Rules for placement in the garden

Flower sizes and shapes may vary, but the botanical features of all varieties are similar. Any roses for normal development and abundant flowering need a sufficient amount of heat, water, light, air and proper nutrition in a timely manner:

• in shaded areas, ornamental culture is susceptible to disease and is characterized by poor flowering;
• the optimal area is well illuminated by the sun's rays in half the day;
• prolonged exposure to direct sunlight negatively affects dark-colored, red-flowered varieties of roses, which in this case can fade and quickly fade;

• rose bushes should be protected from strong and gusty winds;
• optimal temperature indicators of the air should vary within 15-22 ° С.
• a comfortable soil temperature of 17-20 ° C allows the plant's root system to absorb nutrients from the soil, and if it is too cold, the plant loses this ability;
• it is impossible for planting and growing roses to allot areas in wetlands and with a high occurrence of groundwater;
• planting pits must be prepared at least three weeks before planting ornamental crop seedlings;
• it is advisable to supplement the planting pits with high-quality drainage from crushed stone, coarse sand and gravel chips.

It is very important to properly cultivate the soil. In loamy, medium loamy or clayey soil, you need to add river sand, humus and manure. Heavy soil requires the addition of peat, ash, sand, compost, lime, rotted chicken or rabbit droppings. Light sandy soil should be improved with compost with peat, manure, weathered clay and turf soil.

Fresh and undecomposed manure must not be used to improve the soil. Most of all, a slightly acidic or neutral soil is suitable for growing a rose, and to reduce acidity, you need to add wood ash, bone or dolomite flour, as well as limestone. To increase acidity, sour peat is used, as well as plant humus with the addition of superphosphate.

No less popular in our country, especially in the Crimea, the old variety "Artek", obtained by N.D. Kostetsky back in 1939. This variety is still widely used in group plantings, as single specimens against the background of lawns, and is also grown as a standard crop and for cutting.

Miniature roses are used very widely in the design of borders, flower beds, rock gardens and balconies. American Miniature Rose varieties "RubyRuby"can be used as container culture.

Causes of reddening of rose leaves

To understand why the leaves turned red on rose bushes, you need to know that there are several reasons for this phenomenon, but most often they are natural for ornamental culture. If the leaves turn red, but the plant looks healthy, has glossy, intact leaves, then the reason for the red coloration is most often associated with the presence of anthocyanin pigment in the foliage and shoots.

Roses of David Austin: description (video)

It should be remembered that dark-colored roses contain and accumulate a significant amount of anthocyanin, which causes darkening of foliage and shoots.

Flower lovers (and we are among them) are worried: how are our roses in the country? This year's winter is classically abnormal. In many regions there was no snow for a long time, although there were no severe frosts. Then it got colder. Then snow fell, and more than necessary. Now here is the dancing temperature, streams are flowing. Then frost will hit again and everything will be covered with a layer of ice ... Poor plants!

How they will survive the next bad weather, we will find out in the spring. But so that every winter I study the weather forecast not to clutch at my heart, heed the advice of a specialist.

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

1. Excellent health. This is one of the main qualities, since a sick rose does not just spoil the appearance of the flower garden, it also hibernates badly. Or even dies. After all, the affected leaves fall off ahead of time, and the plant simply does not have time to ripen.

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

3. Abundant and long flowering. There are no such roses in nature to bloom without interruption all summer, but these varieties will inflate as long as possible.

4. Resistance of flowers to bad weather. They are not afraid of rains, moisture and heat - in any case, they retain their decorative effect.

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

So, roses that won't let you down.

Hybrid tea

Gloria deiMeilland, 1945 This unsurpassed masterpiece is called the number 1 rose in the world. She is really magnificent: her flowers are large, yellow with tints and pink edging of the petals.

The only drawback is that each flower lasts only 3 days.

Ingrid bergmanOlesen, 1984 Gorgeous, dark red, with almost black buds - this is without exaggeration the best red variety for the middle strip. Perfect and inimitable. The bush grows quickly, the flowers last up to 2 weeks and are not at all afraid of rains.

AphroditeTantau, 2006 No wonder this rose was named after the goddess of love and beauty - she is the embodiment of beauty! Her flowers are 10–12 cm in diameter, porcelain-pink in color. They tolerate rain well. The bush is low, up to 80 cm.

Hommage a barbaraDelbard, 1997 Perhaps the best rose in the Delbard collection. Her flowers are delightful burgundy with black bloom and wavy petals. Each shoot blooms 1 bud, but there are always a lot of stems on the bush, the flowers last up to 2 weeks and are not at all afraid of rains.

FloribundaThere are 7 varieties in this group at once. They are delightful. They are resilient. They will decorate any garden!

Sangerhause jumbileumroseKordes, 2003 Its delicate, large (up to 9 cm in diameter) flowers in apricot-pink tones look very impressive against the background of dark green foliage. Branched bush. Not afraid of disease, heat or rain. Blooms all summer and is very abundant.

Leonardo da VinciMielland, 1993 As you know. Leonardo da Vinci was the greatest artist and ingenious inventor. And the rose, named in his honor, as if seeks to justify the high honor shown to her. Her bush is straight and compact. In the first bloom, it is literally strewn with bright pink pom-pom flowers, very close in shape to the old varieties.

The only drawback of this beauty is that she almost does not smell. But it never fails.

Lios-roseKordes, 2002 She is always included in the top ten charts compiled by a survey of rose lovers - in terms of reliability, she is not equal! Cream-white flowers bloom slowly on large clusters and change shape daily.

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

PastellaTantau, 2004 The bush of this wonderful variety is very beautiful, with bright dark green foliage. Flowers 7–8 cm in diameter, unusual creamy white color with pinkish and green tints. They are collected in multi-member clusters that bloom profusely and continuously. The rose has excellent health and winters well.

Jubile du prince de monacoMielland, 2000 The main advantage of this rose is its "long-lasting" flowers, each of which lasts up to 2 weeks and at the same time constantly changes color: at the time of dissolution, they are white with a red edging, then turn red, and as they fade, they become white-green.

The rose has two drawbacks - it does not smell and in unfavorable years it is affected by black spot. But on the other hand, it feels great in gray latitudes.

Gebruder GrimmKordes, 2007 This rose has been awarded the ADR quality mark, which is awarded to the most decorative and resistant varieties. Her flowers are of a unique yellow-orange-red color. Small, 6–7 cm in diameter, but always collected in large racemes. It always creates a bright accent in the garden, so it is better to plant it separately from other roses, for example, against the background of conifers. Otherwise, she will draw all attention to herself and other varieties next to her will be lost.

PomponellaKordes, 2005 She is short, but blooms very profusely. Her flowers are small, pom-shaped, intense pink, collected in large brushes of 15-30 pieces!

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

WesterlandKordes, 1969 Very spectacular and unusual rose - her bush grows quickly and blooms in two pronounced waves. The flowers are semi-double, copper-orange. And although each of them lasts only 3 days, they take in quantity - there are a lot of buds in the brushes and new ones are constantly replacing the fallen ones. In very harsh winters, it can freeze slightly, but quickly recovers. Possesses the ADR quality mark - for high decorative effect and durability.

AngelaKordes, 1984 The flowers of this wonderful rose are medium-sized, up to 4 cm in diameter, but an incredible amount of them is formed. They are bright pink in color, collected in numerous brushes, which cover the leaves.In catalogs in photographs, she usually does not look very presentable, and flower growers often bypass her with their attention. But those who planted were not disappointed - this is a real queen! Nothing sick and all in bloom. No wonder she was awarded the ADR quality mark.

Bonica 82Mielland, 1985 The ideal rose for beginners! She easily forgives mistakes in pruning and shelter for the winter, and every summer she pleases with abundant flowering. Her flowers are light pink, slightly fading. They are not large, 5–6 cm in diameter, but they open constantly, in any weather, right up to the snow!

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

Rhapsody in blueFrank R. Cowlishaw, 1999 This is the only blue rose in the top 30. And this is the bluest of all roses! More precisely, it is blue-violet. The flowers are not large, but collected in large brushes. Rain resistant. The bush grows up to 1.5 m and looks very impressive surrounded by dense yellow roses.

Very hardy and winter hardy. It can even be left without shelter in the winter. The bush, of course, freezes above the snow level, but quickly recovers. With good cover, the plants are tall and very dense. The flowers of this rose are of an old cupped shape, 5–7 cm in diameter, dark pink in the center and lighter at the edges. And what a smell! Saturated, strong.

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

LarissaKordes, 2008 It appeared on the market relatively recently, but has already managed to conquer gardeners with excellent health and abundant flowering. Its flowers are small, 5–6 cm in diameter, pale pink, densely double, old-fashioned, collected in large brushes. This variety will perfectly complement English roses with large flowers.

Guy SavoyDelbard, 2001 The only rose with striped petals to make it to the list of trusted varieties. It is so powerful that in France it is recommended to make hedges from it. In our conditions, it is, of course, a little more modest, but, nevertheless, it grows up to 1.5 m, forming very tough shoots. They cannot be bent down for the winter, so the bush has to be cut to the height of the shelter. The flowers of this rose are weakly double, but large, of a rare pomegranate shade with white strokes. Each brush contains 9–20 buds.

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

Graham thomasAustin, 1983 This is one of the best varieties of selection by David Austin. Several years ago, he was the last, 14th in a row, to take a place in the World Rose Hall of Fame. It blooms very profusely. His flowers are bright yellow, do not fade and are considered the standard of yellow in roses. In our climate, it will grow very quickly, reaching a height of 2 m.

Crown Princess MargaretaAustin, 1999 An incredible variety - during the flowering season, its shoots are covered with caps of densely double light orange flowers of an old shape with a strong aroma. It can be grown like a climbing rose, with minimal pruning, keeping the shoots from last year. In this case, it will bloom almost along their entire length.

James galwayAustin, 1985 This variety in warm countries forms a powerful bush 2 m high and the same size in circumference. However, in Russia it does not work that way - the shoots are very hard and it is impossible to bend them to the ground, so you have to cut them to the height of the shelter. The flowers of this rose are cold pink, very fragrant, collected in a brush.

Mary roseAustin, 1985 This is one of the first varieties that brought David Austin worldwide fame. The qualities of the variety are outstanding. Tall and strong arched shoots create a beautiful bush shape. They fit easily for wintering. Cold pink flowers with a lilac tint fully convey the charm of real old roses. One of the first to bloom in the garden, and one of the last to finish flowering.

Crocus roseAustin, 2000 The most popular flowering rose in our country.A powerful, spreading bush grows quickly - this variety has never had problems with replacing shoots. Her flowers are white, with an orange center - they look just amazing!

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

Sunny roseKordes, 2001 This variety fully lives up to its name ("sunny" in translation from English - "sunny") - if you want to have a yellow carpet in the garden, then it was created especially for you! Pleases with abundant, almost continuous flowering. In brushes up to 12 large rich yellow, fading to creamy flowers. An adult bush covers an area of ​​about 1 sq. m. It has the ADR quality mark.

ClimbingThere are quite a lot of reliable roses in this group - 6 varieties at once have shown themselves at a height in our difficult climatic conditions.

FlammentanzKordes, 1955 A very spectacular rose with red petals. It blooms once, but so abundantly that it literally overshadows other roses! Her flowers are resistant to rain, open in any weather and stay on the bush for a long time. It grows well on its own roots and perfectly cuttings, therefore it wanders from garden to garden.

Rosarium UetersenKordes, 1977 Growing fast. It blooms profusely all season with bright crimson flowers. It is considered a petite, but in our climate it does not grow to the declared size and is usually grown as a scrub. Looks great and blooms on a trunk. Over time, its shoots become thick, they are difficult to lay, so the bush for the winter has to be cut to the level of the shelter.

Pierre de Ronsard (Eden Rose)Mielland, 1987 In our conditions, its lashes reach 1.5–2 m. It looks beautiful on a lattice support, if you distribute the shoots on it in the form of a fan. But you can grow it in the form of a bush, tying it to vertical supports to protect it from the wind. By the way, it is often called the “rose of paradise”. Indeed, when you stand near an adult flowering bush, which is adorned with an abundance of creamy white flowers with a bright pink edge, it seems that such beauty can only be in paradise.

But this rose has 3 drawbacks: weak aroma, instability of flowers to rain, and thick shoots, which have to be bent for the winter in 2-3 doses.

JasminaKordes, 2005 This rose amazes with excellent health and abundant flowering - new shoots have caps of up to 50 buds! The flowers are medium-sized, cup-shaped, with the most delicate pink-lilac tint and an amazing aroma! And what is more pleasant - the shoots fit well in the winter.

Dorothy perkinsJacksaon & Perkins USA, 1901 It is not without reason that this climbing rambler rose has been so popular in the world for more than 100 years - its powerful bushes 3 m high and more than 2 m wide are strewn from top to bottom with cascades of small, 3-5 cm in diameter pink flowers. The foliage is small, glossy and completely covered with flowers during flowering. Blooms once. Looks great on a high trunk - its long shoots gracefully hang down in a luxurious waterfall.

RaubritterKordes, 1936 This outstanding rose is over 80 years old, but it still drives flower growers all over the world crazy. Belongs to the group of ramblers. It blooms once, but very profusely. The flowers are medium-sized, 5–6 cm in diameter, and resemble pom-poms in shape - they seem to have descended from old paintings. Shoots are very thorny and flexible, easily bend in any direction, so there are no problems with laying them for the winter.

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