The decorative perennial is demanding on the quality of the soil. It should be planted in loose, moderately moist, fertile soil with a slightly acidic reaction and good drainage. It is in such a substrate that the culture will grow well and bloom luxuriantly. A planting hole is prepared in advance. It should be deep enough so that the roots of the seedling can be freely located in the hole. It is advisable to add organic fertilizer to the planting pit: compost or rotted manure. Floribunda is planted in the spring, while the root collar should be 4-5 cm below the soil level.

With the arrival of spring, when the buds begin to swell on the plant, it is fed with saltpeter. In the budding phase, preference is given to fertilizer with a large amount of phosphorus in the composition. After the first flowering, phosphorus-potassium concentrate is added. Finally, in late autumn, the plant is fed with potash fertilizer.

The timely pruning of Remy Martin should not be neglected. This procedure is indicated for a decorative perennial from the third year of life. In the spring, weak and dead shoots are harvested, and up to 9 stems are left from the strong ones.In the fall, all the branches of the plant are cut off somewhat, then the rose is covered with dry earth and covered for the winter.
