Optimal location

Elevated or flat areas should be preferred over groundwater contact points. Air humidity should be moderate, an excessively humid or dry climate will negatively affect the plant. There should be no drafts in the growing area.

Important! Low land is considered a bad place for planting - the plant will often hurt due to the accumulation of moisture after heavy rainfall and watering. Stagnant water will cause fungus to form.

Soil and flower preparation

The soil should be light, fertile and well-drained. With a strong soil density, it must be loosened: too clayey - loosened with humus and sand, a loose option - to compact with sawdust and compost.

The roots of the seedlings are dipped into water 3-5 hours before planting, where a growth stimulator is added - this way the rose will quickly take root in a new place.

Step-by-step instruction

Step by step algorithm:

The roots of the seedlings are pre-cut - the length of the rhizomes should not exceed 30 cm. Extra shoots are removed, you can leave 3-4 pieces.
Planting pits are located at a distance of 1.5-2 m from each other. They should be placed near the support or wall, but no further than 30 cm.The depth of the pit is 70-90 cm, the width is up to 70 cm.
A soil mixture is laid at the bottom: turf soil, sand, humus - 1: 2: 1. The iceberg will thrive on mineral fertilizing and wood ash.

Step-by-step plan for planting roses in spring

Care

Caring for a climbing rose is not difficult and does not require much attention. However, you should not ignore the most elementary rules so that the shrub always blooms magnificently.

Watering and moisture

The iceberg needs enough food and water. Watering is carried out exclusively at the root. Water should not fall on the leaves, otherwise the culture will receive sunburn on the leaf plates and shoots. The amount of watering is regulated by the state of the topsoil: it is necessary not to allow it to crack and dry out. Young plants are watered more often than mature plants. Air humidity should be moderate.

Important! Watering is done with warm water on cloudy days or in the evening.

Top dressing

Top dressing is carried out with the help of organic matter. They bring it in like mulch: a thin layer of fertilizer is laid out in the area of the trunk circle. When the decomposition process begins, top dressing will nourish the shrub.

Mineral fertilizers for roses

Compost,
Humus,
Dry peat.

In autumn, the mulch layer changes. In May, you can feed the rose with nitrogen, so the growth of green mass will be stimulated.

Additional Information! Nettle infusion (2 buckets of fresh nettles are soaked in 20 liters of water) perfectly replaces mineral complexes.

Pruning and replanting

The transplant is done in the fall if the culture begins to bloom poorly, or the rhizomes become cramped in the ground.

Wintering

Winter is not scary for Iceberg, but it is still necessary to insulate it for wintering: the shoots easily bend to the ground and are covered with spruce branches or a cardboard sheet. As it gets warm, the shelter is removed and the soil is slightly loosened so that oxygen can flow to the roots.

During and after flowering

Cuttings,
Seeds,
Layers,
Vaccination.
