We have taken them into consideration
separately due to special interest they arise in comparison
with other trees, nevertheless they are shrubs too and need
the same growing cares. During the weeding it is necessary
to remove not only the weeds but also the wild buds growing
below the grafting point as they steal the lymph from cultivated
branches. They are easily recognizable due to their shape
and their colour. The buds have to be removed at its base,
if necessary by taking away the soil to reach them, otherwise
they will grow again very soon. First pruning has to be made
just before the shrub gemmates, at the beginning of the season,
leaving the few best branches (3-4) with 3-4 or more burgeons
depending on the strength of the plant. It is also better
to remove the old, diseased branches leaving the young and
healthy ones. Second pruning concerns, most of all, the flourishing
again species and is consisting in the pruning of withered
flowers together with 1 or 2 leaves below them. Close to the
left bourgeons new flowers will open. Rose-bushes have to
be treated with anti-parasites more than other shrubs as they
are particularly subject to insect pests like aphids, acarus,
oidium and so on.
