As we know, it is easier to prevent a problem.

Therefore, first we should understand the reasons for such a transformation.

Why do roses turn into wild roses?

First of all, this happens due to incorrect vaccination.

The problem may also be due to high levels of humidity in the environment or improper pruning of the bushes. In some cases, the problem may be caused by pests that attack fragile roses.

How to understand that the transformation process has started

Here you need to carefully examine the plantings. In such cases, the color of the shoots changes, they have a greener shade, and the thorns become smaller and denser. As for the leaves, they also change: they become longer and duller.

What to do if roses have started to turn into wild roses

You should remove the soil from the roots, find the rosehip shoots and break them off.

It is important to examine not only the flowers, but also the soil around them. The fact is that the roots of the rose hips can produce shoots in a radius of up to three meters.

After three days, you can add fertilizer. For this, it is better to use superphosphate mixed with water in a ratio of 1 to 10.
