Water stagnation should also be avoided. Therefore, you will have to abandon the cultivation of rose bushes in the lowlands. And also in areas where the groundwater level is close to the earth's surface. When placing roses near buildings, it is necessary to maintain a distance of at least 0.5 m between them and the walls of buildings. If there are other plants with a wide root part in the neighborhood, it is better to plant Rosarium Utersen away from them. At a distance of 1m to avoid competition for food and moisture.
The depth of the planting hole is 0.5 - 0.7 m. The diameter is not less than 0.5 m. Half a bucket of organic fertilizer should be added to the soil at its bottom. For example, rotted manure. And also thoroughly moisturize. It will not hurt to create a drainage layer of pebbles or rubble. As this will allow excess water to be removed and to avoid stagnation in the soil.
Then the neatly spread root system of the seedling is lowered into the hole. And it is sprinkled with earth so that the neck is covered by 5-6 cm. After planting, it is necessary to thoroughly water the seedling and sprinkle it by 0.2 m. In the first weeks, the seedlings will need a lot of moisture. They should be watered every five days.

For the first few years, young Rosarium Utersen roses will require a little more maintenance than adult plants. In mild summer conditions, weekly watering of roses is recommended. One bucket per bush. In case of drought, watering is done more often. Because it depends on the rate of drying out of the upper layers of the soil. Young seedlings under the age of 3 years need mineral and organic fertilizers. Moreover, as they grow older, the frequency of procedures decreases. For the first 3 years, the rose bushes should be fed 4-5 times during the season. Then you can limit yourself to 2 procedures.

Light frosts are beneficial for the climbing rose variety Rosarium Utersen. Because they will help to harden the plant. The bushes should be covered on dry days without precipitation.
