Many people dream of decorating their balcony with beautiful roses. But the whole problem is that very often, when trying to fulfill this pink dream, many are disappointed due to the lack of knowledge about caring for these indoor flowers. What do you need to know about growing rose bushes at home? The article describes the basic rules for caring for a rose in a pot.
You need to know some subtleties that will help you choose the right roses for your home.
Roses are truly magical flowers that can instantly charm you with their aroma and make you fall in love. These flowers are actively used not only for garden plots, but also in the decor of a house or apartment.
From all the variety of roses for indoor growing you should choose low-growing species (15-25 cm). The small stature look is ideal for the home - it will look original and miniature. True, sometimes adult plants grow up to 40-45 cm. Flowers are 1.5-2 cm in diameter, densely double, collected in inflorescences, rarely solitary.
Chinese rose (Rosa chinensis) is the smallest variety of indoor roses (15 cm), with very miniature flowers, about 2 cm in diameter, both with and without scent, red-burgundy, yellow-orange, even silvery shades.
Polyanthas (Rosa polyanta) with a pleasant aroma, pink-red, sometimes white, not capricious, feel great in pots. Strongly branching bushes, on average about 50 cm tall.
(“Miniature” is an ideal polyanthus rose with double flowers of white or Pink colour; "Orange Triumph" with bright red flowers, "Clotilde Super" - pale pink fragrant roses...)
Stores sell ready-made sprouted bushes, so the task is reduced to a minimum - you need to choose the healthiest and outwardly intact bush, and, preferably, with closed buds.
They have quite a lot of varieties, you can choose roses different colors And different shapes buds.
Without exception, all roses love sunlight and die in the shade; sun rays are vital for them. Therefore, after purchasing, you need to put the rose in the brightest place.
But everything should be in moderation. IN hot weather The bush should not be left in the sun. During this period, its rays are especially dangerous and the plant can not only receive physical damage, but also get sick. The flower should be protected with an umbrella, screen, blinds, or simply moved to another place.
Like many plants, roses do not like drafts and wind. If the rose is grown and grown outdoors, then you should play it safe and tie up the bush or provide supports for it. This is done so that the fragile branches of the flower do not break under strong winds.
You need to water the rose abundantly, but with a sense of proportion, without creating a puddle in the soil and without leaving the flower in a humid environment for a long time - this is detrimental to it. In summer you need to water the flower more often, in winter - less often, and be sure to warm water. The roots of the flower do not like cold water; as a result of such watering, the rose can get sick.
Dried shoots, dry leaves or signs of disease in any part of the bush must be immediately neutralized - boldly cut off the lesions. This has a beneficial effect on the bush and prevents the disease from spreading. As it grows, the bush should be trimmed periodically.
Feeding is a very important component in rose care. In order to see the lush color of the bush, you need to constantly feed it from February to October. There are a lot of special fertilizers for roses. Most convenient option– soluble mixtures. They last for quite a long time and are cheap.
After two hours from watering the rose, it is necessary to loosen the soil. This is done for two reasons: the first is that it allows the roots of the plant to breathe, the second is that it prevents the formation of a film that prevents water from reaching the roots.
On winter period The rose must be brought into a warm place if it was previously located outside (on the balcony, for example). You need to place the flower in a bright, maximally sunny place. If there is a window sill with solar lamps, then that’s great.
In winter, the rose begins to shed its leaves - this is how it prepares for rest. There is no need to feed or otherwise stimulate the growth of the plant. During this period, you need to trim it, leaving a few green leaves, and place it in a warm, sunny place. In the spring it will again sprout branches and leaves and bloom in lush colors.
Easily propagated by cuttings in spring summer period, already on the 4-5th day the cuttings in water begin to sprout roots. Tolerates winter well in a home climate.
These simple rules for caring for roses will give excellent results - an indoor flower will bloom intensively throughout the year and delight all household members.

The rose is placed in a new pot along with an old lump of earth, firmly fixed and watered with warm water. It is recommended to treat the newly transplanted plant with a drug to enhance immunity - this is optimal.
The room should maintain a certain temperature regime(+18 °С…+25 °С), and in warm time year, it is recommended to take the rose out into the fresh air - onto the balcony or into the garden, this will help it develop fully. In the room where the rose lives, regular ventilation should be carried out, but the formation of drafts should be avoided.

Don't forget to spray the rose. If the above resuscitation methods do not help, the rose must be removed from the pot and its roots examined - if they are damaged, the flower may die. In this case, it is optimal to cut several cuttings from the bush for further propagation of the rose, since it will restore the dead root system it won't work.

Nowadays you can find miniature roses in any flower shop. different varieties, excellent for growing at home. Outwardly, they are very similar to ordinary garden ones, only smaller in size - compact bushes reach only 35 cm in height. The miniature beauty in the pot looks unusually elegant: against the background of small, neat dark green leaves, lovely flowers with a diameter of one and a half to four centimeters, painted in different tones and spreading a wonderful fragrance, stand out in contrasting spots.
Of the miniature roses, the following varieties grow especially well at home: Judy Fischer with pink double flowers, copper-pink New Penny, carmine Angela Rippon, Baby Darling with an orange-pink hue, fragrant pale yellow flowers Yellow Doll, crimson Starina with an intense aroma and silvery pink variety of Cinderella.
Homemade roses
One of the advantages of the miniature species is that it propagates well by cuttings, and you can easily grow several new plants from one purchased bush.
In addition to miniature roses for growing at home, you can choose low varieties of other varieties:
If you want to move low varieties growing in your flower garden into your apartment, choose those plants that were obtained from cuttings with their own roots, and not grafted onto rose hips. Otherwise, you are unlikely to be able to preserve the roses you grew yourself - caring for them indoors will not bring results.
Indoor roses
Flower shops mainly sell miniature species brought from abroad, which means that the plants are weakened by various regulators and growth stimulants. Having delivered such a rose home, you will need to take care of transplanting it into a larger pot with fresh soil.
If the flower is young, the first buds will have to be removed, no matter how sorry you may be for them. But by sacrificing a few small buds, you will receive abundantly in return flowering bush. The first bud that appears should not only be removed, but the stem should be pinched above a well-developed bud, from which two shoots will then appear at once. On them you will need to do the same procedure with pinching the stems. And with the appearance of shoots of the third order, you can safely allow your home rose to bloom!
Flowering, well-developed plants are often treated with drugs that slow down the development of new buds. However, as soon as the drug stops working, the buds actively begin to grow, and the bush can quickly acquire irregular shape and unkempt appearance. This usually happens closer to spring, so you first need to have time to carry out formative pruning of the bush, and your home beauty will remain compact.
Blooming, well-developed miniature roses are often treated with drugs that slow down the development of new buds
As for transplantation, you should not carry it out on the same day that you purchased the rose. Let the plant get used to the new conditions a little. To do this, place the flower pot on a south-east or east window and water as needed for several days.
The transplant is carried out as follows:
Transplanting a domestic rose
Within a day it will be possible to move the transplanted rose to its permanent place and water it at the root with settled water as the soil dries out. Starting next month, start feeding by watering the plant once every two weeks with a solution of mineral fertilizer or spraying the leaves.
No matter how capricious an indoor rose may be, caring for it will not require much effort if you take care of creating suitable conditions. First of all, this concerns light mode and air humidity. Dry air is contraindicated for flowers, so it is especially important to spray it regularly during the heating season. And in the summer, it is advisable to move the roses to the balcony, to the terrace, to the street, or at least to open the windows, so that due to the stuffiness in the rooms, the inhabitants of the pots do not stop their flowering. Like garden species, indoor ones require a lot of light, but you should not keep it constantly on the south window, otherwise the flowers will quickly open and immediately fall off.

How to care for a home rose at different times of the year? In the summer, you will need to water the flower abundantly, not allowing the earthen ball to dry out, and also make sure that the plant does not overheat and get sick. Trim faded flowers with pruning shears. In autumn, indoor flowers can be moved from the balcony to southern windows and the frequency of watering can be reduced. At the end of flowering, the roses are transferred to larger pots.
For the winter, it is advisable to move the plants to a cooler room (with a temperature of +15), if available, and if not, then at least move them away from heating and electrical appliances. Preparing home roses for wintering involves pruning the branches (no more than five buds are left on each), which can be used for later. Water the flower once a week in winter, and with the arrival of spring and the opening of the first leaves, watering is increased and fed with a solution of bird droppings or mullein.
Exquisite and bright, a miniature decorative rose will decorate any interior. It belongs to the Rose family (Rosaceae) and when grown indoors it is a small neat bush from 35 to 45 cm. Proper care will give beautiful flowering from spring to autumn. Today there are several hundred varieties of indoor roses. Some varieties exude a delicate aroma, while others have no smell at all.
This is a temperate climate plant, so it does not require special conditions for cultivation. Caring for it is not very difficult, but during the flowering period it will require attention. And, of course, he will thank you with luxurious flowers.
The indoor rose blooms in spring and summer, at which time it needs light and good watering. For abundant flowering, it definitely requires a period of rest, which is best organized in winter.
This indoor plant tolerates low temperatures well, but is demanding on air and soil humidity. She is very photophilous, but direct sunlight can harm her. Rose loves to “swim”, so you should follow the water procedures. She needs fresh air all year round.
Important! After purchasing, do not rush to replant it. It’s better to do this in two weeks, then she will better adapt to the new conditions.
Planting an indoor rose is not a troublesome task. It is important to know that the root system of the plant is very delicate, so it is better to replant by transshipment. Before planting a rose, you need to prepare a pot. The new pot needs to be soaked - pour water and leave for a day. The pot from under the old plant must be thoroughly cleaned with a brush without using detergents. If the pot has a drainage hole, then the expanded clay layer can be no more than 1 cm; if not, then 3 cm.
Planting indoor roses is done by cuttings.
The most the right time for planting indoor roses from May to September.
A rose in a pot requires nutritious, breathable soil. It is best to use ready-made soil, purchased in a store. The optimal soil composition for the plant is turf and humus soil, sand in proportions of 4:4:1, respectively. It is not recommended to loosen the soil due to the risk of damaging the roots. Rose prefers neutral soil.
There are some care features that are specific to this houseplant.
Rose needs fresh air, so the ideal placement for her is a balcony or garden bed in the summer (you can take her with you to the dacha if you spend the whole summer there). However, it is not recommended to leave it unattended because it requires frequent watering in the summer during the flowering period.
At home, it is best to place the rose on the southeast or south side, because it loves a lot of light. In autumn, when daylight hours are short, she needs to turn on additional lighting from a lamp daylight. This is done to extend the flowering period.
In winter, during the dormant period, a comfortable temperature for a rose is +10 - +12 degrees. If it is possible to place her on a glassed-in loggia or balcony, she will have a good rest. Room temperature in winter is not very suitable for it. If it is not possible to keep the flower at a low temperature, you should protect it as much as possible from the heat of radiators and dry air.
It is advisable to turn the pot with a miniature indoor rose from time to time in different directions to the light.
Important! If the rose overwinters on a glassed-in loggia, to prevent the soil from freezing, the pot with the plant can be placed in a box and sawdust sprinkled around it.
Indoor mini roses need high humidity air. When they are outdoors (on the balcony or in the garden), no additional moisture is required. In winter, if the rose is in the room, it is better to keep the pot with it in a tray with wet pebbles.
Rose needs weekly water treatments in the form of spraying. If the room is cool in winter, it is better not to spray the rose. If the air is too dry and warm, spraying should be carried out 1-2 times a week, even in winter.
Never spray your rose during the day in hot summer weather.
Important! In a dry atmosphere, pests may appear on the flower.
Temperature regime for a flower
The most comfortable temperature for roses in the summer is +14 - +25 degrees. In winter, the rose needs coolness - no higher than +15 degrees.
The indoor rose does not tolerate either drying out or overwatering. In summer, when the rose blooms, watering is necessary 2 times a day - morning and evening. You need to water with settled water room temperature.
In the fall, when the rose sheds its leaves, watering should be reduced to once a week if the rose overwinters on the balcony. If she is in the room at quite high temperature, you need to water it as the top layer of soil dries.
You can alternate top and bottom watering (watering the soil and filling the pan). Anyway excess water the pan must be drained to avoid root rotting.
In the spring, as the plant awakens, watering should be gradually increased.
Due to prolonged flowering, the rose loses its strength and needs to fertilize the soil. They begin to feed her towards the end of February once every 10 days. It is recommended to alternate mineral fertilizers with organic ones.
If you have just transplanted a flower into fresh soil, you do not need to fertilize it.
Important! Before applying fertilizer, the flower must be watered with warm water.
Pruning mini roses is necessary in order to stimulate the ovary. During the flowering period, be sure to prune wilted flowers as short as possible.
The flower is routinely pruned in the fall in preparation for the dormant period. You can also do this in the spring.
Pruning must be done with a sharp tool so that there are no torn parts left on the branch, this can lead to the death of the entire plant. Trim the branches to healthy tissue, above the bud, which faces outward. An oblique cut is made approximately five millimeters above the kidney.
It is necessary to remove all weak or dry shoots, as well as those that do not have an upper bud. When two shoots are intertwined, one of them is removed. If, after pruning, two stems appear from one bud, the excess ones need to be cut off.
Important! Should not be carried out spring pruning, until at least 10 hours of daylight arrives, otherwise the young shoots will not be able to fully develop.
A rose needs a transplant in two cases - after purchase and as the plant grows.
Before replanting a rose after purchase, it must be allowed to adapt. You don’t need to touch it for two weeks. First, the flower itself is prepared. The pot with the rose is placed in water, so it needs to stand for about half an hour. Then the rose needs to be bathed in a contrast shower ( hot water no higher than 40 degrees). After bathing, a greenhouse is made from a plastic bag so that it does not touch the leaves (the edges of the bag can be pinned to the ground). The greenhouse needs to be ventilated daily. The rose will be ready for transplanting when the flowers begin to fade. They need to be removed, and the plant can be replanted.
Immediately before planting, the flower must be removed from the pot and its roots immersed in warm water to wash off any remaining chemicals that were fed to the rose in the greenhouse. Soak the ceramic pot in water for a day.
Drainage is placed at the bottom of the pot, then a layer of soil. The plant is placed in a pot and covered with soil so that it is compacted tightly. The size of the pot should be slightly wider and higher than the previous container.
The rose does not like unnecessary disturbance, so annual replanting is not required unless the pot becomes too small for it. New dishes For roses, prepare in the same way - clean and soak. The pot with the rose is placed in a container of water for 30 minutes to make the earthen lump easier to separate from the pot. Next, the flower is simply transferred to a new pot and fresh substrate is poured in, compacting it around the flower.
After transplanting, there is no need to water the flower, but it is better to place it in a shady place. Later you can move it to a permanent, well-lit place.
Important! Start feeding no earlier than a month after transplantation.
Indoor roses can be propagated by cuttings. The cutting is cut with a sharp knife; its length should be no more than 10 cm. It is better to treat the tool with a solution of potassium permanganate or alcohol. The cut should be oblique, right under the bud, so the cutting will take root better. The upper cut is made 5 mm above the kidney. It is better to remove the leaves from the bottom of the cutting. There are two options for cutting indoor roses:
The cuttings can be briefly placed in water with the addition of heteroauxin (14 tablets per glass of water). After 10 hours, the cuttings are planted in a mixture of sand and peat, or just sand. Then greenhouse conditions are created for them using film or a cut-off water bottle. You don’t need to water a lot so that the cuttings don’t start to rot. The temperature must be at least +18 degrees; direct exposure to sun rays.
The cuttings will take root in about a month, after which they can be opened to acclimate to drier air, and then transplanted into separate containers
The cuttings need to be prepared in the same way, only their length should be about 15 cm. Then they are placed in a jar or glass of water, covered with a cardboard lid with holes into which the cuttings are inserted. The lower part should be immersed in water by 1.5-2 cm. If the humidity is too low, the cuttings should be sprayed. They can be replanted into pots when the roots grow 1-1.5 cm and begin to branch well.
Important! For good rooting and development of cuttings, they need at least 15 hours of daylight.
If you follow all the rules for caring for an indoor rose, it will bloom from late spring until autumn. If faded buds are removed in a timely manner, the rose will bloom continuously during this period. To prevent the pots from overheating in the sun, they can be wrapped in white paper.
In spring, the rose begins its active growing season, and then it blooms. Flowers can be of a variety of colors - from amazing tea to dark burgundy. The flowers are much smaller than the garden rose we are used to.
At the end of flowering, the rose needs pruning and preparation for rest. If the roses were kept outdoors, they should be brought into the room as soon as the temperature begins to drop below +12 degrees. After pruning, you should gradually reduce watering and stop fertilizing.
Problems with indoor roses can arise due to improper care. The reason for the lack of flowering may be:
Among the diseases, roses can be affected by chlorosis, which is treated with iron chelate. Yellowing of the plant indicates it is infected with a fungus. In this case, you need to treat the rose with a fungicide.
The same should be done in case of powdery mildew (white coating on the rose).
Of the pests, indoor roses are most often affected by spider mites (a thin web appears between the leaves). Spider mites on indoor roses can lead to viral diseases. You need to treat the flower with Apollo or Fitoverm.
Thrips or aphids on indoor roses pose no less of a threat. They affect buds and leaves, deforming them. Treated with insecticidal preparations for indoor plants.
This is perhaps the most common variety of indoor roses. The Bengal rose is absolutely unpretentious and is distinguished by the fact that it does not shed its leaves after flowering. The flowers are odorless. Does not require pruning, except for dried or diseased branches.
The bushes are no higher than 30 cm, the flowers are collected in inflorescences and have delicate aroma. Flowers can range from white to black. It blooms profusely and does not require pruning.
Characterized by abundant flowering, great for both rooms and garden borders. This yellow indoor rose invariably enjoys the love of gardeners.
This variety is distinguished by two-color double flowers - white with a pink center. It blooms profusely and for a long time, reaching a height of only 20 cm.
More common in the south. Bushes 30 cm tall are strewn with coral-colored flowers. The flowers themselves are collected in inflorescences of 10-15 pieces.
As a reference: do not confuse miniature indoor roses with Chinese indoor roses. The latter has nothing to do with roses and is called hibiscus.
Several Yet useful tips to care for the beautiful rose:
This plant is perennial and with good care lives a long time.
The indoor rose is not a poisonous plant.
Previous chapters described situations when a rose stops blooming or does not bloom at all. This may be a consequence of disturbance in the maintenance of the plant, as well as exposure to pests. It is necessary to inspect the flower. If no pests are observed, you need to change some care parameters and observe the plant.
If the plant withers and the buds fall off, it means that it does not have enough watering. If this continues with normal watering, look for signs of disease or pests.
The best wintering environment for indoor roses will be a balcony with a temperature no higher than +15 degrees. This is a dormant period for the plant, so minimal watering is required and fertilizing is needed.
Who can resist the charm of delicate rose buds? Certainly not keen flower growers!
Therefore, every flower lover simply must have a rose in a pot in his home collection.
Very often the purchase of a rose turns out to be spontaneous. Of course, because in the store they look very attractive. Indoor roses are often given to women who love flowers.
In any case, if you purchased a rose or received it as a gift, you will definitely find our article useful.
The rose is a difficult flower to keep at home; it is quite demanding and capricious. It is not enough to become the happy owner of this beauty, you also need to preserve the flower and find an approach to it, otherwise sad consequences will not keep you waiting.
Yes exactly. The purchased plant usually looks fresh and full of vigor, blooms amazingly and it seems that it will always be like that.
In fact, plants arrive on the counter fed with all kinds of stimulants; in addition, they have special packaging that preserves high humidity. Once on our windowsill, roses are deprived of all this.
Almost immediately, inexperienced gardeners have problems: the roses begin to turn yellow, their leaves dry out and fly off, the buds fall off and turn black. Rosette orders to live long and disappears, leaving behind nothing but frustration.
It should be noted that the rose is considered a plant open ground. Some varieties are more adapted for keeping in apartment conditions, than others. But this does not mean that keeping them in an apartment is an easy matter.
When purchasing an indoor rose, after purchase it is simply necessary to take a set of rescue measures, even if the plant looks healthy and strong. Believe me, it won't last long!
To replant a rose, remove it from the previous pot along with the earthen lump. Assess the condition of the roots entwined in the ground.
If the roots are hair-thin, brown or blackened, dry or rotten, the plant will most likely die. You can try to save it: cut cuttings and try to root them.
Healthy roots are bright white or yellowish in color and look quite dense, like a thin wire. If the roots are only partially missing, you need to remove all the rotten and damaged ones, leaving the healthy ones.
Place expanded clay or other drainage at the bottom of the new pot.
It is better to purchase a soil mixture ready for roses or a garden mixture. Do not use cheap soil; it contains a lot of peat and few nutrients. It is better to choose a higher quality soil mixture.
You can make your own soil mixture by taking: 1 part humus + 1 part leaf soil + 1 part coniferous soil + 3 parts turf soil + 1 part sand.
Fill the drainage with soil and compact it a little. Place the rose bush together with a lump of earth, cover it with new soil, periodically compacting it so that the bush does not dangle in the pot, but is well fixed. Water with settled or filtered water at room temperature.
Treatment against diseases and pests is necessary. A pruned and replanted plant is weakened and susceptible to disease, even if it was purchased at the store good care and no infection occurred there. Therefore, it is better to play it safe and process it.
Also, after transplantation, treatment with Epin is effective - it will strengthen the plant’s immunity and reduce stress from transplantation.
Spray your plant; it requires high humidity, especially in conditions of operating heating and dry air in the apartment. If the rose is very small and weak, then the pot can be covered with a bottle (with small holes) on top, creating a greenhouse, and only then gradually accustom the rose to apartment air.
Rose is a light-loving plant. For her well-being, she needs a lot of light. South windows are very suitable for growing. On other sides of the world winter time lighting will be required.
The optimal temperature for growing indoor roses is 18-25 degrees. Since the rose is an open ground plant, it loves fresh air very much and it needs it for full growth. In the summer, the rose can be taken out into the garden or onto the balcony. The rest of the time, you need to organize ventilation, while avoiding drafts that are harmful to roses.
Water the homemade rose with settled water at room temperature. Cold water is harmful to them. Rose will be grateful for regular spraying both in the summer heat and in the winter heating season. If the rosette is near the battery, then it is better to place it in a tray with wet expanded clay.
The rosette is fed with complex fertilizers for roses from spring to winter once every 2-3 weeks, gradually reducing the frequency of feeding in the fall.
Indoor roses are propagated by cuttings. Cuttings up to 15 cm long, with several buds, are suitable for this. They are rooted in the ground, covered with a bottle or bag on top. To do this, you can take small cups for seedlings.
Roots appear in about 2 weeks. The greenhouse can be gradually removed after new leaves appear. Rooted cuttings can be replanted only when the root system has developed well.
Roses require periodic pruning to form a bush. It is best to produce it in the spring. Branches that have lengthened over the winter, faded flowers, and weak and dry branches are removed.
Problems and their solutions:
This problem occurs especially often in summer and winter. On hot days, the rose evaporates a lot of moisture; you need to closely monitor the soil moisture, not allowing it to dry out completely, and also spray it regularly. In winter, due to heating devices, air humidity tends to zero, and the plant begins to experience a moisture deficiency.
The rosette dries out in the following cases:
If you notice that the leaves of your rose have begun to dry, do not wait to continue, but take measures to save the flower. First of all, you need to check the soil in the pot, if it is dry, water it. It is also recommended to remove the plant from central heating radiators. Place the rose in a tray with damp expanded clay and spray it often. If the rose bush is small, you can cover it with a bag or bottle until the plant returns to normal.
If the above measures do not help, remove the plant from the pot and look at the condition of the roots. If they are dry and brittle, darkened, then the flower is in danger of dying, and all that remains is to take cuttings from it. Because if the roots of a plant have dried out due to infrequent watering, or for other reasons (sometimes they are already like this from the store) and died, then there is no way to restore them.
Why leaves may turn yellow:
If your rose is turning yellow, first of all pay attention to watering, whether it is too frequent. What type of potting soil is it in? Doesn't it resemble swamps? In this case, watering should be reduced, leaving only spraying for a while.
If after purchasing you have not yet replanted the rose, then do it urgently. The land in which they are sold is very poor in nutrients. Or the soil into which you transplanted the plant was not best quality, this also happens.
You can try feeding the rose with complex fertilizers for flowers, preferably specifically for roses. Favorite fertilizers: Greenworld and Bona Forte for roses.
If fertilizing helps little and only temporarily, then it is worth replanting the plant in more nutritious soil. You should not replant the rose into the ground from the garden.
If you find chlorosis in a rose - this is a characteristic yellowing of the leaves, then this indicates a lack of iron. Feed the rose with Iron Chelate or Ferrovit according to the instructions.
Rose chlorosis
If the rose was flooded for a long time (perhaps this happened in the store + a fungus often attaches due to high humidity), then its root system could rot. If the roots look black or brown and are easily crushed with a finger, then they have rotted and cannot be restored. If some of the roots are healthy, then the rotten roots should be removed, the flower should be transplanted into a pot with good drainage and not flooded again.
Water the rose only with water at room temperature. Strongly cold water poorly dissolves the nutrients contained in the soil and the plant does not receive them. It also promotes root rot, reduces the plant’s immunity and increases susceptibility to disease.
Falling leaves may be due to dryness (see above, The rose is drying out). If the leaves do not dry, but wither and fall off, then this may be for the following reasons:
Dark, withered leaves and the shoots need to be pruned. If the rose is frozen, it will gradually move away on its own, shedding its frostbitten leaves.
How to recognize fungal diseases? Blackened or greyed, covered with plaque, stems, all kinds of growths and plaques, spots on leaves, “rust” of roses, powdery mildew are a sign of fungal diseases. We treat them with Fitosporin according to the instructions.
How to recognize viral diseases? Changes in leaf color, mosaic, deformation of the shape of the leaf blade are signs of a viral disease. Viral diseases are treated by removing damaged shoots and improving the conditions of the plant and increasing its immunity.
How to recognize a pest? Often the consequences of the actions of malicious insects are visible visually. Either the pests themselves are present on the leaves, they can be very small, multi-colored and transparent, but still, if you look closely, you will see how they move, or traces of their vital activity - spots eaten away by spots on the leaves, paths, black dots, cobwebs (if infected spider mite). In general, roses are very fond of mites, aphids, thrips and other pests; in the summer, treatment with drugs against them is strictly necessary, even if you don’t see them. In this case, we use the drug Fitoverm according to the instructions.
Still, it is worth remembering that no matter how hard you try to create greenhouse conditions inside the apartment, the rose may not appreciate it, and it is best to plant it in the garden, where it will definitely feel at home.
A home rose growing in a pot looks no less attractive than a garden rose. But indoor varieties require increased attention. In order for a flower from a store to grow and develop correctly at home and not get sick, it needs to create certain conditions. All the features of maintaining such a plant after purchase will be discussed in the article. 
Home White Rose It looks gentle, elegant, and exudes a pleasant aroma. Before buying such a plant, you need to decide on the type. After all, for home grown different varieties are used. Photos and videos of some species will be presented below. 
The following varieties of indoor varieties are most in demand among gardeners:
If a florist plans to cultivate trees and dwarf varieties of garden roses in an apartment, you should choose your own rooted bushes. After all, plants grafted onto rose hips will not grow at home.
The stores offer a wide range of roses. Flowers are sold in containers. Often, some time after purchase, the plant begins to wither, dry out and die, and the leaves turn yellow and fall off.
After this, it is important that the plant adapts to new conditions. To do this, it is recommended not to touch it for several days. And then they start transplanting. How to properly propagate and root a flower from cuttings in the country?
For transplantation you will need a fertile substrate, small stones or sand, drainage material, vermiculite, flowerpot and stimulants for adaptation.
Some experts recommend rinsing root zone, removing all soil, and then soaking in a stimulating solution. Others argue that such a procedure is not mandatory and that it is enough to simply spray the flower and leaves with special compounds.
It is better to buy substrate and soil in the store. But if this is not possible, you can prepare the soil mixture yourself. To do this, take turf, humus soil and coarse sand in a ratio of 1:1:0.5. To protect against diseases, it is recommended to add phytosporin in powder form to the soil.
Place drainage at the bottom of the pot. On top is a layer of substrate. Place the plant and cover it with soil. To create greenhouse conditions, the flower is covered with a plastic bag or jar. Under such cover the home garden rose must stay 10 days. At the same time, it is recommended to ventilate every day by removing the jar or bag for a while.
The flower needs to be treated with stimulants weekly. IN further transplantation carried out at home every year. As the plant increases in size, it is better to choose containers 2-3 centimeters larger in diameter than previous pots.
Since the domestic Chinese rose is not a tropical plant, it needs moderate conditions. In summer, the room temperature should be low (from +20 to +25 degrees), and in winter it can be kept cool (+10-15 degrees). Overheating and low humidity have a detrimental effect on Chinese roses.
Experts recommend placing hibiscus pots in an apartment on western or southeastern windows. The plant is light-loving, but it must be protected from direct rays of the sun. In summer it is better to take out a flowerpot with a large Chinese rose to the terrace or balcony. The soil should be moisture- and breathable. It is worth making drainage holes in the pot.
To grow a beautiful home bush rose, we need to provide her with proper care. The plant loves good watering, periodic feeding and timely pruning. It is important to regularly inspect the flower for pests and diseases. You can read more about caring for roses at home here.
Features of home care are given below:
Some people try to grow indoor bush roses by analogy with garden roses. This blunder. After all, the homemade cordana rose has a number of features and different times year requires some care.
With the onset of spring climbing rose new branches and leaves appear. From this moment on, they begin to irrigate abundantly and apply mineral fertilizers to wake it up. In the evening, it is good to spray the flower with cool water from a spray bottle. If the bush has grown greatly, it is transferred to a larger pot. When the threat of frost has passed, the container is moved to the balcony or garden. First they place it in the shade, and after two weeks - in a sunny area.
During this period, it is necessary to organize regular watering and spraying. Nutrient mixtures should be added periodically. All dried parts of the plant must be removed. In hot weather, you need to monitor the condition of the park rose. It is important to spot signs of pests and diseases early. To ensure that the flower is illuminated evenly, the pot must be rotated occasionally.
If at night the temperature drops to +15 degrees, the rose must be moved from the balcony to the room and placed on the windowsill of the south window. After flowering is completed, they begin to prepare the plant for winter. For this purpose, pruning is performed, leaving 5 buds on each shoot. There is no need to shape or cut the leaves.
The essence of winter care is to rarely spray and water the rose. Irrigation is carried out only three days after the substrate in the pot is completely dry. The temperature in the room should not exceed +17 degrees. Therefore, the pot should be placed away from electrical appliances and heating equipment.
In apartments and houses with central heating protection against overheating should be built for the flower. To do this, the plant is placed between the frames. It is better to place the flowerpot on a stand with wet gravel or pebbles.
If you do not follow the watering regime, the flower can be affected by fungal infections. Damp, cold and stagnant air is good conditions for development powdery mildew. In this case, the leaves become covered with a whitish coating, wither and fall off. To combat the disease, fungicide solutions are used, copper sulfate or colloidal sulfur. Another fungal disease is rust. It appears as reddish-brown spots on the leaves. Infected bushes begin to develop poorly. The plant should be treated with iron sulfate, Bordeaux mixture, copper oxychloride.
Black spotting is common. The fact that the flower is dying and is affected by such a disease is indicated by multiple brown-black spots on the leaves. The disease usually appears when the substrate is overwatered and nutrient deficient. To rid the rose of spotting, the damaged parts are cut off and the plant is treated with copper-containing products.
Many gardeners are faced with the fact that the leaves of the Bengal rose turn yellow, dry out and fall off. What to do? The reasons for this condition may be:
If you carry out preventive measures in a timely manner and properly care for your Bourbon rose, no problems will arise.
Thus, a homemade rose in a pot is an apartment decoration. The plant is easy to maintain. But in order for a flower to grow well, it needs to be properly cared for. It is important to constantly inspect for diseases and pests and, if necessary, take treatment and protection measures.
Indoor rose. Among the variety of domestic flora, it, like its garden version, rightfully bears the name of the queen. The flower manages to maintain its leading position in popularity thanks to its unique aroma and diversity. color scheme and the beauty of lacy leaves.
Queens of flowers of small sizes are included in the capricious category. However, such a statement is not a reason to refuse to grow a flower in an apartment. You just need to know the rules and subtleties of care, which are very different from what characterizes the agricultural technology of garden beauties.
Miniature queens find their way into apartments as gifts or purchases, and also thanks to the passion of flower growers who strive not only to have a beautiful plant, but also to increase the number of potted representatives on their own windowsills.
Indoor rose
Everyone knows that home roses are whimsical. Having become the owner of a flower, you need to think about preserving it. If you are holding a gift pot with a magnificent, lushly blooming specimen, it means that the flower sold in the store received a good dose of stimulants, the effect of which, unfortunately, is very short-lived. And the packaging of gift flowers is specialized, helping to maintain high humidity levels. Deprived of intensive feeding and humidity, flowers can quickly die. In order not to be disappointed in the gift you received or your ability to grow miniature roses, you must initially take measures to preserve the plant.
Below is a list of mandatory actions.
Taking care of your home beauty is not limited to these actions. Below are the rules for keeping plants in apartment conditions.
Tiny rose bushes are a great decoration for any windowsill. With a height of no more than 35 cm, they are in no way inferior to their garden brothers. Vary the following types plants: miniature, Bengal, hybrid tea, remontant, groundcover, polyanthus and floribunda.
The varieties of roses successfully grown in apartments are very numerous:
Indoor rose variety “Hi – Ho”
The queen of flowers is successfully grown in pots. Rose Bengal (Pink Grotendors) or hybrid tea rose (Spice Drop) feel great here. And rose polyanthus and floribunda, varieties Angel wings and Happy Child, etc., feel better in tubs.
The main feature of indoor roses is their ability to propagate without problems by cuttings.
Speaking about a southern beauty, any person, first of all, has in mind a delightful, lushly blooming bush or large fragrant flowers. A rose in a pot may not initially be large, but the duration and abundance of flowering is the result of the skill and diligence of the gardener. And the components of success are the following criteria:
Properly organized wintering of a flower will allow in early spring admire the bright greenery and numerous buds.
Before you think about wintering, remember that traditionally, miniature specimens of flowers imported from foreign greenhouses are placed on the shelves of flower shops. For growing for sale and long-term preservation marketable flowers are fed with growth and flowering stimulants, which negatively affects the life expectancy of asthenia outside greenhouse conditions.
Having purchased such a specimen, you should take care of its preservation in changed conditions. To do this, as noted above, the plant must be transplanted into a large container with fresh soil and all the buds must be removed, and not only the inflorescences, but also part of the stem are removed. New shoots that appear at the pruning site are also pinched. And only after this is the possibility of flowering of the home beauty allowed.
To maintain compact volumes of the rose bush in the period preceding the beginning of active bud growth, that is, in early spring, formative pruning is carried out.
To increase the population of a miniature version of the flower queen, use vegetative method reproduction. The main material is branches left after pruning. Their length should not exceed 15 cm, no more than 4 buds are left on the stem.
In order for the cuttings to take root, they are placed in water with a dissolved tablet of activated carbon or a mixture of sand and peat. Another option that can help the cuttings take root is treating the twigs with Kornevin or an infusion of willow branches. You should expect the roots to appear no earlier than 14-20 days, after which the seedlings are planted in separate containers.
If a sand-peat substrate was used to root the branches, then the cuttings must be placed in an improvised greenhouse. The development of the root system is indicated by the beginning of the appearance of new foliage. The period of adaptation of the seedling to room conditions should be gradual.

The purchased plant must undergo adaptation to new conditions before it is transplanted into a new container, larger in size than the transport pot and in height and diameter by approximately 5 and 3 cm, respectively. How to replant a flower without damaging it? Moistening the soil beforehand will help remove the plant from the pot.
In the new container, it is necessary to lay a layer of drainage, which is covered on top a small amount fresh earthen mixture. The plant moved with the earth ball should stand tightly in the pot, which is ensured by a uniform volume of soil poured along the edges of the new container. The transplanted flower must be placed in partial shade for several days, and then moved to the designated place. Moisturizing should be moderate, at the root. Spraying is encouraged.
Feeding begins no earlier than a month after the plant is transplanted. Mineral fertilizers are recommended, the solution of which is used twice a month for root and foliar feeding.

Despite the established opinion about the capriciousness of the miniature beauty, even beginners can refuse questions about how to care for a rose, provided that they initially organize acceptable conditions for keeping the flower. The focus is on the following parameters:
| Light mode. | There should be a lot of light. However, constant exposure to direct sunlight leads to the rapid opening of inflorescences and the falling of buds. To ensure sufficient lighting in winter and in apartments with insufficient access to sunlight, it is recommended to install special phytolamps, the spectrum of which covers the red and blue range. |
| Air humidity. | Low humidity levels are the main enemy lush flowering and flower lifespan. In hot summer weather and in the stuffy atmosphere of apartments during the heating season, it is advisable to provide constant, abundant spraying (twice a day) and access fresh air. Constant humidity can be ensured by placing the flower pot in a tray with wet expanded clay. |
| Watering. | In summer it should be plentiful. At the end of summer, it is worth considering where to place the rose in the apartment for the autumn-winter period (in winter, choose cool rooms or places away from radiators) and take care to reduce the amount of moisture in the earthen coma. Excess water should be removed from the pan. Overmoistening or drying out the soil leads to the death of the flower. The water should be settled and warm. |
| Temperature conditions. | Indoor flowers should be protected from overheating, which leads to the development of various diseases. |
| Feeding. | The process is carried out after moistening the soil twice a month with organic and mineral fertilizers, specially designed for the queen of flowers. Alternation of fertilizing is required. During the dormant period, fertilizers are excluded. |
| Trimming. | The question of how to prune a rose correctly is not complicated. Events are organized in the fall. Flower shoots are shortened so that only 5 buds remain. Weak and thin branches must be removed. |
| Peace. | This period begins from the moment the last flower falls and continues until February. For proper “rest”, a temperature within 4-6ºC is required (the maximum permissible temperature is 10-14ºC). At the end of winter, the temperature is increased to 15-18ºC. |
How to prune a rose after flowering

Now there are many plants that can be grown at home. For example, this is a miniature, or, as it may more often be called, an indoor rose
But cut flowers do not last forever - they quickly fade in vases. Now lovers of this plant have the opportunity to prolong the pleasure of admiring flowering plant by planting a rose at home. At the same time, almost any room will suit.

Usually it is an elegant bush up to 45 cm high, dotted with small buds.
The largest of the plants of this species are patio roses. They can be grown not only at home, but also in open flower beds.
The smallest ones are Cordan roses. This is a very miniature bush with small buds.

To avoid disappointment in further cultivation When purchasing this wonderful green creature, you need to know some subtleties and secrets:
Having received it as a gift from friends or bought a miniature rose at a flower shop, you should not rush to replant it immediately. The Queen of Plants is a very whimsical flower and, like any beauty, capricious. It is necessary to give this plant time to adapt to new conditions. Two to three weeks are enough for this.
After purchasing and placing the plant in your home, you need to wash it under barely warm shower. This preventative measure, which destroys spider mites. For greater confidence, it is proposed to additionally treat the purchased bush with Fitoferm or Agrovertin.
You can start replanting by making sure that the plant has healthy looking. This is a necessary procedure, since in a greenhouse roses are grown in small pots and with a minimum amount of nutritious soil. The vital activity of the plant is supported by special nutrient solutions. Therefore, under no circumstances should you delay replanting a rose. Otherwise, she may get sick and eventually die.
Many people do not know how to properly care for indoor roses. To replant the plant, you will need to purchase a flower pot and soil mixture. The size of the new container should be only slightly larger than the existing one. Of all the pots on sale, it is, of course, better to purchase simple ceramic ones without varnish coating. They have a porous structure, which facilitates ventilation of the plant’s root system. All this can be bought at garden centers or flower shops.
As a rule, 3-4 plants are rooted in greenhouses. Therefore, after the end of the adaptation period, the roses must be replanted.
The Queen of Flowers is a very capricious plant and does not tolerate any impact on the root system. Therefore, it is necessary to approach this procedure with special care. Before transplanting, the flower must be watered abundantly and after an hour and a half, begin the transplant procedure.
You also need to prepare in advance flower pots for future "tenants". At the bottom of each one should be laid out a small layer of expanded clay (you can get by with small pebbles) for better drainage from the nutrient lump. A small layer of sphagnum or charcoal should be placed on the drainage.
Then the plants should be carefully divided and planted in the pots prepared for them. In separate containers, crops will grow better and bloom more luxuriantly than with dense planting, since they will be in more favorable conditions.
The size of the new container should be only slightly larger than the existing one
Any one is suitable for transplantation universal primer, but it is better to use a special soil mixture for roses or prepare it yourself at the rate of: 1 part garden soil, 2 parts humus, 2 parts peat and 0.5 parts river sand.
If the purchased rose is alone in a pot or it is not possible to separate the bushes without causing dangerous damage to them, the plant should be replanted by simple transshipment.
Indoor roses require proper care. By their nature, these are light-loving plants, and therefore those window sills that are illuminated by the sun for the longest possible time are best suited for them. But on hot days it is still better to shade the plant slightly. Sufficient lighting can be judged by seeing abundant growth and flowering. With a lack of light, the plant stretches, the leaves become pale in color. As a rule, in this case the rose hardly produces buds and often gets sick. If there is not enough light, you need to make additional lighting. Regular fluorescent lamps are suitable for this.
The queen of flowers will generously respond to sufficient watering with abundant flowering and longevity. It must be carried out as the top layer of soil dries.
There is an easy way to determine when to water. If, when you lightly press the soil in the pot with your finger, it remains dry, then it’s time to water. If soil sticks to your finger, moisturizing should be postponed. Under no circumstances should you go to extremes when watering. Excess moisture contributes to soil acidification and the development of fungal diseases of the root system. Excessively dry soil does not allow the plant to receive adequate nutrition. As a result, it sheds its leaves and grows poorly.
For full, abundant growth and especially flowering, miniature roses, like garden roses, must be fed regularly. For this you can use complex organic fertilizers with the addition of minerals and trace elements for flowering indoor plants. They must be applied every week, according to the manufacturer’s recommendations, throughout the entire flowering period - from early spring to late autumn (March-November).

In November, when the sunny day has already decreased significantly, indoor roses should be prepared for the dormant period. To do this, first of all, you need to trim the bushes. First of all, weak and underdeveloped shoots are removed. Next are those branches that grew deep into the bush. 3-4 buds are left on young shoots, and 2-3 buds on the main trunk and the most developed branches. Leaves on shortened branches are not cut off.
The young shoots of the indoor rose will subsequently replace the old ones, and thanks to this the bush will be rejuvenated.
Roses in flowerpots are propagated by cuttings. Best time for this purpose - from May to August. Most suitable material for cutting cuttings - stems with a diameter of 2.5-3.5 cm. Cuttings are cut with 2-3 internodes.
ends planting material dipped in Heteroauxin solution, placed in a glass filled with water to about 4 cm, and placed in a well-lit place.
Cuttings produce roots within two weeks. Important detail: in the glass where the cuttings are placed, there is no need to change the water, even if the walls turn green. It is enough to simply add liquid to the original volume.
From the moment a good root lobe grows, the cuttings should be transplanted into small pots and removed for 2 weeks in a place where they will not be exposed to direct rays of the sun.
With successful engraftment and if the care of the indoor rose is observed, after 2 months a full-fledged plant will grow from the cuttings and the first flowering will occur.
Around mid-October, roses begin to feel discomfort; this becomes noticeable by the slowdown in the growth of new shoots and the appearance of underdeveloped buds. The foliage on the bush begins to turn yellow and fall off. Roses are not evergreen plants of tropical countries; they have their own biorhythm, similar in nature to the biorhythms of ordinary garden crops. Yellowing foliage on a bush lets the owner know that autumn has come for the queen of flowers and it’s time for her to retire until spring.
To adequately prepare favorite plant for the dormant period, from the beginning of November it is necessary to significantly reduce watering - up to 2 times a week. The bush is trimmed and placed in a cool place (on an insulated balcony, loggia or basement) until the beginning of February. It must be remembered that the temperature in the room where the roses “rest” should not fall below +8°C. Optimal performance For winter storage indoor roses - +12-16°C.
To maintain the level of humidity required for this period, it is advisable to place the plant in a tray filled with expanded clay lightly watered, and do not forget to periodically spray the lump of earth in the pot.
If you don’t have the time or desire to tinker with a rose in winter, it’s enough to place the plant in a room with a temperature of 0°C.
Around the end of February, the flower will let you know that spring is coming - the rose’s buds will begin to swell. This means it’s time to move it to its original place in the room. The watering rate must be gradually increased, stimulating the gradual return of the rose to the period of active flowering. Since in February the sunny days are not so long and there are often cloudy days, it is necessary to provide additional illumination for the flower by installing a phytolamp.
Miniature roses are susceptible to the same fungal diseases as other indoor flowers. As a rule, infections affect either young or weakened indoor plants, those that have received improper care.
The most common disease of most beautifully flowering indoor plants is a fungal disease called powdery mildew. Excessive feeding, poorly ventilated rooms, strong thickening of the plant itself - this is the environment in which this infection actively develops. The appearance of a white coating on the leaves and stems of a rose is a signal for active action to save the flower. It is necessary to remove the affected leaves, buds and shoots and treat the bush with Topaz or Fundazol.
Downy mildew is very similar to the disease described above. When a plant is infected with this fungus, a white coating appears only on the back side of the leaf. Yellowish spots are visible on top of it. This fungal disease spreads quickly through wet leaves when a rose is sprayed. Fighting the disease is similar to eliminating powdery mildew - it involves pruning the affected leaves and stems and treating with a fungicide.
The appearance of red or bright orange spots with brown pustules on the leaves of the plant indicates another common disease - the so-called rose rust. It affects indoor flowers that receive insufficient or improper care at home. Treatment of a diseased bush consists of creating proper conditions. But first you need to cut off all the affected areas and treat them with appropriate preparations (Topsin, Oksikhom).
