The technique of growing Heidi Klum varieties in the country
The duration and abundance of flowering varietal roses depends on compliance with a number of agrotechnical rules. Let us consider in more detail the features of planting and growing the Heidi Klum variety.
Location
The rose bush loves sunlight, but grows well in light partial shade. But the wind, draft, cold air stagnation and excess moisture in the soil lead to a sharp loss of the decorative qualities of the bush.
Rose Heidi Klum grows well in a loose and fertile environment with an acidity of not more than 6.0-6.5 pH. The best option is organic-enriched chernozem or loam.
Landing nuances
When preparing a landing pit, the approximate dimensions of which are 50x50 cm, one must not forget about drainage. To remove excess moisture, the bottom of the hole is laid out with broken red brick, crushed stone, large gravel or expanded clay.
To increase the fertility of the soil, add rotted manure or compost. The height of such a layer does not exceed 10-15 cm. The root system of the seedling is soaked for several minutes in a solution of "Kornevin", "Epin" or "Heteroauxin". Then the plant is planted in the center of the hole, gently spreading the young root shoots. Sprinkle a rose bush seedling with soil, tamp it slightly and moisturize abundantly.
Care features
Water the flower as the soil dries. Rose reacts negatively to both excess and lack of moisture in the soil. For irrigation, rain or settled water is used. Water before sunrise or after sunset.
Rose requires an abundance of nutrients in the soil. To feed the garden culture, you can follow the scheme described below:
The rose bush is pruned in spring and autumn. In the autumn, sanitary pruning is carried out, which involves the removal of dry and broken branches. In the spring, rejuvenating pruning is performed: old shoots are cut at the root, young ones - up to 3-4 healthy buds.
During the first growing season, faded and dried buds must be removed - they interfere with the formation of new flowers.
Since the winter hardiness of the variety is average (up to -20 ° C), the rose bush needs to be insulated for the winter. The root area should be sprinkled with peat, hay and straw, and the shoots should be covered with pine spruce branches or agrofibre.
