How fast do roses grow

During the summer, rose growth always slows down or stops completely. This is a natural phenomenon during rose growth. In summer, roses are in a dormant state to protect themselves. During this period, we must ensure sufficient water when managing them and not use too much fertilizer. With careful care, roses will grow and bloom again in the crisp autumn season.
Careful flower lovers must have noticed that their roses always grow vigorously in spring and autumn, but grow slowly or even stop growing in summer and drier spring. Some florists are worried about their roses, and even seek medical treatment in a hurry. In a hurry, they apply a lot of fertilizer to the roses or water a lot of water. These practices cause the growth of the roses to decline day by day, forming a vicious cycle. So, what should you do if this happens?

Why do roses grow slower at certain times?

In fact, this is a normal phenomenon. Because the growth of roses requires a suitable temperature and light environment. In spring and autumn, the average daily temperature is suitable and the light is sufficient, which is suitable for the growth of roses. Therefore, roses tend to grow luxuriantly in spring and autumn, and the flowers are in pleasing shape. In summer, due to the higher temperature, which is not conducive to the growth and development of roses, roses will form A self-protection mechanism that goes dormant in summer. In some areas, when the summer temperature is low or the summer is short, roses will not stop growing, but will show a downward trend in growth rate; in spring, if the climate is dry and the wind is strong, it will affect the roses’ demand for water, resulting in The growth rate of roses decreases. It is for this reason that florists are not comparable when it comes to caring for roses. Therefore, when the growth rate of roses decreases, there is no need to worry, and there is no need to seek medical treatment urgently. Consulting netizens sometimes also ask for help due to geographical differences. Different and unable to solve the problem, making mistakes in maintenance.

What is the reason for the slow growth rate of roses?

Roses belong to the phylum Angiosperms and the class Dicotyledons. They like full sunlight and are more cold and drought tolerant than other flowers. Roses in most areas will go dormant or semi-dormant for a short period of time during periods of extreme heat, and then continue to grow. Since roses love sunshine, they require sufficient moisture in the air during flowering season. Rose seeds can continue to grow after experiencing severe cold and heat. They do not even have high requirements for soil pH and can survive in both acidic and alkaline soils. However, because roses like sunshine and humidity, most roses cannot withstand the dry and windy climate in spring. The flowering period of roses is from the end of April to early June, after which the young branches will bloom one after another, and the leaves will gradually fall around September and November. It will not bloom very quickly when it is first unearthed, but will only begin to form flower buds after it has grown to a certain stage. Flowering will occur earlier where the air is more humid.
Roses have a long flowering period and are very suitable for daily cultivation and appreciation. Moreover, most roses have two flourishing flowering periods. Generally speaking, roses are one of the dicotyledonous plants with stronger flowering ability. Compared with other flower species, roses have a shorter maturation time and a faster maturation speed. After three seasons of growth, the leaves basically fall off in winter, but it can still grow slowly. And it is easy to survive. It can withstand temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees when it snows in winter. Even if it does not snow, it can still withstand temperatures as low as minus 30 degrees. It is not easily affected by the weather and causes a large number of deaths. This is the rough growth process of roses. It can be seen that roses mature relatively quickly, and florists do not have to worry when cultivating roses. As long as they are fertilized and watered normally, roses will gradually germinate in spring and summer.

How to care for roses and increase their growth rate?

Make sure there is enough sunlight

Roses are masculine plants. The more sunlight there is, the more intense the color of the flowers will be, the more fragrant the smell will be, and the higher the ornamental value will be. And when the rose is in the growing season, if the sunshine duration is less than eight hours, it will enter a special situation where it will only grow but not bloom. Therefore, maintaining sufficient sunlight is essential for the growth of roses. Except when the temperature is too high in summer, roses can occasionally be placed in a cool place and allowed to grow. In spring, autumn and winter, roses should be placed in a sunny place as much as possible to ensure the illumination rate of roses and prevent roses from growing during the growth period. The sunshine duration is insufficient, resulting in no flowering. However, it is important to note that although roses love sunlight, they also need moderation. It is recommended to plant roses far away from the wall to prevent damage to the roses due to sunlight reflection, which will affect flowering. If you have special requirements for the color of roses, you can also use different sunlight lamps to imitate sunlight, expose the roses to sunlight lamps, and cultivate them for a long time to meet the needs of different florists.

Water appropriately and abundantly to prevent roses from being exposed to drought conditions

As mentioned above, roses like sun and moisture. So moderate watering is very necessary. Especially during drought in spring, roses will stop growing or grow slowly due to drought. At this time, moderate watering will protect the roses. Water is transported from the roots to the stems and leaves, which will help reduce the damage of drought to the roses. However, watering needs to be moderate. If the temperature is low and watering is too frequent, resulting in low temperature and high humidity, roses are prone to rust and powdery mildew, which will reduce the survival rate and cause damage to the roses.

Ye Xin refuses to water

When watering in spring and summer, be sure not to pour water into the leaves of the flowers! Flower lovers who plant a variety of flowers at the same time should know that not only roses, but most flower species need to pay attention to this. This is because newly unearthed new seedlings are relatively fragile, have low self-protection capabilities, are relatively close to the soil where they grow and develop, and their leaves have not yet fully grown. If water is poured into the middle of the leaves at this time, it will easily cause the leaves to rot and the flowers to die. Such a plant will never survive again.
For this reason, the maintenance advice for roses is to be careful when watering, try to water manually, start from the edge of the pot, and once the water reaches the center of the leaves, it must be handled in time to prevent the leaves from being damaged due to improper watering. rot. If there is a heavy rain, try to reduce the damage to the roses by rainwater, and try to place the roses in a ventilated place to allow unnecessary water to dissipate and evaporate as soon as possible to prevent rot and reduce the survival rate of the roses.

Be careful when fertilizing

If during dry spring and hot summer, roses enter a dormant or semi-dormant period in which growth is relatively slow, fertilization must be done with caution. Because when the rose is in a dormant or semi-dormant state, the root burden of the flower itself is relatively heavy. If too much fertilizer is applied, it will cause the flower’s resistance to decrease to a certain extent. Due to the high external concentration, the internal and external osmotic pressure will be different. , the fertilizer applied will also become a factor that accelerates the death of flowers. Therefore, you must be careful when fertilizing. During the dormant and semi-dormant periods of roses, try not to fertilize, or reduce the frequency of fertilization and the concentration of fertilizer to ensure the survival rate of roses. If you want to speed up the growth of roses and shorten the maturity speed of roses, you can fertilize in autumn or spring when the weather is suitable. When fertilizing, you should try to take into account the habits of roses and your own unique climate conditions. Choose appropriate fertilizers and carefully mix them. , adjust the frequency and concentration of fertilization to achieve the best results. Of course, many experienced florists have already studied fertilization. They can also customize a fertilization plan for their own roses based on the conditions of their own roses, in order to achieve more dense and beautiful rose blooms.

Summarize

Roses have good growth habits and are relatively simple to care for. Despite this, when raising roses, you still need to pay more attention and carry out reasonable and personalized breeding while ensuring the healthy growth of roses. In addition, slow growth in dry spring and hot summer is a self-protection mechanism of roses, and flower lovers do not need to take drastic measures for this. In autumn, when the sky is clear and the air is crisp, it is the day when the roses bloom brilliantly. I wish every rose lover can harvest their own prosperous sea of flowers!
