Growing a flower, how to plant it in open ground
Planting roses Bombastic is carried out with the help of seedlings and seeds, which must be prepared in advance. Planting is carried out in the spring, when the soil has already warmed up enough.
Location selection
This plant needs a well-lit place, light partial shade is acceptable. The appearance of drafts and gusts of wind is unacceptable. When choosing a place, you should pay attention to neighboring plants.
How to prepare the soil and flower for planting
The ideal soil for this rose is considered to be loam, saturated with oxygen and nutrients. Throughout the season, the soil must be loosened and cleaned of weeds.
Planting with seedlings is no different from other varieties. But the Madame Bombastic rose is often grown using seeds. They are placed in a refrigerator for a couple of days for stratification. Then the seeds are placed on a cotton pad soaked in hydrogen peroxide and removed to a dark place with an air temperature of no more than + 18 ° C. After the sprouts appear, they are planted in a container with soil or in a peat tablet. Now they need watering and sufficient lighting. The temperature should be around + 20 ° C. Further, the seedlings are planted in the ground in the spring.
Planting procedure step by step
Planting seedlings is simple, almost the same as for other roses:
- we dig a hole 40 cm deep;
- we lay out a drainage layer of gravel or crushed stone (8 cm) in it;
- then place a layer of fertilizers (8 cm);
- we fall asleep garden soil;
- we place a seedling in the hole so that the soil covers the root collar by 3-5 cm;
- we compact and moisten the soil under the seedling.
Plant care
Bush rose Lady Bombastic is a moisture-loving plant. The amount of water directly depends on the size of the bush.
Watering rules and humidity
The main thing is that the soil is moist, but not waterlogged.
Watering should be done after sunset to avoid burns and burnout around the edges of the buds.
Top dressing and soil quality
The soil for the Bombastic rose should be well fertilized with nitrogen fertilizers (saltpeter, urea). This will accelerate growth and ensure abundant flowering. With the onset of autumn, the plant needs potash and phosphorus fertilization.
Pruning and replanting
Bush pruning is carried out twice a year. In spring, old shoots and branches damaged after wintering are removed. In autumn, the rose undergoes sanitary pruning: weak, diseased and damaged branches are removed. This will preserve the decorative effect of the bush and improve the formation of young shoots.
If the conditions of the growing site no longer meet the standards or the bush needs to be moved to another place, transplantation will help. It is held in early spring, before the buds have blossomed. Otherwise, the growing season of the plant will be disrupted and it may start to hurt and will not produce stunning flowering.
To begin with, dig a hole 45x45 centimeters. Next, a drainage layer, garden soil and fertilizers are placed there. A carefully dug plant is planted in a hole, buried and watered. If several bushes are transplanted, then the distance between them should be half a meter.

Blooming rose
Rose Lady Bombastic blooms all season. To avoid any problems, you need to follow the rules of care.
Care during and after flowering
Before flowering, you need to fertilize and shorten some branches. With the beginning of flowering, feeding stops, because the process of dying off of flowers can accelerate.
What if it doesn't bloom? Possible reasons
- perhaps little time has passed since landing. Flowering begins only from season 2;
- unsuitable soil with a lack of fertilizer. You should transplant or feed;
- lack of moisture. The irrigation schedule should be revised;
- incorrect pruning of branches after wintering. We'll have to wait for next fall and do everything right;
- the rose froze in winter. Only leaves will appear on the bush, and you need to wait for flowering next year. To avoid this again, shelter should be organized.
Reproduction
Propagation by cuttings. This procedure is carried out in spring or summer. For propagation of the Lady Bombastic rose, ordinary cuttings are used.
Procedure:
- several hard shoots are selected. The top is cut off, and then cuttings with 2-4 internodes are cut;
- cuttings are planted at an angle in the greenhouse. Stored in the shade, moisturized and watered;
- the resulting flowers will be removed so that the plant takes root better;
- with the onset of winter, the cuttings are transplanted into pots and stored in a cool, dark room. With the onset of spring, they are transplanted into the ground.
Diseases and pests
From the side of insects, the plant attacks aphids.To combat these pests, insecticides are suitable. It is very important to immediately notice the problem in order to eradicate it in time. After 2-3 weeks, the insecticide treatment should be repeated
Cytosporosis often affects the rose. As a result of this disease, the shoots dry out and the plant dies. An annual treatment of the bush with 3% Bordeaux liquid is required. It is very difficult to cure this disease, so it is better to remove the bush and burn it.
Bacterial cancer is the most dangerous disease. It is characterized by growths on the root system. If there are not very many of them, then they are cut off with a knife, and the places of the cuts are processed with crushed coal. If the plant is badly damaged, then it will have to be removed.
The Bombastic rose is rarely damaged by gray rot, but if this happens, then it should be treated with Fitosporin, Mikosan or Planriz in accordance with the instructions.
Rose Bombastic is a rather finicky plant. But if you find the right approach to it, then this miniature bush will delight for many years with its flowering and aroma.
