Park rose is a shrub plant that can reach three meters in height. This type of rose can be called the most unpretentious. The plant blooms early, and already at the end of spring it will delight you with beautiful double flowers. Their color is varied: from white to rich yellow, burgundy, and orange. Park rose is considered a frost-resistant plant. The plant tolerates heat well. Therefore, it is widely grown in Russia. Even in snowless winters it does not require shelter. Within the city, roses are planted as single bushes and used as part of flower arrangements. It is also possible to personal plot planting a park rose; planting and caring for it in the open ground will not cause any difficulties.

The best varieties of park roses can bloom all season. Flower buds form on last year's and new shoots, although repeat flowering is characterized by fewer flowers. Most often you can see English and Canadian roses in gardens. Canadian varieties are frost-resistant; they can withstand temperatures down to -35°. The cultivation of English varieties is justified by their long flowering. You can also plant a German variety, for example, Westerland. Rose Westerland blooms with beautiful orange flowers. The variety is distinguished by its exceptional resistance to precipitation and frost. Can be grown as a bush or climbing rose. Used to decorate hedges. We present the most popular of park roses.

English varieties of park roses

Among the English varieties, the best are considered:

Canadian varieties of park roses include:

• John Davis. It is the best variety for growing in the Moscow region. May bloom until the first frost. The bushes of this variety are large, growing up to two meters in height and width, which must be taken into account when planting. The flowers are light pink, collected in clusters of 15 pieces, very fragrant. The variety is disease resistant.
• John Franklin. A beautiful rose of bright red color with a light aroma. Blooms with single flowers and small inflorescences. This variety has neat bushes no more than one meter wide. John Franklin roses are resistant to severe drought, sun, and immune to disease.
• Morden Sunrice. The bush is up to a meter high, up to 65 cm wide. Frost-resistant variety, blooms twice in summer. The flowers are large, bright orange.

Necessary conditions for growing park roses

To grow park roses, you should choose an area that is well lit, but light shade is also acceptable. The main thing is to avoid drafts. When planted in an area with humus and loose soil, it produces abundant and long-lasting lush flowering. It is optimal to choose loamy soil for planting. If the soil is heavy, rotted compost and sand in equal parts are placed in the planting holes. Add compost with clay to sandy soils. Fertile soil is the key to ensuring that young park rose seedlings take root well.

After planting, seedlings require a lot of moisture, although park roses are sensitive to excessive dampness. Young bushes are watered with soft water every day. The above-ground parts of the seedlings are not wetted. Wet stems and leaves lead to the development of diseases, in particular powdery mildew.

Adult park roses are watered abundantly in late spring and mid-summer. One bucket per bush once a week will be enough. Usually it is necessary to pour out enough water to wet the soil to a depth of 50 cm. Frequent watering will harm the plant. Lack of moisture, as well as excessive watering, leads to a decrease in the number of buds and the duration of flowering.

Growing seedlings in open ground

Park roses are planted starting in mid-May. The second landing is planned for the end of August. Planting seedlings in the fall will allow them to take root before frost. Throughout the growing season, seedlings with a closed root system can be planted. It is better to use two-year-old shoots; they adapt faster to new conditions.

Before planting, it is necessary to prepare the seedlings:

• Trim the roots to 1 cm.
• Trim elongated roots to one third of their total length.
• Remove dried and damaged shoots, trim damaged roots.
• Shoots are shortened to 4 buds.
• The night before planting, place the seedlings in a container of water.
• Before planting, roll the roots of the shoots in the clay mixture.

The soil must be prepared 14 days before planting. It is recommended to add a mixture of humus, superphosphate and wood ash. The applied fertilizer will be enough for the plant for the whole year. Rooted seedlings are fed only when no fertilizers were applied before planting. Then it is better to fertilize the roses with mullein infusion.

Adult park rose bushes need to be fed with different fertilizers, depending on the season. What fertilizers to use and application rates? During the period of growth of young shoots and bud opening, potassium salt, urea and superphosphate can be used. Use the liquid mullein solution when all the leaves have bloomed. During the period of flowering and bud formation - superphosphate, and after flowering, rotted compost or humus.

Growing park roses from cuttings

For propagation by cuttings, the best period for central Russia is spring; in the south, cuttings are planted in autumn.

Autumn planting with cuttings

You can plant park rose flowers in the fall; to do this, you need to cut off young shoots with flowers from a blooming rose. The flowers are removed and the shoot is divided into parts so that 2-3 leaves remain on each. Make an oblique cut in the area of ​​the lower bud, and a straight cut slightly above the upper bud. Prepare a container of water and dissolve 1/4 of a Heteroauxin tablet in it. This is a growth stimulator; cuttings should be left in it for half an hour before planting.

Cuttings are planted in loose and moist soil, sprinkled with a small amount of sand. Planting depth - 2 cm. Cover with empty plastic bottles. The shoots should be sprayed with water several times a day for a month without watering. Humidity with this method is maintained at 90%.

In a month the cuttings will take root. Plastic bottles are removed. How to cover park roses for the winter? The cuttings are sprinkled with dry sand and covered with spruce branches on top. Full-fledged seedlings that are ready for transplanting into a flower garden will be obtained in a year.

Spring planting by cuttings

Annual shoots for spring planting are cut in the fall. The foliage is removed from the cuttings, wrapped in plastic wrap and stored at a temperature of +2-+3°C until spring. At the beginning of May or in mid-April, the cuttings are taken out and divided into 15 cm pieces. The shoots need to be planted in fertile soil, buried to the top bud, covered with a thick film. A month later, when the cuttings take root, the film is removed.

Reproduction by root suckers

Root suckers grow from the mother bush every year. They appear on the surface in the form of shoots. After a year, such shoots already acquire their own roots. For propagation, you need to select one-year-old root shoots, remove the soil, and trim 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.

Reproduction by dividing the bush

Dividing a bush is labor-intensive, but very effective method getting one or more rose bushes. In spring or autumn, the bush is dug up, its rhizome is divided into separate bushes with roots. The resulting parts of the plant are planted in open ground according to the method of planting seedlings. After planting in the second year, they will delight you with their flowers.

Prevention of diseases and pests

Park roses are susceptible to diseases such as powdery mildew and spheroteca. They can lead to plant death. For prevention, it is necessary to spray roses with a solution of iron sulfate. If the rose is already blooming, you can use a sulfur solution, which consists of a kilogram of fresh lime, 300 g of sulfur and 10 liters of water.

The park rose needs to be wary of pests: raspberry weevil, garden beetle, spider mite and leaf roller. The buds are mainly affected by the larvae of these insects. Adults feed on leaves, flowers and buds. The following measures can prevent the appearance of park rose pests:

• Timely feeding for better growth.
• Watering only the trunk circles without moistening the ground organs.
• Regular loosening of the soil in the tree trunk circle.
• Removing weeds.
• Spraying with insecticides based on avermectin preparations. These are Fitoverm, Aktofit, Vermitek. They will be able to destroy adults and larvae.

1. If you water rose bushes in small doses, the root system will grow chaotically. The roots will be located near the surface of the earth, which promotes freezing.
2. TO better development The bush is caused by deep roots. The life expectancy of the bush and its resistance to negative temperatures directly depend on this.
3. At the end of summer, when sufficient rainfall occurs, watering should be reduced. In the fall, stop completely, otherwise the bushes will begin to produce young shoots. She will not have time to get stronger before frost and will die.
4. In regions where dry weather prevails, when planting park rose seedlings, hydrogel is added to the planting holes. It helps maintain the optimal amount of moisture.
5. Pruning park roses in the first three years is irrational.
6. Young shoots are pruned by 5-7 cm at the end of summer. This procedure will help you survive the winter easier; it promotes the formation of stronger growth.
7. It is necessary to organize winter shelter for young seedlings. They should be spudded and wrapped in non-woven material in 2-3 layers. This will help protect the bushes from bright winter light, strong winds and temperature changes.
8. Mature park rose bushes that cannot boast of frost resistance should be spudded and covered with film in late autumn. The optimal temperature for shelter is +5 degrees.

For novice gardeners, park roses may seem difficult to grow. In fact, this is not true. It is not difficult to grow beautiful park roses, planting and caring for which does not require much effort. With proper care, fertilizing, and proper watering, the park rose will delight you with an abundance of charming fragrant flowers for 25 years.

Park roses – great option for decorating the garden in harsh Russian conditions. After all, in our climate it is so difficult to grow many varieties of beautiful plants, but among these roses there are excellent winter-hardy varieties. Therefore, it is very important that this type of roses in most cases can be left for the winter without shelter. In this way, park roses resemble other shrubs, such as lilacs. Therefore, they are perfect for the middle zone, for example, Moscow and the Moscow region.

General properties

Park roses are the same ordinary wild rose hips, only cultivated. Their height under favorable conditions reaches 1.5 meters. Moreover, their flowering period begins at the very beginning of June, sometimes even at the end of May.

Park roses delight with a variety of shades: from white to red. There are even shades that are exotic for roses, such as orange and purple. The flowers themselves are distinguished by their doubleness. Their number can be up to 150 pieces. This cannot be found in any of the other varieties of roses.

The wonderful flowering period lasts more than a month. However, the benefits of park roses do not end there. They will please the eye even in the fall. Thanks to the picturesque coloring of leaves and fruits in autumn, these varieties look no less impressive than in summer. At the same time, they look advantageous both in single seating and in a group.

The history of the appearance of park roses began before our era. Thus, there is information that they decorated the gardens of the pharaohs; they were admired in Ancient Greece. Over time, new varieties of park roses were developed. The following popular varieties have appeared: hybrid tea, polyanthus. They acquired a new quality - they began to have repeated flowering. Naturally, they supplanted their predecessors.

Currently, the work of breeders to develop new varieties of roses continues. Not so long ago, “English roses” were bred.

Landing Features

In order for roses to be comfortable, and for them to delight you with the riot of their blooms for a long time, you should provide them with a well-ventilated place. In addition, it should be quite sunny. Of course, roses will grow in a semi-dark place, but in this case their flowering will not be as abundant. Therefore, you should not plant park roses near large trees.

Advice! These plants love light. Avoid drafts.

Park roses are not capricious in terms of soil. Almost any type of soil is suitable for them, but it is better to use clay soil, which contains a large number of humus. It is important that the soil is well saturated with oxygen. If the soil is heavy, it can be improved by simply adding peat or compost. However, too light soil may also not be suitable. In this case, it is recommended to fertilize it with manure or turf soil.

Nuances of care

The best time to plant park roses is autumn. It is advisable to do this between mid-September and the first frost. Thus, if you are planning to plant park roses, then you need to do this before the second half of autumn. In such a situation, the plant will have time to create new roots. This will give him some advantage in development in the spring.

Advice! Prepare the soil a couple of weeks before planting occurs.

It is best to prune shoots in the spring. Dig a hole deep enough for the roots to grow freely. Pour compost soil with some bone meal into the hole. Feeding will be required only after a year. Position the roots in such a way as to prevent them from bending upward. Seedlings should be kept at such a height that the root collar is several centimeters below the ground. Fill the hole and compact it. Water the rose. If you plant in the fall, prepare it for future frosts. Make fairly high mounds. Roses should be opened in early April.

For the first three years after planting, the plant should be provided with the following care:

• often loosen the soil around the bushes;
• fertilize with special fertilizers three to four times during the summer;
• fertilize with manure in the fall;
• spray the stems from approximately May to June with special substances that stimulate growth. It is enough to do this two or three times. This will encourage the formation of side shoots.

Advice! It is important to provide careful care during this period, since at this time the process of formation of the main stems of the plant occurs, as well as the formation of a strong root system.

Bush pruning is essential. At the same time, for the first couple of years after planting, you should not prune almost ever. After this period, the plant must be shaped into a bowl, leaving only the most stable and powerful shoots. Weak and flaccid ones should be removed.

Caring for park roses is complicated by the fact that over time the bushes grow and they lose their well-groomed appearance. This means that the time has come for pruning, which will somewhat rejuvenate the bush. The oldest stems should be cut off in the fall and, for the most part, small shoots and non-flowering branches should also be removed. Therefore pruning is necessary.

Advice! Park roses are distinguished by their excessive “prickliness”. So be prepared with gardening gloves and a canvas apron to avoid injury.

Features of preparation for winter

Park roses should be prepared especially carefully for winter. Although mature bushes are resistant to frost and do not need to be covered. But if your bush is still young enough, then it should be provided with shelter for the winter. To do this you should:

• cover the base of the bushes with earth;
• wrap the branches with craft paper, preferably in several layers.

Description of the benefits of the variety:

• disease resistance;
• winter hardiness;
• resistance of flowers to rain.

The Westerland flower has the properties of a chameleon: as it blooms, it changes color depending on weather conditions. In sunny weather it turns pink with a yellow core. In cloudy conditions, the flowers take on a deep pink hue and may remain that way until they fall off.

Westerlands bloom repeatedly - this is another positive characteristic of them. Almost all summer this variety will delight you with its rich, beautiful flowers. The flower is semi-double. The foliage of the bush has a rich, juicy green color with an olive tint.

Advice! This variety of roses requires garter due to the fragility of the shoots. It is good to plant it near the wall so that it serves as a support. The plant should be covered for the winter.

Chippendale

This chameleon rose is relatively young. Breeders bred it in 2006 and awarded it with such an original name, in which some hear the names of well-known characters from the popular animated series, while others hear it as a reference to the famous English furniture factory.

Rose Chippendale (see photo) has the following characteristic features:

• large flowers;
• bright orange color at the beginning of flowering, pink at the end;
• densely double;
• classic vintage appearance;
• interesting aroma;
• dark green shiny foliage.

Shrub roses are distinguished by the fact that they bloom profusely throughout the season. They bloom again. If you plant it in the middle zone, including in the Moscow region, then the rose requires shelter.

Louis-audier

This rose belongs to the “park bush” variety and has neat double large flowers (see photo).

The flowers of the Louis-audiere bush flowers are cup-shaped. The bush itself is quite powerful. The foliage is a pleasant pale green color. Planting this rose has the following feature: it requires a secluded place. It should be planted away from other plants. Ideally, it can be placed in the center of the flower bed. It goes well with coniferous shrubs, such as spruce, pine and fir.

Rose "Chinatown"

This interesting type of bush roses (see photo) is suitable for the middle zone of our country. But for successful wintering it needs to be covered during the cold season. The variety is good both for single planting and for forming a group composition in a rose garden.

Description of the variety:

• creamy yellow inflorescences with small dark pink splashes;
• goblet-shaped buds;
• persistent pleasant aroma;
• abundant flowering.

Rosa Canadian park Prairie Joy

Another worthy variety of park rose. Under favorable conditions, it can reach 150 cm in height and 125 cm in width. The variety has fairly large flowers that have a pleasant, characteristic, but weak aroma. The color of the buds is deep pink (see photo).

The flowering period of the variety begins around the end of June and continues throughout the season with short breaks. This species differs from others in that both densely double and semi-double inflorescences can form on the same bush. The plant has a strong and branched bush. The advantages of the Canadian rose include its low thorniness.

The Prairie Joy variety is quite demanding on the soil, so planting should be done on soil that is saturated with humus and sufficiently moisture-absorbing. Therefore, we can say that the variety requires special care. This plant is winter-resistant, and therefore suitable for the conditions of central Russia, since it does not require additional shelter in preparation for winter. The bush is good for group planting: for example, in a rose garden. Requires light pruning.

All of the varieties listed are excellent for the Moscow region.

Thus, beautiful plants can be grown in the conditions of central Russia, including Moscow and the Moscow region. Many of the varieties of park roses are unpretentious in care and do not require shelter for the winter. At the same time, there are also quite delicate varieties that require careful care and attention. Anyone can grow such a small miracle. The main thing is to carry out pruning and other care correctly.

Park roses - this name is firmly attached to cultivated rose hips - their types, forms and varieties. There are several independent groups of park roses: wild roses themselves, among which are the famous wrinkled rose, ancient garden (park) roses, as well as modern breeding hybrids.

Abundant flowering begins in late May - early June, 2-3 weeks earlier than all other roses, and lasts more than 1 month. The color of the flowers varies from white to dark purple, sometimes orange and yellow are found. Planting and caring for park roses is distinguished by its simplicity, since these plants are not whimsical and not demanding.

Breeders have achieved excellent results, and modern hybrids are no less spectacular than polyanthus or floribunda, they grow well, are easy to care for and are strewn with fragrant flowers of varying degrees of terry for 1.5-2 months. And in terms of the richness of their color range, they have long been close to hybrid tea roses.

Canadian park roses

Canadian park rose.

Canadian park roses were invented specifically for the masses of people, since their care is minimal, and therefore, accordingly, they are easy to grow. They do not require pruning, are extremely winter-hardy, and tolerate weather conditions such as heat and severe frosts.

From the very beginning, this “new” among park varieties was conceived by Canadian scientists to withstand the harsh winter that is typical of their climate. This species can survive at temperatures as low as -35 °C, even at -45 °C.

Canadian roses look great not only in compositions, but also as individual bushes. They can be planted almost anywhere. They bloom in two waves, with the second wave, as usual, being less abundant. Some do not remove faded shoots, as a result of which the bushes end up strewn with numerous fruits, which also looks quite decorative in the fall.

Below are the varieties of Canadian park roses.

English park roses

English park rose.

English park roses come in different forms: bush and climbing. The exclusivity of this type lies in the highly double flower (more than 100 petals) and a wide range of scents. They are distinguished by exquisite cascading branches covered with dense pom-pom-like buds. They are planted both in partial shade and in the sun.

Caring for such roses is not difficult, but not as simple as caring for their Canadian relatives. Among the disadvantages of this type is susceptibility to diseases and pests, average resistance to frost. English park roses must be covered for the winter.

Planting park roses

Where is the best place to plant? The principles of choosing a location and planting for all park roses are the same, especially since they are drought-resistant and undemanding to soil. Most species are photophilous and grow well in moderately humid conditions. loamy soils, do not tolerate waterlogging well. They are used for planting in groups or individually in parks and gardens, for decorating fences, walls, and combined plantings with other shrubs and ornamental plants.

These plants look good both in groups and individually.

Among the park roses, single-blooming roses predominate, in last years Varieties of remontant, multi-blooming roses have been developed. Due to the fact that many varieties are bred on the basis of hardy wild rose hips, they bloom profusely with minimal care. Such roses are distinguished by their undemanding conditions for planting and growing, and do not require complex agricultural technology.

Landing. It should be noted that those planted in the fall, before the first frost arrives (until mid-October), park rose bushes will have time to take root, and therefore will develop better and outpace those plants of this class that were planted in the spring. Plants are placed at a distance of 1.5 m from each other according to a 3.0 x 1.5 m pattern. When creating a high hedge, the planting density in the rows is 50-100 cm, between the rows - 50-70 cm.

Before planting, organic and mineral fertilizers are applied. The above-ground part is cut off, leaving no more than 1/3 of the length of the shoots. The planting hole should be large enough for the roots to lie down (not bend upward), and the grafting site (root collar) should be 5-10 cm under the soil. After planting, roses are hilled up to a height of 25 cm. In spring, the soil is leveled. The soil under the bushes and between them is mulched with peat and straw crumbs.

Caring for park roses

Due to the unpretentiousness of this group of roses, minimal care is required. They practically do not require insulation for the winter or make do with light shelter even in regions with a rather harsh climate.

In spring, complete mineral fertilizer is applied in liquid form (necessarily after abundant watering). Fertilizing is carried out a year after planting. Watering is required from spring to mid-summer, carried out early in the morning or evening in the absence of rain, no more than 2 - 3 times a week, but abundantly, the soil should be deeply moistened, shallow frequent watering is not recommended.

The main thing in care is annual formative pruning.

Water at the root, avoiding splashes on the leaves and flowers. At the end of summer - beginning of autumn, roses are not watered so that late young shoots do not grow. Moderate watering is required only during drought in September, more often in the southern regions. These plants are resistant to diseases that affect other types of roses and are rarely attacked by pests.

The main thing in caring for park roses is annual small formative pruning. The fact is that their flowers form on old, lignified branches (in remontant ones, also on young shoots). Therefore, the more main branches, the richer the flowering.

Over time, the bushes grow and lose their decorative appearance. Then anti-aging pruning is carried out. The oldest, 3-5 year old stems are cut off at the base in the fall, most of the small growth and all non-flowering branches are removed. The cuts must be covered with garden varnish or oil paint.

Particular attention should be paid to such an item of plant care as preparation for winter, since young plants are often less resistant to negative winter temperatures; they should still be covered. The bushes are covered with earth, the branches are wrapped in craft paper. Such a simple shelter will allow plants to quietly overwinter and protect them from the bright sun and wind at the end of winter.

Roses of any type and variety are actively used to decorate the garden. Breeders have developed a huge number of varieties of these plants, which differ in size and color. Very often in compositions landscape design you can find Park roses. Let's talk in more detail about the features of growing this type of rose.

Alexander Mackenzie, scrub (Alexander MacKenzie)

A variety of Canadian selection, the bush is very tall and powerful, growing up to 2 meters in height, the leaves and stems are moderately prickly. The flowers are pale, pink-red, double, medium size, old shaped. The buds are very durable, able to withstand unfavorable weather, the disadvantages will be fading in the sun and lack of aroma. The variety can tolerate frosts down to -40 degrees, is rarely susceptible to disease, and blooms all season long;

Moje Hammarberg Hybrid Rugosa

It was bred in Sweden, the flowers are very large and fragrant, rich pink in color with a terry texture. The shrub is powerful and tall (1.5 meters), characterized by the presence of a large number of thorns. The variety is resistant to frost and disease and is a repeat bloomer. Strong winds can quickly destroy blooming buds;

Fisherman's Friend

One of the most popular varieties, belongs to the English selection, is a shrub up to 120 centimeters high. The flowers are very beautiful and fragrant, purple or violet-crimson in color, pleasing to the eye until September. Main feature there will be an arrangement of spines throughout the plant, even on the inside of the leaf. To make it easier to withstand frost, the bush should be bent or covered;

Pimpinellifolia plena

The variety is frost-resistant and does not require special care, the bush is quite tall (1.5 meters), densely covered with thorns. Flowering, during which fruits are set, lasts only 12 days. The buds are fragrant, semi-double, delicate cream color;

John Davis

The variety was bred in Canada, tolerates the conditions of central Russia well and blooms until the onset of the first frost. The shrub is very tall, can grow up to 2.5 meters, the shoots hang down slightly. The buds are collected in inflorescences of 10-12 pieces, the roses themselves are initially painted in a bright pink shade, then they gradually turn pale.

Where did the name Park Roses come from?

The scientific classifier does not have such a concept as . They are better known in gardening circles. This type got its name thanks to appearance, tall and powerful shrubs look impressive in large areas. They are also often used as hedges.

This variety includes wild rose hips and some garden roses and hybrids.

Description of plants

The shrub is very powerful and tall, can reach 1.5 meters in height. Flowering usually begins very early, and the first buds may appear already in late spring or early summer. The color of the flowers depends on the chosen variety. The buds of park roses can be painted white, yellow, pink, purple and other colors.

Terry roses are very popular, with one bud containing 150 petals.

One of the main advantages of these varieties is their beautiful appearance not only during flowering, but also after it. In autumn, the rosehip bush is covered with bright and eye-catching fruits.

The birthplace of various varieties is considered Canada, England, France, Sweden and other European countries.

1. In the first case (Canada) roses are more unpretentious both in terms of weather and care, so they are often planted in areas with cold and unpredictable temperature conditions. They were bred by Canadian breeders specifically for the harsh climate of their country.
2. Among European varieties, the most popular roses are those bred by breeders David Austin, Cordes, Meyyan and Tantau. These plants are less tolerant of cold weather and may require additional preparation or shelter.

Features of this type

Just like all other plant species, park roses have a number of distinctive features:

• many wild and cultivated varieties of rose hips have good frost resistance;
• this species of shrub is very powerful and wide, can be used both in single and group plantings;
• flowering begins much earlier than many other varieties.

Experts distinguish two types of such plants:

1. Single flowering— these varieties bloom once per season and require the preservation of last year’s shoots in their care. They are characterized by increased frost resistance.
2. Reblooming— on such shrubs you can observe beautiful buds throughout the season. According to frost resistance this group is divided into:

• hybrid roses(rugosa) - tolerate cold better than other varieties;
• Canadian roses- these shrubs easily tolerate winters in central Russia;
• cultivars needing to be hunkered down or covered.

Park roses have many advantages, the main one of which is their unpretentiousness to the climate.

Care and planting

Park roses are not picky about the soil and where they grow, so they can be planted in any area. The distance between the bushes will depend on the chosen placement method (fence or single planting).

Immediately after digging a hole, you need to add:

• 2 buckets of humus;
• complex fertilizers.

It is best to choose autumn for planting such plants. The work algorithm looks like this: m:

1. Aboveground part of the bush cut to 2/3 length;
2. Root collar should be 5-10 centimeters above the soil level;
3. After digging the hole, generously water and mulch.

Features of caring for roses outdoors

In the spring, immediately after the snow melts, the bush is watered abundantly and fed with mineral fertilizers. Further Until the beginning of July, the plant is watered 2 times a week, then the amount of temporary moisture decreases, and by August it stops altogether.

One of the main points for caring for park roses will be timely pruning. In spring, you need to remove all frozen or diseased shoots. In the autumn, rejuvenation is carried out, during which old stems, small shoots and non-flowering shoots are cut off.

If pruning is not carried out at all, the bushes will grow greatly, stop blooming profusely and lose their decorative appearance.

Preparing for winter

Many park roses tolerate winter well in open ground without any shelter. Also there are varieties that need to be bent, that is, with the onset of cold weather, the bushes tilt towards the ground, dig a small peg nearby and fix the plant on it in a horizontal position.

But some species still need additional shelter, consisting of:

1. Before frost sets in shrubs are covered with garden soil or peat by 15-20 centimeters;
2. The plant can wrap in burlap or kraft paper;
3. The other method is more complicated, following it is necessary close the rose with a wooden box, on which the film is additionally laid.

The choice of covering method will directly depend on the variety and frost resistance of the rose.

Reproduction

There are several ways to quickly and easily propagate park roses.

Layerings

1. in spring grooves are dug around the bush where annual shoots are placed;
2. Where leaves grow cut the bark slightly;
3. Then shoots are covered with earth and water throughout the summer;
4. They are dug up in the fall, divided and planted for 1 year for growing;
5. If the plant can survive the whole season on its own, it will put in a permanent place.

Cuttings

1. In summer or spring it is necessary cut off flowering shoots and divide them so that each has 3 sheets;
2. Before boarding an oblique cut is made under the lower bud, and under the upper straight line;
3. The bottom sheet is completely removed, and the top ones are divided in half;
4. Then 1/4 part of a heteroauxin tablet is diluted in 200 milliliters of water and place the cutting there for 40 minutes;
5. Fertile land covered with a 3 cm layer of sand and deepen the shoots there by 2 centimeters, after which they cover with a jar or bottle;
6. Throughout the month, plants sprayed daily;
7. After rooting, the cover is removed, and the cuttings are placed in the garden, covered with dry sand and covered with spruce branches;
8. A year later, from the surviving plants good seedlings are obtained.

Root suckers

Own-root varieties can be propagated using root suckers:

1. Shoots may arise from such shrubs that emerge to the surface as single stems, for propagation, shoots located at a distance of 70-100 centimeters from the main plant are selected;
2. A year after appearance, it is necessary to slightly rake the ground and cut off the shoot;
3. Then it dig up and plant to a new place.

Division
