Raising roses as never seen

Roses are undoubtedly one of the most emblematic and popular flowers in gardening. Their beauty and fragrance make it a precious addition to any garden. If you want to raise roses in an innovative way, here are some tips to guide you.

Choice of rose varieties

  • Choose varieties of roses adapted to your region and climate. Some varieties prefer warm climates, while others can better withstand cold weather.
  • Choose regular flowering roses to enjoy beautiful flowers throughout the season.
  • Prefer disease-resistant varieties to reduce the necessary care and enjoy healthy roses.

Soil and location preparation

  • Roses prefer a well drained soil rich in organic matter. Improve soil by adding compost and manure before planting.
  • Choose a sunny location for your roses, as they need several hours of direct sun a day to thrive.
  • Make sure to space the roses to promote good air circulation and prevent fungal diseases.

Watering and fertilization

  • Water your roses regularly, especially during dry periods. Make sure you don’t leave the floor too wet to avoid rot.
  • Fertilize your roses with balanced fertilizer in early spring and after the first flowering to promote healthy growth and abundant flowering.

Rose maintenance

  • Cut your roses in early spring to remove dead wood and promote vigorous branching.
  • Monitor signs of disease or pests and act quickly to treat them.
  • Regularly remove faded flowers to encourage new blooms.

How to make rose cuttings

Pink cuttings are an effective way to spread your favorite roses and get new plants. Here’s how to make rose cuttings successfully:

  • Choose a healthy and vigorous rose to take cuttings. Draw cuttings 15-20 cm long from non-flowering stems.
  • Remove the leaves from the bottom of the cutting and cut the stem in a bias just below a knot
  • Soak the end of the cutting in cutting hormone to promote rooting.
  • Plant the cutting in a mixture of light soil and water slightly. Place the cutting in a bright place but away from the direct sun.
  • Keep the soil moist but not wet and protect the cutting from temperature variations.
  • After a few weeks, you should see new roots. Once the cutting is well rooted, you can transplant it into a pot or directly into the ground.
