Nina rose should be planted in the right place, this will ensure the formation of a large number of buds, abundant flowering, and intensive development. The site should be well lit, flowers love the abundance of sunlight. The bushes do not like drafts, gusts of the north wind.
You can't plant a rose in the shade of trees, they will take away not only sunlight, but also nutrients from the soil. The place should be level, slightly hilly, since there is a danger of winds on the hills, and a lot of moisture accumulates in the lowlands. Stagnant water is dangerous due to the death of the rhizome, the development of diseases. A place where roses have previously grown for 10 years is not suitable for planting.
Required temperature, humidity and illumination
Planting a rose bush at the end of May, when the air and earth warms up to 10 degrees Celsius, there will be no night frosts. The hole is prepared in advance, with a diameter of 70 * 70 cm. The rhizome should be placed in it. The hole is filled with a mixture of sand, peat and garden soil with humus in equal proportions. Additionally, you can add bone meal, phosphorus substances to the depression.
Soil composition
The soil must be well-drained and fertile. It is worth avoiding land with a lot of salt, very wetlands. The rose takes root well in slightly acidic, well-fertilized soil or black soil. The acidity should be 5.6-7.3 pH. If the level is high, it is lowered by adding ash or lime, and raised with peat and manure.
Seedling preparation
The rhizome of the planting material is cut evenly, removing very long, rotten, broken parts. Should remain 30 cm in length. The shoots are also pruned, leaving them 35 cm long. Before planting, soak the root system in water for 1 day. Add a Kornevin-type stimulant to it.

- A drainage layer of crushed stone with gravel is laid on the bottom of the pit. Next, there is a layer of compost and humus, connected to fertile soil. The latter will be made of garden soil, covered with a dome. The thickness of each layer should be at least 10 cm.
- If the root system is open, dip it in water for 2 hours before planting.
- When the seedling is grafted, follow the grafting site during the planting process. It is deepened into the ground by 2 cm. This will contribute to the growth of roots, improve the nutrition of the bushes.
- Water the plant abundantly at the root. If the earth settles, add it.
At the end, the root circumference of the bush is mulched with peat.

Sanitary circumcision is performed in the fall and spring. During the procedure, the damaged branches, touched by the fungus, are removed. Shoots growing inside the bush should also be excised, as they create an unwanted shadow.
