of copper vitriol in 10 l of water.
5. The shelter occurs as follows: the place where there will be sprouts of rose, needs to be loosened and covered with fir twigs. Connect all escapes by nylon thread and bend down on this place. Record sticks or stakes. Prigibaniye needs to carry out in several stages as escapes can break and decay. From above put some more branches of fir twigs and cover with cellophane, plywood or polyfoam, having strongly attached the shelter to the earth.
