In general, a rose can grow on any soil, but if you want to end up with beautiful and healthy flowers, it is recommended to plant compost or ash before planting. Also, after the bushes get stronger, it is recommended to make mineral fertilizers, but you should not use a large number of chemicals.
Planting and breeding
There are several ways to grow Dutch rose: seedlings and cuttings. If you decide to use the first method, the landing should be done in the spring, after the ground warms up well and stable, warm weather is established. We recommend using the following recommendations:

Important! Young bushes can be transplanted only with the establishment of warm stable weather, and plants 4-5 years old can be planted in a new place in March.
You can also carry out reproduction, independently performing cuttings:
- cuttings are cut from the middle part of the stem. Their length should be 12-14 cm;
- 2-3 buds should be present on each of them;
- the upper cut is performed at a right angle, with the need to retreat from the kidney 0.5 cm. The lower cut is performed at an acute angle;
- foliage must be removed from the bottom of the cutting;
- foliage and thorns, located at the top, shortened;
- The cuttings should be placed one day before planting in a growth-stimulating solution; when planting, it is worthwhile to deepen them only a few centimeters.
Planted cuttings need to be covered with a film and provide them with a temperature of 22-24 ° C. During the first two weeks, you must regularly spray the cuttings.
