About pruning and preparing for wintering

Pruning of roses is done in early spring, when the buds are still sleeping on the shoots. This process is necessary to cause flowering and give the rose a decorative look.

In a newly planted young rose, dried inflorescences are removed, but this can be done in the summer (weak pruning). With medium pruning, 5-10 buds remain on the shoot, which causes early and abundant flowering. To rejuvenate the bush, all shoots are cut almost to the root (2-3 buds remain).

The rose can withstand low temperatures up to -7 ° C, but so that the shoots do not freeze, it is better to cover them for the winter. To do this, lay a layer of spruce branches, dry grass on the ground, remove the shoots from the support, tie and cover with agrofiber.

In early spring, you need to start airing, and then, as soon as the threat of frost passes, you need to form a bush.

3. Dry flowers need to be cut constantly. If this is not done, then flowering may not occur.
4. The gardener does not give enough attention to the rose bush. In order for the sapling to grow and develop intensively, it is necessary not only to water and loosen the soil, but also to feed it, to spray it in a timely manner.
5. A rose that does not promptly remove root shoots will not bloom either. Abundant root shoots indicate that the planting depth was chosen incorrectly.
6. On the branches of the rose, there may be bacterial burns that occur during the wintering of the bush under cover material. If you do not cut such an escape, then the burn can go to other branches.

If the rose does not bloom, then it is urgent to analyze the situation and consider all the reasons regarding its rosary.
