If the soil is heavy enough, clay, then the depth of the pit can reach 65-70 cm. It is important to ensure that the planting hole is deeper than the full length of the roots - if during planting the root system of the plant is bent, then the rose will continue to hurt and take root for a long time.

Fertilizer and mulching

For normal growth and development, roses require a certain set of useful elements that make up the fertilizer:

• phosphorus - the amount of flowers and plant health depend on it;
• potassium - without this element phosphorus-containing fertilizers will be useless;
• nitrogen - responsible for the growth of peduncles;
• magnesium - is especially necessary when laying buds.

Experienced growers recommend that you first make mineral fertilizing, and then organic. To optimally provide roses with all the necessary substances, it is necessary to feed the plants twice a year - in the spring, during the initial processing, and in the summer, after the first flowering period ends.

Rose bushes also need mulching - garden compost is scattered around the plants. If you think that this way the plant will not look aesthetically pleasing, you can place a decorative bark on top of the soil and compost. Remember that the components used for mulching should in no case cover the base of the bush.
