A home rose is a magnificent mini copy of a garden one. This beautiful flower is very popular among indoor plant lovers. A rose that grows in a pot is a very capricious creature and for its fruitful flowering it will take maximum effort. But trust me it's worth it. A rose can decorate with its presence even the most unattractive interior of an apartment.

At home, only the dwarf species of this beautiful plant should be grown. The fact is that a garden rose has an extensive root system that simply cannot fit, even in the largest pot.

Rosa loves light and fresh air very much, so the best place where she can feel good in the summer is a balcony. If it is not possible to keep an indoor rose on the balcony, then you should place it in a warm, well-ventilated area. It is necessary to water frequently, but moderately, without flooding or allowing the soil to dry out. In winter, the rose should be watered less often and kept at a temperature of ten degrees. Fertilizers are applied only during the period of rapid growth, at least twice a month.

In order for the rose to bloom as long as possible, it needs to create a certain temperature regime, which is closer to cool than warm. In a warm room, you can achieve a long flowering plant, but for this it needs to be irrigated with warm enough water every two days. A prerequisite for flowering roses is a room in which there is a lot of light.

Proper watering of this plant in summer plays an important role in the health and rapid flowering of home roses. Watering is done in the morning and in the evening, but in no case not in the sun. The rose should be in moist soil almost constantly, but you should not allow waterlogging of the soil.

The soil-soil must be very nutritious and saturated.

Off-topic question ... Question on cottages

We are constantly getting letters in which amateur gardeners are worried that due to the cold summer this year, a poor harvest of potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, and other vegetables. Last year we published TIPS about this. But unfortunately, many did not listen, but some still applied. Here is a report from our reader, we want to advise plant growth biostimulantswhich will help increase the yield by up to 50-70%.

It is good to take the soil for planting in the place where nettle thickets rage. Nettle does not grow in poor soils, this is a well-known fact.

The rose is very often attacked by various kinds of pests. This is a spider mite, and aphids, and a rose sawfly.

Aphids are washed off with an ordinary solution of soapy water, and this should not be a one-time treatment, it is desirable to carry it out once a week.

Spider mites and other pests can be killed with garlic. To do this, you need to take fifty grams of crushed garlic and pour 200 grams of cold water over it. When infused, for 15 minutes, strain, bring the volume to one liter. When processing, one and a half glasses of infusion are taken for ten liters of water, and in cloudy weather the room rose is washed with this solution. But you can buy the drug "Fitoverm" in the store, which you need to spray for at least a week within a month.

Transfer

In order for the home rose to bloom violently in the spring, the transplant must be carried out already in August, this will allow the roots to adapt and take root well. Otherwise, the rose will take root during the entire period of rapid growth and will bloom only by autumn. When transplanting a plant, you should try not to destroy the earthen lump, since the rose is very sensitive to damage to the roots and then gets sick for a long time.

An indoor rose should be planted in small flowerpots, since with an excess of space in a flowerpot, the rose will give a lot of greenery and rarely bloom.

pruning

This is an indispensable part of caring for a room rose. If you neglect pruning, the plant will be weak. With thin long branches and small rare flowers. Answering the question “when the main pruning is done”, usually in early spring, before the rapid growth of the plant has yet begun.

Some flower growers who are closely involved in breeding room roses want to achieve from it not only long flowering, but also large buds if possible. Pruning is carried out during the entire flowering period, removing newly grown shoots and leaving three or five buds on the main shoots.

Pruned home beauty for good flowering and decoration of a bush of a beautiful shape.
In order to properly trim you need to know:

• First, all weak and underdeveloped stems are removed. As well as branches that are intertwined.
• No more than five strong shoots, of medium length, should be left on the bush.
• If the shoots are long, then they need to be shortened, leaving six live buds.
• If the sprouts are long, but not very developed, then five buds are left for further growth and development.
• When weak shoots appear, it is advisable to remove them, but if this is not possible, then three buds are left on them.

Caring for a beautiful but capricious plant

It is important that sharp tools are suitable for pruning, which will not leave a hitch on the shoot of the plant. The fact is that when trimming with blunt tools, torn edges are obtained at the place of trimming, and this is fraught with the development of various diseases and decay of the cut edge. Pruning should be carried out strictly at an angle of forty-five degrees, just above the living kidney.

In order to prevent new shoots from stretching out, the flower after pruning should be placed in a cool room and only after the first leaves appear, put on a sunny window for further growth. Small shoots that will appear during the period of violent growth are removed immediately so that all the forces of the plant go to the formation of beautiful buds on the main shoots.

After the first flowering of the room beauty, it is necessary to re-pruning so that the plant does not give strength to the growth of greenery, and after a while it can bloom again. All faded buds and small shoots are cut off, leaving three or five buds on the main layers.

If you follow all the rules of maintenance and cut it properly, then it will delight you with its flowering until the end of summer.

Pruning a rose is useful both for sanitary purposes: you cut off shriveled, dead shoots that only harm the flower, and for decorative purposes: you form a neat, decorative bush that will look the way you want it, and will not grow in a chaotic form.

How to prune an indoor rose?

We count 5 buds down from the flower, and cut off under 5 buds.

You can also prune the rose if necessary, for example, if you have large ugly knots on the stem, from a previous unsuccessful pruning, you can prune right under that place, and thereby bring two useful actions at a time. If the branch is thick and large, it will give a very good shoot.

What should be the cut? It must be done obliquely with respect to the kidney, it must also be about one centimeter away from the kidney, this distance is considered ideal, the cutting angle should not be very sharp, the ideal slope is considered to be an angle of 45 degrees. Trim with sharp scissors or a knife.

Reproduction of a room rose:

Cut cuttings should not be thrown away. They can be used for . To do this, we need to prepare them.

• To do this, we cut the flower, as you see it in the photo.

• You also need to cut off the two lower leaves.
• We put the stalk prepared in this way into the water, and wait until they have roots, after which the rose will be suitable for transplanting into a pot.

The second method of propagating a room rose is as follows:

• For this, we will take a large stalk, which was with several knots, from previous circumcisions, and cut off a flower from it, and also cut off the lower leaves.

• As you can see in the photo, the shoot turned out with a very powerful stem - an almost ready-made bush when it sprouts.
• Further in the pot, where the rose bush is already growing, we dig a hole in a free place and put our cutting there.

• We deepen this knot into the ground and press it. The rose should be watered every day, she does not like her earthen ball to dry out, and keep her not in the open sun, but in the shade.

I first met a room rose back in the distant 90s. Our class during the labor lesson was sent to one of the school greenhouses to master garden work, and there I saw two tall bushes of flowering roses. They were unusually beautiful, double flowers 5-7 cm in size emitted a pleasant aroma and had soft pink and cream shades. They say that if a shoot is stolen, then it will definitely take root. Naturally, like any child, I could not resist and plucked a branch from each bush, hastily putting them in the pocket of my school apron. Arriving home after school, I stuck them into the first mother's flowerpot standing on the window and intuitively, in order to create a greenhouse effect, covered the top with a half-liter jar.

At that time there was no Internet, I also didn’t have an encyclopedia of indoor plants, I wasn’t particularly fond of floriculture, therefore, referring to “maybe they will take root”, I can say I forgot about my wards. I didn’t follow the development process at all, I watered the flowerpot along with the rest of the flowers once a week. What was my surprise when, after a while, I found through the glass with droplets of condensate that both pink twigs released lateral bright green leaves. My joy knew no bounds, because only cut flowers were available for free sale, there was no abundance of potted culture as at the moment, at that time. Amateur flower growers exchanged houseplants from hand to hand in small shoots or cuttings.

Pruning a room rose.

In fact, contrary to popular belief that a room rose can be thrown out after flowering, this is not so. The rose is an absolutely easy plant to care for, and the secret of its continuous flowering lies in timely pruning.

It is advisable to prune roses in late winter or early spring, before the plant enters the vegetative phase. If you want the rose bush to look compact, and not in the form of shoots sticking out randomly in different directions, then try after the indoor rose has completely faded, cut it so that at least 3 live buds remain on each branch. The branches that develop inside the bush are also ruthlessly removed, they will further interfere with the full development of the plant. You should also remove shoots with wilted and dried flowers. Thus, the plant is rejuvenated, and timely pruning will accelerate the awakening of the kidneys and stimulate the growth of young shoots, on which rose buds will certainly appear later with proper care. It is important to know that buds are formed only on new shoots.

Transplantation and propagation of roses at home.

It is advisable to replant the mother bush in the spring no more than once every two years, you can be content with transshipment. To do this, you need to buy a flowerpot a little larger than the previous one, pour drainage on the bottom, send an earthen lump from the root to the center of the flowerpot and fill fresh specialized soil around the root system. During transplantation, the bottom of the flowerpot must be constantly tapped so that the soil mixture is well compacted and there are no voids in the pot. I want to draw attention to the fact that the substrate purchased for transplantation in the cold season must be at room temperature, otherwise the roots of the rose may suffer, which will later affect the plant itself.

If you want to propagate your rose, then the next time you cut it, cut the cuttings with secateurs ideally with two or three buds, but always with leaves and put them in boiled water for a while with one tablet of activated charcoal so that the water does not turn sour in the future. Water does not need to be changed, just add it as it evaporates. For quick root formation, any root former can be added to the water with cuttings, for example, Rooting agent. The appearance of new roots occurs within 2-4 weeks. The best time for such a procedure is the end of summer, the beginning of autumn. When the cuttings have their own roots, you can plant them in separate pots, the soil can be used for flowering plants.

Caring for a room rose.

• The plant is photophilous, but requires shading on the southern windows in the summer. The optimal location for indoor roses is the windowsills of the eastern and southeastern landmarks.
• Indoor rose loves a warm shower and frequent spraying, but you should not do this during flowering, because the delicate rose petals will lose their appearance when wet, the flower will lose its decorative effect and fade faster. It is also not recommended to spray the plant at noon, because droplets of moisture during the midday solstice can work like lenses and burn the young tender leaves or petals of the plant.
• During the active growth phase and after pruning the plant, twice a month you need to feed the roses with a balanced fertilizer or with a high content of nitrogen in it, it is necessary for the plant to grow and develop green mass. After you notice that the rose is preparing for budding, you need to apply mineral fertilizers mainly with phosphorus and potassium until the end of its flowering. These two nutrients are responsible for the full development of flower buds, contribute to their abundant formation and saturation of color shades.
• Roses need to be watered abundantly only during growth or flowering, the earth ball should be constantly wet and should not be allowed to dry out. But in the obligatory dormant period for roses, watering is reduced and watered only as needed.
• From autumn to spring, it is advisable to keep roses at a temperature not higher than 10-15C, it is advisable to wrap pots wintering on unheated balconies or put them in a box with sawdust so that the earth lump does not freeze. It is very important that roses during the dormant period are not near heaters and kept in a cool room with high humidity. It is best to keep indoor roses from May, when frosts are no longer expected until late autumn, on open balconies, terraces or in the garden, in which case the plant will gain vitality over the summer, receive enough solar energy and delight you with abundant flowering.

Pests and control measures.

Indoor roses are susceptible to attack by a spider mite, it is almost impossible to prevent its appearance. In the room where the plants are located, the appearance of a spider mite is inevitable, so every six months it is necessary to carry out preventive measures, periodically pickling the plants from pests. It is advisable not to keep other indoor flowers in a room with roses or place them away from roses so that the tick does not spread throughout the collection. As soon as you notice that the leaves of the rose begin to curl or shrink - this is the first signal of the appearance of a spider mite, you should immediately start processing from insects.

To do this, the shrubs are taken out into the fresh air and plentifully treated with an insecticide prepared in advance according to the instructions from the spray gun so that the solution gets both from the outside and from the back of the leaves. With the remaining solution, you can shed the top layer of soil and wipe the window sills and shelves where the roses were located before. Attention, during the use of any drugs you need to use personal protective equipment. Processing is carried out strictly in rubber gloves and in a respiratory mask, not in windy weather.
If the roses have been outdoors all summer, be sure to inspect the plants for possible pests (aphids, spider mites, powdery mildew, thrips) before bringing them into the house and treat them with appropriate preparations according to the instructions, for example

Roses are very popular among flower growers. Everyone wants to have this stunningly beautiful and fragrant flower in their home. In order to grow a neat and lush bush with a large number of buds, you need to know the features, rules for caring for and growing roses, the main of which is pruning.

When and how to prune indoor roses

Most varieties of indoor roses need to be pruned in the spring, around May-April. This period is the most suitable, because the buds have not yet blossomed, and the plant is just moving away from rest.

In order for the rose to bloom faster, spring pruning is a must.

To carefully cut the rose and not damage it, you need to use only well-sharpened and carefully crafted tools. The shoots should be cut off, departing from the kidney at least 5 mm. It is mandatory to remove old, dried, diseased and damaged ones, as well as those that do not have an upper main kidney.

Necessary tools for pruning roses

You will need: secateurs, knife, water, soil mixture.

To determine the frequency of pruning a rose, you need to know its variety, because the frequency and pruning period for each species is different. There is no specific form of pruning, the florist cuts the rose to his taste.

• In roses with large branches, when pruning, knots with at least three buds should remain.
• It is also possible to achieve abundant and sufficiently long flowering of a room rose with the help of timely and correct pruning.
• In order to grow a tall and slender rose, cutting off the upper shoots is not necessary. It is necessary to regularly prune only side branches.
• After the end of flowering, dried flower buds should be cut without fail. They take away the strength of the plant, which it could spend on a new flowering.
• In order to propagate a rose, it is necessary to carefully, so as not to damage the entire plant, cut cuttings from healthy twigs.
• The most suitable time for this is the period from the beginning of July to the end of September. When pruning cuttings, it must be remembered that there must be at least three buds on one cutting, or the cutting may not take roots.

If you follow all the rules and prune indoor roses in a timely manner, you can grow a lush and beautiful bush that will delight you with abundant and long flowering.

How to prune a house rose in a pot

How to prune a house rose in a pot? This question sooner or later arises even among those who have just begun to get involved in indoor roses. In a flower shop, we get a beautifully formed bush or stem tree, but over time, the rose grows and loses its shape. Don't get upset if this happens. Restoring the shape of a flower with pruning is not at all difficult.

If the rose is not cut off, the rose grows, which spoils its shape.

Why else do you need to prune a home rose?

Pruning rose bushes is an operation of paramount importance, it gives the plant a harmonious and graceful look, guarantees excellent flowering every year, helps to avoid intertwining and tangling of branches, as well as getting rid of overgrown, frail or dead branches that are prone to diseases and pests.

On young rose bushes, it is useful to do the so-called sanitary pruning, best of all in spring or autumn, although theoretically it is possible at any time of the year. Sanitary pruning will allow you to get rid of not only dead or damaged branches, but also from too weak shoots that are cut just above the main branch.

Weak or strongly interfering processes are usually cut off.

Formative pruning helps maintain or shape ornamental plants. Rejuvenating pruning, which is done at intervals of several years, is intended to restore vitality to the bushes of a house rose, which have become too tall and thick over time.

Usually such pruning is done in late winter or early spring. All weak branches are removed, and the remaining branches are shortened.

Pruning roses is necessary not only to give the rose a beautiful look, but also to improve flowering. By cutting off the excess parts of the branches, we provoke the appearance of new buds.

In roses, pruning is done mainly to remove old and weak parts of the bush in order to rejuvenate it, stimulate new flowering, and make the plant less susceptible to pests.

2. Promoting pruning - to encourage flowering.
3. Formative pruning - necessary to give rose bushes the desired shape.
4. Apical pruning - done in plants to stimulate the growth of a rose bush in breadth.
5. Anti-aging pruning - removal of old branches to rejuvenate the bush.

How to trim?

The cut should be oblique with respect to the kidney and be at a certain distance from it. The optimal distance between the kidney and the cut is about 1 cm. It should not be too sharp (45 degrees is better) and is done in the opposite direction from the kidney. And the last thing: the tool must be well sharpened, then the cut will be clean, without burrs, which often contribute to the reproduction of pathogenic organisms.

You need to remove all dead, damaged and tangled branches that interfere with the development of the middle part of the bush. Full pruning involves cutting back all branches to encourage flowering and give the plant the desired shape and size.

Be sure to remove all wilted flowers. The fact is that the energy that the plant spends on withered flowers is not used to give birth to new flowers.

Time to prune indoor roses

Pruning is one of the most important rose care practices. It is equally important to choose the right time for pruning. There are three ways to trim:

• short (spring) - remove branches affected by dry air and pests, and shorten healthy branches, which stimulates lush flowering;
• medium (summer);
• long (autumn) apical pruning - remove wilted flowers and stimulate secondary flowering in some varieties.

Winter pruning is done in February-March, when new buds begin to swell on rose bushes. It is very important that the pruning is done before the buds begin to open; if pruned later, it will damage the plant.

Summer apical pruning is done in early August and only for roses that bloom several times a year to stimulate new flowering.

Plants should be pruned whenever possible when the room is not too hot. It is better if the room is cool. At low temperatures, the flow of vital juices in the tissues of the plant slows down, and the damage caused by injury will be minimal.
