Growing features

When planting seedlings, it is important to adhere to the recommendations of specialists, which will help not to make mistakes. When choosing a place for planting a trunk, it is worth giving preference to well-lit areas that are reliably protected from drafts. In the first weeks after planting, the bushes should be shaded with a special garden net to avoid sunburn.

A few weeks before planting, the soil is dug to a depth of 55-75 cm and mixed with a small amount of peat, humus and lime. You can also add some fresh manure to the ground.

Step by step process:

1. Depressions are dug in the selected area. The distance between the bushes should be 120-150 cm. Dense plantings provoke the development of fungal diseases. Plants with thorns in this case lose their green mass and stop blooming.
2. The dimensional characteristics of each groove should be 45-45 cm.
3. The root system of seedlings is soaked for a couple of hours in a root solution.
4. After a specified period of time, the seedlings are placed in the pits.
5. The roots are neatly leveled.
6. The pits are covered with a layer of fertile soil so that the root collar of the plants is 7-8 cm below the soil surface.

Formative pruning is carried out from the first year of planting. In the summer, you can remove the fading buds, which will contribute to a long and abundant flowering.

Preparing for winter

At the end of September, the shoots are shortened and pressed to the surface of the ground. Spandbond and film material are stretched over the branches. A structure of boards is built on top, which must be covered with a layer of spruce branches.

Florists recommend preparing in stages. At the end of September, you can start laying the shoots. After a couple of weeks, you should start wrapping the plants.

Reproduction of climbing roses

Floribunda Schneevitchen rose can be propagated by cuttings. This procedure is carried out not only in summer, but also in winter.

Going to harvest cuttings, it is necessary to cut only those branches on which there are a couple of internodes. The cuts are made at an angle of 45 °. Climbing cuttings are processed in a root solution and placed in a sand-soil mixture, poured into containers. After that, you can stretch the film material over the container. The film is systematically removed for the purpose of airing, and the soil is moistened with a spray bottle. As a rule, after 21 days, the cuttings will take root. After a couple of months, you can plant seedlings in open ground.
