Roses in the Luhansk People's Republic are prepared for winter

Rosaries in the Luhansk People’s Republic continue to delight with flowering, but preparations for winter are already beginning now. Tatiana Dzyuba, an experienced agronomist of the Donetsk branch of the Rosselkhozcenter, compiled a checklist for the preservation of the queen of flowers.

So, in September, it is important to exclude nitrogen feeding, stimulating the growth of greenery, which will freeze in winter. Instead, potassium and phosphorus are used: potassium monophosphate or a mixture of potassium sulfate with superphosphate. Wood ash will also be an excellent alternative, strengthening the cell walls of shoots.

Watering in autumn is vital: moist soil freezes more slowly, protecting the roots. At the end of October, watering is carried out (up to 30 liters under the bush).

Pruning of dry branches is performed only after the first frost, leaving a maximum of healthy wood. Also, experts note that shelter with breathable material on the arcs will protect the bushes from grinding during winter thaws.
