To be honest, my knowledge about the world’s flora and fauna is quite limited, so I think I can not give an in-depth answer about a crucial stage in the development of a plant. However, my father has green fingers and often shares with me some knowledge about plants, so I think I will talk about the flowering stage of roses, the type of plants I love most.

 

Roses bloom in cycles. The weeks between the time you cut the rose and the time it blooms again constitutes one bloom cycle. Generally, roses bloom in 6 to 8 week cycles, and a few require even less time. If you want roses for a particular rose show, you will want to look at a calendar, count back about 7 to 8 weeks, and cut your rose bushes on a date that falls 7 to 8 weeks before that rose show date. In this time, you also have to fertilize the roses with nitrogen so that they can develop quickly and strongly.

 

After 7-8 weeks, the first thing you notice is that the new foliage will be about 2 inch long, sprays will appear, and then the stems set buds. It takes 2 more weeks for the roses to bloom, when the buds are large and sepals have cracked.

 

I  often  wait  for  the  roses  to  bloom  as  I  find  it  very  exciting.  Watching  them  in  full  bloom gives me a sense of achievement, and I have the feeling that I am a talented gardener.
