Summary:Dear flower enthusiasts, summer is here, and it's the beautiful season for roses to bloom! Today, let's share some tips on selecting and caring for roses in the summer.
Summer Guide for Selecting and Caring for Roses
Summer Care Tips for Roses:
-
Protection: Especially for potted roses, make sure to provide sun protection during the summer. You can place the pot inside another pot or use insulating materials to shield it from the sun. Without this, the intense heat can damage the delicate roots inside the pot.
-
Watering: Roses need plenty of water in the summer. Check daily to ensure they are not lacking water. If one watering per day is not sufficient, consider repotting into a larger pot to meet their needs.
-
Pest and Disease Prevention: Summer is a peak time for black spot disease and spider mites. Regularly spray your roses with preventative treatments. It's much easier to prevent these problems than to treat them once they occur.
Buying Rose Seedlings in Summer:
It's not recommended to buy rose seedlings in the summer, especially online. The seedlings can suffer during the two or three days they spend in a hot delivery truck. When they arrive, they may be in poor condition, and it's unfair to both you and the seller to handle after-sales issues under these conditions. Additionally, taking care of new seedlings in the summer can be exhausting, and they may not survive until autumn. It's better to wait for cooler temperatures in September to buy and plant roses, ensuring they thrive and bloom beautifully in the fall.
