Features of planting and caring for a flower
To enjoy the scent of the Avalange rose, it is important to follow certain rules of agricultural technology.
Optimal growing conditions
Planting is done in mid-spring. Since the variety belongs to the hybrid tea group, it is recommended to plant the rose in sunny areas. However, it is very important that these places are reliably protected from through winds.
A slightly acidic soil is ideal for this variety. Experienced gardeners regulate the acidity of the soil by adding lime, peat or wood ash. The soil must be abundantly moistened before planting. At the bottom of the pit, it is worth pouring a thick layer of drainage, which will resist the stagnation of moisture in the ground.
Planting tips
The optimal depth of the fossa is considered to be 50-60 cm. It is definitely worth adding fertilizing in the form of organic fertilizer to the hole. Particular attention must be paid to the preparation of planting material.
6-7 hours before planting, the seedlings should be soaked in plain water. This will saturate the planting material with moisture and allow you to quickly adapt to new conditions.
Also, seedlings are often placed in a growth stimulant solution, which accelerates the rooting and vegetation processes.
Seasonal care and wintering
Watering is the foundation of plant care. The most important thing in this process is the water temperature - it should be at room temperature. This is especially important in hot weather when it is necessary to minimize the difference between the temperature of the water and the environment. In summer, watering is carried out twice a week. With the arrival of autumn, the frequency of watering is reduced, gradually reducing to zero. One bush accounts for about 20 liters of water.
Weeding is another important condition for the successful cultivation of a rose. Getting rid of weeds from the soil allows shrubs to be provided with proper nutrition. After all, weeds, especially if they grow in large numbers, literally suck out all the useful elements from the soil.
Preparation for winter consists in covering the root area of the bush with peat or warming this area with non-woven material. With the arrival of spring, the plant is immediately opened. Timely disposal of the bush from insulation allows you to prevent rotting of the root system.
Spring is considered the best time for pruning. The pruning procedure is carried out after the buds bloom on the bush. This pruning allows you to give the bush the desired shape and rid it of dry and damaged branches.
Diseases and pests of the variety
The most common and dangerous diseases of Avalange are:
- spotting;
- rust;
- gray rot;
- powdery mildew.
In addition, the danger comes from small pests:

To protect your shrub, it is important not to neglect preventive measures. It is recommended to regularly treat the plant with special insecticidal preparations that scare off pests and prevent infection with a serious disease.
