In what form is landing
Ready-made seedlings are used. Hybrid tea roses are not very readily propagated by seeds and cuttings. Still, these methods are used.
What time to plant
Seedlings are usually placed on the site in the spring. The bush will have time to settle down in the place chosen for it, and also safely go to the rest period. You need to make sure that the frost is over. The procedure can be performed in the fall, from late October to early October. The bush should take root before frost.
Location selection
The site is chosen to be lit to the maximum, because the variety loves the sun. Fencing is required against drafts, wind. Florists note that this rose feels good in greenhouses, where it is grown for bouquets.
How to prepare the soil and flower for planting
The soil should be with an acidity of 5.6 to 7.3. To increase the rate, add manure or peat. To reduce it, you need to make ash or lime. Clay soil requires the addition of sand, humus and peat. Good permeability and drainage are necessary so that the fluid does not stagnate in the root system, otherwise the plant may die. Also pay attention to how groundwater occurs. If not lower than 1 m, the rose is threatened with black spotting.
Landing procedure step by step
Placing roses on the site occurs in the following stages:
- Dig a hole 50 cm deep.
- At the bottom there is a 10 cm drainage: stone, gravel.
- They bring in organic fertilizers and garden soil.
Important! Rose seedlings are kept in water for 3 or 5 hours. The roots are treated with growth stimulants, which will increase stamina. Set seedlings in a pit, straighten the root system, fill it with soil and water it.
Plant care
The bush needs regular moistening of the soil, loosening, weeding. You also need to make fertilizers and protect from pests. Trimming, mulching required.
Watering rules and humidity
Moisten the soil under the bush should be sufficient. Before watering, the ground must dry to prevent moisture stagnation. Abundance and regularity when watering are important. Drying of the soil should not be allowed, especially during heat. Each bush requires 20 liters of water. Take into account the weather, the minimum frequency is 2 times per week. Watering roses stop in the fall.
Attention! Water should not be cold, it must be defended, otherwise the roots will be stressed.
Top dressing and soil quality
The soil must be loose, permeable to water and air, as well as nutritious, for which it is fertilized. The plant responds very well to dressing. A combination of organic and mineral fertilizers improves flowering. In the spring, the bush is given nitrogen, in the summer - potassium and phosphorus. Biohumus, humus at any time are used as organics.
Pruning and transplanting
Rose bushes are not easy to prune. But the plant must receive an incentive for intensive development. In this case, the form becomes decorative. By removing dried and old stems, the gardener directs nutrients to young branches. Due to oxygenation, immunity improves.
If transplantation is necessary, the plant quickly adapts to another location due to its regenerative ability. Therefore, you can transfer the flower if the previous location was accompanied by diseases, poor development.
Wintering Features

Flower propagation
Use cuttings, getting them from young but strong shoots. Hybrid tea rose seeds hardly germinate under normal conditions.
Cuttings are selected for propagation at the end of the first flowering wave, as well as when pruning. The stalks should be strong. It should be planted immediately in the ground or container, but survival will be worse.
Important! The stems of the rose are cut, treated with stimulants for growth. Then planted in pots or shelter. In the spring, a seedling will be obtained, which is ready for planting at a constant place of growth.
