Description
Culvita Rose Soil has been specially formulated as an addition to planting holes for garden, patio and pot roses.
What is this suitable for:
Culvita Rose soil can be used for all roses. Roses are woody plants and for that reason need a soil that is somewhat fungus-dominant. In a somewhat more fungus-dominated soil, the nutrients for the rose plants are more easily available. The fungus dominance also makes the rose bush less susceptible to diseases. This rose soil contains organically bound nutrients for roses, which cannot be washed away and remain available to the rose for a season.
What not suitable for:
There are no restrictions on the use of Culvita Rose Soil.
Features:
Culvita Rose Soil is a mixture of garden peat, peat moss peat, clay and high-quality humus compost. In addition to an organic basic fertilizer and lime, it contains RhizoPlus. RhizoPlus is a mixture of mycorrhiza and other rhizosphere bacteria and fungi. By adding RhizoPlus, the absorption of food and water will start faster and easier. In addition, RhizoPlus promotes the natural balance.
Application:
Planting shrub roses in the garden:
This bag contains enough rose soil for 5 rose bushes. Dig a large planting hole the size of a 10 litre bucket. Roses are sometimes supplied without a root ball and in this case should be placed with their roots in a bucket of water for some time (2 hours) in order to absorb them properly. Place the rose with its roots in the planting hole and fill the planting hole with the Culvita Rose Soil. By shaking the bush slightly while filling it with the rose soil, all the roots come into good contact with the soil particles. Water generously, but prevent water from remaining in the planting hole. Fill the rest of the planting hole – if necessary – with the excavated soil. Continue to water regularly during the first year after planting. The roots must be given the opportunity to establish themselves in the subsoil and to connect to the groundwater.
Part of the roots, the “feeder roots”, establish themselves in the upper layer and will be used by the plant to take up nutrients that are mineralized (released) in the upper layer. Be careful not to damage the feeder roots by hoeing and/or raking between the bushes.
Patio and pot roses
These plants are usually delivered in pots. Moisten the root ball well and knock the plant out of the pot. If you want to repot them in a larger pot or planter, make sure the new pot is clean. If the pot is unglazed, first let it soak up water well.
If necessary, place a few potsherds on the bottom hole. It is recommended to place some Culvita Hydro grains as a drainage layer at the bottom of the pot. Fill the new pot or planter with the Culvita Rose soil and plant the rose bushes without damaging the roots. Water generously but make sure that no water remains in the pot. Roses in pots or containers must be watered regularly during the growing and flowering season. If you want to plant a pot or patio rose in the garden, follow the instructions for shrub roses in the garden.
