Peculiarities of growing
All orange varieties grow well in aerated, light, fertile, sandy-clay soil so that the root system always has plenty of moisture and air. They do not tolerate wet, heavy clay soil. Will not grow also on waterlogged, acidic and sandy soil.
Orange roses are light-loving, but it is bad when they are in the sun all day. They fade quickly, the color of the petals turns pale, and burns appear on the leaves. Therefore, it is necessary to take a place so that in the midday heat the roses are in partial shade.
On the northern slopes or under the dense canopy of trees, vegetation slows down, growth decreases, flowers become smaller, and a weak plant often gets sick. The best option is a south-facing site protected from the north wind.
Conditions for the care of orange roses:
- Constant loosening of the root circle to a depth of 10-15 cm to increase aeration and destroy weeds. Do not allow compaction on the soil surface.
- Watering with a large volume of water at the beginning of the season and after the first wave of flowering. The rest of the time, maintain optimal soil moisture.
- It is recommended to mulch the bush with humus or compost, it will become additional nutrition and prevent the root from overheating.
- Carry out formative pruning after planting, if necessary in the spring. Sanitary – in the fall before wintering and at the beginning of the season. At this time, frozen areas are removed.
- For the winter in a cold climate, the bush is completely covered; in a warm region, it is enough to increase the layer of mulch.
The main condition for growing is the introduction of top dressing:
- nitrogen (urea, sodium humate) – they are applied in May and at the end of July;
- phosphorus (superphosphate) – June-September;
- potassium sulfate – during budding and late autumn;
- calcium is necessary to normalize the acidity of the soil (dolomite flour, ash, chalk). It is used in autumn and spring;
- during the entire growing season, they are fed with microelements (boron, manganese, iron, magnesium).
Organics can be used in unlimited quantities. Ideally, a liquid product is used with every watering.
