How to Plant a Belvedere Rose
The further development and appearance of an adult plant depends on the quality of planting material. Therefore, seedlings must be purchased from reliable, well-established sellers for a long time. Rose bushes should be without damage, signs of disease.
It is preferable to plant bushes grown in the nursery. There the seedlings are provided with professional care: top dressing, treatment for diseases and pests, hardening. One and two-year-old stands are best established.
In addition, the gardener can plant roses grown from cuttings themselves. Seed propagation on the site is usually not applied.
You can plant bushes in spring or autumn. The first option is used in the northern regions in order for the rose to take root well before the onset of frost. In the southern regions, landing is allowed in the fall, a month before the cold weather sets in. Autumn is preferable in that the gardener can see the buds on the acquired plants.
Important! The territory for planting a rose bush is selected well-ventilated, illuminated by the sun in the morning and afternoon.
When bright sunlight enters, the color of the flowers changes: it becomes faded, clarified. In the place where the bushes will be grown, groundwater should not come close to the surface of the soil.
The landing site is cleaned of debris, dug up. If the soil is acidified, lime, dolomite flour is added to it. Heavy clay soil is loosened with sand and peat. Healthy branches of a seedling are cut to 2-3 buds, dry and damaged cut completely. The root system is dipped for 11-12 hours in warm water.
Landing procedure step by step
Planting roses Belvedere is as follows:
- Dig a ditch with a depth and diameter of 60 centimeters.
- Expanded clay is laid out with a layer of 10 centimeters.
- Then pour out a loose, fertile substrate.
- In the middle, they fill the ground with a slide, plant a seedling, and spread the root system along the sides.
- They fill the ground so that the root neck is slightly deepened.
The basal circle is rammed, watered with 2 buckets of water.

Plant care
Rosa Belvedere needs care during the entire planting season: watering as necessary, top dressing several times during the spring-autumn period, mulching. Be sure to prune after flowering. In cold regions, a rose is spudded and covered for winter.
- Watering rules and humidity
The characteristics of the Belvedere rose indicate that the plantation is drought tolerant.
But in order for the bushes to look spectacular for a long time, they need to be watered periodically. Humidification can be made rare, but always plentiful. Under each planting, no less than a bucket of water is shed. Irrigation from above is not recommended, as the pink bush can be affected by powdery mildew from excessive moisture.
- Top dressing and soil quality
In spring, bushes are fertilized with nitrogen-containing compounds. They are needed for the rapid growth of shoots and leaves of plants.
Then the rose bush is fed with top dressing, consisting mainly of phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, boron, and other trace elements. You can use universal fertilizer for decorative flowering plants for this.
Important! In summer, nitrogen is not used for feeding, since it is necessary for building green mass, and roses may not bloom as a result of its plentiful use.
- Pruning and transplanting
Spring pruning of roses is carried out immediately after the onset of warm weather. At the same time, 3-4 kidneys are left on the shoot, counting from the soil surface.
Throughout the season, sanitary pruning is performed, removing dry, damaged, diseased stems. Faded buds are cut so that young shoots appear from sleeping buds.
Young bushes are transplanted no more than 3 years old to a new place in spring or autumn.
- Features of wintering a flower
Before the onset of stable frosts, water-charging irrigation is performed. Moisturized plants are easier to winter.
Then the bushes are covered with peat or humus. If severe frosts are expected, arcs are installed around the plantations, which are covered with agrofibre.
Flowering roses
Rose of Belvedere variety has a high degree of decorativeness due to beautiful buds and long flowering. If the plantation is properly looked after, it will be possible to admire the orange flowers from the beginning of summer until late autumn.
Belvedere rose buds begin to bloom in June. Flowering lasts 2-3 weeks, then comes a short break. During this period, it is necessary to prune all beginners to wither inflorescences, thereby helping the formation of new flowering shoots. Soon a new wave of spectacular flowering of roses will begin.
During flowering, the rose consumes a lot of energy, therefore, during this period, especially careful care should be made. Bushes are watered, fed, mulched, sprayed from diseases and pests. After flowering, the shoots are pruned in order to quickly begin the re-formation of inflorescences.

What to do if it does not bloom, possible causes
Blooming roses may not occur for the following reasons:
- For her, the site was incorrectly selected. For example, if the bushes are planted on swampy soil or in a shady place. In this case, the rose needs to be transplanted into a bright, well-drained area.
- Crop errors. If the shoots are cut too low, flowering in June may not occur. In the grown stems, flowers will form only by the end of summer.
- Incorrect watering. Rosa needs a rare but plentiful irrigation. After watering, the soil is loosened and mulched to preserve moisture in it.
- Incorrect feeding. If during the season the rose is constantly fed with nitrogen, flowering may not occur. This element is needed only in the spring, to increase the vegetative mass. In summer, the earth is fertilized with potassium, phosphorus.
Note! Buds planted in spring roses are picked because they must take root well and flowering takes a lot of energy.
Flower propagation
Rosa Belvedere (Belvedere) bred by cuttings, seedlings, grafting, layering. Seed propagation is laborious, so gardeners usually do not use it. With this option, breeders are breeding new varieties of roses.
You can propagate the culture in spring, summer or autumn. If the cuttings could not be planted on time, you can save the shoots in a cool place in winter and plant them in the spring. Some gardeners, experimenting with breeding methods, root cuttings in potatoes. This option can be used throughout the year.
Propagation of the cuttings of roses in potato tuber
The most popular method of self-cultivation of roses is cuttings. To do this, select stems with a thickness of 5-6 millimeters. The breeding procedure is performed as follows:
- cut shoots with a length of 15 centimeters;
- sprinkle the lower sections with a growth enhancer;
- planted in boxes with loose, fertile soil;
- cover with a film.
Containers are put in a warm place. When the cuttings take root, the shelter is removed. The grown seedlings are planted first in separate containers, then - in a permanent place.
Diseases, pests and ways to combat them
Flower adversity is easier to prevent than to treat later. Therefore, several times during the spring-autumn, the bushes are sprayed with antifungal drugs.
Pathogenic microorganisms can occur as a result of waterlogging of the soil or the aerial parts of plants. To prevent the appearance of pests, roses are sprayed with insecticides.
Rose shrub Belvedere is a spectacular plantation that can decorate any garden plot with its appearance. With proper care, the gardener will enjoy flowering throughout the summer and half of the fall. For beginners, flower lovers, it is important that you can plant a variety even in the Volga region, in the Urals, in Siberia.
