Bonsai Rose

Family

Rosaceae

Origin

The miniature rose bushes that are grown in bonsai come from the western parts of China, with a temperate climate, although there are many wild varieties of rose bushes of European origin

Situation

In an outdoor Mediterranean climate area, in full sun throughout the year. In winter, if it freezes, they usually lose their leaves. In areas with a continental climate, it is convenient to protect rose bushes from extreme frosts (temperatures below zero for several days). For the rose bushes to bloom we must place them in full sun, in semi-shade they bloom much less

Irrigation

It is important to control irrigation well and avoid excessive waterlogging. That is why between watering and watering it is convenient to let the surface layer of the substrate dry. The rose bushes prefer a slight dryness than the flooded soils, in addition, if we water too much they will bloom much less

Subscriber

Transplant

TERRABONSAI by MISTRAL. After transplanting, it is advisable to water with a MISTRAL VITABONSAI solution, to accelerate the recovery of the tree

SUBSTRATUM

Rose bushes form a large number of roots, so it is advisable to transplant them at most every two years, although if they live in very small pots it is advisable to transplant them every year, at the end of winter

PRUNING

The rose bushes are pruned at the end of winter, during the months of February and March. Pruning is very convenient to renew the vigor of the branches

GRIPPING

From April to October, when the shoots get too long. When they bloom profusely, the branches slow down their growth. It is convenient to cut the roses after flowering

WIRING

It can be wired with aluminum wire, although pruning is often enough to easily form them

Curiosities

Miniature rose bushes are very showy, and the scent of roses is very mild. They are very easy to grow bonsai, which are often used to accompany bonsai in presentations. Remember, if you water them too much they will flower less.
