Originally from Persia, the 'Rose de Resht' is one of the historical roses and has enjoyed uninterrupted popularity for over 100 years. This very robust variety blooms tirelessly between the end of May and September and develops a veritable sea of fuchsia-colored, very double flowers. They also give off an extremely intense scent. The vigorous 'Rose de Resht' can be cultivated in a tub.
The bigger the bucket, the happier the 'Rose de Resht'
Roses need a big pot
However, so that your 'Rose de Resht' also feels comfortable in its pot, you should choose a sufficiently large and, above all, high planter. Roses are deep-rooted, i. H. they develop a very deep reaching taproot. Of course, this must have space below, which is why the ideal bucket for the 'Rose de Resht' should be at least 50 centimeters high. In addition to the size, the right material is also important. If possible, choose a planter made of clay or ceramic (but not plastic - certainly not black plastic!) so that the roots cannot heat up on hot summer days.
Essential: Quality substrate and good drainage
In addition, the bucket should have a drainage hole at the bottom so that excess water can drain away. Like all roses, 'Rose de Resht' is very sensitive to waterlogging, so good drainage in the pot is essential. For this purpose, you should cover the bottom of the pot with broken pottery or similar, so that the drain hole does not become silted up and thus clogged. In addition, the plant substrate can be loosened up with clay granules, whereby the addition of coarse sand also works well. In general, you should not skimp on the substrate: Your 'Rose de Resht' will still feel most comfortable in good rose soil.
Caring for pot roses properly
The 'Rose de Resht' is quite undemanding in terms of care, although specimens cultivated in pots naturally require more attention than those planted out. Always water the rose when the substrate has dried on the surface, but do not let the root ball dry out. In addition, fertilize your 'Rose de Resht' regularly with a good organic-mineral rose fertilizer.
tips
The 'Rose de Resht' is considered to be extremely hardy, but pot specimens should be packed well - due to the small amount of substrate in the pot, the roots threaten to freeze quickly.
