We'll tell you about the main mistakes that lead to roses turning black, and how to save the plants.
What to do if roses turn black after winter
The main mistakes that cause blackening are the wrong choice of covering material and untimely covering.
It is important to understand that roses can not only freeze, but also rot.
This happens if the plants are covered too early in the fall and the cover is removed too late in the spring.
A similar reaction is caused by a layer of covering material that is too thick.
It is also extremely important to remove the cover gradually, starting with a little ventilation.
What to do with blackened roses? You should resort to pruning.
It is necessary to remove all blackened, dried and diseased shoots.
Focus on the color of the core: damaged shoots have a brown core.
Such shoots need to be cut down to the green part, otherwise they will continue to dry out/rot.
