Many indoor plant lovers prefer to have a rose among their pets. This is not prevented by the whimsicality of the plant, susceptibility to pests, difficulties in care. In addition to the beautiful flowering of the "queen of flowers", rose bushes create unique style for a botanical corner.
Even a single indoor rose can elegantly decorate the window. Propagation of this plant by cuttings retains all the characteristics of the original species and enjoys an advantage over other methods.
What roses are bred and grown in the room
Indoor indoor roses come in a variety of colors. Miniature varieties usually have very slender bushes, exactly repeating the most beautiful tea and hybrid tea species.
There are a lot of varieties and types of roses. For indoor growing take compact plants, because root system roses require a lot of soil, does not like shyness.
Potted crops can be the following types of domestic or indoor roses.
- Rose Cordana (Rosa Kordana) - small size, lush, odorless.
- Miniature roses.
- Climbing roses - have elongated stems.
- Shrub.
These are just some of the varieties that can be cut and grown at home. Do not force hybrid tea garden roses to grow in the room. They are almost do not lend themselves to grafting in room conditions. How to propagate roses?
Reproduction methods
The following methods of propagation of these flowers are known:
- seeds, which is very time consuming and almost never practiced;
- cutting roses is the most common and popular way;
- layering, if the stems are long, climbing.
Also, a rose is grafted onto a rose hip, obtaining a copy of the desired variety. But this is no longer reproduction. And also grafting is used exclusively in horticulture.
How to propagate roses by cuttings? Many species propagate by cuttings, but not always this simple task... Rose Cordana, for example, difficult to reproduce... And miniature varieties intended for rooms, interiors, cuttings are easier.
Method of growing roots in water
This method is most suitable for miniature and dwarf roses. Green cuttings roses are propagated most often. This is annual shoots that gave buds. For the formation of roots in water, it is recommended to follow these rules.
Features of the method of growing roots
According to one of the opinions, when the roots appear, the rose is placed in the ground. This increases the chances of survival, and the plant itself is not weakened.
Other growers believe: the appearance of roots in miniature roses wait up to three weeks and grow them up to a centimeter. They must branch out. They are planted in a container of 200 ml with holes for draining the water.
Some take into account the phases of the moon and believe that landing should be done on a waxing moon. But in order to take this factor into account, you need the moon to shine through the window, giving the plant additional lighting.
That is, the windows should be south, on north side it does not matter. In addition, waiting for the "correct" moon, you can miss the time for a successful planting, weaken the plant.
Very often, the first bloom of a rooted rose does not have to wait long, the bud appears soon. But it depends on the variety and other conditions.
Rooting cuttings
Breeding material - cuttings are obtained in the process of pruning indoor roses. If the rose grew on the street, but is small in size, suitable for indoor growing, branches can be taken from it.
But not every variety of garden roses will take root in indoor pot. Climbing rose considered suitable for rooting. And here is the teahouse garden rose almost does not give good results, except for a small percentage.
The most suitable shoots for rooting are received in spring and summer, with ripe buds or flowering. Long shoots are fine too. A prerequisite is the presence of kidneys. The length of the handle is up to 12 cm.
A knife or scissors for slicing is desirable disinfect alcohol or potassium permanganate. The cut is made under the kidney from below and above the kidney at a distance of up to 1 cm from above. The existing leaves are cut in half.
Rooting method in the ground
Cuttings are planted in the ground immediately after cutting. There are drugs that promote rooting. In the preparation "Kornevin" you need to dip the lower cut of the cutting. And from the means of "Epin" they make a solution in which the slices are kept for up to half a day.
Stalk immersed in the ground 1/3 and tamp the soil. Naturally, before harvesting the cuttings, containers with soil must be prepared. Each container is covered with a jar or a common greenhouse is made under the film.
The moisture in the greenhouse evaporates slowly. Therefore, you do not need to water every day. Favorable soil temperature - up to 25 degrees Celsius.
Roses are obligatory required good lighting ... If it is impossible to put them on the windowsill, we make the backlight (daylight hours - 15 hours). Rooting period - up to 5 weeks. When the leaves begin to grow, then air can be supplied to the greenhouse, and then completely remove the film (jar).
If rooting was done in a common container, over time, roses seated one at a time... The distance between the roses should be about 5 cm. Being in the light, the roses should not be exposed to the scorching sun.
With the growth of the root system, a lump of earth is transferred to a large container. In a 500 ml container, a rose can live until next spring without transplanting. Regular care: watering, temperature regime .
In the fall, they can stand on the veranda in cool conditions. In winter, you also need to keep them away from the heat of the battery. As the winter day begins to increase, the plants will respond with growth. The first year is not worth the wait abundant flowering, since it occurs subsequently with thorough rooting.
Rooting by air layers
If the culture of a compact (indoor) size has long stems associated with the variety - climbing, then it can be propagated by layering. It's over reliable way not life-threatening for the rooted branch.
Air layers can be rooted in any plant. And this is exactly what they do for reliability, if there are not enough cuttings. When propagating by layering, it is advisable to take a flowering branch.
Leaves are removed from the bottom and make longitudinal cuts with a sharp cutting object (razor or knife) on the bark. Then put a bag of sand in place of the cut. This soil needs to be moistened regularly for rooting.
After three weeks or less, root buds will begin to develop on the incised stem. With a darkening of the stem in the place of the cut and the absence of roots, the conclusion is drawn: rooting by layering did not work. It is necessary to cut this shoot above the spoiled place and plant it in the form of a cutting.
You can learn about successful rooting by the growth of new shoots. Necessary moisten the soil regularly avoiding excess moisture. Drying out is also unacceptable. The size of the pot is also important.
Soil and fertilizers... Ready-made soil for sale in a package for roses, which has all the necessary components. You can also make a soil from a mixture of sand and peat.
Sod sand - good composition soil for further development plants. The substrate is prepared by taking light soil, adding to it twice as much turf, the same amount of peat and a little sand.
Humus is a good fertilizer for the rose. When new leaves appear on a rooted rose, you can make mineral fertilizers and organic.
Container size and greenhouse conditions
The opinions of florists differ. Some insist on the correspondence of the pot to the size of the plant and believe that the cuttings need a small capacity, no more than 200 ml.
Others say: the rose loves a large amount of soil and you can immediately take a larger pot. One way or another, the container should have a good drainage, drain holes.
After the roots have taken up all the space in a small pot, the rose must be transplanted directly with a clod of earth into a larger container. If the pot is too large, there is a danger of uneven moisture, moisture stagnation, pests that spoil the roots.
When a single rose is rooted in a balcony box, other plants with similar climatic preferences can be planted there. It is quite possible to plant several cuttings of a rose in one box.
It is required to take into account that wind and draft are also harmful to the culture during rooting. For protection from wind, as well as for long-term preservation of moisture and creating the necessary climate use greenhouses... This is polyethylene film covering a container, or a jar for each bush.
Dangers and pests
Spider mites are perhaps the most common cause of plant disease. Signs of infection - yellowing leaves, stuntedness... Sometimes home flower cannot be saved. Regular inspection of the foliage of the plant from the back side, as well as the tops, is required.
Although healthy appearance indoor plant speaks for itself, to combat a spider mite when it is detected, drugs are used, for example, Fitoverm, potash soap for spraying.
Mini roses are resistant to diseases, but sometimes they are affected by a gray bloom on the foliage. The result of the disease is yellow leaves... Aphids are also a pest that can infect a delicate plant.
And this happens in a weakened state caused by waterlogging of the soil, excess fertilizers. In order to avoid ticks, it is recommended from time to time spray bushes.
The mold that has appeared must be washed off the plant, as well as the entire window sill must be cleaned, and allowed to dry. Good air circulation and ventilation are needed against mold.
A home rose garden doesn't just decorate the room and its window. With the help of this beautiful and harmoniously created plant, you can achieve a chic floral design for the illuminated area of the interior.
If you have the skills, new plantings are made, even rooting roses from bouquets. Having for a start one indoor rose, over time you can acquire a whole plantation. Moreover, there are compact varieties of beautiful indoor roses.
Rose care provides seasonal shoot pruning on which to try rooting methods. If the methods of cuttings are different, then you always need to divide the batch of cuttings into two and look for suitable conditions rooting using both methods. After all, the conditions for adaptation differ depending on the variety and other factors.
Caring for a garden and home rose is different, since a plant in a pot behaves differently than in an open field. Moody flower requires special attention, and it is also important to know how to properly care in order to maintain decorative view room rose.
Actions after buying a potted rose
To attract buyers, sellers use techniques that harm the plant, lead to its death.
If a rose was presented or it was purchased at a flower shop, then as soon as the plant is at home, a number of actions are performed:
- Immediately remove the packaging in which fungi grow well, since the air does not get to the plant.
- Carefully inspect and clean of dried or withered branches and leaves.
- Place under a warm shower to remove possible pests.
- Cut flowers and buds. In stores, the plant is treated with stimulants, which cause abundant flowering, which is beyond the strength of a rose. She can quickly die.
- If there are several bushes in the pot, then they are seated.
- The rose is treated with special preparations against fungi and pests.
- It is necessary to transplant into another pot after two to three weeks, so that she gets used to the new living conditions.
- In the evening, it is useful to spray with cool boiled water.
Requirements for growing conditions
Competent plant care is impossible without understanding the natural needs on which the growing rules are based.
Pot and soil
The pot must have a hole to remove excess moisture. After purchase, a new ceramic pot is lowered into warm water for two to three hours.
The pot should not be too spacious. To grow roses, you need a light pot, since dark ones attract excess ultraviolet rays. The soil needs fertile and loose.
The optimal soil has the following composition, which you can make yourself:
- greenhouse land - 2 parts;
- deciduous land - 2 parts;
- sod land - 1 part;
- sand - 1 part.
Lighting
The plant needs a lot of light, but direct sunlight will burn the leaves when sprayed.
Consider the following:
- the plant feels better on windowsills facing southeast or southwest.
- light should be diffused, if necessary, a special film is used to protect the rose from the sun;
- used in winter artificial lighting , lamps should have a red-blue spectrum, it is better to use special phytolamps.
Temperature and humidity
In summer, the temperature should not be higher than 22 degrees; in winter, the rose can be taken out to glazed balcony at a temperature not lower than 8 degrees.
Air humidity not lower than 50%. IN winter time the air in the apartment is too dry, which harms the plant.
- spray the leaves with heated water;
- rinse the leaves;
- place containers with water near it.
How to grow more crops?
Any gardener and summer resident is pleased to receive big harvest with large fruits... Unfortunately, it is far from always possible to get the desired result.
Plants often lack nutrition and minerals.
It has the following properties:
- Allows increase yield by 50% in just a few weeks of use.
- You can get a good harvest even on low fertile soils and in adverse climatic conditions
- Absolutely safe
Caring for a rose in a pot
Watering and feeding
The rose needs regular watering, if the soil dries up, it may die. Under no circumstances should it be watered with tap water.
Water must be cleaned of harmful impurities in one of the following ways:

Demand to themselves increased attention: you have to create optimal conditions for their active growth and flowering.
Growing conditions
Since the plant is not, it needs moderate living conditions. So, let's figure out how to care for a home rose so that this beautiful flower has become a real decoration of your interior.
Air temperature and humidity
IN summer time the temperature should be moderate throughout the year, and cool during the winter season. At home, miniature roses suffer not so much from high air temperatures as from overheating or drying out of the soil in the container. Optimum temperature content in summer period- + 20-25 ° C. However, slight daily temperature fluctuations will only benefit the plant. 
In winter, in order for the rose to rest, it is transferred to a cool place with a temperature of + 10-15 ° C.
Important!On a bright sunny day, try not to splash water directly on the flower. This can lead to spoilage of buds and the development of fungal diseases.
Lighting
Home rose, like most, is a light-loving culture. At the same time, overheating of the bushes should not be allowed, therefore it is customary to place them on the southeast or west window. To in summer season protect the flower from direct sunlight, it is better to take it out into the open air (balcony or terrace). 
If this is not possible, then it is advisable to transfer the pot to another window or darken it.
Pot and soil
Roses can be planted in containers of all shapes and sizes. The only condition is that there must be enough space in the container so that the bush can develop and the air can circulate freely. You are required to find a compromise between beauty and functionality. 
It is advisable to transplant overgrown bushes into a larger container. When choosing a pot, the color of the flowers and the style of the surrounding interior should also be taken into account. By type of container the best option are wooden or ceramic pots.
Plastic pots are allowed, but less reliable. it dries out quickly in them in summer, which leads to the rapid withering of the buds. It is also better to refuse clay pots - they quickly lose water. 
The soil must be air and moisture permeable.
Use the following nutrient medium:
- sod land (4 parts);
- humus (4 parts);
- sand (1 part).
The pot must have a good drainage system, to excess moisture freely passed through the ground. However, the size of the drain holes must be such that water does not flow out of the container too quickly.
Care rules
Next, we will take a closer look at how to care for roses at home. These flowers love good as the soil dries out, feeding in phase and timely. 
Watering
Regular watering pink plants especially important in the summer during flowering and growth. Drying out the earth is dangerous for them. Therefore, water the flower as soon as the soil dries up (especially in small containers). However, do not overdo it with watering, the soil in the pot should not turn sour.
In spring, the plant should not feel a lack of moisture or light. Sometimes in the evening, the plant is sprayed with cool boiled water from a spray bottle. As soon as the bush outgrows the pot, it must be transferred to a larger container, trying not to disturb the roots. 
After spring frosts and with the establishment of a warm night temperature, it is time to transfer the pot with a flower to Fresh air(to the garden or loggia). Home plant accustom to the bright sun gradually. For this purpose, the flower is first placed in a shady corner and only after 10-14 days is transferred to a sunny area.
Summer
Summer care for a room rose consists in regular watering, spraying, fertilizing, as well as removing wilted parts of the plant. To prevent the flower from overheating in the summer heat, monitor the condition of the plant. It is important to notice the signs of diseases and emerging pests in time. 
If you notice that the bush is growing rapidly and the container becomes too tight, wait until evening and transfer the rose to a new spacious container. If the flower located on the window is illuminated only from one side, then it naturally stretches towards the sunlight.
To ensure uniform illumination of the flower, it is necessary to turn the pot from time to time. Thanks to this procedure, you will avoid the problem of developing a one-sided plant.
In autumn
In autumn, in conditions of low night temperatures (up to 15-12 ° C), transfer the rose from the balcony to the room and place it on the windowsill of the south window. After the flowering phase, start preparing the plant for wintering: water less often (leave the soil dry for 1-2 days before watering) and gradually stop feeding. 
Since ancient times, the rose has been considered the queen of flowers, a symbol of beauty and perfection. How graceful are hybrid tea, tea, polyanthus and other roses! Surely they could become the best decoration your house. However, to grow them at home? This is not an easy task: you need large containers, free space, appropriate temperature conditions, etc. It is much easier to purchase a so-called indoor miniature rose, because it does not require much space, and its beauty is in no way inferior to its relatively large relatives.
Today it will not be difficult to buy this flower: in any specialized store you will find a large number of a wide variety of varieties of miniature roses. They all differ in shape and color. You just have to make a choice. And in order for the plant to retain its beauty and elegance longer, to delight you with abundant flowering, you will need to create for it favorable conditions and appropriate care.
Having bought a miniature rose, do not rush to transplant it, but give a little time to get used to the conditions of your apartment. It is also important to place the plant in a well-lit place, but not in direct sunlight. In case of favorable development, in a week and a half, transplant your ward into a more spacious pot (4-5 cm more than the previous one) with correctly selected soil (you can purchase a ready-made mixture of soil with fertilizers in a flower shop).
If you bought a young, single-stemmed plant, do not let it bloom. To do this, carefully remove the bud, and pinch the end of the stem with something. After this procedure, find a developed bud and pin the stem over it. Do not be afraid to do this: at least two shoots will grow from this bud. When buds appear on these shoots, repeat the same procedure again. After the appearance of stems of the third order, you can allow the rose to bloom. This is the only way you can get a healthy and properly developing plant.
If you bought a rose that has already blossomed, then treat the plant with a special preparation that slows down the formation of new buds. The main thing? do not miss the moment, otherwise the flower will begin to develop intensively and you will not notice how it will turn into an untidy bush. As a rule, the period of abundant flowering occurs closer to spring, so periodically prune the flower.
It should be said that the indoor rose is a very capricious and demanding plant in terms of keeping conditions. Firstly, this flower does not accept dry air (especially, do not forget about this during the heating season). Therefore, I strongly recommend that you regularly spray your roses. Secondly, for good flowering this plant needs a lot of light: choose only sunny windowsills for it. As for watering, a lot depends on the season: in winter it is enough to water the rose once a week, and in summer it requires a large number water.
We also note that with the onset of the hot season, it is better to put the flower on the balcony, where it will receive a lot of sunlight and be well ventilated. In this case, it is advisable to transplant a decorative rose from a pot into open ground. In the fall, move the flower back to the house and give it time to adapt to room conditions... To do this, cover it plastic bag: this will make it easier for the rose to get used to the drier room air. If you did not plant a plant in the ground, then after flowering, it is advisable to partially transplant it into a larger pot. An annual full rose transplant is not required.
And the last thing. Even with all the efforts you have taken to care for the miniature room rose, it is very difficult to avoid the various that are caused by insects such as spider mite, etc. Therefore, always be ready to fight back these annoying pests. And don't forget: best remedy fight against them - prevention. Regular spraying with special solutions will ensure proper development of your favorite roses. And they will delight you for a long time bright colors and a pleasant scent.
Who can resist the charm of delicate rosebuds? Certainly not keen growers!
Therefore, every flower lover must have a rose in a pot in his home collection.
Very often the purchase of a rose is spontaneous. Indeed, they look very attractive in the store. Indoor roses are often given to women who love flowers.
In any case, if you purchased a rose or received it as a gift, our article will definitely come in handy.
How to keep a room rose after purchase
Rose is not an easy flower for home keeping, it is quite demanding and capricious. It is not enough to become the happy owner of this beauty, it is also necessary to save the flower and find an approach to it, otherwise the sad consequences will not be long in coming.
Yes exactly. The purchased plant usually looks fresh and full of energy, blooms amazingly and it seems that it will always be so.
In fact, the plants end up on the counter fed with all kinds of stimulants, in addition, they have a special packaging that preserves high humidity... Getting to our windowsill, roses are deprived of all this.
Almost immediately, inexperienced flower growers have problems: roses begin to turn yellow, their leaves dry and fly around, the buds fall off and turn black. The rosette orders to live long and disappears, leaving behind nothing but frustration.
It should be noted that the rose is considered a plant. open ground... Some varieties are more adapted for keeping in apartment conditions, than others. But this does not mean that keeping them in an apartment is an easy matter.
When purchasing a room rose, after purchase, you just need to take a set of rescue measures, even if the plant looks healthy and strong. Believe me, it won't be long!
So what are the steps to take when you brought the rose home:
- Remove the packing wrap, if present. Although the packaging helps to maintain moisture, but because of it, the rose is often affected by fungal diseases while still in the store. packaging interferes with air exchange, creating an ideal environment for fungi.
- Use pruning shears or scissors to remove any withered leaves, blackened and dried stems that are on the plant.
- Flowers and buds also need to be cut. Of course, for the sake of them we acquire a plant and would like to admire them enough, but the plant, the flowering of which was stimulated by special preparations and greenhouse care, subsequently simply cannot withstand such abundant flowering, and having given all its strength to it, dies. Therefore, we cut off all flowers and buds that are present on the plant, along with the bearing stem.
- Pay attention to the number of bushes in the pot. Indoor rose growers often plant several plants in one pot to create the appearance of a lush flowering bush... Crowded plants weaken each other, nutrients are lacking. Bushes, if there are several of them, must be planted in different pots.
- After transplantation, it is necessary to treat the rose with antifungal drugs (Fitosporin) and pest drugs (Fitoverm).
Transplanting a room rose
To transplant a rose, remove it from the previous pot along with an earthen ball. Assess the condition of the roots surrounding the earth.
If the roots are thin, like hair, brown or blackened, dry or rotten, then the plant is likely to die. You can make an attempt to save him: cut the cuttings and try to root them.
Healthy roots are bright white or yellowish in color and look quite dense, like a thin wire. If the roots are only partially missing, you need to remove all rotten and damaged ones, leaving healthy ones.
Pour expanded clay or other drainage at the bottom of the new pot.
It is better to buy a soil mixture ready for roses or garden. Do not take cheap soil, it contains a lot of peat and few useful substances. Better to choose a better quality potting mix.
You can make a soil mixture yourself, taking: 1 part of humus + 1 part of leafy land + 1 part of coniferous land + 3 parts of sod land + 1 part of sand.
Cover the drainage with earth, compact a little. Place the rose bush with an earthen lump, cover with new earth, periodically compacting it so that the bush does not hang out in the pot, but is well fixed. Pour with settled or filtered water at room temperature.
Treatment for diseases and pests is necessary. A pruned and transplanted plant is weakened and susceptible to disease, even if there was good care and there was no infection. Therefore, it is better to play it safe and process it.
Also, after transplanting, treatment with Epin is effective - it will strengthen the plant's immunity and reduce the stress from transplanting.
Spray your plant, it needs high humidity, especially in conditions of working heating and dry air in the apartment. If the rose is very small and weak, then the pot can be covered with a bottle on top (with small holes), creating a greenhouse, and only then gradually accustom the rose to the apartment air.
Room rose care
Lighting
Rose is a light-loving plant. For her well-being, she needs a lot of light. South windows are very suitable for growing. On the rest of the world, backlighting will be required in winter.
Temperature
The optimum temperature for growing indoor roses is 18-25 degrees. Since the rose is an open field plant, she loves fresh air very much and she needs it for full growth. In the summertime, the rose can be taken out into the garden or on the balcony. The rest of the time, you need to organize airing, while avoiding drafts that are harmful to roses.
Watering
A home rose is watered with settled water at room temperature. Cold water is bad for them. The rose will be grateful for regular spraying both in summer heat and in winter. heating season... If the rosette is near the battery, then it is better to put it in a pallet with wet expanded clay.
Fertilizers
The rosette is fed with complex fertilizers for roses from spring to winter once every 2-3 weeks, in the fall, gradually reducing the frequency of fertilizing.
Reproduction
Indoor rose is propagated by cuttings. For this, cuttings up to 15 cm long, with several buds, are suitable. They are rooted in the ground, covered with a bottle or bag on top. To do this, you can take small cups for seedlings.
The roots appear in about 2 weeks. The greenhouse can be gradually removed after the appearance of new leaves. Transplanting rooted cuttings is possible only when the root system is well developed.
Pruning
Roses periodically need pruning to form a bush. It is best produced in the spring. Branches that have lengthened over the winter, faded flowers, weak and dry branches are removed.
Diseases and pests of a room rose
Problems and solutions:
The rose dries
This problem occurs especially often in summer and winter. On hot days, the rose evaporates a lot of moisture, you need to closely monitor the moisture of the soil, not allowing it to dry out completely, and also spray it regularly. In winter, due heating appliances air humidity tends to zero, the plant begins to experience a moisture deficit.
The rosette dries up in the following cases:
- the root system is damaged or dead and the rose cannot absorb moisture and nutrients
- insufficient watering and humidity
- very dry indoor air
- the rose stands near the heaters
If you notice that the leaves of your rose have begun to dry, do not wait to continue, but take measures to save the flower. First of all, you need to check the soil in the pot, if it is dry, water it. It is also recommended to remove the plant from batteries central heating... Place the rose in a tray with damp expanded clay and spray more often. If a rose bush small size then you can cover it with a bag or bottle until the plant bounces back.
If the above measures do not help, remove the plant from the pot and see the condition of the roots. If they are dry and brittle, darkened, then the flower is threatened with death, and it remains only to take cuttings from it. Because if the roots of the plant have dried up due to rare watering, or for other reasons (sometimes they are already from the store) and died, then there is no way to restore them.
The leaves of the rose turn yellow
Why leaves can turn yellow:
- excessive watering, the roots do not have enough air
- soil poor in nutrients: there is not enough nitrogen, potassium, manganese, phosphorus
- lack of iron (chlorosis)

If your rose turns yellow, first of all pay attention to watering, if it is too frequent. In what form is potted soil? Does it not resemble a swamp? In this case, watering should be reduced, leave only spraying for a while.
If after the purchase you have not transplanted a rose yet, then do it urgently. The land in which they are sold is very poor in nutrients. Either the soil into which you transplanted the plant was not best quality, this also happens.
You can try to feed the rose with complex fertilizers for flowers, preferably especially for roses. Favorite fertilizers: Greenworld and Bona Forte for roses.
If feeding helps weakly and only for a while, then it is worth replanting the plant in a more nutritious soil. You should not transplant the rose into the ground from the garden.
If you find chlorosis in a rose - this is a characteristic yellowing of the leaves, then this indicates a lack of iron. Feed the rose with Iron Chelate or Ferrovit according to the instructions.
Chlorosis of a rose If a rose long time flooded (perhaps it happened in the store + from high humidity fungus often joins), then its root system could rot. If the roots look black or brown, they are easily choked with a finger, then they are rotten and cannot be restored. If some of the roots are healthy, then the rotten roots must be removed, the flower must be transplanted into a pot with good drainage and no longer poured.
Water the rose only with water at room temperature. Strongly cold water poorly dissolves nutrients that are contained in the earth and the plant does not receive them. It also promotes decay of roots, a decrease in plant immunity and increases the susceptibility to disease.
The rose darkens, withers, leaves fall
Falling leaves may be associated with dryness (see Rose dries above). If the leaves do not dry, but wither and fall off, then this may be for the following reasons:
- the rose is frozen (draft, ventilation in winter, if the wind blew on it, etc.)
- watering with cold water
- fungal diseases
- viral diseases
- pests
Dark, sluggish leaves and shoots need to be cut. If the rose is frozen, then gradually it will go away by itself, dropping the frostbitten leaves.
How to recognize fungal diseases? Blackening or graying, covered with bloom, stems, all kinds of growths and plaques, spots on the leaves, "rust" of roses, powdery mildew- are a sign of fungal diseases. From them we make treatment with Fitosporin according to the instructions.
How to recognize viral diseases? Changes in leaf color, mosaicism, deformation of the shape of the leaf plate are signs of a viral disease. Viral diseases are treated by removing damaged shoots and improving the conditions of the plant and increasing its immunity.
How to recognize a pest? Often, the consequences of the actions of malicious insects are visible visually. On the leaves there are either the pests themselves, they can be very small, multi-colored and transparent, but nevertheless if you look closely, you will see how they move, or traces of their vital activity - spots eaten away on the leaves, paths, black dots, cobwebs (in case of infection spider mite). In general, mites, aphids, thrips and other pests are very fond of a rose; in the summer, treatment with drugs against them is strictly required, even if you do not see them. In this case, we use Fitoverm according to the instructions.
Still, it is worth remembering that no matter how you try to create greenhouse conditions inside the apartment, the rose may not appreciate it, and it is best to plant it in the garden, where it will definitely feel at home.
