How to grow roses in winter

Rose soil

The soil requirements for rose cultivation in winter are not high. It is relatively drought-resistant and resistant to barrenness. However, it is best to plant it in a fertile, moist and well-drained place. When the plants are first planted, it is important to apply well-rotted organic fertilizer. After one or two years, you can dig trenches and apply base fertilizer once before winter.

Watering the roses

When growing roses, water them according to the actual weather conditions from early spring to early summer. Keep the soil moist and avoid drought. In summer, especially during droughts, you should increase the amount and frequency of watering, and pay attention to drainage issues during the rainy season. In autumn and winter, just keep it moist and avoid water shortage. When watering throughout the year, be careful to prevent water accumulation at the roots of the plants.

Rose pruning

Moderate pruning of roses is necessary, especially in winter. Cut off diseased and weak branches, keep the main branches and remove some side branches. This will promote the germination of new buds and promote the healthy growth of the plants. For potted flowers, pay attention to pruning and shaping, and remove weak branches and flower buds during the flowering season.

Fertilizing roses

During the budding period of roses, it is necessary to apply a thin layer of cake fertilizer and water, so as to ensure good flower color and a long flowering period. As the plants grow larger and produce more and more flowers, they need more nutrients, so more fertilizers are needed, especially in winter, when the soil should be cultivated and fertilized at least once, and during the flowering period, fertilizers should be applied once or twice a week.
