Step-by-step care instructions

Choosing a landing place

Since the bush grows quite voluminous, when choosing a place, you need to pay attention to what will surround the rose. Other shrubs should not grow in a radius of 1-1.5 m, and tall trees are not desirable in a radius of 2.5 meters. Massive plants can take all the nutrients from the soil and not enough for the rose. The plot is selected sunny, protected from wind and drafts. The lowland in which moisture collects can ruin the plant.

Time

Successful will be landing in the fall or spring. In autumn, the rose should have time to take root within 1.5 months before the onset of the first frost. In spring, the plant is planted in holes prepared from autumn.
