Step-by-step care instructions

Seat selection

The variety develops well in bright areas. This applies to most tea hybrid varieties. When choosing a landing site you need to consider drafts and strong gusts of wind. They should not be.

Timing

In the middle lane and to the north, landing is carried out in the spring (April-May). In autumn, planting is done taking into account the fact that the plant must have time to take root by winter.

The soil

Soil acidity in the range of 5.3 to 7.3 ph is suitable. Ideal rates from 5.6 to 6.5 ph. For acidification, you can use manure or peat, and for alkalization, lime or ash. The soil should be sufficiently moist and have good drainage.. Clay soil can be improved with peat and sand; sandy soil can be improved with humus, turf and clay. If the groundwater level lies above 1 meter, then the plant may be sick with black spotting.

For planting under a rose bush, a hole of 50-60 cm is dug out and filled with the following layers (bottom): 10 cm of drainage (pebbles, gravel), organic fertilizers (10 cm), garden soil 10 cm.

Landing

Before planting in the ground, seedlings should stand in the water for 4-5 hours. Such moisture saturation will provide adaptability and endurance to plants in a new place. You can treat the seedlings with a root growth stimulator (placed in a solution for a day).

Mandatory transplantation of all shoots and removal of dead sections of the bush. It is convenient to plant a rose with an open root system in this way: the place of grafting the rose by 3 cm hides underground, the roots straighten and sprinkle with soil, the soil around the plant is slightly compacted.

Temperature

The variety is characterized by good heat resistance. One of the main advantages of Avalange is considered to be a successful wintering. The plant is not afraid of frost and temperature extremes. The variety has excellent frost resistance up to -7 ° C without covering. The minimum temperature is -23 ° C.

Watering

The basis of plant care is mandatory watering. This is especially important during hot and dry periods. Water should not be cold. Consumption is 15-20 liters per bush. In dry, warm weather, this must be done twice a week. Closer to the fall, watering is gradually stopped. It ends completely in September.

Top dressing

In spring, the plant is fed with nitrogen fertilizers. In the summer, potassium and phosphorus are added. The introduction of organic vermicompost or humus is relevant throughout the growing season.

Weeding

Roses need a systematic loosening of soil and weeding from weeds.

Pruning

To one degree or another, pruning is carried out throughout the growing season. The best time to prune shoots is spring. It is done after swelling of the kidneys. Spring pruning is done to improve flowering and bush formation.

After planting the seedlings and to rejuvenate the old plant, strong pruning is done (2-4 buds are left). To achieve early flowering and good decorative properties, medium pruning is used in spring. Leaving 5-7 kidneys.

1. Preventive pruning in autumn it allows you to remove diseased shoots, defuse bushes and is of a sanitary nature.
2. Formative. In summer, faded buds are cut together with the upper part of the shoot in order to regulate flowering (weak pruning). Strong pruning can be used to form and rejuvenate the old bush.

Transfer

An ideal time for transplanting an adult plant is early spring or autumn. In summer, the bush is transplanted in cloudy weather and is trimmed. The plant is removed from its original location with an earthen lump. All buds are removed from a blooming rose before transplanting.

Preparation for winter

In winter, roses are necessarily insulated in one of the ways: you can pour 20-30 cm of soil onto the root system, cover it with a dense non-woven covering material, and cover it with a layer of peat. In spring, the flowers must be opened so that they are not overtwined. Shelter will be required after a steady cooling below -7 degrees.

Before you cover, roses prune and spud soil. Spruce branches can be placed between the bushes and on top of the plants themselves. After that, the frame is set to a height of 20-30 cm and covered with a covering material. Polyethylene spreads on top, and air remains on the sides. In the spring, you can open the structure from the sides for ventilation.

Breeding

Propagation by cuttings will save all the properties of the variety. This method is otherwise called vegetative. Cuttings for propagation are selected from healthy young bushes, after the first wave of flowering has passed. In central Russia, this is usually the period from mid-June to mid-July.

1. At the cut shoot, the upper soft part is removed, a solid base is left. There should be two sheets on the handle. The bottom cut is 45 ° under the bottom sheet, the top at a distance of 5 cm from the top sheet.
2. The dried cuttings are planted in the soil to a depth of 2-3 cm in a cool place in the shade.
3. Water and cover with a jar or a bottle.
4. Periodically, the plant is sprayed.

If the stalk has taken root, then for the winter it should remain in the same place under shelter. It will be possible to transplant in the spring.

Propagation by lignified cuttings is possible.. In the fall, shoots are cut off and then stored all winter in a humid environment in the cold. Then cut into cuttings and root in the usual way. Planting young growths in the sand will reduce the risk of diseases that are in the soil.

Another popular way to propagate roses is to propagate by layering. The selected shoot is bent to the ground, fixed and dug up with the ground. By autumn, rooting should take place, then this plant is left in the same place for the winter and planted only when spring comes.
