Planting and Caring for roses

Roses need sun shines at least 6 hours per day to generate much interest and constantly. Roses do not like soil or clay soil which distinguished muddy, select the location where the water is not stagnant / stag. If the soil is too clay mixed with compost / humus and sand in the ratio 1: 1: 1. Make a hole with a minimum depth of 50 cm. Fill with fertile soil, and organic fertilizer or a fertilizer specifically for roses and for clay or sandy soil, mixed soil: compost: sand in the ratio 1: 1: 1.

Distance between plants depends on which type of rose you planted. When you plant a ground cover roses so that the distance between the rose about 30 cm. If roses for pergola requires a distance of 1m even 2 m depending on the type of rose. Roses to the fence or cut flower planting is usually 50 - 60cm.

At the beginning of planting, roses need watering every day with many, watered only in the soil, select watering during early morning or late afternoon where there was no sun. Remember not only leaves his land alone. At the time of flowering roses also need lots of water, water in abundance. When you were 2 years old, the frequency of watering can be reduced to 4 days once, but still must be watered whenever the soil is really wet to get to the root.
 
Roses for many and continuous flowering, do some important things like
1.Give Eat and drink regularly. Food in the form of special fertilizer plant roses or if there is no give compost or humus. Fertilization is done before the spring.
2.Give eat again every 2 months during the flowering period. I used to use a special organic rose fertilizer, sometimes cow dung and chicken manure-me-so (it is dry and composed / no reply was new). Give the drink a distinguished much as reply I have written above.
3.Wet the ground and pull the weeds / wild plants. Currently, this trick no longer used but has been replaced by mulching. Mulching is the act of covering ground under the rose tree with organic material. These organic materials can be shredded bark, shredded daun2an, who mowed grass clippings, straw, pieces of vegetable waste from the kitchen.
4.Mulching avoid the growth of wild plants, reducing the frequency of watering because the soil moisture maintained, bahan2nya will become a good humus for plants. Mulching in the winter to be protective for the inundation rose from the snow and cold.
 
Pruning roses depending on the type of rose. Rose antique / ancient roses not be pruned in the spring because this type of rose flowers produced and cabang2 resultant from the previous year. If pruned in the spring, the flowers which will produce little or no flowering at all.

Roses climbing / climbing rose / Rosier grimpant in the first 2 years should not be pruned because it will make the plant was not producing cabang2 long and creeping. Prune or remove the branch which is dry, which leads into the plant and the flowers have withered twigs. Discard also twig with leaves that turn yellow.
