The rose is often considered a symbol of love and beauty, embodying both qualities in its stunning form. Growing a beautiful rose requires careful attention to its needs and environment.


Here are some tips for successfully growing roses:


1. Loosen the soil


If you are growing roses in pots at home, it's important to choose loose soil that is mixed with sandy soil and vermiculite in equal amounts. This allows the roots of the roses to stretch freely in the soil and promotes better growth.


2. Provide adequate light and temperature


When raising roses in pots, it's crucial to ensure they receive at least four hours of direct sunlight each day for optimal growth and blooming. Additionally, maintaining a consistent temperature of 20-25°C helps prevent fluctuations that can negatively impact growth.


3. Proper watering and moisture


To ensure that the soil remains moist, normal watering should occur every 2-3 days during spring and autumn. In the summer, roses require more watering due to the high temperatures and should be watered daily. Conversely, in winter, watering can be reduced to once every seven days.


4. Use fertilizer judiciously


During the growing period, applying fertilizer every half month promotes vigorous growth. When the roses are flowering, apply phosphorus and potassium fertilizer once every 10 days to enhance their bloom.


5. Prune and repot


To avoid pests and diseases and provide ample space for growth, it's recommended that roses are repotted each year. Additionally, pruning the branches and leaves is essential to remove weak, diseased, and multiple branches, as well as broken flowering branches, for the roses to grow strong.


Moreover, roses can also be grown without soil. Here's how:


1. Choose the right variety


To grow roses without soil, it's important to select a variety that can thrive in these conditions. One such variety is Samonza roses.


2. Use a soilless substrate


In the absence of soil, a mixture of perlite and granite can be used as a substrate. It's also crucial to prepare a larger masonry pot with drainage holes at the bottom to contain the substrate.


3. Transplant the roses


After preparing the roses, transplant them into the soilless substrate and water them liberally. Water and nutrient solutions should be added to the substrate every day to promote growth.


4. Use hydroponics


Alternatively, roses can also be grown in water without any substrate. Simply remove the potting soil, clean the roots of any soil, and remove any damaged roots. Then, place the roses in a container of water and change the water source every 10 days, adding drops of nutrient solution as needed.
