Growing a flower, how to plant it in open ground
To achieve a lush and long-lasting flowering of the Hybrid Tea Rose High Magic, it is necessary to take into account many features.
The culture should be planted in the form of seedlings - it is better to purchase them in proven nurseries. In this case, it is important to pay attention to the choice of planting material.
The High Magic rose should be planted in late May or autumn. In the second case, it is important to do this in mid-September - before the onset of frost.
Many gardeners have learned from personal experience that the culture develops best in sunny areas that are reliably protected from the wind. Seedlings should be placed on slopes no more than 7 degrees. Otherwise, the development of the rose is disrupted.
In order for the rose to develop well, a drainage layer should be laid on the bottom. Before planting, seedlings should be soaked for 4-5 hours in water. This is especially true for plants with open roots.
Planting procedure step by step
To carry out the landing, it is worth doing the following:
- Dig up the soil to a depth of 70 cm.
- Place a drainage layer on the bottom and cover it with ordinary earth.
- Apply fertilizer to the soil.
- Make a hill in the center of the hole.
- Place the plant and gently spread the roots.
- Sprinkle them with earth and tamp them carefully, but not hard.
The crop must be planted correctly
Plant care
For a culture to flourish, it needs quality care. It should be comprehensive.
- Watering rules and humidity
Watering the culture should be under the bush. This must be done early in the morning or in the evening, otherwise the scorching sun will disrupt the absorption of moisture.
The intensity of watering is changed according to the climate. It is important to avoid getting moisture on the foliage, as this is fraught with the development of fungi.
- Top dressing and soil quality
The rose needs to be systematically fed. This will prolong the life of the plant and make the flowering more abundant.
After germination, microelements are added. At the stage of bud formation, it is worth using manure or bird droppings. Potassium should be used before freezing. With the arrival of spring, nitrogen is introduced, which will help to quickly build up the green mass.
- Pruning and replanting
Full pruning of branches is recommended for 2 years. The procedure is carried out in the summer. Blind stems should be trimmed above the foliage.
If, nevertheless, for some reason you have to move the rose bush to another place, you need to use the transshipment method, keeping a large clod of earth around the roots.
Features of wintering a flower
To prepare a plant for winter, you should do the following:
- before the arrival of cold weather, spud the bushes by 45 cm;
- in early September, pinch the top of the shoots;
- cut off immature shoots before frost and bend them to the ground;
- with the arrival of cold weather, cover the bush with a frame and spruce branches.
With the arrival of spring, the High Magic bushes need to be slowly opened so that the shoots do not squeeze.
Blooming rose
The decorative properties of the plant are associated with its abundant and lush flowering. To achieve good bud formation, you need to take good care of the crop.
During the flowering period, the plant needs timely watering and fertilization. In this case, it is worth abandoning nitrogen fertilizing.
What to do if it does not bloom, possible reasons
The following factors lead to a violation of the development of culture and the absence of flowers:
- planting a rose at a high angle;
- the location of the flower bed in a shady place;
- violation of the pruning technique;

Flower propagation
It is recommended to propagate the culture by cuttings. This should be done according to the rules in order to get a good result.
The rose is propagated by cuttings

The shoot should be cut into 15 cm pieces. Each of them should have 2-3 buds. An oblique cut is made from the bottom of the cuttings. The upper part should be greased with brilliant green, and the lower one should be soaked in a growth stimulator. Then the cuttings should be placed in the ground 3 cm and covered with a bottle.
Diseases, pests and ways to control them
The plant practically does not suffer from diseases and pest attacks. For preventive purposes, special means are periodically used - most often shoots are sprayed with Bordeaux liquid.
If pests are nevertheless noticed, they are fought with the help of broad-spectrum insecticides.
