Roses ground cover planting and care in the open field for beginners

Roses are not in vain considered the queens of the flower garden. Lush blooms and a magical aroma attract attention and conquer any heart. But the cultivation of a rose garden is fraught with trouble. Not every grower can allocate enough time for this. However, there is a group of the most low-maintenance roses, the cultivation of which is available even to very busy people - groundcover. Consider how to grow ground cover roses from seeds / cuttings, when to plant and what kind of care is needed.

General description and subgroups of ground cover roses

The group of ground cover includes roses that have a number of common features:

• the ability of the bush to grow strongly to the sides;
• the ability to abundant and long-lasting flowering;
• the presence of dense leafy shoots with small foliage;
• frost resistance;
• disease resistance.

The height of the bush or the diameter of the flower in this case does not matter. Among the ground cover there are both high and low roses. Therefore, within the group, an additional division into several subgroups is accepted. Let's consider them in the table.

Subgroup	Characteristic	Examples of varieties
Low-growing creeping	Fast-growing bushes, creeping shoots, horizontal. Height no more than 50 cm.	Snow carpet
Low drooping	Bushes grow slowly. Shoots are arched. Height from 50 to 95 cm.	Ice meillandecor Red blanket
Large creeping	Bushes with a height of 50 cm to 1 m. Shoots are arranged horizontally, spread out.	Heidekonigin Max graf
Tall drooping	Bushes with arched drooping shoots. Height over 1 m.	Fiona
Wide vertical	Shoots are short, directed upwards. Bushes grow widely.	Fru Dagmar Hastrup

The flowers of this group of roses are both simple and double. The aroma of an individual flower is usually weak, but since up to several hundred of them bloom simultaneously on each adult plant, the scent is felt even from a distance.

Each bush of ground cover roses is capable of covering an area of ​​1-3 m2

Review of popular varieties of ground cover roses

Of greatest interest among ground cover roses are varieties of modern breeding, showing good flowering in the Russian climate. Consider these varieties in the table.

Variety	Description

When choosing varieties of ground cover roses for your site, you need to pay attention not only to the flower, but also to the quality of the foliage. It is she who is an indicator of the health of the plant. In the best modern varieties, the foliage has a waxy coating, thanks to which the rose successfully resists fungal attack.

Tip # 1. Some varieties of climbing roses can be grown as a ground cover by throwing whips on the ground in a spread.

High varieties of ground cover roses can form flowering hedges, dividing the area into zones

Growing ground cover roses from seeds

Amateur florists very rarely grow roses from seeds, preferring vegetative propagation methods. However, some are attracted by the opportunity to "conjure" over the seedlings and get a lot of their own seedlings with minimal financial investment.

To grow roses from seeds, you need to be patient and take 5 steps:

1. In early February, disinfect the seeds in a solution of potassium permanganate or Fitosporin. Then wrap them in a napkin moistened with Epin-Extra solution and keep them at room temperature for 10 days. All this time, you need to monitor the humidity and ventilate the seeds.
2. Prepare a seedling container with nutritious moist soil. Sow the soaked seeds, without deepening them more than 0.5 cm. Cover the container with glass and put it in a cool place with a temperature of + 7-10⁰С.
3. In early April, when the first shoots hatch, transfer the container under a phytolamp or on a very light window sill and remove the glass. Seedlings must be protected from direct sunlight.
4. In the phase of the 1st true leaf, the seedlings dive into separate pots. When they take root, feed with a complete mineral fertilizer for flowering plants. In the first season, roses are not planted in open ground, they are grown indoors.
5. The next spring, in May, move young seedlings to a permanent place.

The flowering of roses grown from seeds begins in the second year of life. Seed reproduction has a feature that can be considered both a disadvantage and an advantage - seedlings of free pollination do not inherit the characteristics of the parent variety. It will not work to get a varietal rose in this way. But a unique plant may appear, which no one else has.

Seedling fertilization should be minimized in order to stimulate the root system to grow.

Alternative breeding method for ground cover roses

An easier and faster way to propagate ground cover roses is by layering. To do this, in the spring, a long, one-year-old shoot is chosen and a shallow annular cut in the bark is made under one of the buds.

With a notched place, the shoot is pinned to the ground and buried in, leaving the buds located above the ground. Until autumn, the soil moisture is closely monitored. In the fall, the rooted cuttings are separated from the mother bush and transplanted for growing.

The second popular method is grafting. Its advantage is that in this way you can get planting material from a plant that is not in your own area. When preparing cuttings, it is important to pay attention to the age of the shoot. He should be young enough but mature enough. Cuttings cut from lignified branches take root worse than green ones.

Ground cover roses: planting and care in the open field

In southern regions with warm winters, ground cover roses can be planted in the ground in the fall. In the Middle Lane and to the north, it is better to plan a landing in the spring.

The site is chosen bright, but not in the sun. The best options are the southwest or southeast side of the site, where the roses will be slightly shaded for part of the day.

Planting of seedlings is carried out according to the following technology:

1. A landing hole is being prepared. Its dimensions should correspond to the dimensions of the root system of the seedling with a margin of about 10 cm.
2. The seedling is set in the hole. At the same time, the root collar is located above the soil surface.
3. The planting hole is covered with fertile soil. This is done in layers. Each layer is well watered to avoid voids.
4. The trunk circle is mulched. You can use peat, humus, decorative chips or bark.

Tip # 2. Rose seedlings are best purchased immediately before planting in the ground. The longer the seedling is stored, the worse it takes root later.

It is better to give roses a slightly elevated place, without stagnation of spring melt water

Rules for caring for ground cover roses

Maintenance of these roses is minimal. It includes timely watering, top dressing and small sanitary pruning. However, these unpretentious roses have their own secrets. When growing them, it is important to avoid the following mistakes:

1. Leave roses without winter shelter. Some gardeners overly hope for the high winter hardiness of ground cover roses. But only Canadian roses and varieties of the Citiflor group of the German nursery Tantau can winter without shelter in the Russian climate.
2. Cover roses for the winter with foil. This leads to damping and decay of plants. It is enough to spud ground cover roses, pouring half a bucket of earth into the center of the bush. Shoots do not need to fall asleep. After hilling, the bush is covered with spruce branches and thin lutrasil and in this form it leaves for the winter.
3. Leave faded inflorescences on the bush. This not only makes the plant unkempt, but also reduces the flowering rate. It is not recommended to cut ground cover roses strongly, but it is necessary to remove spent inflorescences or diseased shoots. Read also the article: → "Shelter of roses for the winter"

Ground cover roses are capable of self-forming bush

Fertilizers for abundant flowering of ground cover roses

Lush, long-lasting flowering cannot occur without fertilization. But the spreading habit of ground cover roses makes feeding difficult. Fertilizers of prolonged action can facilitate the task.

«Plantacote "	Granules in a polymer semi-permeable shell, which are applied under the bush in the spring 1 time per season. The composition is fully balanced and designed specifically for rich flowering plants.
APION	An innovative feeding system produced in soft dosing balls. It acts on the principle of an osmotic pump: feeding is released into the soil in portions, when the roots are absorbing. Two balls for a bush are enough for 2 years.
"Bona Forte Universal"	A complete NPK complex mixed with zeolite, a mineral that holds the nutrient solution in the root zone. Spread the granules over the soil around the bush in the spring and water. One top dressing is enough for the season.
«AVA Universal 2-3 years "	The most economical fertilizer: 1 tablespoon is placed under a bush once every 3 years. It activates flowering, increases winter hardiness of roses and their resistance to diseases.
"Osmocote"	Complex fertilizer, applied once every six months - in spring and autumn. Substances are released from the granules under the action of osmotic pressure.

If traditional mineral dressings are used, they need to be stopped at the beginning of autumn, before the onset of cold weather.

Improving the soil for roses with organic

You can also saturate the soil with nutrients with the help of organic matter. Usually, manure, bird droppings, herbal infusions and sapropel are used for this.

Manure

Only well-rotted cow or horse manure is used. 1 part of manure is diluted in 10 parts of water, infused for a week and the roses are watered at the root.

Bird droppings

Usually they take lying chicken droppings and dilute them with water in a ratio of 1:10. After seven days of infusion, watering is performed under the bush.

Herbal infusion

Finely chopped green mass (mowed lawn grass, green manure, weeds before seeding) is compacted into a barrel and filled with water. After 10 days of fermentation, the infusion is diluted in a 1:10 ratio and watered.

Sapropel

Effectively double application - in early spring and after the opening of the first buds. The fertilizer is laid out around the bushes, slightly embedded in the soil and watering is performed.

Organics not only provide the roses with the necessary nutrition, but also improve the structure of the soil

Florists' questions about growing ground cover roses

Question number 1. What diseases do ground cover roses suffer from?

Most modern varieties are resistant to all diseases. Very rarely, ground cover roses are affected by powdery mildew and black spot. As a safety net, you can spray roses with Fitosporin solution several times a season.

Question number 2... How to collect fallen leaves under groundcover roses?

This is required only in cases where the bush has been ill. Then they put on tight gloves, pick up the shoots and collect the foliage. Fallen petals can be left under healthy plants as a natural fertilizer.

Question number 3... What pests affect ground cover roses?

Ground cover roses are highly resistant to pests. For preventive purposes, you can from time to time do the treatment with the drug "Fitolavin". Read also the article: → "How to get rid of spider mites on roses?"

Question number 4. How to use ground cover roses in landscaping?

In Europe, this group of roses is actively used for landscaping slopes. On the site, they can be used to create curbs, plant them on the lawn as a specimen, decorate stone hills and stairs, creating multi-level compositions. Some varieties of roses are also suitable for container growing.

Features of growing ground cover roses

These plants were singled out into a separate group about 50 years ago. It combines profusely flowering shrubs with wide creeping or slightly drooping arched shoots. Height from 40 cm to 2 m, crown width from 50 cm to 3 m.

Ground cover roses

Plants are well leafy, the leaves are medium-sized, shiny, form a dense green crown. Small flowers are double, semi-double or simple, collected in inflorescences, graceful and elegant.

For the ability to form dense flowering coatings, they are called carpet roses. They are used to create elements of landscape design and garden decor, therefore they are also called landscape ones.

Advantages common to ground cover roses:

• unpretentiousness, ease of care;
• frost resistance;
• immunity to diseases and pests;
• abundant long flowering;
• easy reproduction by layering;
• rapid growth and acquisition of a decorative appearance;
• from 2 years old they suppress weeds.

They are planted along the paths, in the lower tier of flower beds, in rabat beds. With their help, they create color accents on lawns, enliven gentle slopes, decorate retaining walls and terraces.... Compact varieties look great in planters and wicker baskets.

Planting and leaving

Landing dates and site selection

Carpet roses are planted in spring or early autumn, long before the onset of frost. In the regions of the middle zone and to the north, spring plantings are preferred.to give the plants time to take root and grow stronger.

The soil is chosen fertile, loamy, loose, well moistened and drained.

Roses do not tolerate stagnant moisture in the soil and high-standing groundwater. A good solution is placement on raised beds or gentle slopes.

Provide good lighting for the rose garden... At the same time, light partial shade in the sultry afternoon hours will not hurt.

Good placement for roses - on the western or southeastern steep slopes.

How to plant

The variety is selected taking into account its "adult" size, planned use, placement on the site.

Spring is the most favorable time of the year for planting

For a pink flower bed, dig the entire planting area into 2 shovel bayonets in depth.

Before planting, you need to carefully select plant residues, weeds and their rhizomes from the soil.Subsequently, it is difficult to remove weeds from under the thorny bushes.

Pits are prepared 50 cm in diameter and to a depth of 60-70 cm on average, but 10-20 cm longer than the length of the roots of the seedling. To plant a curb or hedge, dig a trench... The bottom is loosened by 25-35 cm.

Shoots are shortened, leaving 2-4 buds on each. Dry and damaged roots are cut off. The seedling is placed in a hole, covered with soil. Every layer of earth is watered.

From above, the soil is compacted and again watered abundantly.

Care

Young bushes are watered 2 times a week, adults - 1 time in 7-10 days. Overfilling and overdrying are undesirable.

They are fed three times a season:

• after the appearance of leaves;
• after the first wave of flowering and removal of old inflorescences;
• early autumn.

The first two times they apply complex mineral fertilizers, the third - only phosphorus and potash fertilizers.

In spring, old unopened leaves are removed on rose bushes and sanitary pruning is carried out

Cut off shoots in early spring:

• dried up;
• frozen;
• broken;
• sick.

Young plantings are mulched with bark, shavings, leaf compost or cover the soil with a black film. These measures will prevent the development of weeds.

Adult landscape roses cover the soil surface tightly and oppress weeds.

Reproduction of roses

Groundcover roses are easily propagated by layering.

In the spring, one or more long shoots are chosen. Dig into a deep groove (10cm deep) in one or more places so that there are 1-2 buds at the bottom for the formation of roots, and 1-2 buds on top, from which shoots are formed. Fasten with hooks or wooden pins, watered.

Breeding scheme for ground cover roses by layering

The soil is kept moist until autumn. For the winter, the shoots are covered with spruce branches... In the spring, cuttings are separated from the mother plant and transplanted to the desired location.

Preparing for winter

For better preparation for winter and ripening of shoots in the fall, watering and feeding of roses is stopped.

Ground cover plants are considered winter-hardy and do not need shelter..

In the domestic climate, this is true only for the southern regions and areas with mild snowy winters. It is advisable to protect the bushes with spruce branches or lukrasil, creating an additional air cushion.

Ground cover roses are unpretentious in care and cultivation, novice gardeners can cope with it... They respond to care and attention with abundant flowering and delight with a riot of colors, grace, spectacular decorativeness.

At the end of the last century, ground cover roses were singled out as a separate group, but you can still find examples of how the same variety is called among ground cover, standard or climbing varieties. Ground cover roses, blooming wildly all summer, are distinguished by the amazing decorativeness of all parts of the plant, and it is much easier to care for them than other representatives of this aristocratic family.

Use in landscape design

Ground cover roses perform two functions - they decorate the site and hide its imperfections. In addition, they perfectly strengthen the ground on the slopes. Landscape designers love them, as this diverse group of flowers can be a bright accent of aristocratic restrained design or add a romantic touch with their lush, widespread bush and long flowering.

This group of roses combines plants with a stem length of 20 to 180 cm. They can grow straight up or gracefully bend towards the ground. Their flowers are simple and double, 2–5 cm in size, of various colors, almost odorless or with an intoxicating aroma. On the bush, from 80 to 150 buds can form at the same time. Most varieties bloom from May to September.

This explains the variety of uses. Low-growing ground cover roses can be an excellent border. They are often found on alpine slides.Cascading shoots with a cascade of many flowers lend luxury to props, ladders or stone walls in tiered gardens. The compactness of the bushes, exquisitely growing in width, allows them to be used in single plantings in flowerpots on terraces or galleries. They become an indispensable participant in multilevel rose gardens, perfectly combined with scrubs and standard plants. A groundcover rose of a certain variety can make every corner of the garden unique.

Designers often combine ground cover roses with irises, bells, delphinium, dahlias, clematis, perennial grasses and cereals.

Landing

The planting and care that these roses require is within the power of even beginners, which is another huge advantage.

Site selection and soil preparation

Roses need a lot of sun. For planting, it is better to choose the southwestern or southeastern slopes so that the bushes receive a lot of light, but in the hot midday hours they are protected by a small shadow. If you force them to bloom in direct sunlight, the petals will lose their color intensity and get burned.

Groundwater should not come close to the surface; roses will like a raised flower bed more.

Roses are planted away from walls or large plants so that nothing will oppress their root system. The distance between the bushes should correspond to the requirements of the variety, because some grow by several meters, while for others, 50-70 cm is enough.

It is important to prepare not a pit, but the entire area on which the roses will be located. They do this in advance. The soil should be slightly acidic (5.5–6.5 pH), fertile, black earth or loamy. The selected area is dug to a depth of 70 cm, freed from weeds and their roots, fertilizers are applied, if necessary, the acidity and structure of the soil are adjusted. For spring planting, it is better to do this in autumn, for autumn planting - in the middle of summer.

The planting hole itself is dug 50-60 cm wide, and 20 cm deep more than the length of the roots.

Planting timing

Can be planted in spring and autumn. In regions with mild winters, this is done 3-4 weeks before frost, in the north - in May.

Preparation of seedlings

Seedlings with open roots are examined, damaged roots are cut off or the roots are shortened to 30 cm, and soaked in water. When planting in autumn, the shoots are not cut off significantly, all dry or broken leaves, unhealthy parts of the shoots are removed. When planting in spring, the entire ground part is cut off to 2-4 buds.

Seedlings from a container are advised to plant directly with a clod of earth. But if it crumbles, it is better to slightly bare the roots and cut or at least shorten some.

Landing in the ground

Before planting, the roots can be dipped in a clay-dung chatter. You can plant it wet (first pour at least one bucket of water into the pit) or dry (water it after planting). But more often they choose a combined one: straightened roots are laid out on a hill of fertile land, gradually covered with warm water, so that the soil settles without voids. The root collar should be 3-5 cm below ground level, and the covered and watered bush should sit tightly. After that, the rose is spud to a height of 20–25 cm, and uncooked when the twigs grow 5 cm. Then they are mulched with peat, compost, pieces of bark or cut grass.

Care

Ground cover roses are persistent, if they do not like the planting and care, they will lose their decorative effect, but they will wait until the owner corrects the mistakes.

Watering

Watering is necessary only if necessary, adult bushes - once a week, and young ones - twice.

Loosening and mulching

The land around the bushes should always be weed-free and sufficiently loose. In order not to suffer with loosening under thorny bushes, it is better to mulch them.

Fertilizer

Abundantly blooming roses need a lot of fertilizers, so roses are fed with infusion of manure or bird droppings, ammonium nitrate, complex mineral fertilizers, superphosphate, potassium nitrate.Plants respond well to foliar feeding.

Two weeks after the appearance of the leaves and then until the middle of summer, fertilizers containing nitrogen are applied. After the first wave of flowering, it is excluded. Closer to autumn, phosphorus and potassium are added.

Pruning

Roses are pruned in spring for shaping to remove frozen, broken shoots. After that, the bushes are treated with copper-containing preparations or ash. Many people believe that it is better not to do this every year, but to limit ourselves only to regular anti-aging pruning after 6-7 years. This is a mandatory procedure when all shoots are shortened to 20-25 cm.

Shelter for the winter

Ground cover varieties are considered frost-resistant, but if the snow may be late, it is better to cover them with spruce branches or build a wire frame, which is covered with lutrasil.

Reproduction

These roses are easy to propagate by layering or cuttings. A long one-year shoot is buried in the spring, watered all summer, and in the fall (or next spring) a new plant can be planted. Cuttings are cut all summer, rooted in soil, water, potatoes or using the burrito method, then planted in the spring in a flower bed.

Video "Caring for ground cover roses"

This video will show you how to care for ground cover roses.

If you love roses, you should definitely have several ground cover varieties in your collection. We will now tell you how to plant them correctly.

In spring, ground cover roses can be planted from late April to mid-May, when the soil warms up enough.

How to choose a good groundcover rose seedling

A healthy and viable seedling should have at least three well-developed shoots and an extensive root system. The bark on the shoots should be fresh, without dark spots and white bloom, without scratches or other damage. Also, pay attention to the place of grafting: the scion and rootstock should be the same in diameter (about 6-8 mm).

Where to plant a ground cover rose?

The best place for a groundcover rose is on a sunny slope with a slope of up to 11 degrees to the west or southeast. It is here that the plant will receive enough light in the first half of the day, and in the hottest midday time it will be in the shade.

How to prepare a landing pit

Groundcover roses grow best in loamy soil. But on heavy clay and dry sandy soil, plants grow slowly and often get sick.

Groundcover, like any other rose, prefer slightly acidic soil (pH 5.5 to 6.5).

It is better to prepare a planting hole with a depth of 50-70 and a diameter of 50 cm in the fall. But if you have not thought about it in advance, then dig it up at least a few weeks before planting the plant.

If you are planting several seedlings at once, you can dig a trench. Fold the excavated soil - the top fertile layer and the bottom one - separately.

Planting a rose seedling in the ground

The technique of planting a ground cover rose is simple. The main thing is to follow the sequence of actions.

Step 1

Spread out the roots of the seedling, remove all the buds located below the grafting site, trim the roots a little and dip them in a clay mash.

Step 2

At the bottom of the planting hole, pour a 10 cm layer of sand (if the soil is heavy clay) or clay (if the soil is sandy).

Then - 1-2 buckets of compost.

Step 3

Mix the top fertile soil with 1-2 buckets of compost and place a mound in the hole.

Step 4

Spread out the roots of the seedling and lower it into the hole. Cover with the remaining soil so that the grafting site is just below ground level. Do not forget to carefully compact the soil with your hands so that there are no voids between the roots.

Step 5

Water the planted rose abundantly. If after this the vaccination site is on the surface, top up the soil. At the end of all procedures, the ground cover rose can be mulched with peat, humus or compost. This will protect the plant from weeds, drying out and hypothermia.

Caring for a groundcover rose after planting

It is advisable to shade the seedling for the first 10 days - this way it adapts more easily to new conditions. For shelter, you can use a wooden box, spruce branches or non-woven material.

Also, don't forget that young roses need frequent watering. Water the seedlings at least 1 time per week, preferably in the morning, spending 1-2 buckets of water for each bush.

Follow our advice, and then a ground cover rose planted in spring will surely take root and delight you with luxurious flowering.
