Indoor rose (80 photos): types, cultivation and care. Features of different varieties of indoor roses

Indoor rose. Among the diversity of home flora, she, like her garden version, rightfully bears the name of the Queen. The flower is able to maintain a leading position in popularity thanks to its unique aroma, variety of colors and the beauty of lace leaves.

Queen of flowers of small sizes are credited to the moody category. However, such a statement is not a reason to refuse to grow a flower in an apartment. One only needs to know the rules and subtleties of leaving, very different from what characterizes the agricultural technology of garden beauties.

Miniature queens get into apartments as gifts or purchases, and also due to the enthusiasm of flower growers who strive not only to have a beautiful plant, but also to increase the number of potted representatives on their own window sills.

Indoor rose

Everyone knows that homemade roses are whimsical. Having become the owner of a flower, you need to think about preserving it. If you are holding a gift pot with a magnificent, lushly blooming specimen, it means that the flower sold in the store received a good dose of stimulants, the effect of which, unfortunately, is very short.

• Without regret, not only the buds are trimmed, but also the bearing stem. Drastic measures will help preserve the greenhouse.
• If there are several plants in the gift pot, they are planted.
• Transshipment is accompanied by treatment with antifungal and pests, for which you can use drugs such as Fitosporin, Fitoverm, etc.

These actions concern the home beauty is not limited to. Below are the rules for maintaining plants in residential conditions.

Rose on the windowsill: varietal and species diversity

Tiny rose bushes are a great decoration for any windowsill. With a height of not more than 35 cm, they are in no way inferior to their garden brothers. The following plant species are distinguished: miniature, Bengal, hybrid tea, remontant, groundcover, polyanthus and floribunda.

Varieties of roses, successfully grown in apartments, are very numerous:

Indoor rose grade "Hi - Ho"

• Tchaikovski;
• Orange Triumph
• New penny;
• Yellow doll
• Judy Fischer;
• Ophelia;
• Starina
• Hi-ho;
• Green ice;
• Spice Drop, etc.

The queen of flowers is successfully grown in pots. Here, a Bengal rose (Pink Grotendors) or a hybrid tea rose (Spice Drop) feels great. And the rose is polyanthus and floribunda, varieties Angel wings and Happy Child, etc., feel better in tubs.

The main feature of indoor roses is their ability to propagate without cuttings by cuttings.

Home Care for the Queen

Speaking of the southern beauty, any person, first of all, means a delightful, magnificent flowering bush or large fragrant flowers. A rose in a pot initially may not be large, but the duration and abundance of flowering is the result of the skill and diligence of the grower. And the following criteria are components of success:

• availability of sufficient free space;
• optimal humidity and acceptable temperature;
• compliance with the rules of moisturizing an earthen coma;
• timely processing of the soil and the plant itself;
• prevention of diseases and the spread of pests.

A properly organized wintering of the flower will allow you to admire the bright greenery and numerous buds already in early spring.

Before thinking about wintering, remember that traditionally on the shelves of flower shops are miniature specimens of a flower imported from foreign greenhouses. For cultivation for sale and long-term preservation of the presentation, the flowers are fed with growth and flowering stimulants, which negatively affects the life expectancy of asthenia outside of greenhouse conditions.

Having acquired such a copy, it is worth taking care of its preservation in the changed conditions. For this, as noted above, the plant must be transplanted into a large container with fresh soil and all buds removed, and not only the inflorescences, but also part of the stem are removed. New shoots that appear at the cutting site are also nipped. And only after that the possibility of flowering of a homely beauty is allowed.

To preserve the compact volumes of the rose bush in the period preceding the beginning of the active growth of the buds, that is, in early spring, forming pruning is performed.

Breeding

To increase the number of miniature versions of the queen of flowers, a vegetative method of reproduction is used. The main material is the branches remaining after trimming. Their length should not exceed 15 cm, no more than 4 buds are left on the stem.

To cuttings took root, they are placed in water with a dissolved tablet of activated carbon or a mixture of sand and peat. Another option that can help cuttings take root is the treatment of the branches with Kornevin or the infusion of willow branches. Expect the appearance of roots is not earlier than 14-20 days, after which the seedlings are planted in separate containers.

If a sand-peat substrate was used to root the branches, then the cuttings must be placed in an impromptu greenhouse. The development of the root system is evidenced by the beginning of the appearance of new foliage. The period of adaptation of the seedling to room conditions should be gradual.

Transfer

A purchased plant must undergo adaptation to new conditions before being transplanted into a new container that is larger than the shipping pot and is about 5 and 3 cm tall and in diameter, respectively. How to transplant a flower without damaging it? To extract the plant from the pot will help the previously carried out moistening of the soil.

In a new container, it is necessary to lay a layer of drainage, which is covered on top with a small amount of fresh earthen mixture. A plant moved with an earthen lump should stand tightly in a pot, which is ensured by a uniform volume of soil, sprinkled along the edges of the new container. The transplanted flower must be placed in partial shade for several days, and then moved to the designated place. Humidification should be moderate, under the root. Spraying is welcome.

Top dressing begins no earlier than a month after the transplant. Mineral fertilizers are recommended, the solution of which is used twice a month for root and foliar top dressing.

Rose is the queen of flowers, a symbol of beauty and perfection. She is pleasing to the eye, but very capricious of the conditions of detention and requires increased attention. You will learn how to properly care for a room rose at home from our material.

Rose room: photo, types and their description

Indoor roses belong to the Rosaceae family and account for up to 20 thousand varieties. The most common types for growing a house are: Bengal, remodel and polyanthus.

Buying a potted rose: what to look for

It is recommended to purchase a room rose from late spring to mid-autumn: in warm weather, adaptation to new conditions is much better. Professional flower growers are advised to take roses with unopened buds. If flowering has already begun, then most of the flowers are cut off to stimulate plant growth.

Before acquiring, they inspect leaves and soil from all sides for diseases and pests. The buds should be evenly colored and tight, the foliage should be clean and green, without dryness and no signs of wilting, and should hold tightly on the stem. The earth is well moistened over the entire depth to the bottom of the pot: if the soil dries up during transportation, the flower will soon die.

Before buying, you need to observe the rose you like in dynamics, inspecting the plant every 3-4 days. Despite the fact that the rose will be grown at home, you should buy hardened plants grown outdoors in your area, rather than in a greenhouse. Then they are not afraid of fluctuations in temperature and humidity.

Caring for a rose at home

The first time caring for a home rose in a pot should be completely identical to the store one, at the time of purchase. Later, when the plant adapts, it will be possible to slightly change the conditions of detention, but adhere to certain rules.

Temperature and humidity

Home rose does not respond well to heat and dry air. Due to these conditions, the top layer of the substrate is dried out, the leaves dry out and pests appear. Therefore, you can not put a rose next to heating appliances.

In summer, the air temperature should be moderate - up to plus 20 gr. Celsius, and in the winter cool - up to plus 5 gr. Celsius. The plant prefers moist, cool air, but is afraid of drafts. In May, with the completion of night frosts, indoor roses can be displayed on the terrace or balcony.

Watering and spraying mode

Caring for a room rose after purchase consists in watering under the root after the top layer of the earth has dried. To do this, you need water at room temperature, which has settled for at least 3 days.

Foliar irrigation - spraying, carried out every 2-3 days in the evening with boiled water from a spray bottle. During the spring and summer growth, the number of irrigations is increased up to 5 times a week. In the autumn, after flowering, they are reduced to 1-2 times a week. Every 7 days a warm shower is arranged, abundantly pouring from a watering can with a nozzle heated with water to plus 40-45 gr. Celsius.

Lighting

The plant is placed on the southeast or west side. In summer, roses are transferred to shaded places with access to fresh, cool air. With a short daylight in winter, the plant is illuminated with fluorescent lamps.

Nutrient and top dressing

Nutritious soil for home roses is prepared by mixing turf soil, humus and sand in a 4: 4: 1 ratio, adding complex fertilizers in granules, such as: Activin, Planton, Biopon. Indoor roses are fertilized, alternating mineral and organic fertilizing, twice a week during vegetation and growth, from spring to late summer.

In cloudy weather and in winter, plants do not fertilize. Fertilizing is not applied to patients and newly transplanted roses. For better fertilizer penetration and aeration, the soil is periodically loosened after watering.

Potted roses

The removal of yellowed leaves and wilted flowers is carried out during the growing season on the growing moon. The second time the procedure is repeated before wintering: reduce the length of the shoots to 10 cm, each leaving up to 4-5 buds. After this, the plant is placed in a cool shaded place. Pruning on time stimulates early and lush flowering.

Indoor rose reproduction video

Home rose propagated by cuttings that remain after pruning. The procedure is carried out in exactly the same way as for garden varieties, and is described in detail in.

Transplanting a room rose is carried out annually in the spring on the growing moon according to the lunar calendar. The rose is abundantly watered and 20 minutes after absorbing the water, the container is turned over and the plant is carefully removed.

The lump with roots is easily separated from the pot, it is placed in a new container and sprinkled with fresh soil, leaving 2 cm free to the edge. The plant is placed in the shade and the engraftment is periodically checked. If the vegetation process has begun a month later, they carry out the first feeding.

The container for transplantation is chosen more than the previous one: 2 cm in diameter, and up to 7 cm in height. Ceramic pot is filled with warm water for 2 hours before use. The pot that has already been used before cleaning is cleaned with a stiff brush in boiling water without using soap. Before laying the earth in a container with a drain, 1 cm of expanded clay drainage is made. In the absence of a hole for water drainage, the drainage layer is 3 cm.

Transplanting a room rose after purchase is not carried out, the plant needs time up to 30 days to adapt.

Total

To grow a home rose in a pot you need to make a lot of effort. The culture is quite picky and demanding of the conditions of detention, which you can create without problems in a house or apartment according to our recommendations. Provide roses with the necessary care and beautiful flowers will delight you for many years.

You will not surprise anyone with roses in the flower garden - these flowers are very popular, although capricious, there is a much less common indoor look, the care of which requires more attention.

Varieties and varieties suitable for growing a house

To achieve beautiful long-term flowering, for a rose at home, you need:

• provide space;
• maintain optimal humidity and air temperature;
• observe watering rules depending on the time of year;
• periodically carry out the necessary hygiene procedures;
• monitor the plant and prevent infection by diseases and pests from other indoor flowers.

Having taken care of the proper wintering of your home rose, you will be able to see the first buds already in March, and with proper care, the plant will decorate your house with lovely flowers that overshadow the rest of the greenery with its beauty.

Now in any flower shop you can find miniature roses of various varieties, perfect for growing at home. Outwardly, they are very similar to ordinary garden ones, only with smaller sizes - compact bushes reach only 35 cm in height. The miniature beauty in the pot looks unusually graceful: against the background of small neat leaves of dark green color, contrasting flowers stand out lovely flowers with a diameter of one and a half to four centimeters, painted in different colors and spreading a wonderful fragrance.

The following varieties of miniature roses grow especially well at home: Judy Fischer with pink double flowers, copper-pink New Penny, carmine Angela Rippon, Baby Darling orange-pink, fragrant pale yellow flowers Yellow Doll, crimson Starina with an intense aroma and silver pink grade Cinderella.

Home roses

One of the advantages of the miniature species is that it is propagated perfectly by cuttings, and you can easily grow several new plants from one bush you bought.

In addition to miniature roses for growing a house, you can choose low varieties of other varieties:

• unpretentious Bengal, providing long-term lush flowering (Ophelia cultivar with apricot-pink flowers, Pink Grotendors cultivar blooming twice a year with pink rose inflorescences);
• highly branched multi-flowered polyanthus (cultivar Orange Triumph with bright red flowers, pale pink fragrant flowers of the variety Clotilde Super, variety Miniatures with small double flowers of pink and white color);
• fragrant tea hybrid (La France variety with strongly double flowers, Miss Rowena Tom, Gruss en Teplitz, Jules Boucher).

If you want to move low varieties growing in your flower garden to the apartment, choose those plants that were obtained from cuttings with their own roots, and not grafted on rose hips. Otherwise, you are unlikely to be able to save roses grown by yourself - caring for them indoors will not bring results.

Transplanting and caring for a purchased room rose

In flower shops, miniature species imported from abroad are mainly sold, which means that plants are weakened by various regulators and growth stimulants. Having delivered such a rose home, you will need to take care of its transplantation into a more spacious pot with fresh soil.

If the flower is young, the first buds will have to be removed, no matter how sorry they are. But, having sacrificed several small buds, in return you will receive a plentifully flowering bush. The first bud that appears needs not only to be removed, but to pinch the stem over a well-developed bud, from which then two shoots will immediately appear. They will need to do the same procedure with pinching the stems. And with the advent of third-order shoots, you can safely allow the home rose to bloom!

Flowering, well-developed plants are often treated with drugs that slow the development of new buds. However, as soon as the drug ceases to function, the buds actively begin to grow, and the bush can quickly acquire an irregular shape and an unkempt appearance. Usually this happens closer to spring, so you first need to have time to carry out the forming pruning of the bush, and your home beauty will remain compact.

Blooming, well-developed miniature roses are often treated with drugs that slow the development of new buds.

As for the transplant, you should not carry it out on the same day that you purchased the rose. Let the plant get a little used to the new conditions. To do this, put the flower pot on the southeast or east window and water as needed for several days.

The transplant is carried out as follows:

• prepare a pot slightly larger than the one in which the plant was;
• if other flowers used to grow in the pot, wash it with warm water without soap;
• at the bottom of the pot, lay a claydite layer for drainage of 1 cm, if there is no drain hole, make a drainage layer 3 cm;
• pour on top of expanded clay a nutritious soil mixture of turf land, humus and sand, adding complex fertilizer;
• sprinkle the earth with fertilizers with a layer of earth without fertilizers, so as not to burn the roots;
• pour plenty of home-bought rose abundantly and after 20 minutes carefully remove it from the previous container, being careful not to destroy the lump of soil and not damage the roots (fertilizer granules remaining in the roots should not be washed off);
• install a stem with a lump of earth in a pot (the root neck should be underground), sprinkle with soil mixture on all sides, compact it and top up so much earth so that a couple of centimeters remain to the edge of the pot;
• spray the leaves with water and place in a shaded place.

Home rose transplant

Within a day, it will be possible to move the transplanted rose to its permanent place and water it under the root of the settled water as the soil dries up. From the next month, start dressing by watering the plant once every two weeks with a solution of mineral fertilizer or by spraying the leaves.

Care Rules

No matter how capricious a room rose is, caring for it will not require much effort if you take care to create suitable conditions. First of all, it concerns the light mode and air humidity. Dry air is contraindicated in a flower; therefore, it is especially important to spray it regularly during the heating season. And in the summer it is advisable to move the roses to the balcony, to the terrace, to the street, or at least open the windows so that because of the stuffiness in the rooms the pot residents do not stop their flowering. Like garden views, indoor ones need a lot of light, but you should not keep it constantly on the south window, otherwise the flowers will open quickly and fall off immediately.

Video about the care of indoor roses

How to care for a home rose at different times of the year? In the summer, you will need to water the flower abundantly, preventing the earthen coma from drying out, and also make sure that the plant does not overheat and does not become sick. Cut wilted flowers with secateurs. In autumn, indoor flowers can be moved from the balcony to the southern windows and reduce the frequency of watering. At the end of flowering, roses are transferred to larger pots.

For the winter, it is advisable to transfer the plants to a cooler room (with a temperature of +15), if there is one, and if not, then at least remove them away from heating and household appliances. Preparation of home roses for wintering consists of pruning branches (each leave no more than five buds), which can be used for later. Water the flower once a week in winter, and with the advent of spring and the opening of the first leaves, watering is increased and fed with a solution of bird droppings or mullein.

Homemade roses in pots are a miniature copy of the Queen of the Garden, but from this she did not become less attractive. That is why a rose in a pot has recently been an alternative to a traditional bouquet, and their photos can be found on the relevant sites. And if in the first weeks after the purchase (gift) the rose looks great thanks to numerous fertilizers and stimulants, then it will not be easy to maintain the attractiveness of this “living bouquet” in the future. But if you try, then the award in the form of a brightly blooming rose will be a worthy reward for your efforts.

Indoor Rose: Variety of Species

Another argument in favor of the fact that a room rose is no worse than a bouquet, says a variety of species:

• bengal rose is the most adapted species for growing at home, care is quite simple (when compared with other varieties), therefore - the most common. Flowering is long, it can last until the New Year, however, the plant will have to be additionally illuminated. In addition, the plant does not drop foliage for the winter, continuing to delight with decorative greenery. Flowers - semi-double, medium-sized, shades of red (from bright red to dark red), almost always - without aroma. At home, the bush grows small, does not need to be pruned - only diseased and weak branches are removed, after complete pruning, the plant will simply die

• chinese rose - it’s important to understand that it is a rose, not a rose hibiscus, which we traditionally call the "Chinese rose", although in fact it does not have the slightest relation to the pink family. The Chinese rose is the smallest of all indoor species, the bush does not grow above 15 cm, the flowers are tiny, no more than 2 cm in diameter, while there are many species that differ in color (yellow, burgundy, red, orange and even silver shades) , the kind of flower and the presence of smell. Chinese rose (most species) needs a cold wintering.

If we talk about home (apartment) growing conditions, then polyanthus roses are widely represented in them, they are easy to care for, these flowers are not too capricious, plus they smell good:

• triumph - a fairly large rose, flowers - with bright red, pleasing flowering from spring to early winter, can perfectly winter on a cool windowsill
• miniatures - a mini-bush, flowers - terry, white or pink in color, perfectly winters in the house, its propagation is very easy to cut by cuttings - roots make their way 5-6 days after placing the cuttings in water

• gloria is a medium-sized rose, it has very tiny flowers, which, due to their unusual color, resemble smoldering embers. It looks very attractive, but it has absolutely no aroma. For wintering, it must be moved to a separate place where the temperature does not exceed 10C

• clotilde is a small bush that is richly covered with double flowers with a pleasant aroma. The peculiarity of the variety is that the flowers gradually change color, from light pink (as soon as the bud has opened) to white after a few days.

Potted home rose: care, transplant, reproduction

Caring for a room rose is very difficult, it is a very demanding and moody plant for keeping at home. They begin to take care of the fact that they select the right place:

• illumination - there should be a lot of light, therefore, for the "blooming bouquet" a sunny window sill is suitable, and that the flowers do not disappear with the onset of autumn, the flower will have to be additionally highlighted
• if you want to grow a home rose - do not allow the soil (pot) to overheat, therefore, setting the flower on the sunny side, the pot must be shaded, closing it from hot sunlight
• no drafts - you may even have to set up barriers or light guards around the rose

Watering

Regular, quite plentiful, care should not allow the drying up of an earthen coma - which is especially important if you grow flowers on the bright south side. The main rule is that the rose does not tolerate cold water, therefore it should be watered only with standing water at room temperature.

Advice!   After watering, after half an hour from the pan, it is necessary to remove water that has not been absorbed.

Transfer

Domestic roses are very sensitive to transplants, due to the destruction of an earthen coma and damage to the root system, they can ache for a long time and poorly take root. Therefore, they are transplanted as necessary, the main indicator that the rose became crowded in the pot - the roots became visible in the drainage hole. The best time to transplant is the growing moon.

Advice! Do not rush to transplant a rose you just bought, even if the store pot categorically does not fit into the interior - you need to give the rose some time so that it can adapt to the new conditions.

To successfully grow a room rose, you need to not only choose the right pot, but also prepare it for planting. The new pot should be 2-4 cm (no more) wider than the previous and 5-7 - higher. If in a ceramic pot (this is especially important for unglazed ones) nothing grew before that (it’s absolutely new), then it must be soaked for 2 hours in warm water. If the pot has already been used and something has grown in it, then it is thoroughly washed in cold water, carefully cleaned with a stiff brush.

Top dressing

At home, fertilizing a home rose is carried out in two ways - root and foliar top dressing. As root dressing, you can irrigate with mullein (as an option - to purchase high-grade mineral fertilizer), spending it during the active vegetation period 2 times a month, with the appearance of buds - even 1 time per week. In the rest of the time (period - summer-spring), dressing can be carried out once every 2-3 weeks, be sure - after watering the plant. For spraying (foliar top dressing), special solutions are acquired, while its concentration must be made slightly weaker than indicated in the instructions. In autumn and spring, when the care of the rose is minimal, top dressing is stopped.

Cuttings are the easiest and most effective way to propagate a room rose, it is carried out in May-September, choosing the middle part for the cuttings with a thin faded branch, leaving only 2-4 buds on it.

Advice! In order for breeding to succeed in the future, it is very important to make the first cut correctly. The lower section is performed obliquely, choosing a place 1 cm below the kidney (the kidney itself should be directed upwards) the upper one is straight, 0.5 cm above the upper kidney.

Freshly cut cuttings must be immediately placed in water or wet sand, preventing even short-term drying of the slices - this sharply reduces the survival rate. Using water for rooting, it should be remembered that the water that was poured for the first time cannot be changed, even if it turns green - you just need to add fresh water if it becomes smaller. Such care will ensure the early appearance of roots.

When the roots reach 1-2 cm in length (photo 1), the cuttings can be planted, while the root neck is not deepened, it should remain at the soil level. You need to carefully sprinkle the roots - they are very fragile and easy to damage. The cuttings continue to grow in a bright place, but where direct sunlight does not fall. If the reproduction is carried out correctly, then after a couple of weeks the kidneys should start growing.

Propagation by cuttings allows not only to preserve varietal characters at home, but also to obtain a plant that is optimally adapted to the conditions of a particular room (apartment).

Pruning

Care for home rose must include pruning. If you neglect it, then next summer instead of a bright bouquet you will have a sluggish, sparsely flowering plant. Pruning is best done with the growing moon, using a pruner or sharp knife. First of all, weak, sick, small and interwoven branches are removed. On healthy branches, with matured wood, shoots with 5-6 eyes are left, on shoots weaker - 3-4 eyes (photo 2).

Advice! After pruning, roses are placed in a cool (10-12C) room where they winter. After the first new leaves appear, the rose is again returned to its usual place.

Having bought a young rose - a sapling that has only one central trunk, you must not let it begin to bloom. In order to grow a healthy full-fledged rose at home, the first bud that appears must be removed, then you need to find a well-developed bud on the trunk and stick the stem over it. It's okay - soon two shoots will appear in this place, and at the moment when the buds begin to form on them, the operation must be repeated again. Only after you can grow the stems of the third order can the rose bloom. It will take time, but as a result, you will have a properly developing, healthy and strong plant.

Now there are many plants that can be grown at home. For example, it is a miniature, or, as it is more often called, indoor rose. It is difficult to find a person who would not admire the fragrant flower of this species. She is rightly called the queen of all colors. Poets and writers sang in their works this beautiful plant in all respects. Men give their lovers whole bouquets of red roses.

Secrets of choice

In order not to get disappointed in further cultivation when buying this wonderful green creation, you need to know some subtleties and secrets:

1. First of all, you should pay attention to the number of colors. According to popular belief, there should be a lot of them. But experts advise nevertheless to focus on the number of unopened buds.
2. Do not buy weakened plants. To return to the rose its former vitality on the shoulder only to an experienced grower.
3. The number of young shoots indicates the state of the indoor rose plant. This means that the adaptation of the flower under the new conditions will be painless. And if, upon arrival at home, several already opened buds are removed, this procedure will noticeably reduce the load on the plant and increase the chances of successfully adapting to new conditions. Do not be afraid that the plant will lose its attractiveness somewhat: the buds on it will bloom quite quickly and replace cut flowers
4. You need to properly inspect the leaves and stems of the plant you like: whether they are affected by diseases or pests. Different color spots on the leaves and stems of the bush indicate damage to fungal diseases.
5. The crumbled or yellowed foliage indicates a depletion of vital resources or acidification of the soil from excessive watering. Such a flower will also be difficult to reanimate.

Some subtleties of the adaptation period

Having received a gift from friends or having bought a miniature rose in a flower shop, do not rush to transplant it immediately. The queen of plants is a very whimsical flower and, like any beauty, is capricious. It is necessary to give time to this plant to adapt to new conditions. Two to three weeks is enough for this.

After buying and putting the plants to your home, you need to wash it under a barely warm shower. This is a preventative measure that destroys the spider mite. For greater certainty, it is proposed to additionally treat the acquired bush with Fitoferm or Agrovertin preparations.

You can do the transplant, making sure that the plant has a healthy appearance. This is a necessary procedure, as roses are grown in small pots and with a minimum amount of nutrient soil in the greenhouse. The vital activity of the plant is supported by special nutrient solutions. Therefore, in no case can not be delayed with a rose transplant. Otherwise, she may fall ill and eventually die.

How to care for a home rose

Many do not know how to properly care for a room rose. To transplant a plant, it will be necessary to purchase a flower pot and soil mixture. The size of the new tank should be only slightly larger than the existing one. Of all the pots offered for sale, of course, it is better to purchase simple ceramic without varnish. They have a porous structure, which promotes ventilation of the root system of the plant. All this can be bought in garden centers or flower shops.

As a rule, 3-4 plants are rooted in greenhouses. Therefore, after the end of the adaptation period, roses must be transplanted.

The Queen of Flowers is a very capricious plant and does not tolerate any effect on the root system. Therefore, one must carefully approach this procedure. Before transplanting, the flower must be abundantly watered and after one and a half hours, proceed to the transplant procedure.

You also need to prepare flower pots in advance for future residents. At the bottom of each should lay a small layer of expanded clay (you can do with small pebbles) for better drainage from a nutritious coma. A small layer of sphagnum or charcoal should be placed on the drainage.

Then carefully separate the plants and plant them in the pots prepared for them. In separate containers, cultures will grow better and bloom more magnificent than with a thickened planting, as they will be in more favorable conditions.

The size of the new tank should be only slightly larger than the existing one.

Any universal soil is suitable for transplanting, but it is still better to use a special soil mixture for roses or prepare it yourself on the basis of: 1 part of garden soil, 2 parts of humus, 2 parts of peat and 0.5 parts of river sand.

If the purchased rose is alone in the pot or it is not possible to divide the bushes without damaging them, the plant should be transplanted by simple transshipment.

Indoor roses require proper care. By their nature, they are photophilous plants, and therefore those window sills that the sun illuminates for the longest time are best suited for them. But on hot days, the plant is still better to slightly pritenit. Sufficient lighting can be judged by seeing abundant growth and flowering. With a lack of light, the plant stretches, the leaves become pale in color. As a rule, in this case, the rose almost does not throw buds and is often sick. If there is not enough light, additional illumination must be done. For this, ordinary daylight lamps are suitable.

The Queen of Flowers will generously respond to sufficient watering with abundant flowering and its longevity. It must be carried out as the top layer of the earth dries up.

There is an easy way to determine when to water. If with a light pressure on the ground in a pot it was dry with a finger, then the time has come for watering. If the earth is stuck to the finger, moistening should be postponed. In no case should you go to extremes when watering. Excess moisture contributes to acidification of the soil and the development of fungal diseases of the root system. Excessively dry soil does not allow the plant to receive good nutrition. As a result, it sheds leaves and grows poorly.

For full, abundant growth and especially flowering, miniature roses, like garden roses, must be regularly fed. To do this, you can use complex organic fertilizers with the addition of minerals and trace elements for flowering indoor plants. They must be introduced every week, according to the manufacturer's recommendations, throughout the flowering period - from early spring to late autumn (March-November).

Pruning and reproduction

In November, when the sunny day was already significantly reduced, indoor roses should be prepared for the rest period. To do this, first of all, you need to trim the bushes. First of all, weak and underdeveloped shoots are removed. Next - those branches that have grown deep into the bush. 3-4 buds are left on young shoots, and 2-3 buds on the main shoot and the most developed branches. Leaves on shortened branches do not cut.

Young shoots at a room rose will subsequently replace the old ones, and thanks to this the bush will rejuvenate.

Roses in flowerpots propagate by cuttings. The best time for this is from May to August. The most suitable material for cutting cuttings is stems with a diameter of 2.5-3.5 cm. Cuttings are cut with 2-3 internodes.

The ends of the planting material are dipped in a solution of heteroauxin, placed in a glass filled with water about 4 cm, and placed in a well-lit place.

Cuttings give roots in two weeks. An important detail: in the glass where the cuttings are placed, the water does not need to be changed, even if the walls are green. Simply add fluid to its original volume.

From the moment of growing a good lobe of the roots, the cuttings should be transplanted into small pots and removed for 2 weeks in a place where direct sunlight will not fall on them.

With successful engraftment, and if room rose care is followed, after 2 months a full-fledged plant will grow from the cuttings and the first flowering will begin.

Preparing for winter rest

From about mid-October, roses begin to feel discomfort, this becomes noticeable by a slowdown in the growth of new shoots, the appearance of underdeveloped buds. The foliage on the bush begins to turn yellow and fall. Roses are not evergreens of tropical countries; they have their own biorhythm, similar in nature to biorhythms of ordinary garden crops. The yellowing foliage on the bush lets the owner know that autumn has come for the flower queen and it is time for her to go to rest before spring.

In order to adequately prepare your favorite plant for the rest period, from the beginning of November it is necessary to significantly reduce watering - up to 2 times a week. The bush is trimmed and determined in a cool place (on an insulated balcony, a loggia or in the basement) until the beginning of February. It must be remembered that the temperature in the room where the roses "rest" should not fall below + 8 ° C. Optimum performance for winter storage of indoor roses - + 12-16 ° C.

To maintain the moisture level necessary for this period, it is advisable to place the plant in a pan filled with expanded clay, slightly watered with water, and do not forget to periodically spray a lump of earth in a pot.

In the absence of time or the desire to tinker with a rose in winter, it is enough to place the plant in a room with a temperature of 0 ° C.

Around the end of February, the flower will let you know about the onset of spring - the roses will begin to swell in the rose. This means that it is time to transfer it to its former place in the room. The watering rate must be gradually increased, stimulating the gradual return of the rose to the period of active flowering. Since in February the sunny day is not so long and cloudy days are often there, you need to make additional illumination for the flower by installing a phytolamp.

Diseases and Pests

Miniature roses are susceptible to the same fungal diseases as other indoor flowers. As a rule, infections are affected either by young or weakened indoor plants, those that received improper care.

The most common disease of most flowering houseplants is fungal, called powdery mildew. Excessive fertilizing, poorly ventilated rooms, severe thickening of the plant itself - this is the environment in which this infection is actively developing. The appearance of a white coating on the leaves and stems of a rose is a signal for active actions to save the flower. It is necessary to remove the affected leaves, buds and shoots and treat the bush with Topaz or Fundazole preparations.

False powdery mildew is very similar to the disease described above. When the plant is affected by this fungus, a white coating appears only on the back of the leaf. From above, yellowish spots are visible on it. This fungal disease spreads quickly through moist leaves when spraying roses. The fight against the disease is similar to the elimination of powdery mildew - this is pruning of affected leaves and stems and treatment with fungicide.

The appearance of red or bright orange spots with brown pustules on the leaves of the plant indicates another often common disease - the so-called rust of roses. She is amazed at indoor flowers receiving inadequate or improper care at home. The treatment of a diseased bush is to create appropriate conditions. But first you need to cut off all the affected areas and treat them with the appropriate drugs (Topsin, Oksikhom).
