What time is the boarding
It is when the soil warms up well enough that rose seedlings can be planted in open ground.
Location selection
In order to grow the most attractive rose, you need to choose a well-lit area for it, slightly towering above the rest of the territory. There should be no strong winds or drafts in this place. But at the same time, access to fresh air must be constant.
How to prepare the soil and flower for planting
It is desirable that the soil is black earth or, in extreme cases, loamy. The acidity ranges from 5.6 to 7.5 pH.
Planting procedure step by step
It is important to follow the algorithm below when planting a rose bush:
- It is necessary to form a hole half a meter deep, on the bottom of which drainage should be poured. Small pebbles are suitable as it.
- Before planting, the seedling must be dipped in water for 10 minutes.
- Then, examine the root system and remove any damaged or unhealthy parts.
- If the soil is dry enough, then thoroughly water the hole before planting.
- Then you need to carefully put the seedling in the hole, spreading the roots.
- In this case, it is necessary to ensure that the root collar is below the level of the surface layer of the soil. Only in this case additional stems will be formed.
- Fill the seedling and lightly tamp the soil.
- Water abundantly.
Plant care
Roses are quite capricious plants, therefore it is necessary to comply with all measures and conditions for their maintenance.
Watering rules and humidity
The hotter the weather, the more frequent and abundant watering should be. One adult plant needs from 8 to 11 liters of water.
In humid climates it will be enough to water once every 7 days.
Top dressing and soil quality
The soil should be rich in nutrients, only in this case the plant will bloom abundantly and beautifully.
If the soil on the site does not meet the requirements, then it is necessary to use manure or humus from plant components in order to strengthen the rose and thereby protect it from the attack of pests and diseases.
In the spring, nitrogenous fertilizers are applied to the soil. Whereas in the fall and summer, phosphorus and potassium are added.
Pruning and replanting
Pruning is necessary for a rose, since only in this case it will be able to bloom efficiently and for a long time.
The first pruning is carried out in the spring. It is necessary to shorten the plant by about 10-15 cm. But at the same time, up to three buds should remain on a branch that is distinguished by health.
In the fall, another pruning is carried out. In this case, it is necessary to remove the shoots that have not bloomed, as well as those that have completely faded.
Features of wintering a flower
If in winter the temperature outside does not drop below -7 ° C, then the bush can not be wrapped.
At lower temperatures, the rose must be properly prepared for wintering. It is necessary to perform the following procedures:
- Spud the bush in a circle. At the same time, add humus or compost mixed with ordinary earth to the soil. The embedment depth must be increased by 20 cm.
- Arches must be placed on top of the trimmed bush. Thus, the frame for the greenhouse is formed.
- Cover with insulation material.
- And wrap everything up with PVC film.

Rose pink Mondial, like all Mondial roses, bloom quite colorful.

The second pruning is done in the fall after the plant has completely bloomed.
Detailed description
In the spring, it is necessary to shorten all the main branches by at least 10 cm from the top. It is important to count the number of buds remaining on the process. It should be equal to 2-3.
