Fertilizing roses: valuable tips and tricks
Content:
Rose is a flower that inspires many gardeners. They strive to obtain luxurious flower arrangements from the roses that grow on the site. In addition, the rose is an important element of landscape design, because many of its varieties are suitable for this. Fertilizing roses is an important element in growing flowers. Let's figure out what kind of care the rose needs, and what means are best used to feed it, so that the flowers and bushes are luxurious, bright and blooming for a long time.
What kind of dressing for roses for lush flowering
Soil itself is a material that contains a large amount of minerals. It also contains macronutrients that affect the condition of the bush, its health and splendor, growth and flowering. Much depends on the minerals and macronutrients that are contained in the soil, so you should indicate which components are most suitable for roses:
Phosphorus - thanks to this element, the bush can gradually renew itself, new shoots appear, which also affect its appearance. Also, phosphorus is an active stimulant for the strengthening and development of the root system of the bush, affects the state of the buds, the speed of opening and the size of flowers.
Potassium is another macronutrient that is otherwise called the element of fertility. It is necessary to stimulate the growth of the rose bush, and also affects the size and condition of the leaf system, which plays a significant role. Also, thanks to potassium, the plant becomes more resistant to diseases and attacks of pests, stimulates carbohydrate metabolism, which also affects the growth of the plant.
Spring feeding of roses with microelements
Trace elements are components that can be contained in the soil itself in the area where roses are planted, and can also be supplied along with dressings and fertilizers. Boron is one of the most important trace elements. It is necessary for the plant to develop normally from the first days. If the plant is deficient in boron, then it begins to grow more slowly, and this applies to both its outer part and the root system.
Due to the microelement boron, as well as due to the fact that boron is added to some fertilizers, roses are less susceptible to diseases caused by bacteria or fungi. It is best to introduce this microelement along with fertilizer during the growing season of the plant, since it is fixed in the leafy part, and if the plant is already ready to bloom, then the boron will leave it along with the fallen leaves.
Another trace element is manganese. It is able to support the processes of photosynthesis through the formation of chlorophyll. But it is best to be extremely careful with manganese - an overabundance can cause the plant to dry out, which will also negatively affect the rose bush.
Top dressing is necessary so that the bushes grow more intensively, so that they are more resistant to possible diseases, which are carried by bacteria, microorganisms, insects. Also, mineral fertilizers affect the development of the root system, their health, the formation of conditions for the development of the leaf system. A healthy plant will give a healthy appearance to the rose bush and therefore large healthy buds.
Feeding roses with organics
Organic fertilizers can be formed as a result of recycling waste products of both plants and animals.In the process of their decomposition, a whole new complex of mineral substances is formed, which can have an extremely beneficial effect on the growth and development of a plant to which organic matter will be applied.
Manure is the first organic fertilizer to look out for. It is a whole complex that includes both microelements and macrocomponents, which are equally useful for the growth of rose bushes. Manure includes manganese and potassium, phosphorus and iron - in general, everything that is very useful for roses, their upper part and the root system.
The usefulness of manure may depend on several main factors at once: on the type of animal from which the manure was obtained; from what was included in the feed for the animal, which then produced manure, the age of the animal; from the presence or absence of any diseases in his body, as well as from the conditions of the manure itself.
