這里是美國(guó)之音慢速英語(yǔ)農(nóng)業(yè)報(bào)道.
Most kinds of rose plants come from Asia. But roses are also native to other areas including northwest Africa, Europe and the United States.
大多數(shù)玫瑰品種來自亞洲。但是非洲西北部，歐洲和美國(guó)等其他地區(qū)也有本土玫瑰.
In nineteen eighty-six, the U.S. Congress chose the rose as America's national flower. Technically, Congress and President Ronald Reagan declared it the "national floral emblem." Whatever the name, the decision did not smell sweet to lovers of other flowers.
1986年，美國(guó)國(guó)會(huì)把玫瑰選為國(guó)花。在法律意義上,國(guó)會(huì)和羅納德·里根總統(tǒng)公開宣布玫瑰為國(guó)花.但無論被冠以怎樣的名號(hào),這個(gè)決定并不討其他熱門花卉支持者的喜愛。
Some people say roses are difficult to grow. But you have a good chance of success if you start with a few suggestions from experts. You should plant your roses where they can get sunshine for about six hours on bright days.
有人說,玫瑰很難栽培.但是如果你開始種植時(shí)聽取專家們的建議就很容易成功.你應(yīng)該把玫瑰種植在晴天可以接受光照6小時(shí)的地方.
You can buy roses from a garden center or by mail order. You can buy potted roses, also known as container roses, or bare-root plants. Each kind has its fans.
你可以從花卉商店或通過郵購(gòu)買到玫瑰.你可以買盆栽玫瑰,也叫做容器玫瑰,或裸根玫瑰.每一種都有其自己的粉絲.
Some gardeners say potted roses are easier to plant. They say the roots develop better. But Jeffrey Dinslage, president of Nature Hills Nursery in Omaha, Nebraska, points out that bare-root roses come without soil. So they weigh less to transport.
一些園藝大師說盆栽的更容易種植.他們說盆栽更利于玫瑰根部生長(zhǎng). 但是內(nèi)布拉斯加州奧馬哈市“自然山苗圃”的負(fù)責(zé)人Jeffrey Dinslage指出，裸根玫瑰是不帶土的，因此運(yùn)輸重量較輕從而更利于運(yùn)輸。
The University of Illinois Extension advises getting bare-root roses as close to planting time as you can. If they arrive before you are ready to plant them, make sure the packing material is moist. Keep the plants in a cool, dark place. You plant the roses while they are dormant. The resting plants have no leaves but still need water.
伊利諾伊大學(xué)的延伸服務(wù)建議種植裸根玫瑰要盡可能的接近栽植期.如果它們?cè)谀銣?zhǔn)備種植之前就到了,存放時(shí)要保證包裝材料的濕潤(rùn).將其放在涼爽的地方避光保存.要在他們休眠時(shí)種植.這種休眠的植物雖然沒有葉子但是仍然需要水。
When growing roses, the soil should feel moist deep down. Watering should be done in the morning. That can prevent problems called black spot and mildew.
當(dāng)種植玫瑰時(shí),土壤摸上去要是真正的潮濕,并且要在早上澆水.這樣可以預(yù)防黑斑和霉病。
But do not water too much. Jeffrey Dinslage says people often ask him about unhealthy discoloration on rose leaves. He says the spots are usually caused by too much water. After heavy rains or too much watering, he advises pulling away mulch temporarily from around the roots. This will help dry the soil.
但是不要澆水太多. Jeffrey Dinslage稱,人們經(jīng)常就玫瑰葉子不健康的斑點(diǎn)請(qǐng)教他.他說這種斑點(diǎn)一般是由于水太多而引起的.他建議在大雨和澆水太多后,將根部周圍的護(hù)根物臨時(shí)移走,這將有利于土壤變干。
In normal conditions, placing mulch around rose plants is a good idea. Mulch suppresses weeds and holds moisture in the soil. You can use mulch made from bark, pine needles, cottonseed or oak leaves.
一般情況下,在玫瑰根部鋪設(shè)護(hù)根物是個(gè)好辦法.護(hù)根物可以抑制雜草生長(zhǎng),保持土壤水分.你可以用樹皮,松針,棉籽或橡樹葉子來做護(hù)根物。
If your soil is very dry, you can add peat or compost, which returns nutrients to the soil. If aphids, thrips or other insects invade your rose bushes, you may be able to force them off with just a strong spray of water.
如果土壤非常干,你可以增加泥炭或肥料,這些能恢復(fù)土壤中的營(yíng)養(yǎng).如果蚜蟲,牧草蟲,或其他昆蟲入侵你的玫瑰從,你只需要用水大力噴射就能將它們趕走。
