Yield
One bush can yield up to 3 kg per season. A distinctive feature of this variety is the fact that the bush bears fruit twice a year, but the peak is the autumn period, for which about 70% of the total crop falls.
Disease resistance
Remontant varieties are more resistant to various diseases. But if you do not follow the rules of plant care and do not carry out preventive measures, the bushes can still affect some diseases. 
Raspberry bushes can be affected:
- Bushy dwarfism. This disease is characterized by the formation of yellowed areas on the shoots and deciduous parts of the plant. Berries on the affected bush have a small number of farms, poorly connected to each other.
- Chlorosis The disease is characterized by yellowing and further death of the tops of young shoots, leaves, receptacle, pedicels. The deformation of the berries occurs, the process of their ripening stops.

What to look for when buying seedlings
To grow healthy bushes and get a big harvest, you first need to buy high-quality seedlings. Therefore, we consider main nuances at the choice of landing material of the Orange Miracle raspberry:
- Acquire young raspberry bushes advised in gardening nurseries and specialty stores. Forget about spontaneous markets, as the conditions for the sale of seedlings are often not respected, or else the replacement of the bush for the wilderness is quite likely.
- Planting material should have 2-4 small shoots.
- If you buy large bushes that contain long shoots, then they are likely to die, as they will not tolerate the transplant and the survival process.
- It is recommended to acquire seedlings in the autumn period, because at this time, when digging, the movement of juices is the least active and transplantation will be more productive.
Important! Choose smaller seedlings, because this will guarantee their viability.
Choosing the right place
Properly chosen planting material is already half the success, but it is important to take a responsible approach to choosing a place for planting seedlings in order to provide it with all the necessary conditions for normal growth and development.
Lighting
Considered variety very light-requiring, therefore, for planting the plant, it is recommended to choose the most illuminated place that you have on the site. It is desirable that it was the south side. It is in this place that the bush will actively develop, abundantly bear fruit, and the taste of the berries will be much better than if the plant were in the shade. 
The soil
"Orange Miracle" is considered unpretentious plant and well take root on any soil. Still, it is advisable to choose loams that have a special grain.
The main condition for soil selection is good water absorption and maximum looseness so that constant air circulation takes place. The soil should be sufficiently nutritious, the acidity should not exceed pH 6.6. 
Preparatory work
As preparatory work before planting seedlings, it is possible to distinguish: fertilization, tillage and preliminary preparation of planting material.
Before planting seedlings into the ground, it is necessary to pre-enrich the soil with organic matter and mineral fertilizers. You can use manure in the amount of 10 kilograms, or compost; wood ash is also well suited, which is recommended to be used in quantities of 1 liter per square meter of soil. The application of mineral fertilizers occurs in spring, when the soil has not yet thawed. 
Important! Raspberry seedlings are quite sensitive to chlorine, therefore, fertilizers that contain this component should not be used for fertilizing the soil.
Landing material also needs preparation for landing in the ground. To make the raspberry root better, before planting, the seedlings are soaked for 3 hours in an aqueous solution based on humates or "Kornevina", which will contribute to the rapid rooting of the plant. To prevent root decay of the root system, it is recommended to add fungicides to the solution, for example, Kvadris or Ridomil. 
Stepwise landing process
Consider more step by step instructions for planting seedlings repair raspberry to soil:
- It is necessary to prepare the wells with a depth of at least 40-50 cm and that their width is at least 60 cm. The pits must be at a distance of 90 cm from each other.
- The rows of holes should be placed so that the space between them is at least two meters. This distance is necessary in order to prevent infection of the bushes and ensure good air circulation.
- In the prepared wells, add two tablespoons of superphosphate.
- Before planting, planting material should be shortened so that it has a length of 30 cm, placed in a pit and covered with earth.
- After disembarking, the ground needs to be compacted a little and watered well.
Competent care - the key to a good harvest
When growing the Orange Miracle repair raspberry, it is important not only to plant the bushes correctly, but also to take into account all the nuances of caring for the plant, in order to ensure a high-quality and large crop.
Watering and mulching
Considering that This variety is moisture-loving, should take a responsible approach to watering in the care of the plant. Watering should be carried out with a small amount of water, but regularly. If raspberries feel a lack of moisture, the crop will be shallow and not as sweet as usual.
Important! It is necessary to take into account the fact that it is also impossible to flood the plant, since root rot can occur and the likelihood of gray rot development on the berries is very high.
The best option is considered to be drip irrigation or sprinkling. If it is not possible to irrigate in such ways, then grooves between the plants should be made and water should be poured there. It is not recommended to water directly under the bush, as the exposure of roots that are close to the surface can occur.
Raspberry mulching it is necessary to carry out in order to preserve moisture in the soil and to insulate the root system for wintering. If you carry out mulching with fertilizer, which contains humus, such an event will contribute to the active growth of young shoots. It is especially recommended to make mulching during planting, while the organic layer should be applied in the spring and autumn. 
As mulch, you can use the combined option: to cover the soil with humus, then with straw. It is not recommended to use pine needles for mulch, as it can increase the acidity of the soil and will impede the implementation of any measures in the care of the bushes.
Top dressing
The repair raspberry needs an increased nitrogen content in the soil, therefore it is recommended to regularly feed an infusion of cow manure, which is a natural source of nitrogen. The "orange miracle" often very quickly takes all the nutrients from the soil, so it has to be fertilized more often than ordinary varieties. Fertilize raspberry under consideration is also necessary phosphorus and potash supplements. 
The scheme of fertilizing for the "Orange Miracle" is as follows:
- In the spring Soil loosening occurs, after that manure is embedded in the soil, which has already burst well before application. The amount of fertilizer is about 7 liters per square meter. It also adds double superphosphate in granules, its amount is 25 g, potassium nitrate is added to it, in an amount of 15 g. After half an hour, the fertilized area should be watered well.
- At the beginning of June should be watered raspberry fresh infusion with manure, nettle, dandelion, bird droppings. In order to prepare such an infusion, it is necessary to select a large capacity, where to add in equal proportions all the ingredients and pour water so that the amount of water exceeds twice the amount of prepared raw materials. The container is tightly closed with a lid and left for a week, after which the contents are mixed and diluted with water in proportion: 1 part of fertilizer to 8 parts of water. Watering is made on 2 l of solution under a bush.
- At the end of the month The plant should be fed with special purchased fertilizer for raspberries, such as Kemir or Amofoska, according to the instructions.
- At the beginning of the autumn period top dressing is carried out by the same fertilizer, according to the instructions.
- After the harvest, Raspberry fertilizer is produced with double superphosphate - 30 g and potassium nitrate - 20 g. The measured amount of dry ingredients is diluted in 5 liters of water, this amount of liquid will be enough to water one bush. These feedings can be filled in dry form under each bush, subject to rainy weather.
Preventive treatment
As a preventive measure, in order to prevent the occurrence of pests in raspberries, it is recommended to use Bordeaux liquid or Nitrafen. The first treatment is carried out during the growing season; if necessary, the treatment is carried out again.
To prevent the raspberry leaves and shoots from drying out, which is provoked by fungi, it is necessary to treat the bushes with Bordeaux liquid - 1%.
Support
It is imperative to tie up the orange miracle remontant raspberry, as the bushes under a great weight of fruits can lie heavily. Also, after the garter, airing raspberries occurs, moisture does not stagnate, fungal infections do not develop, good and uniform illumination of the berries and their simultaneous ripening occur. 
For the garter, choose plastic wire, which will contain polyester. As a support, it is better to use reinforcement posts, which are fixed with the help of cement, but you can also use ordinary wooden supports. The height of the support should be about 2 meters. The garter is carried out at a height of 50 cm - this is the first mount, and at a height of one and a half meters - the second mount. Fixation is made with plastic clips or aluminum clips.
Important! Raspberry garter is produced in the spring, before the kidneys wake up, because they can be easily injured.
Pruning
The Renovation Raspberry "Orange Miracle" should be pruned for two crops. Pruning shoots produced after the fruiting has ended, as close as possible to the ground and parallel to it. In this way, annual shoots that produce a given crop in a given year are shortened, while the height of the remaining shoots should not exceed 3 cm. 
Re-pruning is done in the spring, in order to remove branches that have broken or suffered from frost. Also recommend cutting the upper parts of the shoots to 15 cm, which will contribute to the mass fruiting of raspberries this year.
Shelter for the winter
The best way to keep raspberries from freezing is considered bending down the shoots of raspberry to the ground. It is recommended to bend down the shoots and alternately tying the bent parts to each other, in an arcuate manner. Such a procedure should be carried out before the frosts hit, because you can just break the stalks of the plant.
If the winters in your area are snowy enough, you can not cover the raspberries. It is important to ensure that the snow layer completely covers the shoots. If this does not happen, it is recommended to pour the snow with his own hands. 
If the snow cover in your area is not thick enough in winter, then it is recommended to cover the raspberries with foliage; at the same time the layer of shelter must be at least 30 cm.
Thus, it is quite simple to grow the “Orange Miracle” on your site, the main thing is to follow all the recommendations for plant care and perform the necessary manipulations in time to prevent diseases and stimulate active growth and abundant fruiting of the bushes.
