• Re-blooming

Once flowering varieties are categorically impossible to cut off, because they can bloom only on last year's shoots. However, this is their advantage: the branches do not require bending, they winter well without shelter. This is a group of vintage roses that are cultivated rose hips. Among them, the most common varieties are Wasagaming, Minette, Poppius.

Re-blooming park roses, in turn, are further subdivided into subgroups:

• Frost-resistant hybrids, rugoses
• Frost resistant canadian park roseswintering without shelter subject to agricultural technology

Planting park roses in open ground

In order for roses to bloom for a long time and abundantly, they need to pick up a sunny area protected from the wind with fertile, breathable soil. Do not plant them in the shade under tall trees, as they will not bloom abundantly.

Roses can grow in any soil, but they still prefer light clay soil with a lot of humus. If the clay soil is too heavy, it can be improved by adding peat or rotted manure.

It is best to plant park roses in the fall - from mid-September to frost, so that the plants have time to take root. Then in the spring they will quickly start growing with renewed vigor.

Since park roses grow strongly in breadth, it is initially better to plant them at a respectful distance from each other. This is also necessary so that the bushes are convenient to handle and cover in the cold season.

Landing technology is not complicated at all. Dig a hole, add compost and bone meal mixed with earth to it. At the bottom, form a mound and carefully place the seedling so that the roots descend. After that, cover with earth so that the root collar is 2-3 cm below the soil level. It remains to compact the soil, water and mulch the earth. When planting in autumn, the seedlings are spud up, preparing for frost.

Create a secluded corner

David Austin's English roses are a lush spherical bush. Landscape designers find them a variety of uses, planting them in the most secluded corners of a garden or park. The shape is created by pruning the rose bush.

Luxurious places for rest and relaxation are one of the landscape design options. Climbing varieties of ostinks can be placed on wooden, metal trellises or made of thick wire, around garden benches, arbors.

Shrub and standard Ostinka varieties are planted in front of the trees; against the background of green foliage, rose bushes acquire an advantageous position.

Don't you want to retire by sitting in silence on a bench in a gazebo. Landscape design options in the photo below.

Arches and arched enfilades

From curly ostins you can get amazingly beautiful arches and enfilades. You just need to find a place where they will compete favorably with other plantings of the garden, and make arched supports. They must be resilient. Rose bushes are planted under the supports. To prevent the lashes from falling, gardeners wrap flexible branches around the base.

Among David Austin's recent masterpieces is the Claire Austin rose, named after the breeder's daughter. The color of the closed buds is soft lemon, and when the flower opens in all its glory, it is dazzlingly snow-white. After a few days, the bud turns pink-beige.

Attention! The Claire Austin variety in the first two years is bushy, but then the whips grow up to 2.5 meters, it becomes climbing.

Therefore, the rose bush must be planted near the trellis. Imagine an arch, which during flowering is covered from top to bottom with buds of different shades. Isn't it a miracle !?

Flower care and cultivation

In order for roses to please the owner with flowering for many years, you should know some of the nuances regarding care:

• It is useful to periodically fertilize plants with ash infusion.
• Watering should be abundant, but not frequent. The main thing is that the water penetrates well inside, to the roots.
• Avoid pruning sturdy shoots in late summer and autumn. So the roses will survive the winter better.
• Hilling should be carried out before the onset of stable cold weather to a height of 20 cm. Cut off young branches. Then the plant should be wrapped with lutrasil, and a little later covered with spruce branches.

If there is a thaw in winter and the temperature rises above -8 degrees, open the shelter a little for ventilation. If this is not done, mold may develop. In the spring, you need to remove the shelter in time to prevent overheating.

How to combine with other colors

As already mentioned, rose bushes do not like the scorching sun. You can plant next to them:

• tall grasses;
• cereal plants;
• bulbous and non-flowering garden plants.

• irises or ageratum;
• cuff or geraniums;
• purslane or bells.

The middle tier is given to daffodils, tulips, gladioli. Clematis, primroses, herbal carnations will look good next to rose bushes. Look carefully, perhaps some photos will give an impetus to your imagination, and you will create a unique version of landscape design.

Pruning and covering park roses for the winter

A park rose is cut minimally, cutting out only old, damaged or frozen branches. After flowering, the faded buds are cut off. Pruning is completely stopped in August. In autumn, the branches are freed from the leaves, bent down, pinned with metal staples and covered. Especially powerful bushes are difficult to bend to the ground, then you will need to dig them up on one side until the root begins to bend and tilt the bush. The root collar must be earthed to a height of 20-30 cm. The rose is covered with spruce branches from above, non-woven material can be used. The main condition is that the shelter breathes, and the branches do not come out in wet, damp weather.

In the spring, when the snow melts, the structure is dismantled, straightening the bush before the start of sap flow. Old 4-5-year-old branches are cut at the root. It is advisable to process the cut points with garden pitch so that the rose does not get sick. Young branches are not cut. The remaining branches can be cut into two buds so that the shoots on them are more powerful. Make sure that when pruning, all the upper buds look outward of the bush, and not inward.

Landscaping - ground cover roses

David Austin's extensive collection also includes ground cover roses that can be used to decorate pergolas, gazebos, and create hedges. Flower beds with rose bushes look no less attractive, the whips of which are spread out on the ground and spread their flowers along their entire length.

Standard and climbing roses can be used as carpet, if you give them a weeping shape of lashes.

Attention! Ground cover roses are important not only for creating various landscape design options for a garden, park. They prevent rainfall and winds from destroying the soil layer.

Carpet or ground cover varieties of roses when creating landscape design are planted both singly and in whole groups. Look at the photo how you can use such rose bushes when decorating a site.

Reproduction by root suckers

Root suckers grow from the mother bush annually. They appear on the surface in the form of shoots. A year later, such shoots already acquire their own roots. For reproduction, you need to choose one-year-old root suckers, remove the soil, cut the root. Can be planted in a permanent place.

It should be remembered that you can only take the offspring that grows at a distance of a meter from the mother bush. Then its root system is minimally injured.

Choosing a site for planting

Before you start planting a plant, you should decide on a place. For this culture, a well-lit area with the sun is more suitable, which will be well ventilated from each side. However, it is possible to place the future bush in partial shade - this is not critical. When planting a rose, you need to take into account the composition of the soil.

For park varieties, soil is suitable:

• contains many nutrients;
• loose in structure;
• easy;
• characterized by a high presence of humus in the composition with a total acidity of pH 6-7.

Loam most of all corresponds to such characteristics. If the planting is carried out in sandy soil, then it will be necessary to add fertilizers corresponding to the composition.

Prevention of diseases and pests

Park roses sometimes suffer from powdery mildew and spheroteca. If you do not take action, plants may even die. For prophylaxis, in the spring, before the beginning of the growing season, all the bushes are sprayed with a solution of ferrous sulfate, and during flowering - with modern drugs.

The most common pests are weevils, aphids, spider mites and leaf rollers. They damage buds, leaves, buds, flowers. In order to prevent the appearance of pests, the bushes should be fed on time and correctly, the soil should be loosened regularly, and weeds should be removed. When watering, try to water only the area near the trunk to avoid excessive moisture.In the event of an invasion of intruders, spray the plants with Vermitek, Aktofit or Fitoverm.

Proper care of roses and timely prevention reduces the likelihood of pests to a minimum.

Roses in flower beds

English bush roses are an important element for the design of flower beds. The uniqueness of the ostins is that the flowering lasts a long time, the buds with double centers attract the eyes, they never get sloppy.

Attention! Varietal variety allows you to create any "ornaments", if you add flowers to the flower beds, combined with roses.

Features of flowering and pruning

Plant pruning should be carried out in accordance with the rules for the formation of an ornamental culture and in a timely manner. The main pruning is carried out in the spring and consists in removing dead branches and thinning part of the shoots in order to stimulate flowering. Cut the stems at a 45 ° angle using a sharp, clean pruner. Diseased shoots are cut to a healthy area, and the branches to be thinned should be cut 5-6 mm above the bud. On grafted roses, it may be necessary to periodically remove wild root growth to ground level.

Tips for beginner gardeners

The most favorable period for planting roses is the second half of September-early October. Weather conditions at this time are most suitable for plant adaptation. In autumn, the soil has not yet cooled from the summer heat, and there is enough precipitation, which contributes to better rooting of seedlings in comparison with spring planting.

Park rose

In spring, roses can also be planted, but this should be done when the ground is warmed up to a temperature of 10 ° C.

What are the zones?

4 zones of winter hardiness - what is it? The winter hardiness zone is the climatic zone of the Earth where this or that plant can grow. They are based on average annual temperature indicators. Also indicate the minimum temperature values ​​in certain areas. The most complete temperature scale in use today is called the USDA.

Russia is no exception, and is also divided into climatic zones. Some large cities belong to the following frost resistance indicators:

• Zone 1 - Batagay, Tiksi.
• Zone 2 - the main territory of the country, Novosibirsk, Krasnoyarsk, Yakutsk.
• Zone 3 - Magadan, Vorkuta.
• Zone 4 - Moscow, Moscow region, Ufa, Chelyabinsk.
• Zone 5 - St. Petersburg, Voronezh, Bryansk, Saratov.
• Zone 6.7 - Krasnodar.

Thus, nursery roses should be chosen adapted for zones 1-4 and partially 5.

And we wrote about the best varieties for Siberia, the Urals and central Russia here.

What plants are unpretentious?

The current range of roses is about 15,000 varieties. They all differ in:

• 
  color;

• size;
• form;
• smell.

There are about 60 plant species in our country. But frost-resistant varieties of flowers that can grow and winter in a harsh climate require special attention. Their total number is difficult to determine, because every year breeders breed all new types of roses that could survive at a temperature of -40 ° C.

Why are roses pruned?

Roses grow well in warm climates. They prefer heat over frost, so for the winter the plants are carefully covered and protected from the cold.
Overgrown bushes with many shoots are difficult to neatly hide under the film. In addition, their branches intertwine, interfering with air exchange. This threatens them with decay and the subsequent appearance of diseases.

Plants look much more attractive after trimming. Of course, you need to follow the rules for pruning branches and find out in advance what kind of rose the rose will need. For some varieties, a stronger shortening of the shoots is desirable, for others, a simple pinching is enough.

For soils, like many species from the group, it is not demanding. It looks very decorative during the period of snow-white flowering and in autumn, when the bushes are strewn with red fruits that remain on them until next year.

Description

Often a park rose is also called a cultivated rosehip: indeed, these plants are very similar. However, the rose has double petals, which gives its flowers more splendor in comparison with the rosehip.

The rose bush reaches a height of one and a half meters, and it grows strongly in width. Therefore, when planting, it is immediately necessary to allocate enough free space for the plant, taking into account future growth.

The shrub begins to bloom early and continues to bloom for 4-5 weeks. Rose flowers are very beautiful - double, lush, delicate, exuding a pleasant aroma. One such flower can have up to 150 petals (see photo).

As for the color of the petals, the palette in this case is very wide. A park rose can be any shade from white to red. Rare black, purple, rich orange varieties have also been bred.

In Europe, park roses do not cover for the winter, but in our climate it is desirable to do this. However, it is possible for Russia to pick up such varieties that do not require shelter.

Use in design

Park roses are great for decorating gardens, parks, city streets.Plants look great throughout the growing season, even when not in bloom.

Park roses can be mono-planted, as well as included in the composition, shading other plants with their beauty. This shrub looks great as a decoration for gazebos, arched openings, as the background of flower beds.

They are often used for landscaping streets, since they can grow even in conditions of strong gas pollution. You can use a tall shrub as a hedge element: both decoration and benefit.

In favorable conditions and with the necessary care, the park rose can easily live up to 25 years, annually pleasing with its flowers.

Care

Roses need to be fed in a timely manner, to which the queens will respond with gratitude in the form of a lush bloom. The procedure is performed in spring during bud formation and in summer during bud opening. In the fall, feeding is not needed, as it will provoke the growth of new shoots before frost, which is undesirable. At least once a week, the bushes are watered. If the summer turned out to be especially dry, then the frequency of the procedure should be at least doubled. Watering is carried out in the early morning or late evening, so that the roots of the rose in the heated soil are not "boiled" alive in boiling water. Loosening of the soil must also be carried out in a timely manner. The root system necessarily requires access to oxygen, which closes tightly compacted soil. Mulching the soil is possible, which will prevent the growth of weeds around the rose garden. Some varieties need to be covered for the winter. In the spring, diseased shoots are cut off so that it is easier for the plant to drive out strong shoots, and it does not waste juices on weak ones. Three times a season, flowers are sprayed with special formulations from pests and diseases.

General information

It is park roses that are often used when decorating large summer cottages and park areas. Almost all varieties are frost-resistant, and their flowering occurs for quite a long time. Even in case of frostbite of the bush in cold winter, new young shoots appear from the root in spring, and the bush grows again.

Park roses of modern varieties bloom in the first half of summer, earlier than other groups, and bloom profusely for more than a month.

This group of roses includes old garden roses, which were cultivated with decorative rose hips (alba and rugosa rose), and more modern hybrids, which are winter-hardy varieties of selections in Canada and America.

It should be noted that there is some information that in the 19th century varieties of French, Damascus and Columbus roses were planted in Russian gardens. And most of them wintered well under a large snow cover without shelter.

Today, there are remontant varieties - with two flowering per season.

Planting flowers

Park roses can be planted individually or in groups. And you can form whole hedges from these flowers. Planting plants is not difficult, but it requires some additional work and adherence to the correct sequence of actions.

Optimal timing

These flowers grow outdoors, so they need to be planted in the warm season. You can start planting bushes from May and carry it out until mid-autumn.

For good rooting and growth, it is better to plant plants in late September or even early October. In this case, they will have time to grow roots and will be stronger and more developed compared to flowers planted in spring.

Preparatory work

In order for the bushes to take root and take root better when planting on the site, you need to prepare the soil and the seedlings themselves.

Before planting plants, it is recommended to carry out several mandatory actions:

• a month before planting, dig up the soil on the site to a depth of about 60 cm;
• add mineral and organic fertilizers to the soil to enrich it with all the necessary nutrients;
• if it is impossible to immediately plant the seedlings, then their roots must be dipped in water or wrapped in a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out;
• 2 weeks before planting, dig holes in the soil with a diameter of 90 cm and a depth of about 70 cm. The recesses should be wide so that the straightened roots of the seedlings fit in them.

Gardeners also grow rose varieties such as:

Landing technology

After the plot and seedlings are prepared, you can proceed directly to planting flowers. This process is not difficult, but it requires some rules to be followed.

Step-by-step instructions for planting park roses are presented below:

1. The distance between adjacent bushes in the same row should be 1–1.5 m, so that adult plants do not grow close to each other.
2. The distance between rows of bushes should be at least 3 m.
3. Mix the soil obtained by digging holes with manure.
4. Pour a little of this mixture into each groove and pour well with water.
5. Prune bruised and damaged roots of seedlings with pruning shears. Cut off the tips of the ground part of the shoots, leaving three eyes on each of them.
6. Place the roots of the seedling in the hole, spread them out and sprinkle with soil. Tamp the soil around the plants well.
7. Water the plants and spud them to a height of 20–25 cm.
8. If planting is carried out in the fall, then mulch the soil around the bushes. Peat or chopped straw can be used as mulch.

Did you know? The oldest rose bush grows in the German town of Hildesheim near the cathedral. The plant is about 1000 years old.

If the bushes of plants are to form a hedge, then they are planted closer to each other. The distance between the rows is 50–70 cm, and between neighboring plants in the same row - up to 1 m.

Plant characteristics

Such plants usually grow up to 150 centimeters in height. Park plants bloom densely and for a long time - more than one month. The color of the flowers can vary from faded to bright shades, often orange or yellowish in color. Park specimens require a spacious area, since they grow very much in breadth. In warm countries, flowers do not need shelter, but in Russia, roses must be covered during frosts.

Flowers of this species have a significant advantage, which lies in their amazing endurance and undemanding care. This is due to the fact that the park flowers were bred on the basis of wild rose hips, which have been cultivated for a long time, and have passed selection selection. It is also worth noting that all these unique flowers are conventionally divided into two varieties: varieties with single and double flowering.

Characteristics

A general brief description of park roses is as follows: these are densely leafy and beautifully flowering shrubs, reaching a height of 150 centimeters, sometimes 200. The group earned this name for its magnificent landscape appearance. In favorable conditions, these plants form lush flowering bushes that bear fruit.

They are usually planted in groups, in combination with other plants or singly. In general, they are beautifully flowering shrubs, not inferior to mock orange or lilac. And in autumn, these bushes are attractive due to the bright colorful color of the leaves and ripe numerous fruits.

Flowers up to 7 cm in diameter have quite a few shades, and each has its own originality and beauty. There are flowers of white, red, pink, purple, orange and yellow colors. The bushes of this group begin to bloom 2-3 weeks earlier than other groups of roses. Most varieties have beautiful lush double flowers. The leaves have a light gray bloom.

Features of the climate of the Moscow region

The climate in the Moscow region is moderately continental. Continentality is better expressed in the eastern and southeastern regions. The seasons in the Moscow region have clear boundaries. So, winters are very cold and summers are warm.

The number of days in a year at which the average temperature does not exceed 0 ° C is from 120 to 135 days.January is especially frosty. This month the thermometer often drops to -30 ... -25 ° C. There was a case when the temperature dropped to -54 ° C (date not specified). The thickness of the snow cover here rarely exceeds 30-50 cm. And the soil freezes to a depth of 0.75 m.

Summers can be cool and humid or warm and dry. It depends on the impact on the region of cyclones and anticyclones. The temperature at this time of the year varies between + 15 ... + 30 ° C. Below +10 ° C and above +35 ° C, it is rare. Drought periods during the season can be followed by rainy periods.

Preparing roses for winter

Since the beginning of August, the application of nitrogen fertilizers to the soil is stopped, but just at this time it is necessary to carry out the first strengthening podwinny root feeding of roses, which consists of 25 g of superphosphate, 2.5 g of boric acid (or 3.5 g of borax) and 10 g of sulfate potassium dissolved in 10 liters of water. This amount of mortar should be enough for 4 m² of area.

But it is better, instead of root, to carry out foliar treatments of roses - to spray the bushes on the leaves with the same solutions, but in a concentration three times less than with root dressing.

From the beginning of autumn, they also stop loosening the soil under the bushes, so as not to provoke the growth of shoots from dormant buds, and from mid-September they pluck out all the buds that are smaller than a pea, and those that are larger in size are allowed to ripen and form fruits.

What is winter hardiness and how is it determined?

Winter hardiness is the properties of plants to withstand various environmental factors in the autumn-spring period. Winter hardiness includes some concepts: cold hardiness is a characteristic of the variety, which gives the ability to withstand low positive temperatures from +0 to + 10 ° C, frost resistance - determining the ability of plants not to die at low negative temperatures.

Winter hardiness is a trait responsible for the viability of a rose in areas with harsh climatic conditions, the ability to withstand a whole range of adverse conditions. Among them:

• sharp temperature drops;
• return frosts;
• icing;
• snow and wind load;
• long thaws;
• winter desiccation.

This indicator, first of all, depends on the genetic predisposition, but it can also change due to the conditions of the summer growing season.
Nice weather in summer:

• sufficient rainfall;
• optimal humidity;
• sunlight;
• warmth stimulates excellent growth and full development;
• and also affect the degree of color fastness.

When choosing a variety, it is advisable to focus on local types of roses, adapted to these climatic conditions.

Variety and varieties of roses

Roses differ in color, bud size, leaf shape and bushes height. Together with hybrids, the number of their varieties totals more than 3000. In landscape design, there is a single classification according to which plants are divided into three large groups:

• Evergreen bush. They are characterized by fast growth and a long flowering period. Evergreen shrubs include bourbon, polyanthus, hybrid tea, Bengal, tea and noisette roses.
• With leaves falling before winter. These include white, damask, centifol and French roses.
• Goethey (weaving). Climbing roses of this group have very poetic names: Ave Maria, Gloria Deya, Orange Elf, Concerte, Virgo.

An important characteristic for the queen of flowers is her doubleness, that is, the ability to increase the number of petals in one bud, in comparison with the wild-growing analogue. Based on this property, three types of plants are distinguished:

• Simple.
• Semi-double.
• Terry.

In the latter, the number of petals in one bud can be more than 150. Also, flowers are classified according to another characteristic - the height of the bushes:

• Curb.
• Medium-sized.
• Tall.
• Groundcover. In this group, weaving and undersized varieties are combined.

Roses vary in color.The color of the bud is perhaps the most important feature on which they rely in the first place when choosing. In addition to the four above-mentioned colors, roses can be burgundy, brown, orange, purple, purple, fuchsia. There are several dozen special varieties in which the petals have an unusual color from a combination of two shades and their halftones. Hybrids are of great importance in landscape design. Artificially bred varieties by crossing bring variety to garden areas, thanks to their unusual shape, special terry or extraordinary color.

Hybrids are classified into the following groups, which combine several dozen species:

• Floribunda roses. The group arose after crossing the tea and polyanthus varieties. It includes miniature curb roses and bushes, reaching a height of more than 1 meter. Floribunda is characterized by "bouquet" flowering, that is, its semi-double buds form lush brushes.
• Hybrid teahouses. They are distinguished by increased immunity to diseases, but are extremely sensitive to frost, therefore, the bushes are grown only in the south. This group includes all varieties that were bred on the basis of a tea rose. Their color palette starts with yellow and ends with pale orange.
• Rugosa hybrids. They were obtained after selection experiments with wrinkled rose hips. The main advantage of the variety is its frost resistance. Rugosa hybrids are unpretentious in care, varied in the degree of terry, and most often become the center of park compositions. There is no need to cover the plants for the winter.
• Hybrids of Grandiflora. Plants are erect, visually reminiscent of a tea variety, but with abundant bouquet flowering, like Floribunda. The varieties are not afraid of frost and bloom for a long time.

• Polyanthus. They are the result of crossing Chinese and multi-flowered roses. The bushes have small buds, collected in "brushes". They bloom for a very long time until the first frost, which, by the way, is also not afraid. Due to their diminutive size, polyanthus roses are often used to decorate window sills in potted homes.
• Shrubs. A special group that includes weaving and undersized varieties.
• Miniature. They vaguely resemble polyanthus, but their height does not exceed half a meter. They are grown both outdoors and in pots. Bloom for a long time until the first frost.
• Climbing. They are unofficially called the “queens” of landscape design. The bushes are distinguished by their impressive height, which is why they need artificial supports. Easily get the desired shape after a haircut, unpretentious in care. They can have simple buds and double buds.
• Patio. They are similar to miniature ones, as they grow poorly, but their tiny buds are collected in fluffy bouquets. Often used to create design compositions on the landscape of personal plots. Look great in single lawns, border flower beds along the edges of garden paths and in individual hanging pots-pots on the street.

As can be seen from the classification, the queen of flowers can have many guises and each variety has its own characteristics. It will be quite difficult for fans to cope with a capricious "lady" in the garden, but floriculture lends itself to stubborn ones.

Thanks to the rich "assortment" of roses, they can be selected both for the mild southern climate and for the harsh winters of Siberia, and the exuberantly blooming garden will become a source of pride for the owners and the envy of neighbors.

The most resilient

Siberia is famous for its harsh climate. Not all plants can withstand such weather conditions: in winter the air temperature is up to -50 ° С, in summer up to + 30 ° С. Flowers, and even more so heat-loving roses, simply do not survive there.

However, nothing is impossible, varieties have been bred that can grow and develop excellently even in such a difficult climate.

Therese bugnet

It took breeders 25 long years to get this variety. But now it is in great demand, because it is unpretentious and frost-resistant, and also has practically no thorns.

Wintering

Although park roses are frost resistant, winter preparation is an important part of grooming. It is especially important for young plants up to 3 years old. To do this, after flowering, all the buds and leaves are removed, and then the soil is piled up along the entire diameter to a depth of 30 cm.

It is necessary to mulch the ground, which will save the roots from hypothermia. The stems are tied tightly to a support and then wrapped in craft paper or cotton cloth. When grown in the north, it is advisable to additionally use spruce branches or agrofibre.

Flowering period

As already stated, winter hardiness is a characteristic of various types of roses. And the start time and duration of flowering depends on a particular subspecies.

1. Hybrid tea varieties bloom in several stages, starting from May until the cold weather (read about the history of origin and the peculiarities of growing such varieties of roses here, and the hybrid tea variety Ashram is described here).
2. Park roses usually bloom in the summer, around the end of May - June.
3. Climbing can be pleasing to the eye from spring to autumn, but some varieties bloom once in early summer.
4. Ground blooms bloom magnificently at the end of May, and the process lasts until the very frost.
