How to plant roses in the fall?

responds rose collector Andrey Stepashin:

– In central Russia, roses can be safely planted in September. But planting needs to be completed before October., otherwise there is a risk, that the bushes will not have time to take root before frost.

It is better to purchase seedlings in pots (with closed root system).  The most basic trick when landing – keep the land lump intact. To do this, the next day it is thoroughly soaked with water.. The above-ground part of the bush is shortened to a height 30-35 cm.

Autumn planting of bare-root roses involves certain risks.: seedlings may be weakened due to improper storage or transportation. In this case, they simply won’t have enough time., to recover before the start of winter, which is fraught with their death. Before planting, the roots of such roses must be placed in a bucket of water., then remove all damaged parts of the plant.

The landing site should be sunny and warm. It is better to prepare the pit and nutrient soil for filling in advance. The pit size is 50 p 50 p 50 cm (on clay soils the depth is increased to 70 cm). Before planting in the hole, pour a bucket of water with the addition of a rooting catalyst in the dosage, specified in the annotation.
