If you are interested in growing roses on your plot, you probably know that this plant, perhaps more than any other, needs high-quality care.

An expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh has compiled a list of the most essential things that every "rose grower" should have.

In the first place, you should place a good pruning shears. It is even better if there is more than one of these tools, because you will have to cut a lot, and, by the way, not only roses.

In addition, you will need a paste to lubricate the cuts after trimming, for example, “RanNet”.

For the first treatment against pests, experienced gardeners recommend using “Preparation 30 Plus”, while the first treatment against diseases can be carried out using “Abiga-Peak” or any other copper-containing fungicide.

Please note: the first step is to treat for diseases, while pest control is carried out 5-7 days later.

In addition, you will probably need a fertilizer to revive and stimulate the growth of basal shoots in rose bushes - this is nothing more than magnesium sulfate.

If you want new shoots to appear as soon as possible after pruning, you should use calcium nitrate, spring fertilizer or another fertilizer that contains a sufficient amount of nitrogen.
