For planting, a weed-free area is selected, leveled, possibly on a small hill, where there is a lot of light, heat, there is a protective barrier from gusty winds and drafts. Experienced growers recommend planting in the southern part of the garden, flower beds, beds, since the French rose shrub needs abundant sun and is very susceptible to shade. It is important not to plant roses next to large trees, which can take all the nutrients from the soil and create shade.

Flowers grow comfortably in light, fluffy, moist, fertile and breathable soils. In addition, the plant needs a good drainage system and also does not tolerate overly acidic soils. To prevent decay of the roots, which penetrate very deeply into the soil, you should choose a place with a buried passage of groundwater. In swampy soil with excessive dampness, roses will not grow.

A rose is grown by cultivating seedlings, the rhizomes of which are pretreated with a growth stimulant. Planting is carried out in pre-prepared pits, where drainage is provided, as well as a layer of fertilizers. Deepening of the root collar is permissible by 3-5 cm, no more. After the procedure for planting seedlings, the soil is compacted a little and watered with warm water.

The agricultural technology of the French rose is standard - watering, fertilizing, gentle loosening, weeding, sanitary pruning of bushes, prevention of infections and insect infestations. In addition, it is recommended to shelter plantings for the winter, as well as light mulching.

Rose Ambiance, like most of its relatives, needs good watering. Watering with warm or settled water is recommended in extreme heat 3 times a week, and during the rainy season one is enough. Water is introduced gently, at the root.

It is necessary to feed roses twice a season. In the spring, nitrogen fertilizers need to be applied, and in the summer, the plant needs phosphorus-potassium complexes, which contribute to the development and flowering of rose bushes.

The plant needs two basic pruning. In early spring, shoots that have frozen over the winter are removed, as well as shortening. You need to cut the shoots so tightly that a length of about 10-15 cm remains. Only 2-3 buds are left on the shoots. In the summertime, it is advisable to make sure that no wilted rosebuds remain on the bushes, which interfere with the opening of other buds. Sanitary pruning is performed in autumn. At this moment, diseased and damaged parts of the bush are removed, and, if necessary, careful thinning of the bushes is carried out.

Despite their high frost resistance, rose bushes need reliable protection in winter. This is especially important for regions with severe and little snowy winters. After the autumn pruning, the bushes are covered with dense agrofibre, which is removed in early spring. Experienced florists recommend building a strong frame over pink plantings, and pulling a film or agrofiber. In addition, good mulching can serve as protection against freezing, in which spruce branches or peat can be used. The layer of mulch is also removed in the spring.

The flower crop has a very strong immune system that protects the plant from many fungal infections. The French rose is vulnerable only to powdery mildew, which sometimes gets sick. Fungal infection occurs when agricultural practices are violated or when excessive moisture is present. It is extremely rare for planting roses to be attacked by spider mites and leaf rollers.
