- layering.
Planting a new plant can be done by budding.
What time is the landing
Planting seedlings and seedlings obtained from seeds are done in April or May. You can use cuttings, layering as they root. It should be borne in mind that before the onset of winter, they should take root in a permanent place.
Location selection
This plant is picky about the composition of the soil. He needs loam in which air and water have free access to the roots. Earth must be saturated with humus.
Rosa Niccolo Paganini prefers good lighting, but direct sunlight can cause leaf burns on the petals.

Rose may suffer from excessive waterlogging. This is one of the reasons why you should not plant it in a lowland where rainfall can accumulate. Avoid places where groundwater is too close to the surface. A suitable place for landing would be elevated areas.
How to prepare the soil and flower for planting
When planting, you need to prepare a pit with a diameter of 50 and a depth of 60 cm. It is recommended to put a drainage layer on the bottom. For this purpose, gravel, small pebbles or gravel can be used. The thickness of this layer should be at least 10 cm.
When planting, it is necessary to supply the plant with nutrients: compost or manure. Its layer should be approximately 10 cm.

Landing procedure step by step
At the bottom of the prepared pit, a small mound of garden soil is poured. When planting, the roots of the seedling are carefully spread on its sides. It is necessary to pour so much soil so that the root neck is 3-4 cm below the ground. After this, the soil is recommended to be slightly compacted.

When produced
Cuttings need to be cut in early spring, and planting in open ground should be done in April or May. When planting seeds, seedlings are also planted in late spring.
Reproduction by layering is done after they take root and are separated from the mother plant.
Cuttings
For harvesting cuttings, you need to choose a suitable lignified shoot. It is necessary to cut a piece of it 8-10 cm long from it. In this case, the upper incision is made in the perpendicular direction, and the lower one - at an angle of 45 degrees.
The edges must be treated with phyto-solution. Cuttings are placed in such a way that the bottom edge is in the water. After the roots appear, it will be necessary to transplant them into the ground and cover with a film. They will need to be regularly watered, loosen the soil and remove the film for ventilation.
Important! After the cuttings take root and leaves begin to appear on them, it will be possible to plant in a permanent place.
Seeds
Seeds should be placed for 20 minutes in a solution of hydrogen peroxide. Then they need to be put in the refrigerator for two months.
During this period they will need to germinate. After that, they are placed in peat pots or in plastic cups with earth. The surface must be sprinkled with perlite.
It is necessary to provide moderate and regular watering, long daylight hours (at least 10 hours). Two months later, buds will appear on the sprouts. After that, they can be transplanted into the open ground.
Layering
When using layering, you need to select one of the shoots and bury its area in the ground, after removing a little bark. The depth of the pit should be 10 cm.
The remainder of the shoot is tied to a peg. Layers should be watered regularly. When it takes root, it is disconnected from the mother plant and planted in a permanent place.
Okulirovany
To carry out budding on a rose bush, an incision is made and a small piece of the branch of the mother plant is attached to it. They wrap it with tape and leave it for a period not exceeding a month. During this time, he must take root. This procedure is considered complex, and it is usually used only by experienced growers.
Diseases, pests and ways to combat them
Rosaceous aphids can attack the Paganini variety. To detect this, you need to make a weekly inspection of rose bushes. If an insect was found, it can be collected by hand, and the branches affected by it should be washed. If the infection is significant, you can spray with Rogor or Actellik.
Important! In order to detect spider mites in time, regular inspection of the bushes is required. In hot weather, it can be prevented by regularly spraying the leaves with clean water.
If necessary, you can use insecticides Isofren, Acrex or DDT.
This rose variety can be planted separately or as part of a flower arrangement. Its unique beauty will make the bush the center of attention.
