Canadian Rose Care
Any gardener will be able to breed and properly maintain such plants without difficulty, but first you should familiarize yourself with the main recommendations.
The best time for planting is autumn. In a sunny, ventilated area (partial shade is permissible) of the earth, it is necessary to dig a recess of about 70 cm, then fill it with porous fertile soil. When planting seedlings nearby, observe a distance of 1 m between them. After this, care is needed: timely watering and mulching.
In regions with severe weather conditions, young plants require shelter for the winter. Before this, the shoots should be cut off, since frost can ruin them, and the plant as a whole will weaken. In climbing and branching bushes, they should be pressed to the ground. In autumn, in harsh areas of Canada should be fertilized with compost, peat or ash. In winter, it is advisable to throw snow under the bush.
The method of sheltering seedlings in the winter period depends on the geography of growing:
| Region | Measures |
| The middle strip of Russia | Hilling soil 15-20 cm. |
| Ural and Trans-Urals | The first year is covered with non-woven material, then this is not necessary. |
| Siberia | Before the onset of severe frosts, a coating is not required, in a snowless period, non-woven material is used. |
In the spring, once every 2 years, it is necessary to carry out preventive measures: cut off weakened and dry shoots. To stimulate the flowering of roses, it is recommended to use nitrogen fertilizers (urea). Topping up bushes with phosphorus (30 g superphosphate) and potassium (20 g kalimagnesii) can be carried out in the middle of the third season. Culture rarely suffers from fungal diseases.
In the summer period - in dry times, it is necessary to moisten the plant and fertilize it moderately.
Roses without any problems coexist with any other plants. Seedlings quickly take root.
