Experienced gardeners shared how to prevent a beautiful rose from turning into a “wild” plant.

The main decoration of the garden loves warmth. To accustom the plant to a colder climate, the rose is grafted onto a wild relative - the rose hip.

Often, flower growers notice how their favorite plant begins to change dramatically.

The flower is covered with small thorns, the leaves have changed shape and texture, and the young shoots have turned green.

These signs indicate that the rose has begun to turn into a wild rose. The first thing to do in this case is to rake the soil and clear the area from which the branches grow.

Young shoots are removed and the cuts are treated with a special agent or coal. Then the roots are covered with soil, and after 3-5 days the plant is fed with superphosphate.

However, this is not a one-time procedure. It is possible that similar manipulations will have to be carried out 3-4 times until the rose hips stop producing shoots.
