Description: Climbing roses is a very popular plant for vertical gardens. Interestingly, botanists do not consider them true climbing plants like vines because they don’t grow on their own support structures to hold onto a surface. Therefore, they need a helping hand and a vertical space to attach to and grow on.
HOW TO GROW?
1. Test the seeds before planting: Put the seeds in water and discard the seeds that float. Seeds that float may be hollow. The plump, heavier seeds that sink in the water have a better chance of survival.
2. Purchase a flat container for planting the seeds: The flat container should be able to fit into your refrigerator. Consult with your gardening centre to choose the best flat for your needs.
3. Mix equal parts sand, soil and peat moss: Consult with your gardening centre, as they may have a pre-made mixture that you can purchase. You will need enough to fill the flat.
4. Fill the flat with the sand, soil and peat moss mixture.
5. Plant each of the rose seeds ¼-inch deep and space the seeds 1 inch apart from each other.
6. Place the flat in the refrigerator; the desired temperature will be about 40 degrees F. Keep it in the refrigerator for about three months to germinate.
7. Remove the flat from the refrigerator and place it in a sunny window, where the room temperature is between 65 to 70 degrees F.
8. Water lightly. Do not over water, and do not allow the soil to get overly dry. Transplant the heartiest of seedlings to the garden the following spring.
Pro-Tips: Use a flat tray container about 10 inches by 15 inches (bigger or smaller is your choice) and 1.5 to 2 inches deep. Make sure you have plenty of holes in it for good water drainage. Put the seedling mix you prepared up to almost top, leaving about 0.5 inches space. Now spread the seeds evenly over it after that cover the seeds with seedling mix only about 0.5 cm. Water it by watering can. Place the container in semi-shaded place for best results.
NOTE :
Rose on soil don’t ask for much, just with some humus soil, the aggregate structure can be good training. The following three links will ensure good growth.
(1) Rose is drought tolerant plants, but it is afraid of the flood. It is necessary to use non-glazed bonsai pots for soil cultivation. The principle is "do not pour water on it when the soil is not dry. Wet it completely when you pour water on soil.”
(2) Don’t lend a high concentration of fertilizer because it will result in the death of local rot.
(3) All plants need sunlight. Rose likes sunshine too. Fertilization should be diligent in summer, every 15 to 20 days to be applied once a watering time after fertilization to prevent burning seedlings. Fall pruning should be done to prevent excessive growth, flowering and plant type of beauty.
Roses are more aphids, pay attention to prevention and treatment.
