It is about landing in the autumn period that we will talk about in our article. We will tell you about how best to choose a place for the queen of the garden and what care she will need for the best rooting.

Features of the procedure

In seedlings sold in containers, the root system is poorly developed, so it is not recommended to plant them under the winter. Cuttings are well suited for autumn planting, in which the roots are bare and well developed. The best time to plant rose bushes is the end of September. - early October.

With warm and lingering autumn, it may happen that young shoots can freeze. Also at this time of the year it is difficult to purchase high-quality seedlings of roses, so you need to choose them carefully. This is especially true of the root system, which should not be dry. To do this, a pruner is made by a pruner.

White color speaks of a good plant, brown indicates a lack of viability, it is necessary to trim before the appearance of white color. Shoots on a seedling should be healthy and not broken.

Where to get planting material?

Buying rose seedlings is best in the nurseryhaving a good reputation either in a special store. There in the autumn often these products are sold at a significant discount. The cost of rose seedlings varies from 200 rubles to several thousand - it all depends on the variety.

Seat selection

• For planting roses, it is advisable to choose a sunny area that will be protected from draft and wind, and water should not accumulate in this place. These flowers do not like her stagnation and waterlogging. From dampness and draft, they become sick and quickly disappear.
• The rose should grow in a place that tall trees do not obscure in the morning and evening, but it is desirable to have shade in the hot afternoon hours. Scorching sunlight causes burnout, as well as the appearance of a spider mite.
• It is often impossible to plant bushes, because crowding will not allow air to circulate well, and can lead to the development of diseases in roses. You should always consider the size of future adult bushes. When planting climbing roses, you need to think about a place to shelter their aerial parts for the winter.

Soil preparation

The most suitable soils for roses are:

• loamy;
• lightweight;
• air and moisture permeable;
• rich in humus.

Such land is rare, therefore To enrich light sandy soils, you must make:

• turf land;
• rotted manure;
• lime;
• peat.

If the earth in the clay area is heavy, then drainage is necessary, they also need to be added:

• sand;
• compost
• humus;
• peat.

Material preparation

Only from a viable and healthy seedling can a beautiful rose grow.

Only in spring is the presence of dryness of the upper part of the seedling allowed. If it is acquired in the fall, then the shoots should be wet. This indicates that the planting material is fresh.

1. 24 hours before planting, the stem must be lowered into the settled water, the temperature of which is not less than + 18 ° С.
2. And before planting it, the root must be shortened to 30 cm, shoots to 35 cm.
3. In order to prevent diseases, the entire seedling is advised to be treated with iron sulfate. Experienced flower growers recommend making a mash of clay and a solution of manure, and dip the roots of the rose into it.

Step-by-step instructions for the procedure

Preparing a pit for planting roses is necessary right before the process. If this is done in advance, it will be necessary to dig up the bottom and walls a little.

It is advisable to choose a cloudy day for landing. Do not plant in:

• wind;
• heavy rain;
• the heat.

Dig a hole according to the size of the root system of the cuttings. It must be borne in mind that it is necessary to deepen it in the garden more than it was done in the nursery. The vaccination site should be 5 cm below ground level. The distance between large plantations and nearby growing bushes should be at least 1 meter. Then the roses will suffice air and light.

In the prepared pit, the thickness of the fertile land should be at least 40 cm, if this is not the case, then you need to fertilize. For feeding in the autumn, fresh organic fertilizers cannot be used. They lead to the burning of roots.

1. Landing begins with falling to the bottom of the pit a little plain earth, which is well watered. Depending on its degree of humidity, 1-2 buckets of water may be needed.
2. After this, the prepared seedling is placed in the ground so that the roots do not turn up, but are well placed in the pit. They need to be leveled, and gently sprinkled with earth. So that they do not peek out from under the ground, it must be carefully tamped.
3. To prevent from freezing, the bush of roses is sprinkled with a layer of earth 15-20 cm high.
4. Good if mulching is done. To do this, fit:
   • dry grass;
   • sawdust;
   • fir spruce branches.

Problems and difficulties

When planting roses in the fall, some problems and difficulties may arise. They will be less when buying quality plants with a powerful root system and strong shoots. When living in an area where there is a high probability of rose disease, you need to purchase varieties endowed with high resistance to disease. In order to prevent the defeat of the flower by various ailments, it is necessary in time to remove and burn diseased leaves, cut shoots and litter accumulating near them. To increase the resistance, the bushes must be fed with potassium, which also helps the young plant to form faster.

In order for the root system to be a healthy rose, phosphorus is needed. Deficiency of various trace elements negatively affects young rose bushes, their leaves change color, wither and fall off. Flowers also grow smaller and the stems weaken, therefore, complex fertilizers must be systematically used, as indicated in the instructions. They will help fill up the shortage of elements that the rose needs, namely:

• nitrogen
• magnesium;
• iron;
• Manganese

Large amounts of lime in the soil must not be allowed., this leads to the development of chlorosis, in which the leaves turn yellow.

If you choose the wrong place for planting roses in the fall, the flower may be threatened:

• poor root development;
• drought;
• freezing
• swinging by the wind;
• getting wet
• very strong growth of root shoots;
• lack of light and stuff.

If the plant has a curvature of shoots, a deterioration in the appearance of the flowers, then it needs to be transplanted to another place with better soil. In those places where winters are quite severe, it is necessary to close roses for this period of the year and before the buds begin to swell.

One of the problems may be the defeat of the plant with a herbicide.. This is evidenced by spiraling leaf petioles, which become twisted, narrow. The stems acquire a reddish tint and bend. Therefore, gardeners recommend that you never destroy weeds by special means on a windy day.

Also, you can not water and treat roses with herbicides with one watering can. But if this has already happened, you need to remove the diseased shoots, the bush will straighten over time.

It is necessary to systematically inspect roses. If a small number of pests are detected, they can be removed by hand, and spraying with fungicidal preparations will help to prevent the first foci of a fungal disease from developing.

There are many advantages to planting rose bushes in autumn. One of the main ones is that the survival rate of such seedlings is very high. If you plant a plant taking into account all the recommendations, then in the spring shoots will surely appear on the petioles, and the bushes will grow quickly.
