Today, a huge amount ofvarieties of roses. They differ in appearance, have features of development, but the processes occurring in them in the autumn season are similar. Therefore, it is important to understand what care is needed for roses in the fall. Winter preparations are based on the processes that occur in this period in the life of flowers:
By winter, the nature itself begins to prepare the roses.But usually this is not enough: these plants are thermophilic, and gardeners should take care of their shelter for the winter. Activities aimed at preparing roses for winter are best divided into several stages, which are held monthly. In this question there can be no exact dates, much less dates, since such a division is rather arbitrary. For example, in the northern regions of the cold begin early, for this reason, some types of preparatory activities are shifted in terms of almost a month. It is more expedient to focus on the weather and climatic conditions of the region.
During this period, staining of the trunks,weeding, drying the rosary. Preparing roses for winter, pay attention to the condition of the soil. It must be completely clean.

To do this, you can use a special garden paint or water-based emulsion diluted with copper chloride. It is necessary to start painting from the bottom and finish at the level of hilling (approximately thirty centimeters). Feel free to paint the trunks, if you find violations of the integrity of the bark. When the trunk dries, you need to spud the bush.
If bloom does not stop in September, remove small and faded buds that still do not bloom before the cold weather begins.
Too humidified rose garden will not allow culturesafely survive the winter. Therefore it is necessary to dry it. Especially this procedure is important wet autumn. To do this, set above the bushes arc, which is usually used in greenhouses. Then pull the film on them, creating a kind of roof. If the plants are too tall, they can be slightly bent to the ground.
Итак, в октябре продолжается подготовка царских flowers for the winter. Pruning in the fall is very important for roses, as it simplifies the procedure for hiding plants. First of all, tall bushes should be shortened (standard and tea varieties). Otherwise, two-meter beauties will die. Shrubs pruned and applied potash fertilizers for them. The height of the bushes should be reduced by half. Plants with large flowers are shortened by a third. Small-flowered plants are not pruned at all. For them, pinching a growth point is enough.
Time for pruning many flower growers choose according to the lunar calendar. Plants are pruned to a decreasing moon.
In October you need to take care of the prevention of diseases of roses. This requires the following procedures:
Proper shelter procedurestimulates active growth and flowering of the culture in spring, and also helps to keep the plant alive But the shelter, organized illiterately, can destroy these fragile and tender beauties. This procedure consists of several steps:
All shoots should be collected and laid out on the ground.After that, they need to cover with a layer of at least ten centimeters. You can use the insulation and thicker, it is important that it does not harm the plant, which can suffocate or break. Covering material can be lapnik, dry grass, burlap, brushwood. During the frosty winter will need special shelters. Around the bushes it is necessary to build a frame that is insulated with polyethylene or cardboard. In November, the roses are warmed with snow. The bushes sheltered in this way, even very fragile ones, will survive the cold well.
Summer blooming of roses requires a huge plantconsumption of nutrients. When it is completed, the bushes need to restore the disturbed balance. Therefore, autumn fertilizer for roses is necessary - it is a mandatory event that must be planned in advance.
Experts recommend feeding bushesautumn twice. The first - at the end of August or in early September, when flowering is completed. The second is at the very end of September or at the beginning of October. With the onset of winter, the growth of rose bushes stops, but as soon as the temperature rises slightly above zero, which often happens in the middle lane and in the south, the plant “comes to life” and sap flow resumes. During frosts, the juice freezes, the crust expands and can crack. Malignant bacteria are created in the cracks.
In addition to the autumn pruning, garbage collection, shelter from the cold, autumn care for beautiful roses also implies proper dressings.
Август — месяц в котором вносятся последние перед the onset of cold autumn fertilizers for roses. Soil fertilized with phosphorus. In addition, potash fertilizers are introduced. In the fall, these chemical elements make plants more resistant to diseases, stimulate the ripening of young plants, wood and flowering cultures.
What other fertilizers are applied under roses in the fall?Some growers apply a rather specific type of dressing. In the soil under the bushes, they bury banana skins, which contain a lot of potassium very useful for these plants.
And manure should not be used as a fertilizer. This organic - summer feeding. The rose fed with manure in the fall produces young stems that only interfere with the culture.
The second feeding is carried out in late September. For climbing species and shrubs, the best fertilizer for roses in the fall will be:
In late September, you must use potashautumn fertilizer for roses. To do this, you need to prepare a special solution: fifteen grams of potassium superphosphate and sixteen grams of potassium monophosphate are diluted in ten liters of water.
You can make phosphate fertilizers for rosesautumn in proportion: 10 liters of water + 10 grams of magnesium sulfate. Or in a liter of hot water it is necessary to dissolve the superphosphate (50 grams). The resulting infusion is dissolved in ten liters of water and spray the plant.
Calcium supplement obtained by dissolvingtablespoon of calcium nitrate in ten liters of water. In October, it is necessary to add organic fertilizers to the soil, for example, rotted compost. Feeding stopped in November, in order not to provoke rapid growth of shoots.
Many gardeners do not deny that the hassle of rosesdeliver a lot. But the amazing beauty and wonderful aroma of these beauties in the summer will convince you that your efforts were not in vain.
