Planting and caring for the Casino rose
You can plant a perennial in the spring (late April or early May) or in the first decade of October. For the southern regions of Our Country, both options are appropriate. In the middle lane, the Volga region and the Kaliningrad region, spring planting is better. If it is produced in the fall, there is a high risk that the perennial will not survive the winter.
For successful cultivation of a variety, it is important to choose the right place:
- good lighting, but with little shading;
- elevation;
- remoteness of groundwater;
- the soil is light and fertile, well moistened;
- the soil is slightly acidic – the optimal pH level is 5,5-6,5.
It is recommended to prepare a site for planting a climbing rose Casino for six months. They do it like this:
- Clear the selected area of debris, stones, weeds.
- Dig up the ground.
- Apply 1-2 kg of humus, manure or peat per 5 m².
Fresh manure can only be used if the preparation of the site is carried out according to the rules for six months. It cannot be applied immediately before planting, since it significantly warms up the soil, and this negatively affects the plant.
If the soil in the garden is clayey, then sand must be added. 1-0,2 kg of material is added per 0,3 m², closing up when digging.
Landing is carried out as follows:
- Dig a square hole with a side of 0,6 m.
- Lay a drainage layer 10 cm thick at the bottom. Pebbles, crushed stone, broken brick, gravel will do.
- Mix the upper fertile layer of the earth with the same amount of humus.
- Pour the resulting soil mixture into a 10 cm high slide.
- Install vertical support.
- Place the rose seedling on the prepared mound, gently straighten the roots.
- Tilt the plant, forming an angle of 30 ° with the support.
- Fill the hole with fertile soil, lightly tamp.
- Water the seedling – 10-20 liters of warm water is enough for the plant. She must be reserved.
- Mulch the plant with peat, straw or sawdust.
When planting, the root neck is deepened by 2-3 cm.
Rosa Casino needs comprehensive care. It necessarily includes moderate watering. Two buckets of water are spent on a young bush, 1,5 times more on an adult. Watering is carried out every week. If it rains, then additional moisture is not required.
After watering, wait 1-2 days and loosen the soil. Weed it as needed.
Perennials are fed at least three times per season:
- end of April – urea, potassium salt, superphosphate;
- after the first wave of flowering (second half of July) – superphosphate, potassium salt;
- September – potassium salt.
The first year after planting, the Casino rose is tied to a support for growth in the right direction. In June-July, all buds are also removed to prevent early flowering.
Rose Casino needs to be cut three times:
- spring, until the buds swell – removal of frostbitten branches;
- summer – removal of wilted buds to stimulate the next wave of flowering;
- autumn – removal of the remaining peduncles.
Due to insufficient frost resistance, the Casino rose is covered for the winter. For young bushes, it is appropriate to bend down the bushes and cover with a film and lutrasil on a metal frame. Adult plants are simply left on a support, insulated with spruce branches and agrofibre.
