Roses have one property, like any cultivated plant - to run wild. Fruit trees in this case give tasteless fruits. Roses turn into wild roses.
At first glance, there is nothing scary - the bush also blooms spectacularly, and also produces useful berries. But the aesthetics suffer.
We will tell you what needs to be done to prevent a varietal rose from turning into a wild one.
Reasons
- Incorrectly selected variety.
- Violations of agricultural technology rules.
- Frosts.
This trio of reasons turns a good bush rose into a good rosehip. It does not happen overnight, and everything can still be changed if you notice the first signs in time.
The rose turns into a rosehip
The first thing that indicates the beginning of metamorphosis is the color of the leaves and thorns, as well as their size.
Rose hips have rich green shoots and small leaves. The branches are thinner and the thorns on them are shorter than those of roses.
Roses are distinguished by a denser leaf blade and larger thorns. The shoots have a reddish tint, much denser than those of the rose hips, and the foliage is richer.
Prevention
To prevent a rose from turning into a wild rose, you need to follow the recommendations for caring for it.
1. Water and loosen the soil on time.
2. It is also important to fight weeds, which take away some of the nutrition and prevent the bush from developing.
3. It is important to apply fertilizers in a timely manner. You can use mineral additives and organic matter.
4. Having discovered the first signs of changes, you need to find the first shoots of the rose hips and cut them down to the roots. Do this with each new shoot. If the rose has started to run wild, then you need to double the care and attention for it.
