Many indoor plant lovers prefer to have a rose among their pets. This does not interfere with the whimsicalness 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 a 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 a room
Home indoor roses are distinguished by 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 cultivation take compact plants, because root system roses require quite a lot of soil, do not like shyness.
Pot crops can be the following types of domestic or indoor roses.
- Rose Kordana (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. Hybrid tea garden roses should not be forced to grow in the room. They are almost not amenable to cutting in room conditions. How to propagate roses?
Reproduction methods
The following methods of reproduction of these flowers are known:
- seeds, which is very laborious and almost never practiced;
- cuttings of roses - the most common and popular way;
- layering, if the stems are long, climbing.
Also, a rose is grafted onto a wild rose, getting a copy of the desired variety. But this is no longer reproduction. And also the vaccine is used exclusively in horticulture.
How to propagate roses from cuttings? Many species are propagated by cuttings, but this is not always simple task. Rosa Cordana, for example, difficult to reproduce. And miniature varieties intended for rooms and interiors are easier to cut.
How to grow roots in water
This method is most suitable for miniature and dwarf roses. Green cuttings Roses are the most commonly propagated. This annual shoots that gave buds. For the formation of roots in water, it is recommended to follow the following 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 flower growers believe that miniature roses wait up to three weeks for roots to appear and grow them up to a centimeter. They must branch out. Planted in containers of 200 ml with holes for draining water.
Some take into account the phases of the moon and believe that landing should be done on the growing 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 flowering 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
Propagation material-cuttings are obtained in the process of pruning indoor roses. If the rose grew on the street, but has a small size suitable for indoor cultivation, branches can be taken from it.
But not every variety of garden rose will take root in indoor pot. climbing rose considered suitable for rooting. And here is the tea garden rose almost does not give good results, except for a small percentage.
The most suitable shoots for rooting - received in spring and summer, with ripe buds or blooming. Long runs are fine too. A prerequisite is the presence of kidneys. The length of the handle is up to 12 cm.
Knife or scissors for cutting preferably disinfect alcohol or potassium permanganate. We make a cut under the kidney below and above the kidney at a distance of up to 1 cm from above. The existing leaves are cut in half.
Method of rooting in the ground
Cuttings immediately after the cut are planted in the ground. There are drugs that promote rooting. In the drug "Kornevin" you need to dip the lower cut of the cutting. And from the means of "Epin" they make a solution in which sections are kept for up to half a day.
cutting immersed in the ground 1/3 and tamp the soil. Naturally, before harvesting 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, it is not necessary to water every day. Favorable soil temperature - up to 25 degrees Celsius.
Roses are a must required good lighting . If you can not put them on the windowsill, we make the backlight (light day - 15 hours). Rooting period - up to 5 weeks. When the leaves begin to grow, then air can be supplied to the greenhouse, and then the film (jar) can be completely removed.
If rooting was done in a common container, over time, roses seated one at a time. The distance between roses should be about 5 cm. Being in the light, roses should not fall under the scorching sun.
When the root system grows, they are transshipped with a clod of earth into a large container. In a 500 ml container, the rose can live until next spring without a transplant. Normal care: watering, temperature regime .
In autumn, 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 lengthen, the plants will respond by growing. Don't wait for the first year abundant flowering, since it occurs later with a thorough rooting.
Rooting by air layering
If a culture of compact (room) size has long stems associated with a variety - climbing, then it can be propagated by layering. It's over reliable way, not dangerous to the life of the rooted branch.
Air layering can be rooted on 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 a sharp cutting object (razor or knife) on the bark. Then put a sandbag over the incision site. This rooting soil needs to be moistened regularly.
Three weeks later, or earlier, root buds will begin to develop on the incised stem. With the darkening of the stem at the site of the cut and the absence of roots, they conclude: rooting by layering did not work. It is necessary to cut this shoot above the damaged place and plant it in the form of a cutting.
You can learn about successful rooting by the growth of new shoots. Necessary regularly moisten the soil avoiding excess moisture. Drying out is also unacceptable. The size of the pot is also important.
Soil and fertilizer. Ready-made soil is sold in a package for roses, which has all the necessary components. You can also make soil from a mixture of sand and peat.
Sand with turf - good composition ground 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 bit of sand.
A good fertilizer for roses is humus. When new leaves appear on a rooted rose, you can make mineral fertilizers and organic.
Container size and greenhouse conditions
Florists' opinions differ. Some insist on matching the pot to the size of the plant and believe that the cutting needs a small capacity, no more than 200 ml.
Others say: the rose loves a large amount of soil and you can immediately take a bigger pot. One way or another, the container must have a good drainage, drain holes.
After the roots take 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 excessively large, there is a danger of uneven moisture, moisture stagnation, and the appearance of pests that spoil the roots.
When rooting a single rose in a balcony box, other plants that are similar in climatic preferences can be planted there. It is quite possible to plant several rose cuttings in one box.
It must be taken into account that wind and draft are also harmful to the culture when rooting. For protection from the wind, as well as for long-term preservation of moisture and creating the necessary climate use greenhouses. This polyethylene film, covering the container, or a jar for each bush.
Dangers and pests
Spider mite is perhaps the most common cause of plant disease. Signs of infection - yellowing leaves, stunted. Sometimes home flower cannot be saved. Regular inspection of the foliage of the plant from the back, as well as the tops, is required.
Although healthy appearance houseplant speaks for itself, to combat the spider mite, when it is detected, drugs are used, for example, Fitoverm, potassium soap for spraying.
Mini roses are resistant to diseases, but sometimes they are struck by a gray coating on the foliage. The result of the disease yellow leaves. Aphids are also a pest that can infect a tender plant.
And this happens in a weakened state, caused by waterlogging of the soil, excess fertilizer. In order to avoid the tick, it is recommended from time to time spray bushes.
The mold that has appeared must be washed off the plant, and the entire window sill must be cleaned and allowed to dry. Against mold, good air circulation and ventilation are needed.
A home rose garden does more than just decorate a 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 \u200b\u200bthe interior.
If there are skills, new plantings are made, rooting even roses from bouquets. Having to start with one indoor rose, over time you can get a whole plantation. Moreover, there are compact varieties of beautiful indoor roses.
Rose care includes seasonal pruning on which you can try rooting methods. If the cutting methods 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 vary depending on the variety and other factors.
Caring for garden and home roses is different, because a plant in a pot behaves differently than in the open field. capricious flower requires special attention, and it is also important to know how to properly care in order to maintain decorative look room rose.
Actions after buying a potted rose

- The rose is treated with special preparations against fungi and pests.
- It is necessary to transplant into another pot in 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
Proper plant care is impossible without understanding the natural needs on which the rules of cultivation are based.
Pot and soil

- sod land - 1 part;
- sand - 1 part.
Lighting
The plant needs a lot of light, but direct sunlight will cause leaf burns when sprayed.
Take into account the following:
- the plant feels better on the windowsills facing southeast or southwest.
- light should be diffused, if necessary, a special film is used to protect the rose from the sun;
- applied in winter artificial lighting , lamps should have a red-blue spectrum, it is better to use special fitolamps.
Temperature and humidity

They demand for themselves heightened attention: you must create optimal conditions for their active growth and flowering.
Growing conditions
Since the plant is not, it needs moderate conditions. So, let's figure out how to care for a home rose so that this beautiful flower become a real decoration of your interior.
Temperature and humidity
IN summer time year the temperature should be moderate, and in the winter season - cool. At home, miniature roses suffer not so much from elevated 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 fluctuations in temperature 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 damage to the 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, so 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 circulates 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 container type the best option are wooden or ceramic pots.
Plastic pots are allowed, but they are less reliable. in them in the summer quickly dries out, 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 substrate:
- 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 drainage holes should 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, top dressing in phase and timely. 
Watering
Regular watering pink plants especially important in the summer during flowering and growth. Drying out of the earth is dangerous for them. Therefore, water the flower as soon as the soil dries out (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 flower pot 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.
In summer
Summer care for a room rose consists of regular watering, spraying, fertilizing, and removing wilted parts of the plant. So that the flower does not overheat in the summer heat, monitor the condition of the plant. It is important to notice signs of diseases and pests in time. 
If you notice that the bush is growing rapidly, and the container is getting 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 reaches for 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.
autumn
In autumn, at 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 elegant hybrid tea, tea, polyanthus and other roses are! Surely they could be the best decoration your house. However, grow them at home? it is not an easy task: large capacities, free space, appropriate temperature conditions, etc. are needed. It is much easier to purchase the so-called indoor miniature rose, because it does not require much space, and in beauty it is in no way inferior to relatively large relatives.
Today it will not be difficult to buy this flower: in any specialized store you will find a large number of the most diverse varieties of miniature roses. All of them 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 please 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 it some time to get used to the conditions of your apartment. It is also important to put the plant in a well-lit place, but not in direct sunlight. In case of favorable development, after a week and a half, transplant your ward into a larger pot (4-5 cm larger than the previous one) with properly selected soil (you can buy a ready-made mixture of soil with fertilizers in a flower shop).
If you bought a young plant with one central stem, do not let it bloom. To do this, carefully remove the bud, and pinch the end of the stem with something. After the procedure, find a developed kidney and pinch a 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 in turn, repeat the same procedure again. After the appearance of stems of the third order, you can allow the rose to bloom. Only in this way can you get a healthy and properly developing plant.
If you bought an already bloomed rose, 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 turns into an untidy shaped bush. As a rule, the period of abundant flowering comes closer to spring, so periodically cut 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 window sills for it. As for watering, a lot depends on the season: in winter it is enough to water a 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 desirable to transplant a decorative rose from a pot into open ground. In autumn, move the flower back into the house and give it time to adapt to room conditions. To do this, cover it plastic bag: so it will be easier for the rose to get used to the drier indoor 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. Even with all the efforts you have made to care for a miniature room rose, it is very difficult to avoid various insects that cause insects such as spider mite, etc. Therefore, always be ready to fight back these annoying pests. And don't forget: the best remedy fight against them - prevention. Regular spraying with special solutions will ensure that your favorite roses develop properly. And they will delight you for a long time. bright colors and pleasant fragrance.
Who can resist the charm of delicate rosebuds? Certainly not enthusiastic flower 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. Still, because in the store they look very attractive. 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 save an indoor rose after purchase
A rose is not an easy flower for home maintenance, 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 keep you waiting.
Yes exactly. The purchased plant usually looks fresh and full of energy, blooms amazingly and it seems that it will always be like this.
In fact, the plants come to the counter fed with all kinds of stimulants, in addition, they have a special package that saves high humidity. Getting on 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. 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 task.
When purchasing a room rose, after the purchase, it is simply necessary to take a set of rescue measures, even if the plant looks healthy and strong. Trust me, it won't be long!
So, what are the steps to take when you brought a rose home:
- Remove packing wrap, if present. Although the packaging helps to retain moisture, but because of it, the rose is often affected by fungal diseases even in the store, because. packaging interferes with air exchange, creating an ideal environment for fungi.
- Remove with secateurs or scissors all wilted 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 we would like to admire them to our heart's content, but the plant, whose flowering was stimulated by special preparations and greenhouse care, subsequently simply cannot withstand such abundant flowering, and having given it all its strength, dies. Therefore, we cut off all the flowers and buds that are present on the plant, along with the supporting stem.
- Pay attention to the number of bushes in the pot. Growers of indoor roses often plant several plants in one pot to create a lush look. flowering bush. Crowded plants weaken each other, nutrients are not enough. Bushes, if there are several, must be planted in different pots.
- After transplantation, it is necessary to treat the rose with antifungal drugs (Fitosporin) and pesticides (Fitoverm).
Transplanting a room rose
To transplant a rose, take it out of the old pot along with an earthy clod. Assess the condition of the roots braiding the ground.
If the roots are as thin as hair, brown or blackened, dry or rotten, 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 have disappeared only partially, 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 purchase a soil mixture ready for roses or garden. Do not take cheap soil, it has a lot of peat and few nutrients. It is better to choose a better soil mixture.
You can make the soil mixture yourself by taking: 1 part of humus + 1 part of leafy soil + 1 part of coniferous soil + 3 parts of soddy soil + 1 part of sand.
Fill the drainage with earth, compact a little. Place the rose bush together with the earthy clod, fill it with new earth, periodically compacting it so that the bush does not hang out in the pot, but is well fixed. Pour settled or filtered water at room temperature.
Treatment for diseases and pests is essential. A pruned and transplanted plant is weakened and susceptible to diseases, even if it was purchased in the store good care and there was no infection. Therefore, it is better to play it safe and process it.
Also, after transplantation, treatment with Epin is effective - it will strengthen the plant's immunity and reduce transplant stress.
Spray your plant, it needs high humidity, especially in conditions of working heating and dry air of the apartment. If the rose is very small and weak, then the pot can be covered with a bottle (with small holes) on top, creating a greenhouse, and only then gradually accustom the rose to the apartment air.
Room rose care
Lighting
The rose is a photophilous plant. For her well-being, she needs a lot of light. South windows are very good for growing. On the other cardinal points in winter, lighting will be required.
Temperature
The optimum temperature for growing indoor roses is 18-25 degrees. Since the rose is an open field plant, it loves fresh air very much and it needs it for full growth. In summer, the rose can be taken out into the garden or onto the balcony. The rest of the time you need to organize ventilation, while avoiding drafts that are harmful to roses.
Watering
Homemade 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 the summer heat and in the winter. heating season. If the rosette is near the battery, then it is better to put it in a tray with wet expanded clay.
fertilizers
The rosette is fed with complex fertilizers for roses from spring to winter once every 2-3 weeks, gradually reducing the frequency of feeding in the fall.
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.
Roots appear in about 2 weeks. The greenhouse can be gradually removed after the appearance of new leaves. It is possible to transplant rooted cuttings only when the root system develops well.
pruning
Roses periodically require pruning to form a bush. It is best to produce it in the spring. Branches that have elongated during the winter, faded flowers, weak and dry branches are removed.
Diseases and pests of indoor roses
Problems and their solution:
The rose dries
Especially often this problem occurs in summer and winter. On hot days, the rose evaporates a lot of moisture, you need to closely monitor the soil moisture, preventing it from completely drying out, and spray it regularly. in winter due to heating appliances humidity tends to zero, the plant begins to experience a lack of humidity.
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
- a rose stands near the heating appliances
If you notice that your rose leaves 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 the batteries central heating. Put the rose in a tray with wet expanded clay and spray more often. If the rose bush small size, then you can cover it with a bag or bottle until the plant returns to normal.
If these measures do not help, remove the plant from the pot and see what condition the roots are in. If they are dry and brittle, darkened, then the flower is threatened with death, and all that remains is 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 like this from the store) and died, then there is no way to restore them.
Rose leaves turn yellow
Why leaves may turn yellow:
- excessive watering, the roots do not have enough air
- nutrient-poor soil: lack of nitrogen, potassium, manganese, phosphorus
- iron deficiency (chlorosis)
- putrefactive processes in the root system

If your rose turns yellow, first of all pay attention to watering, if it is too frequent. What kind of potting soil? Doesn't it resemble swamps? In this case, watering should be reduced, leave only spraying for a while.
If after the purchase you have not yet transplanted a rose, then do it urgently. The land in which they are sold is very poor in nutrients. Either the soil in 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 specifically for roses. Favorite fertilizers: Greenworld and Bona Forte for roses.
If top dressing helps weakly and only for a while, then it is worth transplanting the plant into a more nutritious soil. You should not transplant a 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.
rose chlorosis If rose long time flooded (maybe it happened back in the store + from high humidity often a fungus joins), then its root system could rot. If the roots look black or brown, easily crushed with a finger, then they are rotten and cannot be restored. If part of the roots is healthy, then the rotten roots must be removed, the flower should 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 the nutrients that are contained in the earth and the plant does not receive them. It also contributes to the decay of the roots, a decrease in the immunity of the plant and increases the susceptibility to disease.
Roses darken, wither, leaves fall
Leaf drop may be due to dryness (see Rose dries above). If the leaves do not dry, but wither and fall, then this may be for the following reasons:
- the rose is frozen (draft, airing in winter, if the wind blew on it, etc.)
- pouring cold water
- fungal diseases
- viral diseases
- pests
dark, wilted leaves and shoots need to be cut. If the rose is frozen, then gradually it will move away by itself, dropping 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 produce the treatment with Fitosporin according to the instructions.
How to recognize viral diseases? Changing the color of the leaves, mosaic, 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 still if you look closely, you will see how they move, or traces of their vital activity - spots on the leaves eaten away by spots, paths, black dots, cobwebs (when infected spider mite). Roses are generally very fond of ticks, aphids, thrips and other pests; in the summer, treatment with drugs against them is strictly required, even if you do not see them. In this case, we use the drug Fitoverm according to the instructions.
Still, it is worth remembering that no matter how hard 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.
