Planting roses in open ground- it’s not an easy task, especially for a novice gardener. In this article we will tell you in detail how to do it correctly in order to grow a beautiful rose garden yourself.

The most suitable time for autumn planting roses - from mid-September to early October. Plants planted during this period manage to take root well before the onset of frost and quickly begin to grow in the spring. This primarily applies to regions where the winter is quite mild. In autumn, the earth is well warmed up, there is enough rainfall, so the seedlings develop better than when planting roses in the spring.

Choosing a landing site

Roses do well in a sunny area protected from the wind. In this case, groundwater must lie at least 1 m from the ground surface. It is also important to provide the plants with good drainage. The liquid should not stagnate, so a good place for roses will be a southern slope, from which melt water will quickly drain in the spring.

It is also advisable that there is no rose garden near tall plants and trees, otherwise they will create a shadow for the flowers.

Preparing the soil for roses

Roses prefer fertile, well-drained, loose and moderately moist soil. Moreover, the thickness of the nutrient layer should be at least 40 cm. If the soil on your site is depleted, 2-3 weeks before planting, prepare a nutritious soil mixture of loamy soil and organic fertilizers (compost or humus) in a 1:1 ratio.

Preparing seedlings

If you purchased a seedling with an open root system, soak it in water a day before planting. Then remove the leaves, using a sharp pruner, cut out all the damaged roots, and cut off the slightly rotten ones to a healthy place, shorten the above-ground part to a length of 30 cm. Also remove the buds that are located below the grafting site, since wild shoots will grow from them.

Then spray the seedling with 3% iron sulfate, dip the roots into clay mixed with mullein in a 2:1 ratio. This will protect the rose from diseases and pests.

Carefully inspect the rose seedling. It must have at least three well-developed, intact shoots. Saplings with an open root system should have branched roots and many small roots.

Planting roses in autumn in 6 steps

1. Dig a hole 40 cm in diameter and 50-70 cm deep.

2. Place drainage from the bottom broken bricks, pebbles or expanded clay, if the soil on the site is heavy; or lay a layer of clay 7 cm thick if the soil is sandy. Place a heap of fertile soil on top.

3. Place the seedling on it, carefully straightening the roots.

4. Fill the remaining space with soil dug out of the hole or with a previously prepared soil mixture (see the section “Preparing soil for roses”), mixing it with 1-2 cups of ash.

The root collar of the seedling or the grafting site should be 5 cm below the ground surface, and standard roses- by 10 cm.

5. Lightly compact the soil and water generously. To better soak the water, it is better to do this in several passes. In total, the liquid consumption should be 1-2 buckets per bush.

6. To prevent the roots of the plant from freezing during autumn frosts, cover the seedlings with a layer of dry peat 15-20 cm thick. This will also help retain moisture in the soil. After 2 weeks, slightly level the peat hill.

When planting flowers in groups, please note: the distance between the bushes of park roses should be 75-90 cm. Polyantha, hybrid tea and floribunda roses should be planted at a distance of 30-60 cm. And when planting climbing and standard roses, the distance between the bushes must be increased to 1 m.

What to do if you are late planting roses?

If the weather suddenly turns bad in the fall, and you have not yet had time to plant the rose seedlings purchased in advance, you should not do it hastily, as the plants will not have time to take root. It’s better to bury them before spring in an inclined position in a greenhouse or in a trench (about 40 cm deep) dug in unprotected ground. When frosts begin, cover the seedlings with spruce branches and peat, and cover them with snow on top.

In addition, seedlings can be placed in a basement with a temperature of about 0°C.

A beautiful pink flower garden is every gardener’s dream! “Queen of Flowers” ​​pleases the owner’s eye from May to October. Planting and care rose bushes doesn't represent special difficulties. Therefore, if you wish, you can always enjoy roses in your garden. Roses are planted in spring and autumn. Autumn planting, according to many experts, is even more preferable for roses. Experience shows that freshly planted roses after wintering in the spring grow at the same level as last year's.

Spring planting of rose seedlings

Let's figure out how to plant roses in the spring.

From ground cover roses you can create a real garden with flower beds, rose bushes and even trees. Along neat paths there are low-growing pink roses, cone-shaped pink trees from metal base and climbing roses. And all this - against the backdrop of a lush, trimmed green lawn

The best hedge or a dividing strip for the lawn - multi-colored lush rose bushes. An excellent composition of three flowers - a juicy yellow, delicate pink and rich red rose. It is better to plant bushes at a distance of 100-60 cm and maintain them spherical shape

Roses start selling from early spring. You should not be afraid to buy rose seedlings, for example, in March. Purchased roses can be stored in the basement or refrigerator (at +4) during wet sand or special fabric. Roses can be stored in this way More than a month, then or plant on permanent place, or bury the whole thing in the ground before the onset of heat (usually the end of April).

Choosing a landing site

• Ideally for planting roses, a small slope facing south is suitable.
• The place should not be the most open to direct sun rays. It’s not bad if there are bushes near the rose flower bed, or if the shade of the house covers the roses at lunchtime.
• Roses require good drainage, so they are best planted in higher areas.

Well preparation

Planting pit You need to prepare it 1.5-2 weeks before planting the roses, so that the soil has time to settle, otherwise the seedling may go underground. As with any shrubs, the hole should be deep enough - 60-70 cm. This is necessary, since over time the rose builds up its root system and grows.

The hole for roses should be deep - 50-70 centimeters. When placing the seedling in the hole, make sure that the roots do not bend or point upward

Filling the hole depends on the soil:

• If you have heavy “oily” soil, the soil must be diluted with sand and organic matter (manure, compost, ash and others).
• If the soil is more sandy, in addition to organic fertilizers, you need to add a little clay.
• If there was already a flower garden at the planting site, the soil must be completely changed, since the soil has most likely already lost the necessary nutrients.

Various manuals on growing roses indicate that these flowers prefer clay soils. However, roses can be grown on any soil. It is only necessary to ensure good drainage and a sufficient amount of organic matter to retain moisture and nutrients.

Planting rose seedlings

There are 2 known ways to plant roses:

1. Dry. The seedling is placed in a dry hole and covered with prepared soil. And watering is carried out from above. This method is good for regions with high humidity.
2. Wet. Water mixed with soil is poured into the hole, and the seedling is lowered into it. This method is more suitable for arid climates and soils. With this planting, the roots are better covered with soil, and the rose takes root faster.

Make sure that the grafting site is underground; it should be buried literally to the height of two or three fingers

During planting, you need to monitor the grafting site (where the shoots begin). It should be just below the surface of the soil. Thus, the rose will be protected from frost and sunlight, and additional shoots will not develop from the bud, which can suppress the growth of the main ones.

After planting, you need to immediately water the rose so that the soil settles better at the roots. If the soil settles, you should add soil mixture so that holes do not form, otherwise the roots may rot from excess moisture.

It doesn’t matter what time of year you plant, after planting, the seedling must be watered abundantly so that there are no voids left in the ground

Hilling

After planting, it is necessary to hill the seedling. Hill up with compost or fertile soil, pouring a mound towards the root. If the seedling is small, it is completely covered with earth for a couple of weeks to protect the shoots and buds. After 2 weeks, the hill is raked so that the shoots do not give up their roots, on which the rose grows much worse.

Hilling up must be done immediately after planting. This event will help preserve moisture in the shoots, since in the bright sun in spring, roses can dry out quickly. But do not forget to remove the hill after 2 weeks, after the plant has taken root and the shoot has not had time to take root.

Now is the time to stimulate the growth of the seedling. To do this, you need to trim the tops of the cuts a little. After this, the rose must be watered with stimulants for another 2-3 weeks so that the plant grows actively.

Different varieties and shades of roses harmonize perfectly among plants coniferous garden. “Queens of flowers” ​​have always coexisted well with conifers. Small islands of pink, red and coral roses will enliven the decor and make the green needles even brighter and juicier

Look amazingly beautiful rose flower beds, laid out right in the middle of the green lawn. The geometry of the garden is emphasized by evenly trimmed hedges and rectangular flower beds made of different varieties low growing roses. Such decorative solutions with roses are ideal for large garden plots.

Features of autumn rose planting

Now let's look at how to plant roses in the fall. Autumn planting of roses is carried out until the end of September. In autumn, when planting rose seedlings, the following problems may arise:

1. When the autumn is long and warm, the seedlings begin to grow, but at the first frost, the young shoots freeze and the plant may die.
2. It is very difficult to find quality planting material. Almost all of the seedlings are overexposed in pots, and their roots are often dry from lack of soil and moisture.

How to choose a seedling for planting in the fall

If you still decide to buy rose seedlings in the fall, pay attention to following points:

• pay special attention to the root system, it must have healthy looking and not be parched;
• make an incision into the root with pruning shears; if it is white inside, the plant is alive and can be planted;
• if the root is brown inside, it means it is not viable and needs to be cut off until the white center appears;
• shoots must be intact, not broken and healthy;
• if the seedling has leaves, make sure that they are not affected by pests.

Late boarding

In October, nurseries begin sales of rose seedlings from big discounts. There is nothing wrong if you decide to plant roses at the end of October, as long as the plant is healthy. Please note that at this time of year you can purchase rare species roses by affordable prices, which were too expensive in the spring.

Large unkempt sloping area behind a short time can be turned into a piece of paradise on earth. To do this, you just need to sow it lawn plants and decorate with a variety of climbing and ground cover roses. Small square flower beds multi-colored roses can be densely placed around the perimeter of the site, and garden paths decorate with arches with weaving varieties of these wonderful flowers

Small scarlet roses can decorate mixborders, flower beds and front gardens large garden. These varieties love sunny places and mineral supplements. The brightness of the color depends on proper care behind these royal plants - roses

We prepare the hole for late planting as usual, fill it with organic fertilizers and mix it with soil. Transplant autumn rose remove from the pot carefully so as not to damage the root ball. The root collar is buried 2 cm into the ground. This is how protection against winter cold will be more reliable. After planting, thorough watering of the seedling is necessary.

Immediately pour out half a bucket of water and wait until it is absorbed into the ground. Then, water again. This helps remove voids in the soil and allow the roots of the seedling to take the desired position. Watering must be done regularly before the onset of winter cold.

Remember that the first year the pink buds on each shoot need to be cut off. The rose will bloom much better next season if it gains strength to grow, instead of wasting it on flowering. We wish you a lush and fragrant pink flower garden!

It is preferable to plant roses in autumn in regions with mild winter, and in regions with harsh climate Roses are planted in open ground mainly in the spring. However, when growing cut roses, it is recommended to plant the plantation in autumn for more early flowering roses of the first and second waves of cutting compared to those planted in the spring. For standard roses, spring planting is desirable.

Roses in autumn middle lane planted in the ground from mid-September to mid-October. More early boarding and warm autumn have an unfavorable effect on seedlings, whose dormant buds may awaken. More late boarding and very cold autumns increase the likelihood that rose seedlings will not have time to take root and will suffer from frost in the winter.

Roses love the sun, warmth and open air space, so for a rose garden they choose an area facing south (with a slight slope for melt water to drain) and protected from cold winds, where groundwater is deeper than 1 m. In areas with excess soil moisture, a good drainage and rose garden are made slightly elevated to create favorable conditions for the roots. Close proximity of roses to other plants and close proximity to the walls of houses is undesirable.

Roses require fertile, loose, well-seasoned with organic fertilizers, moderately moist soil. The fertile layer should be at least 40 cm. In most cases, these are medium-heavy - clay with sand, or sandy with clay soils, with a slightly acidic pH of 6.5-7. If the soil at the site of the future rose garden is poor, fertile soil is prepared for planting roses: su clay soil or clay, compost, humus or well-decomposed manure - cow, horse or chicken manure (unrotted manure cannot be used, it causes root rot in roses), mineral fertilizers(the amount of fertilizer depends on the quality of the soil). It is advisable to prepare a fertile mixture several weeks before planting roses: the soil must be mixed with organic matter in a 1:1 ratio, add a small amount of ash or lime, bone meal(150 g per sq.m.). To plant roses, dig holes 40 cm in diameter and 50-70 cm deep, or dig trenches of the same depth and width, oriented from north to south for better illumination. If the area is sandy, a layer of clay about 7 cm thick is placed on the bottom to prevent the soil from drying out; and if the site has heavy clay soil, heavy gravel sand is poured onto the bottom to prevent waterlogging of the soil. The holes and trenches are filled with previously prepared fertile soil and roses are planted.

High-quality rose seedlings must have well-branched roots with many thin roots and at least three well-developed, intact shoots; The diameter of the scion and rootstock should be the same (5-8 mm). Seedlings with an open root system are soaked in water a day before planting. Before planting, remove leaves from rose shoots and cut out immature and broken shoots with sharp pruning shears. Aboveground part shorten to 30-35 cm, long roots - to 25-30 cm, cutting out rotten roots to a healthy place. The buds located below the grafting site are removed - wild shoots will develop from them. Seedlings are disinfected by spraying with 3% iron sulfate. The roots of roses are dipped in a clay mash with mullein (2:1) of a creamy consistency. Park roses planted according to the scheme 75x100 cm for group plantings and 1.5x2 m for row plantings, Hybrid Tea - 40x60 cm, large-flowered Polyantha roses and Floribunda - 30x50 cm, small-flowered Polyantha roses - 30x40 cm, Remontant roses - 40x70 cm; between climbing roses maintain a distance of 50 to 100 cm.

In cold regions, rose bushes are placed less often to better warm the soil and aerate the plantings to avoid fungal diseases of roses. When growing cut roses, the plantation is planted in the fall according to a thickened pattern with double rows: the distance between bushes is 25 cm, between double rows is 30 cm, row spacing is 50 cm. With such an economical placement of roses, caring for the bushes is easier and the flower stalks are lengthened; the bushes stretch out a little, stop growing in time in the fall, and the wood has time to ripen well by winter. In grafted roses, when planting, the graft turns to the south; it should be 3 cm (on light soils - 5 cm) below the soil surface for good rooting and to protect the roots from freezing in winter.

in autumn spray roses planted a little deeper than they grew in the nursery to prevent the seedlings from bulging from frost; climbing roses deepen more to form additional roots. When planting, the roots are evenly spread in all directions and covered with fertile soil so that it fits tightly to the roots and there are no air cavities. The compacted soil is watered abundantly in several doses at the rate of 1-2 buckets of water per bush; after moisture is absorbed, the surface is covered with dry soil and holes are made around the plants for watering. To prevent the shoots of planted roses from drying out and suffering from the approaching cold weather, the roses are covered with peat or soil with sand to a height of 20 cm. When the temperature drops to subzero temperatures roses are covered for the winter.

If rose seedlings have already been purchased and the deadline favorable landing expires, and the weather has suddenly deteriorated, there is no need to plant roses haphazardly, it is better to keep them buried in greenhouses, cold basements or storage facilities at zero temperature until spring. In open ground, seedlings are buried in a trench about 40 cm deep in a high area without stagnation melt water. Prepared rose seedlings are placed in a trench in an inclined position, sand is poured onto the root collars, and then the trench is tightly filled with earth. With the establishment of stable frosts, the seedlings are covered with spruce branches and covered with peat and snow on top.

Main varieties of roses for growing

Plant care can vary greatly depending on the variety. The main varieties of roses with their own characteristics are described below.

Park roses

Relatively unpretentious plants, undemanding to soil and care, tolerates both heat and frost. They bloom earlier than other roses, in late spring, flowering lasts about a month. There are several main groups: rose hips, garden roses and modern hybrids that differ as appearance, and the time of flowering.

climbing roses

Roses with long shoots growing around a fulcrum. Often used to decorate fences, gazebos, columns, and decorate building facades. They are divided into three groups according to height: semi-climbing up to three meters, climbing up to five meters, climbing up to 15 meters. When caring, it is important to prune faded shoots, as well as covering them for the winter.

Ground cover roses

Stand out for their diversity and abundant flowering. Ground cover roses capable of blooming until autumn, making them an excellent choice for suburban area or flower garden. One of the features is that it requires planting on a slope and on a hill to avoid flooding of flowers in the spring. This type of rose is unpretentious and does not require special care measures, except abundant watering after landing.

Tea and hybrid tea roses

Flowers with a magnificent scent and varied bud colors. Among the advantages of the variety, one can highlight repeated flowering and the outstanding qualities of the flower itself: powerful stem and bulb, varied color, smell; one of the disadvantages is low resistance to heat, frost, and disease. We do not recommend starting your acquaintance with growing roses with these flowers; they require ongoing care an experienced gardener.

If your previous attempts to grow these magnificent flowers in your garden have ended in failure, or this is your first time deciding to grow these majestic flowers, our article, based on advice from professionals, will help you achieve success and avoid annoying mistakes.

Having previously familiarized yourself with the huge variety of species and varieties of roses, you can go to a nursery or a specialized store to buy seedlings. You can, of course, order them in online stores, but then you will not be able to check what condition they are in. root system plants. And this is of great importance when landing.

Video about planting roses

Seedlings in stores are sold in containers or with an open root system. The first option is better to choose if you intend to plant flowers in the summer. If planting is planned for the spring or autumn months, you can safely buy seedlings with bare roots without leaves - they are presented in more wide range and are sold cheaper.

Buying roses in a container, see if it is densely filled with roots earthen lump, how many shoots there are on the bush, and what the foliage looks like. High-quality seedlings have a developed, well-branched root system, two or three strong woody shoots and green leaves without spots. And of course, no insects should be noticeable on the seedling.

In seedlings with exposed root system Also, the roots should be well branched, light-colored when cut, not dry or damaged. Buy seedlings with strong, glossy green shoots and shiny thorns. It is advisable that the seedling have at least three good escape, smooth and fresh to the touch. If the tips of the shoots seem a bit dry, spring time This is normal.

Seedlings in stores are sold in containers or with an open root system

Seedlings are also found in stores in thin cardboard packages with roots sprinkled with wet peat. In this case, the plants are planted in the ground without removing them from the packaging. However, be careful: in January-February, seedlings from nurseries in Holland and Poland, left over from the fall, are sold in imported paper containers. Such plants are already weakened long storage, and at home it will be even more difficult to preserve them until spring. Try burying the roots in a box and placing the roses on the balcony at above-zero temperatures or in the basement.

In flower shops, roses for planting are sold in a special container or without it, with an open root system. For planting in summer, it is better to choose the first option; it will take root faster. In spring or autumn, ordinary seedlings with bare roots: they are cheaper, and the choice of varieties among these roses is much larger.

When purchasing roses in a container, it is important to pay attention to the following details:

• how many roots does a seedling have in a coma of earth;
• are there any shoots, how many are there;
• appearance of foliage.

U good seedling you'll find an extensive, dense root system, a few firm shoots, and leaves that are an even, unblemished green color.

Bare-rooted seedlings must meet the same requirements. Look carefully at the roots - the cut area should be light and the roots themselves undamaged.

In stores you can find roses in cardboard packaging, ready for planting without removal. Such plants most often come from Holland and of Eastern Europe, weakened by long storage and transportation. If you decide to leave the rose in a box at home until spring, bury the roots in the box and take the plant out to the balcony or anywhere sunny place with positive temperature.

When to plant: autumn or spring

Without a doubt, autumn is the most optimal time for planting - seedlings planted in October have time to take root well before frost and immediately begin to actively grow in the spring. In addition, in the fall, nurseries offer a wide selection of grafted seedlings of various varieties, while in the spring, domestic and imported rose seedlings are significantly weakened after winter storage.

Autumn is the best time to plant roses

But keep in mind that rooted seedlings(obtained by cuttings), which are sold only in containers, cannot be planted in the fall! Their root system is not sufficiently developed, and under unfavorable conditions, the flowers will die in the first winter. Such seedlings can be transplanted from a container into the ground from May to mid-summer.

Preparing for landing

The best time It will be mid-autumn for planting: the seedlings have time to take root and begin to grow in the spring. Also in autumn more choice, while in the spring only plants weakened after storage remain on sale.

It is not recommended to use container seedlings in the spring - they are propagated by cuttings; a weak root system will not withstand spring temperature changes and will not survive the winter. Plants in containers are planted from May to July so that they have time to take root.

Rose is a capricious plant; when planting, consider the following factors:
The rose blooms best in a little shade far from large trees and places where water accumulates. The soil should be neutral: loamy soil should be fertilized with manure and sand, and mineral fertilizers should be added to sandy soil.

Best growing conditions

Unlike roses, you can’t plant them wherever you have to. As true queens of the flower garden, they should occupy the most the best place! When choosing where to plant seedlings, take into account the following important points:

• flowers grow poorly in the shade;
• “in the heat” their color fades and flowering ends faster;
• drafts and dampness are contraindicated for roses, and dry hot air can quickly spread spider mites on plants;
• It is not recommended to grow flowers under the crowns of trees, since the air remains damp there for a long time after rain, and raindrops fall from above at the slightest breath of wind.

Cold and damp loamy soil should be improved with rotted manure and sand.

It is better to plant roses in a place where at lunchtime a light openwork shadow will fall on the flowers, and water will not stagnate in the ground. Allowed occurrence groundwater no higher than one meter from the surface.

As for the soil, it should be neutral (in alkaline soil add high-moor peat, and add lime to the acidic peat), deeply drained and fertile. Cold and damp loamy soil should be improved with rotted manure and sand. Quick drying sandy loam soil In addition to manure, it is recommended to add stone flour and mineral fertilizers.

Brief instructions for planting roses

First of all, for each seedling you will need to dig a hole of such a size that the root system of the roses fits freely in it, and the roots do not break or bend. It is recommended to maintain a distance of 80 cm between pits, and one to two meters between rows.

When planting roses in the spring, the soil removed from the hole should be mixed with compost - it will be useful to the plants within a few weeks. During autumn planting organic fertilizers no need to enter.

You can prepare planting holes in advance to allow the soil to compact, but it is also possible to plant roses in freshly dug holes, and then dig them up a little and “pull them up” until required level.

Video about planting roses from cuttings

If for some reason you cannot immediately plant the purchased seedlings with bare roots, their roots can be dipped in water for several days or wrapped in damp burlap and wrapped plastic film. To preserve it for a longer period, the roots wrapped in film should be buried in a shallow groove, compacting the soil tightly.

Nuances of care

Roses, regardless of variety, require thorough watering two to three times a week in the morning or evening. Watering is carried out at the root, until the soil is completely saturated with moisture. At the beginning of autumn, in the absence of drought, roses stop watering to avoid the appearance of young shoots before the onset of winter.

When watering during the day, water that gets on the leaves can cause burns. The best time for watering is considered to be early morning or late evening, when the soil has dried a few centimeters deep.

It is important to carry out annual formative and rejuvenating pruning, removing stems three years old and above, clearing the plant of small shoots and non-flowering branches. Before the onset of winter, the bushes are hilled up and the branches are wrapped in paper.
