Why rose stems turned black after winter: experienced gardeners named the main reasons

At the beginning of the season, many gardeners are wary of "releasing" roses from cover, because they are afraid to see that the stems have turned black.

However, there is no need to worry about this: in most cases, plants can be saved by pruning.

In order to prevent the situation from repeating itself next year, you need to know what causes this result.

What Gardeners Shouldn't Forget

The weather is too cold

If the stems of roses have turned black due to cold weather, you can "breathe a sigh of relief": in most cases, the flowers recover on their own and without outside help.

However, next time, think more carefully about covering your plants for the winter. It is also worth remembering that poor-quality material can lead to moisture accumulation. As a result, roses can be subject to rot. In this case, it is reasonable to prune them.

Disease

Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, reminds that there is a very dangerous disease, which is characterized by the appearance of black stems.

We are talking about an infection that many experienced gardeners call stem cancer. It will not be possible to save the flower. It should be removed from the site and destroyed. In this case, the soil should be subjected to high-quality treatment.
