How to take care of roses and rose plants

A group of around 200 people attended a daylong workshop organized by the Horticultural Society, Jamshedpur, at Tata Steel Zoological Society. Expert tips were given by one of the leading rose producers of eastern India who is managing director of Jakpur-based Puspanjali Nursery in Bengal.
The nursery was established in 1978 and boasts of over 3,000 varieties of roses, grown over 18 acres. The firm is one among the largest suppliers of the flower in eastern India.
This has been reported in telegraphindia.com dated 11 September 2016.

Some of the salient points that emerged in the course of the workshop are - (i) roses should be planted in well-drained and fertile soil during spring at a spot that gets at least six hours of sunlight (ii) rose plants should be protected from high temperature and humidity, which damage them, especially in August-September and (iii) this can be done by hardening the plants with chemicals like super phosphate of potash besides fungicides and insecticides.
General secretary of the Tata Steel Zoological Society has assured to conduct similar workshops on other household plants like jasmine, gloxinia, lily, begonia, maple and anthurium. In order to do this, they would invite experts from across India who would provide insights into new methods of cultivation and care.
