Roses in the country (38 photos): all about varieties and caring for the queen of flowers. Which roses are the most unpretentious and winter-hardy? The best varieties of roses in the garden

Almost all summer residents dream of a cozy flower garden in their summer cottage. But is it possible to imagine it without the queen of flowers - the rose? Beautiful flowers with a pleasant aroma have always been and will be the most desirable guests in any garden.

Types of roses are beautiful garden flowers, sung by poets...

For those who have never encountered the choice of rose varieties for the garden, it will be useful to know that all roses are divided into large groups that differ from each other in care requirements, bud shape, color palette and many other nuances.

Types of garden roses are divided into groups:

• Miniature and Patio roses;
• Border, or Multi-flowered;
• Noble or Large-flowered;
• Groundcover;
• Shrub or scrub roses - Shrub (S);
• Old Garden Rose;
• Park views;
• Climbing roses;
• Natural species (rose hips) - Species (Sp).

The modern assortment of roses (Modern Garden Roses) includes more than 15 thousand varieties. It is extremely versatile in size, color, shape, aroma...

Modern garden roses also include:

• Hybrid Tea;
• Floribunda "Floribunda";
• Polyantha "Polyantha"
• Grandiflora "Grandiflora" etc.

The most popular groups of roses, divided based on stable garden characteristics.

Climbing roses (climbing)

The type of rose is actively used in garden decoration, since it has the ability to grow over vertical surfaces like bindweed, thanks to creeping shoots (lashes). They can decorate fences or gazebos, columns, arches, and decorate walls. Flowers (2-5 cm in diameter), collected in large inflorescences. When caring for roses, it is important to fertilize the soil. They prefer sun, warmth and light. They do not like frosts, but in all other respects they are quite practical.

Types of climbing roses are distinguished into:

• Climbers (vintage, modern, miniature);
• Ramblers (large-flowered);
• Super ramblers.

Repair roses

Remont rose bushes are valued for their flower characteristics - size, aroma, color. Widely used for growing in garden plots. The main feature of roses is the ability to re-bloom in one season (in July-August), but not so abundantly. On vigorously growing (up to 2 m in height), erect and spreading bushes, large, fragrant, double flowers with a diameter of 8 to 16 cm bloom in the second half of June.

These roses are winter-hardy, but can still freeze, so they require shelter in severe frosts and are susceptible to fungal diseases.

Hybrid Tea and Climbing Hybrid Tea

There are a huge number of variations of garden roses, but one feature suits all – nobility and sophistication. These noble roses are obtained from heat-loving Chinese tea roses crossed with remontant ones. Thanks to this, it was possible to obtain flowers whose characteristics were superior to all previously known species and varieties. One of the most beautiful and elegant views.

Massive and continuous flowering of these magnificent hybrid tea roses lasts from the end of June and throughout the month of July. After a short rest, a second wave of flowering occurs, continuing until late autumn. However, these beautiful flowers are not always suitable for the garden. They are mainly grown by experienced gardeners, but, as they say, pots are not made by saints.

The whole difficulty of growing lies in the fact that hybrid tea roses do not like cold weather and require good shelter in the winter.

They are demanding to care for and are susceptible to many diseases. It is because of diseases that this type of rose is very difficult to grow in cold climates. It is difficult for an inexperienced gardener to recognize what causes a particular symptom, but experience comes with practice. For this reason, you can often find “chemically-treated” roses of this type on sale, which quickly disappear in water without the necessary substances.

Roses differ in the color of foliage and flowers, the shape of the leaf blade, the nature of growth and other characteristics.

• Shrub species with falling foliage - Damask, white, French and other roses.
• Evergreen varieties with rapid shoot growth and long flowering - Bourbon, hybrid tea, remontant, polyanthus, etc.
• Climbing plants of various shapes, sizes, types of flowers - these are varieties such as Orange elf, Gloria Day, Ave Maria, Virgo, etc.

Park roses

Antique roses are classified as park roses, including decorative rose hips and wrinkled roses (rugosa). This group of roses is considered one of the most unpretentious of all existing roses. And if you do not have the opportunity to visit your garden every day, it is better to choose a variety from this group.

The most important advantage of this group is their frost resistance. In summer they like sunny places, but not direct intense sunlight, and droop when in the shade. The best option for them would be partial shade. Roses of this group do not like the wind; they should not be planted near trees. Caring for them involves timely pruning of old branches.

Roses have recently begun to delight us in public places - parks, along roads. One of the most beautiful varieties of park roses is Hansaland. It is loved by many summer residents due to its lush and long flowering, as well as beautiful bright red buds.

Ground cover roses

This group of roses is indicated by their name - they literally cover the soil with their color. It looks especially beautiful when bushes of different varieties of this species are planted together. The groundcover produces small buds that grow close together, creating a living carpet of roses. The flowers are simple, double, semi-double. Most varieties are characterized by long and abundant flowering. As for the habitat, this type of rose is unpretentious, like park roses. Moreover, the rose requires minimal care. Thus, faded buds do not need to be pruned; they do not require annual pruning and are not susceptible to disease.

Scrub roses

The group includes powerful wild shrubs and Austin English roses - with densely double flowers. Unusual appearance, tall growth, characterized by abundant and long-lasting, but one-time flowering, emitting a rich aroma. Various shapes and shapes - some are a bit like peonies, others are hybrid tea varieties.

As for care, they are unpretentious, resistant to cold and frost. Unlike park varieties, this species produces large buds. By the way, scrub roses are easy to grow and have good immunity from diseases.

There is one problem in choosing roses for a garden plot - from all the many species you need to choose only a few. And this is difficult, because in fact all roses are beautiful and interesting, it is difficult to choose one variety. We hope that the article helped you to navigate a little in the magical world of roses.

"What types of roses are there, names and photos...

Flower lovers (including us) are worried: how are our roses in the country? This year's winter is classically abnormal. In many regions there was no snow for a long time, although there were no severe frosts. Then it got sharply cold. Then it snowed, more than necessary. Now the temperature is warm, streams are flowing. Then frosts will strike again and everything will be covered with a layer of ice... Poor plants!

We will find out in the spring how they will survive the next bad weather. But so that every winter, when studying the weather forecast, you don’t have to clutch at your heart, listen to the advice of a specialist.

The famous rose collector, Muscovite Alexey Stepanov, tested many different roses on his site and compiled a list of the most reliable. It included 30 varieties. And they all meet 5 main criteria:

1. Excellent health. This is one of the main qualities, since a sick rose not only spoils the appearance of the flower garden, it also overwinters poorly. Or even die altogether. After all, the affected leaves fall off ahead of time, and the plant simply does not have time to ripen.

2. Stable wintering. In different areas, in different conditions and with different shelters, they are still able to survive our severe frosts.

3. Abundant and long flowering. There are no such roses in nature that bloom without interruption all summer, but these varieties will swell for the longest possible time.

4. Resistance of flowers to bad weather. They are not afraid of rain, moisture and heat - in any case they remain decorative.

5. Good shoot regrowth. This is important when, after an unsuccessful winter, the above-ground part of the plant dies. After all, the more new stems grow, the more flowers there will be.

So, roses that won't let you down.

Hybrid tea

Meilland, 1945

This unsurpassed masterpiece is called the No. 1 rose in the world. She is truly magnificent: her flowers are large, yellow with iridescence and pink edging of the petals.
The only drawback is that each flower lasts only 3 days.

Olesen, 1984

Magnificent, dark red, with almost black buds - this is, without exaggeration, the best red variety for the middle zone. Perfect and inimitable. The bush grows quickly, the flowers last up to 2 weeks and are not at all afraid of rain.

Tantau, 2006

It’s not for nothing that this rose was named after the goddess of love and beauty - she is the embodiment of beauty! Its flowers are 10–12 cm in diameter and porcelain pink. They tolerate rain well. The bush is low, up to 80 cm.

Delbard, 1997

Perhaps the best rose in Delbar's collection. Its flowers are a delightful burgundy color with a black bloom and wavy petals. One bud blooms on each shoot, but there are always a lot of stems on the bush, the flowers last up to 2 weeks and are not at all afraid of rain.

Floribunda

There are 7 varieties in this group. They are delightful. They are resilient. They will decorate any garden!

Kordes, 2003

Its delicate, large (up to 9 cm in diameter) flowers in apricot-pink tones look very impressive against the background of dark green foliage. Branched bush. Not afraid of disease, heat, or rain. It blooms all summer and very profusely.

Mielland, 1993

As is known. Leonardo da Vinci was the greatest artist and brilliant inventor. And the rose, named after him, seems to strive to justify the high honor bestowed upon it. Her bush is straight and compact. During the first flowering, it is literally strewn with bright pink pom-pom flowers, very close in shape to the ancient varieties.

The only drawback of this beauty is that it has almost no smell. But it never fails.

Kordes, 2002

She is always included in the top ten charts compiled according to a survey of rose lovers - she has no equal in reliability! The white and cream flowers bloom slowly on large clusters and change shape daily.

The disadvantage of the rose is that in the middle zone it wakes up much later than other roses, develops slowly and blooms only at the end of July. Therefore, it does not have time to flourish a second time. But in our harsh conditions, this disadvantage turns into a huge advantage, since, having failed to set buds again, the rose has time to prepare for the cold and always winters well.

Tantau, 2004

The bush of this wonderful variety is very beautiful, with bright dark green foliage. The flowers are 7–8 cm in diameter, of an unusual creamy-white color with pinkish and green hues. They are collected in multi-membered brushes that bloom profusely and for a long time. The rose has excellent health and winters well.

Mielland, 2000

The main advantage of this rose is its “long-lasting” flowers, each of which lasts up to 2 weeks and constantly changes color: at the moment of blooming they are white with a red edge, then they turn red, and as they fade they become white-green.

The rose has two disadvantages - it does not smell and in unfavorable years it is affected by black spot. But it feels great in gray latitudes.

Kordes, 2007

This rose has been awarded the ADR quality mark, which is given to the most decorative and resistant varieties. Its flowers are a unique yellow-orange-red color. Small, 6–7 cm in diameter, but always collected in large brushes. It always creates a bright accent in the garden, so it is better to plant it separately from other roses, for example, against the background of conifers. Otherwise, it will attract all the attention and other varieties next to it will be lost.

Kordes, 2005

It is not tall, but blooms very profusely. Its flowers are small, pompom-shaped, intense pink, collected in large brushes of 15–30 pieces!

Shrubs

This group also has a fairly extensive selection of resistant and unpretentious roses - 7 varieties that will not let you down and will delight you with health and abundant flowering.

Kordes, 1969

A very spectacular and unusual rose - its bush grows quickly and blooms in two distinct waves. The flowers are semi-double, copper-orange. And although each of them lasts only 3 days, they take in quantity - there are a lot of buds in the clusters and new ones constantly replace the fallen ones. In very harsh winters it can freeze, but recovers quickly. Possesses the ADR quality mark - for high decorativeness and stability.

Kordes, 1984

The flowers of this wonderful rose are small, up to 4 cm in diameter, but an incredible number of them are produced. They are bright pink in color, collected in numerous brushes, which are covered with leaves. In catalog photographs, it usually does not look very presentable, and flower growers often ignore it. But those who planted were not disappointed - this is a real queen! She is not sick with anything and is all in bloom. No wonder it was awarded the ADR quality mark.

Mielland, 1985

The perfect rose for beginners! It easily forgives mistakes in pruning and covering for the winter, and every summer it pleases with abundant flowering. Her flowers are light pink, slightly fading. They are small, 5–6 cm in diameter, but they open constantly, in any weather, right up to the snow!

The only drawback is that it doesn't smell at all.

Frank R. Cowlishaw, 1999

This is the only “blue” rose in the thirty. And this is the bluest of all existing roses! More precisely, it is blue-violet. The flowers are small, but collected in large clusters. Rain resistant. The bush grows up to 1.5 m and looks very impressive surrounded by dense yellow roses.

Margottin, 1851

Pay attention to the year she was bred - she is more than half a century old! This is an old Bourbon variety that will give a head start to many modern ones. Very hardy and winter-hardy. It can even be left in the winter without shelter. The bush, of course, will freeze above the snow level, but will quickly recover. With good shelter, the plants turn out tall and very dense. The flowers of this rose are of an antique cup shape, 5–7 cm in diameter, dark pink in the center and lighter at the edges. And what a smell! Rich, strong.

By the way, it is from this variety that rose oil is most often made and jam is made.

Kordes, 2008

It appeared on the market relatively recently, but has already managed to conquer gardeners with its excellent health and abundant flowering. Its flowers are small, 5–6 cm in diameter, pale pink, densely double, ancient in shape, collected in large clusters. This variety will perfectly complement English roses with large flowers.

Delbard, 2001

The only rose with striped petals included in the list of reliable varieties. It is so powerful that in France they recommend making hedges from it. In our conditions, it is, of course, a little more modest, but, nevertheless, it grows up to 1.5 m, forming very tough shoots. It is impossible to bend them down for the winter, so the bush has to be cut to the height of the shelter. The flowers of this rose are slightly double, but large, of a rare garnet color with white streaks. Each brush contains 9–20 buds.

English

This group included 5 varieties that showed their best in the harsh conditions of Russian reality.

Austin, 1983

This is one of the best varieties of David Austin's selection. Several years ago, he was the last, 14th, to take a place in the World Rose Hall of Fame. It blooms very profusely. Its flowers are bright yellow, do not fade and are considered the standard of yellow for roses. In our climate it will grow very quickly, reaching a height of 2 m.

Austin, 1999

An incredible variety - during the flowering season, its shoots are covered with caps of densely double light orange flowers of an ancient shape with a strong aroma. It can be grown as a climbing rose, with minimal pruning, preserving last year's shoots. In this case, it will bloom almost along their entire length.

Austin, 1985

In warm countries, this variety forms a powerful bush 2 m high and the same size in circumference. However, in Russia it does not work out this way - the shoots are very rigid and it is impossible to bend them to the ground, so you have to cut them to the height of the shelter. The flowers of this rose are cool pink, very fragrant, collected in clusters.

Austin, 1985

This is one of the first varieties that brought David Austin world fame. The qualities of the variety are outstanding. Tall and strong arched shoots create a beautiful bush shape. They are easy to winterize. The flowers are cool pink with a lilac tint and fully convey the charm of real antique roses. They are one of the first to bloom in the garden, and one of the last to finish flowering.

Austin, 2000

The most popular profusely flowering rose in our country. A powerful spreading bush grows quickly - this variety has never had problems with replacing shoots. Her flowers are white, with an orange center - they look simply amazing!

Ground cover

There is only one variety here - only it has fully proven itself to be reliable and very decorative.

Kordes, 2001

This variety fully lives up to its name (“sunny” translated from English as “sunny”) - if you want to have a yellow carpet in your garden, then it was created especially for you! Pleases with abundant, almost continuous flowering. The racemes contain up to 12 large, rich yellow flowers that fade to cream. An adult bush occupies an area of ​​about 1 square. m. Has the ADR quality mark.

Climbing

There are quite a lot of reliable roses in this group - 6 varieties at once showed themselves to be excellent in our difficult climatic conditions.

Kordes, 1955

A very spectacular rose with red petals. It blooms once, but so profusely that it literally outshines other roses! Its flowers are resistant to rain, open in any weather and stay on the bush for a long time. It grows well on its own roots and takes excellent cuttings, so it wanders from garden to garden.

Kordes, 1977

It is growing rapidly. Blooms profusely all season with bright crimson flowers. It is considered petty, but in our climate it does not grow to the stated size and is usually grown as a scrub. Looks great and blooms on a trunk. Over time, its shoots become thick and difficult to lay, so for wintering the bush has to be cut to the level of the shelter.

Mielland, 1987

In our conditions, its lashes reach 1.5–2 m. It looks beautiful on a lattice support if the shoots are distributed on it in the form of a fan. But you can grow it as a bush, tying it to vertical supports for protection from the wind. By the way, it is often called “paradise rose”. And in fact, when you stand near a mature flowering bush, which is decorated with an abundance of creamy-white flowers with a bright pink edge, it seems that such beauty can only be found in heaven.

But this rose has 3 drawbacks: a weak aroma, the flowers are unstable to rain, and thick shoots that have to be bent down for the winter in 2-3 steps.

Kordes, 2005

This rose amazes with its excellent health and abundant flowering - new shoots have caps of up to 50 buds! The flowers are small, cup-shaped, with a delicate pink-lilac tint and an amazing aroma! And what’s also nice is that the shoots fit well in winter.

Jacksaon & Perkins USA, 1901

It is not for nothing that this climbing rambler rose has been so popular in the world for more than 100 years - its powerful bushes, 3 m high and more than 2 m wide, are strewn from top to bottom with cascades of small pink flowers, 3–5 cm in diameter. The foliage is small, glossy and completely covered with flowers during flowering. Blooms once. It looks great on a tall trunk - its long shoots gracefully hang like a luxurious waterfall.

Kordes, 1936

This outstanding rose is more than 80 years old, but it still drives flower growers around the world crazy. Belongs to the group of ramblers. It blooms once, but very profusely. The flowers are medium-sized, 5–6 cm in diameter, shaped like pompoms - it seems like they came out of ancient paintings. The shoots are very prickly and flexible, they bend easily in any direction, so there are no problems with laying them down for the winter.

P.S. Please note that most of the roses on the list of rose collector Alexey Stepanov belong to the Cordes selection. And this is not surprising, because Germany’s climate is closest to ours. Heat-loving French women are still lagging behind in disease resistance. And one more thing: in this list of reliable roses, as you noticed, there are no varieties of Canadian selection. But they are ideally suited for our harsh conditions. But their decorativeness, to put it mildly, is not for everyone.

Based on materials from the Gardener's Bulletin magazine, April 2013.

It happens like this: roses are blooming in your garden that were once planted by someone, and you don’t really know what kind of varieties they are or what kind of care they need. Is it necessary, for example, to cover them for the winter? And it happens that a bush or climbing rose on a neighboring plot will capture your imagination and you will want the same one. Let's learn to understand the types of roses: which ones we have and which ones we want.

Due to their external advantages, roses are used especially widely in garden design: they are applicable in all garden styles, are combined with almost any landscape objects - both natural and architectural - and are accent plants. Even the entire garden as a whole can be dedicated to roses - and it will be a beautiful, interesting, memorable garden without any signs of monotony.

Roses are chosen depending on their use. There are several types of roses.

Hybrid tea roses

Classic roses are the most beautiful. They have very large flowers (10-13 cm in size), very remarkable, regular in shape, with a cone-shaped core, and are solitary in arrangement. The height of the bush is about 90 cm.

Hybrid tea roses have a strong aroma. The colors are varied, there are even shades close to blue. The color and shine of the leaves also varies. Hybrid tea roses can be grown either as a bush or as a standard tree. These roses are the most demanding. To get such beauty, you need to try.

At the same time, tea roses have their own characteristics: they do not bloom again, the flowers are located quite rarely on the bush. Therefore, it is better to admire such roses up close and complement them with other flowering plants, which will take on the main role during the period when roses are not blooming.

Floribunda roses

Roses are also very beautiful, although in the appearance of the flower they are, of course, inferior to hybrid tea ones. Their flowers are smaller in size, 5-9 cm, more “loose” in shape, and are not arranged separately, but in clusters. They are less fragrant. Bush height - 60-70 cm; but there are low varieties, no higher than 45 cm. Such roses are suitable for growing in containers.

Floribunda roses have obvious advantages: they bloom all season, look very bright (brighter than hybrid teas), can be containerized, and most importantly, they are very unpretentious, are not afraid of dampness, are rarely affected by pests and diseases, and are quite frost-resistant.

Mini roses

They are like smaller copies of ordinary roses. But this smallness is where their beauty lies. The height of the bush is 20-40 cm, the flowers are small, arranged in a cluster, often double. Their small size makes it possible to use these roses to implement interesting landscape ideas, for example, arranging rockeries with roses.

Typically, these roses are grafted, which allows them to maintain their small size. They bloom from mid-summer to autumn, for quite a long time. The colors are varied: from delicate to very bright shades.

These roses, like hybrid tea roses, are quite demanding to care for: they require regular abundant watering and fertilizing, they do not tolerate dry air, are often affected by pests and do not like their roots being disturbed. They prefer open air, so they are not at all suitable for home breeding.

Ground cover roses

Perhaps they are the most unpretentious - and at the same time very beautiful. The bushes of these roses seem to creep along the ground, producing many shoots covered with hundreds of small double flowers of various colors. As a result, the bush becomes like a flowering “mound”.

The height of the “mound” is from 20 cm to 1.8 m, and the width is from 1.5 to 2 m. Sometimes the flowering is so abundant that the leaves are not visible. Blooms all season, from June until frost. These roses do not need special care, watering or fertilizing, like any other perennials. They tolerate dry air normally and, like all roses, need shelter; At the same time, they are frost-resistant: under cover they can withstand down to -35 ° C.

climbing roses

These are incredibly beautiful roses. They look so luxurious not only because of their beautiful flowers and abundant blooms, but also because they are vertical. By itself, such a rose will not curl; it needs to be helped by periodically tying the shoots to a support.

There are roses that bloom very profusely once a season. They are usually small-flowered with a racemose arrangement of flowers. Such roses produce a large number of thin shoots and are more difficult to prune. And there are varieties that bloom not so luxuriantly, but for a longer time, constantly forming new and new buds. These roses are large-flowered, and they are spectacular due to the size of the flowers. They have thicker shoots and are not so tangled.

Contrary to popular belief, the climbing rose is not very demanding; the main thing is to insulate it well for the winter. To do this, it must be removed from the support and placed in a shelter. This, in fact, is the whole difficulty: it is difficult to remove the rose from the support.

Shrub roses

This is the least common type, although it deserves to be used more widely. Although these roses are less decorative than all of the above, they require virtually no care, and for many corners of the garden, especially inconvenient ones, they are irreplaceable.

In appearance, these roses resemble tall rose hips, but they have more beautiful flowers, usually double. The bush is very tall, at least 1 m tall. Flowering is mostly once, the flowers are lush and fragrant.

Overall this rose has a country or eco feel to it, it's such a natural look. It can also be used for landscaping the external area outside the perimeter of the site, as well as for hedges.

Best neighbors for roses

Not all plants go well with roses, since roses are very elegant and have a special texture. Flowers planted next to roses should highlight their beauty, serve as a background that suits the style, and in no case argue with the queen of the garden.

Here are some plants that can be a worthy addition to roses in compositions, flower beds, mixborders: delphinium, foxglove, bluebell, mallow (rose rose), Italian aster, purple sedum, rudbeckia, paniculata phlox, giant onion, daylily, Turkish carnation, cosmos, cuff, woolly chick; You can plant gypsophila at some distance.

Preparing roses for winter

Roses must be covered for the winter. There are many different ways to do this, but not all of them are equally good, since the rose is also very afraid of getting warm.

Rose needs a warm “house” for the winter, but with good air exchange. In principle, the type of house is the same for climbing roses and for all others. The best option is a wooden box plus two layers of dense spunbond on top. Such a shelter is both warm and breathable.

Instead of a wooden box, you can use a garden construction set placed crosswise, stretch two layers of dense spunbond onto it, and put plastic film on top.

They don’t do anything with ordinary bush roses, but the climbing rose must first be removed from the support (this is the most difficult thing - it is noticeably prickly). Therefore, it is better to purchase a flexible special support for it, which can be removed from the main support (arches, arbors) and placed together with the rose. Then cut the shoots by 1/3, roll them into a ring and place them in a “house” on a layer of sawdust or a sheet of foam underneath.

When thinking about which variety of roses is best to choose for your site, you should pay attention to the characteristics of the soil and climate in the area where you live. Roses with complex colors are very demanding on the composition of the soil and take on an unsightly appearance in unsuitable soil. For example, Mainzer Fastnacht on insufficiently acidic soil turns into a dirty gray plant instead of a noble shade of lilac. And Martin Frobisher pleases with its flowering only in cool and dry conditions.

What three floribundas must be on the site?

The Floribunda class unites abundantly flowering varieties, distinguished by large inflorescences collected in racemes and a neat bush shape. When planning which varieties of roses are best to plant in your garden, do not forget about the following feature of this class. Floribunda flowers are not as beautiful and elegant as those of hybrid tea varieties, but these crops are much more resistant to disease and are highly winter hardy.

Rose with royal dignity

Jubile du Prince de Monaco is a two-color floribunda 70–80 cm high, which from a distance resembles a festive fireworks cap. Its crimson-white flowers delight the eye with continuous blooming, starting in May and ending in late autumn with the onset of the first frost.

Features of the Jubilee Prince of Monaco variety:

• densely double large flowers, reaching a diameter of 12 cm and blooming for up to three weeks;

A brilliant variety for the garden collection

Red Leonardo da Vinci is an unpretentious crimson beauty, a lush bush reaching a height of 1 m. When thinking about which variety of roses is best to plant in your rose garden, consider the fact that Red Leonado keeps its shape much better than its close relative Leonardo da Vinci.

Variety characteristics:

• blooms profusely and continuously throughout the summer and until frost;
• the flower (about 8 cm in diameter) lasts up to 2 weeks;
• resistant to rain and fungal diseases;
• winters well;
• refers to self-cleaning varieties - the flower falls off along with the peduncle, without creating debris in the area.

Roses for beginner gardeners

Many experienced flower growers recommend that rose lovers begin their “thorny” path by growing rose hip hybrids. Their flowers are not as lush as, for example, those of the floribunda or hybrid tea class, but they are also more forgiving to the mistakes of beginners.

The most unpretentious among the flower queens is the voluminous bush rose Robusta. It belongs to the scrub class and is distinguished by abundant flowering, incredibly bright coloring of the petals, eye-catching, and beautiful foliage. Robusta is absolutely undemanding to growing conditions and does not require special care. This frost-resistant variety also recovers well after infrequent freezing.

Robusta scrub

The Hansaland park rose can also be a successful “test of the pen” for a novice designer. Its main disadvantage is its very prickly thorns, but its amazing winter hardiness and resistance to fungal attack compensate for this disadvantage.

Hansaland at its best

When choosing a rose variety, the beautiful Rugelda is a kind of compromise between rosehip hybrids and more noble plants. Its delicate lemon-yellow flowers with wavy edges in a bright red hue exude a light fragrance. The shape of the Rugelda flower resembles a bowl, and its densely double structure gives the plant extraordinary tenderness. The rose is very frost-resistant and many gardeners do not cover it at all for the winter.

Black list of roses - what is better to refuse

In order for the choice of roses for planting to be successful, you also need to know about varieties that rarely leave their owners satisfied:

1. Eiffel Tower. Despite its delicate crystal-pink hue and pleasant aroma, it is unloved by many gardeners. Its two main disadvantages are the inability to form a beautiful bush due to too thin branches, and weak flowers that burn in the sun and rot in the rain.
2. Vendela is very unstable to fungal diseases; during rainy periods, its buds are completely covered with gray rot.
3. Golden Showers. Single flowers of this rose are beautiful only in buds; when they bloom, they take on a sloppy appearance. The variety fades within a week, while the petals have time to fade and the flowers become loose.

Rose Golden Showers

When choosing a variety of roses to plant on your site, also take into account general patterns. Thus, Austin roses grow best on clay soils in partial shade, but sandy soils and sun are not very good for them. White or very light-colored plants are more susceptible to attack by pest beetles. To choose the best specimens, take a look at your neighbors' plots - perhaps they have already planted rose gardens and will suggest something useful that is typical for your region.

Roses in the garden look delightful and in order for their aroma to remain subtle and delicate, and the petals to be elastic, the gardener must properly prepare the place and soil for planting, distribute the plants according to the pattern, determine the time and method of planting the seedling, and for some varieties - study special recommendations.

Roses are among the most demanding garden flowers to care for. To get truly lush, beautiful buds, you need to put in a lot of effort. Moreover, attention should be paid to plants at all stages of their cultivation, starting with planting in the ground. If you make a mistake at this stage, then timely feeding, proper pruning, disease prevention and covering the bushes for the winter will no longer matter.

How to choose a rose variety?

The first step in planting flowers in the garden is the selection and purchase of seedlings. Today, many different varieties are available in nurseries, but not all of them are immediately suitable for planting in a particular area. You can ask the nursery workers directly about which roses are best to plant in the garden, or first consult with specialists before going to pick up seedlings. In any case, the correctly chosen variety of flowers is already half the success in the survival of plants in your summer cottage.

The correct choice of variety should be based on taking into account the following factors:

• Landing area. If you want to create a hedge with rose bushes or cover an ugly wall or fence, pay attention to park bush varieties that are capable of forming lush bushes up to 160 cm high. If you just need to make a small flowerbed for purely decorative purposes, you can get by with low varieties with lush ones. buds.
• Color spectrum. Although the choice of bud shade is a matter of taste, it should be borne in mind that roses with orange and violet-lilac petals do not tolerate direct sunlight. If the flowerbed is exposed to the sun during the hottest part of the day, it is better to choose pink, yellow, or white varieties, which are less likely to fade in the sun.
• Soil moisture. When figuring out how to plant roses in the garden in spring, do not forget to find out the characteristics of the soil itself. In waterlogged soil, flowers often suffer from spotting and powdery mildew. If your garden is located in an area where the groundwater level is high, you should pay attention to varieties that have the “ADR” mark. They are more adapted to such conditions.
• Weather. Depending on what weather conditions prevail in your region in the summer - rain or heat - you can choose varieties that are resistant to certain conditions. If you often experience severe frosts in winter, look for frost-resistant hybrids.
• Spikes. The rose in our perception by default is a plant in which the unearthly beauty of the flowers is combined with sharp, massive thorns on the stems. However, there are varieties without thorns. If the flower bed is located next to a garden path or children's playground, it is better to opt for those varieties that do not have thorns.

Place for a rose garden

Since planting a rose in the garden is a whole science, if possible, it is recommended to first consult with an experienced gardener. Keep in mind that roses are heat-loving plants, but high humidity is detrimental for them due to the high risk of fungal diseases. In this regard, the flower garden should be located in an area that is well lit by the sun in the first half of the day. This way, the morning dew will quickly evaporate, reducing the risk of “flour” appearing on the leaves. Also, the flowerbed should, if possible, be protected from the north wind with the help of other bushes or a low hedge. At the same time, rose bushes should not be allowed to be in the shade of walls or trees most of the day.

An area that has a slight slope to the south is exactly the place where it is better to plant a rose in the garden. In this case, it is recommended to raise the flowerbed above the general ground level by 30-50 cm in order to provide the flowers with better access to sunlight and prevent melt water from stagnating in the spring.

As for the type of soil, roses are relatively not picky in this matter and can thrive in almost any soil. However, light loams with a sufficient amount of humus are more preferable for them. In this case, it is important that the groundwater level approaches the surface no closer than 75-100 cm. As already mentioned, roses do not tolerate excess moisture well, and the root system of some hybrids can reach a depth of 1 meter. In addition, wet soil does not warm up well, which slows down the development of plants.

Disembarkation scheme

Regardless of the purpose for which a rose garden is created - as a decorative flower bed, or as a nursery - seedlings must be planted in such a way that they are easy to care for. You should not set up a flower garden in the middle of an artificial pond or on a steep slope, where it will be difficult to get close to the flowers. And in the flowerbed itself, plants should be planted in no more than 2-3 rows. Otherwise, caring for flowers will be difficult. These are the most basic rules on how to properly plant a rose in the garden in the spring.

The density and location of planting are largely determined by the variety, or rather the shape of adult bushes. The main thing is that in the end their crowns create a continuous wall of flowers and leaves. For example, floribundas should be planted in groups of 3-5 bushes, and hybrid tea roses should be planted at a distance of 40-50 cm from each other. Climbing roses will look great near arches, trellises and other structures along which plants can climb. By the way, this is a great way to decorate a porch or gazebo.

When to plant roses?

It is impossible to name the optimal calendar period when roses should be planted. A lot here depends not only on the region, but also on the plant variety. In principle, how to plant roses in a garden from seedlings in containers or pots with soil is clear. They should simply be carefully removed from the pot and, together with a lump of soil around the roots, transplanted into the ground at any time of the year except winter, of course. But it is recommended to plant seedlings with an exposed root system (including if there is soil around the roots, but there is very little of it) in spring or autumn.

For the southern regions, where the autumn is warm and long, and the winter is mild, both autumn and spring are equally suitable, since in the fall the plants have time to take root and adapt before the onset of frost. But in the northern regions and middle zone, where the first frosts can strike as early as September, autumn planting is too risky. If the cold leaves the plants unrooted, the roses may not survive until spring.

For central Russia, the period from April 20 to May 20 can be considered a conditionally safe period for planting roses. The optimal planting time can be determined by the soil temperature: it should warm up to 8-10°C.

Methods of planting seedlings

Roses are planted in a special planting hole, also called a hole. It is recommended to prepare it 10-15 days before the actual planting, so that the soil has time to settle and the seedling does not “fall” underground. The depth of the hole should be about 60-70 cm so that the root system is not crowded in it.

There are two main methods on how to properly plant a rose in the garden:

1. Dry. The seedlings are simply lowered into the hole and covered with earth. After this, the plant is watered abundantly so that the soil is compacted and the roots receive close contact with the soil. This method is usually used in regions with high or normal soil moisture levels.
2. Wet. Filling the soil into the hole with the seedling occurs in parallel with watering. This method is recommended for arid regions because it better ensures that the roots are covered with soil.

When placing the seedling in the hole, make sure that the roots are not crushed, twisted or pointing up. If a grafted seedling is planted, make sure that the grafting site is underground (optimally 2-3 cm below the surface). This is necessary to protect the rose from frost and direct sunlight.

If after planting the soil around the seedling settles, the subsidence should be filled with soil mixture to prevent the formation of a hole in which rainwater will accumulate. In this case, it is possible and even necessary to hill up the seedling. A mound of compost or fertile soil is poured around the stem. If the seedling is very small, it can even be completely covered with soil for 10-15 days. After two weeks, the hill should be removed to prevent additional roots from appearing.

Over the next few weeks, as the plants take root, be careful not to let the soil around them dry out. It is recommended to periodically water and loosen it (but only without fanaticism). This must be done until leaf growth becomes noticeable.

Specifics of planting some varieties

Roses of climbing varieties are planted at a slightly greater depth to form a more powerful root system. Before planting, the stems are shortened by 30-35 cm and, if necessary, the roots are also shortened slightly to obtain approximately equal above-ground and underground parts. When planting climbing roses, you should provide space not only for the plants to “climb” in the summer, but also for their placement and shelter in the winter.

Roses purchased in a pot are best planted directly with a ball of earth, without exposing the roots. It is better to plant them at the end of April, when the likelihood of frost is already minimal. For several days before planting in open ground, it is recommended to place roses outside (but not in the sun) to allow them to adapt a little. When planting roses in a permanent place, they are placed 2-5 cm deeper than they were in the pot. The same rules will also help those who do not know how to plant a stone rose in the garden.

Standard roses should be planted in such a way that the upper roots are 10-15 cm below ground level. As in the case of climbing varieties, it is important to provide a place for laying and covering them for the winter. When planting, it is recommended to drive a strong peg near the trunk, to which the trunk of the plant should be tied for stability.
