Successful wintering of roses – pledge of beautiful garden in future summer season. The rose – plant whimsical more than others needs good conditions of winter dream.
The successful wintering of roses depends on many factors: way of the shelter, grade, the used equipment, the fight against diseases and wreckers which in time is carried out. To fall of plant there have to be healthy, and escapes well ripened. Young branches, most likely, will not endure severe frosts. It is possible to stop growth of new escapes simply prishchipnuv their tops.
In September bushes it is necessary to feed up phosphorus-potassium fertilizers. It is the best of all if they are in the liquid state. So roots will quicker acquire nutrients. If air temperature lower than +10, then extra root fertilizing it is possible to carry out twice. And here it is necessary to refuse nitrogen fertilizers. They will tighten growth period.
Before frosts in September or the beginning of October of rose it is necessary to spray with solution of iron vitriol (on 10 liters of water of 300 g). It will allow to reduce risk of appearance of infectious diseases. Bushes should stop be watered and loosened. Or to do it on minimum.
After approach of morning frosts of rose it is necessary to cut off. All remained buds and foliage should be removed to avoid decay and other fungal diseases. If bushes big and magnificent, them it is possible it is pulled together with rope. At the trudging roses leave lashes which the plant has released this year as it will be the main stalks in future season. For the winter they need to be given to horizontal position. If it is difficult to bend thick stalks, then do it gradually, day after day, lowering below and below until they concern the earth. Then they can be recorded.
It is good to hill roots of bushes mix of humus, sand and the earth on height of 20-30 cm. Not in which case do not powder them with the fallen-down foliage. It can decay and rot that will lead to plant infection with decay.
You do not hurry with the shelter of roses. They perfectly transfer frosts to-10 degrees. Begin the shelter when stem of thermometer has stepped over minus mark, but there is no snow yet. Between the external environment and plant there has to be air layer. The it is more, the protection will be more reliable. From above it is possible to cover with fir-tree fir twigs or special ukryvny material. It is also possible to use roofing material which will protect plants from excess moisture. Such shelter requires strong framework. It is necessary to establish arches and to tie to them rails. It is better not to use film, roses can rot under it. And it is very difficult to record it.
Not too be zealous, sending rose to wintering. One should know where to stop. Too "warmly" covered bushes can die from perishing. There are also winter-hardy grades which can do without any shelter. It is necessary to air sometimes in the warm winter of rose.
