Caring for a FRIAR rose like this:
- Planting for roses is the most important step in the care of them. The plant grows only in sunny areas with well-arranged drainage. The land should be loose, in order to pass in sufficient quantity of water and air to the root system, rich in nutrients.
- Watering. FRIAR rose is watered as needed – from 10 liters of water per 1 adult bush 2 – 3 times a week on average. In dry times, watering increases. If the plant grows in a container, then watering is usually more frequent. In both cases, it all depends on weather conditions.
- Fertilizers are fertilized at least 2-3 times during the growing season. It can be both mineral fertilizers and organic. Another English roses varieties FRIAR give mineral complexes, which are introduced by spraying. For roses growing in pots, fertilizing increases, but the doses used are lower.
- Pruning roses depends on the group to which it belongs. They do pruning twice: in the summer, faded parts are constantly pruned to stimulate the emergence of new flowers; Pot roses are also pruned.
- Loosening and weeding the soil around the rose bush is necessary for FRIAR air circulation, moisture and nutrients for the root system. To minimize your work, use mulching. This agrotechnical technique will help reduce the number of weeds and leave the soil moist longer. This applies to container roses.
- Shelter for the winter is needed if the freezing temperatures are very low or in winter there are frequent long-term thaws that are abruptly replaced by minus. Be sure to cover the roses growing in pots.
