One simple procedure will protect roses from disease before winter. I'll tell you what I definitely do in the garden under the bush every fall

Flaming fireworks, fellow gardeners!

Do you want to see roses healthy and fragrant? Do one manipulation in front of the shelter for the winter. I will definitely repeat this every year and share the subtleties with you, my beloved readers.

The healthier the rose, the more beautiful it blooms. Otherwise, all forces are spent on the fight against insidious ailments. And can a rose with, for example, blackened leaves and stems, be a garden decoration? I doubt it. In the end, the plant, once beautiful, leaves the flower bed forever.

Therefore, fungal diseases of the rose cannot be ignored. If their symptoms were noticed on the bush, then I strongly recommend carrying out an autumn treatment before sheltering for the winter with special fungicides. I use the excellent, powerful Topaz product.

But for all roses - both sick and healthy - I consider the procedure with leaves to be mandatory. I tell you how to do everything right.

Rose leaves are a breeding ground for fungal diseases. Even if the bush was healthy in summer, during the cool and humid autumn, harmful fungi are likely to lurk in the crown.

Regardless of whether the rose is closed for the winter or simply spud, as far as it has been cut, there is one rule. The plant should not retire with the leaves. in a radius of 1-2 m.Therefore, every autumn I carry out the following procedure:

• It's good when I constantly live in the country. I work gradually, which makes it easier. Noticing that the lower leaves of the rose turn yellow, I immediately remove them. As a rule, there is still living foliage at the tops of the shoots. I'm not touching her yet - let everything go naturally! I pick off all the foliage as it withers.

• When I spend autumn in the city, I definitely visit the garden after the onset of cold weather. I carefully remove all the rose leaves that have not fallen off on their own, and collect them in piles lying on the ground. Yes, you have to spend a couple of hours under the bushes.
• All the leaves of the rose - both fallen and plucked - must be disposed of before winter. After all, they are fraught with fungal danger. I either burn them on the site, or collect them in plastic bags and take them to the garbage container.

Nothing complicated. But after such an autumn treatment (collection of leaves and fungicide, if necessary), I am sure that my roses will wake up healthy in the spring.
