The subtleties of growing roses Angela

Rose Angela can be planted in your garden plot. It is better to buy seedlings in the spring. The optimal time for planting in a flowerbed is the end of May. By this time the soil should warm up to 10 degrees Celsius. The air temperature must exceed +15 degrees Celsius.

Where to plant

The bush can be planted in the center of the flowerbed, on the sides of the garden path, near the house, near the fence. The rose is used for single or group plantings. Angela can grow in open sunny areas and in partial shade. Rose loves the sun, but does not tolerate soil that is too swampy.

If the place where it is planted is flooded with water during rains, the roots of the plant will begin to rot, and the rose may disappear.

Selection of seedlings

When purchasing, you need to carefully inspect the seedling. It should have lush green stems, elastic leaves, and healthy roots. Usually two-year-old seedlings are sold that bloom in the year of planting. Before planting the plant in a permanent place, its roots need to be dipped in Kornevin’s solution for 2 hours.

Preparing the site

To plant the Angela variety, you need to dig a hole 0.5 meters deep. The soil must be mixed with humus, peat, sand, leaf, turf or garden soil. You can add 300 grams of ash and a little Kemira Lux universal fertilizer to the soil mixture.

Planting process

Half of the excavated and fertilized soil must be poured back into the hole. A seedling must be placed on top of the mound. Its roots need to be sprinkled with the remaining soil. The root collar may remain above the soil surface. The soil around the plant should be lightly compacted. After planting, it is recommended to water the seedling with water (10 liters). Until the plant takes root in its new location, it needs to be protected from the sun and irrigated.

Further care

The Angela variety does not require any special care. It is advisable to water the plant during dry seasons and feed it with fertilizers several times during the summer.

Lighting

The rose will bloom profusely if planted in an open area under the sun. The plant can grow in partial shade.True, in a heavily shaded place the flowering will be weak.

Temperature and humidity

The Angela variety adapts perfectly to any weather conditions. In summer, the plant will bloom in heat and rain. The main thing is that the place where the rose is planted is not flooded with water after rains.

Watering and fertilizing

At the very beginning of the growing season, nitrogen substances are added to the soil. During the budding period, the plant can be fed with potassium and phosphorus. In summer, the rose is fertilized with complex mineral fertilizers (Kemira Universal).

Loosening and mulching

The soil around the rose can be loosened shallowly after each watering. It is important to remember that roses cannot tolerate waterlogged soil, and mulch made from peat or sawdust will retain moisture. Before wintering, the soil can be mulched with a thick layer of humus.

Trimming

Formative pruning is carried out at the initial stage of plant growth. The Angela variety can be given the appearance of a lush bush if you pinch out the growing points on the main shoots. The plant can be turned into a climbing rose if you leave 2-3 shoots, remove the lower and side branches, and allow only the top ones to develop.

In early spring and late autumn, sanitary pruning is carried out, that is, all weak and broken branches are removed. In summer, it is better to cut off flowers that have bloomed immediately to stimulate the appearance of new buds and prolong flowering.

Shelter

Before the onset of frost, the bush can be mulched with a thick layer of humus. This winter-hardy variety is not afraid of frost.True, in northern latitudes it is better to bend the bush to the ground, lay it on spruce branches and cover it with pine or spruce branches and burlap on top.

Reproduction methods

The Angelica variety propagates vegetatively. For propagation, lignified cuttings 15 cm long are taken. They are cut from the rose at the end of summer, after flowering. The cuttings are rooted in a moist substrate under a transparent flask. Rose Angela can also be propagated by layering. At the beginning of summer, the woody branch is slightly scratched, bent down and sprinkled with soil. At the point where the shoot touches the ground, roots will grow by autumn. It is better to separate the new plant from the mother plant next spring.
