The queen of the garden is, without a doubt, the rose - sophistication and aroma, the decoration of any flowerbed. However, her majesty requires special attention.

Roses left without proper care can die, depriving us of their beauty.

Here are some tips to help keep your roses healthy and blooming profusely.

Roses, like all living organisms, need the amount of water that would promote their growth and flowering.

Overwatering can lead to root rot, while providing insufficient moisture will leave your flowers looking tired and lifeless.

Soil: The Foundation of Successful Growth

The soil should be fertile, well drained and neutral or slightly acidic.

Insufficient attention to soil quality can lead to poor root development and, as a consequence, to the death of the plant.

Pruning: The Art of Form and Health

Without proper pruning, roses can become overly bushy, increasing the risk of disease and reducing flowering.

Removing damaged and dead branches maintains the air circulation and sunlight needed for flowering.

Protection: barrier against pests and diseases

Before the start of the season and in full swing, it is necessary to inspect the plants for diseases and pests.

Preventive treatment and timely removal of affected parts will prevent the spread of problems.

Top dressing: nutrition for luxury

Feeding with specialized fertilizers containing all the necessary micro- and macroelements will strengthen the health of roses and promote lush flowering.

The love and attention you put into caring for your roses will come back to you a hundredfold in the form of delightful flowers and fragrances.

Remember: a rose is not just a flower, it is a creature that requires your efforts and patience, and what a rose will be depends on your diligence and love for gardening.
