The secret of repeated flowering roses is simple, but for some reason few people use it. Although right now, when the first buds have already begun to crumble, you have a chance to launch a new wave of lush flowering. It will only be required a little attention, the correct pruning and care that does not require excess.
Correct cutting time
After the bulk of the flowers has faded, the rose needs to be cut. Not radical, but thought out. For varieties of floribunda, it is especially important to maintain harmony. Do not cut all the shoots on the same length, it is better to play with a height. The central should be left more authentic, the side is shortened, and the most extremely must be trimmed almost completely. Such a technique will not only update the bush, but will also give it an incentive to let the power into new buds. As a result, you will receive a cascade of flowers from the top of the bush to its base.
Soil processing
Immediately after the haircut, it is worth loosening the ground around the bush and mulch it. This will help maintain moisture in the heat and protect the roots. Make a shallow recess at the base of the bush (about 10 cm) and pour a layer of mulch there there: straw, mature compost or chips. After good watering, add another layer. Such protection will help the roots easier to endure the heat and supply the bush with everything necessary for a new flowering round.
Watering and food
The second wave of flowering requires a lot of effort from the plant, especially if the shoots are young and vigorously grow. At this moment, it is critical of Rosam to receive phosphorus and potassium. Young bushes (under the age of two years) need phosphorus for the development of roots. And it is time for adults (from four years old) to give complex fertilizers, including all the basic elements. Top dressing is best carried out immediately after watering, so that the roots are easily absorbed.
Protection and stimulation
Roses, like people, after the “operation” need support. Spray the bush by the immunostimulator. This will help the plant cope with stress and activate internal resources. Repeat the processing once a couple of weeks until the end of the season. Regular soft care really works miracles. The rose will not only recover, but also give you another fireworks of fragrant buds.
Caring for a rose is not such a difficult process. Only observations and care are important. If everything is done on time, the queen of the garden will surely thank you with the second, no less generous flowering.
