A braided rose - where and how to plant

A braided rose is a real find for decorating and decorating arches, arbors, columns, walls and fences. The shoots of these plants reach a five-meter length, covered with dark green glossy leaves and curved thin thorns. Flowers usually small, collected in a brush or small inflorescences. There are terry, semi-double and simple. Blooms a wispy rose abundantly for 30-35 days, covering the entire length with clusters of bright buds.

In order for the rose to grow well, it is necessary to choose the right place for planting. Choose a site that is illuminated by the sun in the morning: the dew will dry quickly, which will not allow the pests to multiply. After noon, it is desirable that the wicker rose is in the shade - the sun at this time is hot and can sing a tender beauty. She does not like drafts either - it grows badly in such a case, but gives few flowers.

For normal development of the plant, the soil must have good water permeability. This means that the water must quickly and without hindrance go into the ground. If the subsoil water is close or the water comes off long, rotting of the roots is possible. In this case, the bush may die. If your There is no suitable place, you can get out of the situation as follows: dig a hole that does not reach the level of subsoil waters in depth, put a large flat stone on the bottom or concretize the bottom, and pour a fertile soil on top . Such a decision will not allow water to rise, and the roots of the rose will not be waterlogged. In addition, stone or concrete will not allow the root system to develop into the interior, and the root roots will go horizontally.

Best of all, a wispy rose grows on light loam. It is poorly suited as clay soils, and sandy. But even from this situation one can find a way out: in the place where it is supposed to plant a rose, it is necessary to take out a part of the initial soil and "dilute" it to another. So, you can add sand to the clay, and mix clay with sand. To ensure a sufficient level of fertility, add humus or phosphorus fertilizers to the soil .

Plant the wicker roses need at a distance of at least a meter from each other, and between rows leave 1.5-2 meters. If the landing goes in several rows, then observe the chess order: so the plants do not obscure each other. Prepared seedlings are lowered into dug holes (they must be large enough that the plant can spread the roots - the roots can not be bent), deepening the neck by 10 centimeters. The roots are carefully leveled (to do this, you can pour a fertile soil in the center of the pit, around which to place the roots), fill up with earth, which is well tamped.

At the spring planting, additional measures are required: close the seedlings with a film (a kind of mini-greenhouse). This will create around the plant an area of high humidity, which will facilitate early engraftment. But that's not all. Very whimsical climbing roses. Care will be required and further: daily it is necessary to aerate the plants. To do this, raise the edge of the film. First for a short time, then daily increase the duration of stay in the air. After two weeks, you must completely remove the film.
