Rose floribunda care and planting and care in the open field

Gardeners know firsthand that it is not so easy to grow decorative bushes of exotic varieties on their site. But with a floribunda rose, things go much faster and more fun.

Planting and caring for the floribunda rose is carried out throughout the warm season, for which the bush pleases people with colorful juicy buds - yes, the bush blooms throughout the summer, some varieties even "capture" the month of September. All the features of planting and caring for the bush will be discussed further.

Floribunda rose: what is it?

The presented variety of an ornamental bush was bred by breeders through a complex and numerous crossing of previously known types of roses. The result is a full-fledged hybrid that pleases gardeners with its unique beauty and juicy shade.

Rose bushes reach various sizes, but they are compact, so they do not take up much space on the site, and additional care for the formation (except for pruning) is not required.

If we consider floribunda rosebuds, then we can say the following:

• allocate large or medium-sized buds;
• buds, similar in shape to varieties of hybrid tea type of roses;
• buds are divided into several types: simple, semi-double and double.

The colors of the buds directly depend on the variety, of which there are about a hundred. Since floribunda roses mainly grow in warm regions of Russia, you can choose varieties based on their external characteristics.

The advantage of floribunda roses is long flowering, unpretentious care and high frost resistance.

It is these factors that form the high popularity of the presented type of roses for growing in the garden.

Floribunda rose: varieties with photos and descriptions

The popularity of the floribunda rose reaches its climax, but it should be noted that only certain varieties of shrubs are in demand to a greater extent.

The choice of certain varieties is not accidental - the varieties chosen by gardeners are distinguished by ease of care, high frost resistance (and not only in winter) and resistance to various pests and diseases.

Among the most popular varieties of floribunda roses are:

1. Kimono - a variety of roses with peach-colored buds. With its small bud size, Kimono looks more like standard tea rose varieties.

The bush is compact and small in size, fits perfectly into the composition, where other shades of rose bushes are used - red, white.

You can compose excellent compositions of Kimono roses and other ornamental bushes - hydrangea and others.

2.Freesia - bushes with yellow buds, reaching 80 cm in height. The buds themselves are densely double, therefore they attract gardeners. The yellow shade fits perfectly into landscape design - the Freesia variety is often used by designers.

Caring for the bushes is standard, the bush is compact, blooms throughout the summer period, periodically throws off all the buds and begins to "give" new young inflorescences. Grows well on poor soils - can be planted in the sand and "dead" to harvest the land.

3. Doychewelle - especially popular due to its unique and rare shade of buds. The buds reach 10 cm in diameter and delight the eye with a rare lilac shade.

The bush itself is quite tall - it reaches 1.5 m in height. In addition to its beauty, the variety pleases with its simple care, high frost resistance and resistance to pests and diseases.

4. Arthur Bell - an upright bush can reach a height of 1 m, is distinguished by dense foliage. The flowers have a delicate creamy yellow hue. Possesses good resistance to diseases and pests.

5. Nicolo Paganini - Of all floribunda roses, this variety is ideal for beginners. The inflorescences are numerous - in one inflorescence the bush can grow up to 12 buds.

The flowers have a velvety surface and a juicy red hue. The bush itself reaches 80 cm in height, but at the same time it is compact and dense foliage.

6. Masquerade is a unique variety, characterized by the property of changing the shade of the buds (the color changes throughout the entire flowering during the warm period, and it is impossible to predict the subsequent shade).

It is this property that gave an interesting name to the variety, and only those gardeners who prefer to observe rainbow changes choose it. The flowers, however, do not reach large sizes - no more than 6 cm in diameter.

At the initial blooming, they delight with yellow-orange shades with a border of coral-colored petals.

Gradually, the hue turns into a pinkish-red color, but this is not the only possible hue change - there are responses of hue change contrary to the standards.

7. Pierrot - real red-bloody spots in the garden area. The buds are large, terry, they are distinguished by the property of burning out in the sun - that is, they retain their original bright shade.

The bush reaches a height of 1 m, has dense foliage. The shrub blooms profusely and throughout the summer.

These are only the most popular varieties, characterized by unpretentious care and high resistance to pests and diseases. It is possible to plant another variety in the garden, but this is only at the discretion of the gardener himself.

Planting a rose

Floribunda roses are planted according to the recommendations of gardeners and florists who prefer to sell ready-made ornamental shrub seedlings. So they should be purchased by beginners in growing flowers and gardening in general.

When choosing a seedling of the presented type of rose, attention should be paid to the state of the root system and the shoots themselves.

It is better if there are no more than three shoots on one seedling. They should not have visible damage to the "bark", and the roots of decayed areas.

Before planting, the seedlings are prepared - the shoots are cut to a height of 35 cm from the roots, and the roots themselves are only 25-30 cm. The finished seedlings are planted in pre-prepared soil.

Soil preparation

First, you need to find a place on the site where the floribunda rose will grow in a tall and bright bush. Here you should pay attention to the following recommendations:

• you can not plant a bush in places where the sun is constantly;

• you should not choose the southern walls of the garden house - the ideal option would be to plant a seedling along the western wall;

• it is important to choose a place so that the sun does not fall on the bushes at noon.

If the rose planting nevertheless took place under the scorching rays, gardeners will be upset by the constant dried out appearance of the bush.

In addition, the buds themselves will fade in the sun, which also spoils the appearance of the shrub.

Floribunda grows best in sandy-clay soil. At the same time, the soil should be looser - this improves the air permeability of the roots, which makes the buds look brighter. You can make the soil looser by adding a little humus to it.

Disembarkation

Now we should talk about the landing itself. Before planting, the place where the seedlings will be planted is dug to the depth of the shovel. Together with digging, humus can be added to the bottom layer of the soil - compost or settled manure.

Be sure to add phosphorus fertilizers purchased in a specialized store.

Shrub planting can be carried out in spring or autumn. In spring, floribunda rose seedlings are planted from the end of April and throughout May, and in autumn it is better from mid-September to mid-October - it all depends on the weather in the region. There are two ways to plant a rose.

Method one

The first method of planting seedlings is carried out in the following sequence:

1. Dig a hole 60 cm wide, the depth is determined by the grafting site of the seedling - the grafting site deepens into the ground by 3-8 cm.
2. A mixture of fertilizers is laid out at the bottom of the pit.
3. A seedling is carefully lowered into the hole - while one gardener is holding the seedling, the other straightens the roots and digs in the hole with soil.
4. After planting, water the planted seedling abundantly.
5. During the summer, the shrub is spud and tended as the floribunda rose grows.

As mentioned above, the presented planting method requires the hands of two gardeners. In the absence of an assistant, they resort to the second method of planting a seedling.

Method two

The second method of disembarkation is carried out independently and is somewhat easier. For disembarkation, a pit is dug 30 cm deep and 60 cm wide. A bucket of a pre-prepared solution is poured into the pit, consisting of water and a tablet of heteroauxin and sodium humate, which is added to the consistency of weakly brewed tea.

The seedling is placed in a hole directly into the water, the roots are covered with soil with the other hand. In the presented planting, only the compaction of the pit and roots with prepared soil is considered important.

Using this planting method, additional watering is not required. After planting the seedling, it must be shaded for the next 10 days.

Floribunda roses: care and cultivation

Proper care of ornamental shrubs provides an excellent opportunity to decorate your garden plot with a unique aroma and riot of colors. It should be noted that caring for a floribunda rose is simple - any beginner in the presented case can handle it.

About watering and care

For a rose, timely and abundant watering is important, where additionally you will have to constantly use top dressing. If you let the growth of the bush take its course, the rose will grow sluggishly - gardeners will notice only frail and medium-sized buds sprouting on a thin stem.

It is not necessary to count on rain in the summer - during the active growth of moisture, the bush should have enough moisture. In other words, the soil should always be slightly damp. Watering must not be carried out under the scorching sun.

If there is no other possibility, the settled water is poured into a hole prepared in advance near the root system with a thin stream.

In such watering, it is important not to get water on the leaves. If other watering is not possible, watering the plant with drops on the leaves should be carried out in the early evening, so that the bush is completely dry before nightfall.

In the summer, the number of watering is gradually reduced, and in September it is completely stopped - this is necessary so that new shoots do not begin to grow. Irregularities in watering entail the formation of new seedlings, which will not have time to grow and bloom by winter - this is fraught with freezing in winter.

If there is no rain in the fall, you will have to water the bush 1-2 times a week, because you cannot leave the rose for the winter without moisture in the root system.

About feeding

Floribunda rose is a constant fertilization for excellent and full-fledged bud growth. If the soil is heavy, it is not recommended to fully fertilize it.

Floribunda rose is sensitive to salts, and in heavy soil, salts are washed out slowly. Therefore, special combined fertilizers are used in limited quantities.

It is also important to apply organic fertilizers - manure, but do it carefully. It is better if the manure is scattered over the future planting site in advance. The ingress of clean manure on the root system of the seedling will destroy the shrub.

The shrub is fertilized only in the second year of its growth. They do this every spring and summer.

About the propagation of roses

It is advisable to propagate floribunda roses by cuttings. To do this, it is necessary to cut lignified shoots from a common shrub and do the following:

1. The branches are cut to 0.5 cm above the bud.
2. Cut several cuttings 8 cm long - it is necessary to pick up those places where the width of the cutting reaches the width of a pencil.
3. It is important to cut the bottom cut at an angle of 45 degrees, and cut the top cut at a right angle.
4. Thorns and leaves from cuttings must be completely removed, and the sections must be treated with preparations containing phytohormones.
5. Prepare holes for planting with a depth of 15 cm - plant cuttings in them to a depth of 4 cm.
6. Plant the cuttings in the garden at a distance of 15-30 cm.
7. The planted bed is covered with polyethylene and care begins, which consists in airing and timely watering.
8. It is also important to loosen the soil before each watering of the cuttings with the addition of fertilizer to the water.

Leaving the cuttings for the winter, they should be covered with a non-woven fabric in two layers, and then with polyethylene and left until spring.

Cuttings must be grown in a planting place for two years; in the third year, grown small bushes are planted in a permanent place.

Pruning

Pruning floribunda roses is a must for full growth and abundant flowering.

Pay attention to this material - Tulips: planting and care in the open field.

During the procedure, all dry branches, thin shoots are removed, leaving only strong specimens. Pruning is carried out in the spring, leaving 3-5 shoots on the entire bush.

These remaining shoots are additionally shortened to 4-5 buds - you get no more than 10 cm from the soil surface. In the presence of side shoots, they are also shortened.

Shelter for the winter

Before sheltering a shrub for the winter, it must be prepared - cut off the shoots, leaving no more than 40 cm from the ground surface. It is also important to pluck all the leaves from the bush. The bush is spud up to 20 cm near the base and covered with spruce branches - fallen leaves.

In regions where winters are more severe, it is recommended to cover shrubs with a covering material, having previously exposed a frame made of mesh or a wooden structure. You can also sprinkle dry leaves on the covering material and leave the bush until spring.

Floribunda rose perfectly tolerates winter and in the spring can please with new shoots after opening the covering material. They do this in April or in March - in colder regions as late as possible.

What does a floribunda rose look like?

Floribunda rose, what is it?

Floribunda rose is the result of complex and repeated crossing of a large number of different varieties of roses.

Representatives of this garden group are distinguished by bushy, compact growth, the height of the bushes is different - from low to vigorous. The flowers, collected in large or medium-sized inflorescences, are simple, semi-double and double, usually of medium size (there are also large ones), in shape they are often similar to hybrid tea roses. The flowers of certain varieties have a scent.

Floribunda roses are widely used for group plantings in the foreground, in curbs or as hedges. They are unmatched for their abundance and flowering duration.In general, these flowers are easier to care for, more unpretentious and more frost-resistant than hybrid tea.

They are just made for a small garden area. For beginner rose growers, we can recommend mastering the art of growing roses from representatives of this particular garden group.

Floribunda is one of the most popular groups of garden roses. The main advantages are long flowering, an abundance of colors and aromas, unpretentiousness, high winter hardiness.

Planting floribunda roses

    Selection of seedlings. A grafted rose seedling should have 2-3 well-ripened lignified shoots with green intact bark and a developed root system with many thin roots (lobe). Be sure to pay attention to the root collar (vaccination site). The diameter of the root collar should be the same above and below the inoculation site and should not exceed 5-8 mm.

Preparation of the landing pit.

When planting, the shoots must be shortened to 35 cm, and the roots must be cut to a length of 25 - 30 cm.

The roots of dried seedlings should be immersed in cold water for a day before planting. All broken and dry parts of shoots and roots should be cut to healthy tissue. Shorten healthy shoots to 35 cm, cut the roots to a length of 25-30 cm.

    Where is the best place to plant? Floribunda roses need as much light as possible. This, however, does not mean that they should only be in direct sunlight throughout the day.
When the sun shines on roses all day, they quickly fade. If, moreover, they are planted near the southern walls of buildings, then they suffer from sunburn and excessive dryness.

For planting, you need to choose such corners where the plant was slightly shaded for at least part of the day, especially in the midday heat. To their detriment, and a constant drying draft, which usually occurs near the corners of buildings, in the aisles between them.

    Preparing the soil for planting. Roses grow well in light, deep and not too dry sandy-clay soilwhich must be sufficiently breathable, when watering or during rain, it must absorb water well, without letting it through immediately and completely into the subsoil horizon, so that the roots of plants and soil microorganisms always have the necessary moisture and air. Such soil happens when it is generously replenished with humus.

The landing site should be prepared in advance. It is enough to dig up sandy or clay garden soil to the depth of a shovel, while introducing chemical (phosphorus) fertilizers into the soil, into its lower layer. It is also useful to add humus-rich substances, for example, compost or well-settled manure.

    Planting time for floribunda roses in the middle lane:

• in spring: from April 20 to May 30.
• autumn: September 10 to October 20.

   Landing. There are two ways to plant roses.

1. In this case, it is better to land with two people. At the bottom of a previously dug hole, the prepared mixture is poured with a slide. One is holding a rose. The depth to which the plant is lowered into the hole is determined by the grafting site, which should be 3-8 cm below the soil level. The second one spreads the roots and gradually fills them with soil mixture, carefully compacting it with his hands. After planting, the seedling is watered abundantly, and when the water is absorbed entirely, it is covered with earth and so left until spring.

The planting depth of the plant is determined by the site of grafting.

When planting, the grafting site should be 3 - 8 cm below the soil level.

When planting, they try not to damage the bark on the root collar and skeletal roots.

2 A bucket of water with a heteroauxin tablet dissolved in it is poured into the pit or sodium humate is added until the color of weakly brewed tea is obtained. Hold the seedling with one hand, lowering it to the center of the hole, directly into the water, and with the other hand gradually fill the hole with the prepared soil mixture. The earth with water fills well the space between the roots and does not form voids. Shake the seedling periodically and compact the soil well.

In this case, watering is not needed.If the earth has subsided, then the next day you need to slightly raise the seedling, add earth and huddle it by 10-15 cm. Then, the plant must be shaded for 10-12 days.

The root collar (grafting site) should be 3-8 cm below soil level for any planting method. The fact is that new buds and shoots on a seedling are formed where it is well lit by the sun. If the grafting site is above the soil level, then new shoots are formed on the rootstock (rosehip) and abundant wild growth appears, and in dry hot weather the plant dries up and the plant develops poorly.

After planting a rose, do not forget to water it well.

For late spring planting, the soil must be mulched.

For late spring planting, carried out in dry warm weather, it is useful to cover the soil with a layer of moist peat, or even overlay the stem with wet moss or some other material that retains moisture for a long time. The crown of the plant is protected from strong sunlight with paper. After planting, the shoots are cut to 2 - 4 buds.

Floribunda rose care

Caring for floribunda roses comes down to regular watering, feeding, loosening and mulching the soil, pruning and sheltering plants for the winter.

    How to water? The rose needs quite a lot of water. In different phases of growth, the plant's need for water is not the same. She needs it most of all during the period of the most intensive development, i.e. just right when the buds bloom, shoots and leaves appear, and also after the end of the first flowering, when new shoots begin to grow.

Roses must be carefully looked after

As you can see, roses must be carefully looked after and properly watered without sufficient water and nutrients, the rose gives only weak shoots and frail underdeveloped flowers, as a rule, not double and on a short stem. The moisture that rain brings is very rarely sufficient. Superficial, even daily, watering does not matter to them.

Never water plants in hot weather. The settled water is recommended to be poured from a watering can without a sprinkler, in a trickle, directly to the base of the bush, into a shallowly deepened hole. In this case, it is important not to spray the leaves. Sprinkler irrigation typically results in less water entering the soil than expected. But if there is no other possibility, then at least it is not necessary to do this under the scorching rays of the sun and choose the time of watering so that the leaves have time to dry before the evening. At night, the risk of fungal infections on wet leaves increases.

Floribunda roses require different care at different times of the year. The end of summer and autumn is the time when excessive watering is not good, but rather, on the contrary, harms them. Excess water encourages plants to grow further, as a result, the shoots do not have time to ripen in time, and frost can easily damage them. Therefore, with the onset of September, it is better not to water the roses, they have enough natural precipitation. But if the autumn is very dry, then you will still have to water moderately so that they, having entered the winter period, do not remain without moisture in the roots.

    How to feed? An important part of caring for roses is ensuring that they are properly nourished and especially fertilized. For this, as a rule, complex combined fertilizers are used. Floribunda rose is especially sensitive to the high salt content in the soil solution, therefore, large doses of fertilizers should not be overused, especially on heavier soils, from which salts are washed out slowly.

In addition to mineral, when caring for roses, gardeners often use organic fertilizers. Manure should be fertilized well in advance of planting. It is filled into the topsoil, applying about 8 kg per 1 m2 on light soils and about half of this rate on heavy soils. The best dung is cow dung.

The roots should never come into contact with fresh manure. For young seedlings, this is simply destructive. Therefore, manure should be placed in the ground long before planting.Suitable for fertilizing roses and bone or horn meal.

In the first year after planting, roses are not fed.

In the first year after planting, the rose is not fertilized at all. They begin to apply fertilizers only from the second year and then they do it regularly, every spring and every summer.

When to fertilize

An approximate fertilization scheme is as follows:

• In early spring, as soon as the weather permits, even before the roses begin to open, they apply 60-80 g of complete fertilizers per 1 m2 of area, evenly scattering them over the entire surface. After the roses are opened, these fertilizers will be finely immersed in the ground.
• Around mid-May, when buds begin to appear on the bushes, after rain or watering, the plants are fed with a solution of fast-acting complete fertilizers. Optimal dose: 30 g of fertilizer per 10 liters of water. 3 liters of solution are poured under each bush.
• At the end of June, nutrient watering is repeated, adhering to the same rate and again on well-moistened soil.
• At the end of October or the beginning of November, potash fertilizers that do not contain chlorine are scattered over the surface, at the rate of 30 g per 1 m2 and the same amount of phosphorus fertilizers for the same area. If the bushes are covered by raking the earth on them, spare fertilizers can be applied after the plants are covered.

  Remember to water and feed the plants.

    Loosening and mulching. Roses need loose soil that is not overgrown with weeds, where air can easily penetrate and which warms up well. Frequent loosening saves the grower of fertilizer and irrigation water.

However, deep loosening can sometimes be harmful to a rose if its roots are damaged. That is why soil cultivation should be shallow, to a depth not exceeding 10 cm.

When caring for floribunda roses, it is good to use flooring, mulch. When mulching, the surface of the ground is covered with a suitable material such as foliage, hay, peat or old, well-decomposed manure. It is advisable in the spring, immediately after cutting and processing the beds and flower beds, spread a layer of mulch about 8 cm between the rose bushes.

Floribunda rose pruning

Floribunda rose pruning.

The list of measures for caring for floribunda roses also includes annual pruning of roses. Roses need pruning, its purpose is to rejuvenate the bushes. Heavy to medium pruning is based on the ability of these roses to regenerate quickly and flower from the base of the bush. Flower buds form throughout the season (at short intervals), resulting in continuous, abundant, long-lasting flowering. First of all, dry, damaged and thin branches are removed, leaving only a few strong shoots.

Floribunda roses can be cut in spring in the same way as hybrid tea, leaving 3-5 strong shoots on each bush, shortening them by 3-4 buds, about 10 cm above the ground. With medium pruning, 4-6 buds are left. If there are side shoots on the main stem, they are shortened.

In the fall, the bushes are not pruned much, the main pruning is carried out in the spring.

Shelter for the winter

Floribunda roses are considered unpretentious, caring for them is not difficult, they recover much faster than tea-hybrid roses after frost damage. However, in the middle lane, these roses also need to be covered. To do this, the bushes are cut in half (up to a height of 40 cm) and the leaves remaining on the shoots are removed.

Then they huddle with earth to a height of 20-30 cm and cover with spruce branches, oak leaves, non-woven material in case of cold, snowless weather. When the snow cover is established, the roses will be completely protected from frost.

We owe the development of these varieties to the work of a Danish breeder, who at the beginning of the last century began crossing polyanthus and hybrid tea roses. The resulting specimens were subjected to further selection work, as a result of which the world saw another wonderful variety. Floribunda was officially registered in 1952, after which the floribunda rose, the main varieties, the planting and care of which are discussed in our article, confidently won numerous fans.

The best varieties and characteristics

The advantages of these varieties have been appreciated by gardeners all over the world. Floribunda rose varieties are distinguished by a variety of colors, long flowering, and relatively good frost resistance, which makes cultivation less problematic. In addition, many species are characterized by the following feature: the petals change their color as they bloom. This allows you to achieve the effect of multi-colored flowering, when several shades of the same or related color are visible on one bush at once.

Among the popular varieties, the following are distinguished:

1. Diadem The bush is compact in size and abundant flowering. The color of the petals is pale pink, fading to snow-white. The leaves are dark, small in shape. The plant is characterized by a high degree of frost resistance, as well as immunity to common diseases.
2. Carte Blanche (Carte Blanche). White roses of amazing beauty are collected in numerous inflorescences. On one bush, the height of which does not exceed 90-100 centimeters, there are up to 15 brushes. Flowers are distinguished by a bright aroma, as well as excellent winter hardiness.
3. Lilli Marleen (Lilly Marleen). The bright red flowers of this plant are distinguished by a delicate aroma. The plant forms a very compact shrub up to half a meter in height. This species can be a great addition to a garden group. Roses are distinguished by strong immunity against common diseases, as well as frost resistance.
4. Kimono (Kimono). A fragrant bush with long flowering. Planting kimono floribunda roses should preferably be placed in open, lighted areas. This variety is famous for its ability to change the color of petals from deep pink to delicate pastel under the influence of sunlight.
5. Fiesta Flamenca (Flamenco). Forms bushes 70-80 centimeters high. One of the best cut roses, it has an original carmine color, is very unpretentious, and its flowering can last more than three weeks.

A characteristic feature of this type of rose is the formation of a large number of buds. For this, the plant needs a lot of strength and nutrients, so the main task of the gardener is to provide the plant with the necessary conditions.

Disembarkation dates

Usually, experienced gardeners recommend planting roses in early spring. This method has its advantages and disadvantages, but the main argument in favor of planting in autumn is often the reduced cost of seedlings, which is half the "spring" price. Of course, for beginners, the cultivation of floribunda roses should begin in the spring, but subject to the basic rules of planting and care, the plant will safely overwinter and enter the new season strong and healthy.

For the middle lane, you should focus on the following dates:

• Spring planting starts on April 20 and lasts until May 30.
• Floribunda roses are planted in autumn from September 10 to October 20.

For more northern regions, the dates are shifted by two to three weeks. If the seedlings will be grown in greenhouse conditions, it is wiser to plant the spring planting two weeks earlier.

Planting floribunda roses

It will take a lot of time and attention to successfully grow this type of roses. The first step is to properly prepare the landing site. Basic requirements: good illumination, protection from drafts and low groundwater occurrence.For a rose garden, the southern slopes, as well as high flower beds and landscape compositions, will be ideal. It would be ideal to consider an option when a light shadow will fall on the planted bushes in the afternoon. This way you can prolong flowering, as well as avoid sunburn and premature drying of the shoots.

Seedlings are selected strong, with a developed root system and green bark. In addition, on a healthy bush, two or three strong shoots with intact bark will be formed. Particular attention should be paid to the root collar. It should be about 5-8 mm in diameter, uniform in girth from the bottom and from the top of the graft.

How is the landing:

• A hole for a rose is dug in advance, removing and debugging the upper fertile layer. A drainage layer is poured at the bottom of the hole, which ensures the outflow of excess moisture.
• The upper part of the earth is mixed with humus, well-rotted manure and phosphate fertilizers.
• The seedling must be installed vertically upward, gently spread the roots. They are preliminarily examined, dry and damaged processes are removed, and the main root processes are cut to 20-25 centimeters. After planting, the aerial part is also cut off. It should rise 30-35 centimeters above the soil level.
• Sprinkle the soil in small portions, lightly tamping it with your hands. Ideally, there should be no air voids near the roots.
• An important condition for proper planting is the location of the root collar. It should be 5-8 centimeters submerged in the soil. If this is not done, the bush will actively begin to form "wild" growth. In addition, under the influence of sunlight, the root collar can dry out, which can lead to the death of the entire bush.
• After planting, water the soil actively, and mulch the root area with straw, peat or sawdust of coniferous trees.
• In the first days after planting, it is advisable to shade the bush a little from direct sunlight.

There is another way to do the floribunda planting. To do this, pour a bucket of water into the prepared hole, and plant the seedling immediately after that. The stalk should be immersed in water to the grafting site, and the soil is poured and compacted. After such planting, watering is not required.

Further care

A successful planting is a big deal, but without proper care, roses will never bring the expected results in breeding. Floribundas are not capricious in nature, but inappropriate growing conditions inevitably affect the duration and volume of flowering. To prevent this from happening, it is important to learn the basic requirements for plant development.

Important conditions for proper care:

1. Abundant and regular watering. For these purposes, it is necessary to use warm settled water. The time for watering is chosen not hot, so as not to damage the leaves and buds.
2. Sprinkling is useful before and after flowering. This will help crumple the hoop off the bush, refresh the foliage, and provide visual appeal to the plant.
3. Loosening is carried out at a depth of no more than 10 centimeters so as not to damage the root system. It is advisable to repeat this procedure every two weeks.
4. Top dressing is carried out the next year after planting. For this, nitrogen and organic complexes are used before the formation of buds. Immediately before flowering, complex phosphorus-potassium fertilizers are used; feeding during the flowering period is repeated every two to three weeks.
5. Bushes are pruned twice a year. Spring molding pruning is done before the plant awakens. The purpose of pruning in autumn is to remove thickened and weak shoots.
6. To prevent the development of diseases and pest attacks, preventive spraying is carried out. The choice of suitable drugs is quite large. If a problem has already been detected, the fight against the scourge is carried out using special means that are commercially available.
7. To protect the rose from freezing, it is recommended to build a special air shelter.Do not cover the bush with foil or other non-breathable materials. Special frames with stretched agrofibre are best suited for these purposes.

Floribunda rose: planting and care in the open field, growing rules Link to main publication

Floribunda rose is the result of long-term selection work. Back in the 1920s, Danish breeder Svend Poulsen began crossing large-flowered polyanthus roses with hybrid tea, then with hybrid polyanthus and other garden varieties. The result of a creative search was a hybrid called Floribunda, officially registered in 1952.... Since then, this unique group of roses has been leading its history. In the course of ongoing breeding, a huge number of varieties have been bred, differing in the color of the petals, the shape of the buds and the height of the bush. But they all correspond to the name of the group, which translates as profusely flowering.

The best varieties

The varieties of the Floribunda group of roses can be listed for a long time, each of them is good in its own way and each is able to decorate any site or flower bed.

Main characteristics of Floribunda rose

Rose Floribunda has become a favorite and popular among domestic gardeners due to its wonderful qualities. These include:

• beautiful scent;
• abundant and long bloom;
• large color choice and shapes of buds;
• unpretentiousness in care;
• steadiness to disease;
• high winter hardiness.

The latter quality is especially appreciated in our latitudes, because the plant is not afraid of frosts and tolerates Russian winters well, and if it does suffer, it recovers much faster than other varieties of roses.

Floribunda rose color

Floribunda roses are propagated by grafting or cuttings... Experienced gardeners can grow a rose from seeds, but this is a troublesome task, the result of which will not be seen until a few years later.

Roses of this group are bred for bouquet cutting and to decorate the garden area. The versatility of the plant allows it to be grown outdoors, in greenhouses and even flower pots.

The main advantage of the Floribunda group is considered to be abundant flowering throughout the summer. Simple, double and double flowers are collected on the bushes in lush brushes up to 10-12 pieces, giving the bush a special decorative effect. A variety of colors allows you to create spectacular compositions both in single-varietal plantings and in combination with other flowering and decorative deciduous plants.

Landing

Before planting a Floribunda rose on the site, it is worth making sure that there is a suitable place for it. These plants need a lot of sunshine, but bright sunshine all day long will not work.... It is advisable to choose a site where, in the midday heat, the bushes can be in the shade, otherwise the roses will quickly fade.

Plants planted on the south side of buildings or fences will suffer from sunburn, and near the corners of buildings and in the aisles between them - from drafts.

Floribunda roses are preferable to plant in the spring, but this can be done in the fall. Gardeners of the middle lane should be guided by the approximate planting dates for their latitudes.:

• from late April to late May;
• from early September to mid-October.

Before you start planting roses, you must first prepare the ground for this.

When choosing a grafted rose seedling, pay attention to the root collar. Its diameter should not exceed 5-8 mm. The seedling should have 2-3 lignified shoots, covered with intact green bark, and a developed root system with a sufficient number of thin roots.

The soil for Floribunda roses is prepared in advance. The optimum is considered to be sandy-clayey, moderately air-permeable soil with a high content of humus. When preparing a site for planting, the site is dug to the depth of a shovel and compost and phosphorus fertilizers are applied. Landing is carried out as follows:

• Sapling shoots are cut to 35 cm, the roots are shortened to 25-30 cm.
• Preparing the landing pit, a mound is poured from the soil mixture into the center of the pit.
• Lower the seedling into the hole, carefully straightening the root system on the surface of the mound.
• Planting depth is determined by the site of vaccination - it should be 3-8 cm deeper ground surface.
• Cover the roots with soil mixture, tamp with hands and watered.
• Escapes pruned to 2-4 buds.
• The first time after landing shade the plant from the midday sun.

Further Floribunda roses can be propagated by cuttings, which are first kept in a root formation stimulator, and after the roots appear, they are planted in open ground or a flower pot.

Care

Proper care consists in watering, loosening, mulching, feeding and shelter for the winter.

Watering

Watering for roses plays a big role, especially during intensive growth, when plants form young shoots, leaves and flower buds. Lack of moisture will negatively affect the decorative effect of flowers.... Water the plants regularly and abundantly, at least once a week. For irrigation, use warm, settled water.

Watering these roses requires regular and abundant watering, especially in the hot season.

It is best to moisturize the soil in the evening by directing the stream to the base of the bush. In addition to traditional irrigation, sprinkling is used.

When sprinkling Floribunda roses, choose the morning or evening hours so that the moisture has time to evaporate from the foliage before nightfall, otherwise the development of fungal diseases is possible.

Loosening and mulching

Loosening is a necessary procedure to provide the roots with sufficient air and life-giving moisture. The soil under the bushes is loosened to a depth of no more than 10 cm, otherwise there is a risk of damaging the sensitive roots.

It is useful to mulch the soil with a suitable organic material in a layer of about 8 cm. This will retain moisture in the soil and prevent weed growth.

Top dressing

Floribunda roses will not be able to show all the beauty of flowering without additional nutrition. If the required amount of nutrients was laid when planting the plant, then in the first year after planting the bushes are not fed.

After pruning, the flower must be fed with mineral fertilizers.

Starting from the second spring, roses need regular feeding, the number of which can reach 5-7 per season. The first feeding is carried out in early spring, the second - when the first buds appear, further - with an interval of 1-1.5 months.

For feeding, I use complex fertilizers in the form of a solution of 30 g of fertilizer and 10 liters of water. Pour 3 liters of nutrient solution under each plant always on damp ground - after watering or rain. In the fall in late October - early November, potash fertilizers are applied without chlorine in a dry form, scattering them over the surface.

Shelter for the winter

When growing roses in the middle lane, Floribunda rose bushes are covered for the winter. The remaining inflorescences and leaves are preliminarily removed, sanitary pruning is carried out and the shoots are shortened to a height of 0.4 m... Then they huddle up to 0.2-0.3 m with earth and cover with spruce branches or non-woven covering material in case of a winter with little snow. The snow that has fallen will cover the bushes with fluffy caps, and then the frosts will not be terrible for the plants.

Pruning

For Floribunda roses, regular pruning is an important maintenance item. It is held twice a year - in spring and summer. The main formative is the spring pruning of bushes. The abundance and duration of flowering of garden beauties depends on how correctly it is carried out. To enjoy fragrant flowers all summer long, follow the basic pruning rules.:

• Start spring pruning after warm weather sets in, since young shoots that begin to grow actively may suffer from frost.
• Necessarily remove branches older than 2 yearsas well as thin, dry and damaged.
• Trim the top of the bush, shorten the lateral processes on the main shoot.
• Leave 3-5 strong and strong shootscutting out completely old shoots in the middle of the bush.
• With medium pruning leave 4-6 kidneys, at low - 3-4 kidneys.
• Do a cut above the upper kidney by 1 cm... At the same time, the bud should be on the outside of the shoot, then the bush that has grown subsequently will look spectacular.
• Make oblique cuts for free drainage of water, after cutting, cover them with garden pitch.

If the Floribunda rose is not pruned or pruned lightly, it will grow into a large shrub with weak stems. Correctly done spring pruning stimulates the plant to form lush flower clusters with a lot of buds., which will begin to open in June.Pruning in summer will prolong the flowering of the rose bushes. In the fall, only sanitary pruning is carried out.

Protection against diseases and pests

Floribunda roses are susceptible to attack by insects and fungal infections. Dangerous for flowers are rose sawfly, spider mite, aphid, rose leafhopper and leafworm... For pest control, ready-made insecticides are used, since there is a great choice of them. Preventive treatment of plants in early spring is useful.

Rust, powdery mildew, leaf spot and gray rot are more common fungal infections on rose bushes. The infection can be stopped by removing all affected leaves and shoots, treatment with iron vitriol or Bordeaux liquid... It is also recommended to use fungicidal preparations.

Summary

Floribunda is an unpretentious plant. The varieties of this particular group are recommended for inexperienced gardeners to comprehend the intricacies of growing garden roses. Bushes of different heights will create magnificent curbs or hedges on the site, will be effective in group or single plantings... Correct pruning and regular application of complex fertilizers will ensure abundant flowering throughout the summer, which will delight the owners of the site and attract the attention of passers-by.
