Outdoor flower cultivation
Rosa Ruffles Dreams loves good lighting, but does not tolerate direct sunlight, so the best place for planting is slightly shaded areas with sufficient moisture, but without stagnation of water. A suitable soil type is loam enriched with humus.
Note! The best time for planting is autumn (end of August or beginning of September), but if the ground is cold, it is best to plant seedlings in spring after all frosts are over.
Preparing the soil before planting is done in advance: the site is dug up to the shovel bayonet, mineral fertilizers and humus are introduced. The landing pit is made about 30 by 30 cm in size, 40 cm deep. At the bottom of the pit, an elevation is formed, onto which roots shortened to 25 cm are neatly laid out.
After that, the landing pit with the seedling is carefully dug up by the soil, avoiding the occurrence of air "pockets". To do this, ram the earth with your hands, and then carefully spill it with water. After absorbing moisture, it is best to mulch the root zone with a humus layer of about 6-8 cm. The first 2-3 weeks after planting, the seedlings are shaded from the sun.
Planting a bush is not the most difficult event
Plant care
Young seedlings are watered quite often, preserving the moisture of the soil and preventing its drying out, about once every 3-4 days. Adult bushes are watered a little less often, once a week.

Another important aspect of care is loosening the soil, it should not exceed 10 cm in depth, and be done as necessary.
Also, feeding is a very important process that cannot be ignored. In early spring, nitrogenous fertilizers are necessarily added to the soil. For the entire flowering of roses, it is necessary to carry out 2-3 dressings with organic and complex fertilizers, and after flowering and before the plants leave in the winter, potash fertilizers are added to the soil.
Pruning Ruffles roses should be done twice a year: in the spring after the weather is warm, but before the buds swell, and in the fall before the first frost. It includes the removal of all damaged, broken and weak shoots, as well as shoots older than two years. In autumn, it is also important to remove those shoots that did not give flowers.
