Care

You just have to follow these simple rules.:

Cut off all the leaves that will come in contact with the water in the vase so that they do not rot or spoil the water.
Change the water every two days.
In summer it is better to pour cool water, and in winter room temperature.
Place roses in a place where there is no direct sunlight and drafts.
Before placing the bouquet in a vase, cut the stem of each flower obliquely and make additional cuts on the stem (only in those places where the stem is covered by water).

To increase the safety of roses, they use special products that are sold in the store, but if there are no such products, then add:

vinegar;
alcohol or vodka;
citric acid (at the tip of a knife);
bleach for linen (a couple of drops);

How to grow from a bouquet?

Growing an Ecuadorian rose where the climate is different is quite difficult.. There is little chance that the cuttings of the roses will take root. If it works out, the flowers will be smaller, the stem thinner due to a lack of light and heat, and also because the plant is getting used to the new climate.

The easiest and most effective way to propagate roses is to grow cuttings.

Preparation for landing

Shoots are cut by secateurs (from the middle part of the stem) 10-15 cm each. An important condition is that there should be 2-3 buds on the shoot.
The cut above the upper kidney should be straight, and under the bottom, a cut should be made at an angle of 45 degrees.
Cut the leaves (2/3) from the shoots so that the nutrients do not go into them. The main thing is to cut them, not cut them off.
The handle is treated with a tool that stimulates root growth.

Primary landing before rooting

For the initial planting, use water or soil. However, it is worth knowing that the chance of engraftment of cuttings in water is only 30%, even if this method is easier than the method using soil. It is more logical to use the soil.

A shank sits on the ground at an angle. Soil and drainage are best purchased at a special store.
The plant is covered with a jar to create a greenhouse effect. This manipulation will protect the escape from environmental influences. You can’t remove the jar until the first leaves appear (then it is removed). Water around cans as needed.
After rooting, the jar is removed for an hour and a half, gradually increasing the time.
Next, you need a temperature of 23-25 degrees, regular moistening of the soil and spraying the top of the handle (after rooting and the appearance of leaves).

Permanent placement in the ground

Roses are transplanted in late spring or summer. The place should be sunny and windproof. The deepening is not very deep so that rainwater does not flow into it.

The dimensions of the recess should correspond to the size of the root system.

The soil needs to be fertilized, after planting the cuttings to water. It is recommended to hide plants from direct sunlight.

Primary care

As soon as the first flowers appear, it is necessary to cut them off immediately so that the plant does not waste its resources on them and becomes stronger (only the first year). Fertilizer is needed only when the plant grows by about 12 cm. You must also take care in advance about where to place the roses for the winter. It depends on the variety of roses.

Roses from Ecuador make up half of the flowers delivered to Russia, valued by florists from around the world. They deserve to be the most beautiful roses, which have all kinds of shades and sizes.
