 Fertilization Rosa gallica : During autumnal months let’s diminish the fertilizations to medicinal plants; if we’re treating perennial plants, as the cold temperatures arrive, we should add some organic fertilizer which will be used by the plants until spring arrives. Exposure Rosa gallicacontinental : plant which needs to be exposed to direct sunrays. The Rosa gallica is a rustic plant, which doesn’t tolerate the winter cold, even when the nocturnal temperatures are very low. alpine : Let's locate the the Rosa gallica in a very luminous place, preferably sunny. The Rosa gallica can stand the cold, therefore it can be grown outdoors year round. mediterranean : These plants favour sunny exposures, where they can enjoy, even for the whole day, some direct solar rays. Grow the The Rosa gallica in the garden, in full ground; it can stand the cold. Watering Rosa gallicacontinental : Let’s water every 1-2 weeks with 3-4 glasses of water, or even more often if the weather is hot and dry; we should always try to keep the ground slightly damp. alpine : Water regularly, every 2-3 weeks, wetting the soil thoroughly by using 2-3 glasses of water and keeping it always a bit moist, although avoiding to soak it too much. mediterranean : For a balanced development these plants need constant and abundant dampness; during this time of year it is good to water frequently, about 4-5 glasses of water at least every 0-1 weeks. Treatments Rosa gallica : During the cold months many pathogens spend the winter in the ground, at the feet of our plants; let’s treat the plants struck by black spot disease or by leaf curl disease with particular attention by applying a wide-range anticryptogamic treatment, to vaporize even on the ground. Let’s gather and destroy the leaves of the sick plants. |
