PHC is a strategy of keeping roses stress free by different factors allowing the growth and maintenece of the plant.The results of PHC is that rose bushes in a healthy condition are less likely to get infested by insects and diseases than other plants under stress. In the first 20 or so days after planting your roses they need to be watered daily to help the rose grow. Fertilizers must be used to give your plant a head start.Most fertilizers can be purchased from many different flower nurseries.Plant your roses about one inch below crown level and then tamp the soil in and around it,do not damage the root ball and alway's keep the crown uncovered. With a little bit of effort and care you will have excellent looking rose bushes with large blooms that will last for most of the summer.When you have established roses it is nice to prune or cut a few and put them in a vase.Beware not to prune or cut too many stems of your new rose bushes as they need time to grow successfully. Different types of roses need to be planted a few feet away from each other allowing them to grow correctly.When planting bare root roses first check that the soil has a good ph, you may need to add a little lime.Early spring is the best time to transplant roses or plant new one's.Cut the roses into shape, remove dead leaves as this will help the air to circulate around the plant more easily. Remove a few of the old stems at the base of established climbers to stimulate new growth. If fungal disease is prevalent in your area, spray while dormant with Bordeaux mix, lime sulfur, or horticultural oil. Gardeners in the South and West may wish to fertilize monthly from early spring until June, resuming in August and September. Around the middle of April check your rose plants for unwanted visitors,slugs are a big threat to rose plants so put some pellets down that normally clears them quickly.If you have other insects on the plant give it a good spraying with a systemic insecticide this will help the plant to grow much better ,if you find new shoots at the rootstock remove them. Living in a cold climate that has harsh winters can cause roses to die if not properly protected from the cold. When the ground freezes just mould earth around the base of the plant and then add evergreen boughs. Small climbing roses can be detatched from their supports put on the gound then covered with earth this will protect them from very cold winters. About the Author: |
