Why the rose does not bloom: your enemy is a wild rose
For bright and lush flowering, roses need proper care, including watering, nutrition, lighting, shelter, etc.
But if you diligently provide the plant with everything it needs, and it still does not want to please you with flowers, the problem, according to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh , may be called "wildling".
To begin with, we suggest you refresh your knowledge of plant growing and remember what a wild plant is. The answer is simple - it is a root into which a plant has been grafted.
If the bush does not bloom completely, most likely the varietal graft has died (for example, due to freezing) and the shoots are coming from the root.
You can recognize a wild plant by its very rapid growth. In contrast, the varietal part never shows rapidity in the growth of vegetative mass.
Another difference is the leaves: if they are varietal, they are dense and glossy, but if, on the contrary, they belong to a wild plant, they are dull, small and thin.
Still in doubt? Use the following hint: in spring, the cultivar rose sometimes produces reddish shoots, but the wild rose is completely green.
Finally, if the shoot grows at a distance of 10-15 cm from the main bush or below the grafting site, it is definitely a wild plant.
If the rose has a large number of strong varietal shoots, you can try to carefully remove the wild shoot without damaging the plant. To do this, you need to gently shake the wild shoot until it separates from the main plant.
Previously, the expert listed flowers that can be planted next to roses, as well as those that are best kept at a distance.
