Home rose care and transplant. Homemade rose in a pot

A home rose in a pot is a rather finicky plant. For normal development and regular flowering she needs special care, all the secrets and nuances of which we will now tell you.

A bit of history

The rose belongs to the Rosaceae family, is distinguished by fragrant flowers and the presence of thorns on the stem. Indoor specimens began to grow back in ancient times, for this, the bushes from the yard were transplanted into large flowerpots and brought into the room. Most often, they tried to protect the specimens brought from the southern regions, which were donated to persons of royal blood.

The matchmaking of princes and kings from warm countries did not pass without roses, they were like harbingers of the most serious intentions. White or pale pink flowers were intended for princesses, as a symbol of youth, perfection and purity. For widowed brides, red varieties were most often sent as gifts.

At the end of the Middle Ages, breeders of that time began to breed roses with more varied colors.

Capricious brides demanded more exotic gifts from the grooms, and they, in turn, made every effort to please their beloved. To date, there are more than a hundred varieties of home roses, breeders are breeding more and more exotic ones with unusual colors of flowers. It is much easier for today's gentlemen to please their beloved; roses of a wide variety of colors and shades are on sale.

The palette is simply amazing, blue, purple and even black flowers look quite unusual on the windowsills of apartments. Varieties without thorns are especially popular, but the smell of the flower will be slightly different.

Description and general characteristics

Since ancient times, rose bushes have been grown indoors, soil, top dressing, and watering frequency were selected for them. Since then, not only the world has changed, but also the indoor plants of Rosaceae themselves. They were adapted not only to the microclimate of a modern human dwelling, but also significantly reduced in size.

At the same time, some varieties retained large flowers, and in some they also decreased in proportion to the bush. Growing on a windowsill dictates some conditions, all the stems should be placed in a small space.

Indoor roses are also adapted to this, their main characteristics are as follows:

bush up to 50 cm in height, up to 30 cm in diameter
leaves are small, bright green or dark green in color
flowers are not large, maximum can reach 5-7 cm in diameter
the color of the flowers is different, most often red, white, yellow, pink hybrids are grown
stems are elastic, covered with thorns, the density depends on the variety

There are roses for indoor growing with fragrant flowers and with ordinary flowers, decorativeness will be high in all species. Today, home varieties are divided by the size of flowers into the following groups:

Polyanthus
Repaired
Bengali

Polyanthus group a strong branching of the stem is characteristic, on almost every branch a bud develops over time, which, under proper conditions, will delight the eye with a small flower. The diameter of a rosette of such a group reaches 2-3 cm, but the flowering is long. In some cases, the plant does not stop blooming all year round.

But real flower growers will never allow this, after 6-9 months of abundant flowering from the plant, they cut off the remaining ones to the blossoming buds and give the flower a rest.

The stems from this group help to create an extraordinary decor. Often they are given the shape of a ball, which looks especially impressive during the flowering period.

Repaired they present their flower in a special way, they stand out it. From the bush, each bud rises on a long peduncle. The leaves of the plants have a dark green saturated color, a bush of medium density. The flowering is not as long as that of the polyanthus, but it can be admired twice a season.

Rose room, renovation group

Bengali group considered the most common, the stems are the least picky to care for and grow and develop well in a closed room. The leaves of the representatives of the Bengali group are small, of medium density. The bush is compact, up to 35 cm in height, lush-shaped roses are densely located on it.

The most common colors are red, pink, beige, white. They bloom for a long time, almost all year round. With proper care and regular feeding, the trunk can not be allowed to retire until it wants to.

Bengal roses for indoor cultivation

For such purposes, organic matter is most often used, which nourishes the plant and the soil around it with everything necessary. It should be borne in mind that after long flowering the rest period may be prolonged. You should not be afraid of this, the flower will sprout new shoots when it fully regains its strength, sometimes this can drag on for 7-9 months.

Periods of development

Among flower growers, there is an opinion that it is difficult to grow a room rose, the plant is quite picky and capricious. These are not exotic hybrids, but under some circumstances unacceptable for the queen of flowers, she can quickly die without showing her flowers. Subject to all necessary rules everyone will be able to please themselves with such beauty on the windowsill.

Some, for the sake of experiment, start growing from a self-cut cuttings, which gradually turns into a full-fledged representative of Rosaceae on the windowsill. The process is quite interesting, especially children are happy with such experiments. Observing the full development cycle is cognitive.

For rosaceae, like most others indoor plants, there are two periods of annual development:

Vegetation period
Dormant period

Each of them is important for life, without one there will be no normal second.

During the growing season, the stem of a room rose in a pot grows actively, this is manifested in an increase in leaves and growth of branches. The beginning of the period usually falls in the spring months, when a sufficient amount of fertilizer is received already in late March - early April, the rose bush will delight with the first young leaves and shoots of twigs. By mid-May, buds appear on the trunk, which will begin to bloom little by little after 10-14 days.

Depending on the group affiliation, flowering lasts until late summer - early autumn. Sometimes the flowering process is delayed, for New Year Holidays a beautiful Christmas tree is replaced by a pot with a flowering stem of a room rose. In this case, it is necessary to additionally apply fertilizers and especially carefully monitor the air humidity around the flower.

Watering remains the same.

If the buds appeared on the stem and immediately dried up, this indicates inadequate conditions during the dormant period. The flower was flooded or the temperature regime was violated more than once.

After the last flower has bloomed on the bush, the plant needs to rest and gain strength for the next growing season. For this, branches are pruned and certain temperature and watering regimes are created for the trunk. With proper content already in early spring the rose bush will again begin to expel young shoots and bloom.

Basic stem care during the growing season

In order for the rose bush to become a real decoration in your home, you need to create for it optimal conditions during the growth period. At the beginning of the growing season and throughout the entire period, a lot of attention must be paid to the flower, if you treat it, pulling your sleeves down, forget about watering, fertilizing and spraying, then the result will not be a fragrant bush, but a dry broom.

The period of awakening the rose bush in indoor conditions

Rose, both garden and indoor, does not tolerate high temperatures, they are destructive for her.

In order for development to proceed normally, it is worth taking into account the following tips:

In the middle or towards the end of March, a flowerpot with a stem is placed on well-lit windowsills, roses respond perfectly to the sun's rays
Gradually it is necessary to increase watering, it is important to moisten the soil in a timely manner when it dries up. In the spring and at the beginning of summer, a one-time watering in 1-2 two days is enough, when the air temperature rises, then the amount of moisture should be increased. Sometimes rose bushes are watered twice a day, this is done in very intense heat.
To grow a rose in room conditions, a certain air humidity is also necessary, it is achieved by spraying from a spray bottle. This is done in the summer several times a day; at the beginning of the growing season, it is enough to carry out the procedure once a day.
Rose bushes need light, but from direct sunlight, the plant can receive sunburn that can lead to death. So that development takes place without unnecessary excesses, southern, southeastern and southwestern windows are ideal for growing roses in pots. If your home is in the sun all day, then for window sills with boles it is worth creating an artificial partial shade using a regular sheet of paper or napkin.
Optimal mode for summer period 20-25 degrees, it is at this temperature that the normal development of the plant, its leaves, buds and flowers occurs. If the thermometer readings are higher, then it is worth increasing the watering and intensifying the spraying of the bush. Sometimes even such measures do not help, then the pots are removed to cooler places, removed from the windowsills for the daytime, a special air humidifier is used
They begin to feed the plant as soon as it is exposed to the light, at first the concentration is made very small, about a third of the norm indicated in the instructions. Gradually it is worth increasing the number nutrients... Wherein important point the alternation of mineral and organic products is considered. The procedure is carried out every week, after watering the bush abundantly.
But it is worth carefully observing which fertilizer the flower reacts best to. Gradually, the priority remains with this type of fertilizer, the second is used more as an auxiliary fertilizer. But also completely give up less effective feeding not worth it, sometimes it is she who will be able to stimulate the plant to actively bloom or even save the stem during a difficult period of its life
During flowering, the application of dressings is slightly reduced, the concentration should be slightly weaker. Excess fertilizer can lead to wilting of the bush, and sometimes to its death.
From time to time for roses it is necessary to arrange a short-term bathing under a cool shower. This procedure will rid the leaves of accumulated dust and possible external pests, as well as have a positive effect on the air humidity around the trunk.
Bathing is contraindicated for the next few days after preventive measures for pest control of both ground and ground parts. Such a procedure will negatively affect the plant, if the temperature regime is underestimated, bathing can provoke rotting of the root system

After the end of flowering, the stem must be cut off.

It is necessary to do this correctly and efficiently, the development of the bush at the beginning of the next season depends on this procedure.

The procedure is carried out with a sharp knife or garden pruner:

Old branches are removed at the root, leaving stumps up to 3 cm high
Young shoots are cut over 5 living buds, while it is important that the shoot has several leaves

In addition, bush formation can be carried out throughout the growing season. Some subspecies of the plant are specially trimmed to achieve a certain shape. Most often you can see rose bushes in a ball-shaped pot, it looks unusual in the interior.

In addition, flowering cubes, prisms, trapezoids and volumetric triangles are popular. Some cut the plant according to special patterns with complex elements.

Resting care

Flowers feel cared for

After pruning has been done for a dormant period, which usually coincides with winter, the home rose is sent to a cooler room. In this case, watering is reduced, spraying can be abandoned altogether.

In order for the rose bush to feel normal during the dormant period, to be able to restore strength for new growth and flowering, it needs to create the following conditions:

The temperature should not exceed 10-15 degrees
The plant should be kept away from heating appliances.
In the autumn-winter period, a short daylight hours are sufficient for the plant. It is worth lighting up with lamps only when the flowering period of the plant has been delayed
Watering is reduced, a slight drying of the top layer of the soil can be allowed. Drying out of the earthen coma should not be allowed in any case. Watered 1-2 times a week
They refuse spraying and fertilizing altogether.

To maintain the necessary humidity around the houseplant, a trick is used. Moistened expanded clay is poured into the pallet, a stand is placed, and a pot with a homemade rose is placed on it.

The bathroom will be an ideal place for relaxation in the apartment, only it is worth considering the factor that the flower may not tolerate hot vapors. Roses behave well in basements, most growers send them there. The main thing is that with severe frosts the temperature in the basement has not dropped below +5, this will forever destroy the rose in the pot.

In winter, during the dormant period, you can see flowerpots with blooming rose bushes on the windows. To save the flower, you must cut and create the necessary conditions for relax. Continuous flowering will destroy the plant very soon.

If the flower does not want to retire, and the grower wants to admire the flowering longer, it is worth shifting the period of the beginning of the growing season. Strictly adhered rest periods are essential for such plants.

Features of care immediately after purchase

After buying a rose bush in a pot, or they just gave you a stem, it should adapt to the surrounding microclimate. During this period, it is completely unacceptable to transplant immediately upon arrival home. It will take about 10-14 days for the flower to get used to it, after this period you can experiment a little with it.

Summer option for decorating the facade of your home

In order for the rose to survive the stress associated with the "move", it is necessary to create suitable conditions for it. In this case, adaptation will take place faster and more efficiently, the flower will soon begin to bloom and develop further. Experienced florists advise in the first week of a rose's stay in your home to create conditions as close as possible to store conditions:

Maintain the air temperature, as in a flower shop, it is approximately 16-19 degrees
Spray the plant regularly, it is best to do this in the first half of the day and immediately after lunch, so that the stems and leaves have time to dry out before dark
Dry moisture can develop into putrefactive formations, which develop quickly and can destroy the plant.
If the flower was purchased in winter and there are a lot of buds and flowers on it, you need to take care of artificial additional lighting. For this, special lamps are used, about which you can ask in the same flower shop.
It should be understood that there are two types of lamps, which of them is more suitable for your pet, the consultant should explain. When buying a lamp, if possible, agree on a possible replacement or return of goods within the warranty period, as practice shows, roses in a pot can react differently to such "helpers"
Water regularly, carefully monitor the condition of the soil in the pot. Avoid souring or drying out of the earthy coma
Carry out preventive treatment with fungicides to prevent disease and pest infestation

After the rose in the pot is reconciled with the change in the microclimate, it can be transplanted and gradually accustomed to its new place of residence. For this, it is advisable to change the pot and soil.

Transplanting a rose bush after adaptation is mandatory, most of the soils used for planting in such cases are not suitable for further growing indoor flowers.

Transplant rules

In order for the rose to grow well at home and please with flowering, it needs to be provided with high-quality soil. From it, through the roots, she will draw useful ingredients for herself in the required amount... It is not necessary to transplant a rose bush often, such manipulations are carried out once for 2-3 years or immediately after purchase in a store.

Homemade rose in a pot: How to care at home? (20+ Photos & Videos) + Reviews

To do everything correctly, you need to know some of the intricacies of the transplant:

First you need to choose a container for planting. Any plant will feel most comfortable in a high-quality ceramic pot. If you could not find a suitable color or design, then you can transplant the rose bush into a plastic one. The selected container for transplanting should be 3-5 cm wider than the previous one, but the height for roses is not important
From an aesthetic point of view, a low pot is more suitable for a rose. It is these dimensions that designers most often choose to create unusual interiors... The shape and size will help the grower independently experiment with the formation of the bush. For high capacities, such solutions will also be acceptable, but not every shape will create the desired effect. Smaller vessels will fit more aesthetically into almost any design in the house, and a wide bowl on the windowsill will provide more space for the stem
Second, not less important step is the selection of soil. It is on this component that the development and growth of a rose bush most depends. Incorrectly selected or poor quality ingredients will soon ruin the rose, but if everything is done correctly, the flower will thank for this with juicy greens and lush flowering
A soil mixture of 1 part sod land, 1 part humus and ¼ sand is ideal for rosaceae. You need to cook it yourself, all the ingredients are mixed well and allowed to warm up a little at room temperature. If it is not possible to prepare such a mixture, you can use a commercially available substrate for indoor plants or an ordinary universal
At the same time, it is worth knowing that a plant can react to a universal soil. This manifests itself in a sharp yellowing and shedding of foliage, wilting of flowers and buds, drying of twigs
The preparatory process does not end there, in order to transplant a rose into comfortable conditions for it, it is necessary to think over drainage. To do this, a layer of expanded clay is placed on the bottom of the selected container, its height should be at least 2 cm.If such material could not be obtained, you can use small crushed stone, pebbles or large balls of ordinary packaging foam

The transplant process is in full swing

The main preparations have been made, now you can proceed with the transplant itself. A flower in an old pot is watered well and the roots and soil are allowed to soften for 10-15 minutes. Then the stem is taken out of the pot and, by transfer, transplanted into a prepared container.

A layer of expanded clay is covered with a nutritious soil mixture, an earthen lump of a room rose is installed on it
Gradually fill the pot with soil, filling all the gaps
After that, they slightly trample the ground and water
It is advisable to put the transplanted stem in the shade for a day or remove it to the north window

Do not trample too much soil in the pot, Rosaceae grow better in airy, fluffy soil mixtures.

After a day's rest, the transplanted stem is determined on permanent place residence, which should be well lit, but not in direct sunlight. Drafts will also not have the best effect on the growth and development of a home rose in a pot. A necessary component will be access to fresh air, maintaining optimal temperature and humidity.

If the transplant takes place in the period after the acquisition of the flower, then it is worth removing the buds from the stem as much as possible. Usually a couple of buds and no more than three flowers are left.

Fertilizers and feeding

Any indoor plant in a pot needs fertilizing, a limited amount of soil will not be able to fully meet all the needs of the flower. Indoor rose is no exception, it must be fed regularly, only in this way the stem will have a healthy look and please with flowers. In addition, fertilizing will help the plant in the fight against pests and diseases, increasing its immunity and resistance to the effects various factors from outside.

For a home rose, you must use organic and mineral fertilizers, while the simultaneous application can destroy the plant.

Therefore, it is best to adhere to this feeding schedule from early spring to early autumn:

Add organic matter for one week, rose bushes respond best to the seen mullein. It is prepared from one part of dry cow dung soaked in one part of water. Such a product should stand for at least 10-15 days, but it cannot be used in its pure form, it is too concentrated. For feeding per liter of water, only 100-150 g of this infusion is enough
Sometimes feeding is prepared from poultry droppings, for this, 100 g of dry matter is poured with 5 liters of water and kept for at least 20 days. In this case, the temperature regime at which the agent fermented will be important. The most suitable option is a basement, where the temperature will not be higher than +15. It is necessary to use the finished product in even smaller doses than mullein, 20-30 g is enough for a liter of water for irrigation.
A concentrated infusion is also a good option. chicken droppings, but one part of dry matter requires three parts of water. Insist on it for at least 20 days, and use it in the same way as mullein
You can prepare all three natural organic food options and apply them one at a time. The rose will only benefit from this, it will receive in a balanced way within 1-1.5 months everything necessary for the growth and development of not only foliage
The second week for Rosaceae should be mineral, fertilizers are applied exactly seven days after feeding has taken place organic matter... You can use a universal cleaner for indoor flowering plants or purchase a special one for indoor roses

Mineral fertilizer for indoor rose

Top dressing is applied in the morning, it is better to do this after watering. It is better to carry out the procedure in clear weather, the cloudy sky does not contribute to the normal absorption of the applied dressings.

Not everyone has the opportunity to plant near the house. After all, most people now live in apartment buildings. But everyone can buy a potted indoor rose. Only it does not survive for everyone. What is the reason?

China is considered. The height of a bush or standard room rose can reach half a meter. But there are types of a different form: climbing and ground cover. It is better to grow them in hanging flowerpots or use ladders.

The leaves of a room rose are the same as those of a garden rose: pinnate, with five leaves with a serrated edge. The flowering time of a room rose depends on the species and can range from a month to six months or more. The colors of indoor roses repeat the colors of garden roses: from snow-white to dark red, called black. The sizes of flowers can also be different.

The main types of indoor roses:

The tea house blooms for several months in summer. Usually in the spring it is planted on the street.
Bourbon grows up to 50 cm. It blooms from mid-summer to December, from January to March it rests, shedding leaves.
Repaired flowers bloom almost all year round. Medium-sized flowers of various colors.
Bengali is distinguished by its unpretentious care.
Chinese s large quantity small flowers. The bush is completely covered with them.
Polyanthus with few thorns, small but numerous flowers. Differs in frost resistance.

Indoor rose propagates by rooting cuttings. The grafted plants take root very poorly.

Indoor roses are hardy plants. The conditions in the apartment for them are not much different from those in which their street counterparts live. She loves fertile soil, bright light, abundant watering, fresh air, tolerates a drop in temperature during a dormant period. Not afraid of drafts at all. But only most of these parameters, obtained on the street from nature, need to be created in the apartment ourselves, moreover, do it regularly.

Care Tips:

A rose in a pot, like outside, requires a lot of light. It can be installed on a south or southeast window. But there the root system can overheat. Rose does not like this very much, so she suffers. To prevent this from happening, it is advised to hide the pot in a light planter. It will decorate the pot and protect the roots of the rose. Shading, natural (tree outside the window) or created by the owners, can also block out bright rays.
In the summer, you need to provide the rose with abundant watering. Do not use cold water for this. She can destroy the flower. Defend the water, wait until it warms up to room temperature.
And in winter, caring for a rose is dictated by its species characteristics. If this is a remontant species blooming almost all summer, then it does not retire for the winter. They take care of her in the same way as in the summer. If there are few bright days, and they are short, they highlight the rose additionally, fertilize it.
In order for a room rose to develop well and bloom, it must be fed regularly. It is not very convenient to use organic fertilizers such as humus in an apartment. It is easier to buy a liquid feed for flowering plants. It is applied 2 times a month for the entire growing season. And when the plant begins to bloom, you can feed it once a week, but with a solution of a lower concentration. In the spring, when the rose is transferred to the balcony or garden, it becomes possible to add: a solution of infusion or.
The first buds that appear on a young rose are plucked. The second row is also removed. This will cause the plant to bush. Those buds that have bloomed are cut immediately after they have fully opened. There is no need to wait for the petals to fall and the fruit to form. This will weaken the rose, reduce the strength of the flowering. After all, it will spend a lot of energy on unnecessary multi-nut fruits.

If you decide to feed the rose with organic matter, first do not water the plant cold water, then add top dressing and water again. Immediately after transplanting, the rose is not fertilized. They are waiting for her to grow. Do not carry out the procedure with diseased plants. First you need to cure them.

Bourbon, tea rose is left alone for the winter. During this period, it is practically not watered. Sometimes they only moisten the soil so that it does not dry out at all. But this is only if it was possible to organize a wintering for her on a glazed loggia or another place at a temperature of at least 6 ° C.

If it was not possible to make the "winter", they find the coldest place in the apartment, at least 15 ° C. It should be well lit. In this case, you need to water the plant, spray the rose with water daily. It will keep her from being overwhelmed spider mite, which is activated at low humidity.

At the end of August, seasonal roses begin to prepare for the dormant period. At this time, no fertilizers are applied, especially nitrogen fertilizers. At the end of September, they move it to a room with a low temperature (glazed balcony) and wait until the leaves turn yellow and fall off. In the fall, the rose is pruned and transplanted.

For small types of roses, they are shortened by 10 cm, for large-flowered ones, 5 buds are left on each stem.

Cutting a rose is necessary not only for the formation of a bush. This is an important procedure for setting the buds of subsequent flowering. If it is not carried out, the plant may not bloom at all next year.

Florists who follow the lunar calendar advise to carry out all the care procedures (pruning, transplanting) only during the growing moon. Do not disturb the "sleeping" rose until February. In the middle of the month it is time for her to "wake up".

Indoor rose does not tolerate root damage. Therefore, it is often not necessary to transplant it. This also applies to the newly acquired plant. It is not worth replanting it until the time when it adapts to the conditions of the room where she will have to live in the future.

A rose pot is prepared before transplanting. They look at the bottom drain hole... Ceramic dishes are soaked in water for several hours.

The pot that has been in use is thoroughly washed with a stiff brush without using detergents.

A drainage layer is laid on the bottom: pebbles or large expanded clay. Its thickness should not be less than 1 cm. The plant is transplanted by the transshipment method. This way the roots are practically not damaged. Upper layer the soil is carefully removed, adding a new one instead.

Growing errors

The indoor rose reacts to improper care by changing its appearance:

With insufficient watering and low humidity, the leaves turn brown at the edge, dry out and fall off.
Too frequent watering, spraying and frequent sprinkling with cold water, keeping at low temperatures contributes to root rot. Leaves fall off too.
Indoor rose reacts to changes in content parameters by dropping leaves. You cannot often transfer it from one place to another, drastically change the temperature in the room.
If a room rose is not transplanted for several (more than 3) years, it stops growing and blooming, disappears.

If you create all the necessary conditions for a room rose, it will delight with flowers for many years.

More information can be found in the video:

Exquisite and bright, miniature decorative rose will decorate any interior. It belongs to the Rosaceae family and in the indoor version is a small neat bush from 35 to 45 cm. Proper care will give excellent flowering from spring to autumn. Today there are several hundred varieties of indoor roses. Some varieties exude a delicate aroma, while others are completely odorless.

This plant temperate climate, therefore, it does not require special conditions for breeding. Caring for her is not very difficult, but during the flowering period she will require attention. And, of course, he will thank you with luxurious flowers.

Features of growing a home rose

Indoor rose blooms in spring and summer, at this time it needs light and good watering... For abundant flowering, she definitely needs a dormant period, which is best organized in winter.

This houseplant tolerates low temperatures well, but is demanding on air and soil moisture. She is very light-requiring, but direct sunlight can harm her. Rose loves to "swim", so you should follow the regime of water procedures. She needs fresh air all year round.

Important! After the purchase, do not rush to transplant it. It is better to do this in two weeks, then she will better adapt to new conditions.

Planting a room rose

Planting a room rose is not troublesome. It is important to know that the root system of the plant is very delicate, so it is better to transplant it by transshipment. Before planting a rose, you need to prepare a pot. Soak a new pot - pour water and leave for a day. The pot from under the old plant must be thoroughly cleaned with a brush without the use of detergents. If there is a drainage hole in the pot, then the expanded clay layer can be no more than 1 cm, if not, then 3 cm.

Planting methods

Planting a room rose by cuttings.

Optimal planting time

The most the right time for planting a room rose from May to September.

Plant soil (Soil composition)

A potted rose requires a nutritious, breathable soil. Best to use ready soil by purchasing it in a store. The optimal composition of the soil for a plant is sod and humus of the earth, sand in proportions of 4: 4: 1, respectively. Loosening the soil is not recommended because of the danger of damaging the roots. Rose prefers neutral soil.

There are some features in the care that are characteristic of this particular indoor plant.

Location and lighting for the plant

The rose needs fresh air, so perfect placement for her - a balcony or a garden bed in the summer (you can take her with you to the dacha if you spend the whole summer there). However, it is not recommended to leave it unattended, because it requires frequent watering in summer during the flowering period.

At home, the rose is best placed on the southeast or south side, because it loves a lot of light. In the fall, when the daylight hours are short, she needs to turn on additional lighting from a fluorescent lamp. This is done to extend the flowering period.

In winter, during the rest period, a comfortable temperature for a rose is +10 - +12 degrees. If there is an opportunity to put it on a glazed loggia or balcony, it will have a good rest. Indoor winter temperatures are not very suitable for her. If it is not possible to keep the flower at a low temperature, you should protect it as much as possible from the heat of the batteries and dry air.

Pot with miniature room rose it is advisable to turn from time to time to the light in different directions.

Important! If the rose hibernates on a glazed loggia, in order to avoid freezing of the soil, the pot with the plant can be put in a box and sawdust sprinkled around it.

Air humidity

Indoor mini roses need high humidity air. When they are outside (on the balcony or in the garden), additional moisture is not required. In winter, if the rose is in the room, it is better to keep the pot with it in a tray with damp pebbles.

The rose needs weekly water sprays. If the room is cool in winter, it is better not to spray the rose. If the air is too dry and warm, spraying should be carried out 1-2 times a week, even in winter.

Never spray the rose during the day in hot summer weather.

Important! In a dry atmosphere, pests can appear on the flower.

Temperature regime for a flower

The most comfortable temperature for a rose in the summer is +14 - +25 degrees. In winter, the rose needs coolness - no higher than +15 degrees.

How to water properly

Indoor rose does not tolerate both drying out and excessive watering. In the summer, when the rose blooms, watering is necessary 2 times a day - in the morning and in the evening. You need to water with settled water room temperature.

In the fall, when the rose sheds its leaves, watering should be reduced to 1 time per week if the rose hibernates on the balcony. If she is in a room with enough high temperature, you need to water it as the top layer of the soil dries up.

You can alternate top and bottom watering (watering the soil and filling the pan). In any case, excess water from the pallet must be drained to avoid root rot.

In the spring, as the plant awakens, watering should be gradually increased.

Fertilizing and fertilizing a rose flower

Due to the long flowering, the rose loses its strength and needs to fertilize the soil. They begin to feed her towards the end of February 1 time in 10 days. It is recommended to alternate mineral fertilizers with organic ones.

If you just transplanted a flower into fresh soil, you do not need to fertilize it.

Important! Before fertilizing, the flower must be watered with warm water.

Pruning the mini rose is necessary in order to stimulate the ovary. During the flowering period, it is imperative to cut the wilted flowers as short as possible.

The flower is routinely pruned in the fall in preparation for the dormant period. You can also do this in the spring.

Pruning methods

Pruning must be done with a sharp tool so that no torn parts remain on the branch, this can lead to the death of the entire plant. Trim the branches to healthy tissue, above the bud, which is facing outward. An oblique cut is made about five millimeters above the kidney.

It is necessary to remove all weak or dry shoots, as well as those that do not have an upper bud. When two shoots are intertwined, one of them is removed. If, after pruning, two stems appear from one bud, the extra ones must be cut off.

Important! Spring pruning should not be carried out until at least 10-hour daylight hours, otherwise young shoots will not be able to fully develop.

Home rose transplant

A transplant is necessary for a rose in two cases - after purchase and as the plant grows.

Transplant methods

After the purchase

Before replanting a rose after purchase, it needs to be allowed to adapt. No need to touch it for two weeks. First, the flower itself is prepared. A pot with a rose is placed in water, so it needs to stand for about half an hour. Then the rose needs to be bathed in a contrast shower (hot water no higher than 40 degrees). After bathing, a greenhouse is made from a plastic bag so that it does not touch the leaves (the edges of the bag can be pinned to the ground). The greenhouse needs to be ventilated daily. The rose will be ready to transplant when the flowers begin to wilt. They need to be removed and the plant can be replanted.

Immediately before planting, the flower must be removed from the pot and its roots immersed in warm water to wash off the remains of the chemicals with which the rose was fed in the greenhouse. Soak a ceramic pot in water for a day.

A drain is placed at the bottom of the pot, then a layer of soil. The plant is placed in a pot and covered with earth so that it is tamped tightly. The size of the pot should be slightly wider and taller than the previous container.

As needed

Rose really does not like unnecessary anxiety, so an annual transplant is not required, unless the pot becomes too small for her. New dishes for roses are prepared in the same way - they are cleaned and soaked. A pot with a rose is placed in a container of water for 30 minutes so that the earthen lump is easier to separate from the pot. Further, the flower is simply transferred into new pot and fill in a fresh substrate, tamping it around the flower.

After transplanting, the flower does not need to be watered, but it is better to put it in a shady place. You can later move it to a permanent, well-lit place.

Important! Start feeding no earlier than a month after transplanting.

You can propagate a room rose by cuttings. The stalk is cut with a sharp knife, its length should be no more than 10 cm. It is better to treat the tool with a solution of potassium permanganate or alcohol. The cut should be oblique, right under the kidney, so the cutting will take root better. The upper cut is made 5 mm above the kidney. It is better to remove the leaves from the lower part of the cutting. There are two options for cutting a room rose:

Soil

Cuttings can be placed in water for a short time with the addition of heteroauxin (14 tablets per glass of water). After 10 hours, the cuttings are planted in a mixture of sand and peat, or simply in the sand. Then they create greenhouse conditions using film or a cut water bottle. It is not necessary to water a lot so that the cuttings do not start to rot. The temperature should be at least +18 degrees; direct sunlight should be excluded.

The cuttings will take root after about a month, after which they can be opened to adapt to the drier air, and then transplanted into separate containers.

Water

The cuttings must also be prepared, only their length should be about 15 cm. Then they are placed in a jar or glass of water, covered with a cardboard lid with holes into which the cuttings are inserted. Bottom part should be immersed in water by 1.5-2 cm. If the humidity is too low, the cuttings should be sprayed. They can be transplanted into pots when the roots grow 1-1.5 cm and begin to branch well.

Important! For good rooting and development of cuttings, they need at least 15 hours of daylight.

Subject to all the rules for caring for a room rose, it will bloom from late spring to autumn. If dead buds are removed in a timely manner, the rose will bloom continuously during this period. To prevent the pots from overheating in the sun, they can be wrapped in white paper.

Before planting, it is imperative to correctly "equip a new home" with a home rose:

make drainage from expanded clay,
make sure there is a drain hole,
pour the prepared soil with fertilizers into the pot and sprinkle it with a layer of clean soil.

Now place it in a new pot, gradually sprinkle the prepared soil around the edges and compact it as it shrinks. After transshipment, the rose should be placed in the shade, or in general on the north window.

After a day has passed from the moment of transplantation, the rose is placed on a well-lit balcony or windowsill, moved away from a draft and direct hit of hot sunlight, and provided with constant access of fresh air.

Home rose care

At the time of a decrease in growth activity and the formation of buds, it is necessary to stop feeding and reduce watering to once every 2-3 days. This is how the rose prepares for winter.

Preparing for winter

This is one of the most important milestones, during which it is necessary to comply with many conditions:

You can fertilize the soil in a pot with a mullein solution: 1/3 mullein for 2/3 water is thoroughly mixed and left for 4-10 days before the end of the fermentation period, then it is used in a solution with tap water(1:15). You can fertilize the soil near the plant with a solution of bird droppings: insist in 200 parts hot water 1 part of litter, leave for two days, dilute the solution with clean water(1:25) and use for plant feeding.

Top dressing

Growing roses at home involves systematic feeding, so take them very seriously. But remember that if a home rose turns yellow, withers or dries up altogether, this may be the reason that the wrong fertilizer was used or its dosage was exceeded.

If everything is observed according to the rules, then for good flowering the rose is fed once a week. This should be done after watering the plant.

In the spring, when the home decorative rose comes to life again, it should not lack sunlight or moisture. Therefore, the plant is transferred to a light window and constantly watered, as in summer, as the top layer of the earth dries up. Next, the leaves are sprayed and washed.

Attention, only TODAY!

When buying a charming indoor rose in the store, you want it to remain such a beauty for a long time. But often these hopes are not justified, the flower begins to wither and dies.

The reason lies in the improper care of the room rose. This capricious beauty demands to herself special attention, and in city apartments it is quite difficult to create the necessary conditions for her. But you can learn a lot, including caring for this miniature rose.

V flower shops mini roses are found in a variety of colors, their only drawback is the lack of aroma. Having purchased a flower, you immediately want to transplant it into a beautiful pot, but this is not worth doing, because the plant is already experiencing stress, having changed its place of residence, and it needs adaptation to new conditions. It is better to put it on the southeast or south window and observe it for 10-14 days. If the condition of the rose has not worsened, then you can transplant it.

Many people dream of getting a room rose. Such a flower always attracts attention, beckons with its aroma and beauty.

Preparing planters and land

So that the soil in the pots does not dry out quickly, it is better to choose a glazed ceramic or plastic container for the rose. Optimum diameter a pot of 12-15 cm, in such a planter a miniature rose looks the most advantageous.

At the bottom, drainage from expanded clay or polystyrene is needed at 1 cm, when there is no drain hole, its thickness is increased to 4 cm. The soil should be loose and rich in organic matter. Use ready-made store-bought soil or mix in equal proportions garden soil, peat, rotted manure and sand.

To protect the pot from heating, you can cover it with white paper, folded at the height of the pot and cut out near the root part.

Transplant rules

Transplanting a rose into a large pot in the hope that the bush will grow even more magnificent is not worth it; it, on the contrary, will begin to bloom worse. The diameter of the new container should be only 3-5 cm larger than the previous one.

The roots require very careful handling when transplanting, so the rose is transferred into a new pot along with an earthen lump, but if it was planted in peat, then the roots must be cleaned, then the flower will quickly take root in the new soil.

If at the time of the first transplant the rose is already in flowering buds, they should be cut off, since first of all, the roots and branches need to get stronger.

Where to put a room rose?

These babies love sunlight, so it is preferable to place them on the windows on the south side. At insufficient lighting flowering is delayed or stopped altogether. But the heat is harmful to the rose: + 25 ° is the limit for it, so you need to regularly ventilate the room, given that the flower does not tolerate drafts well. You can protect the rose with a small paper screen, setting it around the plant approximately to its middle.

Watering and feeding mode

During flowering, the rose needs moderate watering, it is carried out as the earth dries up. You can water both at the root and in the pan, but in this case the water should not stagnate. Water that the roots could not absorb must be poured out of the pan.

When a plant has a dormant period in autumn and winter, it is watered even less often. The mini-rose loves regular spraying with water from a spray bottle, while the air surrounding the plant is also humidified. But at low temperatures it is better to refrain from this.

In the spring and summer, the flower is fed every two weeks, in the fall and winter, no feeding is carried out. The best result can be achieved by alternating mineral fertilizers with organic ones. You can root the roses immediately after watering or spray them with a nutrient solution.

Preparing a rose for a period of rest and spring awakening

Starting at the end of summer, nitrogen is excluded from the fertilizing, as it is time for the roses to get ready to rest. After the end of flowering, the pot with the plant is placed in cool place(no more than 12 ° C), where the leaves will gradually turn yellow and fall off on it.

In February, the rose is prepared for awakening: it is transplanted and placed in a warm place. In the same period, the plant is pruned, in which all weak, dried and close to each other shoots are cut off. The remaining ones need to be shortened to 4-5 living buds - this is how the plant rejuvenates and will please with the first flowers in March.

Diseases and pests

The rose is very easily affected by the spider mite, and it is not easy to remove it. You can wash the leaves with a solution laundry soap after covering the ground, use an infusion of garlic or yarrow or special chemical agents from this pest.

Aphids in small quantities can be simply collected; in case of severe damage, specialized preparations will also help. A rose can also get sick with powdery mildew. Baking soda will relieve it: 2 tsp are dissolved in a liter of water. soda and this composition spray the flower, preventing it from falling into the ground.

Rose cuttings

You can propagate a rose by cuttings, spend it in the summer, cutting cuttings from branches that have already faded. 2-3 buds should remain on the handle, the upper cut is straight - above the first bud, the lower cut is oblique. They are immediately placed in water or placed in a mixture of peat and sand. When the stalk takes root in water, it is better not to change it, but simply to top it up with fresh water. The rose is planted in the ground with a root length of 1-2 cm.

When buying a rose in a store, the first step is to estimate the number of young shoots. The more there are, the more promising the plant is in terms of growth and flowering, and it adapts much faster. If you care for a room rose correctly, then its bush will be lush, cheerful and strewn with flowers.
