Landing
To plant any of the climbing rose varieties on your site, it does not take much knowledge and effort. Such a procedure is quite within the power of even beginners. In order to plant shrubs, it is worth giving preference to an area well-lit by the sun, which is constantly ventilated.Most varieties of roses are good for light, but there are also varieties that prefer shade.
The best option for planting a rose would be the south or southwest side. It is not recommended to plant the plant on swampy soil that is subject to flooding or is characterized by high groundwater. It's no secret that it is best to plant a rose bush on loose, fertile soil that is moderately moist. In the case of high gravity of the soil, it should be lightened by adding sand, peat, humus with cow dung. In this case, the fertile layer should be at least 0.3 meters.
When choosing a site where it is planned to plant a fragrant plant, it is worth taking into account the fact that it may be necessary to lay the stems for the winter period of the year, but in such a way that they do not damage them against each other.
The next important step in the rose planting procedure is the selection of a quality seedling. A young individual should have several mature stems that have a woody structure and a green bark without damage. The seedling must have a strong root system with a large number of roots.
The planting procedure should be carried out in the autumn period - from September to October, or in early spring - from mid-April to mid-May. Planting depth should be 0.55-0.65 meters. In the case of an autumn planting, you will need to plant 2 cm deeper. But also do not forget that pre-winter planting of a seedling requires hilling with the help of earth mixed with sand. Thus, you can protect the young plant from drying out and freezing.
Before planting in the soil, the seedlings should be prepared. Young roses are soaked in water 24 hours before planting. And also with the help of a pruner, all present foliage, damaged shoots or unripe branches are removed. The roots need to be shortened by 0.3 meters. And it is also worth shortening the aerial part of the rose. Seedlings need disinfection, for this they are placed in a three percent solution of copper sulfate.
Direct planting of the plant should be started with the preparation of the hole. It should be dug out with dimensions of 0.5 by 0.5 meters. If you plan to plant more than one seedling, then it is worth observing the distance between them at least two meters. The placement of the roots in the hole should be free, without bending. The grafting site should be located at a point 10 centimeters from the hole level. The pit is filled with soil more than half, after which it is compacted. Thus, the soil will adhere well to the root system. The next step is to water the young plant.
After the liquid is thoroughly absorbed, the hole must be filled with soil to the top and the seedling 0.2 meters high is hilled. In the absence of rain, watering should be done every 5 days. After three days have passed from the moment of planting, it is worth removing the soil from the seedling. It is better to carry out this procedure in cloudy weather, when there are no sudden temperature changes.
Do not forget that the grafting point should remain at a depth of 0.1 meters, because new shoots will form from it.
Transfer
It is worth replanting an adult rose only when it does not have enough space for normal growth and development, and also if the growing conditions, the soil, are not suitable for it. This procedure is carried out in early November. If you transplant the plant later, then it may not have time to take root before the onset of frost. And you can also carry out the process in the spring, but in this case, the gardener must have time before soil formation.
First of all, the rose is removed from the support, after which it is worth pinching the young shoots. Stems that are more than 24 months old should be removed and those that are too long should be shortened.The next step is to dig in the bushes in a circle, while you will need to indent from the center, which should be equal to at least two shovels. When working, it is worth remembering about the depth of the roots, they should be completely dug out without damaging them. It is worth shaking off the remnants of the earth from the roots, and with the help of a pruner, you need to remove shaggy root processes and eliminate the damaged ones.
The dug rose is placed in a prepared hole with a straightened root system. After that, the hole is covered with soil and compacted. Next, the plant needs to be watered. After several days from the moment of transplantation, it is worth adding soil to the rose in the missing volume and aligning the trunk circle. Also, do not forget about hilling the bush.
Care
In the process of caring for climbing roses, you will need to carry out regular watering, feed the plant, cut it off in time, loosen the soil, and also fight diseases and pests. For neat growth, the stems will need to be tied to a support. For the winter season, the plant should be covered.
Watering
During the growing season, the rose needs a lot of moisture. That is why, after the buds are swollen and the pruning is done, the shrubs need to be watered every 10 days. During this procedure, the percolation of liquid should be carried out below the level of the roots. Each rose bush needs up to two buckets of water. After watering or rain, it is imperative to loosen the soil to a depth of 5 centimeters. Thanks to this procedure, more oxygen enters the soil.
With a lack of liquid in the soil, the volume of salts increases, and the growth of the plant also slows down. It is also worth remembering that an excessive amount of fluid contributes to the development of a fungal infection.
Top dressing
This type of rose, unlike all others, needs a large amount of fertilizer. It is required to feed the plants throughout the summer with a break of 10-20 days. Do not forget about the alternation of dressings. First, fertilize with nitrogenous fertilizers, and then with complex fertilizers. In this case, the substances can be both dry and dissolved.
At the beginning of the season, it is worth feeding the roses with liquid mineral fertilizers. After 10-20 days, it is recommended to feed the shrub with an organic fertilizer, which consists of a mixture of the following substances:
- mullein buckets;
- 5 liters of water;
- 3 kilograms of ash.
With this mixture, roses are watered at the root. Thanks to the above procedures, the plant blooms abundantly, and this also contributes to the bright coloration of the buds. Shrubs need such feeding until mid-summer, after which nitrogenous fertilizing is canceled and replaced with phosphorus or potash.
In order for the feeding process not to harm the roses, the dosage should be observed.
Pruning
You need to cut roses so that a beautiful crown is formed, and the bush is healthy, strong, and blooms for a long time. Young seedlings give new long stems, which must be laid in the soil and covered for the winter season. In springtime, the owner must cut the stems that are frozen and rotted, as well as the ends of the branches to the original bud. After that, the need for pruning arises depending on the period of the beginning of flowering of the rose.
In the case when a shrub blooms once, and flowers appear on last year's shoot, then they need to be completely cut off. To replace the pruned shoots, new young shoots grow, which will bloom next year. New shoots on re-flowering bushes appear within three years. Weakness of flowering is observed by the fifth year of the rose's life, so after 4 years the shoots should be cut off.
The process of pruning roses should be done in the spring. With this procedure, it is worth leaving only the optimal number of stems, which are characterized by youth, strength and stem length.Spring pruning should be done annually. And also the branches should be folded back and tied horizontally. This procedure stimulates the growth of a powerful young shoot and its vigorous flowering.
An important procedure is the removal of wilted flowers to the first leaf that looks outward. It is very important to remove the flowers after the first wave of flowering, as this will promote new shoot growth and flowering.
Winter care
To prepare the rose for the winter period, it is worth covering it. The procedure is carried out when the air temperature drops to 5 degrees below zero. It is not recommended to do this earlier, as the bush will not have time to harden or will start to rot. You need to cover the plant on a day when there is no rain or wind.
To begin with, the leaves are removed from the stems and the damaged parts of the rose are destroyed. Next, you need to tie the lashes with a rope and put them with extreme care on the littering surface. The plant must be fixed on the soil surface, sprinkled with soil or sand on top. Next, the rose should be covered with lutrasil, plastic wrap, roofing material or any other waterproof material.
Do not forget that there must be a layer of air between the rose and the surface.
Diseases and pests
A climbing rose can be attacked by aphids and spider mites. With a small spread of aphids, it can be eliminated with folk remedies. Pests can be collected manually. To do this, with the help of fingers, a part of the plant is clamped and the aphid is removed. Gloves should be used during this procedure. This method is effective only in the initial stages of aphid infestation.
In a situation where aphids have plentifully attacked the rose, it is worth preparing a soapy solution. To do this, the soap is grated, poured into a bowl and filled with water. The substance should stand until the soap is completely dissolved. Next, it is worth filtering the substance and spraying it on the affected plant.
Provided that this method does not help, and the aphid continues to exist on the shrub, it is worth buying an insecticidal agent for grapes and roses. Treatment with a chemical preparation should be carried out on a calm, warm day.
The attack of a rose by a spider mite occurs in dry hot weather, subject to rare watering. The pest settles on the seamy side of the leaves, while feeding on the juice of the rose and entangling it with its cobwebs. The leaves of the affected plant change color to green-silver. To eliminate the parasite, gardeners often use a tincture based on wormwood, makhorka, yarrow, and tobacco. After 3 days have passed from the moment of treatment with the substance, more than 80 percent of insects die, re-treatment can be carried out after 14 days.
The climbing rose can suffer from attacks of cicadas, thrips, rose sawflies, leaf rollers. But with timely and proper care of the shrub, the above parasites do not settle on it.
A preventive method of protecting climbing roses from pests is planting marigolds in the immediate vicinity. In autumn and spring, it is recommended to process fragrant arches with Bordeaux liquid.
The most dangerous diseases for climbing roses are several ailments.
- Bacterial cancer. It manifests itself in the form of soft lumpy growths, which harden and darken over time. The result of untimely treatment of the disease is the complete drying of the bush. Unfortunately, bacterial cancer is an incurable disease, so when buying a seedling it is worthwhile to conduct a thorough examination. And also, as a preventive measure, it is recommended to disinfect the roots of the rose by placing them in a solution of copper sulfate. If growths are still observed on an adult shrub, then it is worth immediately cutting out the affected area, and also treating the cut with copper sulfate.
- Coniotirium is a fungal disease that is recognized as a burn or cancer. The disease is manifested by the appearance on the bark of spots of a brown-red color, which turn black over time. The affected stems must be cut off immediately to prevent the spread of the disease. As a prophylaxis for coniotirium in the fall, it is worth replacing nitrogen fertilizers with potash fertilizers. And also during thaws, shrubs need to be ventilated by raising their shelter.
- Powdery mildew. This type of disease is fixed when a white bloom appears on the plant, which turns brown over time. The cause of powdery mildew is considered to be high humidity, temperature drops, a large amount of nitrogen in the soil and improper watering. First of all, it is worth cutting off those parts of the rose that were attacked by the disease. After that, processing is carried out with copper and iron sulfate.
- Black spot. The appearance on the leaves of brownish-red spots with a yellow border indicates this disease. After a while, the spots can merge into one, thereby causing the leaflets to die off. As a preventive measure, in the autumn, the rose should be fed with phosphorus-potassium fertilizer. In addition, you will need to treat the plant and the soil around it with Bordeaux liquid and copper sulfate with a break of a week.
- Gray rot - this is the kind of rose disease that destroys all its parts. The plant loses its attractive appearance and is characterized by scarcity of flowering. If the disease strongly attacked the bush, then it must be dug up and destroyed. At the first signs of gray rot, the rose must be treated with a solution with the following components: 5 liters of water, 50 grams of Bordeaux liquid. To treat a rose, you need to carry out 4 treatments at intervals of a week.
Sometimes situations arise that a well-developed climbing rose bush refuses to bloom. The reason for this situation can be not only disease, but also poor quality of the seedling, unsuitable conditions for growth and development, freezing during severe frosts.
