Landdesign
Growing a flower, how to plant in open ground
For growing roses, seedlings are used. They should be purchased only from trusted sellers or in specialized stores. Planting of seedlings is carried out in late spring, when the earth is already fully warmed up.
Location selection
Rose is a heat-demanding crop, so growing in cold regions is meaningless. It is very difficult to get a healthy and beautiful plant in such conditions. The landing site should be well lit and have a low percentage of shading. The Thalia variety is subject to drafts, so their appearance should be reduced to nothing. Also, when choosing a place for landing, you need to look at the neighborhood with other cultures. For example, you can’t plant a rose with carnation or reseda, they will oppress it.
How to prepare the soil and flower for planting
The variety is not very whimsical to soil conditions. It grows well on moist soil.
Reference! Waterlogging is unacceptable!
If the watering of the soil turned out to be excessive, then in the landing pit it is necessary to lay a drainage layer of gravel and sand - it will remove excess moisture. Rosa Talia prefers acid-base soils.
Before planting, seedlings should trim damaged stems and shorten the roots a little. If the root system of the rose is open, then it will not be superfluous to withstand it for about 5 hours in warm water. This procedure will facilitate the rooting process.
Landing procedure step by step:
- Soak a seedling in water for better germination.
- Dig a landing hole; width and depth of 0.5 meters.
- Prepare a mixture of sand, peat, land and manure.
- Plant a seedling in a hole.
- Cover with a fertile mixture and moisturize.
Landing step by step
Plant care
Rosa Talea is an unpretentious flower, but it should not be neglected.
Watering rules and humidity
A rose needs at least 10 liters of water under one bush. In different periods of the plant’s life, the frequency varies. Young roses need 1 bucket of water every week. In the second half of summer, when the rose has an active growing season, watering should be halved. It is better to use heated water so that the difference between the temperatures of the earth and water is minimal. It is better to water under the root, because the air humidity should be less than that of the soil.
Top dressing and soil quality
For roses, proper nutrition is very important, as it will provide the ideal soil composition for successful growth and development. In the spring, to improve growth, nitrogen fertilizers (nitrate, urea) are introduced. In August, you need to feed the bush with superphosphate, in preparation for the winter. In autumn, fertilizers are additionally applied. So the rose will be easier to move the winter. Organics and complex mineral fertilizers are ideal.
Pruning and transplanting
Pruning a rose will help to achieve a neat appearance. In the spring, healthy stems are trimmed to 15-20 centimeters, at a height of 5-6 buds. Thickening bushes, shoots directed inward and excess shoots at the base are removed. In the autumn period, sanitary pruning is carried out, leaves are removed, and all shoots are shortened by 60%. After completion of work, it is required to process the stems with 1% solution of copper sulfate.
Important! If the plant is no longer satisfied with its quality or flowering has worsened, then the rose should be transplanted.
To do this, you need to moisten the earth and dig a bush with a large earthen lump, then wrap it with a cloth. Next, put it in the prepared same hole, moisten the earth and sprinkle it with earth. The procedure is best done in early spring or from August to September. The conditions should not differ too much from the previous place so that the plant experiences less stress.
Pruning before wintering
Features of wintering a flower
The Talea variety can tolerate frosts down to -17 ° C. However, it is better to use shelter to avoid problems. At the first frosts you can not cover the rose, so it is hardened. Then you can fill the trimmed bush with soil, so that its layer rises by 20 cm (1 bucket of soil). A cardboard (wooden box) is also suitable. Then cover with a mixture of clay, so that rodents do not penetrate, and cover the plant. From above everything is covered with sawdust and straw. It is possible to use lutrasil - textile material.
After the end of winter, the shelter must be disassembled gradually, so that the temperature slowly levels out. Organic residues can be used for mulching.
Flowering roses
The greatest period of activity occurs in July and August. In July, the first flowering stage begins. At this time, wilted buds need to be cut, leaving a shamrock.
Important! It is strictly forbidden to feed roses during this period. Fertilizing will speed up the process of dying of flowers.
In August, the second stage of flowering begins. This month, young shoots appear that will give life to new bushes. It is absolutely impossible to trim them. However, if such a process appeared in the II half of the month, then it will have to be removed so that the plant does not waste strength before preparing for winter. Weaving varieties are not subjected to this procedure. The exception is the Rambler variety. By the end of August, wilted buds cease to prune, allowing new seeds to form.
Blooming rose
What to do if the rose does not bloom, possible causes
There are several reasons for this problem:
- Incorrect seat
- violation of the rules of care in pruning;
- lack or excess of fertilizers;
- root shoots;
- old bush.
Important! Rose transplantation will help to restore flowering, pruning to the place of formation of new shoots, revising the feeding schedule and their composition, removing root shoots and propagating the bush. You can also feed the rose with potash fertilizers. After identifying the problem, you need to immediately begin to solve it, if possible.
Flower propagation
To get new offspring from the Thaleus rose, you can use the cuttings and layering method. These procedures are best done in the spring.
Cuttings
For this, mature shoots are taken with a thickness of at least 5 mm. They should be carefully divided with a sharp knife into segments, each should have 3-5 kidneys.
Further landing is carried out as follows:
- Dig a hole 30 cm deep and fill it with a layer of grass and compost.
- Plant shoots at an angle of 45 ° so that 1/3 of the cuttings or 2 buds are above the surface of the soil.
- Water the planting.
Layering method
Reproduction is carried out in the spring, before the buds open.
Order of conduct:
- Separate a flexible mature shoot from the main bush.
- On the back of the shoot, make small cuts near the eyes.
- Lay cuttings with notches in the ground and secure with wood studs.
- Attach the end of the shoot with a pair of kidneys to the peg.
- During the summer period, loosen and water the place with a layering.
- Separate the formed root system from the parent plant in autumn.
- Transplant to a permanent habitat.
Diseases and Pests
With improper care, the plant can be affected by harmful insects and diseases.
Pests:
- Rosaceous aphids. Insects settle in colonies on rose bushes. The shoots are deformed, but the buds do not open. Inta-Vir, Iskra, Tanrek are used to remove pests.
- Leafloader. Caterpillars harm leaves and shoots. You can get rid of them using manual removal, and pesticides are suitable for prevention.
- Rose sawflies. Outwardly similar to a bee. It lays eggs on the bush, and the pest larvae bite into shoots and make long passages. Insecticides are used to combat.
Rose disease
Disease
- Powdery Mildew The reason is high humidity. White spots appear on the leaves, and the plant weakens and fades. Affected parts need to be cut and burned. In spring, process with copper sulfate.
- Black spotting. This is a fungal disease. The leaves of the rose darken and dark brown spots appear on them. Removal of damaged parts and treatment with zinc-containing preparations ("Topaz", "Profit") will help.
- Rust. Leaves are affected by rusty spots on the stem and leaves. The rose should be sprayed with potassium nitrate and treated with copper sulfate.
Rosa Talea is a very beautiful plant. Despite all the difficulties in growing, such a plant is worth it. Delicate aroma, beautiful and lush buds, attractive shades of the color palette - that’s why it is worth growing such a bush on your site.
