If you are keen on growing roses in your garden, you have probably wondered: how to make roses survive the winter without cover?
According to the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, scientist-agronomist, landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh, only special varieties can spend the winter months without shelter.
The rest need additional protection.
How to achieve good wintering of rose bushes
Spangram is considered one of the best options for covering materials for roses.
Its features include durability, air permeability, and moisture resistance, all of which are important for successful overwintering of rose bushes.
When purchasing, pay attention to the density: provided that it is 60 micrograms per meter, the material will allow air to pass through and prevent the creation of a greenhouse effect.
Spangram provides diffused light as it has good light transmittance.
By the way, this quality allows the material to be used in the process of covering vegetables and seedlings if it is necessary to protect them from frost and stimulate growth.
To ensure good air circulation and protection from the cold, it is recommended to cover the roses with three layers of material.
One final note: do not rush to uncover roses in the spring to prevent damage from sudden frosts, but you should not keep them covered for too long either, as this can lead to rotting of the shoots.
