Florists told the main reason why autumn rose seedlings die

0

Autumn is a good time to plant roses. This is done 4 weeks before the cold weather, so that the plant has time to adapt to weather conditions, a drop in temperature, and open ground. For a young rose, these are all stressful conditions, so it needs protection.

Beginners' mistake

Mostly, novice gardeners really have such deficiencies in care. Namely, lack of protection against the cold. The seedling can freeze and die.

To prevent this from happening, you need to cover the rose with a layer of earth or sand. The height of the layer should not be less than 30 cm. It is also recommended to make mulching, for example, with compost. One of the best options for roses. Compost can contain leaves, mowed grass, remains of vegetables and fruits. The main thing is that there are no weed seeds in the mulch.

Failure to protect roses from the cold is another mistake that gardeners make in the fall. When planting in autumn, it is necessary to cover the rose with a 20-30 cm layer of earth or sand, and with the onset of frost, cover the shoots with spruce branches or agricultural fabric. This will prevent the seedling from freezing.
