Outdoor landing
Despite the fact that almost all types of roses do not require special care, some points should be taken into account when planting.
Seedlings
First of all, you need to purchase rose seedlings of this variety. For this, it is better to give preference to large shops or specialized garden centers. There will definitely not be a mistake with the variety and the likelihood of acquiring healthy seedlings is greater.
Potted seedlings
Important! Be sure to pay to the root system. It must be well developed.
Time
You can plant a rose of the Goldelza variety in open ground both in spring and in autumn. For spring planting, the period from late April to mid-May is suitable. The time for autumn planting should be chosen in such a way that the seedling has time to grow stronger before the first frost.
A place
For planting, it is better to choose a place in light partial shade. In the open sun, flowers fade faster and lose their color. Burns on the leaves may also appear.
Roses do not like drafts, which should also be taken into account when placing them on the site.
Soil preparation and plants
Before planting, soil preparation should be done. Ordinary garden soil must be mixed with sand, humus and peat. The structure of the soil should be light and breathable. Another important factor is the presence of a sufficient amount of nutrients in it.
The seedling also requires preparation. After removing from the container, the root system should be flattened. Roots whose length is too much larger than the rest must be cut off with sharp scissors or a pruner.
Attention! After these manipulations, the root system should be treated with a special growth stimulator. This will improve the survival rate of the plant and it will grow faster.
Landing
Goldeze rose seedlings should be planted by sequentially performing the following steps:
Landing
- Dig a hole the size of which should be larger than the size of the root system.
- At the bottom, pour drainage (gravel or small gravel) and humus. Top make a small layer of earth.
- Place a seedling pit and gently spread the roots on the surface of the earth.
- Watering directly in the hole, in order to avoid the appearance of a crust on the surface of the soil.
- Fill the hole with prepared soil and tamp a little.
- Mulch the surface of the soil with any available material (peat, dry grass).
Important! In the first days after planting, young plants are in dire need of moisture. Mulching the soil is a must. This will allow you to retain moisture longer and preserve soil looseness.
Observing all the rules of planting, you can fully count on the abundant flowering and health of roses in the future.
Care
Rose Goldelza is very undemanding in care. It is enough to fulfill several requirements, and it will delight with its magnificent flowering for many years.
Watering
This species is quite demanding on watering. One bush requires 1 bucket of water 3-4 times a month. With severe drought, watering can be done more often. By autumn, less moisture is required and the frequency of watering should be reduced.
Important! Water should not be cold, but at room temperature.
Top dressing
In order for the flowering to be lush and long, you should regularly feed the Rose Galleds.
In the spring, organic top dressing is great for this. Not all flowers love them, but this type is responsive to this type of fertilizer.
Attention! When applying organic fertilizers, the dosage should be strictly observed to avoid burns to the root system.
Autumn top dressing is best done with mineral fertilizers, both root and leaf. It is best to purchase a special complex fertilizer specifically for roses.
Foliar top dressing should be carried out not at the latest time of day. The solution may remain on the sheet longer than required, this will increase the likelihood of a fungus.
Pruning and transplanting
To maintain a healthy rose, regular pruning is required. Rosa Gold Elsa prefers pruning in spring. Autumn pruning will weaken the plant and it may suffer from winter frosts.
All dried and weak shoots are pruned. They need to be removed with a sharp tool so as not to harm the plant.
You should also regularly remove inflorescences that have already faded. This will provoke the appearance of new buds and extend the flowering period.
If circumstances require the plant to be transplanted to a new place, it should be carried out in the same way as the planting of young plants.
Wintering
Despite the fact that the Rose Goldez is very frost-resistant, it still requires shelter for the winter. The root zone of the plant should be sprinkled with earth so that a mound is obtained. From above, you can optionally sprinkle fallen leaves or straw. The bush itself also needs to be covered, for this a white non-woven material is perfect.
Flowering and care during this period
A rose, like every plant, has periods of activity and dormancy. For this species, the time of active growth and flowering falls on the summer period, and in late autumn the plant goes into a dormant state.
During the period of active flowering, the rose requires maximum care. Goldelze bushes should be regularly removed wilted inflorescences. This must be done carefully, without touching the young shoots.
Also during this period, fertilizing is especially important. Potash and phosphorus, as well as organic top dressing are perfect.
Attention! During the period of active flowering, nitrogen fertilizers can not be applied.
We should not forget about the timely watering and loosening of the soil, as well as the removal of weeds. If the area around the plant is mulled, watering will be sufficient.
What to do if the rose does not bloom
If the flowers on the bush did not succeed in waiting, there may be several reasons:
- lack of light;
- lack of nutrients;
- incorrect trimming or neglecting it;
- insufficient watering;
- excess fertilizer;
- pests and diseases.
After analyzing all these factors for a particular plant, you can accurately determine the reason for the lack of buds. In any case, a similar problem may be caused by a violation of agricultural cultivation techniques.
Breeding
Propagate all kinds of roses, including Goldez, should be cuttings. This is the only way to get a new healthy plant of the desired variety.
Cuttings
The best period for harvesting cuttings is from the second half of June to the beginning of July. For reproduction, you should choose only healthy shoots, preferably those that have only faded. The main thing is that the shoot is not too lignified, from this instance, good planting material can not be obtained.
To get the cuttings, the shoot should be divided into three parts so that there are three buds on the upper and middle. To make an incision with a sharp garden tool. On the finished cuttings, leave only the upper leaves, and remove the lower ones.
Prepared cuttings treated with a special growth stimulator. This will accelerate the formation of roots and increase the survival rate of the plant. The exposure time of planting material in the solution depends on the chosen drug. As a rule, it is indicated in the instructions.
The best method of rooting cuttings of roses is considered to be planting in the ground. It is produced in prepared soil in advance (the land for planting should be mixed with sand), the cuttings should be planted at an angle of 45 degrees and well watered. Top each seedling with a glass jar or a cut plastic bottle. After a month, the cuttings should take root and begin to grow.
Interesting! You can provoke the growth of roots on cuttings by putting them in water. But this method is very doubtful, since the roots will be weak and the stem will take root in the soil for a long time.
There are also methods for rooting cuttings of roses in potatoes and in a bag. Each of them has its advantages. Which one to use is up to the gardener to decide.
Diseases and pests - control methods
Rosa Goldelze is resistant to diseases and pests. But still, the plant can be affected by diseases such as:
- powdery mildew;
- various types of spotting;
- gray rot.
There is also a whole list of pests that can harm roses. The most common of these is aphids.
In order to avoid infection of the plant with diseases or insect attacks, preventive treatment with chemicals should be carried out regularly. If the rose is already sick, measures should be taken immediately. Modern manufacturers offer a number of drugs designed specifically for roses.
There are also folk remedies for combating diseases and pests, but their effectiveness is much lower.
Among the variety of the rose family, the variety of Goldles is very remarkable. This species is characterized by abundant continuous flowering and compactness of the bush. Unpretentiousness and frost resistance make the process of growing this flower effortless. Following all the recommendations, in the end you can get a healthy specimen that will delight you with abundant flowering all summer.
