Once on my small plot adorned only one bush tea rose (and that has not been purchased and given to me as a gift), but now I a little carried away in breeding these beautiful flowers, and today my "rose gardens" has more than 20 plants of different varieties and colors. In this article I would like to talk about the basic rules for the preparation of roses for the winter period. Let's get started.
Insulate roots
The first step is to make sure that the roots are not loved plants were frozen for the harsh winter. This is especially true of young or recently have undergone transplant bushes. It is better to not be lazy and to hill them to a height of about 10 cm.
For hilling is suitable as a normal dry land and peat. In the spring the soil necessarily need to be removed, and the ground under every bush loosened, so that the roots were able to breathe.
remove leaves
This is done not only for aesthetics, most exciting bacterial diseases of roses "hibernate" is on leaves, so in the end it is better to fall gently, remove from the bush with a thin and secateurs burn.
Timely removal of leaves help the plant does not get sick for the next season.
Cut branches to shelter
Degree of whether or not a branch is ready for cutting, I define a simple way: if it is easily bent between your fingers and have a healthy, natural color, the branch has not yet ripened.
Uncircumcised branch is best to persuade as low as possible to the level of the soil, securing them on the ground using special pins or wire. Be sure to recommend to do this before the first frost: After their risk of broken bush at prigibanii repeatedly increases.
Cover the bushes
By this point, in principle, can be ignored if you live in a region where winter temperatures do not drop below -5 degrees Celsius. Me with "habitat" are not so fortunate, and to The cold in the winter time the roses were frozen, I prefer to cover them with the cover so-called air-dry type.
Build it is quite simple: over the bushes make a frame made of a rigid wire or thin, bending iron bars, and then pounces on him a thick film in several layers. The edges of the film on the sides of the frame tightly obkladyvayut heavy stones and additionally matured to the ground with pegs. This windproof shelter shrubs provide reliable protection from even severe frost.
