Step-by-step care instructions

Site selection

The best place to plant an Iceberg rose is a site well protected by the sun's rays from the wind.

To land a snow-white beauty, it is necessary to choose a flat area without depressions so that water does not accumulate.

What should be the soil?

The plant responds remarkably to drained, light, loose, humus-rich soil.

Landing

It is recommended to start landing as soon as the soil warms up a little. Optimal in April. First you need to soak the seedlings in water. When planting, pruning should be performed - remove excess shoots and roots over 30 cm.

Dig the soil deep and add fertilizer. Then they lower the flower into the pit and water it.

Temperature

One of the important advantages of roses of this variety is its good adaptation to temperature extremes. You can plant a plant both in warm and in cold climates.. The most admissible winter temperature is up to -35C.

Watering

Water the climbing rose to the very root, preventing water from getting on the leaves and buds to avoid fungal diseases. Water temperature should be slightly higher than the environment.

Top dressing

At the beginning of summer, it is recommended to do two top dressings. - mineral complex fertilizers or ammonium nitrate. This will provide the plant with a long flowering and developed root system.

Pruning

For healthy flowering and the formation of a bush, pruning of a snow-white beauty is carried out in the autumn or spring.

With a sharp tool, shoots older than three years are gradually removed, retaining only one or two years.

Garter

To give the bush a shape, you need to tie new branches.

It is not recommended to place all lashes horizontallyotherwise buds will only spawn at the tops.

For lush flowering, you can:

1. Arrange the stalks with a fan, and do not tie the side shoots so that they grow up and to the sides.
2. Guide the shoots around the support and tie in a spiral, then the lashes will entwine the arch.
3. Arrange horizontally the main shoots, tied to a support. Then the new side branches will grow up.

Transfer

If the flower is planted in an unsuccessful place - it must be transplanted urgently. This is best done in the fall.

1. The ground part of the plant is removed from the support, and the bush is carefully dug, retreating from the base of the plant about 60 cm.
2. After that, the culture is taken out of the ground, removing excess soil, and immediately transplanted to a new place.

   It is necessary to transplant the climbing rose as carefully as possible so as not to damage the root system of the snow-white darling.

3. After a couple of days, you need to fill up the earth and spud the rose.

Preparation for winter

The plant needs to be prepared in advance for winter cold.

1. In October, diseased shoots are cut out, leaves and flowers are removed.
2. In the fall, they do not carry out full pruning so that the frost does not destroy the freshly cut shoots. The shoots of the Rose Iceberg are flexible, so it will not be difficult to pull them to the ground and cover them with spruce branches.

   Such a shelter during thaws will protect the flower from moisture.

3. With the advent of spring, shelters are removed and the soil is loosened.
4. Since September, it is necessary to reduce the amount of watering, not to loosen the earth and to exclude nitrogen fertilizing.

Breeding

Cuttings

Cuttings can be cut from faded or flowering branches. There must be at least two internodes on the cut branch.

1. The cuttings cut off the upper leaves by half and completely cut off all the lower leaves.
2. The cutlery is placed in a container with sand and soil, deepened by a couple of centimeters, covered with a glass jar and hidden in a well-lit place.

Seeds

2. Then we spread the seeds on a thin layer of cotton wool saturated with hydrogen peroxide, and cover with the same layer of cotton on top.
3. Wrap in a plastic bag and hide in the refrigerator.Seeds need to be regularly inspected and cotton layers changed.
4. After a month and a half, we transfer the sprouted seed to peat tablets or small plastic cups with this earthen mixture.
5. After a few months, the first buds should appear on young roses. In the spring they are planted in open ground.

Layering

1. In the spring we make an incision on the shoot.
2. At the bottom of the groove 10 cm wide, we lay a thin layer of humus and sprinkle a light layer of soil on top.
3. Then we carefully bend the shoot, put it in a ditch and fix it with metal brackets.
4. We leave the top from above, and we sprinkle the shoot with earth.
5. Next spring layering can be cut from the bush and planted in a separate area.

Propagation by vaccination on dogrose

The optimal time for the operation is the end of July and the beginning of August.

1. Rosehip before the procedure must be abundantly watered.
2. An incision of the bark is made on the root neck of the shrub in the form of the letter "t", then the edges of the bark are slightly pulled.
3. A peephole cut from a rose is placed in this "pocket".

   The peephole should be separated from the flower along with the bark and a small piece of wood.

4. The eye is pressed tightly against the neck of the stock, and this area is tightly wrapped with a film for budding.
5. After the procedures, the rosehip bush should be spudded so that the soil rises above the grafting site by at least 5 cm.
