Beginners use flowerpots to grow roses and roses. You need to know these basic skills.

If you don't have a large courtyard to plant rose roses, you can choose to grow roses in flowerpots, but you need to pay attention to some basic skills. Maintain as much direct light as possible to maintain the position of rose roses, and maintain more than 6 hours of direct light every day. Avoid keeping it in a shady environment and keep the environment ventilated and transparent.

If you don't have much room to grow rose, it's great to try to grow rose in a flowerpot. It has a lot of varieties and different colors. It can add luster and aroma to your home. Let's take a look at the things we need to pay attention to.

1. Choose the right variety

Potted roses are best miniature roses, such as common green ice, romantic babies, sweet carriages and Bic, etc. Not all roses are suitable for pot conservation, and all kinds of climbing vines are best not to be cultivated in flowerpots, because they need supports to climb and grow, and it is difficult to produce large flowers if they are not pruned carefully. They grow on the neighbor's balcony.

In addition to miniature rose, you can also cultivate some rose varieties with short plants.

2. Pay attention to watering

Potted rose must pay attention to keep the soil with good drainage, can add enough drainage medium to the soil, such as common perlite or river sand, so as to avoid rotting roots.

The containers of cultivated rose must have enough drainage holes to ensure good drainage. Rose flowers prefer dry farming to long-term soil moisture.

Only in the spring and summer growing season, it is necessary to wait for the soil to dry and water thoroughly, and in autumn and winter, you can wait until the soil is completely dry for a few days before replenishing water.

The best watering time is in the morning, avoid watering in the evening, do not leave water in the evening, leaves long-term moisture can easily lead to powdery mildew or other fungal diseases.

When watering, it is best to water the soil directly, pouring water directly to the roots of the rose, rather than spraying with water.

3. Regular fertilization

If you want to promote potted roses to blossom regularly, you must need to replenish fertilizer regularly. Slow-acting organic liquid fertilizer is generally given once a week in spring and summer, which can promote continuous growth. after cooling in autumn, we should appropriately reduce fertilization and stop fertilization in winter to ensure that the soil has adequate fertility.

Of course, it is necessary to keep thin fertilizer applied frequently, avoid giving thick fertilizer, fertilizer should not be left on the leaves, and should be watered with clean water every time after giving liquid fertilizer.

4. Change the basin regularly

Conservation of potted rose does not need to change the pot every year, only need to wait for the root system to grow all over the basin soil before the need to change the pot, generally need to change the pot once in about 3 years.

Some roses that grow very vigorously need to change the basin every two years or so, usually in the dormant season in winter and spring, before the rose resumes its growth.

When changing the basin, we should also get rid of the old soil and trim the branches and leaves properly, so as to promote the growth of rose flowers more quickly.

5. Prevent frostbite

Potted rose flowers should also be protected from frostbite, usually after the weather gets cold at the end of autumn, if the temperature is not too low, the temperature is about zero, you can cover the potted soil with some mulch, such as common peat soil or felt, which can prevent the rhizome from freezing to death and recover after the coming spring.

Of course, you can also move the potted rose directly indoors for the winter, so as to avoid freezing the rose, but put it in a place with enough light to avoid raising it in a dark environment, otherwise it will easily lead to overgrowth.

6. Diseases and insect pests

It is impossible to raise rose flowers without diseases and insect pests. The most common ones are aphids, which usually gather on buds and leaves. Aphids absorb juice and wither the branches and leaves.

When there are few aphids, you can use a lot of water to wash away the pests directly, of course, do not let the leaves wet for a long time, otherwise it is easy to be infected with fungal diseases.

Daily maintenance of rose flowers should be regularly irrigated with fungicides, found that diseased leaves should be cut off in time, spray fungicides every week, spray about 3 or 4 times in a row, you can complete fungal diseases.

7. Proper pruning

The maintenance of Chinese rose certainly needs regular pruning, which can not only control the plant type, but also promote branching, which is conducive to the breeding of more flowers.

The time of pruning is usually after the end of the frost, and it can also be pruned properly when the branches and leaves continue to sprout in spring to avoid pruning in the hot and humid summer.
