What to do with roses in spring to improve their flowering: they will become a real decoration of the site
There are a few tricks that are worth your attention if you want to have lushly blooming rose bushes in your garden that will cause a sigh of admiration from everyone who happens to see them.
Of course, the first step that every gardener will have to take in the spring is to remove the winter cover from the roses, said the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh .
If the plantings were mulched, the old material should be disposed of - pests and pathogens may be hiding here.
Just in case, let us remind you: collected garbage must be burned.
Abundant and prolonged flowering of roses is impossible without pruning the bushes - get rid of damaged and dry branches, and then act in accordance with the varietal characteristics.
However, regardless of what variety you personally grow, there are several general rules for pruning. Thus, the tool must be extremely sharp and, to be sure, treated with an alcohol-containing solution. Fresh cuts should be sprinkled with a solution of furkacin or brilliant green.
Finally, it is time to treat rose bushes against infections and diseases. A 2% solution of iron sulfate will do for this. Remember, you need to treat not only the plants, but also the soil underneath them.
Well, and the obvious stage is feeding. In spring, complex fertilizers with nitrogen in their composition are the best choice for this purpose.
