Room rose care - transplant and disease; indoor rose in winter; indoor roses after purchase

Not even a few weeks have passed, and the flower queen turns into a black unpresentable stump. Neither feeding nor transplanting helps. What's the matter? How to keep and grow a rose at home?

Breeding issue

There are several ways to propagate a rose:

• with the help of cuttings, offspring and layering;
• by dividing the bush.

Cutting is the fastest way to propagate a rose
The grafting process has the following features:

1. Summer is considered the best breeding season. Cuttings are cut from the branches, on each of them there should be 2-3 buds.
2. The bottom cut must be made oblique. The kidney should be pointing up. The upper cut is made straight.
3. Cuttings are placed in water or in a mixture of peat and sand (1: 1). It is important to do this before the planting material dries.
4. The water in which the stem is located must not be poured out, even if the liquid turns green. When the roots appear and reach a size of 1-2 cm, the plant must be planted in a pot.
5. The sprouts should be placed in a well-lit place, but they should not be exposed to direct sunlight. Cuttings need to be watered periodically. After two weeks, young flowers will appear.

At home, the culture is also propagated by dividing the bush:

1. This procedure is recommended in the spring. The bush is removed from the pot and cut into several pieces with a sharp knife or secateurs. In each, it is necessary to save several shoots.
2. The roots damaged during the digging process are cut to a healthy area. Shoots are also shortened. It is enough to leave 3-4 buds on each. Small branches are removed.
3. The roots are dipped in a clay solution and the culture is planted in a pot.

Important! For the bush to form correctly, the upper buds must be directed to the outside or to the side.

Royal conditions for a room rose: how to transplant a plant and provide it with decent care?

The rose has been the queen of flowers for a long time. Its magical and enchanting beauty touches the hearts of many gardeners. There are no people who would be indifferent to her. The rose is so diverse that for each house you can choose exactly the type and variety that suits only him.

Many people consider the rose too picky, they are afraid to take on its cultivation. Of course, during the growth of a flower, you can face certain difficulties. But even with them, if done correctly, it is quite easy to cope with. Most of the problems arise during the plant transplant process. This process must be treated with special care. In the article we will tell you how to transplant a flower after purchase and properly care for a room rose at home.

First care after transplant

• Temperature. The optimal temperature regime in summer is 20-25 degrees, in winter - 10-15 degrees.
• Air humidity. In a dry room, a room rose needs to be sprayed with warm water 2 times a day.No need to spray in a cool room.
• Lighting. Indoor rose is a light-loving plant, so you need to grow it on the windowsill of the east and southeast windows. In the spring, the flower can be supplemented.
• Top dressing. During the period of active growth, you need to feed a room rose once a week. Fertilizers should be applied alternating organic and mineral.
• Watering. Watering a room rose should be done as the earth dries up. The plant treats overflow very badly, because it can lead to acidification of the soil. The flower is watered at the root.

We offer you to get acquainted with an informative video about caring for a room rose after transplantation:

Growing a room rose is a very difficult task. But this does not prevent many gardeners from observing all the conditions to provide it with everything necessary. After all, everyone wants to have a lovely rose with graceful flowers and an unusually pleasant aroma in his house.

Room rose care

I tried to collect for you the most relevant tips for caring for indoor roses. Compliance with these simple rules will help you, as it helped me, to bring your indoor roses to the state of the highest decorativeness, so to speak. For the sixth year now, indoor roses have been the cause of my special pride and the black envy of my friends, who had to be handed out by cut to avoid the evil eye.

So, my "golden" rules for growing indoor roses.

Features of the procedure

When can and cannot be exercised?

1. You can transplant a room rose at any time of the year. It is possible in the summer, since the air temperature in the room practically does not change. But many breeders recommend spring, as it should be in a cool room after transplanting.
2. The procedure is performed after its flowering.
3. An indoor plant cannot be transplanted on the day of store purchase. She needs to adapt to new conditions (what kind of care does she need after shopping in a store?).

Sometimes, the plant needs an emergency transplant.

Emergency cases

Reasons for an emergency transplant include:

• Overgrowth of roots.
• Flower disease.

What time to choose?

Spring is considered the right time, as mentioned above., since the air temperature in the room at this time is lower than in summer. For this process, you need to create cool conditions in the room, then the flower will take root better.

Room rose care point by point

Roses in indoor conditions

Indoor roses react painfully to low water temperatures when watering, extreme heat in summer and high indoor temperatures in winter. Regularly inspect a room rose for pests or diseases: the sooner you find them, the less harm they will cause to the plant. Roses need to be transplanted very carefully, since these flowers are characterized by increased sensitivity of the roots. As soon as the buds and flowers of a room rose begin to wither and dry, remove them without regret: dead flowers take away the plant's strength!

Indoor roses after purchase

Firstly, do not rush to transplant into a new pot, even if the old one absolutely does not fit into your interior. Wait! Let the rose adapt to its new home. As I said, the indoor rose plant loves south and southeast windows.

Roses are very fond of evening bathing: spray roses with cool boiled water, but do not abuse this procedure in too hot summer!

Transplanting a room rose

How to transplant a room rose? I advise you to carry out the transshipment of roses during the waxing moon. In each tear-off calendar, they must write the phase of the moon for each day. When transplanting, I remind you once again, be careful not to damage the roots!

To protect the pot from overheating, I advise you to bury a room rose in a pot, taken out in the garden for the summer, in a box with earth.

When watering a room rose, make sure that the water flows under the root and does not fall on the leaves.The best time to water is early morning and evening.

Top dressing indoor roses

I feed indoor roses with mullein solution once every two weeks, and during flowering - weekly. Sick and recently transplanted plants do not need to be fed. In addition, roses do not take good nutrition on cloudy and cold days.

Room rose in winter

How to care for a room rose in winter? Before sending my roses “to winter apartments”, I cut the roses so that 4-5 living buds remain on each branch. Pruning a room rose for the winter allows roses not to be late in blooming in the new season. If you forget to prune your roses before winter, pruning can be done in early spring.

Caring for indoor roses in winter comes down to watering every three days and spraying. Make sure that the air in the room where the plant hibernates is not too dry: place containers with clean water around the roses for evaporation.

When to take a room rose outside

As soon as the nights become warm and the threat of spring frosts has passed, the rose can be taken out to the balcony. The rose must first adapt to light in the shade for three weeks, and then it can be rearranged from shade to diffused light.

Indoor roses are afraid of drafts, but a cylinder made of thick paper can protect a pot of roses from them. The height of the protective sheath should be about half the height of the potted plant.

How to transplant purchased flowers

*

Houseplants are bought regardless of the season, and how to resist, if you really like a beautiful flower. However, when the coveted plant is delivered to a new place of residence, serious tests await him. The most common mistake is to immediately transplant a beginner into a larger pot, even though the plant is already under stress. First, it was taken out of the usual conditions of some Dutch greenhouse, kept in a container for a long time during transportation and customs clearance. True, then it took a little rest in the store. Of course, he did not have enough light, humidity, but it could be endured, remembering the horrors of the road. Finally, we bought a little miracle and brought it into the house. It is here that you need to give the plant at least a couple of weeks to adapt to new conditions of illumination, air humidity, temperature. And we pull it out of our native soil, breaking off the tender roots, put it in another soil and put it on the windowsill, where it pulls cold from the glass and at the same time the batteries “burst out” hotly.

Basic rules for transplanting purchased indoor plants

First, each new plant should remain in its "native" pot for two to three weeks. At this time, it needs to be watered regularly, and the crown should be sprayed and protected from direct sunlight. Second. For a new resident, you should pick up a pot with a diameter of 2-3 cm larger than the one in which he grew up. However, greenhouse plants are often sold in very small seedling pots. The diameter of the new pot should not exceed the current crown diameter of the plant. However, there are plants that develop better precisely in tight containers, these are, first of all, epiphytes, many types of cacti and succulents, hoya, etc. This can be clarified in the florist's guide. In a pot that is too spacious, the plant often dies. The reason is that it is difficult to organize proper watering in such a container. It also happens that the soil around the periphery of the pot is waterlogged, and the plant dies from drought, because the old earthy clod with roots does not receive enough moisture, and the roots do not have time to grow back to get where you can "get drunk." Third. When transplanting, try not to disturb the earthen lump.With a sharp knife, just cut off the roots that have gone beyond the coma, but do not try to straighten out the coarse roots that are intertwined in a cramped pot. Take a close look at the area of ​​the root collar, which should be completely healthy. Small white crumbs in the substrate are crushed polystyrene, and yellow ones are prolonged-release fertilizers. Neither should be removed from the soil.

Plastic and ceramic pots have their own advantages and disadvantages. On cold windowsills, a plastic pot is still better, because the soil in it is not supercooled. And the advantages of clay pots are lost after one and a half to two years, since tap water clogs the pores and the pot stops "breathing". In my opinion, in order for the soil to have enough air, it is necessary to loosen it regularly, and add hydrogel to the soil mixture. Fourth. Pots usually have drainage holes, but I would recommend widening them. In any pot, drainage material must be poured onto the bottom with a layer not less than the height of the pallet, and even better if it occupies a fifth of the height of the pot. For succulents, the drainage layer should be one third of the height of the pot. As drainage, you can use small shards, expanded clay, charcoal or crushed foam. The latter, by the way, has good thermal insulation. Fifth. When buying a land mixture, you need to choose only one that contains high-moor peat. Avoid home mixes if they include compost or humus. If you add humus, then only that which is obtained from the leaves of maple, birch and linden. Sixth. After transplanting, cover the plant with a plastic bag for about a week. This will save you the need to spray it 2 times a day. In the first week, it is advisable to protect the new pet from direct sunlight.

Caring for transplanted plants, how and when to properly water, feed, foliar feeding

In the first two months after transplanting, the plants cannot be fed. At this time, they are watered with soft water directly under the root and make sure that the area of ​​the old earthen coma at a depth of 1-1.5 cm is not dry. And only then they begin to water the plants along the edge of the pot. If a beginner has leaves hanging, it is not a fact that you have dried him. This often comes from waterlogging. Therefore, check how deep the soil has dried before watering. Never leave water in the pan for more than 20 minutes. This rule, of course, does not apply to such moisture-loving plants as, for example, cyperus, calla or canna. It is desirable for them to make deeper pallets and fill them with fine expanded clay. It is enough to simply humidify it without making an open "reservoir". Feeding the plants should be done carefully so as not to burn the roots. It is convenient to use long-acting fertilizer sticks. In stores, you can buy liquid fertilizers for indoor flowers. Remember that they only need fertilizer during the growing season. Therefore, in winter, it is necessary to feed only those flowers that continue to grow due to their individual characteristics or intense artificial lighting. Usually, each fertilizer contains a concentration for preparing a solution, but I advise you to use only half the rate, this is quite enough. Moisten the soil in the pot before feeding. During the growth period, it is advisable to feed your pets every 7-10 days. If the plant has been overdried, then first bring it to life with watering and spraying within a week, and only then offer to "eat". Foliar dressing is very effective. To do this, dilute the nutrient solution with water and spray the plants until all the leaves are wet. By the way, this top dressing is good at any time of the year, regardless of plant growth, and even two to three weeks after transplanting. Give indoor flowers only mineral or humate fertilizers.Do not use mullein infusion or water after washing meat and fish, because you do not need unpleasant odors and annoying midges in the house. But you can water the plants with infusion of tea and coffee, just do not put drunk tea or coffee grounds in the pots. For feeding, pour a tea leaf or coffee grounds with soft water, let stand for 20-30 minutes, strain and water the plants.

Indoor roses in pots, which we buy in special nurseries or stores, most often grow in pure peat or other light filler. The composition of such material lacks the nutritional components necessary for the plant. In order for the flowers to have a marketable appearance, manufacturers still feed them with a special solution. After purchase, the rose is transplanted on the same day or wait until the end of flowering. In the article we will tell you how to prepare a bush for transplantation, what materials and tools a florist will need, how to transplant a rose after buying in a store according to all the rules.

We create optimal conditions

However, in this case, the soil in the pot should not be heated, and the bush itself should not suffer from direct sunlight. An excellent place for a rose will be the western and eastern windowsill.... In summer, the rose will be more comfortable on the balcony.

Watering

One of the prerequisites is the constant maintenance of soil moisture. It should be noted right away that in many guides on floriculture you can read that roses need to be watered abundantly. But one must bear in mind that abundantly does not mean often. A lump with roots should have time to dry out. It is time to water the rose only if, when pressing on the soil, the finger remains dry. If over-watered, the roots can rot and the rose will die.

The coma should be monitored especially carefully in the summer. A plant brought out to the balcony sometimes needs to be watered up to twice a day, but not at the hottest time.

The rose on the balcony is watered twice a day

Roses planted in small pots need to be watered more often, as the soil dries out faster. In the second half of August, watering should be reduced. The plant is watered with 20-degree water. Half an hour after the "watering" of the sump bush, excess water is removed.

Top dressing

Indoor roses bloom almost all the time, which takes a lot of their energy. therefore from March to October, once every eight to nine days, the bushes must be fed with complex or universal fertilizers... Organic fertilizers are also suitable. In spring, roses are responsive to foliar dressing. It is enough to carry out three to four sprays with a 10-day interval.

Indoor roses absolutely need a large amount of different fertilizers.

Many growers advise purchasing Bona Forte for roses. The drug is excellent for both foliar dressing and root application.

Fertilizer of open ground Bona Forte for Roses

At the end of summer, fertilizers should be nitrogen-free.

More benefit from evening and post-water fertilization. At low temperatures and dampness, it is better to refuse feeding - to postpone it. If you have just transplanted roses, then carry out the first feeding only after a month, then every two weeks until new shoots appear.

Proper care is the key to abundant flowering

Sure, sometimes it can be difficult to find a common language with roses: they suffer from changing conditions, they may spontaneously get sick or will not forgive you too dry soil, lack of fertilizing, etc. But if they are provided with proper care, in gratitude they will delight you with abundant flowering for almost seven months!

Soil for planting

Indoor rose is a finicky plant. She is very demanding on the composition of the soil. If it is planted in the wrong soil, it may stop growing, and it may not bloom at all. So how to transplant a rose in a pot after purchase?

It is better to purchase a ready-made soil designed specifically for roses. In flower shops, you can easily find the necessary substrate.

But you can also prepare the soil yourself. To do this, it is enough to mix humus, turf soil and sand in a ratio of 4: 4: 1. Florists also recommend adding a little expanded clay to such a soil mixture, which will contribute to the air permeability of the soil.

How to care for a room rose

1. Indoor roses feel better on windows and balconies facing south and southeast.
2. Don't forget about feeding indoor roses!
3. In the summer, indoor roses can be exposed to fresh air, it will only benefit them.
4. During flowering, feed indoor roses at least once a week.
5. During the active growing season, roses should be watered regularly and generously.
6. Don't forget to repot your indoor roses in a larger pot as needed.

Bush preparation

In addition to using soil that is not suitable for permanent cultivation of flowers, treating them with a solution to give a presentable appearance, growers can still plant several plants in one pot. Preparing the bush for transplanting into a new pot and soil, wash it with soapy water. Further, it is recommended to conduct a contrast shower to remove soap residues.

In order not to harm the structure of the foliage, you do not need to use water with a temperature of more than 40 degrees. It is better to leave roses in a pot for 30 minutes in a container filled with water. Plants that you bought in a nursery or shops, after water procedures, are subject to treatment with a solution based on "Epin". This drug has the ability to stimulate the correct growth and development of the plant, to strengthen its immunity. To prepare a solution, 5 drops of the product must be dissolved in 1 liter of water.

After the spraying procedure, the bush must be covered with a plastic bag. It is important to make sure that the bag is less in contact with the foliage. For reliability, it is advised to build a structure of sticks, on which the bag will then be put on. This homemade greenhouse should be left open for 5 minutes every day. The airing time should be increased gradually. As the buds wither, they will need to be removed and the plastic bag removed. Proper preparation and the transplanting process are very important if the grower wants to have a healthy blooming rose in the future.

Required tools and materials

In order for the purchased culture to be able to develop and bloom normally, after the preparatory measures, you need to stock up with tools and materials with which the transplant will be carried out. Prepare a container of a suitable size, made of ceramic or high-quality plastic, the right amount of fertile soil, material for drainage. In order for the plant to grow its root system and develop properly, it is recommended to worry about pots 2 cm larger than the container in which you brought the flower. Can plants be transplanted into an even larger pot? Roses do not need a too spacious flowerpot, as they will actively grow, which will cause a disruption in the process of forming new buds.

And then you can hardly enjoy the beautiful flowering of your culture. An excellent choice would be a ceramic container, which is covered with glaze on the outside. 2 hours before planting the plant, it is advised to place such a container in warm water. The plastic pot should have thick walls and a wide base.

River pebbles, expanded clay, pieces of foam sheets, shards of earthenware are used as drainage. If the pots in which roses will be planted have a drainage hole, the selected material is covered with a layer of 1 cm.When the bottom of the container is solid, the drainage layer should have a height of about 3 cm.

Plants can be planted in open ground, which is made by yourself or purchased from a store.The substrate should be nutritious and light, have a loose structure and a low degree of acidity. If there is no desire to use the purchased soil, it is advised to combine 1 part of sand and 2 parts of peat (rotted manure) and clay-sod soil. In order to improve the degree of air permeability of the open substrate, experienced flower growers add a little small expanded clay to it. When using purchased soil, growers fear that there may be too much dressing in its composition.

If you plan to plant a plant in garden soil, it must be disinfected and checked for the detection of pests.

Step-by-step instructions for transplanting

In order to have beautiful flowering plants in the future, it is important to observe all stages of planting a bush in a new container. To easily remove the rose from the pot, you need to place the roots in warm boiled water. By removing the old substrate, you rid the plant of the chemicals that growers used to feed it to grow quickly.

Further, at the bottom of the container, create a layer of high-quality drainage for the rose, transplant the bush, gradually adding soil and periodically tamping it. At the same time, make sure that at least 2 cm remains to the edges of the flowerpot. The transplanted culture should be placed in a shaded place and left there for a day. Watering during this period is not carried out. For permanent placement of these beautiful flowering plants, they are advised to be placed in an open space with good lighting, but not in the scorching sun. A sill located on the southeast side is perfect.Further, watering is required. It will be correct to pour pre-settled water into the pan.

The process of plant adaptation to new conditions usually takes about 1 month. After this period, it is necessary to feed your beauty with fertilizers intended for this flowering culture. If you carry out the procedure correctly, observe proper care, such beautiful plants bloom profusely, being a true decoration of any interior.

When is it better to do it?

Indoor rose can be transplanted at any time of the year. This is possible because there is no significant temperature difference in the apartments depending on the season. Of course, it is advisable to transplant in the spring. It should be borne in mind that care after transplanting in the summer is quite difficult to provide, because at first the rose should be in a room with a low temperature.

The plant may need an emergency transplant. The reasons for an urgent transplant include:

1. Overgrowth of roots;
2. Flower disease.

Transplant and adaptation

Post-purchase rose processing

Potted indoor roses often grow in clear peat or other loose, nutrient-free litter. While in the store, the rose received everything it needed from a special solution with which it was watered and there is no way to replenish it at home. The plant needs a new source of nutrition. The blackening of the rose, foreshadowing its death, comes from the acidification of peat during watering and infection.

If the rose has buds or blooming flowers, they must be carefully removed, this measure will help the plant save energy for transplantation and adaptation. On the day of purchasing a rose, it is advisable to thoroughly rinse it under a shower of warm water, lowering it "upside down" and holding the soil with a napkin so that tap water does not get on the soil. Then cover generously with lather from laundry soap, hold for 15 minutes and repeat the procedure for rinsing the leaves. Laundry soap in this case serves as an antiseptic and is used as a prophylaxis for spider mites and other parasites. Then it is recommended to spray the rose with Epin, diluting it according to the instructions (5 drops per 0.5 liters of water) and observing all safety rules.

After washing and processing, the rose must be allowed to dry away from direct sunlight and placed in a greenhouse from a plastic bag so that the leaves do not touch the walls of the makeshift greenhouse. It is necessary to air such a greenhouse 2 times a day, each time increasing the testing time.

Rose transplant after purchase

About a week after purchasing a rose, it is recommended to transplant it. As a rule, 2-3 mini-bushes are planted in one pot. When transplanting for each of them, it is necessary to select an individual pot, several centimeters larger than the one in which they originally grew. Expanded clay or other drainage material is poured into the bottom of the pot and special soil for roses is poured.

Transplanting by the transshipment method does not make it possible to process the roots of the rose and assess the degree of their viability. Therefore, it is recommended to completely remove the earthen lump of the rose, thoroughly and carefully rinse the roots, remove non-woven material from the roots, which is often used by manufacturers. A healthy root system should be white, these roots should be sprinkled with Epin's solution (5 drops per 0.5 l of water). The plant is now ready to be planted in a new pot.

Further adaptation will consist in the timely airing of the greenhouse and an increase in the time spent outside the greenhouse.

Pests and diseases of indoor roses

Powdery mildew is enemy number one. Spray the rose with a solution of baking soda at the rate of two teaspoons per liter can of water. Make sure that the soda solution does not get on the soil. It is better to cover the ground during the procedure. The enemy of indoor roses number two is the spider mite.Special preparations will protect from this guest: Actellik, Fitoverm, Neoron works great - it kills not only adult ticks, but also laid eggs. One of my friends a flower girl sprays roses with pure alcohol, as she believes that he fights mites better than store-bought preparations. I haven’t tried it, I don’t know. After treating the plant, thoroughly disinfect the place where it stood, as mites may remain there.

In general, a rose is a very grateful flower, take care of it with love, and it will surely answer you with an amazingly beautiful flowering.

Top dressing

Since water evaporates faster in pots than in open ground, the soil should be fed frequently. Bushes need to be fertilized every 2 weeks in spring and summer. Alternate mineral and organic nutrients.

Standard fertilizers should be used. Before that, they are dissolved in water. It should be borne in mind that it is better not to feed the flowers on cloudy cold days. You should not perform procedures immediately after purchasing or transplanting a plant for a month. It is forbidden to feed sick bushes.

The type was chosen. What conditions should the queen create?

Conditions for home growing roses

What to expect when growing roses at home - to get a flowering bush in late autumn, winter or early spring. This can be achieved by growing the rose in a cool, bright room, like in a greenhouse. It is moderately warm, long daylight hours and high humidity. You can get such conditions at home. It is enough to put a rose on a window illuminated by the sun. Separate the plant from the heating devices with a foil screen, install additional lighting that prolongs daylight hours and periodically spray the bush with warm (2-3 degrees higher than the air temperature) water.

In the summer, indoor flowers are taken out into the street. The first days, depending on the weather, must be protected from the sun's rays. In the morning and evening hours, it is useful to spray the rose bushes with water. Such procedures refresh the rose, increase air humidity and reduce the risk of harmful insects. But it should be remembered that water procedures in cloudy weather should not be carried out, the development of the bush may slow down. In autumn, without waiting for frost, flowers are returned to the windowsill.

To properly grow roses at home in a pot, it is very important to maintain the optimal moisture content of the earthy coma. Watering must be sufficient so that water flows out of the drainage hole. You can leave water in the pan for no more than 2 hours, after which excess water must be removed.

The soil for potted roses should contain the nutrients and trace elements that the plant needs. A mixture of greenhouse humus, clay, sand and rotted manure is suitable as a nutrient soil. You can replace this mixture with a ready-to-grow rose, which is available at any gardening store.

The rose took root and bloomed. Is the goal achieved? No, you need to get another one, of a different type, variety, color.

General characteristics

Indoor roses (also called "miniature") come from the Chinese rose Minima, which was brought to Europe from China in 1810. However, at first they were not very popular. Dutch breeder Jean de Vinck created a hybrid of a small Rouletii rose with a rose called Gloria Mundi. The created variety was named Tom Thumb, which in 1936 became the first patented room rose in the United States.

The average height of a room rose is 20-25 centimeters, some old plants can grow up to 45-50 centimeters. Flowers with a diameter of 1.5-2 centimeters, densely double, collected in inflorescences and rarely bloom singly.

The classic miniature rose is a small bush with carved leaves and rich, vibrant flowers that can be red, white, pink and bright yellow.

Making the right choice of room rose

Due to numerous unsuccessful attempts to breed indoor roses, the status of capricious sissies has taken root behind the thorny beauties.

Popular potted species

1. Cordan.
2. Turbo.
3. Patio.

The latter plant belongs to garden roses, which is the reason for their larger bushes and inflorescences. The maximum height of a room rose is 25 cm. This beautiful bush blooms in May-October.
