Rosa Decorosier Kadora

How to plant roses in soil pockets? Prepare your soil in a 30 cm (12in) x 30 cm (12in) area by crumbling the soil and adding an amendment such as dried blood or dehydrated horn at the bottom of the planting hole. Prepare a thick mud mixture with water and soil. Dip your plant in the mud to coat the roots and prevent any air bubbles (this is called "dressing"). Position your plant in the hole, spreading out the roots and ensuring that the graft point is just above the soil level. Fill in with soil and gently tamp down as you go. Prune the branches to 15/20 cm (6/8in) to encourage growth. Create a basin around the base of the roses and water abundantly with a fine mist to eliminate air pockets and help the soil adhere to the roots. In very cold regions, it may be useful to mulch with leaves or compost up to 20 cm (8in) around the base of your plants. Decorosier roses do not require pruning. However, it is possible to prune them to half their size in the spring. In the summer, removing faded flowers will stimulate the growth of new flowers. Naturally resistant to diseases, they do not require fungicidal treatments.

Roses are often stained or unsightly at the end of summer, but this is not a problem for their development. These stains are not harmful to the rose; it is a natural phenomenon.
