The bush is medium, up to 100 cm, spreading. The leaves are dark green and shiny.
Landing
To plant bushes, it is advisable to choose a bright place protected from cold winds.Desiree roses are undemanding when it comes to soil, but bloom best in nutrient-rich, loose soil.
Before planting bushes, prepare a planting hole in advance. The depth of the hole should be about 60 - 70 cm, width - 50 cm. If several bushes are planted, the distance between them should be at least a meter. It is necessary to lay a drainage layer of at least 15 cm at the bottom of the hole.
The excavated soil is mixed with humus, sand, a complex of microelements, wood ash and nitrogen fertilizers. It is important to mix the resulting mixture well so as not to burn the roots of the bushes.
The bushes are covered with the resulting mixture and poured generously with warm water. The soil around the bushes can be covered with black film or other mulching material.
Care
Rose “Desiree” does not require complex care, she has good immunity, and she very rarely gets sick. In the northern regions, this variety requires shelter for the winter.
Caring for bushes is as follows:
- Watering;
- Weeding;
- Loosening the soil;
- Trimming;
- Protection from diseases and pests.
Watering the bushes is carried out if necessary; excess moisture can harm the root system. The top layer of soil should dry out between waterings.
Pruning is carried out for the first time in the spring, before the bushes awaken. Remove dried, weak branches growing inside the bush. The second time pruning is carried out after green branches appear. It is advisable to do it as early as possible so that the bush does not waste energy. It is necessary to remove shoots that grow inside the bush, lower branches to a height of up to 20 cm, and one of the competing shoots.
Sometimes several buds may form on the stem of the Desiree rose; if the flower is intended for cutting, the excess buds are removed.
Properly planted rose bushes require very little care to delight with their beauty for a long time.
