Growing a flower, how to plant it in open ground
The most favorable for placement will be a sunny area, because even with a slight shade, the roses thin out and their flowering weakens. The soil should be loose and nutritious, since during the growing season, Night Oul consumes many nutrients necessary for growth and flowering.
Landing in the ground
When the snow melts and the earth dries up, you can plant a rose. To begin with, prepare a fairly large pit - at least half a meter in width and the same depth. Then it is half filled with a mixture of humus and earth. Add a handful of compound fertilizer. All mix and form a mound. The seedling is placed on the top of the mound, spreading the roots down. The pit is filled to the end and the earth mixture is compacted. Water abundantly and spud a little. It is advisable to shade the planted plants for two weeks. When young leaves appear, the shelter can be removed.
Plant care
The popularity of Night Owl is based on its beauty and ability to bloom again. The unpretentiousness of the variety and the ease of cultivation also play an important role.
Caring for a rose involves a number of simple steps:
- Regular watering. Despite the fact that the rose has a deep root system, watering should not be neglected, especially in the heat. Plants that do not receive moisture slow down their growth, and their flowers wither quickly.
- Pruning is one of the most important conditions for decorative roses. Since Night Owl is a re-flowering plant, in the spring it is necessary to shorten the old stems, and after the first flowering, cut off the faded shoots.Thus, re-flowering is stimulated.
- Mulching improves the quality of the soil. The number of weeds is reduced. In hot weather, the earth retains moisture. It also reduces the likelihood of getting black spot.
- Top dressing is an important element of care. The deficiency of nutrients affects the appearance of the rose: the leaves become shallow and pale, the flowers wither prematurely. Top dressing with complex fertilizers is carried out in the spring (before the leaves appear) and in the summer, in June and July.
- Correct wintering. In the fall, the roses are spud, then pruned and the lashes are bent to the ground. With the onset of cold weather, they cover it with spruce branches or cover the frame with covering material. If the climate is not very harsh, climbing roses are not removed from the supports, but wrapped around them. In the southern regions, you can do without shelter, since the winter hardiness of Night Oul is average, this variety can withstand frosts down to -17 ℃.

Blooming rose

If such a measure does not help, the plants are treated with chemicals.

- Rose leaf cicada is a small yellowish insect. Has wings and jumping legs. Very mobile, quickly infects neighboring plants. A typical sign of a lesion is white specks on the leaf blade. Damaged leaves fall off, the plant may die. The affected specimens are treated with Aktara, watering under the root and spraying the aboveground part.
- Aphids are small insects of green, black or brown color, depending on the species. Aphids live in colonies, multiply rapidly and can destroy a flower in a short time. To combat it, use the insecticide Decis.
