Flower cultivation. How to plant in open ground
To care for a rose of this variety, special skills and experience are not needed. Even a novice gardener will cope with this task.
In what form is landing
The planting process consists in placing Morden Blush rose seedlings in soft, loose soil. The young bush quickly adapts to new conditions. Any land with a low level of acidity is suitable for planting.
What time is the landing
Blush seedlings grown in pots before planting in the ground tolerate planting well at any time of the year (during the growing season). However, with caution, this process should be carried out with the onset of cold weather. Keep in mind that plant roots need time to adapt.
Location selection
The most suitable habitat for this soil pet will be areas with sufficient and bright lighting. However, if it turns out that the roses are planted in a slightly darkened place, they will be able to quickly adapt to unusual conditions. But it is important to take care of air ventilation. For this reason, you should not choose the slopes when landing. In such places, plants often get sick.
How to prepare the soil and flower for planting
Before immersing the rose bush in a permanent habitat, it is recommended that the earth be enriched with fertile and nutrient rich soil.
Landing procedure step by step
Planting in the ground is recommended in mid-spring. If this process occurs in the autumn period, then you need to do this at the beginning of the season to give the rose the opportunity to fully take root in the soil. For direct landing in the ground, they make a recess up to sixty centimeters deep. The bottom of the pit is covered with fresh soil.
Additional Information! The plant is placed in the ground so that the root system plunges below the horizon line of the earth by three centimeters. The roots should be straightened a little and carefully covered with earth embankment. Hands need to lightly tamp the top layer of the earth so as not to damage the plant. If everything is done correctly, then the root neck of the bush after tamping will be below the ground.
Plant care
Beauty Morden Blush can not be called moody. Therefore, for lovers and connoisseurs, caring for the bush is more a pleasure than a problem. In the encyclopedias of roses, you can find several recommendations, the observance of which systematizes and simplifies care.
Watering rules and humidity
The Canadian plant is resistant and hardy in arid climates. But do not limit it to watering. For this, cool water is used, preferably settled. In the warm season, the frequency of watering will be two to three times a week. With the advent of cold weather watering ceases.
Top dressing and soil quality
Rose should be fed once a season - in early spring. Compounds containing potassium and phosphorus are well suited as fertilizers. Potassium strengthens plants, making them more resistant to various diseases. Also, this chemical element improves the aesthetic qualities of flowers. Phosphoric fertilizers contain minerals, ammonium phosphoric acid and calcium salts. The use of such top dressing increases winter hardiness in frosty and arid times. In addition, it accelerates flowering.
Pruning and transplanting
Pruning is crucial for a plant as a preventative measure. It is most correct to carry it out in the spring. Swollen kidneys signal that it is time to start removing old, diseased or not surviving frost branches. With the onset of autumn, the procedure can be repeated, and cut off the stems with damage or signs of disease. Bushes that have grown too densely are thinned out without fail.
Features of wintering a flower
Morden Blush flowers perfectly tolerate winter frosts, up to minus forty degrees. Freezing to the ground, they again grow in the new season and bloom.
To make the plant easier to tolerate the first winter of its life, moist soil with small clumps of earth and mixed in equal proportions with sand are piled to the base of the bush. In the future, such a precaution is not required. And rose bushes will endure the winters without additional shelter.
Flowering roses
Morden Blush has a rapid and abundant flowering. Terry flowers appear on the hands one after another. Initially, their color has a soft pink and peach hue. But, fading in the sun, they become deliciously creamy.

Period of activity and rest
After the fashionable Blush rose fades for the first time, it will take several weeks of peace and rest. During this period, you need to reduce the amount of watering. After a break, the plant blooms with renewed vigor and a large number of new terry buds.
Care during and after flowering
Rose bushes of this variety do not require special care during the flowering period. Timely watering and top dressing will provide everything you need for this process. It will also be useful to spray with cool water on especially hot summer days.
What to do if it does not bloom, possible causes
If a grown plant does not bloom, there may be several reasons for this:
- the appearance of buds can not wait in the first year of life of the rose bush. His powers can go into adapting to new conditions;
- unsuitable landing area, for example, a too dark area;
- damage during pruning - the germ cannot be cut too much. Easy shortening will be enough to form a bush or for sanitary purposes;
- mistakes in care - a rose can be damaged by forgetting about watering or, conversely, watering it too often;
- poisoning - with caution, it is necessary to use means to control pests and diseases.
Flower propagation
The creators of the Morden Blush variety have made it easier for gardeners to propagate the flower. It occurs by cuttings. And even a beginner in gardening can carry it out. For cutting cuttings, it is better to choose the middle of summer.
Flower propagation
Detailed description
Each selected shoot is cut in half (approximate length is twenty-five centimeters). The bottom of each seedling is cut obliquely. Only two top sheets are left on it. Two-thirds of the resulting shoot is placed in the ground for full enrichment with nutrient components. This contributes to good and fast growth.
Additional Information! Before placing the cuttings of roses in the ground, it is recommended to lower them into a container with a special composition that stimulates the formation of roots.
The endurance of the variety allows you to plant cuttings directly into the ground on a street plot. It is important to place the seedlings at a sufficient distance from each other. For shrubs of small stature, forty centimeters are required, for the average - up to sixty, and one hundred for tall bushes.
