When he was still in love, Mr. Long often bought roses for his lover. Now, after many years of sharing the same house, he turned the roof of the grade 4 house into a brilliant rose garden to surprise his wife.
The rose garden on the roof of Mr. Long makes everyone excited. Rose garden on the roof burned burning In the middle of high-rise buildings, dry cement walls, rose gardens are always brilliant with flowers of Mr. Nguyen Van Long (60 years old, living in Ho Nai ward, Bien Hoa city, Dong Nai province), making many people like animal. In particular, more than 100 of his rose pots are placed directly on the burning iron roof on hot sunny days. Mr. Long said he initially planted this flower on his porch. However, due to lack of sun, roses are stunted, giving little flowers, not beautiful. 
Mr. Long turned his 42-square-meter metal roof into a garden with more than 40 different varieties of roses. After many studies, he decided to reinforce the corrugated iron roof on the 42m2 house and move more than 100 pink pots to the roof. On sunny days, at noon, iron absorbs heat, the temperature is so high that it is impossible to walk barefoot. Therefore, many people said that bringing flowers to the roof of the iron is like “burning a tree”. Afraid of hot metal roofs and dead trees, Mr. Long used bricks to line the bottom of the pots. However, without enough bricks, he placed a number of pots directly on the corrugated iron roof. 
Although placed directly on the burning iron roof, Mr. Long’s rose pots are still lush, giving beautiful flowers. After a month, he saw trees laid on bricks and placed directly on the same growing corrugated iron roof. Hundreds of rose pots still sprout, blooming fragrant flowers. Finally, he removed all the tiles, leaving all the trees on the roof. Letting the rose pots on the roof burn live, develop, and give flowers brilliantly like now is a process of learning and testing by a man in Dong Nai. He shared: “Many people think that plants should not be watered at noon because the soil is very hot right now. Watering is like boiling the roots of a plant. However, when the outdoor temperature is high, when I visit the garden, I see that the buds of flowers and young shoots all drop their heads and droop. 
In order to prevent the flowers from being damaged by the harsh sun, Mr. Long designed a roof for the rose pots. “Knowing the soil in the pot was too hot, I decided to water it. When watering, do not be cautious but must water quickly, with a lot of water. More water is enough to bring down the temperature in the soil quickly. If watering is dripping, slowly the amount of water is not enough to reduce the temperature, the roots are susceptible to heat shock, leading to plant death, ”he added. Currently, more than 40 types of roses are healthy for beautiful flowers every day on the roof. The roses in the garden were so many and beautiful that, every day, his wife would pick flowers to place and decorate the house. The rest of the flowers, she used as essential oil, braised tea to drink, even mixed in warm water to bathe … 
According to Mr. Long, the technique of growing flowers on the metal roof is to know how to water the flowers at noon. Every day, Mr. Long and his wife go to the roof to take care of and watch the flowers. This man shared that he planted roses to give his wife and remembrance of the beautiful memories of the two of them when they first fell in love. Want to surprise his wife Mr. Long said: “Before, thanks to this flower, I got to my wife now. When I first met, I was very poor, could not afford to buy gifts for my lover. Each time I visit, I can only afford a bouquet of roses for her. 
Mr. Long planted roses as a gift to his wife. Later, when he became a couple, Mr. Long still remembers his youthful days. He always wanted to surprise his wife, evoke new memories of loving each other. Once his wife returned to his hometown, alone at home, Mr. Long walked through the spots selling ornamental plants to see the flowers for relief. Here, he was fascinated by the pots of pink velvet Sa Dec. This man bought 4 stumps and planted them in an existing pot at home and took the flowers to the balcony to take care of them. 
In addition to planting on the corrugated iron roof, he also placed rose pots in front of the railing so that his wife could watch and enjoy the scent of this flower while at home. Returning to the city after his trip back to his hometown, his wife was surprised and delighted by the bright and fragrant roses. Knowing his wife likes, he decided to tinker, plant more roses to give her. He said: “The first flowers, the flowers bloom beautifully, but then the plants are stunted, giving flowers to small, thin flowers. After a year of research and research, I found my own rose-growing medium mixing recipe. My substrate includes: Tribat soil, rice husk, coir, worms “. 
Mr. Long’s wife loves the rose garden very much. She often picks flowers for indoor decoration. “In the dry season, I add coir fiber, less husk to keep moisture, in rainy season add more husk, less coir for good drainage. I do not mix cow manure because it is hot, newly planted plants are weak and cannot be absorbed, so it is easy to die. When the plants flower, after pruning, add more fish protein, completely do not use chemical fertilizers “, he added. Mr. Long said that planting and tending the flower garden took up almost all of his spare time. To have a beautiful flower garden, he had to tinker and do research on his own to learn from experience. 
Mr. Long’s wife also mastered the techniques of flower multiplication by extracting and grafting plants. Currently, he not only “tames” exotic and precious roses but also makes his flowers bloom at the same time dense and bloom at the same time. “This depends on the technique of pruning the branches after flowering,” he said. “My experience is not to regret but to prune buds, cut off sick branches and pests so that plants can focus on nutrition to nurture healthy branches”, Mr. Long shared. 
The gardening work occupies almost all of his spare time. However, he said he is happy to be able to create a green, colorful space right on the roof. In addition to the day care time, at night, Mr. Long also has to turn on the leaf-line light to search deeply. Many kinds of worms during the day go deep into the soil, and at night they climb to the leafy trees. Therefore, at night, he had to climb onto the roof of the metal roof, his head wore a bright frog light to trace each leaf to find and catch pests. Mr. Long’s wife also surprised him by multiplying, grafting and extracting to create new rose stems with unique beauty. Currently, she has successfully propagated many types of persimmons by extracting branches. 
Every day, Mr. Long and his wife enjoy the life of the roses planted by his own hands. In particular, she successfully grafted Molinuex woody persimmon tree (yellow flower) and Blue Sky bush rose (purple flower) to produce a unique 2-color rose base. Every day, the two grandparents still together go to the roof to take care of the flower garden and watch their achievements in happiness.
