Blooming roses are the most beautiful and graceful plants that have an unusual aroma.

There are a large number of types of roses, and the color palette is generally striking in its unrivaled beauty. Today, in the chain of stores you can buy roses of white, yellow, red, blue and many other multi-colored shades.

Since this is a very fragile plant, it needs to be looked after carefully, because it is very much “loved” by pests and various diseases.

Because of this, they begin to wither and stop blooming.

Rose bushes can also get sick from a lack of useful elements in the soil, especially calcium. Therefore, to rejuvenate the bush and restore the growth of young shoots, you need to feed it with a solution of ordinary baking soda.

Ingredients

  • Clean water - 5 liters.
  • Baking soda - 1 teaspoon.
  • Ammonia - 0.5 teaspoon.
  • Magnesium sulfate - 1 teaspoon.

Method of preparation and use

Fill the container with water, dissolve the baking soda and mix everything with ammonia and magnesium sulfate.

Spraying rose bushes

Take a spray bottle, fill it with this solution and thoroughly treat the bush.

Do not carry out this procedure on a sunny day when the leaves are exposed to direct sunlight, as it can burn the treated plant. It is better to do this in the morning or evening.

In just 14-21 days, young branches will begin to grow on the bushes, and then flower buds.

When treating rose bushes with this solution, pay attention to several nuances:

  • strictly follow the proportions from the suggested recipe;
  • First, remove old and dry leaves and branches from the plant; if they are wet, dry them;
  • If you find pests on the flowers, add 1 teaspoon of liquid laundry soap to the solution to destroy them;
  • After a month, the procedure can be repeated if the desired result was not achieved the first time.

However, when the fungus has seriously affected the plant, do not spray the plant with this solution, so as not to worsen its condition. If the dosage norms are violated, you can lose the bush.
