Growth habit of Chinese rose

Chinese rose, also known as moon red, is a Rosaceae plant. It is an ancient flower that originated in China, and was later hybridized by Europeans, and its varieties gradually increased.

At present, there are more than 30,000 varieties, and some people say that there are more than 50,000 varieties. At present, the cross breeding of roses has not stopped, and rose breeders all over the world are devoted to rose breeding every day.

Rose is cold-resistant and drought-tolerant, and has low requirements for soil, but it likes slightly acidic soil, which has good availability and the fastest growth in loose and breathable soil.

Generally, Chinese rose varieties are afraid of high temperature. If the temperature reaches above 35 degrees, they may get sunburned. When the temperature reached 5 degrees, it began to sleep.

At this time, only a few branches began to sleep. Some Chinese roses are still sprouting at MINUS 5 degrees, indicating that their roots are still very active. General rose varieties can withstand the temperature of-15 degrees. That's the point!

How to maintain Chinese rose in winter?

After understanding the habits of Chinese rose, I think many flower friends already have the answer in their hearts. There is a saying in Sun Tzu's Art of War: Know yourself and know yourself, and you will be invincible!

Raising Chinese roses is like fighting a war. Only by understanding the habits of Chinese roses can we master the ways to deal with them and raise them easily!

Since roses can withstand the low temperature of-15 degrees, let's leave it alone and put it outside. As long as it is not particularly cold, it is estimated that it will not freeze to death.

However, if you are still worried and want some safe methods, then you can do so.

① Move the roses indoors or put them in the greenhouse.

If you are afraid that the rose will freeze, you can move it indoors, and qualified flower lovers can build a greenhouse for the rose.

Don't put the roses indoors too early. I also made a video before to show that roses have certain cold resistance. If the temperature is not particularly low, don't move indoors.

This is good for roses. Once the roses are moved indoors, pay attention to ventilation and check the soil regularly. Don't let the soil dry completely. When the sun is shining at noon, we should move the roses outside to bask in the sun.

In other words, if the roses are moved into the house, it will increase the difficulty of maintenance. If you move into a house, it doesn't matter, roses are also prone to problems. It's best to put it outdoors.

(2) keep the roses warm.

If you choose to keep roses outdoors, you can put them in a sunny and sheltered place, and it won't be too cold.

If placed in a windy place, it is easy to take away the water in the rose branches, causing dryness and death. It's a trick.

In addition, broken quilts or old clothes can be used to wrap the rose pot soil to create a warm environment for the root system and prevent the root system from frostbite.

③ Prune roses.

Roses should be pruned in winter, but not too early, and it is not too late to wait until the leaves of roses fall off.

There will be no bleeding at this time. Cut off the branches, one is to better bloom in the coming year, and the other is to reduce nutrient consumption.

In winter, the roots hardly absorb nutrients. After pruning, you can wrap the roses in something warm and breathable and then put them away.

Generally speaking, the cold resistance of Chinese rose is better, and it doesn't need much care and worry except pruning. Just put it outside, as long as your local temperature is not lower than-10 degrees to-15 degrees.
