Let's talk about repotting roses!
I. Repotting Time:
In the growth process of roses, they are usually repotted twice a year.
Once after the spring bloom, before the plum rain season, the roses should be repotted into a larger pot to prepare for the summer.
Changing the soil for the roses in winter
The second repotting is during the winter dormant period of the roses, combined with winter pruning. This is mainly to replace the potting soil and increase nutrients. Of course, if the potting soil is compacted or the roots have filled the potting soil and are coming out of the bottom holes of the pot, they should be repotted into a larger pot at any time.
Today, Greenery Enthusiast website will focus on how to repot roses in winter.
II. Winter Rose Repotting Method
1. Determine if the rose is dormant
In areas with frost, roses will enter a dormant state in winter, and repotting should be done during this period.
The method to determine if a rose is dormant is that when the rose enters a dormant state, its leaves and stems will turn red. If you find that your potted rose has its leaves turn from green to red, and growth slows down or stops, it indicates that it has entered the dormant period.
Note: In warm southern regions, roses do not go dormant.
2. Prepare new soil
When repotting roses in winter, the main task is to replace the potting soil, so the soil should be prepared in advance. The new soil should ensure it is loose, breathable, and fertile.
