Damask Rose.

 The Damask rose (Lat. Rosa  damascena) is one of the oldest hybrid species of perennial shrubs in the Rosa genus. It was developed in the Middle East in ancient times—its genetic lineage includes the musk rose, the French rose, and  Rosa fedtschenkoana—and was named after the Syrian city of Damascus. The plant gained worldwide renown for its unique, rich fragrance and became a key raw material for the perfume, cosmetic, and food industries.

The worst "neighbors" for roses!

  A rose is a rather capricious crop and requires unusual attention, but there are a number of plants that should never be allowed near the bushes, otherwise they will slowly destroy them. Therefore, roses are often planted separately from any neighbors.

- Large conifers and birch.

 Needles not only acidify the soil, which is not needed by roses, but also provide dense shade. Birch has a powerful root system that sucks out all the nutrients and leaves roses with nothing.

You can plant the Westerland rose both in spring and autumn.

  When choosing a place for planting, you need to take into account that the plant will not tolerate the scorching sun, so you need to choose such a place.

Strong winds are also undesirable in the planting site, but complete calm is also not suitable. It is best to plant seedlings in black soil, preferably on the south side of the house. The distance between seedlings should be approximately 50-60 cm.

 Before planting, seedlings with an open root system should be left in water with any growth stimulator. In the meantime, you can prepare holes for planting measuring 50x50x50 cm. Drainage from crushed stone, small pebbles or large gravel is laid down, the height of this layer should be about 10 cm.

How to feed roses at the end of the season so that they overwinter better.

  In August and September, roses need 2 types of fertilizers: phosphorus and potassium.

 Phosphorus. It is responsible for the flowering of plants, and roses are blooming right now. But these are not all of its functions - it also increases the resistance of plants to stressful situations: drought and low temperatures. And if we can fight drought with watering, then nothing can be done about winter frosts. This is why phosphorus fertilizers are important.

 Potassium. Plants need it to form a harvest. Here someone will be surprised - what kind of harvest do roses have? And, nevertheless, many varieties form fruits - the same as rose hips. And they are needed by the plant so that the shoots complete their development cycle and ripen by winter. In addition, potassium, like phosphorus, increases winter hardiness, which is important for regions with cold winters.
