  1. Valentina Prokopova, Moscow region

    I dream of planting a standard rose in the garden. The sellers assure that in the Moscow region she will winter well if she is wrapped in several layers of lutrasil in November. Is it so?

      As practice shows, simply wrapping standing bushes even in 10 layers of lutrasil is not enough. For a successful wintering, the plant must be bent to the ground. So that the bush does not break, it is undermined from three sides, and then tilted.

      It is not necessary to bend the rose to the very ground, it is enough to fix the trunk with arcs at a height of 40-50 cm. You should get a tunnel for further shelter. Next, cover the shoots. For these purposes, dry foliage of trees is well suited. Having overlaid it with the roots of roses and the stems pressed to the ground, lutrasil folded in three layers is thrown on top. They press it with something heavy so that it does not blow away with the wind, and in this form they leave the rose to spend the winter.
      It is even easier to ensure a successful wintering if you plant a standard rose in a large container, and in the fall bring it into a room with a temperature of -5 ... + 20C.
