Many people think that at the end of summer the plants are already tired and have done everything they were capable of. In reality exactly now you can help them gain strength for a new wave of flowering. The main thing is not to miss this moment.

1. Regularly cut faded flowers

Do not leave dried buds on the bush. The plant spends strength on seed formation instead of producing new shoots. Cut the faded flowers to the first strong leaf with five leaflets — this stimulates the appearance of new buds.

2. Feed with potassium and phosphorus

In August roses no longer need large doses of nitrogen. Instead it is worth using fertilizers with increased content of potassium and phosphorus. They help form buds, strengthen the shoots and prolong the flowering period.

3. Water less often, but deeply

Better one abundant watering at the root than daily small portions of water. The soil should thoroughly soak so that the roots receive enough moisture. It is desirable to water early in the morning or in the evening when the heat has already subsided.

4. Maintain cleanliness around the bushes

Regularly remove fallen leaves, weeds and dry twigs. This not only improves air access to the plant, but also reduces the risk of fungal diseases that often appear at the end of summer.

Roses always respond to care. If you give them a little attention right now, they will continue to decorate the garden with bright flowers for a long time when most other plants are already finishing their season.

And are your roses still blooming abundantly?
