Any experienced gardener begins to prepare for the procedure of covering roses at the end of summer.
The fact is that the correctness of our actions largely determines whether the roses will “survive” or die during the cold period.
Therefore, it is worth remembering the important nuances that can play a decisive role in wintering, notes Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , an expert of the online publication BelNovosti, a scientist, agronomist and landscape designer.
What are 3 important nuances that flower growers need to know?
Temperature
It is extremely important to keep track of when to carry out the covering procedure. Both too hasty and too late procedures become equally dangerous for flowers.
The following is recommended: wait until the daytime temperature fluctuates between two and five degrees Celsius for 14 days. This is the ideal time.
Spruce branches and snow
Many argue about what to insulate covered roses with. However, the safest and highest quality options are spruce branches and snow.
Ventilation
Many people forget about this, but it is important to ventilate roses during warmer periods. The procedure is also carried out in the spring, when the temperature does not rise below -10 degrees. In this case, they begin to be carried out on a regular basis.
