And in order for the rose to be healthy, give beautiful and lush flowers, it should be properly looked after. Consider how to take care of the home flower queen.

To begin with, the flower grower should know what he respects and what the flower charmer does not accept.

Rosa likes

1) Good lighting and warm (preferably the south or southeast of the dwelling, veranda or loggia);
2) nutritious and loose soil in a pot;
3) fresh, but without drafts, air;
4) generous watering during the growing season (we look when the earth dries up and water the flower);
5) weekly top dressing with specialized fertilizers during the growing season and flowering;
6) transplant into a larger pot as it grows.

Rosa doesn't like it

1) Winter period in an excessively dry and warm room;
2) low temperature irrigation water;
3) overheating in the heat;
4) if you leave wilted flowers on the bush;
5) root injuries at the time of transferring the bush to another pot;
6) mold in the pot, pests and diseases.

rose care

How to properly care for this delicate plant so that it is healthy.

Transshipment

After the purchase, do not immediately transplant the bush into a new pot. Let the plant adapt to a new place of residence, strengthen. The plant should be placed on a window to the south or southeast and watered as needed (the soil dries out - it should be watered immediately). The transshipment itself must be done on the days of lunar growth.

It is necessary to handle the bush carefully, because the rose does not accept root injuries and may wither. Water the rose bush 20-30 minutes before transplanting. Carefully remove the plant from its pot, being careful not to injure its roots. An earthen lump and fertilizer granules should not be removed from the roots. Carefully transplant the bush to a new place of residence, sprinkle with earth and loosen it. After the transshipment operation, the rose should not be watered. Put it in the place chosen for the flower a day after the transshipment procedure. For a flower, transshipment is stressful. It is not surprising that the flower can wither and lower the leaves.

With a properly carried out transshipment, if the roots are not injured, the plant will quickly move away or even not get sick. In the future, the plant should be transshipped as it grows.

Rose pot

For normal growth and a flowering appearance of a beauty, a convenient pot is needed. Should be taken plastic pot or ceramic and wash it thoroughly. Need to wash it hot water without detergent or with laundry soap 72%, as well as a brush. Rinse thoroughly and dry the pot.

The dimensions of a pot for a room rose should be taken slightly larger than the container in which it was sold. Approximately 6-9 cm higher and 3-4 cm more in diameter. The Queen of Flowers will not appreciate a pot that is too big for her. The ratio of the ground part of the flower and the future pot should be approximately 1 to 1, then, as the bush grows, it is necessary to transship into a larger pot.

Earth

Home rose loves nutritious, loose, loosened earth. Prepare a mixture for your beauty. The optimal composition is humus 4 parts, earth from turf - 4 parts, sand - 1 part. The composition should be thoroughly mixed and loosened. In the ground prepared for roses, you can add special fertilizer for flowering species or fertilizer for rose flowers. By the way, in a flower shop you can also buy a ready-made earthen composition for a flower. Soil specialized for rose species, as well as for other house plants, is suitable.

Landing technology

The pot should be thoroughly dried, if made of ceramics - fry. A layer of drainage composition (for example, expanded clay) should be laid at the bottom. If there is a drain hole in the pot, a layer of drainage composition is needed 1-2 cm. If there is no hole and it is impossible to make it, pour drainage
composition of at least 3 cm. Pour the earth mixed with fertilizers on it. Then - a layer of unenriched earth. The ratio of earthen layers - preferably in half.

root system rose bush should be carefully placed in a pot on a layer of fertilized soil. Then fill it with soil of a similar composition without fertilizers and loosen the soil in the final. The bush should stand firmly in the ground, not stagger. After transferring to a new pot, let the flower stand for a day at the site of the operation, then it can be rearranged to the place chosen for the growth of the rose.

Location

Light, sun, fresh air are good for the flower queen. Place the pot in a well-ventilated, bright place, away from air conditioning and wind blowing systems. It is good to plant it on the windowsill, on the floor next to the window, on the veranda or balcony.

top dressing

About a month after transshipment, the rose should begin to be fed. The frequency of feeding is once every two weeks. When the buds are tied - once a week, so that the bush gives abundant flowers. Feed the flower with a solution of mineral fertilizers after watering. Fertilizers are watered on the ground or the whole flower is sprayed ( special composition for the plant body). After a transplant or during a rose illness, it is absolutely impossible to feed it.

Watering

Rose loves watering plentiful, but not excessive. She also respects spraying. This procedure can be carried out twice a day. Roses should be watered according to the time of year. Water for irrigation should be taken clean, without impurities. If the water is hard or contains chlorine, it should be filtered.

In summer, the rose should be watered as the soil dries and sprayed. Water should be at room temperature. The plant should be sprayed in the evening so that drops of water on the leaves and flowers do not work like lenses and the plant does not get burned. In autumn and winter, the rose needs less moisture. Water as needed and spray 2-3 times a week. In the spring, increase the intensity of watering, but make sure that there is no overwatering so that the flower does not start to rot.

reproduction

The rose is propagated by cuttings. This procedure should be carried out in the spring, but you can also propagate the rose in the fall with cuttings left after cutting the buds. There is only one technology: cut a cutting about 15 cm long with at least two live buds. Place cuttings to root in water. After a couple of weeks, roots appear. It is better to transplant cuttings into the soil when they grow. root system and new leaves will appear. Transplanted cuttings into pots as standard.

Treatment

A rose is a beautiful plant and, contrary to the opinion about itself, is strong and does not require special conditions and reverent care. It is necessary to create conditions for a flower suitable for its life and rejoice beautiful bloom and emerald petals.

A healthy plant has juicy green leaves without painful-looking spots and damage. The leaves must be elastic, hold well on the stem and not fall off! In no case should black areas be observed on the stems! When buying, you need to take a good look at the flower: a large number of buds are approved, but they should not be open! Be sure to remove the gift wrapping and examine the leaves and stems carefully.

Most roses for sale are stored in refrigerators. Getting into a warm apartment, the plant is under stress, for acclimatization, they should be kept indoors at a temperature in the range of 15-18 ° C.

Most optimal time for buying roses - a cold time, the period from autumn to spring. It is best to purchase this houseplant in February and March. Potted roses prefer:

• the sunny side of the house; it is necessary to choose southern windows or southeast;
• enriched soil;
• free access to fresh air during the hot period;
• good watering;
• top dressing at least once a week during active growth and flowering;
• transplanting into a spacious pot from a cramped one.

Caring for a rose is not as troublesome as it seems at first glance. You just need to follow some rules. It will be good to arrange a rose immediately after purchase warm shower. This procedure will help clean the leaves from road dust, and also partially relieve them of the presence of spider mites, if any. Just in case, at first it is better to place the "newcomer" on a separate windowsill. This will help protect the rest of the plants from pests that could choose a potted rose in the store. It should be borne in mind that when selling, most roses are stored in refrigerators. Getting into a warm apartment, the plant is under great stress. In order for acclimatization to be soft and gradual, at first the temperature in the room should be maintained within 15-18 ° C.

Watering flowers with ordinary tap water room temperature, previously settled for at least a day. Watering is carried out as the soil dries up: not too often, but not rarely. Make sure that the water in the pot does not stagnate. Because of this, the root system begins to rot, which often causes the death of the plant. It would be good from time to time to spray the underside of the leaves with cold boiled water from a spray bottle. A good time to transplant is when the moon is in its growth phase. But don't delay it! Most often, a peat substrate is poured into store pots, which over time can destroy the roots. Ideal for transplanting special land for roses and chrysanthemums. Its composition is most favorable for the growth of a plant that is accustomed to soil of neutral acidity.

Transplantation should be carried out very carefully so as not to injure the root system in any case!

It is better to choose a larger pot for a rose. Experienced gardeners It is advised not to take containers less than 40 cm in diameter. A layer of drainage about 1-3 cm thick is usually poured at the bottom of the pot, and soil is poured on top. After transplantation, the plant is not watered, put in a dark and cool place for a day, and then placed on a well-lit windowsill. Roses are fed throughout the entire growth period (especially in spring and summer) in small doses, but often enough. It is best to choose special fertilizers that contain the necessary trace elements. Fertilizer can also be applied foliarly, in which the leaves of the plant are sprayed with a weak solution of fertilizer.

In winter, caring for roses is to maintain the necessary lighting for them. To do this, you need to create additional illumination for them with the help of LED and fluorescent lamps. If this is not possible, then it is better to immerse the plant in hibernation. To do this, reduce the temperature regime to + 10 ... + 15 ° С. At the same time, the metabolic processes of the plant slow down, but it does not die and tolerates winter well. During sleep, fertilizer is not applied, the frequency of watering is reduced, but a small amount of soil moisture is maintained. If the "green friend" begins to slowly dry out, do not immediately become discouraged! This often happens in the first 2-3 weeks after the acquisition, and this can already be considered a pattern. However, ensure special care the flower will still have to. As a rule, the process of wilting begins at the ends of the branches. They need to be cut to a healthy stem, not sparing the plant. After pruning, the rose sprouts young shoots from the thorns, and soon new ones form in place of the old branches. By the way, professionals advise periodically cutting the plant several times a year. This procedure contributes to the violent flowering of the bushes.

Growing roses indoors is an opportunity to admire the queen of flowers not only in the warm season, but also during the winter cold. However, the maintenance of this rather capricious plant requires compliance with certain requirements. Therefore, amateur growers should familiarize themselves with the information on how to care for a rose in a pot in order to enjoy its magnificent flowering almost all year round.

Necessary conditions for growing roses in a pot

Light and warmth are the main components of the success of growing roses indoors. Tips for caring for a rose in a pot for beginners are simply necessary, since a violation of technology has a detrimental effect on the well-being of the plant.

Placement of a rose in an apartment and lighting requirements

The rose should be placed on the southeast or east window sill. In this case, the plant will receive enough sun at any time of the year. For some varieties, only southern windows are recommended. On the western window, the light will not be enough and the rose will have to be highlighted. North rose windows are simply contraindicated.

Roses need good lighting

You can understand whether there is enough sunlight for a bush by the state of the foliage:

• When there is enough sun, the leaves become saturated color and their surface is smooth and shiny.
• Sluggish, dull leaves, with brown edges indicate an excess of ultraviolet radiation. Usually this condition is observed when the flower is kept on the south window.
• Pale, dull leaves and too small indicate a lack of sun.

AT summer period when there is too much sun, roses must be removed from the windowsill or shaded. The window can be covered with a translucent tulle or blinds can be hung on the glass so that the rays are scattered.

In autumn and winter, in cloudy weather, the lack of sun is compensated by highlighting with phyto- or fluorescent lamps. The backlight is turned on for 3-4 hours a day. If this is not done, the plant withers, does not form buds, pests appear on it.

When organizing the backlight, the lamp should be placed at a height of 30-35 centimeters above the crown of the rose. If the lamp is located lower, the rose will get burned, and if it is higher, the plant will not receive enough ultraviolet light.

Pot and soil requirements

An important attribute of growing a rose is the right pot. The condition of the plant directly depends on its size and quality. In principle, it is possible to use plastic and ceramic dishes, but still a ceramic pot is more acceptable, as it allows air to pass through.

The size of the pot is also important, as well as its shape. Experienced flower growers it is advised to choose elongated pots with a sufficiently large hole in the bottom, but not huge, so that the water does not flow out too quickly, not having time to moisten the soil.

Roses do best in ceramic pots.

The optimal shape is a truncated cone with a wide neck. Vessels in the form of a ball, oval and other exotic shapes are not acceptable. The main condition, wide top part so that moisture has sufficient area for evaporation.

Taking too large a pot, much larger than the size of the root system, is a mistake. The soil not developed by the roots of the plant will begin to turn sour when watered, and this will adversely affect the condition of the flower.

The soil for planting a home rose is chosen as water and breathable as possible. The ideal composition would be the following ingredients:

• soddy soil - 4 parts;
• sand - 1 part;
• humus - 4 parts.

You can use ready-made substrate from the store. The line of special soils on sale is quite diverse.

Soil for planting can be collected independently, or you can buy ready-made

Air humidity and temperature

The main problem of keeping a rose in an apartment is too dry air, especially during the heating period. Humidity is increased by spraying a rose, placing a flower pot on a pallet with wet expanded clay, installing artificial fountains in the room.

The recommended temperature for keeping roses is +14…+16 degrees in spring, +24…+25 degrees in summer. In winter, during the dormant period, the temperature of the flower content is + 5 ... + 8 degrees. It is during this wintering that the plant is laying flower buds.

Basic rules for caring for a rose in a pot

Caring for a room rose in a pot requires strict adherence to all recommendations. Most often, the question arises of how to care for a rose after purchase, since a plant brought from a store often dies in the first month.

Roses need careful care

It is advisable to immediately prune the shoots, leaving 4-5 buds on each. If pests are noticed, the plant is washed with warm water and treated with an insecticide. The next day, the bush is treated with a fungicide to prevent fungal diseases (, Profit).

A week later, the rose must be freed from store soil and dishes without fail.

You need to transplant the flower into a more spacious pot, filling it with a fresh, nutritious substrate. This procedure can be carried out a week after purchase: the rose must first adapt to growing in new conditions. While getting used to the conditions of the apartment, you can spray the rose with a growth stimulator, for example,.

The soil under the plant after purchase must be changed

Rose transplant rules

Before the procedure, you need to learn how to plant a rose in a pot so that it quickly takes root and starts growing. Prepare a pot for transplanting right size and forms and lay a layer of drainage (5-6 centimeters) on the bottom.

Vermiculite is added to the prepared soil mixture for looseness. To prevent root diseases, the soil is cultivated. The pink bush is watered, removed from the old pot and the roots are freed from the store soil.

Then the bush is placed in a new pot there in such a way that root neck was above the soil surface. The roots must first be straightened. In order not to injure the root system, the bush must be placed in water for half an hour. This procedure will fill the roots with moisture, and they will straighten out on their own.

After transplanting, the bush needs to create greenhouse conditions. The rose is covered with a transparent cap and kept in this state for 7-10 days. The cap is removed daily for 20-30 minutes and the rose is sprayed, and as soon as the leaves dry after spraying, the plant is again covered with a cap.

When transplanting, make sure that the root neck remains above the soil surface.

After 10 days, the plant finally takes root in a new pot, and the cap can be removed. In the future, rose transplantation into new containers with partial soil replacement is carried out annually, in early spring.

Watering rates and schedule

Roses love feeding and watering.

Proper watering and timely feeding is one of the important measures for caring for a room rose in a pot. . There are certain watering rules that must be observed:

• Watering is done with warm settled water strictly under the root.
• The water temperature depends on the season: from May to September - 18-24, from October to April - no higher than +18 degrees.
• Watering is carried out after drying the topsoil, avoiding waterlogging. Excess water that has leaked onto the tray is immediately drained.
• Frequent and poor watering for roses is not acceptable. The bush is watered abundantly in order to wet the earth ball properly. Experienced flower growers advise watering the rose well once every 7 days, flowering bush- once every 5 days.

Necessary dressing for roses

Rosa needs feeding. Since the disadvantage nutrients leads to slow growth and lack of flowering. Timely top dressing also increases the plant's immunity, helps fight pests and diseases. During the vegetative period, a room rose needs top dressing once every two weeks. The first feeding is carried out 30 days after transplantation.

For top dressing, it is necessary to alternate organic and mineral fertilizers. It is recommended to use ready-made liquid fertilizers industrial production, which are bred in water for irrigation.

Pruning roses at home

The rose bush must be cut regularly, removing dried leaves, wilted buds. Timely pruning gives the plant a neat appearance and stimulates continuous flowering.

Withered buds must be removed

In late autumn, pre-winter pruning of the bush is carried out. Each shoot is shortened by 10 centimeters. At least 4-5 buds should remain on each shoot. Shoots obtained after pruning can be rooted to get new plant specimens.

Breeding methods

The main method of propagation of room roses is cuttings. Optimal timing rooting cuttings - May-September. For rooting, lignified shoots are taken, which, with the help of a pruner, are cut into blanks of 10-15 centimeters. The top cut of the handle is made straight, the bottom cut at an angle of 45 degrees. Each cutting should have 3-4 buds.

The blanks are placed in a moistened sand mixture and covered with a glass or plastic cap. After the first leaves appear on the cuttings, the caps are removed. After 2 weeks, each cutting is planted in a separate pot of 300 ml.

Caring for a rose in a pot at different times of the year

Rosa needs to provide a period of winter dormancy

Cultivation of a room rose in different times years have features, since a plant, even grown in an apartment, obeys the general laws of nature and is affected by the change of seasons:

• spring the main event is filling the root system with moisture to awaken the rose after winter dormancy. After the appearance of the first leaves, the rose is transplanted into a new pot, watered and sprayed abundantly. To start the growth processes on warm days, the rose is taken for walks in the fresh air. The flower is first taken out in the shade, then gradually they begin to expose to the sun.
• Summer the rose is regularly watered, sprayed, sanitary pruned. The main event is pest control and disease prevention.
• autumn It's time to prepare for winter dormancy. At this time, reduce watering, stop feeding. Roses are pruned in autumn.
• in winter the rose is at rest. The question of how to care for a rose in winter arises most often among inexperienced flower growers. Due to inexperience, many flower growers continue to stimulate the development of the bush, and this negatively affects its condition. Winter maintenance requires minimal watering (every 30 days), low air temperature - no more than + 15 ... + 16 degrees.

Diseases and pests of indoor roses

Violation of the conditions for keeping a rose leads to the development of diseases and damage to the bush by pests. When roses are kept in a closed, unventilated room, diseases develop:

• Leaf spotting. It is caused by a fungus and appears as small black or dark brown spots. The cause of spotting is high humidity and impaired air exchange. The fungus gets on the leaves during watering, especially when it is carried out in violation of the rules for the leaves. Treatment of the fungus is carried out with a drug or Topsin.
• Powdery mildew. Leaves and stems are covered with a white powdery coating. The disease develops at too low temperatures. The affected parts of the plant are removed, then the bush is sprayed with a fungicide - Topaz,.

Home roses are quite often affected by powdery mildew.

A common problem of growing roses at home is pest infestation. Weakened plants at low humidity contribute to the appearance of spider mites on the bushes. The infection is indicated by the lightening of the leaves and the appearance of yellowish dots on them. In this case, the bush is washed with soapy water, and then treated with an insecticide -, Vermitek,.

The plant can also infect aphids. In this case, a sticky coating appears on the leaves, and small black dots appear on the underside. The pest control methods are the same as for the defeat of the spider mite.

Growing roses at home will require some effort from the grower, but the result is worth it. With proper care, the interior of the apartment will be decorated charming flower with a pleasant aroma.

You can get acquainted with the rules for growing roses in a flower pot in the proposed video material. Happy viewing!

For any home flower collector, growing is a challenge. Because it is quite difficult to make this marvelous flower feel good. Just as this queen of flowers is beautiful, she is also capricious. But with due perseverance and observance of a clear schedule of palace ceremonies, the rose usually remains satisfied and pleases with the flowering of a delicate color.

If the soil composition is purchased in a store, then it should be supplemented with leafy humus and rotted manure in equal parts.

Recipe self cooking mixtures:

• leaf humus - 1 part
• sod land - 1 part
• garden soil - 1 part
• sand - 1 part
• high-moor peat - 1 part
• or hydrogel

The container should have a good drainage layer and a drip tray to drain excess water. The rose does not like to keep its feet cold and damp, so the excess liquid should be removed two hours after watering. The edge of the pot should be equal to the crown of the flower, this will serve as a sign that the ideal volume has been found. When transplanting, you can not sharply increase the pot in size.

The conditions for the well-being of a blooming rose are systematic watering and regular feeding during the active phase of rose growth:

1. Watering. Regular watering is very important for the southern beauty. The liquid should be slightly warm, and must be filtered. Particular care should be taken to monitor the water temperature and the frequency of watering during the flowering period. As soon as buds begin to form on the bushes, the watering procedures should be increased in frequency. And as soon as young sticky greens appear, even more water will be required. But with the onset of the phase of sleep and rest, watering is reduced. Attention! It is impossible to allow waterlogging or drying out of an earthy coma near a rose. This has a very negative effect on her condition.
2. Loosening after watering. Important procedure. Firstly, it opens air access to the roots. Secondly, it allows you to understand whether additional moisture is required or not.
3. Top dressing. As soon as the awakening phase begins, the beauty will require a complete diet in nutrition. A balanced feed will allow the rose to: actively grow, decorate the room with long flowering and gain strength for a long active phase. Top dressing is required to be applied approximately 1 time in 10 days. Both liquid formulations and dry mixes are suitable. It is only important to properly distribute and dose the necessary bush and organic matter. An infusion of cow or goat manure will bring particular benefits to the plant. Only cow dung should be rotted for about a year before being applied, while goat dung can be used fresh. Compositions with phosphorus and potassium will not be superfluous. But it is worth noting that with the approach of autumn, feeding should be reduced, and from October it should be stopped altogether in order to allow the plant to calmly digest and absorb all the useful summer procedures and vitamins.

Pruning a rose is not only giving the flower crown an elegant shape, but also treating the plant to avoid the formation of shelters for pests among old and withered branches.

Trimming types:

• sanitary pruning - helps to get rid of old, weak and dead branches
• rejuvenating pruning - done once every few years and its goal is to free the bush from too thick "hair"
• shaping pruning - helps to preserve decorative look roses
• restraining pruning - allows you to keep the bush at the right height
• stimulating pruning - done before flowering, so that more nutrition goes to the buds

Pruning is best done after the roses start to wake up, but before the buds appear. Summer August pruning is required only for heavily flowering bushes. After the procedure, the rose is best kept in a room with a temperature regime of 10 C, this will allow the flower to slowly wake up and form new branches in place of the old ones.

If the rose has just "arrived" in new house You need to give her time to adapt. For several weeks, the flower should get used to the new conditions, and only after that it is worth starting manipulations with pruning. In principle, the pruning process is not complicated, but if there is any doubt, then you can take the flower to the florists, and they will show you how to make cuts correctly and remove unnecessary material.

At this point, it is worth focusing on:

• If an indoor rose is purchased in a store, then before transplanting it, the roots should be lowered into a biofungicide solution, however, this should be done if the rose is transferred from the garden to the house.
• The rose is taken out completely with an earthy clod, and in this state it is placed in a biofungicide solution.
• The rose requires good drainage in a pot.
• To avoid the appearance of air pockets, the rose should either be well shed after transplantation, or carefully stitched wooden stick along the edges (flashing means pushing the earth inward along the edge of the coma).
• In places of the formed voids, it is necessary to add earth.
• The first week after transplantation, the soil may settle and compact, so that the roots do not become exposed, you should carefully monitor the condition of the ground cover and top up the soil to the desired amount if necessary.
• The transplanted plant is placed in the shade for a day, and at the same time, water is no longer added and the plant is not sprayed.
• The next day, it is worth taking the plant to its habitat for a couple of hours, and then returning it to the shade.
• So the rose should get used to the new place for two days, and then finally move over.

Annual transplant:

• It is best to transplant in early spring.
• The pot should not be much larger than before.
• The earth must be fresh.

It is sad when a pet gets sick or is attacked by pests. To avoid the death of an enemy plant, you need to know in person and recognize in time:

1. Spotting, can be seen by the formation of dark spots on the foliage. It is impossible to ignore the disease, it is easier to immediately throw out the rose. Preparations containing sulfur or copper help. Yellow roses are especially susceptible.
2. Powdery mildew. A white coating on the leaves from the outside signals that trouble has happened. It is urgent to remove the damaged areas and burn or throw them into the garbage chute. Further, the pot and the rose are treated with Fundazol.
3. bacterial cancer. This is a viral and most destructive disease for rose bushes. The affected areas must not only be removed, but also disinfected. Cut shoots are dipped into the solution blue vitriol for a few minutes. Infected parts should not be thrown into the soil, the disease is dangerous and grows rapidly.
4. spider mite. This pest appears if the air in the room is too dry.

Lush rose bushes are an absolute dream come true, but in order for the aromas of roses to float at home, you need to try a little and give the Queen the honors she deserves.

Planting a room rose

Planting a room rose is not a troublesome business. It is important to know that the root system of the plant is very delicate, so it is better to transplant it by transshipment. Before planting a rose, you need to prepare a pot. A new pot needs to be soaked - pour water and leave for a day. The pot from under the old plant must be thoroughly brushed without using detergents. If there is a drainage hole in the pot, then the expanded clay layer can be no more than 1 cm, if not, then 3 cm.

Landing methods

Optimal landing time

The best time to plant indoor roses is from May to September.

Soil for the plant (Soil composition)

A rose in a pot needs a nutritious, breathable soil. Best to use ready soil by buying it in the store. Optimal composition soil for the plant - turf and humus soil, sand in proportions of 4: 4: 1, respectively. Loosening the soil is not recommended because of the danger of damaging the roots. Rose prefers neutral soil.

Features of caring for a room rose at home

There are some features in the care that are specific to this houseplant.

Location and lighting for the plant

Rosa needs fresh air, so the ideal location for her is a balcony or garden bed in the summer (you can take her with you to the country house if you spend the whole summer there). However, it is not recommended to leave her unattended, because she needs frequent watering summer during flowering.

At home, it is best to put a rose in the southeast or south side because she likes a lot of light. In autumn, when daylight is short, she needs to turn on additional lighting from a fluorescent lamp. This is done to prolong the flowering period.

In winter, during the dormant period, the comfortable temperature for the rose is +10 - +12 degrees. If it is possible to put her on a glazed loggia or balcony, she will have a good rest. Room winter temperature is not very suitable for her. If it is not possible to keep the flower at a low temperature, it should be protected as much as possible from the heat of the batteries and dry air.

It is advisable to turn a pot with a miniature room rose from time to time towards the light in different directions.

Important! If the rose hibernates on a glazed loggia, in order to avoid freezing of the soil, the pot with the plant can be placed in a box and sprinkle sawdust around it.

Air humidity

Indoor mini roses need high humidity. When they are outdoors (on the balcony or in the garden) additional moisture is not required. In winter, if the rose is in the room, it is better to keep the pot with it in a tray with wet pebbles.

Rosa needs weekly water procedures in the form of a spray. If the room is cool in winter, it is better not to spray the rose. If the air is too dry and warm, spraying should be done 1-2 times a week, even in winter.

In no case do not spray the rose during the day in hot summer weather.

Important! In a dry atmosphere, pests may appear on the flower.

Temperature regime for a flower

The most comfortable temperature for a rose in the summer is +14 - +25 degrees. In winter, the rose needs coolness - no higher than +15 degrees.

How to water properly

Indoor rose does not tolerate both drying out and excessive watering. In summer, when the rose blooms, watering is necessary 2 times a day - in the morning and in the evening. It is necessary to water with settled water at room temperature.

In autumn, when the rose sheds its leaves, watering should be reduced to 1 time per week if the rose hibernates on the balcony. If it is in a room at a fairly high temperature, it should be watered as the top layer of soil dries.

You can alternate top and bottom watering (watering the soil and filling the pan). In any case, excess water from the pan must be drained to prevent root rot.

In the spring, as the plant awakens, watering should be gradually increased.

Feeding and fertilizing the rose flower

Due to the long flowering, the rose loses its strength and needs to be fertilized by the soil. They begin to feed her towards the end of February 1 time in 10 days. It is recommended to alternate mineral fertilizers with organic ones.

If you just transplanted a flower into fresh soil, you do not need to fertilize it.

Important! Before fertilizing, the flower must be watered with warm water.

How to prune an indoor rose?

Pruning a mini rose is necessary in order to stimulate the ovary. During the flowering period, be sure to cut the wilted flowers as short as possible.

The flower is routinely pruned in the fall as preparation for a dormant period. You can also do this in the spring.

Trimming methods

Pruning must be done with a sharp tool so that there are no torn parts left on the branch, this can lead to the death of the entire plant. Branches are cut to healthy tissue, above the bud, which is facing outward. An oblique cut is made about five millimeters above the kidney.

It is necessary to remove all weak or dry shoots, as well as those that do not have an upper bud. When weaving two shoots, one of them is removed. If, after pruning, two stems appear from one kidney, the excess must be cut off.

Important! Should not be carried out spring pruning until at least 10-hour daylight hours come, otherwise the young shoots will not be able to fully develop.

Transplanting a home rose

A rose needs a transplant in two cases - after purchase and as the plant grows.

Transplant methods

After the purchase

Before transplanting a rose after purchase, it needs to be allowed to adapt. You don't have to touch it for two weeks. First, the flower itself is prepared. A pot with a rose is placed in water, so it needs to stand for about half an hour. Then the rose needs to be bathed with a contrast shower ( hot water no higher than 40 degrees). After bathing, a greenhouse is made from a plastic bag so that it does not touch the leaves (the edges of the bag can be pinned to the ground). The greenhouse needs to be ventilated daily. The rose will be ready for transplanting when the flowers begin to wilt. They need to be removed, and the plant can be transplanted.

Immediately before planting, the flower must be removed from the pot and its roots immersed in warm water to wash off the remnants of the chemicals that the rose was fed in the greenhouse. Soak the ceramic pot in water for a day.

Drainage is placed at the bottom of the pot, then a layer of soil. The plant is placed in a pot and covered with earth so that it is tightly packed. The size of the pot should be slightly wider and higher than the previous capacity.

As needed

The rose does not like to be disturbed, so an annual repotting is not required, unless the pot becomes too small for her. New dishes for roses are prepared in the same way - cleaned and soaked. A pot of roses is placed in a container of water for 30 minutes, so that the earthen lump is easier to separate from the pot. Next, the flower is simply transferred to a new pot and a fresh substrate is poured, tamping it around the flower.

After transplanting, the flower does not need to be watered, but it is better to put it in a shady place. Later, you can move it to a permanent, well-lit place.

Important! Top dressing should be started no earlier than a month after transplantation.

Reproduction of a room rose. Reproduction method

You can propagate indoor rose cuttings. The stalk is cut with a sharp knife, its length should be no more than 10 cm. It is better to treat the tool with a solution of potassium permanganate or alcohol. The cut should be oblique, right under the kidney, so the cutting will take root better. The upper cut is made 5 mm above the kidney. It is better to remove the leaves from the bottom of the cutting. There are two options for cutting a room rose:

Soil

Cuttings can be briefly placed in water with the addition of heteroauxin (14 tablets per glass of water). After 10 hours, the cuttings are planted in a mixture of sand and peat, you can just in the sand. Then they create greenhouse conditions with the help of a film or a cut water bottle. You do not need to water much so that the cuttings do not start to rot. The temperature should be at least +18 degrees, direct sunlight should be excluded from them.

The cuttings will take root in about a month, after which they can be opened so that they adapt to drier air, and then transplanted into separate containers

Water

The cuttings must also be prepared, only their length should be about 15 cm. Then they are placed in a jar or glass of water, covered with a cardboard lid with holes into which the cuttings are inserted. The lower part should be immersed in water by 1.5-2 cm. If the humidity is too low, the cuttings should be sprayed. You can transplant them into pots when the roots grow by 1-1.5 cm and begin to branch well.

Important! For good rooting and development of cuttings, they need at least 15 hours of daylight.

Flowering room rose

Subject to all the rules for caring for a room rose, it will bloom from late spring to autumn. If faded buds are removed in a timely manner, the rose will bloom continuously during this period. To keep the pots from overheating in the sun, they can be wrapped in white paper.

When the plant blooms (flowering period), flower shape

In the spring, the rose begins an active growing season, and then it blooms. The flowers can be of a wide variety of colors - from amazing tea to maroon. The flowers are much smaller than the garden rose familiar to us.

Plant care after flowering

At the end of flowering, the rose needs pruning and preparation for rest. If the roses were in the fresh air, they should be brought into the room as soon as the temperature begins to fall below +12 degrees. After pruning, gradually reduce watering and stop feeding.

Problems, diseases and pests in a flower

Problems in a room rose can arise due to improper care. The reason for the lack of flowering may be:

• malnutrition
• Increased soil acidity
• lack of lighting
• Wrong transplant
• drafts

Of the diseases, the rose can be affected by chlorosis, which is treated with iron chelate. The yellowing of the plant indicates the defeat of its fungus. In this case, you need to treat the rose with a fungicide.

The same must be done with powdery mildew (white bloom on a rose).

Of the pests, a room rose is most often affected by a spider mite (a thin web appears between the leaves). Spider mite on a room rose can lead to viral diseases. You need to treat the flower with preparations "Apollo" or "Fitoverm".

Thrips or aphids on indoor roses are no less of a threat. They infect buds and leaves, deforming them. It is treated with insecticidal preparations for indoor plants.

Common types

bengal rose

This is perhaps the most common variety of indoor roses. The Bengal rose is absolutely unpretentious, it differs in that it does not shed its leaves after flowering. The flowers are odorless. Does not require pruning, except for dried or diseased branches.

miniature rose

Bushes no higher than 30 cm, flowers are collected in inflorescences and have a delicate aroma. Flowers can be white to black. Differs in abundant flowering and does not need pruning.

Baby Carnival

Abundant flowering is characteristic, great for both rooms and for decorating garden borders. This yellow indoor rose is invariably loved by flower growers.

pixie

This variety is distinguished by two-color double flowers - white with a pink center. Blooms profusely and for a long time, reaching a height of only 20 cm.

Eleanor

More common in the south. Bushes 30 cm tall are strewn with coral-colored flowers. The flowers themselves are collected in inflorescences of 10-15 pieces.

As a side note, do not confuse miniature indoor roses with Chinese indoor roses. The latter has nothing to do with roses and is called hibiscus.

Several Yet useful tips to care for a beautiful rose:

• Remember, a rose will be bad both in a too cramped and in a very spacious pot. When transplanting, take a slightly larger container than before, and when planting, consistently increase the size of the pot
• When planting and transplanting, special granules can be added to the substrate, which will prevent the roots from rotting and rotting.
• The smaller the pot, the more often the rose should be watered (the soil dries out faster in a small pot).

Answers to questions from readers

plant life span

This plant is a perennial and with good care lives for a long time.

Is this flower poisonous?

Indoor rose is not a poisonous plant.

Why doesn't the rose bloom?

In the previous chapters, situations were described when a rose stops blooming or does not bloom at all. This may be due to a violation of the content of the plant, as well as the effects of pests. It is necessary to examine the flower. If pests are not observed, you need to change some care parameters and observe the plant.

Why does an indoor rose dry (fade)?

If the plant wilts and the buds fall off, then it does not have enough watering. If this continues with normal watering, look for signs of disease or pests.

How does the plant overwinter?

The best wintering for a room rose will be a balcony with a temperature not higher than +15 degrees. This is a dormant period for the plant, so minimal watering is required and top dressing is needed.

Who can resist the charm of delicate rosebuds? Certainly not enthusiastic flower growers!

Therefore, every flower lover must have a rose in a pot in his home collection.

Very often the purchase of a rose is spontaneous. Still, because in the store they look very attractive. Indoor roses are often given to women who love flowers.

In any case, if you purchased a rose or received it as a gift, our article will definitely come in handy.

How to save an indoor rose after purchase

A rose is a difficult flower for home maintenance, it is quite demanding and capricious. It is not enough to become the happy owner of this beauty, it is also necessary to save the flower and find an approach to it, otherwise the sad consequences will not keep you waiting.

Yes exactly. The purchased plant usually looks fresh and full of energy, blooms amazingly and it seems that it will always be like this.

In fact, the plants come to the counter fed with all kinds of stimulants, in addition, they have a special package that saves high humidity. Getting on our windowsill, roses are deprived of all this.

Almost immediately, inexperienced flower growers have problems: roses begin to turn yellow, their leaves dry and fly around, the buds fall off and turn black. Rosette orders to live long and disappears, leaving behind nothing but frustration.

It should be noted that the rose is considered a plant open ground. Some varieties are more suited to indoor living than others. But this does not mean that keeping them in an apartment is an easy task.

When purchasing a room rose, after the purchase, it is simply necessary to take a set of rescue measures, even if the plant looks healthy and strong. Trust me, it won't be long!

So, what are the steps to take when you brought a rose home:

1. Remove packing wrap, if present. Although the packaging helps to retain moisture, but because of it, the rose is often affected by fungal diseases even in the store, because. packaging interferes with air exchange, creating an ideal environment for fungi.
2. Remove with secateurs or scissors all wilted leaves, blackened and dried stems that are on the plant.
3. Flowers and buds also need to be cut. Of course, for the sake of them we acquire a plant and we would like to admire them to our heart's content, but the plant, whose flowering was stimulated by special preparations and greenhouse care, subsequently simply cannot withstand such abundant flowering, and having given it all its strength, dies. Therefore, we cut off all the flowers and buds that are present on the plant, along with the supporting stem.
4. Pay attention to the number of bushes in the pot. Growers of indoor roses often plant several plants in one pot to create the appearance of a lush flowering bush. Crowded plants weaken each other, nutrients are not enough. Bushes, if there are several, must be planted in different pots.
5. After transplantation, it is necessary to process the rose antifungal drugs(Fitosporin) and pesticides (Fitoverm).

Transplanting a room rose

To transplant a rose, take it out of the old pot along with an earthy clod. Assess the condition of the roots braiding the ground.

If the roots are as thin as hair, brown or blackened, dry or rotten, the plant is likely to die. You can make an attempt to save him: cut the cuttings and try to root them.

Healthy roots are bright white or yellowish in color and look quite dense, like a thin wire. If the roots have disappeared only partially, you need to remove all rotten and damaged ones, leaving healthy ones.

Pour expanded clay or other drainage at the bottom of the new pot.

It is better to purchase a soil mixture ready for roses or garden. Do not take cheap soil, it has a lot of peat and few nutrients. It is better to choose a better soil mixture.

You can make the soil mixture yourself by taking: 1 part of humus + 1 part of leafy soil + 1 part of coniferous soil + 3 parts of soddy soil + 1 part of sand.

Fill the drainage with earth, compact a little. Place the rose bush together with the earthy clod, fill it with new earth, periodically compacting it so that the bush does not hang out in the pot, but is well fixed. Pour settled or filtered water at room temperature.

Treatment for diseases and pests is essential. A cut and transplanted plant is weakened and susceptible to disease, even if it was well cared for in the store and there was no infection. Therefore, it is better to play it safe and process it.

Also, after transplantation, treatment with Epin is effective - it will strengthen the plant's immunity and reduce transplant stress.

Spray your plant, it needs high humidity, especially in conditions of working heating and dry air of the apartment. If the rose is very small and weak, then the pot can be covered with a bottle (with small holes) on top, creating a greenhouse, and only then gradually accustom the rose to the apartment air.

Room rose care

Lighting

Rose is a photophilous plant. For her well-being, she needs a lot of light. South windows are very good for growing. On the other cardinal points in winter, lighting will be required.

Temperature

The optimum temperature for growing indoor roses is 18-25 degrees. Since the rose is an open ground plant, she loves fresh air very much and she needs it for full growth. In summer, the rose can be taken out into the garden or onto the balcony. The rest of the time you need to organize ventilation, while avoiding drafts that are harmful to roses.

Watering

Homemade rose is watered with settled water at room temperature. Cold water is bad for them. The rose will be grateful for regular spraying as in summer heat, as well as in winter heating season. If the rosette is near the battery, then it is better to put it in a tray with wet expanded clay.

fertilizers

Rose is fed complex fertilizers for roses from spring to winter once every 2-3 weeks, gradually reducing the frequency of top dressing in autumn.

reproduction

Indoor rose is propagated by cuttings. For this, cuttings up to 15 cm long, with several buds, are suitable. They are rooted in the ground, covered with a bottle or bag on top. To do this, you can take small cups for seedlings.

Roots appear in about 2 weeks. The greenhouse can be gradually removed after the appearance of new leaves. It is possible to transplant rooted cuttings only when the root system develops well.

pruning

Roses periodically require pruning to form a bush. It is best to produce it in the spring. Branches that have elongated during the winter, faded flowers, weak and dry branches are removed.

Diseases and pests of indoor roses

Problems and their solution:

The rose dries

Especially often this problem occurs in summer and winter. On hot days, the rose evaporates a lot of moisture, you need to closely monitor the soil moisture, preventing it from completely drying out, and spray it regularly. In winter, due to heating appliances, the air humidity tends to zero, the plant begins to experience a lack of humidity.

The rosette dries up in the following cases:

• the root system is damaged or dead and the rose cannot absorb moisture and nutrients
• insufficient watering and humidity
• very dry indoor air
• a rose stands near the heating appliances

If you notice that your rose leaves have begun to dry, do not wait to continue, but take measures to save the flower. First of all, you need to check the soil in the pot, if it is dry, water it. It is also recommended to remove the plant from central heating radiators. Put the rose in a tray with wet expanded clay and spray more often. If the rose bush is small, then you can cover it with a bag or bottle until the plant returns to normal.

If these measures do not help, remove the plant from the pot and see what condition the roots are in. If they are dry and brittle, darkened, then the flower is threatened with death, and all that remains is to take cuttings from it. Because if the roots of the plant have dried up due to rare watering, or for other reasons (sometimes they are already like this from the store) and died, then there is no way to restore them.

Rose leaves turn yellow

Why leaves may turn yellow:

• excessive watering, the roots do not have enough air
• nutrient-poor soil: lack of nitrogen, potassium, manganese, phosphorus
• iron deficiency (chlorosis)
• putrefactive processes in the root system
• pests

If your rose turns yellow, first of all pay attention to watering, if it is too frequent. What kind of potting soil? Doesn't it resemble swamps? In this case, watering should be reduced, leave only spraying for a while.

If after the purchase you have not yet transplanted a rose, then do it urgently. The land in which they are sold is very poor in nutrients. Either the soil in which you transplanted the plant was not best quality, this also happens.

You can try to feed the rose with complex fertilizers for flowers, preferably specifically for roses. Favorite fertilizers: Greenworld and Bona Forte for roses.

If top dressing helps weakly and only for a while, then it is worth transplanting the plant into a more nutrient soil. You should not transplant a rose into the ground from the garden.

If you find chlorosis in a rose - this is a characteristic yellowing of the leaves, then this indicates a lack of iron. Feed the rose with Iron Chelate or Ferrovit according to the instructions.

rose chlorosis

If the rose was flooded for a long time (perhaps it happened back in the store + a fungus often joins from high humidity), then its root system could rot. If the roots look black or brown, easily crushed with a finger, then they are rotten and cannot be restored. If part of the roots is healthy, then the rotten roots must be removed, the flower should be transplanted into a pot with good drainage and no longer poured.

Water the rose only with water at room temperature. Strongly cold water poorly dissolves the nutrients that are contained in the earth and the plant does not receive them. It also contributes to the decay of the roots, a decrease in the immunity of the plant and increases the susceptibility to disease.

Roses darken, wither, leaves fall

Leaf drop may be due to dryness (see Rose dries above). If the leaves do not dry, but wither and fall, then this may be for the following reasons:

• the rose is frozen (draft, airing in winter, if the wind blew on it, etc.)
• pouring cold water
• fungal diseases
• viral diseases
• pests

dark, wilted leaves and shoots need to be cut. If the rose is frozen, then gradually it will move away by itself, dropping frostbitten leaves.

How to recognize fungal diseases? Blackening or graying, covered with bloom, stems, all kinds of growths and plaques, spots on the leaves, “rust” of roses, powdery mildew are a sign of fungal diseases. From them we produce the treatment with Fitosporin according to the instructions.

How to recognize viral diseases? Leaf color change, mosaic, shape deformation sheet plate- signs of a viral disease. Viral diseases are treated by removing damaged shoots and improving the conditions of the plant and increasing its immunity.

How to recognize a pest? Often the consequences of the actions of malicious insects are visible visually. There are either pests themselves on the leaves, they can be very small, multi-colored and transparent, but still if you look closely, you will see how they move, or traces of their vital activity - spots on the leaves eaten away by spots, paths, black dots, cobwebs (when infected spider mite). Roses are generally very fond of ticks, aphids, thrips and other pests; in the summer, treatment with drugs against them is strictly required, even if you do not see them. In this case, we use the drug Fitoverm according to the instructions.

Still, it is worth remembering that no matter how hard you try to create greenhouse conditions inside the apartment, the rose may not appreciate it, and it is best to plant it in the garden, where it will definitely feel at home.

A home rose growing in a pot looks no less attractive than a garden one. But indoor varieties require increased attention. In order for a flower from a store to grow and develop correctly at home, not to get sick, it needs to create certain conditions. All the features of the content of such a plant after purchase will be discussed in the article.

Varieties of home rose

Homemade white rose looks gentle, elegant, exudes a pleasant aroma. Before buying such a plant, you need to decide on the type. After all, for home cultivation they use different varieties. Photos and videos of some species will be presented below.

The most popular among flower growers are such options for indoor varieties:

1. Miniature potted species. These include varieties GreenIce, Apricot, Stars'n'Stripes, Lavender Jewel, Mandarin, Hi-Ho.
2. Repairing.
3. Hybrid tea. This includes Peer Gynt, Nostalgie, Gloria Dei, Monika, Prima Ballerina, Apricot Silk, Pascali.
4. Ground cover. These are the varieties Meillandecor, The Fairy, Magic and Alba.
5. Bengal. The most commonly grown are Pink Grotendors and Ophelia.

If the grower plans to cultivate a tree in the apartment and dwarf varieties garden roses, you should choose own-rooted bushes. After all, plants grafted onto wild rose will not grow at home.

What to do with a flower after purchase?

The stores offer a wide range of roses. Flowers are sold in containers. Often, some time after the purchase, the plant begins to wither, dry and die, and the leaves turn yellow and fall off.

After that, it is important that the plant adapts to the new conditions. To do this, it is recommended not to touch it for several days. And then they start transplanting. How to properly breed and root a flower with a cutting in the country?

How to transplant a rose?

Transplanting will require a fertile substrate, small stones or sand, drainage material, vermiculite, a flowerpot and stimulants for adaptation.

Some experts advise washing root zone, removing all the soil, and then soaking in a stimulating solution. Others argue that such a procedure is not mandatory and that it is enough just to sprinkle the flower and leaves with special compounds.

The substrate and soil is better to buy in the store. But if this is not possible, you can prepare the soil mixture yourself. To do this, take turf, humus soil and coarse sand in a ratio of 1: 1: 0.5. To protect against diseases, it is recommended to add phytosporin in the form of a powder to the soil.

Drainage is placed at the bottom of the pot. Top layer of substrate. Put the plant and sprinkle with earth. To create greenhouse conditions, the flower is covered plastic bag or bank. Under such a shelter, a home garden rose should stay for 10 days. At the same time, it is recommended to carry out airing every day, removing the jar or bag for a while.

Every week the flower needs to be treated with stimulants. In the future, transplantation at home is carried out every year. As the plant grows in size, it is better to choose containers 2-3 centimeters larger in diameter than previous pots.

What conditions of detention are required?

Since the domestic Chinese rose is not a tropical plant, it needs moderate conditions. In summer, the temperature in the room should be low (from +20 to +25 degrees), and in winter you can keep it cool (+10-15 degrees). Overheating and low humidity have a detrimental effect on the Chinese rose.

Experts recommend placing hibiscus pots in the apartment on the western or southeastern windows. The plant is photophilous, but it must be protected from direct sunlight. In summer, it is better to take a flowerpot with a large Chinese rose to the terrace or balcony. The soil should be used moisture and breathable. Drainage holes should be made in the pot.

How to care for a rose?

To grow a beautiful home spray rose, it is necessary to provide her proper care. The plant loves good watering, periodic top dressing and timely pruning. It is important to regularly inspect the flower for pests and diseases. You can read more about caring for roses at home here.

Features of home care are listed below:

1. Watering. Irrigation should be moderate. Frequency and abundance depend on the microclimate in the room. Do not allow drying and souring of the soil. In autumn and winter, it is better to reduce watering.
2. top dressing. Fertilize in the summer and spring season. The frequency is once every two weeks. It is better to alternate organic and mineral mixtures. Nutrients must be dissolved in water before application. On cold and cloudy days, top dressing is prohibited.
3. Pruning. The essence of the procedure is to remove dried and yellowed leaves, wilted and faded buds. Pruning promotes more lush and early budding, gives a well-groomed appearance to the plant. Flowers must be cut to the first leaf and bud. All weak shoots and parts are removed. In autumn, the stems are shortened to a height of 10 centimeters.

Some are trying to grow an indoor spray rose by analogy with a garden one. This is a gross mistake. After all home rose cordana has a number of features and requires certain care at different times of the year.

Spring flower care

With the onset of spring, climbing roses have new branches and leaves. From this moment, they begin to irrigate abundantly and apply mineral fertilizers to wake her up. In the evening, it is good to spray the flower with cool water from a spray bottle. If the bush has grown strongly, it is transferred to a more spacious pot. When the threat of frost has passed, the container is transferred to the balcony or garden. First put in the shade, and after two weeks - in a sunny area.

Summer rose care

During this period, it is necessary to organize regular watering and spraying. Nutrients should be added periodically. All dried parts of the plant must be removed. In hot weather, you need to monitor the condition park rose. It is important to notice the signs of pests and diseases in time. In order for the flower to be evenly lit, the pot must sometimes be rotated.

Autumn plant care

If at night the temperature drops to +15 degrees, the rose must be moved from the balcony to the room and placed on the windowsill of the south window. After flowering is complete, they begin to prepare the plant for winter. For this purpose, pruning is performed, leaving 5 buds on each shoot. Leaves do not need to be shaped or cut.

Winter flower care

The essence of care in winter is a rare spraying and watering of roses. Irrigation is carried out only three days after the substrate in the pot is completely dry. The temperature in the room should not exceed +17 degrees. Therefore, it is necessary to place the pot away from electrical appliances and heating equipment.

In apartments and houses with central heating, protection against overheating should be built for the flower. To do this, the plant is placed between the frames. The flowerpot is best placed on a stand with wet gravel or pebbles.

What are the problems in cultivation?

If you do not follow the watering regimen, the flower can be affected by fungal infections. Humid, cold and stagnant air are good conditions for the development of powdery mildew. At the same time, the leaves become covered with a whitish bloom, wither and fall off. To combat the disease, solutions of fungicide, copper sulfate or colloidal sulfur are used. Another fungal disease is rust. It appears as red-brown spots on the leaves. Infected bushes begin to develop poorly. The plant should be treated with iron sulphate, Bordeaux liquid, copper oxychloride.

Often there is black spotting. The fact that the flower dies and is affected by such a disease is indicated by multiple brown-black spots on the leaves. The disease usually appears when waterlogging and nutrient deficiency in the substrate. To rid the rose of spotting, the damaged parts are cut off, and the plant is treated with copper-containing products.

Many flower growers are faced with the fact that the leaves of the Bengal rose turn yellow, dry and fall off. What to do? The reasons for this condition may be:

• Diseases.
• Pests.
• Deficiency of potassium, iron.
• Too much fertilizer.
• Natural aging of the plant.
• drafts.
• Bright lighting.
• Low humidity.
• Wrong watering.

If preventive maintenance is carried out in a timely manner, and the Bourbon rose is properly cared for, no problems will arise.

Thus, a homemade rose in a pot is a decoration of the apartment. The plant is easy to maintain. But in order for the flower to grow well, it needs to be properly looked after. It is important to constantly inspect for the presence of diseases, pests and, if necessary, take measures for treatment and protection.

Room rose. Among the variety of home flora, she, like her garden version, rightfully bears the name of the queen. The flower manages to maintain a leading position in popularity thanks to its unique aroma, variety color solution and the beauty of lacy leaves.

Queens of flowers small size are included in the capricious category. However, such a statement is not a reason to refuse to grow a flower in an apartment. One has only to know the rules and subtleties of care, which is very different from what characterizes the agricultural technology of garden beauties.

Miniature queens get into apartments as gifts or purchases, and also thanks to the enthusiasm of flower growers, who strive not only to have a beautiful plant, but also to increase the number of potted representatives on their own windowsills.

Rose purchased: save

Home Care for the Queen

Speaking of southern belle, any person, first of all, has in mind a delightful, luxuriantly flowering bush or large fragrant flowers. A rose in a pot cannot initially be large, but the duration and abundance of flowering is the result of the skill and diligence of the grower. And the following criteria are the components of success:

• the presence of sufficient free space;
• optimal humidity and acceptable temperature of the content;
• compliance with the rules for moistening the earthen coma;
• timeliness of tillage and the plant itself;
• prevention of diseases and the spread of pests.

Properly organized wintering of the flower will allow you to admire bright greenery and numerous buds in early spring.

Before thinking about wintering, remember that traditionally on the shelves of flower shops are placed miniature specimens of a flower imported from foreign greenhouses. For cultivation for sale and long-term preservation presentation flowers are fed with growth and flowering stimulants, which negatively affects the life expectancy of asthenia outside greenhouse conditions.

Having acquired such a copy, it is worth taking care of its preservation in the changed conditions. To do this, as noted above, the plant must be transplanted into a large container with fresh earth and all buds removed, and not only the inflorescences, but also part of the stem are removed. New shoots that have appeared at the place of pruning are also pinched. And only after that the possibility of flowering of the home beauty is allowed.

To maintain compact volumes of the rose bush in the period preceding the start of active bud growth, that is, in early spring, formative pruning is carried out.

reproduction

To increase the population of a miniature version of the queen of flowers, vegetative way breeding. The main material is the branches left after pruning. Their length should not exceed 15 cm, no more than 4 buds are left on the stem.

In order for the cuttings to take root, they are placed in water with a dissolved tablet. activated carbon or a mixture of sand and peat. Another option that can help the cuttings take root is the treatment of twigs with Kornevin or infusion. willow branches. It is worth waiting for the appearance of roots no earlier than 14-20 days, after which the seedlings are planted in separate containers.

If a sand-peat substrate was used to root the branches, then the cuttings must be placed in an impromptu greenhouse. The development of the root system is evidenced by the beginning of the appearance of new foliage. The period of adaptation of the seedling to room conditions should be gradual.

Transfer

A purchased plant must undergo adaptation to new conditions before being transplanted into a new container larger than the shipping pot and in height and diameter by approximately 5 and 3 cm, respectively. How to transplant a flower without damaging it? Preliminary moistening of the soil will help to remove the plant from the pot.

In a new container, it is necessary to lay a layer of drainage, which is covered on top with a small amount of fresh earthen mixture. A plant moved with an earthen clod should stand tightly in a pot, which is ensured by a uniform volume of soil poured along the edges of the new container. The transplanted flower must be placed in partial shade for several days, and then moved to the place allotted for it. Humidification should be moderate, under the root. Spraying is welcome.

Top dressing begins no earlier than a month after the transplant. Mineral fertilizers are recommended, the solution of which is used twice a month for root and foliar top dressing.

The right growing conditions

Despite the well-established opinion about the capriciousness of a miniature beauty, even beginners can refuse questions about how to care for a rose, subject to the initial organization of acceptable flower conditions. The focus is on the following options:

Light mode.	There should be a lot of light. However, constant exposure to direct sunlight leads to the rapid opening of inflorescences and falling buds. To ensure sufficient lighting in winter and in apartments with insufficient access to sunlight, it is recommended to install special phytolamps, the spectrum of which covers the red and blue range.
Air humidity.	Low humidity is the main enemy of lush flowering and flower lifespan. In hot summer weather and in the stuffy atmosphere of apartments during the heating period, it is desirable to provide constant, plentiful spraying (twice a day) and fresh air. Constant humidity can be ensured by placing a flower pot in a tray with wet claydite.
Watering.	In the summer, it should be plentiful. At the end of the summer, it is worth considering where to put the rose in the apartment for the autumn-winter period (in winter, cool rooms or places away from the batteries are chosen) and take care of reducing the amount of moistening of the earthen clod. Excess water from the pan should be removed. Waterlogging or overdrying of the earth leads to the death of the flower. Water should be separated and warm.
Temperature regime.	Indoor flower should be protected from overheating, leading to the development of various diseases.
Top dressing.	The process is carried out after moistening the earth twice a month with organic and mineral fertilizers specially designed for the queen of flowers. Requires alternating dressings. During the dormant period, fertilizers are excluded.
Pruning.	The question of how to cut a rose correctly is simple. Events are organized in autumn. Flower shoots are shortened so that only 5 buds remain. Weak and thin branches are subject to removal.
Peace.	This period begins from the moment the last flower falls and continues until February. For a complete “rest”, a temperature within 4-6ºC is required (maximum allowable temperature is 10-14ºC). At the end of winter, the temperature of the content is increased to 15-18ºC.
