Rose is a
woody perennial flowering plant of the genus Rosa, in the family Rosaceae.
Most species
are native to Asia, with smaller numbers native to Europe, North America and
North-western Africa. it is a group of plants that can be shrubs, climbing or
trailing, with stems that are often armed with sharp prickles.
Flowers vary
in size and shape and showy in colours ranging from white, yellow, red, pink,
orange and some variegated in colours. Now rose plants are cultivated in most
of the garden for their beauty and often are fragrant.
1. To bloom more in rose plants you
should take attention on preparation of potting mix.
2. Use good quality loamy soil, coco
peat or peat moss, sand, organic composes and dry decompose cow dung.
3. Keep in mind that Roses grows well in an airy and light soil.
4.
Best prepare a mix like 60% loamy
soil+ 25% coco peat OR peat moss +5%sand+10%cow dung.
SELECTION OF PLANTS
5. You can buy Rose seedlings from any nursery
or online shop.
6. I suggest try to bought seedling of Miniature or shrubs rose. Avoid climber rose.
7. For container gardening miniature rose is best. Easy to maintain and
bloom winter to spring.
8. Best bloom in temperature between
18-26 degree centigrade.
9. Miniature rose is best for beginners
who are wants to cultivated first time.
POTTING OF PLANTS
10. I suggest clay pot for container gardening. You may use plastic garden
container or gardening bags.
11. Pot should have well drainage system with
at least 2-3 holes.
12. Before plotting a plant it is
necessary to keep attention to the drainage system of pot.
13. To ensure the function of drainage
system use garbles 2 inch at bottom of
the pot.
14. Now pour the potting mix and
transplant seedling into the pot.
15. Give water thoroughly and check drainage
system. Excess water will be draining out easily.
16. Any water logging in pot may damage
your plant.
17. Now place your pot in a sunny place where it
can receive 6-8 hour direct sunlight
daily to bloom more and perform well.
18. In shaded areas roses tend to bloom
less than roses in sunny sites.
19. They also may be more susceptible to
disease and pest problems when they are in shade.
20. Sunlight is especially important
because it dries leaves quickly, reducing the risk of fungal diseases.
21. During extreme summer place it under
shade where it can receive only morning sunlight.
22. Rose is heavy feeder crop and it
requires regular feeding of NPK.
23. Use NPK 9:8:8 ¼ teaspoon every week is recommended for flower yield and
quality.
24. Make a preparation like 3gm each of magnesium sulphate and
potassium sulphate along with 1 gm borax in one litre of water and use the
solution as foliar spray every 15 days.
25. This foliar spray gives micronutrient
support to plants and prevent from any deficiency syndrome.
26. You may use minimum 7 days fermented solution of master cake
as an organic fertilizer. It is best to use after pruning. It helps in growing
new shoots on which new blooming occurs.
27. Use eggshells which are rich in calcium. This strengthens the tissue of
a rose allowing for healthier blooms. Finely Crush the egg shells and add it to
your potted roses.
28. Pruning is a vital element of Rose
plant care and the longevity of the plant in your garden.
29. In India, pruning of rose plants is
done twice a year in late June and early
December.
30. Apart from removing weak and dead
wood, prune up to about half of the growth of each branch of old plants.
31. All cuts should be made with a rust
free sharpened pruner.
32. Always cut stems at a 45 degree angle just above an outward
facing bud. This will encourage the plant to grow outward, rather than in
on itself.
33. Remove branches that are crossing or
rubbing up against each other.
