Note! In the south, bushes can be planted in the fall, from September 15 to October 15.

Pruning and transplanting
In spring, shoots are cut off radically, leaving no more than 3 buds. During the summer, cut stems with faded buds. In the autumn, branches that do not have time to mature are removed. Cutting is done with a sharp tool at an angle of 45 °. Transplanted bushes in spring or autumn in pre-prepared pits.
Feature winter flower
In autumn, foliage and other plant debris are removed from the trunk circle, then they hum the bush with humus. Fertilizer will warm the root system in winter. If necessary, make a wire frame on which to cover the covering material. They cover roses only after steady frost sets in.
Flowering roses
Bushes bloom several times during the season. During flowering, as well as after it, careful care of plants is required. With proper agricultural technology, a second wave of flowering will quickly ensue.
Period of activity and rest
Black rose blooms in June, which lasts for 2-3 weeks. Then comes a short dormant period, after which the next wave of flowering sets in. After the faded buds begin to fade, they must be removed. On the remaining shoots, sleeping side buds will wake up, from which new flowers will quickly grow.
Care during and after flowering
During flowering, bushes require watering, pruning, top dressing, mulching. Be sure to remove weed grass, which, rapidly growing, can drown roses. In addition, weeds are carriers of diseases and pests. After flowering, the shoots are cut so that the bushes begin to bloom faster.
What to do if it does not bloom, possible causes
Black Baccara roses may not bloom for several reasons, the main ones are:
- The bush is planted this year. This is a normal occurrence: the seedling must first take root well, then there will be abundant flowering.
- Incorrect pruning. If you cut the stems too low in the spring, the first flowering wave may not occur. We'll have to wait until autumn, during this period the rose will grow stronger and buds will grow.
- Improper care. If the bushes are not watered on time, fertilized, or prevented from spraying with diseases and pests, the rose may weaken. With the resumption of care, the plant increases immunity, it begins to bloom.
- The formation of root shoots. If during planting the rose is not buried by 3-5 centimeters, a shoot can begin to form, taking moisture and food from the bush. If it does form, it is cut as close to the root system as possible.
Note! When working with roses, you need to use a sharp disinfected tool.

- shoots are cut with a length of 15 centimeters at an angle of 45 °;
- places of slices are dusted in a powder of a growth enhancer;
- a layer of drainage is poured into the container, then fertile, loose soil;
- the cuttings are placed in the ground, lightly watered, the container is covered with a film.
The grown bushes are planted on the site next year.
Layering
In addition, the rose can be propagated by layering. To do this, they are bent to the ground, fixed with studs. The place of contact of the stem with the soil is kept moist. When roots and young shoots appear on the layer, it is separated from the mother plant, young bushes are planted separately.
Cuttings are cut into pieces with a length of 15 centimeters
