Landing
Planting method is identical for all varieties. First you need to choose the right place. It should be well lit and protected from drafts. Avoid areas with high groundwater levels. The best option - southeast garden area.
It is advisable to plant small trees or bushes next to the roses. They will save flowers from excessive ultraviolet radiation and drafts. The ideal soil for all roses is loamy and light. To ease the “heavy” ground, compost, sand and ash are added to it, and humus and clay are added to the “light” soil. Before planting, you must wait until the soil becomes warm. These hybrids do not tolerate cold soil. It is better to plant roses in early May. Seedlings can be purchased before, but in this case, you must be able to properly save them until planting. Dip them in wet sand and take them to the basement or place them in the ground and put them on the windowsill.
Before planting, trim the roots, check the location of the cut - it should be white inside. Then the seedlings are immersed in water for 30 minutes and only after that they are planted. Depending on the climate, hybrids are grown both indoors and outdoors. Before planting, the soil is poured over with water in which a growth activator tablet is dissolved (they are sold in stores for gardeners or flower shops). Then the roots are dug into the dug hole and covered with earth, periodically shaking the bush, and the soil is thoroughly compacted.
Hilling

Therefore, the first five buds necessarily break off. This is done to strengthen and strengthen the root system. Only after the bush reaches 50 cm in height, it is given the opportunity to bloom.
Bloom

If you need flowers for a bouquet, remember that you can immediately cut no more than 2 flowers from one bush.
Watering

Use water from the tap can not. Suitable rain or thawed. Try to pour a thin stream at the very root, as droplets on the leaves can cause fungal diseases.
Pruning
Infected and dead (frozen out) parts must be deleted. This is done in order to avoid the spread of the disease. Spring pruned stems when buds reach 8 mm. In stunted species, 15 buds leave 4 buds on the shoots, in tall varieties - 8 buds with a length of 30 cm. This is done in the spring. In the summer, wilted flowers are constantly removed, and in the fall - those shoots that have not ripened and disappeared, as well as all affected.
Top dressing
Roses are fed 3 times: in the spring - to stimulate growth, in the summer - for normal adaptation after planting and in the fall - to accumulate the necessary substances before wintering. Constantly can be fertilized with minerals with phosphorus, potassium, magnesium.
Diseases
