Is Xinxiang sandy land suitable for growing roses?

Xinxiang sandy land is not suitable for growing roses. Although sandy soil is loose and breathable, it is not suitable for the growth of roses.

Analysis and explanation:

Sandy soil refers to the soil mixed with more than 80% sand and less than 20% clay.

This kind of soil has loose soil, good water permeability and air permeability, but poor water and fertilizer retention ability.

Roses like sunny, cold-resistant and drought-tolerant, and loose and fertile loam or light loam with good drainage. They don't grow well in clay loam, and they don't bloom well.

Loam refers to the soil with moderate content of clay, silt and sand in soil particle composition.

The texture is between clay and sand, and it has the advantages of both clay and sand. It has good air permeability, water permeability, water retention and heat preservation, and is an ideal agricultural soil.

Therefore, sandy soil is not suitable for the growth and cultivation of roses.

Growth habits of roses:

Roses like sunny, cold-resistant and drought-tolerant, and loose and fertile loam or light loam with good drainage. They don't grow well in clay loam, and they don't bloom well.

It should be planted in a well-ventilated place away from the wall to prevent sunlight from reflecting, burning the bud and affecting flowering.

Roses are masculine plants, which are rich in color and fragrance in sunny conditions.

If the sunshine is less than 8 hours in the growing season, it will grow white without flowering.

The requirement for air humidity is not strict, and rust and powdery mildew will occur at low temperature and high humidity; The flowering period requires the air to have a certain humidity; When drying at high temperature, the oil yield will decrease.

Roses do not require high pH value of soil, and can grow normally from slightly acidic soil to slightly alkaline soil.

In winter, snow-covered areas can tolerate the low temperature of -38℃ to -40℃, and areas without snow can tolerate the low temperature of -25℃ to -30℃, but they can't tolerate the dry wind in early spring.

In areas with unfrozen soil and windy ground, branches are often blown dry by the wind; If the soil has been thawed and the roots continuously transport water and nutrients to the stems, the wind will not cause serious damage.

Areas with dryness greater than 4 need irrigation conditions to develop normally.

Culture type:

One is pruning. This method requires high pruning technology, slow flowering, high yield and low proportion of commercial flowers.

The second is the branch pressing method. The requirements for pruning techniques are not high, the flowers bloom quickly, the yield is low and the quality of flowers is good.

Planting method:

There is no strict restriction on planting time, and it can be planted all year round, with the best in spring and autumn.

When planting, plant 2 rows per border, with the row spacing of 40cm and the plant spacing of10 ~12cm.

The distance between the two sides of the cultivation bed is 40 cm, with an average of 7-8 plants /m2, and the seedling protection is about 63,000 plants /hm2.

Different varieties have different planting densities.
