Growing a flower, how to plant in open ground

There are two types of seedlings:

- Own. Such seedlings take root better and retain the properties of the plant.
Attention! It is better to choose seedlings at the age of one year with a closed and developed root system. On the bush should not be more than three shoots.
A healthy plant should be approximately 20 cm tall, with smooth bark and green buds. When buying in the spring, the kidneys should be in a sleeping state.
Landing can be done both in spring and autumn before frost. In both periods, the rose is quite capable of taking root normally. For planting in the fall, it is better to choose September or October, when there are no frosts so that the young plant does not freeze.
Sahara loves bright places that are well lit by the sun. It is recommended to choose elevated areas so that the groundwater level lies below the location of the root system. It is good to plant a rose near the southern walls - this will provide the bush with support and protect it from drafts.
How to prepare the soil and flower for planting
Before disembarking, the earth should be carefully dug up and all weeds and garbage removed. If necessary, manure, peat, fine sand, humus are added to the soil.
