Planting and growing a flower
Maritim planted a rose in the middle of autumn: in late September, early October. It is necessary to choose a planting time so that the plant can take root before the onset of cold weather.
Planting material is prepared in advance, basically it is a ready sprouted seedling, with a well-developed root system and trunk. A seedling is purchased in nurseries or specialty stores, but in some cases it can be germinated independently.
For this, experienced flower growers use:
- seed germination;
- cuttings;
- division of the bush.
Before planting, it is necessary to prepare a place where the bush will grow. This rose variety is weather resistant, but you should not take any chances. Rose loves the sun and should be sheltered from drafts. However, the shrub needs free access to fresh air. Preference should be given to fertile, loamy soil.
It is interesting! Standing and ground water in the vicinity of the root system should not be. If there is a risk, a drainage elevation must be installed.
Also, before planting, you need to prepare planting material. For this, the seedling is exempted from packaging and placed for 24 hours in water. After this, you need to remove the weakened shoots, leaving no more than 5 pieces of the strongest. The shoots themselves also need to be shortened to 15 cm. The root system should be carefully inspected and the damaged roots carefully removed, if any. After that, the seedling is placed in a water-manure mixture and kept in it for up to 5 hours.
At the same time, a hole is prepared for landing. The diameter of the hole should be approximately 50 cm. Drainage is placed on the bottom of the hole and the nutrient mixture is poured. After this, the seedling is installed in the prepared hole and filled with soil. The root neck should not sit deeper than 4 cm. After planting, a Maritim rose is watered with a water-dung solution and the stems are tied.
Landing
Care for the climbing rose Maritim
Rosa is a water-loving plant, so it needs regular watering, especially in the first days after planting. The main requirements for irrigation water - it must be settled, in no case cold. Watered in the morning and evening in order to avoid sunburn on the plant.
In order for the plant to grow healthy and lush, one must not allow the soil to dry out at the base of the bush. Rosa needs constant oxygen access to the roots. To do this, the bush needs to be regularly loosened and weeds should be monitored. For feeding, as a rule, organic fertilizers are selected. Ideal: cow manure fertilizers.
Pruning occurs as needed throughout the season. A shrub is trimmed either to give the plant the necessary, planned shape, or to maintain a healthy appearance in the plant. Remove weak, broken shoots, buds that have faded or failed to develop.
Important! If you need to transplant an adult shrub to a new place, then thorough preparations must be made.
In order for the transplanted bush to give flowers better than before, you must follow the simple rules of transplanting.
For transplantation, early spring or mid autumn is suitable. The rose should be prepared: old, weak and dry branches are trimmed, the height of the shrub should not exceed 0.5 m. The roots need to be dug carefully, keeping an earthen lump. After digging up, the root system must be tied with a soft cloth or gauze.
In a new hole, it is necessary to put fertilizing and fertilizers, then install a bandaged plant. The winding can be removed only when the hole is half filled with soil. This will allow the roots to take a new position gently and without stress. Then the pit is filled up completely, while it is necessary to ensure that the rose bush is at the same level as in the previous planting location.
Shelter for the winter
In order for the rose to winter successfully, it must be prepared. The shrub is cleaned of old shoots and buds, only 10-15 healthy shoots are left for wintering. The base of the bush is shifted by peat and humus. Shoots are collected in one bundle and bandaged. If there are gaps between the shoots, then it is necessary to shift the bush with coniferous paws. Then the rose must be tied with insulating material, for example, isolon or agrofibre.
Important! You can cover it with polyethylene, but you need to monitor its quality. The film must be flexible and dense.
Bloom
This variety, sometimes called the Maritime rose, belongs to the remodeling appearance of the climbing modern large-flowered rose. That is why the flowering of the Maritim rose lasts from late May - early June to late September - early October. It all depends on what kind of landing region and what weather is in season. Flowers are painted in various shades of raspberry red: from bright pink to weak lilac. Sometimes, in flowering, they look like a Topal rose.
A rose blooms, covering the entire bush with buds, from bottom to top. After complete flowering, the shrub is in a dormant mode for a short time. At this time, he is gaining necessary for the flowering of trace elements and nutrients. The rest period depends on weather conditions and can last from 7 days to 6 weeks.
Bud
Caring for a plant during and after flowering is not very different from normal care. The only thing, by the end of flowering and during dormancy, the Maritim rose needs additional top dressing in the form of organic and mineral fertilizers.
If the shrub for a long time can’t get the color or the buds that have set do not fall, it is necessary to check the level of moisture and acidity of the soil. Excessive waterlogging can stop the flowering of the rose until the plant returns to normal. Soil acidity also affects color formation.
Attention! To reduce acidity, water the rose with a slightly alkaline solution.
Flower propagation
You can prepare a Maritim rose for propagation at any time of the year. However, in winter you can propagate only if it is in room conditions. It is impossible to disturb a rose sheltered for the cold season.
The bush propagates by means of cuttings. To do this, you need to take the shoot, which recently dropped all the buds. The shoot is trimmed with a thin sharp knife, at an angle of 45 °. All sections on future cuttings must be done, observing this angle.
The shoot is cut into cuttings, approximately 10-15 cm in length. It is important that at least 3 kidney-forming agents remain on the segment. Then, the prepared cuttings are installed in a container of water. The liquid should cover the branches no more than half.
Attention! To accelerate germination in water, you can add a drug such as "Kornevin."
After the buds have blossomed, you need to wait until they reach a height of 2-3 cm. After this, the processes are separated from the handle with a sharp and thin blade, slightly obliquely, grabbing a little bark. Then again placed in a water-nutrient solution for several days. After about a week, the shoots can be transplanted into the soil and continue to root at home. If rooting has passed favorably, then in the next season planting material can be transplanted into the open ground.
Diseases and Pests
This rose variety is resistant to various pests and diseases that various garden plants are susceptible to. The only possible disease on the Maritim rose is powdery mildew. It appears from an excess of moisture. After the fungus is found, it is necessary to normalize the watering of the plant and treat the leaves of the bush with a solution of laundry soap.
Attention! Also, the rose may be prone to attack by aphids. Aphids in a short time can cover all the leaves and shoots of a plant, disfiguring the appearance of both shrubs and blossoming flowers. You can get rid of adversity with the help of chemicals specially developed from these insects.
Rose needs care, love and care. However, she is not as capricious as it would seem. This delicate and beautiful flower has powerful power. If you learn how to care for a rose, then it will fill the gardeners, both lovers and professionals, with joy and beauty for many years.
