A lush rose bush on the windowsill is the pride of every grower. In order for your indoor rose to bloom and develop harmoniously in time, do not forget to cut it off in time. Pruning stimulates the growth of new branches, which in the future will also have rose buds. Of course, at first a cut rose bush does not look so decorative, but this procedure is vital for your rose, because this is how the plant rejuvenates.

What do you need to properly prune roses?

Secateurs, knife, water, soil mixture. To begin with, you must determine which variety your indoor rose belongs to, because the method and frequency of pruning depends on this. So a tea rose is usually cut into 3 eyes. main meaning pruning roses is as follows: to stimulate the growth of side shoots, if the shoots of the rose are strongly extended and stop bushing. Each florist forms the silhouette of a bush to his taste.

It is best to prune a rose in March-April, when the flower has not yet fully woken up and the buds have not yet blossomed. To the attention of amateur flower growers: timely pruning accelerates the beginning of flowering of a room rose.

For pruning, take only sharp tools, otherwise the cut will turn out to be torn, and this can damage the plant. Make a cut 5 millimeters above the kidney and at an angle of 45 degrees in the direction of the eye.

Start pruning with thinning, so you will see what needs to be corrected and where. First of all, old, damaged or diseased shoots are removed, then, if necessary, we remove the shoots growing inside the bush. Shoots that do not have an apical bud are also removed.

Basic rules for pruning indoor roses:

Propagation of roses by cuttings is a separate topic.

In room culture, varieties are commonly used roses from groups Bengal(or Chinese roses), floribunda and miniature. All these groups of roses tolerate pruning well. You can give the bushes any shape you wish, but this is done in several steps and even for several years. When shaping and pruning indoor roses, you need to pay attention to the following. Pruning times. Formative pruning is best done when the plant's growth buds swell in spring. But you can't focus on that alone. Pruning stimulates the formation of strong young shoots, the growth of which is possible only with sufficient nutrition and good light conditions. When carried out too early, when the daylight hours are short, the new shoots will be weak, thin, and the leaves small and pale. On such stems, abundant flowering should not be expected. Late pruning, when a new growth has appeared, leads to a waste of plant energy, slows down its development. For the growth of young shoots of roses in room culture, a day length of at least 10 hours is required. After each flowering, pruning of faded inflorescences and weak, small shoots growing inside the bush is carried out.

Pruning rules. For all groups and varieties of roses, including indoor ones, there are general pruning rules: Pruning is performed only with sharp secateurs or a knife, since a torn cut formed from blunt tools can lead to the death of the entire shoot. The shoots are cut above the bud, which is located on the outside (does not look inside the bush). Cut off the shoot as close to the kidney as possible. The cut should have a slight slope. The upper part of the cut should be above the kidney and 0.5 cm above it. The lower part of the cut should be at the same level with the kidney or slightly above it, on the opposite side from the kidney. Shoots are always cut to healthy tissue. Completely cut out all dead and diseased stems. Cut completely all weak, thin and twisted branches. Completely remove the shoots of the “plug”, which lack the upper central bud. If two stems intersect, then one of them is removed. When, after cutting the stem, 2 or 3 shoots grow from one bud, you need to remove the extra ones as soon as possible.

Bush formation. Before planting, the largest stems are selected from a young plant and shortened to 10–15 cm, leaving 3–5 buds each (Fig. 1). All weak and thin branches are cut off completely. The roots are shortened by one quarter. Then, during the year after each flowering, dried flowers and small shoots are removed (Fig. 2). In the spring, in the second and subsequent years, they continue to form a bush, so that it branches well and is lush (Fig. 3). The shoots of the last year are shortened, leaving 3-4 buds. Starting from the third year, pruning of shoots is carried out not only in spring, but throughout the entire flowering period. When the flower begins to fade on the shoot (or the petals fall off - it all depends on the variety), it is shortened over the aunt or the fourth bud, applying the pruning rules. Old bushes can be lightly pruned in autumn and in winter when flowering ends or has stopped. It is not recommended to carry out strong and short pruning of indoor roses in one step. Very powerful young shoots can form, which will break the symmetry of the bush. Rose bushes of the Miniature group are shaped into a ball, ellipse, cone. Roses of the Bengal and Floribunda groups can be given any geometric shape. In addition, their stems can be directed along a trellis, ladder, arcs, placing them in space in one plane or in volume. When growing on a narrow windowsill, it is very convenient to place the shoots on a trellis or arcs in the same plane: fan-shaped, in the form of a circle, ring, etc. When the plants are on stands and there is enough space, you can arrange the shoots along the arcs in the form of a ball, vase, basket - as your fantasy dictates.

Indoor roses are often on sale with flowers of various colors and shapes. But then the purchased beauty fades and the question arises: what to do next?

Rose care after purchase

I bought a bush in early spring, after a month the buds crumbled, the leaves began to curl up and fall off. I made a mistake thinking that flowering plant should not be transplanted. Now, after buying new varieties immediately transplanting roses into a new substrate, shaking off the roots from the old one, but at the same time I try not to disturb them much. I take a flowerpot a little more than the previous one. soil mixture I cook from leafy soil, peat and sand (60/30/10), add a little humus. From ready-made soils, you can use "Terra-Vita" with the addition of vermiculite. Good drainage is required. I put coarse charcoal on it (it will save in case of excessive watering), then I pour soil.

After landing watering plant with a solution of Fitosporin and put in a bright place with shading from the direct rays of the sun. About a week later, for the purpose of prevention, I spray the plant with Fitoverm (from spider mites), trying not to get on flowers and buds. 3 weeks after transplant feed drug Uniflor-buton (1 time in 10 days).

Roses bloom beautifully on the windowsill in spring, but with the advent of summer they begin to "sad". The flowers are not so bright, due to the dryness of the air, pests often attack the plants. I take my beauties out into the garden at the beginning of summer. It's amazing how they transform in the fresh air! At this time, the rose must be watered daily (avoiding stagnant water in the pan!), Remove faded flowers and spray frequently.

Indoor roses in winter

The real problems start when the central heating is turned on. Lack of lighting and dry air lead roses to a deplorable state. I experimented a lot and found two optimal options for myself.


1st way. You can keep roses away from batteries on a rack with artificial lighting at a temperature of 18-25 ° C. In this case, they can bloom in winter. Need in autumn cut shoots(shortening them in half) to give the bush beautiful shape and for abundant flowering in the future. Watering- as the topsoil dries up (but the earth in the pot should not dry out). At temperatures above 20 ° C and good lighting, you can feed with phosphorus-containing preparations once a month.

2nd way which I use in last years, - send the rose to rest. In this case, there will be lush flowering and active growth in the next season. I I cut the shoots half, remove all the leaves, spray the stems with Fitosporin solution. I wait until the flower dries after spraying, then I put it in a foam box (household appliances are usually packed in such boxes). Cover with transparent film on top and - to the glazed balcony. I make sure that the temperature on it does not fall below 7 ° C.

In this position, my roses are until the end of February. In severe frosts (fortunately they are not frequent with us), I bring them into the hallway, where it is always cooler than in the room. watering rarely, only slightly wetting the ground. In early March, I bring it into the apartment, transplant it into fresh soil. Starting in 3-4 weeks feed drug Uniflor-micro 1 time in two weeks. Then, when I have to water more often, and the roses begin to grow actively, I change the top dressing for the Uniflor-buton preparation and add it to the water for irrigation no more than once every 7-10 days.

If you can't keep indoor rose on the balcony, then you should place it in a warm, well-ventilated area. It is necessary to water frequently, but moderately, without flooding or allowing the soil to dry out. In winter, the rose should be watered less often and kept at a temperature of ten degrees. Fertilizers are applied only during the period of rapid growth, at least twice a month.

In order for the rose to bloom as long as possible, it needs to create a certain temperature regime, which is closer to cool than warm.

Transfer



In order for the home rose to bloom violently in the spring, the transplant must be carried out already in August, this will allow the roots to adapt and take root well. Otherwise, the rose will take root during the entire period of rapid growth and will bloom only by autumn. When transplanting a plant, you should try not to destroy the earthen lump, since the rose is very sensitive to damage to the roots and then gets sick for a long time.

An indoor rose should be planted in small flowerpots, since with an excess of space in a flowerpot, the rose will give a lot of greenery and rarely bloom.

pruning

This is an indispensable part of caring for a room rose. If you neglect pruning, the plant will be weak. With thin long branches and small rare flowers. Answering the question “when the main pruning is done”, usually in early spring, before the rapid growth of the plant has yet begun.



Some flower growers who are closely involved in breeding room roses want to achieve from it not only long flowering, but also large buds if possible. Pruning is carried out during the entire flowering period, removing newly grown shoots and leaving three or five buds on the main shoots.

Pruned home beauty for good flowering and decoration of a bush of a beautiful shape.
In order to properly trim you need to know:

  • First, all weak and underdeveloped stems are removed. As well as branches that are intertwined.
  • No more than five strong shoots, of medium length, should be left on the bush.
  • If the shoots are long, then they need to be shortened, leaving six live buds.
  • If the sprouts are long, but not very developed, then five buds are left for further growth and development.
  • When weak shoots appear, it is advisable to remove them, but if this is not possible, then three buds are left on them.

Caring for a beautiful but capricious plant

It is important that sharp tools are suitable for pruning, which will not leave a hitch on the shoot of the plant. The fact is that when trimming with blunt tools, torn edges are obtained at the place of trimming, and this is fraught with the development of various diseases and decay of the cut edge. Pruning should be carried out strictly at an angle of forty-five degrees, just above the living kidney.

In order to prevent new shoots from stretching out, the flower after pruning should be placed in a cool room and only after the first leaves appear, put on a sunny window for further growth. Small shoots that will appear during the period of violent growth are removed immediately so that all the forces of the plant go to the formation of beautiful buds on the main shoots.

After the first flowering of the room beauty, it is necessary to re-pruning so that the plant does not give strength to the growth of greenery, and after a while it can bloom again. All faded buds and small shoots are cut off, leaving three or five buds on the main layers.
