INSTRUCTIONS AND PROPHECIES OF THE Blessed MOTHER ALIPIA GOLOSEEVSKY, Kyiv...
Choose the appropriate herbicide. The best remedy there will be herbicides containing glyphosate to kill the wild rose, but beware of the herbicide's effect on plants you don't intend to kill.
- Some herbicides remain in the soil for a long time, so take their choice seriously, especially if you plan to plant something in this place soon.
- Make sure the herbicide you choose works on woody plants.
If possible, get rid of wild roses at the end of summer. Exactly this best time for applying herbicides to wild rose bushes. It is always best to remove shrubs before they develop berries (late summer or fall).
- Choose a day without wind so that the chemicals are not carried by the wind. Try also to choose a dry day when the weather forecast does not promise rain so that the herbicides are not washed away by rain.
- It is recommended not to dig up the plants in winter as the ground is harder in winter.
Follow the instructions for applying the herbicide of your choice. It is best to read the instructions for the type of herbicide you purchased and follow the instructions in that instruction. But in most cases, when applying a herbicide, you can use the following principles:
- Securely protect other plants and the ground, possibly with a plastic film. Wear protective clothing and gloves, use goggles. Keep children and animals away from the herbicide application site.
- Spray the shrub with chemicals, making sure that the base of the shrub and its trunk are well saturated. The effect of the application will be visible in a few weeks. Repeat if necessary.
If you need to get rid of wild roses in winter, use a herbicide that works against stumps. Some herbicides are sold as stump control. They work best during the colder months when the plants are not sap flowing (usually from November to March).
- Using a stump herbicide, trim the branches, then cut the main stem of the shrub down to a few inches off the ground. Treat fresh wood cuts with herbicide.
- This method only works when applied to live wood, so if the shrub is already dead, or if the trunk you are treating is brown and withered, then the herbicide won't be able to kill the rest of the shrub.
- You may need to make holes in the trunk to pour the herbicide in if you don't get what you want the first time.
Wait a few weeks before digging up a dead rose bush. Herbicides kill the plant completely, including the roots, so that it cannot grow back even if the roots remain in the soil. However, do not remove the bush for several weeks to ensure that the chemicals have penetrated into root system plants.
- You'll probably want to dig up the dead plant so you don't trip over a stump and spoil the view of the yard.
- Since a dead stump decomposes slowly in the soil, you will want to dig it up so that other plants can be planted in the same place. With a pickaxe, you can remove the root collar and stump from the ground a few weeks after applying the herbicide.
