3 – Use good potting soil
When planting roses, it is important to use good soil. This will allow your roses to grow well and have beautiful blooms. Here are some tips for choosing the right soil for your roses:
- Choose a soil rich in organic matter. This will allow your roses to feed well and grow quickly.
- Choose a light soil. Roses do not like heavy and compact soils. A light soil will allow them to breathe better and grow bigger.
- Choose a neutral or slightly acidic soil. Roses prefer neutral or slightly acidic soils because they find ideal conditions there to grow properly.
By following these few tips, you are sure to choose the right soil for your rose bushes and thus encourage their beautiful flowering!
4 – Think about fertilization
To have beautiful rose bushes, think about fertilization! In fact, roses need a diet rich in nutrients to grow properly. That is why it is important to fertilize them regularly, approximately every 15 days in spring and summer. You can use a special fertilizer for roses, or a liquid fertilizer diluted in the irrigation water.
It is also important to choose the type of fertilizer you are going to use carefully. In fact, some fertilizers can be harmful to roses if they are not suitable. So opt for organic or natural fertilizers, which will be less aggressive for your plants.
Finally, don't forget to clean your watering and fertilizing tools regularly! Indeed, bacteria and fungi can grow on these tools and be transmitted to plants, which can cause diseases. So don't forget to clean your tools with soap and water every time you use them.
5 – Prune roses regularly
To have beautiful rose bushes, it is important to prune them regularly. Indeed, pruning allows you to control the height and shape of the plants, but also to remove diseased or dead branches. It stimulates the production of new shoots, which makes the roses more vigorous and gives them a more aesthetic appearance.
However, care should be taken not to prune roses too much, as this can harm their health. It is recommended to remove only 30% to 40% of the stems when pruning. In addition, it is important to respect the vegetative rest periods of the plants so as not to stress them unnecessarily.
In general, it is recommended to prune roses in spring, just after they bloom.
