Transplanting roses to another place in the summer is well known to many gardeners. Although it is better to renew the flower garden in the fall or spring, this often takes place after school hours. A gardener should know about the features of replanting roses in the summer, about its disadvantages and advantages.
It is best to plant seedlings in spring or winter
Is it possible to replant roses in summer?
Rose is an unpretentious plant and tolerates transplantation well. The operation can be performed at any warm time of the year. However, it is better to replant the rose in the spring, around April, or in the fall, in September-October. These are the most suitable periods. If necessary, roses can be replanted in the summer. Each of these terms has its own characteristics and you need to know them.
Sometimes you have to replant flowers in the summer
Why is a transplant needed?
Roses cannot grow in one area for more than 10 years.The soil in this place, as well as inside the root ball, becomes completely depleted over time. Even the most abundant external feeding cannot correct the situation. Therefore, the only way out is to completely change the soil where the roses grow or transplant them to another area. Gardeners have long noticed that if young specimens are planted in the same soil where roses had already grown until recently, they will not take root.

Disadvantages of replanting bushes in summer
In summer you can also plant roses, but for this it is better to use container crops. Their root system remains intact and intact. They can be planted at any time, including in the summer. When moving a bush from one place to another, the buds must be cut off before transplanting. This is the main disadvantage of summer redevelopment of the flower garden.
If a rose bush is transplanted from one place to another, be sure to shade it. Roots damaged during transplantation will not be able to immediately take root and fully provide the plant with sufficient moisture on hot days. Therefore, the green leaves of a flower, as a rule, quickly fade, and its decorative properties decrease.
At any time of the year it is important to replant the flower correctly
How to transplant roses to another place in the summer
In summer, roses are replanted in the same way as in other periods of the year. The algorithm of actions is approximately the same. The best option is if the growth conditions in the new location are identical to the previous ones.
Selection and preparation of site and soil
The place should be chosen in light partial shade or created artificially. Newly planted roses do not like heat or drought and can easily die if suitable conditions are not created for them.For transplanting, it is better to choose a cloudy day so that the sun is not too hot, or do it in the late afternoon. Roses prefer loamy soil, although they can be grown on any soil, with the exception of saline and marshy soil.
Before you start planting roses, you need to find out what type of soil you have. An experienced gardener can do this by touch. Then add the missing elements to the soil and get the ideal substrate for roses. The soil should preferably be slightly acidic. If its composition is alkaline, add peat, which will acidify and improve the soil structure. An acidic environment needs to be alkalized with lime - 100 g per bucket of wet peat.
The soil around the seedling needs to be compacted
Seedling preparation
The most important thing is to carefully dig up the rose from its old place. You must try not to damage the roots and the earthen ball. But if this happens, it is not critical. After 2-3 weeks, the roses will completely restore their root system. You should start by digging around the rose bush in a circle, without getting too close to it. After this, you can carefully pry it up with a shovel. The taproot of a bush can be very long and its integrity must be violated. It's not scary. The rose also has lateral shoots that will develop quite well.
Planting a plant with a closed root system
Transplanting a rose to another place in the summer
The planting hole should be larger than the rose's root system. The plant does not like stagnant moisture.If groundwater rises high, provide good drainage. Prepare a fertile mixture: sand, peat and turf soil in approximately equal quantities. Fill the bottom of the hole, forming a kind of mound.
Plant the seedling so that the root collar is level with the ground. But there are roses that have been grafted. In this case, the bush needs to be planted more deeply and covered with more soil. It is better to trim all flowers and buds on the bush. It is necessary to give the plant the opportunity to spend energy not on the formation of ovaries or flowering, but on the formation of a good, powerful root system.
Then take the seedling and place it on the top of the mound, straightening the roots so that they do not bend upward. Fill the space with good fertile and loose soil. Compact the soil a little so that it surrounds the root system. Form a kind of hole for watering: near the root collar there is a mound, and a little further along the circumference there is a depression where water will accumulate.
After planting, water generously, sparing no water. This is necessary so that the soil fits tightly around the roots on all sides and air pockets do not form around the seedling. After the water has been absorbed, sprinkle the top of the hole with soil. Then it is advisable to mulch:
- straw;
- wood chips;
- peat;
- expanded clay (specially baked clay).
The moisture retention under a layer of mulch is much higher. This is very important during dry periods of the year.

Aftercare
After transplantation, proper care is crucial. For several weeks, the plant should be slightly protected from the sun, for example, by building a gauze frame or something like that on the side.If, when planting, the holes were filled with fertile substrate, then no fertilizing is required in the near future. It is necessary to carry out regularly:
- clearing the land of weeds;
- loosening the earth;
- sufficient, but not excessive watering;
- mulching;
- sanitary pruning;
- Preventive spraying against pests (aphids).
If the seedling is quite tall, so that it does not get blown over by the wind, it is advisable to tie it up. Stick a peg next to it and secure it with special clamps and ropes. There must be a gap between the post and the plant. Roses love an abundance of light and can grow in partial shade, but they will not bloom lushly. Flowers are also very afraid of drafts and strong winds. Therefore, the garden area should be well ventilated, but at the same time be securely fenced.
The top of the flower must be removed during transplantation.
How to replant roses during flowering
When transplanting roses during flowering, you have to sacrifice all their beauty. Be sure to remove all newly formed or blossoming buds. This is necessary in order to save energy for the plant to take root in a new place. You should also remove all weak, non-viable shoots, and shorten healthy ones. Remove the root system from the soil with the utmost care, trying not to damage it.
Transplantation with cuttings is carried out as follows:
- cut the stalk, remove the lower leaves, leaving two buds;
- remove everything unnecessary from above, including the flower or bud itself;
- dig a planting hole;
- stick the seedling into the soil at the bottom of the hole;
- pour water;
- sprinkle, compact with earth;
- cover with a plastic bottle without a bottom;
- fall asleep;
- Compact the soil around the jar to prevent air from entering.
If the days are hot, the cap on the bottle needs to be opened to let air in.On cold days, on the contrary, seal it.
In the retail chain you can purchase roses for planting in bloom. When purchasing them, it is important to make sure that the plants grew in a pot and did not fall into it from a flower bed for sale. It is necessary to carefully inspect the bottom of the container. If white young roots peek out from the drainage holes, then you can buy such a seedling - it was grown in a pot. If there are old thick roots, it is necessary to conclude that the rose was dug out of the garden bed and put up for sale with the shoots cut off.
Conclusion
Transplanting roses to another place in the summer is not the most difficult task. The process will go well, provided that all the rules for planting and further care are followed.
