• groundwater should be located at some distance from the surface, since the abundance of moisture in the soil will cause the roots of the plant to rot.

Preparing for landing

Rose seedlings are recommended to be purchased in specialized places. Before the seedling is planted, it must be placed in water exactly for a day. Following this, the shoot is cut off so that the length of the material is 30 centimeters. Before planting, the roots of the seedling are protected from decay by sprinkling with ash.

It is also necessary to prepare plant holes, this must be done a week before the Chippendale seedlings are placed in the ground. The size of each of these holes should be 40 centimeters. It is necessary to dig the earth out of them and mix with humus.

Next, the seedling is placed vertically in the hole, its roots must be straightened.

After the Chippendale roses are already planted, it is necessary to mulch the soil and water the plants.

Water, weeding and loosening

Water of plants of this variety should be differentiated. If the bush was planted recently, then it needs an abundance of moisture. If the plant has been growing in this place for a long time, then watering is done once a week. One bush needs ten liters of heated, but not hot water.

The best time of day to perform this procedure is in the evening, because during this period evaporation is less intense. If we talk about the seasons, then the Chippendale requires the least amount of liquid in the fall.At the same time, just before the arrival of cold weather, it is necessary to make abundant watering in order to stock up the bushes with moisture.

Equally, bushes need to be loosened regularly, and weeds growing next to them need to be weeded.

Feeding scheme

In the first year, it is recommended to feed with one of two formulations. Either mullein is brought in, which is diluted in a ratio of one part to six parts of water, or bird droppings, for example, chicken droppings, in which case one part of it is already dissolved in 15 parts of water.

After the first year, top dressing is carried out taking into account the condition of the soil. It is recommended to apply nitrogen in spring, and phosphorus and potassium in autumn.

Cutting

Pruning a rose is carried out in autumn, in October-November in order to prepare for wintering or in spring, before its buds swell. This operation is performed when the sky is clear and there is no precipitation.

You need to take a pruner and disinfect it in potassium permanganate. Next, trim the processes that are five millimeters above the developed kidney. The cut itself should be at an angle of 45^o to the direction of stem growth. During pruning, it is required to eliminate branches that are damaged or grow poorly, they create a shadow and prevent the growth of others.

Shoots a year old are shortened by a third, and at two years old - by three or four buds.

Preparing for wintering
