Plant care
Rose Black Baccara requires careful care: timely watering, fertilizing, mulching the soil. In order for the plant to bloom again, cut off the faded shoots. In the northern regions, the bushes need to provide shelter for the winter.

Pruning and replanting
In the spring, the shoots are cut off dramatically, leaving no more than 3 buds. During the summer, the stems with faded buds are cut. In the fall, branches that have not had time to ripen are removed. Trimming is done with a sharp tool at an angle of 45 °. The bushes are transplanted in spring or autumn into prepared pits.
Flower wintering feature
In the fall, foliage and other plant residues are removed from the trunk circle, then the bush is spud with humus. The fertilizer will warm the root system in winter. If necessary, a wire frame is made, on which a covering material is thrown. Roses are covered only after stable frosts come.
Blooming rose
The bushes bloom several times per season. During the flowering period, as well as after it, careful plant care is required. With proper agricultural technology, a second wave of flowering will quickly come.
A period of activity and rest
The Black rose blooms in June and lasts for 2-3 weeks. Then comes a short period of rest, followed by the next wave of flowering. After the faded buds begin to fade, they must be removed. On the remaining shoots, dormant lateral buds will wake up, from which new flowers will quickly grow.
Care during and after flowering

- Improper care. If the bushes are not watered on time, fertilized, and prevented from spraying against diseases and pests, the rose may weaken. With the resumption of care, the plant increases immunity, it begins to bloom.
- Root growth. If, when planting, the rose is not buried 3-5 centimeters, shoots may begin to form, taking moisture and nutrition from the bush. If it does form, it is cut as close to the root system as possible.
Flower propagation

Cuttings
Propagation by cuttings is carried out as follows:
- shoots are cut 15 centimeters long at an angle of 45 °;
- the places of the cuts are powdered in the powder of the growth enhancer;
- a drainage layer is poured into the container, then fertile, loose soil;
- the cuttings are placed in the ground, lightly watered, the container is covered with foil.
The grown bushes are planted on the site next year.

Cuttings are cut into 15 centimeters long
