給你一粒種子，你能種出小王子心愛的玫瑰嗎

程佳雯

在中國的植物文化中，玫瑰因其枝莖帶刺，被認(rèn)為是“刺客、俠客”的象征。而西方則把玫瑰當(dāng)作嚴(yán)守秘密的象征，短語under the rose在英語中就是“守口如瓶”的意思。不過，玫瑰可不是那么好種的，養(yǎng)起來也頗費(fèi)一番力氣。

怎樣種出美麗的玫瑰呢？今天的文章會告訴你答案。

玫瑰的種植并不是一件簡單的事情，我們需要注意玫瑰的澆水、陽光照射和種植時間等各方面，這樣才可以種植出美麗的玫瑰。

Most kinds of rose plants are native to Asia. But roses also grow in other parts of the world including northwest Africa， Europe and the United States. In 1986， Congress and President Ronald Reagan declared the rose as America？蒺s “national floral （花的） emblem （徽章）”. They proclaimed（宣布） it the national flower， in other words. But whatever the name， the choice of the rose did not smell very sweet to supporters of other popular flowers.

Some say roses are difficult to grow. But you have a better chance of success if you start with a few suggestions from experts. First， choose a place to plant your roses where they can get sunshine for about six hours on bright days. You can buy roses from a garden center or by mail order. You can buy potted roses（盆栽玫瑰）， also known as container roses， or bare-root plants.

Each kind has its fans.

Some gardeners say potted roses are easier to plant. They say the roots develop better if you start with potted roses. But others point out that bare-root roses come without soil， so they weigh less to transport and that can save money. The University of Illinois Extension advises getting bare-root roses as close to planting time as you can. If they arrive before you are ready to plant them， make sure the packing material is moist（濕潤的）. Keep the plants in a cool， dark place.

You plant the roses while they are dormant. The resting plants have no leaves but still need water. When growing roses， the soil should feel moist deep down. Watering should be done in the morning. You can avoid problems like black spot and mildew （霉菌） that way. Be careful not to water roses too much. Too much water can cause unhealthy spot on the leaves. After heavy rains or too much watering， try temporarily pulling away mulch（護(hù)根物） from around the roots， this will help dry the soil. Placing mulch around rose plants is normally a good idea. Mulch suppresses weeds and holds moisture in the soil. You can use mulch made from bark， pine needles， cottonseed or oak （橡樹） leaves. If the soil is very dry， you can add peat （泥煤） or compost （混合肥料） to help condition it. If aphids （蛀牙）， thrips （牧草蟲） or other insects invade your rose bushes， you may be able to force them off with just a strong spray of water.
