Rosy kerrievoid

This graceful plant is native to Japan, where it can be found naturally in mountain forests. Rose began its journey across Europe in the second half of the 19th century, and since that time it has been successfully grown, using both for landscaping public places and for private gardens and summer cottages. Rosewood can grow in rocky areas with rocky soil, but still prefers soil rich in humus.

One of the most important advantages of this shrub is its long flowering, which begins in May and does not stop until autumn. Thanks to this feature, the rose-shaped kerrie-shaped looks very advantageous as a hedge.

This shrub is considered a rather unpretentious plant, but still you need to create some conditions for it - we will talk about this in this article.

Rosovik kerrievoidny description

Rosaceae, or, as it is also called "climbing", is a deciduous shrub, reaching a height of one and a half to two meters and belonging to the "Rosaceae" family. The size of the leaves of a rich green color is from 2 to 10 cm, they are of a simple oval shape with jagged edges and strongly protruding veins. Young shoots gradually change the original green color to gray-brown.

Single white flowers have four petals. After the end of flowering, drupes are formed from each flower, initially red, but in the process of maturation they become black, containing poisonous substances.

Rosy kerry-shaped care

Rosy kerrievid will grow well in the shade or partial shade, but nevertheless, the plant will achieve the greatest decorative effect if it is placed in a sunny place. When choosing a place for a plant in a summer cottage, give preference to the southern, southeastern and southwestern directions.

The temperate climate with early spring, not very hot summers and mild autumn is the best fit for this shrub. But in a snowless and frosty winter, the rose-shaped kerrie can partially freeze out. In the spring, you should carefully examine the plant and cut off the frozen branches, after a while the shrub will grow again and become lush and beautiful. It is recommended to mulch the soil in the trunk circle for the winter in order to protect the roots from the cold.

The shrub does not need special air humidification; it feels equally good both in dry and rainy summers.

The plant is drought tolerant, so it needs regular but moderate watering. Waterlogging and stagnation of water will be more destructive for the rosea kerriweed than a short drought. To avoid these problems, during the planting process, lay a drainage layer of gravel, expanded clay or broken brick at the bottom of the planting pit. The thickness of such a layer should be from 10 to 15 cm. The plant should be watered with previously settled or rain water, it is preferable to water it in the evening when the sun's activity subsides. If there is a sufficient amount of natural precipitation, additional watering is not required.

Rosy kerrievid is able to adapt to any conditions and survive on a wide variety of soil, whether it is poor soil on rocks or fertile nutritious soil. The only difference is that on poor soil the plant will not reach large sizes, its shoots will be thinner, the leaves are smaller, the flowering is not so abundant. But on the other hand, the root system will be stronger and more developed than that of a plant planted in nutritious fertile soil.

If the soil on your site is not particularly rich, then in the process of planting the rose, add compost or humus mixed with soil to the planting hole on top of the drainage layer.

If we talk about top dressing, then the rose-shaped kerriwort responds well to both organic and mineral fertilizers. In the spring, dig up the soil around the bush, embedding complex mineral fertilizers into the soil, and in the fall repeat the same procedure, only this time using rotted manure. In either case, the distance from the base of the bush should be at least 40 cm so that the fertilizer does not come into contact with the roots.

Rosy kerrievoid reproduction

There are two methods of reproduction of the pink rose in two ways: by sowing seeds and by rooting cuttings.

The seeds should be harvested after they are fully ripe. Before sowing, it is imperative to stratify the seeds by placing them in a refrigerator in wet sand.

It is necessary to sow seeds in a sand-peat mixture, then cover them with a transparent dome and put the greenhouse in a warm place, the air temperature should be around + 21 ... + 23 degrees. Seedlings will appear no earlier than two months later, all this time we must not forget to moisten the soil and ventilate the greenhouse. After the emergence of seedlings, the shelter can be removed, and when the seedlings get stronger and get real leaves, plant them in separate flower pots. After a year, you will be able to plant the grown bushes in a permanent place in open ground, having previously hardened them and accustomed them to fresh air.
For rooting cuttings, both green and semi-freshened shoots are suitable. The grafting process can be carried out in late spring or summer. After you dig them into the soil, the roots should appear in about 1.5-2 months. After rooting has taken place, in September it will be possible to plant the cuttings in open ground, but for the first winter it is recommended to build a good shelter from frost with a young plant.

Possible difficulties and ways to solve them

Another advantage of the rose rose is that it is practically not affected by pests and is very resistant to most diseases inherent in garden plants. The only disease that you may encounter is not infectious in nature and occurs due to waterlogging of the soil and stagnant water - the roots of the plant begin to rot. If you take care of the drainage layer during the planting process and do not abuse watering, then such problems will not arise.

In conclusion, I would like to add once again that the fruits of the rosacea are extremely poisonous. They contain cyanide and can cause respiratory arrest. Be careful!
