It is desirable to calculate so that in the afternoon the bush is not in direct sunlight. It should be borne in mind that Pomponella does not like roses when there are groundwater nearby, so she needs good drainage or landing on a hill.

The landing site is best prepared for weeks 2-3 before the planting of the rose. To do this, manure and organic fertilizers should be introduced into the soil. Dredge the shovel on the bayonet. On the old place to plant bushes is not worth it, because the soil there, as a rule, is already depleted. If necessary, the old layer of 50-70 cm should be removed and poured a layer of fresh earth.

The planting process requires certain rules:

1. Prepare the 30 x 30 cm wells.
2. Make inside each of them a small mound, in order to gently place the roots on it and not damage them, falling asleep with the seedling in the ground.
3. Place the plant so that the place of grafting was 3 cm below the edge of the hole and very gently filled with soil. Fertilization in the planting pit does not make!
4. The earth round the seedling is carefully compacted.
5. Make the land boundary so that the water does not spread, and water it.
6. Seedling must be about 15 cm. Leave the top 2-3 cm. This is a very effective protection against frost and wind.

Rosa Pomponella loves moisture, but does not tolerate surplus water. Water it is rarely, but abundant. Closer to the fall watering cut. To water a rose only around the roots. Do not use a strong jet of water, which can spill out the soil on the leaves. This can lead to a bush disease.

In the year of planting, Pomponella's rose does not fertilize. She is fed one year after the landing. Shrubs do not need mineral fertilizers. It is enough to feed with liquid organic fertilizers. In subsequent years it will be necessary to make mineral and organic fertilizers for the season 6-7 times.
