Draw rose nostalgia in the bucket

Suitable locations for the tub rose

This potted rose is equally suitable for balconies, terraces and house entrances. It values ​​a sunny to partially shaded location. But be careful: in the blazing midday sun on a sheltered balcony, she doesn't feel at all comfortable in summer. It gets too hot for her there.

• Bucket depth: 40 to 60 cm
• ideal: cylindrical shape
• Plastic buckets are not suitable (heat up quickly and do not offer protection from frost)
• better: terracotta tubs
• at the very bottom a drainage layer z. B. Create from pottery shards
• Roots should not be bent when planting

Care of this tub rose: water, fertilize, repot

This tub rose needs plenty care. In contrast to outdoor roses, it has to be watered regularly. This is not only important in summer, but also at all other times of the year. The earth should never dry out. It is poured directly onto the ground without wetting the leaves.

A special one is suitable as fertilizer Slow release fertilizer for roses. This is often enough for half a year. If necessary, it can be re-fertilized. In addition, fertilization with potassium is recommended towards the end of July. As an alternative to long-term fertilizer, you can use a liquid fertilizer. This should be added to the irrigation water once a week.

After about 2 years, the bucket is often already rooted. Then there is a repotting campaign. You don't want to provide a larger bucket? Then take the rose out of the old bucket, shorten the roots by about 10 cm and put them back in the old bucket.
