Growing

Rose Juliet is grown simply. You can land on your own, the main thing is to know all the conditions and rules.

Planting is best done in the form of a seedling, since the seeds, if they do sprout, will no longer have all the features of the mother plant.

Optimal time and place

The best landing place will be the southern side of the territory, where there is a fence and an outbuilding nearby. By time, you can choose April or September.

Flower and soil preparation

The seedling must be prepared a day before planting: cut the root system a little and put it in water for 24 hours.

In the required place, a hole is dug in a depth and width of about 50 cm.Compost and humus are placed on the bottom, after that - a layer of soil. Moistens abundantly with water. If the landing will take place in the spring, then in the fall, before wintering, the soil should be fertilized.

Step by step procedure

After the seedling and the soil are prepared, the planting can be done:

• The seedling gently plunges into the hole, the roots must be straightened.
• The soil is poured and compacted a little.

• Drizzle lightly with water. As with any rose, stagnation of moisture in the soil of culture is dangerous.

Care issues

After planting, the rose needs full care throughout the season. It is necessary to water it in a timely manner, loosen the soil and introduce top dressing.

Watering and humidity

Watering should not be plentiful, but the soil should not be allowed to dry out. As a rule, it is carried out once every 2-3 days, more often in the summer. The plant does not need to be sprayed.

Top dressing and soil

The soil must be loosened without fail, otherwise the root system will not be able to receive all the necessary trace elements and moisture.

With the onset of spring and until July, top dressing is introduced 2 times a month, in rare cases - 3 times. The last time the fertilizer was introduced was in August.

Pruning and replanting

After planting in the first year, all the buds must be removed from the shrub so that the roots develop better, and all the energy goes into their growth.

Those shrubs that have reached a year or more are cut in half, and the younger ones - in the spring and before wintering.

In the summer, pruning of broken, diseased branches is allowed. The device must be treated with a solution of potassium permanganate. Subsequently, trimming is necessary only to shape the shrub. The transplant is carried out 2-3 years after planting in open ground.

Wintering

In harsh climatic conditions (below 15 degrees), it is necessary to cover the bush before wintering:

• The base of the plant is sprinkled with soil and trampled down,
• The stems are laid on the prepared boards,
• Insulation is sprinkled on top.

Bloom

The rose blooms in June and lasts until early September. It is repeated.

Periods of activity and rest

During the period of activity, buds are tied and bloom at the beginning of summer. All the buds open at the same time, but slowly.

After flowering in late August and early September, the inflorescences are removed, and the shrub is prepared for wintering.

Care during and after flowering

After wintering, pruning is carried out for more abundant further flowering. Top dressing is introduced until the end of August 2 times a month. During bud setting - nitrogen, after - phosphorus-potassium. After the buds have faded, no fertilizing is necessary.

Why does not it bloom

If the shrub has ceased to delight with lush flowers, then, most likely, it does not receive enough sunlight or is affected by a disease.

In this case, a transplant is carried out to a more optimally illuminated place. If the roots of a shrub are affected by a fungal disease, then the plant is destroyed.

Reproduction

Propagated by cuttings or seed.

Cutting process in autumn

Seed propagation is a laborious process that requires certain care and growing conditions. Therefore, it is used only by experienced florists.

Step-by-step process of grafting:

1. Cuttings are cut when they have open buds - in the summer.
2. Pruning is best done in the morning when the branches are full of moisture.
3. The knife must be sharp and treated with a disinfectant.
4. Having chosen suitable strong, strong shoots, it is necessary to make the lower cut immediately under the bud, and the upper cut 2 cm higher.
5. Remove the leaves by a third to retain more moisture.
6. Then put in a special container with water so that the cutting begins to take root. Cover with a plastic cover on top and be sure to ventilate daily. The container should not stand in the shade.

7. Once the cuttings are rooted, they can be planted outdoors.

Diseases and pests

The plant is very disease resistant, but can sometimes be attacked by powdery mildew and black spot. In such cases, in the spring, the shrub should be sprayed with "Fitosporin" (7 ml per 1 liter of water). Affected leaves and branches must be removed and burned.

Aphids, scale insects and caterpillars can be distinguished from pests. It is necessary to deal with them using biological methods (this is a treatment with a solution of laundry soap or specialized solutions), you can also plant a number of protective plants (for example, marigolds) that will scare away insects.
