- winter shelter: the plant is able to withstand frosts up to 23 ° C, but it should be remembered that in snowless winters, as well as during temperature changes during thaws, the buds can be damaged. As a result, flowering will be weaker and will begin later;
- the rose does not clean itself well, so pruning of wilted flowers is required.
- before planting, it is necessary to think over the design of the support for the rose - the older the bush, the more difficult it is to hold it.
Landing
It is better to place the rose in a dry place, not heated during heavy rains. In Russian latitudes, it is preferable to plant a rose in a well-lit area, protected from strong winds and drafts.
The bush grows well on fertile, humus-rich soils. For the growth of the root system, it is important that the soil is air and moisture permeable. To do this, sand must be added to dense clay soils and loam.
The planting pit 50 - 70 cm deep is filled with the nutrient mixture necessary for rapid rooting:
- peat;
- vegetable compost;
- sod layer of soil.
The components are taken in equal proportions, 250 - 300 g of wood ash are added.
A climbing rose is planted with a slight slope, this makes it easier to lay the plant for the winter. It is recommended to deepen the graft by 10 - 13 cm. After planting, the soil around the rose is tamped and watered abundantly.
If you plan to plant several plants, a distance of 2.5 - 3 m should be provided between them.This is necessary so that the plants do not compete with each other, as well as to ensure air circulation inside the bush.
Pruning and tying
Depending on the choice of support, the shoots are fixed in a fan, arched, alternating directions. The main condition for stimulating profuse flowering is to lay the branches horizontally.
Up to 3 years old, only dry, damaged or diseased branches are removed from a rose. They begin to form a bush when the plant comes into force, gives out a full-fledged wave of flowering.
Shoots of the second and third order, after removing the faded buds, are shortened by 2/3. In the spring, thin side lashes and shoots older than 3 - 4 years old are removed. They bloom poorly and consume a large amount of nutrients.
Rosehip shoots can appear from the stock throughout the season, they can be recognized by their light color. Wildlife branches have 7 leaves, a cultivated rose has 5. Such shoots must be removed from the beginning of their growth.
Watering
