How to care for a home rose?

Roses are considered capricious plants, prone to many diseases. They can dry out for no apparent reason and constantly need to be fed and home care.

Without exception, all roses love sunlight and die in the shade, for them the sun's rays are vital. Therefore, after the purchase, you need to put the rose in the brightest place.

But everything should be in moderation. In hot weather, do not leave the bush in the sun. During this period, its rays are especially dangerous and the plant can not only receive physical damage, but also get sick. You should protect the flower with an umbrella, screen, blinds, or simply rearrange it to another place.

Like many plants, the rose does not like drafts and wind. If the rose is nurtured and grows on outdoors, then you should play it safe, and tie up a bush or put supports for it. This is done so that the fragile branches of the flower do not break under strong winds.

You need to water the rose abundantly, but keeping a sense of proportion, not creating puddles on the soil and not leaving the flower in a humid environment for long time- this is detrimental to him. In summer, you need to water the flower more often, in winter - less often, and be sure - warm water. The roots of the flower do not like cold water, as a result of such watering, the rose can get sick.

Dried shoots, dry leaves or signs of disease in any part of the bush must be neutralized immediately - feel free to cut off the lesions. This favorably affects the bush and prevents the disease from spreading. As it grows, you should periodically trim the bush.

Top dressing is a very important component in caring for a rose. In order to see the lush color of the bush, you need to constantly feed it from February to October. There are a lot of special dressings for roses. The most convenient option is soluble mixtures. They last for quite a long time and they are cheap.

After two hours from the moment of watering the rose, it is necessary to loosen the earth. This is done for two reasons: the first - it allows the roots of the plant to breathe, the second - does not allow the formation of a film that prevents water from entering the roots.

On the winter period the rose must be brought into warm place if previously it was on the street (on the balcony, for example). You need to put the flower in light, as much as possible sunny place. If there is a window sill with lamps sunlight, it's absolutely wonderful.

In winter, the rose begins to shed its leaves - this is how it prepares for rest. No need to feed and in every possible way stimulate the growth of the plant. During this period, you need to cut it off, leaving a few green leaves, and put it in a warm sunny place. In the spring, she will again start up twigs, leaves and bloom in lush color.

Easily propagated by cuttings in the spring and summer, already on the 4th-5th day the cuttings in the water, sprout roots. It tolerates winter well in a home climate.

These simple rules for caring for roses will give an excellent result - indoor flower will bloom intensively throughout the year and delight all households.

When buying a charming indoor rose in a store, I want it to remain such a beauty for a long time. But often these hopes are not justified, the flower begins to wither and dies.

The reason lies in not proper care behind a room rose. This capricious beauty requires special attention, and in city apartments it is quite difficult to create the necessary conditions. But you can learn a lot, including caring for this miniature rose.

IN flower shops mini roses are found in a variety of colors, their only drawback is the lack of aroma. Having acquired a flower, you immediately want to transplant it into a beautiful pot, but you should not do this, because the plant is already experiencing stress by changing its place of residence, and it needs adaptation to new conditions. It is better to put it on the southeast or south window and watch it for 10-14 days. If the condition of the rose has not worsened, then it can be transplanted.

Many people dream of having a room rose. Such a flower always attracts attention, attracts with its aroma and beauty.

Preparing pots and soil

So that the soil in the pot does not dry out quickly, it is better to choose a glazed ceramic or plastic container for the rose. Optimum diameter pot 12-15 cm, in such a pot a miniature rose looks the most advantageous.

At the bottom, drainage from expanded clay or foam plastic of 1 cm is necessary when drainer absent, its thickness is increased to 4 cm. The soil should be loose and rich in organic matter. Use ready-made store soil or mix garden soil, peat, rotted manure and sand in equal proportions.

To protect the pot from heating, you can cover it with white paper, bent at the height of the pot and cut out near the basal part.

Transplant rules

It is not worth transplanting a rose into a large pot in the hope that the bush will grow even more magnificent; she, on the contrary, will begin to bloom worse. The diameter of the new container should be only 3-5 cm larger than the previous one.

The roots require very careful handling during transplantation, so the rose is transferred to a new pot along with an earthen clod, but if it was planted in peat, then the roots must be cleaned, then the flower will take root faster in the new soil.

If at the time of the first transplant the rose is already in blooming buds, they should be cut off, since the roots and branches need to get stronger first of all.

Where to put an indoor rose?

These babies love sunlight, so it is preferable to place them on windows with south side. In low light, flowering is delayed or stops altogether. But the heat hurts the rose: + 25 ° is the limit for it, so you need to regularly ventilate the room, given that the flower does not tolerate drafts either. You can protect the rose with a small screen of paper, setting it around the plant to about its middle.

Watering and fertilizing regimen

During flowering, the rose needs moderate watering, it is carried out as the earth dries up. You can water both under the root and in the pan, but in this case the water should not stagnate. Water that the roots could not absorb must be poured out of the pan.

When the plant has a dormant period in autumn and winter, it is watered even less frequently. The mini-rose loves regular spraying with water from a spray bottle, while the air surrounding the plant is also moistened. But at low temperatures it is better to refrain from this.

In spring and summer, the flower is fed once every two weeks; in autumn and winter, they do not feed. Best results can be achieved by alternating mineral fertilizers with organic. Roses can be fed by the root method immediately after watering or sprayed with a nutrient solution.

Preparing a rose for a dormant period and spring awakening

Starting from the end of summer, nitrogen is excluded from the top dressing, as it is time for roses to prepare to rest. After the end of flowering, the pot with the plant is placed in a cool place (no more than 12 ° C), where the leaves will gradually turn yellow on it and the leaves will fall off.

In February, the rose is prepared for awakening: it is transplanted and placed in a warm place. In the same period, pruning of the plant is carried out, in which all weak, dried and close to each other shoots are cut. The rest need to be shortened to 4-5 live buds - this is how the plant rejuvenates and in March it will please with the first flowers.

Diseases and pests

The rose is very easily affected by the spider mite, and it is not easy to remove it. You can wash the leaves with a solution laundry soap, having previously covered the ground, use an infusion of garlic or yarrow or special chemicals from this pest.

Aphids in a small amount can simply be collected, with a strong lesion, specialized preparations will also help. The rose can also get sick with powdery mildew. Get rid of her baking soda: dissolve 2 tsp in a liter of water. soda and this composition spray the flower, preventing it from falling into the ground.

Rose cuttings

You can propagate a rose by cuttings, spend it in the summer, cutting cuttings from branches that have already faded. 2-3 buds should remain on the handle, the upper cut is straight - above the first bud, the lower cut is oblique. They are immediately placed in water or placed in a mixture of peat and sand. When the cutting takes root in water, it is better not to change it, but simply add fresh water. The rose is planted in the ground with a root length of 1-2 cm.

When buying a rose in a store, the first thing to do is to estimate the number of young shoots. The more of them, the more promising the plant in terms of growth and flowering, and it adapts much faster. If you take care of a room rose correctly, then its bush will be lush, cheerful and strewn with flowers.

How beautiful, how fresh the roses were...

Admit it, well, who at least once did not receive a rose in a pot as a gift or did not buy it on their own? What happened next? Despite all your worries - watering, fertilizing, spraying, dancing with tambourines, the plant began to wither before our eyes: the leaves turned black and fell off; fallen down, without opening, numerous buds; withered and crumbled flowers. For some more time, your rose fought for life, releasing weak, lifeless shoots, and then gave up and quietly left ... It's sad, insulting. It's a pity. But that's how it was originally intended.

What, you say, is it not even worth trying?

Worth it, still worth it.

The fact is that potted roses are essentially bouquets in pots. Yes, they delight the eye on the shelves in the store and a couple of days after purchase. But they are not meant to "live forever". Leaving the humid, warm and brightly lit greenhouse where the forcing was made, these roses experience severe stress, from which, alas, they may not always recover.

However, not everything is so sad. If you are seriously ready to take up roses, reprogramming them for a long life at home, and then possibly in the garden, if you agree to give it Special attention, no offense to other plants, if you like roses, you can go shopping right now.


So, choose a rose

First of all, let's pay attention to the stems. They should be firm, green, with smooth, intact bark. The leaves, of course, are without signs of disease. Flowers and buds. There are options here. If most of the buds have not yet opened, it means that the plant has not yet spent all its strength on flowering: it has a better chance of successfully adapting to your conditions. If the flowers are already withering, and the foliage does not fall off and looks fresh, this is also a good sign - in front of you is a plant with good stock strength: flowering in extreme conditions(namely, such conditions on the store shelf) did not exhaust him too much. Of course, you always want to take the most magnificently flowering bush. Buying a rose, perhaps, is just the case. We still choose not a potato, but a flower. In general, buy the one that "looks at you."

Sometimes in stores there are very tiny roses in 5-centimeter pots, in which the flowers are almost larger than these same pots. So I want to ask - what's the catch? The catch is that these roses will not remain such babies. Adult miniature roses of modern varieties grow up to 25-30 cm. Varieties of previous generations can reach a height of 40-45 cm. The height of adult patio roses is 40-50 cm.

The purchase, of course, must be well packed and delivered home safe and sound.

Along with the rose, do not forget to buy land for transplanting. Please note that it is better to take a special land - for roses. The nutritional value of ordinary peat soils for roses is insufficient. It is better to choose a mixture that includes humus. Or purchase a separate bag of humus, then to mix it with peat soil.


Playing on your field

After the purchase, if you chose a rose not as a short-lived bouquet, you will not have to admire it for long: a day or two, but the most correct and correct thing is to remove all flowers and buds from the plant immediately. At the same time, shorten the shoots by about half and cut the leaves - depending on their condition, all or almost all, leaving only the most dense ones. What for? And then, to give the plant the opportunity to save energy and begin to adapt to the conditions of your home.

When buying, you probably noticed that sometimes not one plant sits in a pot, but several. Do I need to plant them in different pots when transplanting? At first glance, it seems that together they look better - the bush is thicker, stronger, more decorative. But do not expect that they will bloom several times more abundantly. Interfering with each other, they will fight for a place under the sun: it is worse to bloom, get sick more often, form many blind shoots, etc. It will be better and more correct to plant the plants in different pots.

Strongly woven roots of roses are well separated under running water. It is better to wash off the whole old soil from the roots. If the roots are severely damaged, treat them with a root stimulator. The capacity for one plant should not greatly exceed the volume of the pot in which you bought the whole “bouquet”. The roots should quickly master the entire earthen lump so that your beauty does not have problems in the future.

The soil in which they have to live is very important for roses. It should be as nutritious as possible. It is good to take garden soil and compost, mix them in equal amounts and add to the finished Rose peat mixture. Humus fertilizer will also not be superfluous here.

After transplantation, spray the rose with a solution of a supportive preparation - Epin, Zircon, Krezatsin, and be sure to cover it, creating a mini-greenhouse, with a bag, jar or plastic bottle. If there is a greenhouse, place the plant there. The shelter should not be completely sealed, ventilate the greenhouse 1-2 times a day so that conditions are not created for the development of bacterial and fungal diseases. If, nevertheless, the mold suddenly starts up, treat the plant and soil with a fungicide solution (for example, "Fitosporin").

It is necessary to accustom the plant to existence without a greenhouse gradually and only when it will be seen that the plant has taken root and started to grow. Remove the shelter gradually, but keep an eye on the humidity of the air - this is very important for the health of your rose.

It happens that some bushes during transplantation suffered more than others and, despite Taken measures, look weak and oppressed. Support them by repeating the plant antidepressant treatment.


How to create optimal conditions

You already understood that air humidity means a lot to roses. Try to add high humidity enough level light, moderate air temperature, regular watering and feeding, and your rose will certainly thank you with abundant flowering.

For normal flowering, roses need at least 16-18 hours of daylight. During the day they should receive at least a little sunlight (windowsill - except for the north), and in the evening they need to be illuminated. It is better to buy special lamps for plants, but fluorescent lamps can also be used.

The best way to keep roses healthy is to plant them in the garden for the summer. If you wish, you can try and leave them there for permanent residence, covering them for the winter in accordance with all the rules.

The “narrow” moment of keeping roses at home is winter. In winter, the high temperature in the apartment encourages roses to grow, but the darkness outside the window leads to the formation of weak, elongated shoots. Dry air depletes the plant and promotes the appearance of spider mites. Find a bright, cool (not higher than 15-18ºС) window sill for wintering your rose, eliminate drafts, and purchase a special lamp - and next spring your rose will be better than all her girlfriends.

A rose that lives in a pot needs to be fertilized more often than one that grows in the ground. Of course, you can fill the soil with a long-term fertilizer, but it is easier and more reasonable to water with a weak nutrient solution at least once a week. Foliar top dressings on the sheet are very good, so the fertilizer comes right for its intended purpose.


Enemy number one

The most malicious troublemaker of the rose owner and the most common cause death of roses in apartments - spider mite. Reproducing at an enormous rate in favorable conditions, it sucks all the juices out of the rose, leaving pale silver-gray areas of dead tissue on the leaves, braids the leaves and stems with a thin, barely noticeable cobweb, destroys young buds and simply depresses the plant.

It is best not to let him into your house at all. But if he did appear, the fight against spider mites should be started immediately.

Most The best way- water. If you spray the rose with water every morning (leaves above and always below), you can sleep peacefully. Hold high humidity air, the spider mite does not like dampness, breeding where it is warm and dry. Give your roses a nice warm shower once a week.

However, everyone breaks the rules. water procedures, then it is worth resorting to drastic measures. Modern market preparations for pest control on plants offers a host of acaricides. Pay attention to "Aktellik", "Fitoverm", "Aktara" and other drugs. Two or three treatments will be enough until the next big invasion. For advanced flower growers, I can recommend Sunmite, Apollo and Nissoran. With them, you can and should get by with one treatment.


The passion for growing roses originated in Britain during Victorian times. According to legend, D. Hole decided to found the National Rose Society in 1876, inspired by a visit to a rose exhibition organized by Nottingham miners. Once upon a time, a rose in a buttonhole was an obligatory part of the business suit of a clerk from the City of London and the head of any railway station. It would seem that an ordinary gardener, in whose garden only a few rose bushes grow, cannot compare with brilliant breeders. However, in the 1970s, a train driver was able to grow a rose in a tiny greenhouse on his site, which won a gold medal at an exhibition in Rome!

We all love to surround ourselves beautiful things. Decorative roses are a great option for interior decoration and are quite popular today.

However, if you decide to purchase one of these roses, then you first need to figure out what kind of care a decorative rose in a pot needs.

How to care for a decorative rose?

All popular types of home roses are different large flowers, a variety of colors and a fairly strong pleasant smell. With proper care, plants will delight you for at least six years.

But how to care for a decorative rose in a pot?

It's simple - home roses prefer:

• The abundance of sunlight, and therefore it is better to plant them on windows that face south or east.
• Nutritious soil. You can prepare it yourself by mixing soddy soil, humus and sand in a ratio of 4: 4: 1.

Or you can purchase ready soil designed specifically for domestic roses.

• Moderate watering, preferably with infused water room temperature. It is worth watering the plant after the soil in the pot has completely dried out after the previous watering.
• Periodic feeding. It is enough twice a month during the period of active growth of the rose, as well as during its flowering.
• Regular spraying. It is better to spend it in the evenings a couple of times a week. Cooled boiled water is perfect for these purposes, in which special fertilizers can also be dissolved periodically.

After buying a new rose

If you have a decorative rose in a pot, you need to take care of it from the very first days. As soon as you have acquired a new plant, do not rush to transplant it into a new pot, let the rose stand on the windowsill for several days and get used to the new atmosphere for it.

Please note that the new pot should be about 3 cm wider than the previous one and about 6 cm higher than it.

A brand new ceramic pot is best left in the water for a couple of hours. A pot that has already been used before should be thoroughly washed, but without the use of soap.

We put drainage at the bottom of the pot, after which we fill up the soil and granules of special fertilizer. We pre-water the rose still in the old pot, we take it out directly during the transplant. We install the plant with roots in a new pot and carefully sprinkle it with earth, compacting the soil. You don't need to water it again.

Immediately after the transplant, we put the rose in the shade and only the next day we rearrange the pot in the sun, where it will stand in the future.

You can start feeding a rose about a month from the date of its transplantation. You can both fertilize the soil under the rose, and spray its leaves with a special solution. Top dressing is carried out twice a month in evening time after watering.

In no case should you fertilize a diseased plant, as well as a plant that has recently been transplanted. It is also better to refrain from using fertilizers in rainy and cool weather.

Reproduction of indoor roses

Many who want to learn how to care for a decorative rose in a pot, over time, also ask themselves the question of reproduction. this plant. The site sympaty.net assures that there is nothing complicated in this either.

An ornamental rose propagates in indoor pot using stem cuttings, and it is best to engage in this process in early spring. To do this, simply cut off with a sharp knife or scissors a branch about 12 cm long and with live leaves on it. Put a branch in clean water room temperature and after a couple of weeks you will notice that the stalk has taken root. Wait a little longer until the roots branch out properly, then transplant the new plant into the soil.

Diseases of decorative roses

If you want to know how to care for a home decorative rose, you must remember that these plants are no less susceptible to various diseases than any other. So, dry indoor air often causes pests to appear on roses.

Indoor roses can compete with fresh cut flowers. With proper care, they will delight the hostess with flowering every year. In this article, you will learn how to care for a room rose and what difficulties you may encounter.

Indoor roses will delight in flowering every year.

Miniature roses sold in stores are supplied mainly from Holland. They are overfed with fertilizers and growth stimulants, so you need to try to make the adaptation successful. Plants are finicky and require special wintering conditions for repeated flowering.

Outwardly, low-growing roses are similar to their garden counterparts, but have more small leaves and flowers. The bushes reach a height of 35-45 cm. To date, several hundred varieties of miniature roses have been bred. At home, not only miniature, but also hybrid tea, remontant, ground cover and Bengal varieties are grown.

Caring for indoor roses

Caring for a room rose in the cold and warm months varies. For lush flowering the plant needs a dormant period, for normal growth - enough light and top dressing. Immediately after purchase decorative roses adapt to new conditions, they are transplanted into a new pot with fresh soil. If this is not done, the plant, accustomed to frequent feeding and stimulation, may begin to turn yellow and wither.

flower transplant

So, transplantation is the first thing to do. To do this, choose a pot that will be slightly larger than the current one. If you are making your own mix, use 1 part garden soil, 2 parts of humus and peat and a little coarse sand. If not, ready-made soil for roses is suitable.

A layer of drainage is laid at the bottom of the pot. The earth in a pot with a rose is moistened with water, after which the lump is carefully removed so as not to damage the root system. Domestic roses are best transplanted by transshipment. Place the removed earthen ball in a new pot, and fill the free space with fresh soil.

Location selection

Indoor roses need good lighting. The best option for them there will be southern or southeastern windows, but plants need to be shaded from direct sunlight. With a lack of light, miniature roses do not develop well, so you should take care of the backlight.

Roses love bright light and Fresh air.

Indoor rose loves fresh air, so in warm weather it can be kept on the balcony or near open window. The bush needs space, so do not unnecessarily clutter up the window sill. To form a beautiful bush, the rose must be turned in different directions towards the light.

In the warm months, the flower needs a temperature of 25 degrees, during the dormant period (from October to February), it is reduced to 5-8 degrees. In the spring, with the beginning of active growth, the temperature increase should be gradual.

Watering frequency

Indoor roses love high humidity. In the hot months in the evening, they are recommended to be sprayed with boiled water at room temperature or put the pots on a pallet with wet pebbles / expanded clay. The earth ball should be constantly moistened, but the soil should not be flooded or overdried.

Irrigation frequency varies depending on growing season but always dry upper layer soil. On hot days, rose care includes frequent watering, and in autumn and winter they are reduced. It is also impossible to completely stop watering, otherwise the rose will shed its leaves.

Excess water is always drained from the pan. At the same time, irrigation methods alternate. Once watered under the root, the second - add water to the pan until it is absorbed into the soil. Water should be settled, not cold.

top dressing

In the spring, when the home rose is actively growing, as well as during the flowering period, top dressing is applied once a week. On cloudy and cold days, roses do not absorb fertilizers well. It is not necessary to fertilize diseased plants or those that have recently been transplanted. Both organic and mineral complexes are suitable for roses. There is no need to feed the plants in autumn and winter.

Top dressing is needed during the period of active growth and budding.

Wintering and pruning

Roses at home, like garden roses, require a cool wintering. At the end of summer, reduce the frequency of feeding and reduce watering. Each branch is cut in September so that 4-5 dormant buds remain on it - this causes lush growth and flowering in spring. The leaves are left. Remove weak and thin shoots.

If you missed winter pruning, be sure to do it in the spring. In this state, roses are sent for the winter. IN cold period they are watered every 3-4 days and kept in a room with a temperature of 6 degrees. If this is not possible, let miniature roses hibernate on the windowsill at a temperature of 10-14 degrees.

Spring awakening begins in February. To do this, the rose is often watered and kept at a higher temperature - 15-20 ° C. In spring, pruning is repeated according to the same principle as in autumn.

Pruning miniature roses.

Miniature roses outdoors

Indoor roses do well outdoors, but require shelter for the winter. For planting them in the garden, you need to choose a place well-lit and protected from the winds. Roses grow well in almost any garden soil, but best of all - on loams with low acidity.

During the summer, flowers are taken care of in the same way as domestic flowers, and from the second half of summer they begin to prepare for winter. To do this, nitrogen top dressing is removed, and in August-September, potassium-phosphorus is introduced, which inhibits the growth of shoots. At the beginning of autumn, pinching / pruning of shoots is carried out, watering and loosening of the soil are reduced.

After the first frost on a rose in the garden, all the leaves are cut off, starting from the bottom, young, unripe shoots are removed. The earth under the bushes is dug up and spud under the root. When the soil freezes a little, the rose is covered with spruce branches or dry foliage. The layer thickness must be at least 10 cm.

During the thaw period, the shelter can be removed for ventilation so that rot does not develop. With the onset of constant warm days, the shelter is removed, pruned. Then they begin to care for the flowers in the usual way.

Bushes can be planted in open ground.

flowering period

Indoor roses usually bloom in spring and summer, but often in stores you can find plants that bloom in winter. This is achieved by applying stimulant drugs, but at home, the rose will return to its normal cycle. blooming roses need to be watered more often and fertilized at least once a week. Small flowers of some varieties do not smell, while others, on the contrary, are fragrant. Flowers do not usually provoke an allergic reaction.

Why does the rose not bloom

You may never see rose flowers due to care errors. The most common is the absence of a rest period. Roses may not bloom due to lack of lighting, lack of nutrients in the ground, growing in unsuitable soil. In a pot of the wrong size, the plant may also not bloom for a long time. In a small one it will be cramped, in a large root system will develop an earthen room.

Room rose problems

If home rose weakened, it is attacked by pests and diseases. Usually their appearance provokes improper care - lack of light, dry air, over watering. A miniature rose is prone to fungal diseases, more often it affects powdery mildew. Of the pests, the spider mite is the most annoying.

fungal diseases

Leaf spotting.

• Powdery mildew is accompanied by a white coating on the leaves, which gradually passes to the stems and buds. It is caused by excess fertilizer and dry indoor air. At the first symptoms, the infected parts of the plant should be removed, and if it is severely affected, cut off at the root. The remaining sprouts must be treated with "Fundazol", and repeated several times.
• Leaf spot is caused by high humidity and high temperature, too dense soil, dense planting of roses. Small brown spots appear on the leaves, which subsequently increase, leading to the death of parts of the rose. Affected areas must be urgently removed, the plant should be treated copper-containing preparation or sulphurous. Until the flower recovers, it cannot be sprayed with ordinary water, but it can be treated with antifungal soap.

Viral diseases

• Bacterial cancer is a disease whose viruses, even after the death of the plant, continue to live in the soil for several years. It appears as round depressed spots or bumps on stems and roots. The affected areas should be soaked for several minutes in a solution blue vitriol and then destroy it. Soil from an infected plant should not be thrown into the garden, so as not to infect healthy areas.
• Jaundice in roses is provoked by cicadas and psyllids. In young leaves, the veins turn yellow, the plate brightens and deforms. The affected areas must be cut and burned, and if the rose is severely affected, destroy it completely.
• The wilting virus causes the leaves to become narrow, the buds do not tie, and the bush gradually dries up. Control measures are the same as for jaundice.
• Infectious burn. Spots appear on the stems, dry in the center. Gradually, they increase, leading to the death of the shoots. If the stain has just appeared, you can try to clean it off with a knife and process the cut with Rannet. When the stem is severely affected, it is cut off at the base.

Pests

The most dangerous pest of indoor roses is the spider mite. It actively reproduces in dry air, usually infecting the plant in autumn and winter. To prevent its occurrence, the rose is often sprayed and bathed. Ticks settle on the underside of the leaves, look like small dots of red or dark brown color, a cobweb can be seen on the plant.

To combat it, garlic or tobacco infusion is used, in extreme measures - chemicals"Aktellik", "Neoron", "Arrow". Spray the plant with the prepared solution, spill the soil. Processing is carried out 3 times with an interval of a week.

reproduction

Miniature roses are propagated by cuttings. To do this, cut off the stem with 4-5 active buds in the spring (cuttings left after pruning are suitable, you can try rooting after the autumn). On a branch with a sharp disinfected knife, a cut is made at an angle of 45 degrees. The lower spikes and leaves are removed, the rest are shortened.
