Pruning roses
Rose care

The formation of the bush must be done in the first year. After the appearance of the fifth leaf, you need to pinch the shoot. Emilien Guillot is important for high growth, therefore, you do not need to touch the vertical shoots, you must pinch the side shoots, and to give the bush a larger volume, you also need to cut off the internal ones.
The most important thing is that the rose Emilien Guillot shows itself in all fragrance and grace, it is moisturizing and the soil is rich in nutrients.
Flowering roses
The first flowering occurs in late May. The bush begins to be covered with dense flowers. Buds sometimes gather in inflorescences. In the warmest periods, the flower requires a temperature of 24 ° C, during the dormant period (from October to February) it is lowered to 6-7 ° C.
Important! In the spring, with the onset of accelerated growth, an increase in temperature should occur gradually.
Care during and after flowering
During the flowering period of Emilien Guillot roses, it is necessary to irrigate in the morning or evening with warm, settled water. During watering, you need to moisten the mulch at the roots or the soil, and not the plant itself. In addition, it is necessary to create ventilation for the bush, to prevent it from thickening, to carry out sanitary pruning in time, and not to plant large plants nearby, which will block the air flow to the leaves and stem.

Root growth that impedes the development of roses
What can be done if it does not bloom
If the roses do not bloom, then you need to remember the time planted. If more than three years have passed since then, you need to start rejuvenation. It is easy to identify old plants: the stems become wooden, lose their green color, becoming covered with thick bark.
The reason why the rose does not bloom in the area may be a shortage or an excess of fertilizers introduced into the soil. The main sign of an excess of nitrogen fertilizing is the active growth of lush foliage up without the formation of buds. You can correct the situation by applying phosphorus-potassium fertilizer or ash.
Improper care of roses is another reason for the lack of flowers. It is necessary to prune the rose annually. Without this, flowering will gradually decline. But not always summer residents conduct the procedure competently. Most often, roses suffer from severe pruning, which disrupts metabolic processes and weakens the plant. Therefore, it is worthwhile to limit yourself to sanitary pruning, removing diseased and damaged shoots, as well as forming, which will give the bush a decorative look.
Important! Pruning roses should be carried out in several stages: in the spring, summer and autumn. The tool is chosen sharp, it is pre-disinfected.
A rose "strangled" by the root shoot will not bloom. Rose hips, on which cultivars are most often planted, do not bloom. Novice gardeners often consider it shoots of varietal roses. The shoots must be destroyed, as it steals nutrients from the rose and strangles it completely.
Flower propagation
Rose Emilien Guillot begins to bear fruit in mid-July. They contain seeds in the form of an oval, light brown in color. To grow Emilien rose from a seed, you need:
- Remove the fruit a little immature, when the seeds have not yet coarsened the skin. Such seed sorts well. Using a sharp knife, cut the fruit and pull out the seeds, freeing from the pulp.
- You need to take two cotton pads, well soak them with hydrogen peroxide. Put seeds on one, and cover them with the second.
- Seeds are wrapped in a damp cloth and placed in a plastic bag. All this is placed in a cool place (it is better that the temperature is about 5 ° C). You need to constantly check the package and maintain tissue moisture. In this state, the seeds are stored for two months.
- Then you need to mix the soil with peat and put it in pots. Transplant the prepared seeds into them and wait until they germinate. After that, transplant the flower into the open ground.
Also, the rose is propagated by layering. This is the easiest way to breed roses. This method is used if they want minimal damage to the parent bush. The lower branch is bent to the ground and covered with soil, leaving only the top. Where the shoot is sprinkled, roots form. Layers are usually laid in early spring. To ensure success was guaranteed, shoots with a developed ability to root formation, which are placed shallow underground, are used.
Gray rot
Pests and diseases
The main pests are: rose aphids, rose cicadas, thrips. Also, different types of sawflies, horsetails, bronze, weevils harm the rose. To combat these parasites, pesticides are most often used.
Rosa Emilien Guillot will be ill if she grows in an inappropriate place for her. Gray rot, for example, in rainy weather spreads especially briskly. In addition, most gardeners densely plant roses, the soil under the plants dries too slowly after rain. You can overcome gray rot in the initial stages, cutting out the affected areas and creating a dry, warm climate for the rose.
All these efforts, the trials that will need to be passed, will be worth it so that such an amazing rose grows in the garden. She will brighten up any gloomy day with her dazzling beauty.
