Eleven roses stand for "love with all my heart and soul, love till my life".

In China, roses are considered as symbols of assassins and chivalrous men because of their prickly stems. In the west, roses are regarded as a symbol of keeping secrets. When you are a guest, you Sub rosa painted on the table of your host's house, and you understand that everything you talk about on this table can't be spread abroad, so you have the Latin idiom "under the roses". ?

The English word under the rose is derived from German unter der Rosen, the banquet hall, conference room and hotel restaurant in ancient Germany. Roses are often painted or engraved on the ceiling to remind participants to keep their mouths shut and keep secrets, and not to reveal their words and deeds under the roses.

Cultivation methods of roses

1. Soil

Roses like soft and fertile soil, and sandy soil with good drainage performance is recommended. If clay with poor air permeability is used, the nutrients absorbed by the roots are insufficient, which will easily lead to poor growth and unsatisfactory flowering effect.

In case of pot culture, the soil should be changed every other year, and the flowerpots with well-developed roots should also be replaced with larger ones, and the surrounding roots at the bottom of the pots should be pruned to accumulate nutrients for flowering.

2. Moisture

Roses are not resistant to waterlogging, but they like water. When the topsoil is dry, water it to completely soak the basin soil. Be sure to avoid stagnant water, which will cause root rot for a long time.

3. Fertilization

Roses are not very strict about fertilizers, especially when the soil nutrients are sufficient. If the nutrients are insufficient, you can choose a compound fertilizer rich in nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which is generally sold in the market. The amount of topdressing should not be too much, and thin fertilizer can be used.

4. Illumination

The growth of roses needs sunlight, so it is very important to ensure sufficient sunlight. It is best to have direct sunlight for more than 4 hours every day. Leaving it in a place with poor ventilation and light for a long time will cause problems such as yellowing of leaves. The outdoor temperature is too low in winter, so it should be moved indoors by the window for maintenance.
