How and how to process roses?

How and how to process roses is a frequent question for novice gardeners, since without proper care they will bloom poorly, become susceptible to various diseases and insect attacks. Therefore, if it is decided to plant these flowers in the garden, then it is worth thinking about comprehensive care of them. Only in this case will the roses delight.

Rose is a flower that requires constant attention, no matter what region it grows in and what variety is cultivated. And it is quite obvious that it is definitely not enough to process them once a season. Therefore, a wide variety of procedures are required, the purpose of which will differ, as well as the drugs chosen for this purpose.

First of all, you need preventive actions, which are able to prevent the occurrence of diseases and insect infestations. These treatments are very important, since it will be much more difficult and longer to deal with all the misfortunes later, and depending on the problem, sometimes it is not always possible to cope with the problems and save the flower.

All the more processing is necessary if the plant is already affected by a disease or attacked by insects. Such procedures are carried out not once, but in courses. It all depends on the degree of damage. If it was possible to quickly detect the onset of the disease or the presence of insects, then a couple of procedures may be enough, depending on the strength of the selected agent. Store options help faster, with the help of folk remedies you will have to work longer.

Another necessary procedure is processing for the purpose of feeding, which will help the roses look more attractive, develop correctly, and bloom beautifully.

Before you start carrying out any procedures, you need to prepare the bushes. These actions include:

• pruning faded buds and spoiled stems;
• getting rid of any weeds;
• watering and loosening the soil.

Then it is worth preparing the solution itself. They are different. Some must be used immediately, otherwise their effect will simply disappear. Others, on the contrary, must settle, they only in this case will be filled with useful substances. All these nuances must be taken into account.

In addition, you need to check the weather forecast in advance, as the day should be warm, but not hot. Bushes need to be processed in the early morning or late evening. If the weather is cloudy, that's good. But there should be no rain - and not only during processing, but also after it during the day. Otherwise, there will be no result.

When all the nuances are taken into account, you can start important events.

There are different ways and schemes in order to achieve abundant flowering, since there are varieties that bloom starting in spring, then all summer and even in autumn.

During this time of the year, roses are processed several times.

The first treatment can be both prophylactic and curative. (in the event that at the end of the season the flowers were affected by any fungal disease). In any case, a solution of copper or iron sulfate will benefit the roses. This procedure is carried out in April, spraying the bushes themselves and watering the ground around them.Bordeaux liquid can be used as a good alternative for this purpose.

After two weeks, the roses can be treated with a solution that serves to prevent the appearance of awakening insects. You can use, for example, a drug such as Rose Clear.

The next spring top dressing can be an ash solution. They are sprayed with leaves. It will serve as both nutrition and protection against fungal diseases.

The solution is prepared as follows:

• in three liters of water, the same amount of glasses of ash is diluted;
• then boil and cool;
• add water to 10 liters;
• add a couple of tablespoons of liquid soap or rub on a household grater;
• the resulting solution is well mixed and sprayed with bushes.

The last time in the spring, roses are treated to ensure good flowering, which will not be disturbed by pests or diseases. For this purpose, you can use "Fitoverm", "Abiga-Peak", "Akarin", "Oksikhom"... For good shoot growth, roses are often treated with magnesia.

Even roses carefully processed in spring for the purpose of prophylaxis are not insured against disease or insect infestation. Sometimes it is good for the bushes to have a good shower. This is also a kind of processing. A decent pressure of water will wash away unwanted guests in the form of three, ants or spider mites. But at the same time, you need to act without fanaticism, so as not to damage the delicate buds and young leaves. In July (in the very heat), especially in the southern regions, due to warm days and high humidity, the risk of fungal diseases arises again. At this time, plants can be treated with drugs such as Kuprozan, Tilt, Polycarbocin, Funginex.

Despite the fact that at this time the roses are already slowly being prepared for winter, you should not forget about the last treatments, because its successful awakening in spring depends on whether the plant is healthy or sick.

Autumn processing includes more gentle methods. The same ash will do. One and a half kilograms of it is diluted in five liters of water, boiled and brought to a volume of 15 liters. The bushes are treated on a warm and not rainy day so that the useful composition does not wash off the leaves ahead of time. For better adhesion, you can add any liquid soap, shampoo, or dishwashing liquid to the solution.

If the plants are often sick in the summer, you can carry out the treatment with "Fitosporin" in the fall. And the very last procedure before the cold weather will be spraying the bushes with Bordeaux liquid. It will be a good prevention of fungal diseases.

And if, for the purpose of prophylaxis, roses are often sprayed with folk remedies, the same tobacco solution, a mixture of pepper and tobacco, boric acid, salicylic acid, ammonia, then when they are already affected by this or that disease or attacked by pests, it is necessary to connect a more serious arsenal of means.

Even with good care and the use of prophylactic agents, one should not exclude the appearance of various diseases on the roses. You can often see brownish spots on the leaves, this will indicate that you need to save the flowers from rust. If the stems and foliage are covered with a white bloom, you need to prepare preparations for powdery mildew or downy mildew.

The named compositions are not difficult to apply. Each package contains a list of diseases from which it helps, and the dosage is also indicated there. It is on her that you need to be guided before preparing the mixture for spraying.

Most often, roses suffer from fungal infections. Therefore, most of the drugs offered in gardening stores are precisely designed to combat them. Summer residents most often process their bushes with all known drugs and, by the way, effective: Bordeaux liquid, copper sulfate, "Aktaroy", "Hom"... Often use "Skor" and "Fitoverm"... Those who are categorically against chemicals, although they will not bring any harm to roses, use "Fitosporin"... They can process flowers all season for both prophylaxis and treatment, taking into account only the nuance that dosages in these cases will be different.

Very often, novice gardeners, who are not particularly familiar with the names of certain insects, meet green caterpillars, ants, green and black insects on the bushes and begin to panic, applying everything at once.

But if there are few insects or the same whitefly or leafhopper has settled on the leaves, you can try folk remedies first. Just be sure to take into account that there will be several treatments with an interval of 4–5 days.

• To do this, you can dilute the tobacco dust with water.... For one liter of tobacco dust, add 5 liters of water, boil and insist for a day. Then add 50 grams of liquid soap. This solution is sprayed on the bushes on a windless sunny day early in the morning or late in the evening.

• Dry pepper will become the same helper. The pods are crushed (5 pieces are enough), poured with a liter of water and soap is added. The infusion is ready to go.

• The same formulations can be used for both aphids and whiteflies.... But it should be borne in mind that aphids are not washed off the leaves so easily. You need a very good spray pressure from a spray gun or a hose. In this case, special attention should be paid to the inside of the leaf, it is there that a small parasite is hiding. Aphids are very often affected by roses.

• Some summer residents struggle with it even with plain water.... It is enough to wash it off the leaves and stems well, it will never come back. But it is still better to treat the bushes with some more effective drugs.

• In addition, you need to take care that there is no accumulation of ants on the ground near the roses, and for this you need to decompose the poison for garden insects, which is sold in garden stores. Ordinary boiling water and a solution of acetic acid will help to quickly cope with anthills. You should be careful with the first one: you should not pour it directly under the root, but only near the plants. Otherwise, you can harm the root system of the plant.

These include lavender and calendula... In this case, ants and aphids will not disturb the roses. It should be borne in mind that aphids are very dangerous. If ignored, it will destroy bushes in a short time. Marigolds will get rid of nematodes and ticks. So it makes sense to take care of the neighbors for roses in advance, and this will avoid many problems. By the way, it is quite possible to process roses with the same marigold tincture in order to get rid of insects or prevent their appearance.

Garlic and spurge will also be useful neighbors, as well as a decoction made from them. And the garlic infusion will not only scare away pests, but also serve as a good prevention of fungal diseases.

For any insects, ammonia helps well. Preliminarily, a bottle of ammonia must be diluted in 5-10 liters of water, depending on the damage to the plant, and sprayed on the bushes. In addition, it is also an excellent top dressing, which ensures good bud development and long flowering. Thus, many folk remedies, like store ones, help to solve several problems at the same time.

It should be remembered that before sprinkling roses, regardless of the problem that has arisen, you need to prepare the bushes: remove weeds, loosen the ground, water, remove dried buds and diseased shoots. Only in this case, any spraying will bring a positive result.
