- Prepare a hole up to 35 cm deep. It is necessary to divide the soil into two parts. The top layer is separated from the bottom and laid out in separate heaps. Manure or compost is added to the top, as well as 1 tbsp. a spoonful of mineral fertilizer. Then everything is thoroughly mixed.
- The pit is watered abundantly, the fertile upper part of the earth is filled with fertilizers into the pit. Then you need to form a mound.
- The seedling is placed on a ready-made mound. The root collar should be immersed in the soil by 5 cm.
- The plant is watered abundantly.
Landing rules
Plant care
As soon as the seedlings take root in a new place, you need to organize proper care for them. This will ensure persistent flowering in the future.
Watering rules and humidity
The flower needs enough water. But at the same time it is necessary to monitor the level of moisture. Stagnation of water in the ground should be avoided. The topsoil should be moist.
As soon as the rainy season begins, watering stops completely. It is important to observe this rule, since high humidity provokes the appearance of fungal diseases.
After watering, the soil should be loosened. The formed crust must be removed, which does not allow oxygen to get to the root system. In the process of loosening, all weeds are removed in which pests can start.
Watering
Top dressing and soil quality
In the first year after planting, roses are not fertilized. But first, all the necessary minerals must be introduced into the pit. Then feeding is carried out twice a year. The first time the event is required in the spring after the snow melts, as well as in the fall during the preparation of the bush for wintering.
After watering, you can make a layer of mulch near the trunk. It should be at least 5 cm thick. This method will help prevent moisture evaporation and weed growth.
Pruning and replanting
An important step in caring for the Rumba variety is pruning. It is made in spring and autumn. In the spring, all broken, frozen, damaged shoots are cut off. It is also important to remove all branches that are growing inwardly. In order to accelerate the formation of new flowers in the summer, you need to remove all faded buds in a timely manner.
In the fall, the period of sanitary pruning begins. At this time, it is necessary to get rid of all weakened shoots so that the plant can more easily overwinter. Weak shoots will die anyway, unable to withstand the frost.

Features of wintering a flower
After the leaves fall from the bush, you need to prepare the rose for the onset of cold weather. To do this, water each bush well.You will need 20 liters of water for each. After that, autumn feeding is carried out. Humus or phosphorus-potassium fertilizers are applied under each root.
Before the onset of cold weather, it is necessary to huddle the bushes. Humus is introduced under them at least 20 cm thick. Then it is required to remove the lashes from the support and lay them on the ground, securing them with brackets. Top of the lash is covered with foliage or sawdust.
Blooming rose
The flowering type of the Rumba variety is wavy. It is abundant and long lasting. The flowers are shaped like small rosettes.
A distinctive characteristic of this shrub is the combination of a flowering activation period with a dormant period. Three waves can change during one season.
After opening the buds, the flowers are colored yellow. Over time, the edges of the petals turn bright pink or crimson. The yellowness will completely fade over time. The peculiarity of the plant is that the petals of the flowers dry up, but they do not fall off the branches. They need to be removed on their own, as this not only spoils the appearance of the shrub, but also reduces the intensity of flowering.

What to do if it does not bloom
If the seedling is only one year old, it may not bloom. This will not be considered a pathology. Most often, climbing roses begin to bloom only in the second year.
Other reasons why there is no flowering are as follows:
- the wrong landing site has been selected. Little sunlight falls on the site or there is a draft;
- too much pruning was carried out in the spring;
- lack of the required amount of fertilizers. A weakened bush will not be able to gain strength to bloom.
Flower propagation
Cuttings are used as the main breeding method for the Rumba variety. The best time for this is May or June. In the southern regions, planting can be carried out in the fall. It is important that the cutting has time to take root before the onset of frost.
Lignified shoots are selected for planting by cuttings. The branch is divided into several parts. They should be up to 9 cm long. The cut from the kidney is made at a distance of half a centimeter.
The lower part of the cutting is freed from the leaves. Then it is buried halfway into the ground. The cuttings should be at a distance of 15 cm from each other. They are covered with foil. For proper rooting to occur, it is necessary to provide ventilation and regular watering. If the cuttings have a bud, they must be removed. This is necessary for the plant to form a correct and strong root system. Only after two years the cuttings will become ready-made seedlings.
