Sad statistics say that the lifespan of roses purchased in pots in most cases does not exceed 3 months.
In order not to lose the flower prematurely, the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh advises to transplant the plant into a larger container immediately after purchase.
This recommendation is explained by the fact that the queen of flowers has a fairly developed root system, which means that it needs more space so that it can develop normally.
The following tip will explain to you what to do after the rose has finished blooming.
There is an opinion that after the last petal falls from the bush, the rose can be sent to the trash can with peace of mind, but this is not true - just a few simple steps will give the flower a second life.
Firstly, do not leave wilted inflorescences on the bush – they must be immediately pruned.
Secondly, in order to transplant a rose into the ground, you will need to propagate it by cuttings.
To do this, you need to cut the cutting, put it in water and wait. When the roots reach a size of about 2 cm, you can start planting.
