Roses are not the princesses they are commonly believed to be.
They do not require daily attention, but they die because of one wrong step that 90% of gardeners make.
We are talking about watering. Most people pour water directly under the bush, thinking that this way the roots will get moisture faster.
But this is a gross mistake. Roses have a superficial root system that extends in width, not in depth.
By watering only the base of the bush, you leave some of the roots dry, and the plant begins to "starve". The secret is to moisten the soil within a radius of 50 cm from the stem.
But that's not all. The water should be warm - cold water provokes fungus.
Fill the barrel in the morning so that it warms up by evening.
And now the main thing: roses adore… milk whey. Dilute it with water in a ratio of 1:3 and water the bushes once every two weeks.
Lactic acid bacteria will suppress pathogenic microflora, and calcium will strengthen the stems.
Another life hack is watering after sunset. During the day, drops on the leaves act like lenses, causing burns.
In the evening, the moisture has time to be absorbed before sunrise. And do not forget to loosen the soil an hour after watering: the crust on the soil surface blocks the access of oxygen.
Try these methods - and your roses will bloom in a very short time so that your neighbors will gasp with envy. Whether to share with them the secrets of growing the queen of flowers or not is up to you.
