Roses begin to bloom with what to feed. If you carry out all the necessary seasonal flower fertilizers, then

The rose is often called the "queen of flowers", which has settled forever not only in the garden, but also in the hearts of many people.

In order for roses to delight everyone around with their beauty for a long time, in order to develop normally, give abundant flowering, you need to take good care of them - feed regularly.

Roses are plants with a good appetite, so they need to be fed frequently.

What fertilizers are needed so that roses grow well and bloom?

Roses, like all plants (and especially in spring) need nitrogen. It is needed after pruning, for growth, for the formation of new shoots, in preparation for re-flowering. Nitrogen fertilizers can be applied during the entire growth and flowering period, but the deadline is early August.

Nitrogen is found in such fertilizers as urea, sodium humate, "Ideal", in all liquid organic top dressings.

Phosphorus is needed for roses for good, abundant flowering, for the maturation of strong shoots. Feed them plants from June to September. The source of phosphorus is superphosphate.

Potassium is needed during the period of budding and flowering and for preparing plants for winter. Feed roses and June to October with fertilizers such as sodium sulfate, potassium chloride.

If roses grow on acidic soil required calcium to neutralize. He is in wood ash, dolomite flour, slaked and unslaked

lime, chalk, etc.

Roses need trace elements throughout the growing season. So iron deficiency leads to the development of chlorosis, boron and manganese - to a decrease in immunity, and, accordingly, the risk of developing diseases increases. Purchase microelements in complex form in tablets in specialized stores, you can use Aquadon-Micro Agricola-Rosa, Agricola for flower plants or another complete complex fertilizer for flowers, which always contains trace elements.

In the first year after planting, three top dressings are enough.

The first is carried out two weeks after planting, the second in the middle of summer, the third - in early autumn. But, next year, the number of dressings should be doubled.

For 1 time, you should not give a lot of fertilizer, since the green mass (shoots and leaves) may intensively begin to develop in the rose, and flowering may not occur. Top dressing should be combined with watering.

The best fertilizer for roses is manure. You can use horse cow dung, bird droppings.

1 kg of manure is diluted in 10 liters of water, insisted for 3-4 days and the "treat" for roses is ready.

Those who do not have manure should not be sad. They will come to the rescue mineral fertilizers, and even better when mineral supplements are alternated with organic ones.

In the spring when it starts active growth, roses need nitrogen fertilizers, and when buds are formed, and then flowers - phosphorus. Closer to autumn, roses will also need a large amount of potash fertilizers to strengthen the immune system and prepare the plants well for winter.

When and how to feed roses?

Spring, the beginning of bud break.

Organic fertilizers: 1kg of manure for 10l of water, add 1st. l. urea. Under the bush - 4-5l.

For 10l - 1 tbsp. l. urea, 1 tbsp. l. granulated fertilizer Agricola-Rosa. Under the bush - 3-4l.

When leaves appear.

For 10l - 1 tbsp. nitrophoska, 1 tbsp. liquid fertilizer Agricola Rose. Under the bush - 3-4 liters.

When buds appear.

For 10l - 1st. l. potassium sulfate or superphosphate. Under the bush - 3l.

For 10l - 1 tbsp. l. potassium sulfate and fertilizer for flowering plants. Under the bush - 3-4l.

Bloom.

In 10 liters, dilute 0.5 liters of fermented liquid manure, 1 tbsp. l. superphosphate and nitroammofoski 3l under the bush.

Wood ash 1 glass under a bush.

For 10l - 2st. l nitrophoska, 1 tbsp. l. potassium sulfate, 1 tbsp. l. Agricola Rose. Under the bush - 3l.

After flowering - the second half of August.

For 10l - 2st. l. complex mineral fertilizer, which contains potassium, phosphorus and trace elements.

For 10l - 1 tbsp. l. potassium sulfate and superphosphate.

For 10l - 1 tbsp. l. liquid concentrated fertilizer Agricola - Rose, 1 tbsp. l potassium sulfate and superphosphate. Under the bush 3l.

The introduction of well-decomposed (but not fresh) manure or compost has a positive effect on roses. On sandy soil, they need to be applied in the spring,

and on clay - in the fall. Organic fertilizers are applied to a depth of 10-15 cm at a distance of 15-20 cm from the plant.

An important role for roses is played by mulching, which is done late autumn. It protects plants from hypothermia, overheating, drying out, in the spring it grows more intensively. root system. Roses are mulched with well-decomposed manure, humus, compost, peat.

Before fertilizing, the plants should be watered, and after fertilizing, loosening should be carried out.

Lyubov Petrova

Growing roses has always been considered a difficult task. The queen of the garden is whimsical, capricious, and does not grow in everyone and not everywhere. But at good care she will delight with her flowers even in a rather cool climate. Top dressing for roses is one of the main aspects of care that needs to be given the closest attention.

Planting roses

First of all, they prepare the land, it is best to do this in the fall. Roses love slightly acidified soil, this must be taken into account when filling the beds. The following composition has proven itself well (per 1 sq. M.):

• 5 liters of humus (preferably used);
• 5 l. riding;
• 5 l. river sand (for soil structuring);
• 5 l. yellow clay, which must be well dried and crushed before use.
• 40 g granulated.

Fertilizers for roses are evenly distributed over the surface of the soil, and dug along with it. You can do it differently - mix all the components in a separate container, adding a bucket to the specified proportion garden soil. The resulting soil is brought to a place previously prepared, cleared of grass, erecting high ridges. You can also use the planting pit method, this is more economical. In this case, fertilizers are applied to pre-dug holes, mixed there and sprinkled thin layer earth.

It is best to plant roses in a prepared bed in spring, when the soil warms up well. Over the summer, they will have time to take root, bloom and accumulate strength for the upcoming winter. autumn planting not recommended, as plants may not have time to form a normal root system before the onset of frost.

It is necessary to prepare for landing in advance. For 24 hours, cuttings or root suckers are placed in water, to which a growth stimulator can be added. After 10-12 hours, the plant is taken out of the nutrient solution and planted immediately.

Rose breeding

Where to get high-quality planting material is a question that gardeners decide to settle the queen of the garden on their site. It is best to buy fresh cuttings with an already formed root system. in nurseries and breeding farms. The second way is hypermarkets for giving, where you can choose flowers. But due to the specifics of online trading, when large volumes of products do not allow point tracking of each product, you can run into damaged planting material. Small shops and private traders do not guarantee the quality of the transfer of the variety in the products sold.

Roses can also be propagated independently by taking or buying zoned planting material from neighbors. Knowing how to cut and plant the queen of the garden, you can increase your own flower garden in just a couple of years at times. So how do roses reproduce? There are several main methods:

cuttings

You can prepare semi-lignified, lignified and green cuttings. In the first case, they take a shoot in the flowering stage, cut it off on both sides, leaving the middle part with 3 buds. The bottom sheet is removed completely. The lower cut of the handle is sharpened at an angle of 45 °. After that, it is soaked in a growth stimulator. You can use, for example, "Heteroauxin". Next, the cuttings are stuck into the bed, at a cut angle, and a mini-greenhouse is built above them. Young plants are covered for the winter, as they are still very weak. A full bush is formed two years after planting.

When growing roses from cuttings with a rigid structure (lignified), they are harvested in the fall. In March - April, they begin to "wake up" planting material. To do this, the cuttings are cut into segments of 10-12 cm, and lowered into the water for a day. After transplanted into the beds, at an angle, almost completely buried in the ground.

In this way, domestic roses can also be propagated. They will retain all varietal qualities on the new bush. Feeding home roses after transplantation should be moderate.

With green cuttings, the queen of the garden is propagated mainly in summer. Must be done before flowering begins. The cuttings are cut from the middle of the shoots, rooted in water with "Epin" or. Roots appear in 4-5 weeks. After that, a miniature bush is transplanted to permanent place. For the winter, the plant is covered for two years, until the bush comes into force.

By the way, there is another way to grow roses from cuttings. planting material can be taken in a gift bouquet. The growing technology is standard, the only difference is that the cuttings from the store need to be fed more carefully, they are used to it. Without additional doping, they may begin to "withdraw". They will wither without forming roots. Therefore, the dose of fertilizer should be reduced slowly, gradually returning the flowers to normal.

layering

The method is simple - the shoots are bent to the ground and pinned. The part of the stem that will be in contact with the surface of the bed can be slightly cleared with a knife, and it is advisable to loosen the ground at the point of contact. Grafted roses can also be propagated in this way, all varietal qualities will be preserved. In autumn, the bushes are divided, and next spring planted in a permanent place.

Vegetative way

Thus, garden roses are often propagated. Wild rose bushes are used as rootstock. In the first year, several branches are grafted with buds. spray roses. To do this, a T-shaped incision is made on the trunk, the bark is carefully pushed aside, and the prepared cut with the kidney is inserted into this pocket. Fix with adhesive tape or garden pitch. Remove half of the branches of the mother plant. Throughout the season, the wild rose bush is intensively fed.

If everything went well, and the grafted roses began to grow, then next year in the spring they complete the formation of the bush with a complete pruning of native branches to the very trunk. Open sections are covered with garden pitch.

Root offspring

Root suckers are usually used when planting wild species roses or their cultivated hybrids. Part of the young growth is separated along with elements of the common root system, and transferred to a new place. When planting, it is imperative to add nutrients to the pit, for example, organic or mineral fertilizers for roses.

seeds

This is a rather controversial and difficult method of reproduction. But in recent times many people try to use it. This happens due to the active sale by breeders from China of seeds of an unusually beautiful flowers that growers all over the world can't resist. Chinese roses amaze with their color solutions. They can be black with a red border, blue, green, multi-color.

Many are trying to get their hands on such beauty. But they are sold only by seeds, as the cuttings will not withstand a long postal shipment. Can roses be grown from seeds? Yes, but the result can be anything. Pro chinese roses they say that they sprout poorly, and if they sprout, then with very weak sprouts. M you can try to use growth stimulants, and further feeding of roses. There is a chance that it will be possible to support the seedlings and grow them before planting in the ground. After a month in the greenhouse, they begin to harden the plant, and young roses are carefully covered for the winter.

Feeding roses

This flower is so beautiful that breeders around the world are constantly developing new varieties, of which there are a great many. Since they belong to the same species, they are fed the same way. But there are some types of fertilizers that are used individually to solve local problems. various kinds roses. Below are the schemes of general and individual dressings.

The general scheme of feeding all types of roses

April

In the spring, immediately after preventive pruning, roses need to be fed. For this you can use , . These fats are diluted in warm water in the proportion of 1 tbsp. without top for 10 liters. About a liter of the prepared solution is brought under the bush.

If there is organic matter, then feed it. For example, you can use compost tea, which has a beneficial effect on the growth and development of the garden queen. It protects against pathogenic microflora, forming its own, useful for plants. For roses, it is best to use a daily distillation product. It is he who ideally restores the soil structure, which, in turn, has the most positive effect on the development of the root system.

May

In May, roses are fed only if there was no feeding in April. You can use Kemira spring, in accordance with the instructions for use. You can also use saltpeter, ammophoska, urea. If the land allows, organic fertilizers are applied. Along the entire radius of the hole, a furrow is drawn with a chopper, into which well-rotted cow dung is laid.

June

Buds are laid this month, so roses need to be fertilized several times. Solutions based on organic fertilizers - mullein, are very useful. They are sprayed with a grassy broom on the leaves of flowers in the evening. Tuki can also be used for foliar top dressing. An infusion based on potash fertilizers, such as saltpeter, potassium magnesia.

July

While the roses are in bloom, you can not touch them. BUT after flowering and pruning of buds, it is necessary to feed tired plants. For this, universal ones are used, for example, Kemira for roses (1 tablespoon per 10 liters). You can add liquid organic top dressing- from manure, manure or compost. doesn't hurt either. But you need to choose one thing, otherwise it will be too much.

August

This month, roses are fed with organic matter for the last time. Potassium and phosphorus can be used separately. Even in the last month of summer, it would be nice to replenish the balance of microelements by introducing them as a root top dressing. Bromine, iron, molybdenum, zinc and other “babies” of plant metabolism will help the rose to leave for the winter in a healthy state.

September

Phosphorus is key autumn fertilizer. Therefore, in September, superphosphate must be added to the soil. It will decompose all winter, turning into a quickly digestible form. Nitrogen should not be applied in autumn, as excess growth will not allow roses to go dormant in time. But they won’t interfere - they are quickly absorbed, and help strengthen the plant before the upcoming cold weather.

1. Shrub

These are the hardiest of roses. They are used where it is necessary to create large flowering volumes. Do not require special care. But they are responsive to top dressing, and after making nutrients show themselves in all their glory. They can be fed as described above. universal way but keeping in mind individual preferences. Shrub roses are divided into the following varieties:

1.1 Park

These are strong bushes with abundant flowering, sometimes reaching a height of 1.5 meters. They are actively used for landscaping large spaces. The most popular varieties are: "Abelzieds", "Greckham Thomas", "David Thompson".

For this species, mineral fertilizers for roses are traditionally used. Easiest to use ready mixes with a balanced composition. For example, the German firm Greenworld is very often used. Loose granules are brought under the root, and mixed with the ground. The dosage is selected in accordance with the instructions for use. Usually it depends on the age of the plant and the area it occupies.

1.2 Semi-climbing

These plants have a flexible stem - a vine. When landing, it is necessary to determine their place near the supports. Suitable arches, fences and high trellises. Tall showy shrubs look good in the background of flower beds, as well as the backdrop of lawns and lawns. For growing under conditions middle lane the following varieties should be preferred: "Ave Maria", "Berlin", "Hamburg".

These roses need enhanced autumn complex top dressing, since a large vegetative mass, even if it is partially cut off, does not tolerate wintering well. So in August climbing roses feed with complexes "Rose", "For roses", or NPK complex. For the winter, they must be covered with industrial insulation material.

2. Curly

2.1 Climbing

This is a great decoration. vertical structures can be found in any garden in the world, and not just in sunny Greece or cheerful Italy. But our gardeners will not lose face either. Beautiful climbing varieties have been decorating for many decades. garden plots in different regions our country. They are fed in a simple way - with nettle, horsetail and comfrey, ash, and manure. From ready-made fertilizers for roses, you can use the "4 barrels" tool.

2.2 Roses of Kordes

They are up to 2.5 meters high. They are highly resistant to fungus, which is very important for a plant that often grows along walls and fences. These climbing whips must be treated along the entire length with mineral fertilizer solutions that have the properties of light pesticides.

3. Curtain

3.1 Floribunda

Bushy rose, sometimes different sizes and heights. It is appreciated by gardeners, as it is unpretentious, frost-resistant and has a great smell. Blooms profusely and long. This group also includes patio roses (miniflora), which are excellent for point decoration of borders and low flower beds. These roses can be grown at home, in pots, throughout the year.

3.2 Grandiflora

This rose forms strong shrubs that are usually planted along the hedge. They can grow up to two meters in height, and bloom with large bright flowers.

When grown in the middle zone of our country, this species must be especially carefully prepared for wintering. The vines are pinned to the ground, having previously arranged a pillow of spruce branches, and covered with mulch, providing reliable protection by cold.

This type of roses prefers a slightly acidic soil reaction, (pH not higher than 6-6.5). To increase acidity, you can add high-moor peat, manure to the soil (a couple of months before planting). To regulate the level of slag in the soil-retaining complex, it is necessary to add dolomite flour or lime.

3.3 Hybrid Tea

These roses form the most lush inflorescences highest quality. The height of the stem ranges from 70 to 100 cm. They can be planted both in single groups and in the center of monocultural rabats, and also used for year-round forcing in greenhouses. It is these flowers that we most often buy in florist shops. The best varieties for the middle band are considered: "Nostalgia", "La Perla", "Beverly", "Parole", "Pink Paradise".

Hybrid tea varieties respond well to organic fertilizing. But you should not apply this fertilizer in the second half of summer, as the plant will increase the green mass at the expense of flower buds.

3.4 Polyanthus

These are multiflorous miniature plants with fairly large flowers. They form small curtains, completely strewn with buds. The advantages of this rose include excellent winter hardiness, disease resistance and a long flowering period. This species is also grown indoors. For feeding domestic roses use ready-made fertilizers for roses, for example, "Weave" or "ECOstyle" (Netherlands).

3.5 Ground covers

Since these flowers are too close to the ground, they are most often affected by fungal diseases. Therefore, urea will be very relevant as a top dressing for roses of this species. The fact is that this mineral fertilizer not only nourishes the plant with nitrogen, but also acts as a prophylactic against insect pests and various types of pathogenic microflora.

A solution of urea is used for foliar feeding of ground cover roses. To do this, 20 g of fat is dissolved in 10 liters of water, and the leaves of the rose are sprayed with the resulting composition in the evening.

Roses, regardless of type and variety, are beautiful, but not too adapted for life in our conditions. plants. Therefore, they need to be fed. But you don’t need to spoil it, it will greatly complicate life for both you and the roses. Overfed, they begin to fatten, forming beautiful green shoots without flowers. The plant is planted on doping, and without it it stops blooming. Therefore, the most important thing when feeding roses is moderation.

Recipe for beautiful and healthy rose bushes quite simple - loose soil, proper watering and timely top dressing, providing plants with the necessary nutrients.

Fertilization is not particularly difficult, but it is important for every gardener to know when and with what nutrients a rose is fed depending on the season.

Why feed roses?

Roses love abundant top dressing and nutrient soil saturated with mineral and organic fertilizers. If the plant is sick and blooms poorly, and its leaves have begun to deform or become stained, then the problem lies in the depleted soil.

You can correct the situation by timely introduction of nutrients that will ensure the health and full growth of the shrub. Thanks to top dressing, the rose will be able to better endure winters, and in summer it will thank with lush and fragrant flowers.

When should roses be fed?

AT spring period fertilizers are applied as early as possible, until the active growth of shoots and buds begins. Feeding begins with the establishment of good weather and is carried out both root and foliar. In summer, top dressing is started before bud formation and fertilized several times a season, paying special attention to the saturation of plants during flowering.

In autumn, experts advise feeding the rose twice: the first time in early September immediately after flowering, and the second time at the end of September or in the first half of October.

How to feed a rose in spring?

In spring, the choice of the type of top dressing largely depends on the age of the plants. If the rose was planted in the previous year, then best nutrition for her will be diluted organics. One part of bird droppings or mullein is mixed with three parts of water, and then the resulting slurry is diluted with water in a ratio of 1 to 10 and the bushes are watered.

More suitable for adult roses ammonium nitrate, which is applied to the soil at the rate of 20-30 grams for each square meter. With the establishment of heat after pruning, you can feed the plants with urea, which will allow them to better grow leaves. It also does not hurt to fertilize the rose with superphosphate, which affects flowering and photosynthesis.

Summer dressing roses

In summer, potassium and phosphorus should predominate in the composition of dressings, since the quality of the buds depends on them. Before the formation of flowers, the soil is watered with a solution of fertilizers, for which 10 grams of superphosphate and potassium sulfate are diluted in 10 liters of water. A similar top dressing is given in June, and in July, at the beginning of flowering, fertilizers are applied for the third time, but in this case a more nutritious complex is prepared.

10 liters of water are mixed with 500 grams of chicken manure, 10 grams of superphosphate and 10 grams of nitrophoska, after which the bushes are watered. Additionally, a glass of ground wood ash can be added to the soil under each plant.

What fertilizers are given to roses in the autumn?

Lush flowering requires a significant consumption of nutrients, so after the end of the growing season, roses need to restore the balance of minerals. It should be borne in mind that at this time the plants have a dormant period, so nitrogen fertilizers should be excluded.

The best option would be a solution of 10 liters of water, a tablespoon of superphosphate and the same amount of potassium sulfate. Under each bush, you will need to pour 4-5 liters of the resulting mixture.

Recently, some gardeners prefer natural dressings and fertilize roses. folk remedies. Good results gives a solution of yeast, which increases the percentage of survival rate of cuttings and strengthens the root system.


To prepare it, 50 grams of fresh yeast (or 1 gram of dry) is diluted per liter warm water, add a teaspoon of granulated sugar and leave for several hours. Then the solution can be diluted with water and water the plants with it.

During the season, it is enough to carry out three such top dressings - in spring, summer and autumn, combining yeast fertilizer with the introduction of wood ash or eggshells.

Top dressing of roses is a very important agrotechnical moment in the life of these beautiful flowers, if they are not provided with enough necessary elements, there will be a lag in growth and flowering, loss decorative look the plants will start to hurt. Exist various fertilizers, options for their use, in order to feed rose bushes.

Feeding roses - why is it needed?

Growing roses is not an easy task, the flower is capricious, not everyone can do it. One of the main conditions for care is top dressing, which should be given Special attention, depending on the season and growth cycle to make different types fertilizers. Knowing the best way to feed roses in the summer or autumn-spring period, you can prepare several types of fertilizers (organic and mineralized complexes) in advance, which affect the growth and full development of the plant in different ways:

• nitrogen- accelerates the growth of leaves and shoots;
• phosphorus- promotes abundant flowering and easy wintering;
• potassium, iron- help to retain water, resist diseases;
• trace elements- strengthen the rose;
• organic- "feed" the bush with various useful elements.

How to properly feed roses?

Feeding roses, like all flowering plants, occurs throughout the year in several stages. After spring preventive pruning, nitrogen and organic fertilizers for roses should be introduced into the soil. Summer application of various fertilizer complexes is carried out three times:

• in June, during the period of laying buds;
• in July, after flowering, to maintain "tired" plants;
• in August to replenish and balance the micronutrient supply.

In autumn in September, it is imperative to feed roses using a plant that can slowly decompose and be absorbed by the plant throughout the winter. Potassium, which is quickly absorbed by the plant, will help strengthen the rose before the upcoming cold weather. But the introduction of nitrogen in the fall is categorically unacceptable, as it will lead to excessive growth, and will not allow the plant to find a state of rest in time.

Spring dressing of roses

Abundantly flowering bush roses are the dream of every gardener, for this the land must be fertile, with fertilizers added to it even before subsidence. In the spring, when planting roses, pour humus into the bottom of the prepared pits with a layer of 5 cm. Dig the seedlings prepared two weeks before planting with a mix of earth, superphosphate, potassium salt and humus. Fertilizer for roses in the spring can be applied in April-May, use saltpeter, nitrogen, phosphorus, organic matter for this. Draw a groove around the hole, in which lay the rotted mullein, which is an excellent top dressing for roses.

Feeding roses in summer

Top dressing of roses in the first summer month, during the formation of buds, is carried out chicken manure, or green fertilizers prepared in the form of solutions (when dry, they can burn the roots of plants). Organics will attract earthworms that loosen the soil. Fertilizers for roses in summer, in July, when the plants have faded and are pruned, are necessary with large quantity phosphorus or potassium, so you can use purchased, universal complexes of mineral fertilizers. warm evenings, especially after rain, spray special nutrient solutions on the leaves.

How to feed roses for growth?

So that the rose does not lag behind in growth, pleases long flowering She needs annual feeding. The absence of any elements can lead to poor development and loss of decorative appearance. Knowing how to feed roses in the spring for growth, using desired views fertilizers, adhering to the principles of their correct application into the soil, you can get a spectacular, beautiful plant.

Nitrogen is necessary for the growth of roses, dense foliage and developed buds, it is applied in spring and early summer. In order for the rose bush to grow well, develop, strengthen the root system, phosphorus and potassium are needed. The main rule when applying these fertilizers is not to overdo it, an excess of these substances can lead to leaf fall, cessation of plant development and growth.

How to feed a rose after planting?

Roses planted in spring, in fertile, well-prepared soil, saturated with fertilizer, do not require summer and autumn top dressing. In the first year, you need to give them the opportunity to take root and grow. Only by noticing that the plants develop poorly, their young shoots are bent, the leaves turn yellow, you can support the roses with top dressing from low-concentrated mineral, phosphorus-potassium fertilizers or organic matter.

Feeding roses after planting in the fall, preparing it for the winter cold, occurs with the help of fertilizers that will help them: protect themselves from diseases, strengthen the wood of the bushes, and stimulate further growth. For these purposes, it is best to use

• potassium (sulphate or chloride), potassium magnesia;
• simple or double superphosphate;
• calcium (found in wood ash, slaked lime, dolomite flour, chalk).

Feeding roses during budding

For roses, timely top dressing, consisting of properly selected elements, is very important. The list of what to feed roses during and after budding includes effective means, based on potassium:

• saltpeter;
• potassium salt;
• potassium chloride;
• potassium sulfate.

During budding, lack of potassium can cause various diseases or poor flowering. During this period, nitrogen-containing dressings should not be used, they will only lead to the rapid growth of greenery and shoots, but not to an increase in the number of buds. An effective top dressing at this time will be a diluted infusion of chicken manure (0.7-1 liter of infusion per 9-10 liters of water) or wood ash sprinkled around the bush.

What to feed blooming roses?

For roses to bloom profusely experienced growers it is advised to keep a balance between fertilizers (mineral and organic), without giving preference to one of these types, and also to use foliar types of top dressing. Top dressing of roses during flowering is not always necessary, in this matter the plant variety and an individual approach to it play an important role, there is room for experimentation.

The most the best top dressing roses during flowering, as at any other time, it is manure. The development and flowering of roses is positively influenced by herbal infusions with the addition of peat, good compost, they serve to flowering plant excellent sources of nutrition, enriching the soil with humus, improving its composition. Organic improves the absorption of minerals, so the best way out is their combination.

How to feed roses for abundant flowering?

At different times of the year garden plants different nutrients are required, therefore, how and with what to feed roses in spring for lush flowering, needs to be addressed according to the growth cycle. In the spring, the rose requires top dressing for the active development of new shoots, strengthening the roots and, as a result - good flowering. Phosphorus is best suited for these purposes (it depends on how many flowers appear on the bush), ideal option will be its combination with potassium and nitrogen.

Top dressing for garden roses - ways

The choice of fertilizers for garden roses is huge, there are two ways to use them: root dressing and foliar. To understand what kind of dressing roses like, apply both of these methods, and look at the result, it manifests itself individually, depending on the growing conditions and variety. Using root dressing, water the plant with a liquid solution immediately after rain or watering if the soil is wet so as not to burn the roots of roses. For foliar feeding, use herbal infusions, spray in cloudy weather, so the composition will last longer on the plants.

Feeding roses with yeast

In order for roses to grow "by leaps and bounds", use a yeast solution as a top dressing and stimulant in April-May, and from the second half of June, after flowering begins. Before fertilizing roses with yeast, make sure that the soil has warmed up, the fungus will not develop in cold soil. Beneficial effect yeast will have on the following areas:

• stimulate active growth;
• ensure the formation of a powerful, healthy root system;
• provide the fastest rooting during disembarkation;
• reduce the likelihood of disease.

Yeast top dressing - the first remedy as a fertilizer when planting in open ground rose cuttings. To awaken the cuttings, soak them in a yeast solution, and only then proceed to planting. Yeast has a great effect on the vegetation of roses, but there is a danger of overfeeding the plants. To avoid oversaturation, use this top dressing when transplanting, and a couple of times in the summer.

How to feed roses with mullein?

Mullein is a complete fertilizer, because it contains the whole complex of minerals necessary for growing roses:

• nitrogen;
• phosphorus;
• potassium;
• calcium;
• magnesium;
• zinc;
• copper.

Overripe mullein is great as spring fertilizer for roses, it can be applied to the soil, preparing it for planting, or directly into the holes (in a diluted form). Bring fresh mullein into the soil in the fall, when digging, so that until spring it burns out (rotted) and does not burn the roots of roses. The first feeding of roses with mullein can be done after the spring pruning of the bushes, then before flowering, and one more in early August. After such procedures, a crust appears on the ground that prevents the roots from breathing, loosen it along with the ground.

How to feed roses with chicken droppings?

When wondering whether it is possible to feed roses with chicken droppings, it is important to know that this fertilizer is in fresh toxic and concentrated, it must be used very carefully. At correct use there will be no harm to the plant, and the benefits are obvious. When using this top dressing, the growth of bushes is significantly accelerated, the buds become larger, flowering is observed 2-3 times a season.

The best time to apply chicken manure in the form of humus, with straw or foliage added to it, is autumn. Use diluted chicken manure during active flowering, but not more than three times per season. The results of using this fertilizer are noticeable after a few days, after it is applied to the soil, the plant begins intensive growth and development. Water solution made at the rate of 1:15 (more concentrated can burn the roots of roses), applied directly under the roots, in abundantly moistened soil.

How to feed roses with ashes?

The ash is a "food additive" for roses, being multifunctional, it will help in the development and growth of the plant and in the fight against pests. Especially good is the alternation of fertilizing with diluted ash (1 cup per 10 liters of water) and organic matter ( bird droppings, mullein), use the ashes in combination with compost or with a decoction of herbs. When giving advice on how to feed a rose in the garden, you can refer to the experience of our ancestors, they used manure, compost, wood and bone ash. Ash concentrates in itself all trace elements, make it better in spring when planting, in the fall it is washed out.

Feeding roses with ammonia

Ammonia is effective top dressing roses, due to the high content of nitrogen in it, which is necessary for plants, like bread for people. Such top dressing is often one of the best, even superior to organic. A solution is used as a fertilizer, which can be made by adding 25 ml of ammonia for root dressing or 1 tsp to 10 liters of water. per 1 liter of water for foliar feeding, which is produced early in the morning, at sunset, in cloudy weather.

The best fertilizer for roses, which experienced flower growers trust, is still manure or humus, complex, balanced purchased feed mixtures have proven to be convenient and effective, they are effective and convenient. Ammonia is also recognized as a simple, affordable and effective fertilizer that promotes the growth, protection and flowering of roses.

AT different time roses need different nutrients during the season, so we need to correlate feeding with growth cycles. How to properly and how to feed a rose so that they look really royal.

It is necessary to feed roses in time for splendor and rapid growth in the garden...

As a rule, in the spring she needs nitrogen fertilizers for growth, during the flowering period she needs potassium. During the entire growing season - phosphorus, iron, magnesium, boron, manganese. Let us consider in more detail all the periods of fertilizing for a garden rose.

The first most important point is fertilizer when planting

There is a widespread belief that you need to fertilize directly into the hole before planting a rose. This is not entirely correct. The soil, of course, must be fertilized, but if you fertilize directly into landing pit, then a rather aggressive environment is created there and young roots simply cannot cope with it.

The soil on the site for planting roses must be prepared in advance. Best suited for this organic fertilizer, well-rotted manure, rich compost, peat. Heavy soil can be mixed with sand and organic matter, sandy soil put some clay and organic matter.

It's a good idea to add some ashes that have burned out from tree crops. In addition to being a good disinfectant, preventing the formation of rot and wounds, ash has a rich set of useful substances.

We carefully lay out all the fertilizer components on the intended site, then dig deep, mixing well with the ground to the very bottom.

If the pit is well filled with all the necessary nutrients, then we do not feed the roses in the first year of planting. They form new tender roots that are easy to burn.

If the pit was not prepared, in the spring we feed the rose only with organic substances and make the solution weaker. Meanwhile, young roses can be fed with growth stimulants, such as sodium humate. For a successful wintering at the end of summer, phosphorus and potassium will be needed.

The next important period for top dressing is spring ...

In the spring, the shoots begin to grow actively, especially after pruning, flowers develop, buds are tied, and more than ever, the rose requires nutrients. It is best to feed with phosphorus and nitrogen fertilizers in the spring.

The source of nitrogen is ammonium nitrate, urea or urea, liquid organics. Double superphosphate, superphosphate, ammophos - are a source of phosphorus, which contributes to the formation of strong shoots, the intensity and quality of flowering. Growth stimulants, sodium humate - they are used as an addition to the main top dressing.

It should be borne in mind that superphosphate contains some nitrogen and if you fertilize together, then urea should be slightly reduced. Phosphorus (superphosphate) is applied from May to September.

We make a small circle around the rose bush, retreating 10-15 cm, a little further than her root system ends. The right amount, about 10 grams of each fertilizer is scattered around the entire near-trunk circle (hole). After top dressing has been made, they must be gently mixed with the ground. Cover the hole accordingly, mulch.

Gradually dissolving in water, precipitation, irrigation, this fertilizer will act beneficially. The rose begins to grow actively, lay buds, gain green mass well, develop new shoots and twigs.

Since the main bait of the plant is done in the spring, it is good to combine mineral fertilizers with rotted manure, compost, while spreading it over the hole. This way your plant will receive all of it. necessary set useful elements.

Effective use of complex fertilizers...

For those who doubt that the plant will receive the entire set of necessary trace elements, complex mineral dressings for roses are specially produced. In the spring, it is very good to fertilize plants with them, having previously familiarized themselves with the composition.

For example, "Kristallin", "Kemira" (spring) are suitable. We bring it in liquid (1 tablespoon per 10 liters of water) or dry form (40 grams per 1 sq.m.).

When purchasing any complex fertilizers, you should pay attention not so much to the label, but to the composition, marked (spring or autumn).

For roses in spring, an equal percentage of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium is better. If phosphorus predominates in the composition, then this is acceptable for a rose, since this element contributes to the growth of the root system and abundant flowering.

If the composition is dominated by an element that is this moment inadmissible (potassium), it is better to choose for spring feeding another fertilizer with a high nitrogen content.

Application of dressings at the time of budding and flowering.

Uses very actively useful material when a rose blooms, and she needs a lot. But during this period, the emphasis is not on nitrogen. New shoots grow from nitrogen fertilizers and by winter they do not have time to form, which is why they freeze in winter.

Potassium is used more - potassium nitrate, potassium salt, potassium sulfate without chlorine (potassium sulfate), potassium chloride. Such feeding is necessary for roses during their budding and flowering, as well as in preparation for winter.

With a lack of potassium, plants get sick, therefore, for prevention, potassium-phosphorus supplements are recommended (100 grams of superphosphate plus 30 grams of potassium sulfate per 10 liters of water). Potassium together with phosphorus affect the abundance of flowering and even color. It is especially good to feed roses during the budding period.

Fertilizers can be applied to trunk circle(hole) and spray, making foliar top dressing between the main ones. Choose a cloudy day for this or in the evening when the sun is setting.

Closer to autumn, so that the rose can prepare for winter and the shoots are well ripened, so that the root system is sufficiently developed, we feed the plant with phosphorus and potassium. At the end of summer, we exclude nitrogen from dressings.

On manure, a rose literally blooms.

The most delicious fertilizer for garden roses is, of course, rotted manure, good compost, herbal infusions, peat. All these organic top dressings have a great effect on the development of roses and can be used at any time.

Organics are used as mulching, in the spring they lay near the bushes. This will simultaneously protect the land from the appearance of weeds, serve as a source of nutrition and enrich the soil with humus, improve its composition.

Organic substances improve the absorption of minerals and are best combined. Useful after every mineral supplement water roses with the addition of organic matter.

All fertilizers are applied in liquid form (about 3-4 liters per bush). Before feeding garden rose, the earth must be watered.

Dry dressing of roses is possible only after abundant watering. You can not pour into the center of the bush, you need to retreat 10-15 cm.

Do not forget about loosening the soil, mulching with peat (5-7 cm) in the fall, after spring or summer pruning.
