In what form is landing
Saplings are planted on the site at the age of 1-2 years. The younger the plants, the easier they will take root. They plant rose bushes grown independently or acquired in the garden center. Planting seeds by gardeners is practically not used because of the complexity.
What time
They plant a rose in the spring, after thawing the earth, or in the fall, 3-4 weeks before the onset of frost. The advantage of spring planting is that the bushes manage to take root before the frost. Autumn planting is good because there are buds on the plants, and the gardener can make sure that he acquires the Intuition hybrid.
Location selection
The territory for planting the rosary is selected well-lit by the sun, protected from the north winds. It is advisable that at noon a light shadow fall on the rose, otherwise the buds may fade from the scorching sunlight. Groundwater should not approach higher than 1 meter to the ground surface.

The site is freed from rubbish, dug up. Dig a hole and fill it with fertile soil 2 weeks before planting the bushes. The root system is soaked for 12 hours in water with the addition of any growth stimulant.

- dig a hole 60 × 60 centimeters in size;
- fill with fertile soil;
- In the middle they expose a seedling, straighten the roots;
- fall asleep 5 centimeters above the root neck.

After planting, the rose is abundantly watered
Plant care
Bushes for abundant flowering require care: watering, loosening the soil, removing weed grass, top dressing. To maintain a decorative look, flower shoots are cut with the beginning of wilting. If frosts below -30 ° C are expected, plantings for the winter are covered.
Watering rules and humidity
Rosa Intuition needs plenty of watering. Once a week, the bushes are shed with 10-15 liters of water. Between irrigation, the topsoil should dry. With timely precipitation, additional irrigation is not performed.
Note! A rose must not be watered with cold water from above, otherwise it may become infected with powdery mildew.
Top dressing and soil quality
Planting prefers to grow in loose, fertile soil. For abundant flowering, the rose is fertilized several times a season. In the spring, nitrogen is introduced, in the summer - complex mineral top dressing. After flowering, the bushes require potassium, which will help plants to overwinter safely.
Pruning and transplanting
Throughout the season, sanitary pruning is performed, removing diseased, broken, dried shoots. In the spring, before buds open, the stems are cut to form a bush. Pruning shoots after flowering contributes to the formation of more and more flower branches. If bushes need replanting, they produce it in spring or autumn. 1-2-year-old seedlings will transfer the procedure painlessly.
Features of wintering a flower
The variety is frost-resistant, so in the south it is grown without shelter. It is enough to make a plentiful moistening of the soil before wintering, then with the onset of frost to hush the bushes. In the north, in addition to water-charging irrigation and hilling roses, you can build a frame shelter.
Flowering roses
In the half-life stage, the shape of the buds is goblet. When the flower is fully revealed, its diameter reaches 10-12 centimeters. A pleasant fruity aroma comes from the buds. Inflorescences are similar to Pink Intuition flowers, which have the same longitudinal stripes, but are slightly lighter in color.
The buds are goblet
Period of activity and rest
Rose Red Intuition is characterized by long flowering. The first wave begins in April. After a short rest, the buds begin to bloom again. Flowering continues until the first frost.
Care during and after flowering
For abundant and prolonged flowering, roses require top dressing in the form of phosphorus, potassium, magnesium. When the inflorescences begin to dry out, they are cut off, since the seeds that begin to form take away a lot of energy from the plantations.
In addition, when pruning, sleeping buds begin to wake up, from which new shoots are formed. After flowering, potassium and phosphorus are introduced into the root circle, helping the rose recover and cope with winter frosts.
Important! Plantings are fertilized after watering the root circle with plain water.
What to do if it does not bloom, possible causes
Blooming roses may not occur for the following reasons:
- An excess of nitrogen in the soil. This element is needed only in the spring to build greenery.
- Incorrect pruning. If the shoots are cut too short, flowering is likely to occur only by the end of summer.
- Excess or lack of watering. Without moisture, it is difficult for a rose to grow buds. With excessive watering, the plant can not only not bloom, but also die.
- The presence of root shoots. If you do not remove unnecessary shoots growing from the roots, the plant will weaken, it does not have enough strength for flowering.
- The bush is over 3 years old. Old shoots woody, flower buds cease to form on them. To rejuvenate plants, thick stems are removed, new ones will begin to grow in their place.
Having corrected the reasons why the rose stopped flowering, the gardener will again enjoy the beautiful view of the decoratively flowering plantings.
After flowering, dry buds are removed
