With proper care, roses can continue to bloom throughout September.
This does not require experience and special knowledge about growing roses. It is enough to just follow the advice of experienced gardeners.
Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", an agronomist and landscape designer, told how to stimulate the flowering of roses in September.
Watering
It is necessary to water blooming roses at this time, even if it is not hot anymore.
You need to plan for the morning, and if rain is expected, you can do without watering.
Try not to overwater the leaves and flowers.
Fertilizer
It is important to apply fertilizers, because winter is coming and a flowering plant cannot do without support.
Emphasis should be placed on fertilizers with low nitrogen content but high levels of phosphorus and potassium.
Trimming
Don't forget to trim off dried flowers. This procedure promotes the formation of new flower buds.
Mulching
Mulch will retain moisture in the soil and also protect against weed growth.
Mown grass, compost, rotted manure, and fallen leaves are suitable for roses.
Processing
Treatment against diseases and pests should be carried out throughout the season. If treatment is not required, it will serve as a preventive measure.
With these simple tips you can extend the flowering period of the bush and prepare the roses for the cold weather.
