Grow dog rose

Dog rose is a widespread shrub in the wild in Europe and Asia. It can commonly be found on the sides of country roads or at the edge of the woods. It has a sarmentose habit and can reach up to 5 meters in height. The branches are arched; the leaves are composed of 5-7 ovate and toothed leaflets, medium opaque green. It blooms in late spring from leaf axils. The corollas are composed of 5 petals, generally light pink (but there are also sub species and mutations in white and red). In autumn there is also the production of glossy red rose hips, with an elongated shape, that contain seeds.
There cultivation of the canine is not very common: often other types of roses are preferred, more showy and from the more lasting and repeated flowering. It must however be said that it can be used to obtain beautiful and impenetrable field hedges, alone or in combination with other shrubs. In addition, the berries produced are used for culinary purposes, as well as attracting a large number of pretty birds during the cold season.

Land, exposure and climate

Like all roses it prefers a deep, rich and fresh soil, with a good quantity of clay and organic matter. However, it often turns out to be very adaptable and grows well even on forest land or on lighter soils.
Exposure
The ideal is to place it in partial shade or in the East, especially where the summers are very hot and dry. If we live in the North or in mountainous areas, we will endure the full sun very well.
Climate
The dog rose absolutely does not fear the cold: it can withstand even -20 ° C very well. It can therefore be cultivated with tranquility even up to 1200 meters s.l.m. Instead, we pay a little attention if we live in a very hot climate: let's follow it more with irrigation and position it where there is more shade

Irrigation and fertilization

Irrigation
These shrubs, if well stamped, do not need irrigation: they are in fact equipped with very deep taproot roots. We follow the recently planted plants only during the first vintage. We intervene sometimes during the summer only if we live in the Center-South and our soil is light and draining.
Composting
It is not strictly necessary. It is however useful to distribute, in autumn, a good quantity of chaff manure at the foot of the bush, to be incorporated then at the arrival of spring. For a greater flowering it is possible to resort, towards March, to a few handfuls of granular slow release fertilizer, particularly endowed with potassium.

How and where to plant the wild rose

The planting, for bare-rooted plants, is preferably done in autumn, but it is also possible to operate at the end of winter. Potted plants can be transplanted at any time of year, but autumn is always ideal.
How to proceed?
We dig a deep hole twice as wide as the vase. We add seasoned manure to the bottom and then the earth bread. We cover, compact well and irrigate abundantly.

Pruning

Dog rose does not need this type of intervention: it should be allowed to grow while maintaining its natural shape as much as possible. We can intervene at the end of winter to eliminate dead or compromised branches.
If instead we want to reduce the size it is good to prune (not excessively) after the end of flowering (June-July). In this way we will not totally lose the flowering in the following year as it occurs on old branches.

Pests and diseases of the dog rose

It is very robust. It is usually attacked by aphids, but rarely weakens it.
Sometimes on the leaves can appear some galls, caused by wasps. Punctuation is also common.

Dog rose infusion: Propagation of dog rose

This shrub can be multiplied by sowing, cutting or offshoots.
The cutting can be done on woody or semi-woody branches, starting in July, in a very light compound always kept moist.
The offshoot often occurs naturally: the plant tends to bury part of its arched branches, which then will root (and can then be harvested). In the same way, root suckers can be taken.
To obtain seedlings through seeding, instead, it is necessary to proceed with vernalization, that is by keeping the seeds in a cold and damp environment for several months. They will then be transferred to the final compound around March, where they will develop. These seedlings are produced on a large scale by nurseries as they are used as rootstocks for most other ornamental roses.
