Caring for roses in the garden is quite a meticulous process.
Roses: growing rules
If the ground was laid with mulch in the fall, then it should be raked off. Carefully dig up the soil at the base of the roses, freeing the graft. It must be above ground level. After that, pour the earth with warm water. It is imperative to take measures to protect roses from spring frosts. Rotted manure must be put on the roots. It will also serve as nutrition for the root system of the roses. After the mulch has been removed, the roses should be pruned.
Important! Watch out if shoots appear below the grafting, they must be removed immediately, otherwise the rose bush may turn into a rose hip. Shoots can appear far from roses. They also need to be removed, since these are not roses, but rose hips.
Newly planted roses need to be watered constantly until they take root and start giving new shoots. Necessarily
loosen the ground and cover it with mulch. Mulch protects the roots from drying out.
Caring for roses in the garden in spring
So that the buds that appear on the newly planted bushes do not weaken the bush, they must be removed. In this case, the root system will form faster. We should not forget about the pests that have already appeared. It is necessary to spray the rose bushes and the ground under them. For this, any preparations based on vitriol are suitable.
Throughout the spring season, roses can be treated with tobacco or household soap solutions. In the spring it is also necessary
feed by adding ammonium nitrate or complex fertilizer to the soil. Watering with fermented mullein is possible (1:10)

The main care for roses is watering. If the soil is clay, then it is necessary to water less often, and if the soil is sandy, then it is necessary to water often. It is advisable to water with water warmed in the sun. It is necessary to ensure that the bushes are not overgrown with weeds. Conduct constant mulching so that weeds do not grow. Feed the root system with potash fertilizers in the form of chicken manure. You can pour ash in a handful under the root. Before the first flowering, the rose must be fed twice with sodium humate (half a teaspoon per twenty liters of water).
Important! Before fertilizing, water the bushes and the soil under them. This will save the root system from scalding.
It is necessary to prune roses in the summer to form a bush.

Spraying roses with herbal decoctions (horsetail, nettle, garlic, horseradish, pepper) is a preventive measure against diseases.
If the disease still manifests itself, then the shrubs should be treated with a 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide. Powdery mildew
a spider mite works well with sulfur. A decoction of hot pepper will help from caterpillars and various larvae. After each spraying
it is recommended to spray ash over the bushes.
