IPrezentare
Prezentare
Rosa sericea, roșii din Himalaya (Himalayan Rose), este un arbust decidu nativ în zonele montane ale Assamului, China Centrală-Sud, Estul lui Himalaya, Myanmar, Nepal, Tibet și Vestul lui Himalaya. Această plantă se dezvoltă în soare direct sau semisomn și preferă suștei umede care pot fi ușoare (sândal), medii sau grele (argil). Foarte rezistentă de la zonele 5-9, crește până la 2 m de înălțime. Cunoscut pentru fructele și semințele sale edibile, Rosa sericea este atât ornamentală cât și utilă ca surse de alimentare în zona sa nativă. O caracteristică distinctivă a acestei plante este nevoia lor de lumină; deși poate tolera semisomn, condițiile de soare direct sunt ideale pentru creșterea sale și producția fructelor.

Cultivare
Rosa sericea se dezvoltă în soare direct sau semisomn și preferă suștei umede care pot fi ușoare (sândal), medii sau grele (argil). Este rezistentă de la zonele 5-9 și crește până la 2 m de înălțime. Pentru propagația, puteți folosi semințe. Asigurați-vă că plantă are o aplicație adecvată a apei, mai presus de toate când suștea nu este umed natural. Datorită habitatului său nativ în zone temperatice, ar adapta bine la climaturile similare, dar poate necesita unele protecții în timp ce se confruntă cu ghearele extreme sau caldura.
