Stock rose carnival planting and care in the open field

Good afternoon, dear readers!

The stock rose has been grown in home gardens for many years and many growers love this plant very much for its unpretentiousness and beauty. The stock rose or Malva (Malva) belongs to the Malvaceae family.

The people call it - kalachik, mallow. More than 70 species of this plant are cultivated in Europe, Asia, North America, and northern Africa. These species, when crossed, gave rise to a huge variety of varieties and hybrids of this plant.

Description of the flower

The stem rose is an annual and perennial herb (depending on the species) with a straight, recumbent or ascending stem. At the beginning of growth, the stem is pubescent, later becomes naked. Plant height ranges from 30 to 250 centimeters. Leaves are round-heart-shaped, incised or with 5-7 lobes, pubescent, petiolate.

Flowers are located in the axils of the leaves (1-5 pieces each). The cup is three-leafed, 5 petals, the gynoecium consists of a large number of stipules, the calyx is divided into 5 parts.

The petals are deep crimson, inverted oblong-ovoid or triangular in shape with a wavy edge. There are varieties with simple, half-double and double flowers. The flower reaches 5-15 centimeters in diameter.

The stem-rose can be white, red, crimson, pink, yellow, lilac, lilac, purple and violet. Ovaries on the plant are multi-celled. Some species of this plant have cluster-like inflorescences, others are spike-shaped.

Each nest contains 1 ovule. The fruit is divided into achenes. Branched roots, long.

The rose stem blooms from mid-June until the first frost.

When to plant seeds for seedlings

Sowing rose stem seeds should be carried out in March - early April. When planting plants in greenhouses, sowing is done in February - early March.

When sowing seeds in open ground, the soil must be completely warmed up. For this, the end of May - early June or mid - end of August is suitable. When sown in open ground, the flowering of the rose stock occurs in a year.

Growing a stem of a rose with seedlings from seeds

Stock-rose is an unpretentious plant, easily tolerates drought and suffers from waterlogging. For better germination and early flowering, plants are grown using seedlings.

Annuals are sown in pots, greenhouses or hotbeds. After growing and strengthening, they are transplanted into the ground. Biennial and perennial plants are sown directly into open ground or greenhouses.

Seed preparation

Seeds of two years ago are distinguished by good germination.

To improve germination, preliminary preparation of the planting material is carried out. Seeds are filled with warm water for 12 hours. At the same time, they are saturated with moisture and germinate faster.

Sowing

The root system is a rod-shaped rose stem and this must be taken into account when sowing. Since transplanting from a common box can harm the plant, seeds are sown in separate pots, containers or cups.

The pots are filled with moistened nutrient soil made from turf, peat, compost, sand and sawdust. Seeds are laid out with tweezers or sown in rows, a thin layer of earth (1 centimeter) is sprinkled on top. Above the container with seeds is covered with a film. Inside the greenhouse, the temperature should not exceed 20 degrees.

Subject to the temperature regime, the first shoots appear in 2 weeks. After sprouting, when the main leaves appear (if necessary), thinning is performed. The space between plants should be at least 3 centimeters.

Seedling care

Care consists in moderate, regular watering, airing and hardening. After the emergence of seedlings, the shelter is removed. It is impossible to remove the film immediately, at first it is removed for 10 minutes, then for a longer period and so on until it is completely removed.

When the sprouts are stretched and pale in color, additional illumination with a phytolamp is performed. After the appearance of 3 main leaves, hardening is performed.For this, the room is ventilated, the pots with plants are exposed for a couple of hours in a cool room (balcony, veranda).

Picking a rose stock is not desirable. If this procedure is necessary, sprouts with 3 main leaves are transplanted with an earthen clod.

Transplant to open ground

On a flower bed, seedlings of a rose stock should be planted in May. By this time, the plants will be strong and the spring frosts will have passed. The place for planting should be light and closed from the wind. When planting in partial shade, the plants lose growth, the color of the flowers becomes pale.

The soil should be fertile, well-drained, light, and rich in humus. Heavy clay or sandy soils are not suitable.

The site is being dug up. Compost, lime, peat and sawdust are added to the soil.

Wells are being prepared. The distance between plants depends on the type of plant and ranges from 30 to 60 centimeters. Perennials can be planted separately from others.

When growing plants in pots, a bush with an earthen ball is transshipped. Peat pots can be planted without transshipment, immediately in them.

Summer care

Watering should be regular (once a week), the land should not dry out. Excess water can harm the plants, for this good drainage is provided. You need to water the bushes carefully, without touching the leaves of the plants.

During the summer, top dressing is applied 2 times. The first time is done after planting. The second time, fertilizers are applied in mid-August. For feeding, you need to take universal complex or phosphorus-potassium fertilizers for horticultural crops.

For perennial rose stock, compost and humus are added once a year at the rate of 3 kilograms per 1 square meter.

When the plants reach 1.5 meters, the stems need a garter. For support, wooden stakes are used, which are driven in at a short distance from the plant, so as not to damage the roots. For the garter, a soft natural rope and braid are taken.

Proper care allows you to grow amazingly beautiful plants.

Diseases and pests

The stem rose is susceptible to many diseases, these are:

• rust
• powdery mildew
• mosaic
• stem cancer
• rootworm nematode.

The reasons are excess moisture, cold summers, poor lighting.
When white or brown spots appear, the plants are treated with fungicides.

Most often, the stem of the rose is affected by rust. Light depressed spots appear on the surface of the leaves, red-brown spots, pads (pustules) below, after which they wither and fall off. The affected leaves are immediately removed, and the plants are sprayed with Abiga-Peak, Topaz, Bordeaux liquid.

For the next 2 years, if these diseases are affected, a rose cannot be planted in this place!

In addition to diseases, mallow can be affected by the invasion of aphids, spider mites, weevils and other leaf beetles.

Aphids attack flowers, buds and leaves. They curl, turn yellow, sticky secretions of insects are visible on the affected areas. Slightly affected areas are sprayed with soapy water. In case of severe damage, treatment with Tobacco Dust, Iskra, Aktara, Antitlin, Aktellik, Akarin, Fitoverm, Tanrek, Decis, Zubr, Komandor, Biotlin preparations is performed.

When a spider mite appears, it infects the leaves. They become covered with whitish spots. Then the spots become discolored and dry out. Small mites are located on the underside of foliage among very thin cobwebs. To combat the pest, a soap solution and mineral oil are used. In case of severe damage, the drugs Lightning, Akarin, Fitoferm, Vertimek are used.

How to collect your seeds

Fruits with seeds are harvested by hand after yellowing. Each capsule fruit contains 14-40 seeds. They can be harvested from mid-summer until the first frost. To obtain seeds from the bushes, the branches are cut and dried in the form of a bouquet. At the same time, the seeds ripen.
The germination capacity of the planting material lasts 3 years.

Growing in a two-year culture

Seeds of a rose stock are sown in open ground in May, early June or closer to autumn. The sowing site is pre-dug up. Grooves or holes are prepared. They are located at a distance of 35-40 centimeters from each other. The depth should be about 3 centimeters. 2-3 seeds go into the hole. From above, the seeds are sprinkled with earth, slightly pressed and watered from a watering can.

After 1.5-2.5 weeks, seedlings appear. When 2-3 main leaves appear on the sprouts, thinning is performed. 1 strongest sprout remains in the hole. In the grooves between the plants, a gap of 30-35 centimeters is left. Further care of the rose stem consists in timely watering, feeding, protection from pests and diseases, and weeding.

Transplanting mallow seedlings to a permanent place is carried out in late August - early September. The distance between plants should be 50 centimeters. Low stem rose varieties can be left in place. Tall plants are planted near hedges, pergolas, arbors, southern walls. Such a shelter will protect the stem of the rose from stem breakage in strong winds. Young bushes hibernate under spruce branches, a layer of dry foliage or mulch from humus, peat, sawdust.

In the first year, the flower forms a rosette of large leaves. In the summer of next year, a tall peduncle with a spike-shaped inflorescence of double, semi-double, simple flowers of different colors appears on the plant. Flowering lasts about a month.

Breeding a rose stock by dividing the bush and grafting is not used so often, since it requires special skills and gives a worse result when transplanting than seed propagation.

Stock rose - growing from seed, when to plant: video

Stock roses were very popular in the last century, they grew both in villages and in city courtyards, but gradually they began to be undeservedly forgotten. We used to call these tall beautiful flowers mallow, although in fact their scientific name is stock-rose. And they are called mallow because of their belonging to the mallow family, although it includes more than 80 plant species.

Thanks to the painstaking work of breeders in recent years, new varieties of stock roses began to appear, for example, the most spectacular terry "Royal" or "Summer Carnival" and gardeners began to assign pride of place for them in their dachas and flower beds.

The top photo shows a foreign stock-rose variety 'Peaches' 'n' Dreams.

The agrotechnology of growing stock-roses at home is very simple, caring for a flower does not require particularly sophisticated knowledge or "dancing with a tambourine", so even a novice florist can handle it.

Description

A charming "robber" - a modern variety Fiesta Time, attracts attention not only for its double-colored, but also for its unusual, "hooligan" shape of the petals.

The stock rose is a flowering plant with a height of 80 to 250 cm, and by this it conquers the title of the tallest flower. The peculiarity of the stock-rose is that the flowers grow not only on the tops of the stems - its entire stem is a spike-shaped inflorescence of 20-50 flowers on short pedicels. The diameter of the flower reaches 15 cm. The color of the petals comes in all imaginable shades, from dark purple to bright red or pure white.

Of the entire abundance of varieties according to the structure of flowers, the following varieties can be distinguished: terry, semi-double and simple... Flower beds look especially beautiful, where mallows of different heights and several colors are combined. Tall varieties with a large number of plants can create an artificial hedge or serve as a background for flower beds.

Stock rose can be grown as an annual, biennial and perennial plant... Those plantings that are abandoned by the owner and do not receive any care are able to renew by self-sowing and survive in rather difficult conditions, although they lose their splendor, especially when it comes to the F1 variety, which cannot be grown by self-sowing.

Reproduction

A rose-stock is planted most often immediately in open ground. But under conditions of a short summer or to obtain early flowering, it is preferable to grow it seedling method. The roots of young plants are very delicate, therefore, it is recommended to germinate seeds from early spring in peat pots, which are planted in a flower bed in May or June without damaging the roots.

Under normal conditions, seeds are sown directly to flower beds.... Planting dates depend on the conditions in the region - at the time of planting seeds must avoid the threat of all frost... For the middle lane, this is usually late May or early June... Gardeners say that plants planted with seeds grow stronger than plants grown through seedlings.

By the way, the seeds retain their germination capacity for up to three years.

Interesting! Our readers ask: "I bought a stock-rose root - what to do?" The roots of the stock-rose are usually not propagated, although the roots of biennial plants are indeed found on sale, however, not for cultivation, but for medicinal use. Adherents of traditional medicine prepare decoctions from dried roots that are useful for the stomach and intestines, for the respiratory and urinary system, for the throat and mouth.

The photo shows the same variety as above - Fiesta Time, but now the appearance of the plant as a whole.

Landing in open ground

An important condition for growing beautiful strong flowers is the right choice of a planting site and a suitable soil composition.

Plants of the malvaceous family love sunny places, their bright flowers look especially advantageous in well-lit areas of the garden or yard. Higher varieties are best planted on the leeward side of the fence or wall of the house, otherwise the wind will swing them strongly.

As mentioned above, the stem-rose stem root system does not like transplants, therefore you need to decide on the landing site right away... In the third year, the plants bloom weakly or die, therefore, after two years, the flower garden can be moved to a new place, simply by sowing new seeds there.

The soil in the flower garden set aside for planting a stock-rose should be light, well-drained and fertile... If the land is far from ideal, then when digging, humus and a little sand must be added to it.

In May or early June (depending on the region), a shallow groove is made in the dug and loosened earth, no more than 1-2 cm deep, seeds are placed in it at a distance of 45-60 cm from each other, sprinkled with soil and watered from a watering can. Sprouts appear in 8-10 days, sometimes later.

If the plants are planted with seedlings in peat cups or tablets, then the groove should be 1-2 cm deeper than their heightso that the ground completely covers the edges of the decaying containers.

When the top layer of soil dries up, it must be moistened with a watering can. In good conditions, no additional care is required for young shoots.

Care

Abandoned stock-rose plantings grow in one place as a result of self-seeding for decades, receiving neither fertilizers, nor additional irrigation, nor loosening and weeding. This speaks of her complete unpretentiousness. Nevertheless, for good flowering, it is necessary to follow some rules for caring for a stock-rose.

• If the landing site is windy, then young sprouts will need support for the first time... Even adult plants of tall varieties without a wall or hedge protecting from the wind need a garter, because they are also tempted by the weight of their own buds and flowers.
• If the land was depleted, then you need water the sprouts that have emerged from the ground with dissolved universal fertilizer marked "for flowering plants". Repeat the procedure twice a season, after which the soil is mulched.
• Weed weeding is also necessary for the stock rose.as for other plants in the garden. This is especially true of the time of emergence of sprouts, their rooting and strengthening - strong weeds easily drown out weak stock-rose seedlings.
• Watering is recommended in the evening, when the scorching sun weakens... In this case, the water will have time to penetrate to the roots, and not evaporate immediately.
• To prevent the appearance of a hard crust on the ground and to facilitate the flow of water to the roots, the soil in the flower garden needs loosen periodically.
• Adult plants - two years old or perennials do not need shelter for the winter, and young seedlings grown in greenhouse conditions and planted in flower beds in summer or closer to autumn, it is advisable to cover with autumn foliage, lutrasil or spruce branches.

How to grow a stock rose in one season

All flower growers want to plant their garden with flowering plants at once, and not wait several seasons. In the first year, perennial flowers have a green rosette of leaves, and only in the second year bright flowers bloom. In the case of stock rose, rapid flowering can be achieved with the right variety.

Seedlings in the photo are 6-8 weeks old.

Annual plants bloom immediately in the year of planting, most often in July and delight with their beauty until late autumn. Early planting of seeds for seedlings helps to achieve this, already in February-early March, it is best to use large tablets or glasses made of peatbut. This will allow in May to plant grown sprouts with an intact strong root system on the flower beds, and the stock-rose will present its colors by the middle of summer.

Diseases and pests

The most common stock-rose disease is rust, which appears with an excess of moisture: in wet weather, in lowland plantings. Fungicides or transplanting young plants to more suitable conditions can help get rid of whitish and brown rust spots, while the affected leaves and heavily infested plants should be burned.

Mosaic virus and powdery mildew also appear due to improper plant care or bad weather conditions. To prevent diseases, the stock-rose is sprayed with Bordeaux mixture in early spring and at the bud stage.

From pests, the stem-rose can precipitate spider mites, leaf beetles, aphids, weevils... To combat them, acaricidal and insecticidal preparations are used, from folk remedies - laundry soap, ash, tobacco dust.

Fashionable varieties

All gardeners call the most beautiful stock-rose varieties those that belong to the terry varieties.

Stock-rose "Royal" grown as an annual. The height of the trunk is only 50 cm, the diameter of the flowers is up to 9 cm. The insignificant size of double flowers surpasses any high varieties in their beauty, and bright delicate inflorescences are good even when cut. It blooms from July to September. In a vase of water, its opening buds delight the eye for a long time. Withering flowers are promptly removed.

Gorgeous stock-rose variety "Summer Carnival"is also very attractive, reaches a height of 1.5 m. Its flowers are much larger, up to 15 cm in diameter, there are pink, red, yellow and white colors. It is grown as a biennial plant. Flowering begins in July. It is also suitable for cutting, and inflorescences with buds that have just begun to bloom will look more spectacular.

All the nuances of growing

We will tell you more about the stock rose, growing it from seeds, when to plant these beautiful flowers.

Stockrose - beautiful mallow

Stockrose, or mallow, is a beautiful unpretentious plant, among the people it was still lovingly called mallow and kalachik. The variety of varieties is explained by the fact that numerous species are constantly interbreeding with each other. The plant has a high stem, reaching from 30 cm to 2.5 meters.At first he is pubescent, then he becomes naked. The leaves are the stem of the rose, round-cordate, pubescent.

Growing stockrose from seeds

When growing a rose stock, planting by seeds is possible in two ways:

1. The seeds of annual plants are planted in greenhouses, greenhouses or pots for seedlings. Then the seedlings are transferred to a permanent place. In the same year, the plant produces beautiful flowers.
2. Seeds of perennials and biennials can be planted directly in open ground. But the rose will be able to pamper with beautiful flowers only after a season.

Preparation of planting material

It is necessary to take the seeds and immerse them in warm water for 12 hours to improve germination. They do this to moisten the seeds so that they have better germination.

Planting seeds in open ground

Seeds of biennial varieties of this plant are sown in open ground in spring (May-June). It is necessary to prepare a piece of land, dig it up, make holes or grooves at a distance of about 38 cm from each other. 2-3 seeds are placed in each hole to a depth of about 3 centimeters. The seeds are sprinkled with earth, nestled, watered with water from a watering can.

Seedlings will appear in two weeks. When 2-3 leaves appear, thinning is performed, leaving the strongest sprout. There should be a gap of 30 cm between the plants. Care consists in feeding, weeding and protecting from pests.Watering should be sufficient.

Transplanting seedlings

In early September, the resulting seedlings need to be transplanted. Tall sprouts must be transplanted closer to the hedge, fence, gazebos. Small shoots can be left in place. The distance between the plants of 50 cm should be observed. In order for the plant to overwinter easily, young bushes are covered with a layer of dry foliage, spruce branches. Mulch with peat, humus, sawdust.

In the first year of life, the stockrose forms a rosette of leaves. The next year, the plant produces a tall peduncle with an inflorescence. The rose will bloom for about a month.

Growing from seeds is the best breeding option for the species. Cutting and dividing the bush are rarely used, since they give a poor result.

Planting seeds for seedlings

For seedlings, stockrose seeds should be planted in March and early April. If you have to plant in greenhouses, you need to plant earlier - in February or early March. The seeds are prepared in the traditional way, soaking in warm water for 12 hours.

For planting, it is better to use separate pots, cups or containers, rather than shared boxes, since replanting from them can harm the plant. The root of the plant is rod-shaped, it will be more convenient for it to grow in a separate container, which is filled with nutritious soil from compost, peat, sawdust, turf, sand. The soil is moistened, the seeds are sown, sprinkled with soil with a layer of 1 cm.Cover with a film on top to create a greenhouse effect inside.

Seedlings should appear in about 2 weeks. Thinning is carried out when the main leaves appear. Leave a distance of at least 3 cm between the plants.

Seedling care

Seedlings must be regularly aired for hardening and watered. After the shoots have appeared, you need to remove the film. The film is removed gradually so that the plant gets used to it.

If the sprouts are very pale in color and stretch upward, there may not be enough sun. A phytolamp will help provide them with additional light. As soon as three leaves appear, hardening must be carried out. The room is ventilated, then the pots with seedlings are placed on the veranda or balcony for a couple of hours.

It is not advisable to pick the stockrose. If necessary, the transplant is carried out with the ground without damaging the roots.

Planting seedlings in open ground

In May, seedlings can be planted in a flower bed. Spring frosts have already passed, and the plant will get stronger enough. You need to plant in a sunny place. Planting is carried out in well-drained soil, to which a lot of humus has been added.

Plants are planted at a distance of up to 60 centimeters. When using peat pots, the seedlings are planted without transshipment, placing them in the ground. When disembarking from a pot, transshipment with land is used. Once a week, plants should be watered without touching the leaves. Drying of the soil and its excessive moisture should not be allowed.

Twice a summer, top dressing is applied with universal complex fertilizers for horticultural crops. A perennial rose needs humus and compost once a year. Tall plants must be tied to supports. For support, use the material at hand and a natural rope. For the prevention and treatment of diseases and pests, spraying with Bordeaux liquid, fungicides is used.

The stock rose is mainly grown in backyard flower beds. Many growers prefer this rose, as it is completely unpretentious and very beautiful. The stock rose or mallow, as it is also called, belongs to the mallow family.

People call it a kalachik or mallow. This plant has more than seventy species. Mainly grown stem rose in Europe, North America, Asia and North Africa. Breeders have bred a lot of different varieties and hybrids of the plant, this is done by crossing different species.

Mallow is a completely unpretentious plant, it tolerates dry periods well and does not particularly suffer from wetlands. In order for the plant to sprout better and bloom early, it must be grown using seedlings.

Annuals should be sown in greenhouses, greenhouses, or pots. After the plant gets a little stronger and grows up, it must be planted in open ground. Perennial and biennial plants are immediately planted in a greenhouse or in open ground.

Seed preparation for planting and growing

It is very good to grow a plant with seeds from two years ago.

In order for the seeds to germinate better, they must be pre-treated before planting. For this, planting material needs pour warm water at twelve o'clock. In this case, the seeds will absorb moisture and, as a result, germinate faster.

Sowing seeds for growing

When sowing, it is necessary to take into account that the roots of the rose have a rod-like shape in the stem. Based on this, transplanting from a common container can be very harmful to the roots of the plant, so the seeds must be sown in separate glasses, containers or pots.

The pots should be filled with soil made from compost, peat, turf, sawdust and sand. In the prepared soil, the seeds must be sown in rows or laid out with tweezers, after sowing they must be sprinkled with a thin layer of earth. After that cups with seeds you need to cover with foil and monitor the temperature. Inside the greenhouse, it should not exceed twenty degrees, otherwise it will greatly harm the sown seeds.

If the temperature regime is correctly observed, the seeds will sprout in about two weeks. The space between the planted plants should be at least three centimeters.

Transplanting seedlings into open ground

Rose seedlings are planted on the flower bed in May. By this time, the sown plants will get stronger and undergo spring frosts. The place for planting seedlings should be closed from drafts and wind and it should be open to sunlight.

If the plant is planted in partial shade, then it does not grow to the required size, the flowers become dim and pale. The soil for planting seedlings should be fertile, contain a lot of humus, be light and well-drained. Clayy and sandy soil is not suitable for rose stock.

After the soil, holes are prepared for planting. The distance between plants should not be less than thirty centimeters. Perennials can be planted separately from others.

Plant care in summer

Water the planted plant regularly, at least once a week. So that the water does not stagnate, it is necessary to provide the necessary drainage, otherwise the plant will suffer. When watering, do not touch the rose leaves.

It is necessary to feed the rose twice, this must be done in the summer. The first feeding should be applied immediately after landing, the second - in the middle of August. For feeding mallow, complex universal or potassium phosphate fertilizers are suitable.

For perennial plants, add humus and compost once a year.

When the plant reaches one and a half meters in height, it must be tied up. For support, wooden mines are suitable, and for a garter - a soft braid or rope.

Diseases and pests rose stock

Mallow is exposed to many diseases and pests, namely:

• Rust.
• Mosaic.
• Powdery mildew.
• Stalk cancer.
• Gall nematode.

The causes of these diseases are excess moisture or lack of light, and cold summers can also be the cause. If white or brown spots appear on the plant, then it must be treated with fungicides.

Very often the rose is damaged by rust. At the same time, light spots and red-brown as a result of the emergence such spots, the leaves of the plant wither and fall off. Leaves affected by rust must be removed immediately, and the plant must be treated with such preparations as: Abiga-Peak, Topaz, Bordeaux liquid.

And also mallow often affects aphids, first of all, the buds, flowers and leaves of the plant suffer from it. In case of very severe damage to aphids, the stem of the rose must be treated with the following preparations: Tobacco dust, Spark, Aktara, Antitlin, Aktellik, Akarin, Fitoverm, Tanrek, Decis, Bison, Komandor, Biotlin.

> The spider mite infects the leaves of the plant. When damaged, they become covered with white spots. To combat spider mites, you need to use mineral oil or soapy water.
