Winter is a difficult time for the “queen of flowers”, so in spring the plant requires special care and attention.
To ensure that roses bloom and smell good in the summer, when the weather gets warmer, you need to carry out several simple procedures.
In March, there is a risk of frost even in cases where the temperature remains steadily around +5 …+10 °C.
Gardeners add snow under the bushes before it melts completely. The mild cold will prevent the roses from waking up too early and suffering from frost.
When it finally gets warmer, the covers are removed from the bushes. It is necessary to monitor weather forecasts and not allow the rose to experience a lack of light and rot under the covering material.
To recover faster after winter, plants are pruned. First of all, diseased, frozen and dry shoots are removed. They are distinguished by their black color.
The procedure is carried out with clean and disinfected pruning shears, capturing a little healthy tissue.
Ring-shaped brown or red spots on shoots are a dangerous signal. This is a sign of infectious burn. Gardeners remove such shoots completely, otherwise the disease can destroy the entire plant.
