Roses in the Moscow region: when and how to plant?

You should not rush to the nursery or order the variety you like. First of all, you need to decide on the time of year when it is best to plant these plants. The best option for planting roses in the Moscow region is spring. However, with the onset of April, one should not rush to this either.

Important! The soil should warm up to +10 degrees.

Most often, this temperature is recorded in late April or early May. At this time, the threat of recurrent night frosts also passes, which is poorly tolerated by young plants. But in the fall, it is better not to plant roses in the Moscow region. Although the fall planting is very good, for example, for the southern regions. But lately, the climate in Moscow is getting warmer and during the warm seasons it is possible to plant roses in the fall. This work should be carried out from the second decade of September to mid-October. You should not be late with planting, otherwise the seedlings simply will not have time to take root. By the way, early planting is also fraught, dormant buds can wake up and die with the onset of winter. And the bush will spend on them all the strength accumulated over the summer.

Seat selection and landing

First of all, before planting shrub plants, you should choose a place in the country. It must be protected from strong winds and drafts.

Note! Roses do not tolerate lowlands, especially where groundwater is available near the soil surface.

It is best to plant roses in partial shade or in an area with lacy shade. Plants do not grow well under the scorching sun, so it is advisable that the plantings are not in the sun all day.

The planting hole must be made deep - 45 centimeters. The width of the landing hole is 50 centimeters. If the soil on the site is poor, then it should be fertilized. To do this, a bucket of humus or good compost is introduced into the hole. It will also not be superfluous to add fertilizer to the hole.At the bottom of the pit, 40-50 grams of nitrogen fertilizers (urea or ammonium nitrate) and the same amount of phosphorus-potassium microelements are placed. These fertilizers will provide the seedling with nutrition for the first two to three years of its growth and development.

The seedling is carefully placed in the hole. During planting, you need to ensure that the grafting site is buried 5-7 centimeters below the soil level.

Additional Information! Deepening the grafting will preserve the seedling in cold winters.

After planting, the soil is compacted and watered abundantly. At least one ten-liter bucket of water is poured onto one young plant. However, the water should not be ice cold. After watering, the rose bush is mulched. Humus, compost, sawdust, or just fertile soil are used as mulch.

How to care for roses outdoors in the Moscow region?

After each watering, it is recommended to mulch the bushes, this procedure will retain moisture in the soil as long as possible.

Roses need feeding. For the first two or three years, they can not be fed, since during planting nutrients have already been introduced into the hole, which will be enough for the roses for this period. In the fourth year, it is already necessary to feed the rose bushes. This should be done at least twice during the growing season. The first time feeding is given with nitrogen fertilizers (the nitrogen content should be at least 70%). Nitrogen fertilization is done in late April-early May, even before the buds bloom. Roses are fed for the second time in early August. At this time, the roses begin to prepare for winter, so they are fed with phosphorus-potassium fertilizers. They are responsible for good overwintering of plants.

Watering in the rose garden will continue until late autumn. Moreover, in late September-early October, the bushes are given water-charging irrigation, the rate of which is twice or a second more than usual.
