How to keep my roses alive
Roses, known as the “king of flowers,” have won the love of countless people for their colorful flowers and unique fragrance. However, it is not easy to make these beautiful flowers bloom for a long time. They require our careful care and scientific management to exhibit their optimal growth state.

Firstly, selecting the variety of roses is crucial. The climate, soil and other conditions vary in different regions, so we need to choose suitable rose varieties based on the specific situation of the local area. Only varieties that adapt to the environment can grow more vigorously and have stronger resistance to diseases and pests.
Sunshine is an indispensable factor in the growth of roses. They need at least 6 hours of sunlight per day to fully engage in photosynthesis and accumulate nutrients. However, in summer, strong sunlight may damage the leaves of roses. Therefore, we need to build shading nets or move them to semi shaded areas when the sunlight is too strong to avoid direct sunlight.
Water management is equally crucial. Roses like moist environments, but it doesn’t mean they need to be overwatered. Excessive moisture can cause root hypoxia, leading to decay. In dry seasons or hot weather, we need to regularly check the soil moisture to ensure that the roses receive an appropriate amount of water. During the rainy season, attention should be paid to drainage to avoid water accumulation.

Fertilization is also an important measure to maintain the healthy growth of roses. Regular fertilization can supplement nutrients in the soil and meet the growth needs of roses. When fertilizing, we should choose organic fertilizer or specialized rose fertilizer and follow the instructions. Excessive fertilization can also cause harm to roses, so it is important to control the amount of fertilizer applied.
In addition to daily maintenance, regular pruning is also essential. Pruning can help roses maintain their beauty, promote new growth, and form flower buds. After the end of winter, we should promptly cut off dead, intersecting, and damaged branches to lay a foundation for new growth. Before the start of spring, moderate pruning can also stimulate roses to bloom better.
However, roses are not flawless. They are also susceptible to invasion by diseases and pests. Black spot disease, powdery mildew, aphids, and other common rose diseases and pests. Therefore, we need to regularly inspect the plants and take timely prevention and control measures once diseases and pests are found. Biological control methods or spraying insecticides can be used, but attention should be paid to medication safety to avoid unnecessary harm to roses.
For tall rose varieties, support and fixation are also necessary. Using tools such as bamboo poles and flower racks to support plants can effectively prevent lodging or breakage. At the same time, using straps or thin threads to fix the branches on the support can also better showcase the beautiful posture of the rose.

In the cold winter, the protection of roses is equally important. For varieties that are not cold resistant, we can adopt methods such as covering the soil, using grass curtains or agricultural non-woven fabrics to cover the plants, providing a warm environment for roses and helping them overcome the cold winter.
Finally, we need to regularly observe the growth of roses and make appropriate adjustments as needed. If leaf yellowing, flower withering or other abnormal situations are found, the cause should be identified in a timely manner and corresponding measures should be taken. Only in this way can roses maintain healthy and beautiful growth.
In short, raising roses is not easy to wither and requires us to put in efforts in multiple aspects. From selecting suitable varieties, providing sufficient sunlight and water, regular fertilization and pruning, to preventing and controlling pests and diseases, supporting and fixing plants, and winter protection, all aspects need to be done well. Only in this way can roses bloom the most beautiful flowers under our careful care.
