When to transplant roses to another place: the best time and rules of procedure

Creating a garden, as well as caring for plants, requires a lot of time and patience from the gardener. Transplanting plants from place to place is considered a particularly troublesome task. Worst of all tolerates a transplant rose, which grows in almost every garden. When to transplant roses, and what methods are best suited for this, we will understand below.

Reason for transplant

There can be several reasons for transplanting a rose:

In the old place, the flower was attacked by pests.

Transplanting a flower to another place can be a way out of the situation, and the plants will not have to be watered with various chemicals to destroy uninvited guests.

Decision made to redevelop the garden.

It is quite common when a gardener, acquiring a new crop for planting, is faced with the need to change the structure of the garden.

The soil at the planting site has become depleted, and the rose is no longer receiving the necessary nutrients.

Plants growing in one place for a long time gradually deplete the soil. Fertilization is a temporary solution, and there comes a time when the plant needs to be repotted for further growth.

Plants and trees growing nearby have overgrown, blocking the plant's access to sunlight.

Beginner gardeners often face this problem. Lack of experience does not allow them to correctly plan the landing sites so that flowers and trees do not interfere with each other.

When is the best time to transplant roses?

To transplant flowers with minimal damage, you need to do it at a certain time. The following seasons are suitable for transplanting:

Autumn. The autumn season is the most favorable for garden redevelopment.
Spring. The second most convenient option for transplantation. Rose bloom will be delayed, but there will be no strong backlash.
Summer. The most unpredictable and dangerous option, especially during the beginning of the rose bloom.

Pay attention! An important role, when planning a plant transplant calendar, is played by the climate characteristic of your region. In the southern regions, with warm weather, a rose can be transplanted already in the second half of February, and in the northern regions, where conditions are much tougher, only from the beginning of April

Features of spring transplantation of roses

Spring transplant of adult roses is carried out when:

the snow has melted;
the earth warmed up to a temperature of 8-9 ^o;
buds formed on a rose bush have not yet begun to swell.

Compliance with these conditions creates a favorable background for transplantation, and the plant receives a minimum of damage. Disadvantages of Spring Garden Remodeling:

flower has to spend extra energy to adapt to a new place;
requires additional energy to form and strengthen the root system, which suffers when moving the bush from place to place.

Otherwise, there are no problems, and spring remains a good period for such events.

Can work be carried out in the summer?

Summer is the worst time of the year. To minimize damage to the plant, you must adhere to the following algorithm of actions:

Rose bush undergoing pruning.
Flowers and buds that have had time to form on the bush are completely removed.
The shoots are cut to half their length. If the gardener transplants varieties with a long stem, it is cut so that the length does not exceed 0.5 meters. In miniature varieties, the stem is cut off after 3 buds.
Transplantation is carried out in cloudy weather or in the evening when solar activity is minimal.

During the first month after moving the rose to a new place, the bush must be protected from excessive exposure to sunlight and strong gusts of wind. Experienced gardeners recommend abundant irrigation until the flower takes root in a new place.If the summer turned out to be dry, spray the bush with a spray bottle.

Transplanting roses in autumn

Transplanting roses in September - October to another place is considered the best time among gardeners. However, some nuances should be taken into account:

Early transplanting, at the end of August, will provoke the bush to form excess greenery, which will lead to its weakening before wintering.
Late planting is deadly for roses. The bush will not have time to adapt to a new place, and will not survive the winter.
Transplantation is considered optimal a month before the onset of the first frost. The flower will grow roots to the required volume, and there will not be enough time to form unnecessary green mass.

Preparatory work

The essence of the preparatory work before transplantation is to choose the right place and process it. The new location for roses must meet the following criteria:

Choose sites with fertile soil, as the plant will need a lot of nutrients for normal adaptation.
The landing site should not be flooded with water. Rose bushes growing in conditions of excessive moisture are more likely to be exposed to various fungal diseases.
Good area illumination. Despite the need for protection from sunlight in the first weeks after transplantation, in the future the bush will need a lot of sunlight for comfortable flowering. Do not choose locations near tall trees, fences, or buildings.
Strong gusts of cold wind have a bad effect on flower growth. The gusts of the icy north wind are especially strong. If possible, try to protect rose plantings from strong drafts.

Preparing a site for planting rose bushes:

the soil at the landing site is being dug up;
remove weeds along with roots;
fertilizing. The amount and composition of fertilizers depends on the condition of the soil.

Pay attention! Gardeners are advised to fertilize before planting in advance. The optimal time is two weeks before transplantation. So the roots of the rose will not get burned.

Transplant process

At the initial stages of transplantation, the main task of the gardener is to preserve the root system of the bush and cause minimal damage to it. Most bushes are moved to a new place right with the clod of earth in which they have grown up to this point. The main root is too deep, so there is no need to save it completely. This is especially true for grafted varieties, in which the main root can go deep into the ground up to 1.5 meters.

Transplant process:

Irrigate the ground around the bush two days before moving to a new location.
The shoots are carefully pulled with a strong thread to facilitate access to the base of the bush.
A trench is being dug around the bush.
Next, we go deeper into the ground, chopping off the overgrown roots with a shovel or other tool.
The resulting clod of earth is placed in a plastic bag or thick film.
Move the bush to a new location.

Dig a hole under a bush like this:

in width, it should exceed the diameter of the bush by 20 centimeters;
in depth - 10 centimeters more than the size of an earthen coma.

The bottom of the pit is covered with a layer of rubble, after which fertile soil is poured. Then a rose bush is lowered into the pit, after which the remaining volume is filled with earth. A properly planted plant will adapt to a new location in three weeks.

Further rose care

Roses are not the most capricious plants, but after transplantation they require special care in the next couple of weeks:

Immediately after planting, the soil around the bush is abundantly irrigated. At least eight liters of liquid are poured onto the bush.
After watering, pay attention to the level of the soil. If it has dropped, add soil to the required rate.
The land is mulched after irrigation. In this way, you prevent the formation of a dense crust after drying.
On hot days, the bush needs shelter, as the roses have not yet taken root, and the scorching sun does not affect them in the best way.
Pay attention to the general condition of the plants. In a weakened state, they can easily get sick.
Gardeners who want the plant to take root well in a new location prune young shoots for the first few seasons.

Do not plant nearby bushes that begin to bloom at different times. Otherwise, one variety will begin to dominate the other, preventing it from fully developing.
