From my own experience I convinced that good for roses APU-way to the shelter for the winter. Others no longer use
By the winter shelter roses I have only 2 requirements. To bushes in the cold days are not destroyed by frost and thaw during - not spreli.
It seems, nothing complicated: wandering on the floral sites on the Internet, you can easily find a dozen or so of various designs. From the banal hilling trimmed bush to create this "house".
Every year, I tried one thing after another, but sometimes the bushes did not leave the winter without loss. But still I found the only way which has not yet given misfires.
Someone does not harbor a rose at all, and advises others to do the same. This harmful recommendation. Error survivor in action. Firstly, in different areas of very different climatic conditions. Second, the survival rate for each class its own. Third, you never know: maybe this is the year the weather will be critical? I do not want to risk their flowers and closes all roses
The first thing I spend 2 binding procedure
1. I tore all the leaves twigs. Bushes look neater, as the rest of the garden as a whole (without dry panicles). Digging Deeper: The old foliage - a hotbed of fungi, bacteria and pests, so it has no place in the flowerbed. Simple hygiene. And empty shoots easier to cut.
2. I used to cut all the roses before hibernation. But pruning is not formed (it is spring!). A preparatory. Under the secateurs are nevyzrevshie shoots. They are easily recognizable by the reddish color. And all that is too long - just to make it easier to conceal.
Important note: do not rush into cutting. In warm weather, the effect will be the reverse. Begin to grow new shoots that it is not necessary before the winter. I climb into the rose garden only when the temperature does not rise above 5-7 ° C. In such a cold rose do not try to go into growth.
When the cover roses for winter
not to rush too need with shelter. Unsheeted rose easily withstand -5 or even more. I advise to wait until the temperature will stay stably in the region of 0. Plus or minus a few degrees.
The second and the most important thing. And the ground, the bushes themselves and should be dry. If yesterday was rain, I save the work in the garden until everything is dry. Close the on-wet - a big mistake, because of which the roses can start to rot.
My choice - MAT
MAT - air-dry shelter for carnations. The method that I trust to 99%, and I advise you to try every gardener.
- A little hill, sprinkle fallen leaves (not rose).
- Making the frame of the arcs: the two set out on a bush crosswise enough. If necessary, bend a little long branches.
- Lutrasil throws.
- Put on the perimeter of the bricks, fixing lutrasil. Two sides of the reserve veiled: they must be shut down when the minus (approximately -7 ° C) will be permanent. It is necessary for the ventilation to the inside cover was a dry atmosphere, allowing to save bushes.
In the spring, when the time comes, remove the cover. Until next fall. Put a "Thumbs up" to respond, if you love roses, and the article was helpful to you. Thanks! Also I recommend that you read: Unpretentious eustomy contender for the Garden: Flowers willingly and care easier
