Growing a curb rose in the garden

If you want to enjoy a picturesque landscape of border roses in your garden, then you should carefully study the technology of growing this plant. This flower is famous for its unpretentiousness both in cultivation and in care. But some points are fundamental, without which successful cultivation can be threatened.

Stage 1. Choosing a landing site

The main requirement of the border rose for the planting site will be the absence of sharp drafts and wind. Strong winds will prevent the soil from retaining sufficient moisture. Since the curb rose is a rather compact plant that occupies a small area, this is very important for it. The second condition for the rose will be sufficient illumination of the future growth site. Lack of sunlight can negatively affect the growth of the rose and negatively affect its decorative effect. If you have grown other roses for a long time in some place, then this is also not the best place for planting border roses. Experienced gardeners are of the opinion that the soil is capable of "accumulating fatigue" from Rosaceae. Try to take this fact into account when choosing a place for planting a curb rose. So, the main criteria in choosing a place for planting a curb rose are:

• - lack of strong winds;
• - good illumination;
• - previous plants that grew in this area should not be rosaceous.

Stage 2. Choosing the soil for planting

If you are worried that the curb rose will not take root on your site due to the quality of the soil, then your worries are in vain. This type of rose is surprisingly unpretentious to the soil. The soil must meet the following minimum requirements:

• - the soil should not be waterlogged;
• - the soil should not be too dense and heavy;
• - the soil should not be overdried.

Before planting, you will still apply certain additives or fertilizers to the ground, which will finally provide the rose with comfortable conditions for growth.

Stage 3. Choosing the time for planting

Although border roses have good winter-hardy qualities, it is recommended to plant in spring. Choose a time when the threat of severe frosts has passed, the soil warms up enough, and then you can start planting. It is the spring planting that will allow the rose to take root well, adapt to a new place and endure the winter well.

Stage 4. Technology of the planting process

Planting a curb rose has a simple technology:

• - it is necessary to dig a planting hole.Its size depends on the size of the rose itself. But the hole should always be slightly larger than the root system so that the roots lie there freely;
• - to fill the planting pit, you can purchase ready-made soil for roses;
• - place the rose in the hole in such a way that the root collar deepens by 3-4 cm;
• - spread the roots and start filling the hole, slightly compacting the soil;
• - after planting, be sure to water the young plant.

In the first time after planting, young bushes can be covered to protect them from possible spring frosts.

• - timely removal of weeds around the bush. Weeding will not only make the appearance of the rose more well-groomed, but also protect it from possible pests or diseases. Some weeds are very often disease carriers;

Top dressing of a curb rose

Like any ornamental plant, the curb rose actively responds to fertilizing. The amount of dressings depends on the dryness of the summer season. If the summer is very hot and dry, then the amount of dressings should be reduced. If the summer is wet, then feeding can be safely increased. Every gardener who has been involved in growing curb roses more than once has his own system of rose dressing. Beginners in this business can rely on the following approximate feeding scheme:

The seed method of growing border roses is considered to be rarely used. This process requires a lot of effort and patience. But what could be more beautiful than watching the appearance of such a regal flower from a small seed. When buying seeds, pay attention to their expiration date. It is better to make such purchases in specialized stores. Carefully read all the information on the seed label: color, flowering time, height, etc. If you decide to try this method in practice, then adhere to the following recommendations:

You can adhere to the following recommendations for keeping roses at home:

• - if you buy a border rose in a store, it is better to do it in early autumn or spring. So, the rose will have time to get used to the new temperature conditions. Roses for sale are grown under special conditions. Namely, in greenhouses, where the optimum temperature is maintained at 18 degrees. If you buy a rose in winter, it will be difficult for it to immediately acclimatize to the climate of the apartment during the heating season;
• - a glazed balcony will be the most optimal place for a rose for the first time. The flower will get stronger, and then you can transfer it to the apartment. Of course, batteries and other heating devices should not be in the immediate vicinity of the rose;
• - the rose transplant must be postponed. When the rose is well acclimatized, you can transplant it into a larger pot;
• - soil moisture for indoor curb rose is very important. It should not be allowed to dry out as well as waterlogging;
• - with the beginning of spring, you can take a room rose to the balcony, even transplant it into containers on the balcony. The flower will harden perfectly;

Seed propagation

This is a very long and difficult procedure with a low probability of growing a healthy rose. When choosing seeds, pay attention to the shelf life and tightness of the package.

It is better to start the procedure in the fall, so that by the summer the seedling can gain strength. The seeds are soaked in warm water for a week, after which they are sown in a prepared container with a special soil for roses, covered with polyethylene or glass. Seeds take a long time to germinate, so be patient. Seedlings that have reached 7-8 cm are transplanted into pots or a deeper container. Planted in open ground from late May to late July.

Top dressing for border roses is carried out 3 to 6 times. The main 3 dressings are carried out:

1. When the buds on the branches of a rose wake up in spring, nitrogen fertilizers are used;
2. During flowering, phosphorus-potassium fertilizers are applied under the bush;
3. In the fall, before wintering, phosphorus fertilizers and limestone are applied.

Plants are pruned with a sterile and sharp knife. In the fall, the buds and new shoots are cut, in the spring and summer, formative pruning is carried out and dry, yellowed, weak, or branches damaged by diseases and pests are removed.

Regardless of the variety, all roses must be covered for the winter, since climatic conditions are sometimes unpredictable. They cover with sawdust, dry branches, grass, foliage, spruce branches, or make a shelter from a mixture of peat and sand (1: 1).

Landing technology

Planting a miniature curb rose is not too difficult a process, but all conditions must be met:

• it is impossible to plant in areas where rose bushes have been grown for a long time;
• the landing area should be well lit and not subject to the negative effects of strong winds;
• the most suitable time for planting a curb rose is the beginning of spring, which will allow the plants to take root well and easily endure winter frosts;
• the size of the planting pit should slightly exceed the diameter of the root system of the planted plant;
• a nutritious soil mixture with the addition of organic fertilizers should be poured at the bottom of the planting pit;
• during planting, it is necessary to carefully spread the root system of the rose, as well as deepen the root collar of the plant by about 3-4 cm.

After planting, the soil should be carefully compacted, as well as abundant watering of the ornamental plant.

Breeding rules

Reproduction of border species is the same as in the cultivation of other varieties of roses. In the summer, a sufficient number of shoots are formed on the rose bushes, which must be cut into cuttings with a pair of buds, after which about 50% of the foliage should be removed from them. Before planting, the cuttings should be treated with a rooting stimulant.

Planting of cuttings is carried out with a slight slope and a distance of 20-30 cm. After planting, abundant watering should be carried out and the planting should be covered with polyethylene. After about a month and a half, the rooted cuttings can be transplanted to a permanent place.

Care features

Despite the absolute unpretentiousness of the plants, when growing border roses, you should adhere to the following care recommendations:

• the key to proper care is proper pruning of rose bushes, which consists in the regular removal of all dry and damaged shoots, as well as the formation of the most attractive and decorative aboveground part;
• roses should be cut with an exceptionally clean and sharp garden tool, which will prevent decay and damage to the bacterial microflora of the cut areas;
• it is necessary to regularly inspect the bushes for the presence of plant parasites or disease;
• in the spring, and, if necessary, throughout the entire growing season, rose bushes are treated with preventive and therapeutic insectofungicidal preparations of prolonged action;
• border roses need systematic, but not too abundant irrigation measures;
• for irrigation, use settled water heated in the sun;
• rose watering is carried out in the evening hours, strictly under the root, preventing water from entering the aboveground part of the decorative culture;

• for feeding several times per season, you need to use special fertilizer complexes intended for roses or other flowering ornamental crops;
• a good result is achieved with the autumn and early spring composting, which is recommended to be laid out around the ornamental crop at the rate of 5-6 kg for each square meter of the flower garden.

Even frost-resistant varieties, when grown in regions with unfavorable soil and climatic conditions, need shelter for the winter period. It is best to use spruce branches or special covering garden materials for this purpose.

Border roses in landscape design

Miniature border roses are used to decorate home gardens. These very exquisite, bright, but compact enough flowers are able to perfectly combine with different garden crops. Flower beds with border roses can be of any design and shape.

It is impossible to convey in words those feelings and emotions that appear at the sight of these amazing flowers. Correctly carried out planting of a curb rose and subsequent high-quality care will allow you to enjoy its delicate aroma and fragrant appearance in the garden for a long time.

Features of border roses

Border roses are medium and low-growing bush varieties, differing from the usual roses in height, petals, and multiple abundant flowering. Its bushes do not exceed 60 cm. They are compact, do not take up much space, and their plantings beautifully frame the plot with a picturesque border. Growing roses in the garden gives it a unique and sophisticated look.

Rose petals have a double base. The variety of colors is striking. These can be buds of one color, or combining two. There are varieties that change color during the season. So, in the “masquerade” variety, the color from bright yellow gradually turns into pink, and in the fall it becomes dark crimson.

Border roses are considered an unpretentious crop to grow, easily tolerate a transplant, quickly take root, withstand frosts.

Miniature roses are prized by designers and landscape architects. They use them to decorate streets, parks, city sites, recreation areas, "dry streams". Flowers go well with many garden plants. One of their features is that they grow beautifully both in the garden and on the windowsill in a pot.

How to plant?

Planting a curb rose is a simple process, but the gardener needs to know a few important points.

• Seat selection

Landing should take place in an area protected from gusts of wind. In this case, there should be enough sunlight. A strong wind will take moisture from the crop, and its lack will affect growth and flowering. This condition is also important for roses growing in pots. The effect of the wind is enhanced, since the roots have a limited area of ​​soil, from which they could make up for the lack of moisture.

You can not plant it on a site where other representatives of the Rosaceae family grew for a long time. The effect of "soil fatigue from roses" arises when it is greatly depleted by these plants and spores of fungal diseases, viruses and pests can be found in it.

• Soil for planting

Miniature beauties are undemanding to the composition of the soil. They grow on any soil, as long as it is not too dry, dense and waterlogged. Before planting, it is recommended to improve the soil by mixing it with drainage or organic fertilizers.

• When to plant

The best time is the beginning of spring, when the soil warms up a little. Such an early planting period makes it possible to develop well during the season, take root roots and then easily endure the winter.

Advice

While the plant takes root in a new place, it is better to cover its young bushes at night. This will protect fragile and weakened bushes from night frosts.

• How to plant

Planting is carried out in a hole, the size of which should slightly exceed the diameter of the planted root system. When planting, the roots are gently straightened, their neck is buried into the soil by only 3-5 cm.

The optimum distance between seedlings is 25-30 cm. After planting, the soil around the bush is carefully compacted and watered abundantly.

How should you care for a flower garden?

Caring for a curb rose will not cause difficulties even for those who are engaged in its cultivation for the first time. If the basic requirements for pruning, watering, feeding are met, the plant will thank you with good growth and lush flowering.

Watering

Miniature roses need regular, but not abundant irrigation. Drying and waterlogging of the earth must not be allowed. Watering is best done in the evening using sun-warmed and settled water.

Advice

Do not allow water to enter the aerial part of the plant. It should be watered at the root!

Top dressing

Growing roses is not complete without feeding.It is necessary to feed miniature plants several times. To do this, you must use fertilizers designed specifically for Rosaceae or other ornamental flowering plants. You can use organic matter: horse manure. It mixes with the soil and fits under the bushes. It is not necessary to use other manure, as the roots may burn.

Spring and autumn composting works well on miniature roses. It is laid out under the bushes at the rate of 5-6 kg per m2.

When the first buds form, the plant can be fed with calcium nitrate (1 tablespoon per bucket of water). This fertilizer has its own peculiarities of use:

• before feeding, the roses should be well watered so as not to burn them;
• after feeding - water again;
• the time of the procedure is in the morning or in the evening (when the heat subsides).

Additionally, every 15-20 days, you can feed it with mullein, mineral fertilizers or herbal infusions. Liming is necessary in September.

Advice

In hot, dry summers, top dressing is rare, in rainy summers - frequent and abundant. Young plants in the 1st year after planting are fed only in spring and autumn.

Leaving on hot days

Miniature roses do not tolerate rainy and very hot weather. It causes stress in them. During this period, reanimation agents will help to "cheer up" the plants: "Zircon", "Epin", "Ecosil", potassium humate.

It is important to protect the culture from overheating. A rise in temperature above 25 ºC leads to overheating of the roots and deterioration of the condition of the roses. Peat and hay laid under the bushes will help to cool them a little.

Pruning

Leaving includes another important point - competent pruning. It consists in removing damaged and dry shoots, in the formation of a beautiful and correct aerial part.

Advice

To prevent decay and rapid damage to cut diseases, a clean and sharp pruner should be used when cutting.

Pruning is done 5-8 mm higher from the healthy kidney. This procedure can be carried out all season. In the last pruning, extended new shoots and buds are shortened.

If the shoot is damaged, it is cut from above between 2-3 leaves. It is important to cut wild growth from grafted roses. Eliminating the "wild" above ground level will not give any result - it will grow again. Correct pruning is the removal of wild shoots from the very base (from the root collar).

In order for the bushes to grow proportionally, in the 1st year of their life, it is necessary to pinch all the shoots that appear after 4 and 5 leaves, remove the buds. In "old" bushes, the central shoots growing vertically are not trimmed, only the lateral ones are trimmed a little.

Preparing for winter

Despite the fact that many varieties of border roses can withstand frost, they must be insulated for the winter. But first, all shoots and fallen leaves are removed. The first night frosts are a signal for the start of insulation. The sequence is as follows:

• to spud the plant, and the height of the embankment should not be less than 20 cm;
• put spruce or pine branches around;
• on them, gently pressing against the soil, lay the shoots;
• cover with dry leaves or spruce branches on top.

Many gardeners make a frame for insulating roses and cover it with a moisture-repellent material (roofing felt, insulating paper) folded in several layers. A plastic wrap is additionally laid on top. As soon as the thaw begins in spring, flowers can be opened slightly.

Diseases and pests

Any plants, including the curb rose, can be attacked by insects and get sick.

Neighborhood with many species of plants can prevent the appearance of insect pests. If roses are planted next to marigolds, sage or onions, they will never have caterpillars, aphids, sawflies, spider mites.

In order to prevent and with a single lesion, rose bushes can be sprayed with infusions of onions, yarrow, garlic, calendula, and sprinkle the ground around them with ash.If pests nevertheless appeared en masse, you should not immediately run for chemicals. Try natural, less harsh remedies first.

Dissolve laundry soap in 10 liters of hot water and add a few branches of wormwood, mix, boil for 15 minutes. After the solution has cooled, mix everything again, strain and spray the bushes.

If after treatment the pests have not died, re-spraying can be repeated after 5-7 days.

When natural remedies fail and insects are spreading, insecticides can be used:

• against spider mites - "Sunmight";
• against aphids, caterpillars and sawfly - "Mospilan", BI-58, "Aktofit", "Aktara".

Miniature roses are highly susceptible to diseases:

• powdery mildew;
• black spot;
• rust;
• alteriosis.

It is easy to prevent their appearance. It is enough to spray the culture with solutions of copper sulfate (3%), DNOC (1-3%) or nitrophenol (2%) before sheltering the culture for the winter and after opening.

If an infection has occurred, then the following means are used in the treatment.

• Water-soluble sulfur (1%), Bordeaux mixture (1%) are effective against powdery mildew.
• Copper oxychloride (0.2%), Bordeaux (1%) mixture will help get rid of black spot.
• Rust can be cured with water-soluble sulfur (1%) and copper oxychloride (0.2%).
• Spraying with foundation (0.2%) or copper oxychloride (0.4%) will help to cure an infectious leaf burn.

Some fungal diseases (for example, powdery mildew) appear if care and planting conditions have been violated: bushes are planted close to each other, abundant watering.

When caring for a plant, it is important to regularly examine each one, pick off “suspicious” leaves and burn them, cut off dry branches in a timely manner so that diseases or pests from one infected plant do not pass to neighboring ones.

Advice

Treatment brings a quick and effective result if it was started at an early stage of the disease, when the lesion was single.

How curb roses reproduce

Miniature beauties reproduce in 3 ways:

1. cuttings;
2. dividing the bush (seedlings);
3. seeds.

Propagation by cuttings

It is considered the easiest way. From May to July, semi-lignified shoots can be cut off, divided into parts so that 2-3 buds remain on each of them. All the leaves on them are shortened by half.

Each shoot is planted only after 3-4 hours of keeping them in a root-forming solution. The distance between them when planting is 30-35 cm. Then each shoot is watered abundantly and covered with a container (glass jar, large plastic bottle). They stay in such a "greenhouse" for about a month and a half. All this time it is necessary to water them regularly. Once the shoots have developed roots, they can be dug up and transplanted to a new location in the garden.

Propagation by seedlings

This method is applicable in the fall or spring before bud break. It is very easy to divide an adult bush. It is dug up and neatly cut into pieces. The main thing to consider is that each part must have a shoot and roots. Then all the shoots obtained by dividing are planted in the garden.

Seed propagation

Florists very rarely resort to the propagation of a border rose by seeds, since this is a long and troublesome process.

All harvested (purchased) seeds are germinated for 2 weeks at a temperature of +20 ° C before planting. They can be sown in a container with fertile light soil in late autumn. Seeds are planted 0.5 cm deep. Throughout the winter, it is important to maintain a temperature for them from +3 to +5 ° C. In late spring or early summer, the seeds will begin to sprout.

When buying seeds, the main thing is not to make mistakes. You need to pay attention to the following factors.

1. Shelf life. Expired seeds may not fully germinate or not germinate at all.
2. The color of the purchased variety. Selected miniature roses should be combined with plants already growing in the garden, match them in color.
3. Longitude of flowering.It is different for all varieties: some have early, others late flowering. It will be nice if the selected variety of roses complements the overall flowering of the plants.
4. Planting requirements and care. To get active growth and flowering, you need to know the basic rules for growing the purchased variety.
5. Landing time. This is also important, since many species are grown indoors for some time before being planted outdoors.

Advice

It is necessary to buy seeds only in a specialized store or point of sale, so that it does not turn out that rose hips will grow instead of roses.

No need to regret the time spent growing a rose in the garden. Miniature plants, in response to the care and maintenance of them, will delight everyone with their long and lush flowering.

If you decide to plant roses at home, then you will not need to insulate them. It is enough just to water and spray the plant from a spray bottle on time.

The curb rose is propagated by both seeds and cuttings. If you are an experienced gardener, then you can work hard with the seeds, and if you are a beginner, it is better to buy a cutting and plant.

Curb rose: reproduction and care

For breeding, it is very important to choose a flower bed that is well lit by sunlight. The curb rose loves sunbathing all day long. Also, the saturation of the color of the flower depends on the sun. But with all this, the landing site must be protected from strong winds. It is worth saying that curb roses do not withstand dampness and may deteriorate when planted.

But if you have a poorly lit flower bed, and you really want to plant a border rose, then you will have to work on lighting the flower bed. There are many ways to do this now.

When planting, you must take into account the time of year. It is better to plant roses in early spring so that their root system develops well and gets stronger in the ground. If conditions permit, you can plant it in the fall, and in the spring you can transplant already gorgeous rose bushes.

Do not forget about the elementary loosening of the soil. The curb rose, like other plants, loves him very much.

After planting, it is advisable to organize greenhouse conditions for the rose in order to protect the rose from temporary frosts.

How to insulate a curb rose when planting?

Since the rose is a small plant, insulating it will not be as difficult. When planting for the first time, it is covered with a cut bottle or jar. If you have a greenhouse on the site, then plant a rose there so that it grows stronger and does not freeze.

Just don't forget about watering and caring for it. By the way, an excessive change in weather can affect the cutting not for the better.

Curb roses: care

Rose bushes should look neat and lush, for which it is necessary to prune the plant in time and remove old stems. In this case, after winter, you need to prune the tops of the plant for splendor and growth.

Many rose breeders believe that organic and mineral supplements are essential for flowers. With proper care, you will notice several flowering phases until the most resistant frost, so you need to fertilize several times a year.

Do not forget that any plants, including roses, can get sick or meet pests. And this is also a reason to rid the flowers of these unpleasant ailments by feeding. Also, the proximity to other plants will help to repel pests or diseases.

Time to feed

• The first feeding is carried out in the spring with fertilizer to strengthen and protect against frost.
• The second is two weeks after the first.
• The third is in mid-June.
• The fourth is in July.
• The fifth is in August.
• The sixth is in mid-September.
• At the end of September, we carry out liming.

All dressings are carried out in turn: first with organic, and then with mineral fertilizers. They can be either purchased or homemade, which everyone has become accustomed to using for a long time. They have long established themselves on the positive side. It is only important to correctly calculate the dose of feeding.

Preparing roses for wintering

Now you need to insulate the roses. Preparation for winter begins with laying spruce branches between the leaves and warming with foil. In this state, roses remain until the beginning of the warming, until about April. With the onset of warmth, they are ventilated, and after the soil freezes, the film is removed and the spruce branches are removed.

You can also spud roses before wintering. And good, but moderate watering after wintering is required.

To-do list after winter

1. Shelter cleaning.
2. Pruning roses.
3. Protection from pests by neighboring plants.
4. Regular watering of roses.
5. Fertilizing roses.
6. Correct cuttings and propagation of roses.
7. Proper care at all times.
8. Monthly loosening of the soil.

Propagation by cuttings

Reproduction begins in May and continues through June. Roses form shoots with young buds, which must be cut in half to obtain 2-3 buds.

Before planting the cuttings, you need to soak the buds in root growth solutions. Now there are a lot of them on sale. You can also use folk methods. For example, use a weak manganese solution. To do this, prepare a solution, put the kidneys in a glass and observe. Roots will begin to grow in two days.

Then, border roses are planted in a hole, preferably fertilized with sand and humus, under a slight slope. The distance between the flowers should be at least 18–32 cm. When planting, the remaining leaves fall off over time, and new ones grow in their place.

If you come across a stalk with a bud, then you need to pinch it, since the bud will take all the strength from the bud and will not allow the root to grow.

Also, young bushes are watered and covered with a cut bottle to arrange greenhouse conditions.

Two months after planting, you can dig up a sprouted rose bush and plant it in a permanent place.In this case, you should actively water and spray the plant, which will improve the quality and habituation of the flower in the soil.

What to look for when buying seeds

1. When buying seeds, the main thing is not to make a mistake. You need to look very closely at the expiration date. Buy seeds that are not expired because they may be empty.
2. Pay attention to the color of the rose: whether it will suit your flower bed or alpine slide, what shade you combine with other plants, whether it will not look ugly against the background of other roses.
3. It is worth carefully studying the longitude of flowering, because it is diverse on different varieties. You should also know early flowering or late.
4. You should definitely study the planting and grooming requirements, as they may differ in some way. And this must be taken into account immediately, so that later there will be no oversights.
5. Buy seeds in specialized stores so that later it turns out that instead of beautiful, shaggy border roses, you got a rose hip. In them, such an oversight is not allowed.
6. The planting time is also worth considering, as it may require a special growing area, light and humidity.

There are many factors to consider when planting. You need to germinate the seeds, plant them as seedlings in pots and then wait for the shoots to germinate, and then carry out the usual transplanting.

Roses border varieties are very diverse. Let's take a look at some of them.

Garnet bracelet
