The only correct preparation of a hole for roses: rooting in 4 weeks

The best time to plant most plants is autumn. Weather conditions and growing season are ideal for most plants. Among them are roses. Late planting helps plants to adapt more quickly to the conditions of the open ground, take root and prepare for winter and low temperatures.

How to prepare a hole for a rose

The main rule to follow is the absence of nitrogen in regular amount. On average, a rose takes at least 4 weeks to take root after planting. And nitrogen at this stage would greatly prevent the plant from doing this. It is contraindicated for autumn.

You need to put granulated horse manure at the bottom of the hole. 1 cup will be enough for one plant. Next, a layer of soil of 5 cm. Pour everything with water and place the seedling with spread roots. The grafting site can be deepened by 3 cm.

It is too early to cover completely with soil. It is necessary to add double superphosphate in the amount of 3 tbsp. If you have a complex autumn fertilizer, you can also add 2-3 tablespoons of it. Another layer of earth and watering with at least 2-3 liters of water. After that, the last layer of soil, watering again and you can mulch.

Is it possible to do without mulching? Gardeners recommend doing it so that the plant does not lose moisture. In a month, when the temperature will drop below zero and will stably stay at such marks, it will be necessary to cover the rose. But it is not before November. Therefore, mulching during planting will already be part of the preparation for winter.
