**🔥 УКРЫВАЮ НА ЗИМУ ТОЛЬКО ТАК! Как утеплить розы и гортензии — Transcript & Summary | SozAI** Source: https://sozai.app/transcript/how-to-winterize-roses-hydrangeas/ Learn how to effectively winterize roses, hydrangeas, and other tender plants using spunbond, branches, soil, peat, and pest prevention tips. ## Key Takeaways - Spunbond with a frame is the most effective winter cover for tender plants. - Combining natural materials like branches and peat with spunbond enhances protection. - Avoid materials that retain moisture excessively or attract pests. - Pre-treat plants with pest deterrents to prevent damage during winter. - Proper winterization extends plant health and reduces frost damage risks. ## What the video covers - Spunbond (lutrasil) with a density of 60g+ is the best covering material for winter protection but requires a frame. - Coniferous branches provide about 80% protection but do not retain heat; combining branches with spunbond improves effectiveness. - Mounding soil around the base offers 75% protection but risks moisture saturation and rotting during prolonged rains. - Dry peat moss is antiseptic and protects twigs from rotting, especially when combined with branches and spunbond. - Sawdust offers about 70% effectiveness and delays bud awakening, which can protect against late frosts. - Fallen leaves rot quickly and lose insulating properties unless topped with spunbond; oak and maple leaves are preferable. - Avoid black spunbond, straw, polyethylene film, and dried stems due to heat fluctuations, rodent attraction, and poor insulation. - Use pest deterrents like Quadrosanit, Myshibalo, and Trihasan before covering plants to prevent rodent damage and fungal infections. - Proper winter covering prevents drying frosts, temperature swings, and ensures healthy plant survival through winter. - Combining scientific data with personal experience leads to optimal winter plant protection strategies. Answers ## Questions about this video What is the best material to cover roses and hydrangeas for winter? Spunbond or lutrasil with a density of 60 g or higher is the best material, especially when used with a frame to protect plants from frost and temperature swings. Can I use fallen leaves to cover my plants for winter? Fallen leaves rot and lose insulating properties quickly, so they should be topped with spunbond to prevent wind damage and improve insulation. Oak and maple leaves are better choices due to their tannin content. How can I prevent pests from damaging my plants under winter covers? Before covering, sprinkle pest deterrents like Quadrosanit, Myshibalo, and Trihasan around the plants to scare away rodents and protect against fungal infections. ## Full Transcript — Download SRT & Markdown 00:01 Speaker A Although our roses are still quite lovely in mid-October, the time is not far off when we will have to cover them for the winter. And along with them, weigelas, heat-loving bigleaf hydrangeas—if you aren't moving them into a basement—and many other tender plants, even young blueberry plantings. What is the best thing to cover them with? Combining strict scientific data and my own personal experience, I can say the following. One of the best covering materials is spunbond or lutrasil. A dense, non-woven white material with a density of 60 g or higher. But it has one drawback. In order for spunbond to work well, you must build a frame over the bushes. These could be sticks, more complex or even metal structures, crates, and so on. If you have the opportunity to take an ordinary plastic crate and cover your roses or other plants with it, then stretch spunbond over the top, that would be simply wonderful, because it will perfectly protect your roses and plants from drying frosts and all kinds of temperature swings. If you don't have the option to build a frame, let's move on. If we take the effectiveness of spunbond as 100%, then the effectiveness of coniferous branches, which takes second place, is about 80%. Unfortunately, unlike spunbond, it does not retain heat inside the cover in any way. However, in a good snowy winter, it wonderfully protects our bushes from severe frosts and temperature fluctuations. Yet, for the cover to work at 100%, it is a good idea to cover the branches with a layer of spunbond on top. This can already be done without any frame at all. And such a double structure—branches plus spunbond—will ensure the absolutely wonderful preservation of your plants. If chopping down small fir trees isn't your thing, then take the base of the bush and mound it up with the same ordinary soil in which these plants are growing. This will provide 75% of the effectiveness of a frame covered with dense spunbond. However, soil has one disadvantage. During prolonged rains, it becomes very saturated with moisture, and as a result, there are risks of rotting or the buds becoming waterlogged. But that doesn't happen often. I like the method of mounding with soil. Similar to the soil mounding method is mounding with dry peat moss. It has a slight antiseptic effect and, by itself, protects the twigs from rotting. It also gets wet. However, it gets wet much more slowly, simply because it is dry to begin with. If you pile on peat, then cover it with branches and top it off with spunbond, you will have an excellent cover under which even the most finicky hydrangeas will winter perfectly. You might ask: "But what about my beloved sawdust?" Sawdust provides about 70% effectiveness. However, I would compare it to spunbond in terms of effectiveness. It is given nearly 70% in scientific publications because it also wets easily and creates a heavy ice layer in the spring. And because of this "glacier," the buds and bushes wake up quite late. However, living in Belarus, in the Northwestern region, I can say that this is not a disadvantage, but a great advantage, because it delays vegetation and allows young shoots to avoid late frosts. Just take and cover them with any sawdust from any wood species. But what about, you might ask, the most popular method, namely fallen leaves? They are certainly good, but they get wet very quickly. They rot, compact, and their insulating properties are lost very quickly by February, which is exactly when our plants become most vulnerable. For fallen leaves to actually work, first, cover the top with spunbond after piling on the leaves. This will help prevent them from being blown away by winds, and will reinforce the whole covering, making it much better. And secondly, choose tree species, leaves from such trees as, for example, oak or maple. They contain a large amount of tannins and do not get mushy as quickly as other leaves. Something that is very unsuitable for covering the garden is black spunbond. It heats up even in winter in the sun, and the temperature fluctuations between day and night are too dramatic for roses or other plants to survive well. Therefore, avoid covering with black spunbond. Also, a very unsuccessful, albeit very tempting, way to cover your plants for the winter is using all sorts of faded stems of perennials, as well as summer flowers. Besides the fact that hordes of spider mites and various diseases and pests overwinter on them, they also have very weak insulating properties. Also avoid covering with straw. Straw is the main magnet for rodents in your garden. So avoid straw. And, of course, do not use polyethylene film. It doesn't breathe, and everything underneath will rot. When creating winter plant covers, remember that any cover is also a shelter for hordes of various pests, diseases, slugs, and many, many others who ruin our mood during the next season. For this reason, before covering your plants for the winter, take a teaspoon of a product like Quadrosanit. Sprinkle a little bit around like this. Also take a product like Myshibalo, preferably the green one, also a teaspoon. This will scare rodents away from your garden and this cover. There will be no nests or damage there. And also take a teaspoon of a product like Trihasan. And this will fully save your plants from damping off, bark peeling, and damage from fungal infections during this season under the cover. If you do this, you won't need to spray or treat your plants with anything before sending them to rest for the winter. They will all winter perfectly. See you soon. 00:18 Speaker A plants, even young blueberry plantings. What is the best thing to cover them with?
