1. Landing is best done in the spring.
2. The plot on which the Geisha rose planted should be spacious and open, well-lit and protected from cold winds.
3. Soil preparation begins no later than 2 weeks before the start of disembarkation.
4. The size of the pit for the seedling: 0.4 m in all directions.
5. The distance between the rows: 60 cm, and the distance between the bushes: 40 cm.
6. You can plant a rose in wooden boxes or large pots.
7. Seedlings cannot be rooted in lowlands, in order to avoid excessive moisture accumulation.
8. The soil must have high breathability. To do this, before planting it must be thoroughly loosened, and after disembarking for some time regularly carry out loosening.
9. The soil of the soil intended for planting is mixed with sand and humus in a ratio of 1: 4.
10. Do not plant a geisha rose along fences or other possible sources of shade.
11. Immediately before planting, the roots of the seedling are placed in a solution that stimulates growth, for safe and intensive subsequent rooting.
12. Immediately after planting, you need to irrigate and mulch the soil. This will help protect the plant from pests and maintain soil moisture.
13. The abundant flowering of this rose variety requires high energy consumption and needs active recharge.

Plant care includes the following features:

• Watering only if the soil is completely dry.
• For a medium-sized bush, the volume of water for a single watering is about 5-7 liters.
• Watering is carried out under the root of the plant, since it is better to protect the leaves and flowers of the rose from moisture.
• After watering, the soil must be loosened.
• Regularly remove all weeds.
• In the soil around the bush, you sometimes need to make sawdust and hay. This will help retain moisture.
• For the correct decorative formation of the bush, in the first year after its planting, you need to pinch the shoots and remove the buds, allowing the rose to bloom only at the end of summer.
• Spring processing of the bush includes cutting the bush to 50 cm. Pruning is carried out after the first buds appear. For an annual plant, pruning is one third of the entire bush; in subsequent years, the rose is cut to the fifth bud.
• Fertilizing fertilizers after winter is carried out with a solution of urea, and at the end of summer with phosphorus, potassium fertilizers and ash.

Transplant technology

Plant transplantation is carried out according to the following conditions:

1. Geisha rose transplantation begins with the selection of a new location. According to the conditions, it should not differ from the previous one: the presence of the same degree of illumination and protection from winds is mandatory.

4. Then the bush can be dug up and replanted. It is necessary to try to dig a plant with a large lump of earth, and transplant with it.

Breeding

Propagation of the plant is mainly carried out by cuttings. The cuttings are separated when the shoots are already stiff.

1. Cuttings are cut 8 cm long, while the upper cut is made straight, and the bottom is 45 °.
2. The cutlery is placed in the ground to almost half.
3. A hole for landing is made with a depth of 15 cm.
4. The distance between the cuttings is allowed no more than 30 cm.
5. One of the sides of the landing hole is made strictly vertical, in which case the rose will grow straight and slender.
6. After planting, the cuttings are covered with a film, provide them with regular watering and loosening of the soil near them.
7. The first buds should be removed so as not to inhibit the development of the root system.

1. Incorrect landing site selection. Correct the situation can immediately prepare the plant for transplantation to a more suitable place.
2. Incorrect pruning of roses. It is necessary to prune withered flowers in the summer. Otherwise, the plant will begin to prepare for winter, its biological rhythm will be disrupted.
3. Ignoring flowerless shoots. To make the bush more lush and blooming, shoots that do not have flowers are activated by cutting.
4. Surface watering (the plant remains not watered). To remedy the situation, before watering, dig a small hole around the roots (12-15 cm), fill it with settled water, bury the hole after the water is completely soaked.
5. Choosing the wrong time for watering. If the flowers were watered during the day, especially in the scorching sun, this causes burns to the leaves and petals. Affected petals and leaves can be cut off by watering in the evening.
