Planting roses properly: Place the processing station under the ground
Autumn is the best time to plant roses. Many of these prickly plants were refined - that is, it was a particularly beautiful flowering, but sensitive specimen on a particularly resistant or, vigorous set - so that some inexperienced gardeners now asks: where to go with the refining?
Refining station belongs under the earth
For grafted roses, the finishing point is always at least five, better seven to ten, inches deep buried in the ground. There are several reasons for this:
1. Refining centers are particularly sensitive to frost damage and injuries.
2. At this point, roses "break" quickly, which is why digging can provide some protection.
3. Refined roses are usually very sensitive to frost and cold winter air, which is why digging the refining site provides a basic winter shelter - which can also be improved by piling up with soil.
4. Also, refined roses often show only weak growth. With a bit of luck, over time, roots from the refining center drift off, so that the rose sometimes literally "stands on its own two feet".
Exception: rose stems and wild roses
Only with Rosenstämmchen you should not bury the finishing place in the soil. In this case, you would have to sink the entire stem, because here the thickening is directly below the crown. You can, however, hibernate young and sufficiently pliant trunk roses by pressing down the crown and digging in along with the finishing station.
How do you recognize the processing station?
For roses (with the exception of the stem roses), the refining site is always just above the roots. This is a thickening above which all shoots sprout - ideally anyway. Shoots that grow below this knobby are usually wild shoots (i.e., they originate from the rootstock) and therefore undesirable.
Protect refining station
The refining site should not only be protected by burial, but also otherwise. This protection is particularly important in winter, which is why roses should always be piled up. This warming earth cover is at best covered with pine truss, which serves both protection and aesthetics. After all, who likes to spend months looking at bare heaps of earth?
Tips
If you are uncertain about the distinction between noble and wild shoots, the following rule of thumb will help you: Edelrosense always have five leaves on one shoot, while most of the wild roses used as a pad, six to seven.
