Roses
(IV)
Shaping
pruning can be carried out on the rose bushes the first few years.
We can
also trim them and clean them up.
This means
we eliminate all of the broken or ill branches and leaves.
This will
help the rose bush to create healthy and new buds.
It will
also increase flowering.
You should
bear in mind, that the more you prune your rose bush, the more it
will flower.
We should
try and prune every 3 months. This will help the plant to flower throughout
the whole year.
Fertilization
You should
use fertilizers with a complete formula. Nowadays there are a lot
of different fertilizers made exclusively for use on roses. We recommend
you use these fertilizers three times a year.
It is a
good idea to try and spray the rose bush with fertilizer every 15
days to ensure flowering throughout the year.
Plagues
and Illnesses
Soil plagues
- normally beetle larvae, worm larvae, etc.
To control
these plagues that are in the soil, we can apply an insecticide. Insecticides
are available at any garden centre.
