Vous peut-être demandez:
I grow roses just to enjoy the flowers, why do I need to know so much about growth habits?
Growth habit does not affect our ability to grow roses, but if we want to grow them well, we need to understand the characteristics of the growth habit.
Because roses need to be pruned frequently, a good cut results in a better overall shape and more flowers, but the prerequisite for a good cut is understanding the growth habit.
Vous pouvez peut-être demander:
What if I don't know what type of growth habit my rose has?
Here, Green Plant Enthusiast Network will teach you some methods to identify the growth habit of roses.
What to do when the growth habit is not clear?
1. -- Look up related information based on the name --
In the case of knowing the variety name, you can search for related information on Baidu to determine the growth habit.
2. -- When the name is unknown, judge by observing the plant form --
If you don't know the variety name of the rose, you can identify it by observing the form of the plant.
1. Upright growth habit, the posture is basically unchanged during the second blooming, and the plant height increases in autumn, the overall upright growth habit is basically unchanged.
2. Shrub growth habit, after the second blooming, the flowering branches become soft, and the flowers slightly face downward, the growth habit gradually forms an arch shape, the overall posture is between upright and vine.
3. Vine growth habit, the branches continuously extend, and some varieties grow very vigorously, which can grow up to 3 meters long in a year.
Since each growth habit has its own growth characteristics, it is necessary to consider the growth habit characteristics when pruning.
Proper pruning can result in a beautifully shaped rose potted plant.
About pruning, Green Plant Enthusiast Network will explain in detail later, today you just need to master the characteristics of each growth habit of roses.
By mastering the growth habit characteristics of roses, we can choose varieties based on our own space when selecting seedlings.
If it is for balcony cultivation with limited space, you can choose upright rose varieties as much as possible, such as Swedish Queen.
The upright variety has branches that grow upwards, occupies less space, and is suitable for small spaces such as balconies.
If there is more space, you can choose shrub-like roses with branches growing diagonally upwards. If it is for courtyard arches or fences, you can plant vine roses, which are what we call climbing roses.
By now, the preparatory work before buying rose seedlings is basically completed, and it's time to buy seedlings.
When is it appropriate to buy? How can we choose good seedlings?
The above-sharing of what is growth habit, how many types of growth habit classification do roses have, and what to do when the growth habit is not clear, I hope this article can provide you with some help!
