Specifics of growing flowers

Rosa Anastasia is unpretentious in care.However, for the normal development of a flower, certain conditions must be created.

Choosing a landing site

It is recommended to grow the plant in an open, well-lit area with protection from the north wind. Cuttings should be planted at a distance of more than two meters from other shrubs and trees.

What should the soil be like?

It is recommended to plant the Anastasia rose in slightly acidic soil. The soil is first dug up and loosened.

Preparation of planting material

If seeds are used as planting material, then the latter must be sown in the ground for 2 weeks and left in a cold place, and then soaked in a 3% solution of hydrogen peroxide for 6 hours. During this time, the first shoots should appear.

It is recommended to purchase a seedling in the spring. Before planting, the shoot should be trimmed and placed in water for 2 hours.

Landing Features

It is recommended to plant cuttings between April and May. In the fall, this procedure is allowed to be carried out in the southern regions. The plant is planted in a previously prepared hole (crushed stone, sand or expanded clay should be poured into the bottom) so that the root collar is deepened by 3-4 centimeters. After the procedure, the ground around the seedling needs to be mulched.

Bloom

Rose Anastasia is loved for its beautiful white flowers that do not fade over a long period.

When and how does it happen?

The first buds on the Anastasia rose bush bloom in May. Flowering ends with the onset of autumn.

Care before and after flowering

During the flowering period, it is necessary to ensure sufficient watering. If necessary, mineral (universal) fertilizers must be applied to the bush.The plant can also be fed before the flowering period begins (with the exception of the first year after planting).

What to do if there are no buds?

In the first year, buds usually do not appear on a planted bush. In the future, the absence of flowers is explained by several reasons. Basically, this happens due to an incorrectly selected landing site. Roses do not bloom on bushes growing in shaded areas. In this case, it is recommended to transplant the plant to a new location.

The second reason for the lack of flowers is that the gardener prunes the bushes incorrectly. It is necessary to remove at least 1/3 of the shoots.

Flower care

Caring for roses of the Anastasia variety is not difficult. However, in order to achieve long-term flowering, the shrub must provide certain conditions for growth.

Temperature

Temperature does not play a key role in development. But this parameter should be taken into account when planting cuttings or sprouted seeds. This procedure is not recommended for air temperatures above +25 degrees. It is optimal if the soil warms up to +15.

Watering

It is recommended to apply up to four liters of water to an adult bush at a time. During the flowering period, the frequency of watering should be increased. Due to lack of moisture, there will be fewer flowers on the bush.

Top dressing

In the first year after planting, liquid fertilizers are applied under the trunk. In the future, fertilizers are applied up to five times per season. In spring, ammonium nitrate is used at the rate of 30 grams per square meter. After two weeks, this fertilizer is re-applied. For the third time, fertilizer with nitrogen is scattered around the trunk.

Weeding

Weeding is recommended to be done at least once a month to remove weeds.After this procedure, the roots begin to receive more oxygen, which has a positive effect on the development of the rose.

Trimming

In order for large buds to constantly appear on the bush, it is necessary to remove up to half of the shoots. Small flowers are formed in cases where only dry shoots are cut off.

Moving to another location

When moving to a new location, it is necessary to dig up the bush, being careful not to damage the root system. The rose should be planted in the same conditions as the first time.

Preparing for winter

It is recommended to store seedlings during the winter in a cool room. Before the onset of cold weather, planted shrubs are pruned, bent to the ground and covered with dry branches or leaves. It is also recommended to pour a small layer of soil on top.

Diseases and pests

Basically, traces of powdery mildew appear on Anastasia rose bushes. To combat this disease, a soda solution (50 grams per liter of water) is used, which must be sprayed on the leaves every 2 weeks.

Rose bushes are also susceptible to aphid attack. A soap solution (one piece, crushed and dissolved in 10 liters of water) helps get rid of this insect. This product must be boiled for 15 minutes, and then, after cooling to room temperature, applied to the affected leaves. Subsequent spraying can be carried out after 10 days.

How to propagate: step-by-step instructions

Roses are usually propagated by cuttings. Planting material is cut at an angle of 45 degrees after flowering below the first bud. The second cut should be made 2 centimeters higher.

The resulting cuttings are then soaked in a growth stimulator for 24 hours. At the end, the planting material is placed in a container with soil or in open soil.

Examples of use in landscape design

Rose Anastasia is grown on the site separately from other plants or in combination with various flowers. This bush is also used to form decorative barriers. Designers often plant the Anastasia rose to create flower arrangements in different styles.
