- in the selected area, dig up the soil, if it is acidified, add compost, lime and rotted manure;
- make a hole no more than 50 cm deep - it should be twice the size of the roots of the seedling;
- a drainage layer is poured onto the bottom of the depression and the hole is filled to the middle with a mixture of garden soil, compost and peat;
- the seedling is cut off, leaving 20 cm of the underground part and 10 cm of shoots;
- The plant is immersed in the prepared hole and the roots are straightened, and then covered with the remains of the soil mixture.
When planting, the root collar is buried to 8 cm. The seedling is watered abundantly and the tree trunk is immediately sprinkled with sawdust for mulching.
When and what to fertilize
It is necessary to feed terry rose hips for the first time in the third year after planting. The crop accepts nitrogen fertilizers best. They are applied in an amount of about 100 g for each bush in spring and summer - at the beginning of the growing season, before flowering and at the end.After harvesting, terry rose hips can be fed with potassium and phosphorus - 150-170 g of minerals per plant.

- Dividing the bush. An adult plant at the age of 5-6 years can be dug up and divided into several parts along the rhizome in order to immediately plant it in separate holes.
- Offspring. Rose hips produce abundant root shoots. Strong shoots up to 40 cm in height can be separated with a shovel and planted in a separate hole.
