How to make the second wave of flowering roses in August
Welcome tsvetomany!
Want to fragrant roses adorned the garden throughout the summer? I share two methods. how to trigger a second wave of flowering.
I must say that the method is not suitable for teenage plants. They may not have the forces on a massive set buds until the end of summer. What torment plants? Let develops its course, increasing the roots.
You've probably noticed that adults rose bloom "waves". And the first is usually the most magnificent, because at the beginning of the summer a lot of sun and heat.
At the time of the second wave of falls reduction of daylight, and this year we, in the Northwest, and even "the rainy season". Therefore, to be honest, what to expect grandiose flowering surpassing beauty first, it is not necessary.
Task # 1: Enabling trimming
I'm sure that for the successful cultivation of ornamental plants in the country or area of the house gardener need to make friends with shears. I do not understand people who are "sorry" and "hand does not rise."
Especially because to stimulate flowering does not necessarily make a radical pruning in midsummer (though it will go to the benefit of the rose). It is not about giving the bush forms a delicate hint of the plant: "Let's potsvetem, eh?"
After flowering, the waves need to cut all wilted and already overblown roses on top of the first true leaf (cinquefoil). With a margin of about 0.5-1 cm. Due procedure wake lateral buds and blossoms go to the second round.
Objective # 2: Give the rose nutrition

You can spray the urea rose, but there is another great option - calcium nitrate. In it (as you can guess by the name) a lot of calcium, which further strengthens the plant.

- Tying encourage new buds. Here, too, the choice is obvious: phosphorus! How much phosphorus. One spraying with a solution of potassium monophosphate rose solve the puzzle.
