Roses ... It is impossible to convey in words the smell and impression of these plants. And how delightfully they act on the beautiful half of our humanity, isn't it? And therefore, more and more people are now trying to plant this amazing flower at home.
Roses first appeared in Europe. They were planted as ordinary plants, with only one type of variety. Now roses are abundant, in several varieties, of various colors and sizes. These flowers smell great and look good just as well. Now they can be grown both on the street and at home, only your desire to decorate the area is important.
Curb roses are most often used to decorate garden areas. Such exquisite, bright and compact flowers are perfectly combined with various garden plants.
Do you have border roses? How do they look?
A distinctive feature of these roses is abundant flowering, unusual shape and fluffy petals. During the season, they bloom again, take root well under different conditions, are not afraid of frost and belong to unpretentious flowers. These flowers are used to decorate city parks, and now they are in great demand for planting in private garden plots. The curb rose is highly valued by landscape designers for its originality and decorative effect. Such roses are planted in March. All border roses are small in stature, and they are also shrubs that are very easy to care for. These flowers do not require complex technologies for planting and further growth.
Rose petals have a double base, as well as small fluffy bushes that bear fruit over time. You can see 3-4 flowering changes per year.
They can be planted in flower beds, lawns or gardens. There are many different varieties of border roses. Here, as they say, for your taste and color.
A curb rose can also look great in your home on a windowsill, which is well lit and has no draft. This is a wonderful gift for ladies.
If you decide to plant roses at home, then you will not need to insulate them. It is enough just to water and spray the plant from a spray bottle on time.
The curb rose is propagated by both seeds and cuttings. If you are an experienced gardener, then you can work hard with the seeds, and if you are a beginner, it is better to buy a cutting and plant.
What are miniature roses
The homeland of dwarf roses is China, because it was there that the first attempts were made to create a mini-version of a flower that would bloom all year round and be more hardy (we all know that a rose is a rather capricious flower). In the late 1890s, Europeans also began experimenting to create highly productive dwarf versions of the rose.
Reference!
The founder of the first modern improved miniature rose varieties is the famous Rouletii.
Since gardeners became interested in breeding mini roses, breeders began to breed several hundred different varieties and hybrids of dwarf flowers annually. All of them are similar in compact bush habit, but differ in the color of the petals and the structure of the flowers: they are simple and double, large and small, cupped and goblet. Most varieties of miniature roses are suitable for both garden and indoor growing.
The value of dwarf roses:
- dwarf roses are similar in habitus height to ground cover ones. However, they are distinguished by the peculiarity of the structure of the shoots - in the mini-version they do not fall or spread along the ground, but only grow upward, creating a beautiful lush bush;
- short shoots are still very strong and strong. They withstand well a thick layer of dense foliage and the severity of dozens of voluminous inflorescences;
- small buds have a variety of one- and two-color petals;
- in many varieties, the color range of flowers changes as the bud opens and ages;
- flowers in miniature versions are most often collected in large clusters, consisting of 5-20 buds;
- dwarf roses bloom from spring to late autumn in waves. With proper home care, buds form all year round.
Fact!
Miniature roses are the same garden roses, only in a reduced copy.
Dwarf roses are a self-sufficient and full-fledged element of the garden. And although they are not so spectacular in a single planting, and are lost in large flower arrangements, they look great in border decoration (miniature flowers are also called "border flowers"), in the foregrounds of rockeries and rose gardens. Low-growing varieties, the bushes of which barely reach 20 cm in height, are excellent for container growing. Lush flowering hats look spectacular in hanging pots, as well as in flowerpots and pots placed on the terrace, porch or at the entrance to the house. These wonderful flowers and home premises will be ennobled in a wonderful way. In addition, border roses look gorgeous in a cut bouquet.
Curb rose: reproduction and care
For breeding, it is very important to choose a flower bed that is well lit by sunlight. The curb rose loves sunbathing all day long. Also, the saturation of the color of the flower depends on the sun. But with all this, the landing site must be protected from strong winds. It is worth saying that border roses do not withstand dampness and can deteriorate when planted.
But if you have a poorly lit flower bed, and you really want to plant a border rose, then you will have to work on lighting the flower bed. There are many ways to do this now.
When planting, you must take into account the time of year. It is better to plant roses in early spring so that their root system develops well and gets stronger in the ground. If conditions permit, you can plant it in the fall, and in the spring you can transplant already gorgeous rose bushes.
Do not forget about the elementary loosening of the soil. The curb rose, like other plants, loves him very much.
After planting, it is advisable to organize greenhouse conditions for the rose in order to protect the rose from temporary frosts.
Growing a Chinese rose at home
Most often, Chinese indoor roses are grown from cuttings. In any of the summer months, the upper part of the young appendage is cut off. The resulting cuttings are treated with a growth stimulant and rooted in a pot with nutritious soil. It should be kept in a warm room (+22 - +25 degrees), with optimal humidity and no drafts.
After a month, the shoot can be considered rooted. Fertilize miniature roses every thirty days during the spring and summer. Plants can neither be overfed, nor underfeed, they need to be watered with settled water at room temperature. Do not forget to cut off the faded roses, while not the entire stem is removed, but only its upper part with a faded flower.
During the dormant period, the rose needs to be cut just above the bud, at this time the plant is watered little. In the place where the rose will winter, the temperature should be about +5 degrees, in February it is exposed to a slightly warmer place (up to +12 degrees). When the first leaves begin to hatch, the rose is placed in a warm and bright place.
Immediately after the rose "woke up", watered as the soil dries up, and during budding more often, alternating watering at the root with watering in the pan. In the spring, old branches need to be cut in order for new ones to grow.Some gardeners remove the first two or three buds so that later the rose blooms profusely. Yellow leaves are also removed.
How to insulate a curb rose when planting?
Since the rose is a small plant, insulating it will not be as difficult. When planting for the first time, it is covered with a cut bottle or jar. If you have a greenhouse on the site, then plant a rose there so that it grows stronger and does not freeze.
Just don't forget about watering and caring for it. By the way, an excessive change in weather can affect the cutting not for the better.
Curb roses: care
Rose bushes should look neat and lush, for which it is necessary to prune the plant in time and remove old stems. In this case, after winter, you need to prune the tops of the plant for splendor and growth.
Many rose breeders believe that organic and mineral supplements are essential for flowers. With proper care, you will notice several flowering phases until the most resistant frost, so you need to fertilize several times a year.
Do not forget that any plants, including roses, can get sick or meet pests. And this is also a reason to rid the flowers of these unpleasant ailments by feeding. Also, the proximity to other plants will help to repel pests or diseases.
Growing
Caring for curb roses is not particularly difficult, so even novice summer residents can cope with it. In order for the rose to thank the gardener with lush flowering and healthy growth, it should be watered periodically, cut off the shoots and feed the roots with minerals. The areas where the flowers grow should not be too moist or dry. Watering should be done in the evening, using pre-settled and heated water. You can not use irrigation of the aboveground part of the flowers, you can water only at the root.
Caring for decorative flowers also provides for timely feeding, which should be carried out 2-3 times per season. As fertilizers, it is allowed to use mixtures intended specifically for decorative flowers, "Kornevin". Additionally, you can use organic matter in the form of horse manure, but you need to be extremely careful with it in order to prevent burns of the rhizomes.
The cultivation of such roses is not complete without pruning. At the same time, these crops must be able to properly crop. The procedure is the cleaning of the bushes from dry and diseased shoots, during which a beautiful and neat ground part is formed. The cut off area of the shoot can be affected by viral diseases and rot. To prevent this, you should always use only clean garden tools. Pruning must be done throughout the summer.
If you take care of the plants correctly, they will turn into gorgeous bushes by the fall. They can be propagated both by cuttings and seedlings.
Time to feed
- The first feeding is carried out in the spring with fertilizer to strengthen and protect against frost.
- The second is two weeks after the first.
- The third is in mid-June.
- The fourth is in July.
- The fifth is in August.
- The sixth is in mid-September.
- At the end of September, we carry out liming.
All dressings are carried out in turn: first with organic, and then with mineral fertilizers. They can be either purchased or homemade, which everyone has become accustomed to using since ancient times. They have long established themselves on the positive side. It is only important to correctly calculate the dose of feeding.
Propagation by cuttings
Reproduction begins in May and continues through June. Roses form shoots with young buds, which must be cut in half to obtain 2-3 buds.
Before planting the cuttings, you need to soak the buds in root growth solutions. Now there are a lot of them on sale.You can also use folk methods. For example, use a weak manganese solution. To do this, prepare a solution, put the kidneys in a glass and observe. Roots will begin to grow in two days.
Then, border roses are planted in a hole, preferably fertilized with sand and humus, under a slight slope. The distance between the flowers should be at least 18–32 cm. When planting, the remaining leaves fall off over time, and new ones grow in their place.
If you come across a stalk with a bud, then you need to pinch it, since the bud will take all the strength from the bud and will not allow the root to grow.
Also, young bushes are watered and covered with a cut bottle to arrange greenhouse conditions.
Two months after planting, you can dig up a sprouted rose bush and plant it in a permanent place. In this case, you should actively water and spray the plant, which will improve the quality and habituation of the flower in the soil.
Preparing bushes for shelter
Towards the end of October (for the Moscow region), they begin to gradually remove roses from trellises, arches and other supports and carry out measures to prepare them directly for winter maintenance. Gradually, you need to cut off the foliage, starting from the bottom, often it stays firmly on the branches until December, keeping its green color and juiciness. Under the shelter, the leaves will continue to live, breathe, release moisture, thereby creating an unfavorable microclimate.
More on pruning roses before hiding
Previously, the general recommendation for literally all groups of roses (excluding climbing ones) was pruning to a height of 40-50 cm, depending on the possibilities of the shelter. Now, due to the fact that new varieties of roses have appeared, for which it is important to preserve the shoots to the maximum (shrubs, English, landscape, park), the bushes are trying not to cut off radically.
Only hybrid tea is shortened to 30-40 cm, patio roses (miniature, border) to 20-30 cm.With the rest, they do this:
- thickened shoots are removed from the inside of the bush;
- cut out old 3-4 year old branches;
- cut off the unripe ends of the branches (if the care of the roses was correct, then this is ¼-1/5 of the length of the shoots);
- the bush is treated with a 3% solution of copper sulfate (300 g / bucket of water);
- pull the shoots with synthetic twine and lay the resulting "bundles" on the boards, or a spunbond folded in several layers, pin them to the ground with staples or anchors.
Construction of air-dry shelters
In order for roses to survive the difficult time of the year, it is necessary to provide them with a dry winter with no sharp fluctuations in temperature. Such conditions can only be created under an air-dry shelter. What are such constructions?
This is, as a rule, a tunnel of arches or shields, placed over the roses (and we remember that they are neatly tied and pinned to the ground).
- Covering material (spunbond No. 60 or double layer No. 40) is thrown onto the tunnel and firmly attached to the arches of the shelter with clips or clothespins. The ends of the shelter must be covered in winter to avoid cold drafts.
- A waterproof "roof" is reinforced on top of the spunbond, which can be made of polyethylene or roofing material.
- The polyethylene roof is firmly secured with twine.
Important: the film should not touch the ground on the sides and at the ends, it protects the spunbond from getting wet in the thaw, but freely lets air through the bottom, preventing moisture from accumulating in the shelter.
The resulting hideout should look something like the photo below.
Shelter for tunnel type roses. Please note: the rose garden is located at the southern wall of the building
If you need to cover several roses growing nearby, then the most optimal choice is to build a common shelter above them. The wider the tunnel, the more comfortable it is for the plants to winter!
Important: the shelter should not sag from the snow. To do this, the arches are placed closer to each other and boards are laid on top, forming stiffeners.
Do not send roses to cover too early, as is often the case (in November, and sometimes in October). Lay them before frost so as not to break, and construct tunnels with the onset of stable frosts (late November - early December).
It is very convenient to use ready-made "houses" for roses - caps made of dense covering material. It is put on a trimmed bush and tied at the bottom with twine.
Removing shelters in spring
Perhaps even more important is the correct removal of the shelter in the spring. If, having been delighted with the good weather, you sharply "re-preserve" your plants, then the probability of their death is very high. Yes, that's right - roses that have come out of winter very often are ruined by a sharp change in the environment: an excessively bright scorching spring sun, as well as recurrent and night frosts.
What should be done in these cases? We "wake up" roses in stages:
- At the onset of heat, the film and spunbond are raised at the ends of the shelters, the rose is gradually accustomed to fresh air.
- The next step is to remove the polyethylene to improve the illumination of the bushes.
- As soon as the first shoots appear, the fabric is removed, the roses are untied, while choosing a cloudy day, sanitary pruning is performed, removing the blackened ends to healthy tissue.
- If the weather is sunny, a light spanbond # 17 or a shading net is thrown over the bushes. Such a shelter is removed after the plant has fully adapted to the light.
All fertilizers, fungicides and materials needed to prepare roses for winter can be purchased from our garden center. If you do not have time to engage in winter shelter of roses, entrust them to us: Plant Land specialists will quickly and competently cut plants and construct shelters.

What to look for when buying seeds
- When buying seeds, the main thing is not to make a mistake. You need to look very closely at the expiration date. Buy seeds that are not expired because they may be empty.
- Pay attention to the color of the rose: whether it will suit your flower bed or alpine slide, what shade you combine with other plants, whether it will not look ugly against the background of other roses.
- It is worth carefully studying the longitude of flowering, because it is diverse on different varieties. You should also know early flowering or late.
- You should definitely study the planting and grooming requirements, as they may differ in some way. And this must be taken into account immediately so that later there will be no oversights.
- Buy seeds in specialized stores so that later it turns out that instead of beautiful, shaggy border roses, you got a rose hip. In them, such an oversight is not allowed.
- The planting time is also worth considering, as you may need a special growing area, light and humidity.
There are many factors to consider when planting. You need to germinate the seeds, plant them as seedlings in pots and then wait for the shoots to germinate, and then carry out the usual transplanting.
Roses border varieties are very diverse. Let's consider some of them.
Diseases and pests
The best remedy for diseases and pests is prevention. It has been noticed that if marigolds, sage or onions are planted next to rose bushes, then caterpillars, aphids, sawflies will avoid them. But the presence of weeds provokes the appearance of both pests and diseases on roses.
With a slight damage to the bush by pests, spraying with an infusion of onion husks, calendula, yarrow or wormwood will help. To consolidate the result, re-spraying should be carried out after a week. And only with a massive defeat should one turn to insecticides.
For your information! Baby curb roses have excellent immunity to disease. Subject to preventive measures, they are not afraid of powdery mildew, rust, black spot. It is enough to spray the bushes with a 3% solution of copper sulfate before and after the winter shelter.
It is important to regularly inspect dwarf roses in order to capture the disease at an early stage.If the disease has become serious, then in a specialized store you can buy the desired drug, having previously studied the description of its effect.
Low-growing varieties of roses for the border are a great option for planting in the garden. With minimal maintenance effort, they give maximum results.
Garnet bracelet
The variety got its name due to its bright red color, beautiful thick double petals, and also under the influence of the story of the writer Kuprin.
The flowering of this variety is continuous until autumn. The plant is of medium size, frost-resistant, well resistant to diseases, as it has immunity to them. Rose Garnet bracelet is not particularly demanding to care and tolerates long sunny weather.
Popular varieties
The group of miniature roses currently includes more than 5,000 varieties and hybrids. This includes classic bush, ground cover, standard and other garden hybrids that bloom profusely for many months. Most miniature roses are unpretentious in care, have enviable health, the ability to adapt to bad climatic conditions.
Los Angeles
The classic look of a miniature rose, on the basis of which many modern hybrids have been created. Los Angeles is a lush, undersized shrub that rarely reaches a height of 40 centimeters. The plant bushes well, its shoots grow woody quickly. Stems are flexible and thin, growing mainly upward. In spring, they are densely overgrown with dark green slightly rough matte egg-shaped greens. The leaf plate is assembled from 5-7 leaves with carved needle-like edges.
Fact!
Some subspecies of the Los Angeles variety have unusual foliage colors: there are specimens with brown leaves or light green, with dark veins.
Gardeners prefer to grow Los Angeles hybrids because of the rich, vibrant bloom that can last 3-4 months. Small 4-5 cm flowers have a salmon color. They are collected in loose inflorescences, consisting of 8-10 buds. On each shoot, up to 80 double flowers of a bright orange color can form at the same time. The color of the petals changes at different stages of flower ripening: at first, the closed buds are lemon yellow, and as they open, the flowers turn to coral or purple tones.
Jewel
Roses of the Jewel variety series have characteristic leaves - they are round in shape, dark green glossy (cherry at an early stage of development), veins are practically not distinguished. But there are varieties with matte carved leaves (for example, Baby Jewel and Flamingo Jewel). The stems have sparse, not sharp thorns.
Jewel roses bloom for a very long time - from June to early October. The buds are goblet, pointed at the edge. The center of the flower is lighter, colored yellow. The rest of the petals are bright red. The lower petals of a blossoming bud are strongly bent outward, while the inner rows remain tightly pressed against each other. This makes the flower more voluminous and loose. The color on the patio lasts for a long time, however, due to the heterogeneous structure, the flower quickly crumbles during rains and winds. But cut flowers stand for a very long time, for 12-14 days.
Reference!
The Jewel variety series combines a dozen varieties that differ in the color of the flower petals. For example, the Amazing Jewel variety has a bicolor color of the buds - orange-yellow; Icy Jewel flowers are white; Hybrids Lipstick Jewel, Sparkling Jewel, Purple Jewel refer to the pink variety of Jewel.
All varieties of the Jewel group tolerate life well in indoor conditions. They are rarely affected by diseases, and of the pests, even a spider mite that has settled on the lower leaves will not stop the violent flowering.
Clementine
Ground cover roses were obtained by interspecific crossing in 1997. Small dense double roses are collected in huge inflorescences.The color of the petals changes from pale pink to orange as the flower ages. The color of a mature bud resembles the color of a tangerine, and the roses smell like citrus. Most of all among the many types of Clementine, the Apricot Clementine variety stands out. This hybrid is completely easy to care for, resistant to many infectious diseases and color until the first snow.
Clementine bushes are tall enough for dwarf ones - they can reach 60 centimeters in height. The plant forms a lot of shoots, due to which the 2-3 year old bush grows strongly, forming a voluminous highly branching shrub. Shoots grow upward. They are sturdy and straight, heavily covered with dark green foliage.
The first buds begin to bloom closer to mid-June. However, in unfavorable periods (cold, rain), flowers are in no hurry to open. Because of this feature, the bushes retain their decorative effect for a very long time. In comfortable weather conditions, the buds open the core rather quickly - five days after the formation of the flower. Patios form in waves, as well as open up. Cut flowers retain their presentation for more than a week.
Note!
Clementine roses have a high immunity to the most dangerous crop diseases: black spot and powdery mildew.
Cinderella
A variety created in the best traditions of old hybrid tea varieties. The flowers have a virgin white color, which eventually becomes pale pink with a pleasant apple scent. The buds are large, spherical (cup-shaped). Small 3-4 - centimeter buds are collected in dense voluminous racemose inflorescences of 10-20 pieces.
Cinderella bushes are low (20 centimeters) and compact. The stems are slender, but strong, without thorns. Roses begin to form on the branches by the end of May, and begin to bloom already in the first days of summer. With proper care, flowering can be repeated 2-3 times per season. Moreover, the blossoming flowers do not wither for several weeks in a row. Cinderella's foliage is large, dense with a dark green gloss.
Cinderella roses are universal in their purpose. They look spectacular in solitary plantings, at the same time they can be in harmony with other plants in general compositions. They can be grown outdoors, in pots and planters.
Hummingbird (Colibri)
An old variety, bred in 1958. He is not inferior to his leadership positions to this day. Miniature compact shrub will grow no more than 25 centimeters. Short strong twigs are densely overgrown with dense leathery shiny foliage of dark green color. The flowers are very small and there are many of them on the bush. 3 cm buds are semi-double in structure. Their color has various shades of yellow and orange. In the bright sun, the color of the petals quickly fades. The buds are formed in a heap of 3-4 pieces per inflorescence. Blooming roses have a strong aroma typical of this culture.
Patios bloom from June to late September. Outdoors, hummingbird roses do not require shelter for the winter (in the south of the country). Mostly varietal plants are used to create living borders along the paths. Many gardeners prefer to grow hummingbirds at home, growing in planters or pots.
Hair curlers (Bigoudi)

The Curler variety is least of all similar to a rose, since in the opened form the buds have elongated, densely doubled petals, twisted upward and a dense core - a kind far from a rose in the usual sense. The variety is quite young - it was bred in France in 2001.
The dwarf plant grows up to 30 centimeters. This is a compact bush, consisting of 15-25 thin semi-lignified stems, which already at the beginning of summer is covered with dozens of dahlia-like flowers painted in a variegated red-yellow strip. The patio is 4-5 centimeters in diameter.Foliage in mature form is dark green with red, has yellowish veins.
At the peak of flowering, buds, consisting of 20-25 petals, are collected in 10-15 pieces in bright, double and very lush inflorescences. The curler rose blooms several times per season, retaining its decorative effect until late autumn. This variety has good winter hardiness, but often suffers from fungal diseases. Curlers are usually placed in group plantings, however, due to the excessive flashiness of the inflorescences, designers use them to dilute monochromatic flower arrangements, in particular, plant roses among herbaceous plants.
Lavender
A hybrid with fabulous lilac-colored roses, created in 1999 by the Meilland firm. Bushes of medium vigor, reaching a height of 40 centimeters. Shoots are well leafy, thorns are rare. The foliage is dense, durable, leathery, with a dark green gloss. Flowers 6-7 centimeters in diameter, densely double. When in bloom, they are in the form of a rosette. Formed on shoots singly or collected in racemose inflorescences of 2-5 pieces.
Flowering occurs in late spring and lasts six months. In the south of the country, it can winter without shelter. The variety is resistant to fungal diseases, tolerates bad weather.
Fact!
Due to the lilac color of the buds, this rose looks advantageous in a composition with small-flowered crops of a similar color (cornflowers, bells).
Daniela
A personal variety, selected in 1987 by the German company Kordes' Söhne.
Dwarf bushes grow by 25 centimeters, no more. They are compact, erect. The foliage is matte, juicy green. A distinctive feature of this variety are the petals of cupped buds - they have a star-tiled shape and pointed ends. The color of dense double dense buds is pink, eventually fading to almost white. Daniel's roses bloom for a long time (almost all year round), exuding a subtle delicate floral scent. The buds open in rows - the outer leaves are slightly bent down, exposing the middle filled with dozens of petals. 10, 15 and sometimes 20 buds are folded into a voluminous basket-inflorescence.
Daniela is characterized by high winter hardiness. However, the variety is susceptible to fungal diseases.
Fact!
Daniel's roses have found their use as home flowers. They are happy to grow them in pots and pots, cut them into bouquets, and use them for boutonnieres. And practicing gardeners often graft this rose on a stem to other varieties, getting magnificent bushy plants that bloom incessantly.
Gold Symphonie
This miniature rose was created in France, breeding in the early 2000s. Gold Symphony is a low (up to 40 centimeters) bush, in summer densely overgrown with dark green glossy, leathery foliage, in the wilds of which dozens of tight densely double buds begin to form. In the opened form, the roses are rather large for the dwarf variety in size - almost 6 centimeters in diameter. They are practically odorless, but this does not fade their enchanting beauty in the least. Up to 5 flowers are formed on one branch. The color of the petals is golden yellow, sometimes yellow-orange. The color stays in the sun for a long time without fading. The bud is densely doubled, consists of 50-60 petals.

By the way!
The variety was named in honor of the story of the same name by A.I. Kuprin.
Thumb Boy (Malchik-s-Palchik)
The variety was bred in Ukraine by the Klimenko spouses in 2008. Quite a tall rose, the bush reaches a height of 40-45 centimeters. The plant is upright, narrow, shoots grow mainly upward.

Flowers bloom all at the same time, stay on the bush for a long time. The color of the petals is deep pink, coral.
The variety is winter-hardy, has enviable health. In good weather conditions, it can delight with flowering until mid-October. Self-cleaning variety. Rose growers recommend planting a Boy-with-finger rose along the paths or use it in group plantings, placing it on the first bottom row.
Amulet
The roses were eaten by the Germans in the Rosen Tantau nursery. The bushes for the miniature version of roses are quite tall, often grow up to 60 centimeters, and in the south of the country the height can reach a meter. The bush is dense, the shoots grow straight, adhere tightly to each other. When in bloom, the bud looks more like a chrysanthemum (or sometimes a dahlia) than a rose - the petals are arranged not in a spiral, but in a circle. The flowers are large, densely double, and consist of hundreds of leaves, painted in a rich pink-red color. At first, the color scheme of the buds is all dark shades of cherry, and then in the sun the color quickly fades out, acquiring the usual color. 4-5-centimeter flowers are collected in 15-20 pieces in rather large clustered inflorescences.
