Weak rose seedlings, do not easily dig up the root system.
About the topic of weak rose seedlings and not easily digging up the root system in the discussion of flowers and plants, let's understand it together next.
In today's reader group, there is a flower enthusiast (Z-B) who shared the process of checking the rose root system, and it was really stimulating.
The reason for digging up the root system of this rose is that it is growing very weak, almost at the stage of僵 seedlings. If I remember correctly, this should be the large climbing rose bought in the previous days, which is more than one meter high.
Because it is so weak, with no new buds growing and some branches turning black, this flower enthusiast thought it might be suffering from black rot. Seeing that the color of the branches near the soil was darker, they thought it was a black rot disease and therefore dug up the soil and peeled the bark.
The picture shows that the root is good and not rotted. So how should we correctly judge black rot?
Characteristics of black rot disease
Many flower enthusiasts can't tell the difference between blackened branches and normal aging branches. The branches of roses near the roots will turn darker as they age, especially the part buried in the soil. This is a normal phenomenon, which we can simply understand as a sign of aging in rose branches. These healthy branches feel hard and dry when touched by hand.

Branches affected by black rot disease are different. The branches with black rot disease will first turn black and feel soft when pinched, completely different from healthy branches. The branches with black rot can be seen to have a black part that is rotting.
Many flower enthusiasts who buy extra-large rose seedlings will encounter the problem of僵 seedlings, with few leaves and no growth in branches. Therefore, Green Enthusiast Network suggests that everyone should not be too greedy, wanting to achieve everything at once. Flower cultivation should be about enjoying the process and accepting the slow growth of plants.
Buying a relatively larger and easier-to-manage flower is the right choice, but if it is too large, it becomes difficult to manage. It's like raising a pet; a newly weaned one is easier to raise and gets close to the owner, but if it is brought up by someone else and suddenly comes to your home, can it be close to you? Can it listen to your words? It's hard, isn't it? Flower cultivation is the same.
So how should we deal with僵 rose seedlings?
