Landing rules

Planting a wrinkled rose does not cause any difficulties even for beginners and inexperienced florists. When planting this ornamental culture, you should pay attention to the following simple rules:

• rose rugoza belongs to the category of completely undemanding to the soil composition and nutritional value of crops;
• you can grow the plant in areas with low salinity and prone to drought, but it is best to set aside for planting sheltered from the wind and well-lit areas of the southern and western directions;
• it is best to plant this kind of rose in early spring, even before the active budding;
• if there is a need to create a high decorative hedge, then the planting of Rósa rugósa seedlings is carried out according to the scheme 0.6 × 0.6 m or 0.8 × 0.8 m;
• group plantings of rugosa roses with junipers or spirea are carried out with a mandatory distance of one and a half meters.

Immediately after planting, the plants should be watered abundantly and shaded from the scorching sun for the first two weeks of rooting.

Breeding technology

Rósa rugósa reproduces both seeds and vegetatively. Such a popular ornamental plant in our country forms abundant root shoots and has a good root collar, which can have a positive effect on the duration of flowering, and also makes the culture promising among tall varieties.

The wrinkled rose belongs to the category of very variable plants, prone to natural hybridization and mutation, therefore, in natural conditions, you can often find bushes with a very unusual color of flowers.

In the conditions of home gardening, it is recommended to propagate Rósa rugósa by root shoots or cuttings. Young plants are easily separated from the parent bush, after which they should be transplanted to a permanent place. A very good result and a high survival rate are obtained by cuttings of green or woody shoots. The cut shoots must be treated with a growth stimulant and rooted in a mixture of coarse sand and peat in a 50/50 ratio.

Care features

Correct and uncomplicated care of such an ornamental plant as Rósa rugósa does not take much time or effort and consists in following the following rules:

• the decorative culture has a powerful and spreading crown, which does not need at all to use a support or tie;
• increased resistance of Rósa rugósa to fungal and viral infections reduces the need for preventive spraying;
• in the spring, sanitary pruning is mandatory, which involves the removal of all weak and broken, as well as very old shoots;
• forming spring pruning allows you to give the crown of the bush the desired shape and consists in shortening too long or bare branches, as well as in removing all shoots growing inside the bush and contributing to its thickening;
• full fertilizers or compost are used for feeding in the spring and summer;
• after the first wave of flowering, it is recommended to feed the plants with a mullein-based solution, and in the autumn period, preference should be given to phosphorus-potassium dressings.

Rose: propagation by cuttings (video)

Rósa rugósa rose bushes hibernate when grown in most regions of our country without using shelter, they can easily withstand frosts down to minus 40 ° C and tolerate heat perfectly. However, it should be remembered that wrinkled roses are very susceptible to chlorosis, so fertilizers must be as complete as possible.

Growing rules

Knowledge of the basic rules will help to achieve success in growing the Rugosa rose:

1. The best location for the rose is in sunny areas that are well protected from the wind.
2. Fertile and moist soil is required, with fertilization.
3. The plant is planted in the spring, before bud break. During planting, it is necessary to place the bushes at a distance of 1-1.5 m.
4. Fertilization is required before planting:

• potassium salt - for 1 m² - 50 g,
• superphosphate - 10 g,
• humus or peat - 8 kg;

5. The plant is planted 15-20 cm in the ground.
6. Stable watering with mulching is required.

The rose can withstand the dry period without losing its decorative effect.

Care features

Some points in caring for a rose are important to know:

• pruning of all broken and underdeveloped shoots, as well as branches older than 4 years, should be carried out. It is necessary to give the bush the correct shape: shorten the elongated and growing inward branches by 17-20 cm, and leave only good shoots;
• leaves should not be treated with chemicals, there is a possibility of getting burned;

Good to know: Removing wilted flowers promotes abundant flowering, but there is a risk of losing ornamental fruits.

• to make planned feeding with compost and fertilizer. The introduction of magnesium and iron is necessary, otherwise the plant will undergo chlorosis;
• after summer flowering, be sure to feed the plant with any liquid fertilizer to stimulate the formation of new flowers;
• in the autumn, potassium and phosphorus are introduced into the soil.

Application in landscape design

Rugosa is actively used by designers to create:

• ecological barriers, curbs, hedges;
• for a dendrological composition together with a coniferous or deciduous tree;
• wonderful compositions, combining different varieties;
• solo planting: one bush on the site;
• rockery: compositions with stone;
• ethno-compositions: a beautiful combination of various plants;

Interesting fact: it is proved that Rugosa cleans the air from pollution in ecologically unfavorable places.

• natural barrier: Rugosa strengthens the coast well, ravine, retains sand;
• in an industrial area, places with high air pollution, Rugosa serves as an environmental barrier;
• topiara: creating curly plants.

Reproduction

Breeding is possible in three ways:

▪     Seeds

This is a rare breeding method that is mainly used to create new varieties. Mainly rootstocks propagate with the help of seeds. Seeds ripen from late July to early November.

Their collection begins during the coloring of the fruit, up to the moment of hardening of the shell. Seeds can be sown both in spring and autumn, after keeping them at a certain temperature for early germination.

▪    Root offspring

Refers to a simple breeding method. The offspring grown from underground shoots are easily separated and transplanted. The best for planting is considered early spring, as well as autumn.

However, due to the persistence of the rose, the transplant can be done at any time in the summer. The main thing with this method is to try to carefully separate the offspring, without damaging the mother plant.

▪     Stem cuttings

This breeding method must be carefully prepared. In early autumn, stem cuttings are cut and stored in a wooden box, rooted in wet sand.

It can also be stored in a moist composition of sand with peat, in a proportional ratio of 1: 1. In this case, the temperature regime should be maintained - 4 - 5 degrees.

It is important: Breeding by root suckers is the most common and popular method.

It is impossible to stop looking at and enjoy the scent of a rose during its flowering period.Growing Rugosa is a great pleasure for any gardener. Its unpretentiousness, resistance to various manifestations of weather, and positive properties exalt the plant to the highest level among similar plants.

Wrinkled rose or rugosa rose: planting, care and cultivation in the open field

When it comes to rose hips, most imagine a healthy orange-red berry, completely forgetting that this species belongs to the Rose family.

Rosehip wrinkled is also called rugosa rose, park, wrinkled rose. Like any member of this family, this shrub has unusually beautiful and fragrant flowers.

Due to its unpretentiousness to growing conditions, it is bred in many parts of the world.

Main characteristics

A vigorous shrub with strong, straight stems, growing up to 2 m in height. The stems are abundantly covered with thorns (thin straight or thick curved).

Older shoots become woody, becoming brown and losing foliage. Depending on the type of plant, the bush can be tall or creeping.

Wrinkled rose, the description of which can be summed up in one word - hardy, able to withstand temperatures down to -40ºC.

Wrinkled rose grade "Alba"

The rose got its name due to the wrinkled leaves. Intense green, leathery, with jagged edges. The upper part of the leaf is glossy, and the lower part is covered with thick gray tomentose pubescence.

On the shoot they are arranged spirally, have one terminal leaf and several (5-7) lateral rounded-eleptic forms.
The flowers of the plant are bisexual, 2-10 cm in diameter. There are both single and collected in inflorescences (paniculate, corymbose).

Their color is varied: white; yellow; cream; pink; red.

Abundant flowering occurs in late May and early June. Popularly, this period marks the beginning of summer. Flowering lasts an average of 20 days, although there are species that fade in 2-5 days.

Flowers open in the morning between 5 and 6 o'clock, and with the arrival of darkness, the petals close to keep the pollen from moisture.

Recently, due to global warming, there has been an earlier blooming of the wrinkled rose, which leads to an increase in the growing season.

The plant bears fruit after 2-3 years, after planting. The largest number of fruits is borne by the shrub at the age of 4-6 years. The berries are orange, red, black, smooth or bristly.

The inside of the fruit is fleshy, coarse fiber with a lot of nuts. In shape, the berries can be round, ovoid, oblong. Good yields appear every 3-5 years.

Propagated vegetatively and by seeds, although they are rather difficult to germinate.

"Roses in the garden: wrinkled rose"

plants

The shrub is quite unpretentious to growing conditions, it can withstand strong temperature fluctuations, but, like any living organism, it has its own preferences. To plant a wrinkled rose, and further care went without unpleasant surprises, you need to know a few rules.

Shrub planting

For a wrinkled rose, it is best to choose a warm, sunny planting site on a flat area or a southern slope. Dislikes strong winds. Prefers loamy soils, slightly acidic, saturated with humus.

If the soil is not fertile enough, organic fertilizers can be used before planting the plant.

If possible, treat the roots with a clay mash (mix water and clay to a creamy consistency), and place humus in the hole.

Planting in open ground is carried out in the spring, until the buds have blossomed, or in the fall before the onset of cold weather.

Usually shrubs are planted at a distance of 1.5 m from each other or neighboring plants.

If a hedge is created with the help of a wrinkled rose, then the distance is reduced to 1 m, and for tall specimens - to 0.5 m.

You should carefully consider the choice of planting material. It is not necessary to plant sick and damaged specimens of wrinkled roses, the seedlings should be strong and without signs of disease and pests. After planting the bush, the soil is abundantly irrigated and mulched.

Planting roses in autumn

Care and cultivation

Experienced gardeners do not recommend feeding a young plant in the first two years of its life. An adult shrub is fertilized in the spring with bird droppings (1:25) or mullein (1:10). You can also use purchased fertilizers, alternating between inorganic and organic.

Further care of the plant includes removing weeds, loosening the soil and shaping the bush.

When pruning, dry branches and those that spread along the ground are completely removed, and the rest are shortened by a third, which stimulates growth and productivity.

The shaping of the rose is carried out only for the 3rd year of the plant's life.

Growing garden roses: pruning

The bush at the age of 6-7 years has rather powerful roots, which can go 2.5 m deep.

To prevent excessive, uncontrolled growth through root growth, you should fence the area around the rose.

For this, a suitable material is dug into the ground (for example, roofing sheets), ringing the roots.

Of course, a powerful root system extending several meters into the ground will preserve the shrub during a long drought. But it should not be forgotten that the wrinkled rosehip is a moisture-loving plant, therefore it is necessary to monitor and carry out soil moisture at least 3 times per season.

Diseases and pests

The resistance to pests and disease resistance of the rose is quite high.

But if the basic rules for its maintenance are violated (violation of the light or temperature regime, lack or excess of moisture, lack of fertilizers), then the shrub becomes weak and vulnerable. Resistance to fungi and other pests falls, which causes the appearance of:

• spider mite;
• leaf rollers;
• sawfly.
• powdery mildew;
• gray rot;
• rust;
• brown rot;

The plant must be protected in every possible way from such troubles, since it tolerates chemicals rather poorly. If it was still not possible to avoid infection, then in the spring, before the swelling of the kidneys, it should be treated with an appropriate drug.

Application of wrinkled rose

The area of ​​application of this shrub is quite extensive.

Depending on the desires and needs, the gardener selects a wrinkled rose, the varieties of which differ in the appearance of the plant, flowers, fruits, etc.

Some creep along the ground, others weave upward, and others will form a beautifully flowering hedge.

The most widespread varieties are: Alba, Hansa, Pink Grootendorst, Abelzieds, Grootendorst.

Wrinkled rose, grade "Alba"
Wrinkled rose, grade "Hansa"

However, the plant is used not only in landscape design.

The flower petals are fragrant, have beneficial properties and a high concentration of essential oil.

Teas and jams are prepared from them, used in cosmetology, both industrial and home.

Traditional healers recommend taking healing baths with wrinkled rose petals, preparing a variety of masks.

The fruits of the plant are no less popular. Let them be slightly inferior to the May rosehip in terms of vitamin reserve, but this frost-resistant rose gives a high yield (about 3-4 kg from one shrub). During winter avitaminosis, its berries are an excellent source of vitamins.

In addition, they have medicinal properties and are widely used in medicine and home treatment.They are harvested in the form of jam, jam or simply dried. Delicious and healthy jelly, compotes, teas are obtained from the fruits.

By the way, these berries are the main raw material for factories producing vitamins.

In the first two years after planting, this plant must be fertilized.

In the third year, urea must be added to the soil. To do this, you need to adhere to the proportion: 15-20 grams of urea per square meter.

After the rugosa rose begins to bear fruit, it must be fed with mineral fertilizers. To prepare them, you need to mix 20 grams of potassium salt and 50 grams of superphosphate.

This mixture targets one square meter.

At the age of 60-7 years, the rugosa rose is able to tolerate drought very well. This is due to the fact that its root system at this age reaches 2.5 meters in depth.

This plant is able to grow very intensively in breadth.

In order for the rose bush to look as neat as possible, before planting it, buried sheets are buried in the ground, which can be made from old roofing iron.

Rose pruning:

• Regular pruning of the plant will provide it with an attractive appearance, excellent flowering and fruiting.
• In the first two years after planting the bush, circumcision does not need to be done. In the third year, in the spring, the bush must be freed from recumbent branches, as well as from very tall paros.
• For the best quality growth of the bush, it is best to leave five annual branches, which are quite well developed.
• After the new shoots reach a height of about 70 centimeters, they will need to pinch off the tops.
• This action is a kind of stimulation of the rose to fruiting.
• Plucking shoots will also cause side branches to develop on the bush.
• In subsequent years, pruning consists of removing poorly developed and unproductive branches.

When pruning, it is necessary to take into account the number of branches that remain on the bush.

From 1 to 4 years old, a rugosa rose should have 16 to 20 branches. In each subsequent year, strong young shoots in the amount of 2-3 pieces must be left on this plant.

Although the rugosa rose has tough and leathery foliage, it can be easily burned. Therefore, in caring for a rose, it is necessary to use chemicals with the utmost care.

Planting this plant is best done in the spring:

• This procedure is carried out until the bud breaks on the rose.
• In the event that the planting of a rose is carried out in order to create a hedge, then the distance between the bushes should be at least 60 centimeters.
• When planting this plant, it is necessary to pour mineral fertilizers into the planting pit.
• This will restrict the grower from having to fertilize the shrub for the next 3-4 years.

Immediately after planting a rugosa rose, it is necessary to prune it. To do this, you need to shorten all its shoots by a third. In the next two years, only unproductive and dry branches are pruned. Rose rugosa does not require transplantation.

This plant can not be transplanted for 25 years.

Rose wrinkled - planting and care

Wrinkled rose is a very unusual and beautiful plant that attracts the eye with its amazing flowers and leaves.

Other names for wrinkled roses are wrinkled rose hips, rugosa rose. Latin names: Rosa rugosa, Hybrid Rugosa (abbreviated HRg).

In our article, we will look at how to plant a wrinkled rose and care for it.

Advantages and disadvantages of Rugosa rose

The main advantage of this species is its excellent plant productivity and regular yield. So, for example, the fruits begin to ripen at the end of August and this process lasts for almost three weeks.

Roses require careful maintenance

Also, rather large fruits are pleasing - about three cm in diameter, weight - from 5 to 16 g, rather fleshy, have an oblong shape. One bush can be harvested about 4 kg.

Wrinkled rose is also distinguished by excellent frost resistance - it can withstand frosts down to -40 ° C without any shelter, the variety is resistant to diseases and pests.

Also, many gardeners love this culture due to the fact that the plant quickly recovers after pruning, is resistant to high humidity and grows on any soil.

But, of course, there are also downsides. For example, a large amount of growth quickly forms on a bush, and it also has a low drought tolerance.

Wrinkled rose - features of its cultivation

Caring for a rose is a fairly simple task, since this culture is not susceptible to drought and temperature fluctuations. However, in order to obtain beautiful flowers, it is very important to create the necessary conditions for growing this crop.

The main features of cultivation include:

• A wrinkled rose is very fond of good lighting, therefore it is better to grow a shrub from the south side, while the site should be protected from drafts.
• Ideally, planting should be carried out before the buds appear - this is spring. But also work can be carried out in the fall. There should be a distance of 1.5 m between the bushes.
• To plant a rose, you should choose a moist and fertile soil, but in addition you need to add organic matter and mineral fertilizers, it will be useful to mulch the site.
• If you want to create a hedge with this plant, the seedlings should be placed about 60 cm from the fence. The hole should be about 20 cm deep.
• Before planting seedlings, the soil needs to be "fed", for which about 10 kg of humus, 40 g of potassium salt and about 10 g of superphosphate should be used for each square meter of the plot.
• After planting, water the roses abundantly and mulch the soil.

Rugosa planting rules

Plan to plant rugosa in the spring - work should be done before bud break and after the soil warms up to +7 degrees. There should also be no risk of sudden frost. You can also plant in the spring - from mid-September to mid-October.

To plant a plant, choose the right site, and you can plant plants in any soil.

If your site borders on ravines or slopes, then plant the seedling so that it is on a flat line of the site.

An important advantage of such a planting is that the developed roots of the bush can stop the slope collapse.

Seedlings up to two years old take root best of all, in addition, they should have powerful roots about 20 cm long. Also, the plant should not have any damage or signs of decay.

An important point: it is best to plant at least 3-4 bushes on the site, since its fruiting depends on cross-pollination.

The site must be prepared in advance: dig up the ground 30 cm, remove plant debris, especially weeds.

When digging, add 10 kg of humus per square meter.

You also need to form planting pits and add a pre-prepared substrate to them, which is prepared from:

• Sod land.
• 20 kg of humus.
• Glasses of superphosphate.
• 60 g of ammonium nitrate.
• 40 g of potassium sulfate.

When planting, form a small mound at the bottom and carefully distribute the roots of the seedling, sprinkling them with soil mixture.

It is necessary to place the root collar above the ground level, for which, when filling the seedling, place it 5 cm higher.

It remains to water each bush with at least 10 liters of water, mulch the trunk circle.

Do not forget to cut the shoots of the shrub, leaving about 30% of their length.

the peculiarity of such a rose is that a large number of roots and shoots are formed on it, which can cause suppression of neighboring plants. To avoid this problem, you should create a barrier using slate.

Rose care - basic tips for gardeners

In the first few years, caring for a rose will consist of watering, weeding, and loosening the soil. Bushes need to be watered literally 4 times per season at the rate of 20 liters for each bush. However, if the weather is too dry, the amount of watering can be increased.

Roses are fed only in the third year after planting, while keeping in mind that you do not need to feed this plant abundantly. In order for the bushes to bloom fully and give abundant harvests, add about 30 g of urea for each "square" every spring.

Once every 4 years, you need to make the following:

• 10 kg of compost.
• 20 g of potassium salt.
• 50 g superphosphate.

The main chores are associated with pruning - work can be carried out in the fall a few weeks before the onset of frost or in the spring, the main thing is that the buds have not yet blossomed.

The first pruning can be done in the third year after planting. When pruning, remove damaged and weak branches, root suckers.

The remaining healthy shoots should be cut at a height of 15-20 cm, leaving at least 5 healthy branches.

New shoots will gradually begin to form on the stumps - as soon as their length is 70 cm, you need to shorten them by 20%. In subsequent years, it is necessary to cut off underdeveloped or damaged shoots.

Also, do not forget to normalize the number of productive shoots in the crown. So, an adult plant (over six years old) should have about 15 shoots.

How to prepare a rose for winter?

The wrinkled rose is a fairly resistant plant to frost, diseases and pests. However, you still need to carry out preventive measures every year that will help make plants even more resistant to various negative factors.

So, be sure to carry out sanitary pruning, dispose of all plant residues left over from the fall from the site. Also, do not forget to dig the trunk circle, be sure to inspect the soil for the presence of pest eggs.

It is also necessary to carry out the processing of plants with the help of Bordeaux liquid - once in spring and autumn, the main thing is to have time before bud break. If you notice pests, wash the plants with an ash and soap solution (2 glasses of ash, 50 g of soap are diluted in 10 liters of water).

If the plant has been attacked by a large number of pests, you can process roses using agents such as Rogor or Aktellik, however, follow the instructions strictly.

In our material, we will analyze in detail how to prune roses in spring.

Here we will explore all the tips for caring for garden queens after winter.

Have you decided to plant roses in the garden? In this article, you will learn basic tips for growing this capricious crop.

In the southern regions, it is not necessary to shelter shrubs for the winter, but in Siberia and other cold regions you cannot do without it. To insulate the shrub, the soil around it is mulched with peat in a layer of up to 7 cm, the branches need to be tied up and put on spruce branches.

How can such a rose be used?

This type of rose can be successfully used not only for decorative purposes, but also for obtaining flowers and fruits. For example, this rose can be used to make delicious tea and jam, healthy eau de toilette for the body.

Decoctions and infusions can be cooked from berries, which are used in the treatment of various diseases. Like rose hips, rugose contains a large amount of ascorbic acid.

That is why its fruits can be successfully used for avitominosis, in the case of diabetic nutrition.

In addition, any variety of this plant is suitable for decorating a flower garden or flower bed, however, you need to be very careful with planting this rose if you are allergic to pollen or smell.

The cost of seedlings of this rose ranges from 500 to 1000 rubles, depending on the region where you buy the planting material. For example, in the southern regions you can find seedlings for only 300 rubles.

Detailed description of wrinkled rose varieties

Wrinkled rose is highly decorative the whole season, therefore it is widely used in landscaping park areas and personal plots.

The special endurance makes it possible to grow the crop in areas with severe frost, where other types of roses do not survive.

Biological features and description of the wrinkled rose

Wrinkled rose is a type of shrub from the genus Rosehip. The natural habitat of wild plant forms is the Far East, Sakhalin, Japan and Korea. Here shrubs can be found on sandy and pebble soils, rocky shores and coastal meadows.

The range of wrinkled roses covers subtropical and cold zones. Therefore, a plant with a genotype formed under such conditions extremely plastic to any soil and climatic conditions, which became the basis for its distribution throughout the world.

The wrinkled rose came to Europe in 1779 with the botanical collection of the English naturalist Joseph Banks. Plants quickly acclimatized and spread outside the garden plots.

Today, the wild form of the wrinkled rose has been introduced in Europe, North America and Australasia.

According to the description, wrinkled rose (rugosa rose) - a powerful, erect, less often spreading bush with a height of 1.5 to 2.0 m. Shoots are thick, greenish-gray in color, covered with light felt and straight thorns.

The leaves consist of 5-9 leaflets, dense, bright green in color with a corrugated surface. During the leaf fall, they acquire a bright lemon color.

Flowers 6-10 cm in diameter, arranged singly or collected in 3-5 pieces. The main shades of flowers are purple-violet, pink, white. The aroma is pronounced.

Rose wrinkled - remontant plant... The first wave of flowering begins in the third decade of May and lasts until the 20th of June. After a short break, it resumes and continues until the first frost.

All about Rugosa:

Advantages and disadvantages of the species

The undoubted advantages of the species - regular productivity and high productivity of bushes... Fruit ripening begins at the end of August and lasts 2-3 weeks.

The fruits of the plant are large, about 3 cm in diameter and weighing 8 g (maximum 16 g), fleshy, oblong, orange-red in color. Average productivity of one bush is 4 kg.

Have a wrinkled rose high frost resistance (-40 ° С without shelter) and winter hardiness, resistance to all diseases and pests.

The plant quickly recovers after pruning, resistant to high humidity and plastic to soil and climatic conditions.

The disadvantages of the species are relatively low drought resistance and excessive growth of overgrowth.

Wrinkled rose is a valuable material for breeders, on the basis of which numerous hybrids and varieties have been created.

Today, gardeners are presented with an extensive assortment, consisting of a variety of specimens with individual characteristics. But invariable species characteristics are always present - these are embossed leaves and large fruits.

Advantages of the species - yield, frost resistance, resistance to high humidity

Rugosa planting

Shrub planting is planned for the spring in the period before bud break, after soil warming up to + 7 ° and in the absence of threats of recurrent frosts. You can plant a rose in the fall in the period from September 15 to October 15.

For the plant, the most illuminated area with a southern or southwestern direction is selected.

Rosehip rugose is capable of developing on any soils, including those with increased salinity. It is attractive for planting plants around the perimeter of the plot, where the salt content is always exceeded.

In areas bordering steep slopes or ravines, a number of shrubs are planted along the coastline. Gradually growing roots stop the collapse of the slopes.

One- and two-year-old seedlings have the best survival rate. with a strong root system of at least 20 cm in length. The planting material should not have any signs of decay or damage.

Since the fruiting of the shrub is dependent on cross-pollination, several shrubs are planted.

The site for planting is prepared in advance... It is dug up to 30 cm, the remnants of weed roots are removed. When digging, organic matter is introduced: compost or humus (10 kg / 1m2).

At the same time, a planting pit (50X50) and a substrate for filling it are formed. Plants are placed according to the scheme 3 X 1.5 m2.

To fill the pit, the top layer of sod land is mixed with:

• humus 20 kg;
• superphosphate 200 g;
• ammonium nitrate 70 g;
• potassium sulfate 50 g.

You can plant rugoza in spring and autumn, choosing the most illuminated area

During planting, a mound is formed at the bottom of the pit, on top of which the roots of the seedling are distributed and sprinkled with soil mixture.

In order for the root collar after shrinkage to be at the level of the ground surface, when backfilling it is placed 4-5 cm higher. After that the seedling is watered with 10-20 liters of water, the trunk circle is mulched with peat or humus.

Shrub shoots are cut, leaving 1/3 of the length.

Feature of wrinkled rose - excessive growth of growth and aggressive roots on the surface of the earth. This becomes the reason for the suppression of neighboring plants and the spread of thickets throughout the site.

You can prevent the problem by creating a root barrier from pieces of slate or roofing iron.

Bush care

In the first two years, plant care consists of watering, weeding and loosening the soil under the bushes. Water the rose 3-4 times per season, the water norm for one bush is 10-20 liters. If dry weather sets in during fruiting, watering is done more often.

Fertilizing the rose will only need 3 years after planting. It should be noted that abundant and frequent fertilization is not recommended for the plant.

For full-fledged regular flowering and fruiting, it is enough to apply urea every spring (30 g / 1 m2).

Once every 3-4 years after the start of fruiting, they are applied per 1 m2:

• compost 10 kg;
• superphosphate 60 g;
• potassium salt 20 g.

The main chores for caring for a shrub are associated with pruning.It can be done in the fall 2-3 weeks before frost or in the spring before bud break. The first pruning is carried out 3 seasons after planting..

The bush must be cut in autumn or spring: the number of productive branches in the crown must be constantly normalized

During the procedure, remove weak, damaged shoots, root suckers, distant from the base of the bush. The remaining shoots are cut at a height of 15 cm, leaving 5-6 healthy annual branches.

Gradually, new shoots will appear on the stumps. After reaching 70 cm, they need to be shortened by 1/5 part. In the following years, pruning consists in removing underdeveloped, damaged, diseased and unproductive 5-6-year-old branches.

During the cultivation of a wrinkled rose the number of productive branches in the crown must be constantly normalized.

In adult plants over 6 years old, there should be 16-20 shoots in the bush, 1-4 years old. Therefore, every year you need to change 5-6-year-old branches for 2-3 replacement shoots.

Preventive maintenance and preparation for winter

Rose wrinkled is highly resistant to almost all pests and diseases... The defeat of the bush can occur only with a gross violation of agricultural technology and the rules of crop rotation.

However, it is important to carry out preventive work to protect against pests and diseases annually.

First of all, this is sanitary pruning, removal, disposal of plant waste and mummified fruits in the fall. At the same time, a surface digging of the trunk circle is done, the cracks are examined for the presence of pest egg clutches.

Treatment with 1% Bordeaux liquid carried out in autumn and spring before bud break. If pests are found, the shrub is washed with an ash and soap solution (400 g / 50 g / 10 l).

When a bush is damaged by a large number of pests, early spring treatments are carried out with chemical agents: Aktellik, Karbofos, Rogor according to the instructions of the preparations.

In the conditions of the southern and middle regions of horticulture, shelter is not required for the shrub. In regions with more severe winters, young plants should be prepared for winter.

For shrub insulation the trunk circle is mulched with a 5-7 cm layer of peat, the shoots are tied up with twine and covered with spruce branches. In winter, snow is pulled to the plant.

Popular varieties

Almost all varieties of wrinkled rose have adopted frost resistance and disease resistance from the mother plant. Only a few varieties in frosty winters can freeze the aerial part.

However, even in these cases, plants are rapidly growing replacement shoots and roses bloom in the current season.

Planting and caring for park roses

Park roses are planted both in the form of hedges, and singly, and in groups. It is better when the area is well lit, but partial shade is also acceptable, there will simply be fewer flowers.

The ideal soil is moderately acidic. Compost, peat or humus are added to the sand, and sand, the same peat, compost, humus, to the clay.

Park roses are planted from May to September.

Pits are dug under the seedlings so that the roots can be freely straightened, and the neck can be deepened by 8 centimeters. Plants are planted from each other at a distance of 1 to 1.5 m.

Attention! Bushes do not thrive in drafts, so choose a protected area.

The roots and shoots of park roses are formed over 3 years. During this period, the soil should be loosened, watered, fertilized, and pruned. In the spring and summer, the demand for water increases, because Plants spend a lot of energy on development and flowering. At the beginning of September, watering is stopped.

Young park rose bush

Circumcision is a very important point. It is carried out 2 years after planting in April, and before that only damaged branches are removed.

Shoots of some species should be cut in half, leaving approximately 6 buds. By pruning, you can rejuvenate the bush.

To do this, the shoots are cut off at the very ground, then the young stems will begin to actively grow.

Advice. Since park roses have very sharp thorns, use a canvas apron and thick gloves when processing them.

Fertilizing and feeding for better development

In spring, roses need magnesium, iron, boron. They contain specially selected dressings for roses. Fertilize plants at this time and manure. Further, park roses begin to feed at the end of August to strengthen the roots.

Fertilizers with a high content of potassium, phosphorus and calcium are applied under the bushes. The second feeding is in September. Under the bushes, pour a bucket of water with potassium monophosphate (16 g) and superphosphate (15 g) dissolved in it.

The last top dressing is done in October, while organic matter is introduced in the form of rotted compost.

Roses need to be fed with special fertilizers.

How park roses reproduce

Reproduction practices:

1. Layers, when the stems are bent to the ground in spring and, having secured, sprinkle with earth. The next year they are separated and assigned to a permanent place.
2. Undergrowth, for which the offspring at the age of 1 year are separated from the main bush in the spring, and then, having shortened the stems by a third, are transplanted.
3. By dividing overgrown bushes in early spring or autumn. This is done using a secateurs. Each division must have roots and at least 1 stem. The separated part is planted in compliance with the usual planting rules.
4. Lignified or green cuttings... The first ones are harvested in the fall, buried in the sand, and planted in the spring. The second - at the beginning of flowering.

What park roses are sick with. Pests

Park roses are characterized by diseases such as spheroteka or powdery mildew. It is very dangerous for plants, because often leads to death.

It is expressed in the appearance of a gray bloom on the leaves from below.

Varieties of re-blooming white park roses

The term "park roses" is applied to cultivated rose hips. Most often these are hybrids of wrinkled rosehip (Rosa rugosa), although the group of park roses also includes varieties bred from other natural species - prickly rose, white rose, etc.

Like other varieties of garden roses, park roses can be single or re-flowering. Mainly rugose hybrids possess remontant properties, since this species also blooms again in nature. Interesting varieties of such white park roses are collected in the table:

Variety name	Characteristic	Zone USDA
Blanc double de coubert	A very old French park rose, a hybrid of rugosa. Terry flowers, snow-white, up to 9 cm in diameter, develop in clusters of 3 pieces. A great advantage is the strong aroma of flowers. The bush is vigorous, reaching a height of 1.5 meters.Immunity to fungal infections is strong, excellent winter hardiness. Disadvantage - flowers do not keep rain well enough.	IV
White Grootendorst	American Rugosa hybrid, bred in 1962. The variety is interesting in the serrated shape of the petals, reminiscent of a clove. The flower is terry, pure white, of small diameter (4 cm), but flowering occurs in large clusters of 5-10 pieces each. The bush is strong, vigorous, up to 1.75 m high. Immunity to fungal infections is excellent, the flowers keep the rain well. Abundant flowering throughout the summer, until the first frost. High frost resistance.	IV
Martin frobisher	Canadian rugose hybrid, which is a super winter-hardy variety. The flowers are medium in size, up to 6 cm in diameter. The color of the petals on the outside is pure white, on the inside - with a pinkish glare. Terry flowers, fragrant, collected in inflorescences of 3-5 pieces. The bush grows up to 1.8 m, blooms profusely, continuously. Disease resistance is good. The disadvantage of the variety is the browning of the flowers during flowering, insufficient resistance to rain.	II
Schneekoppe	A popular German rugose hybrid that can be used as a groundcover rose. The bushes of this variety are low (up to 1 m), but cover an area of ​​over 1.5 m2. The flowers are semi-double, with thin milky-white petals with a slightly pinkish tinge. Blossom in brushes of 3, have a strong aroma, keep rain well. Immunity to fungal infections is strong, winter hardiness is excellent.	III
Sir thomas lipton	Rugosa hybrid, was obtained in 1900. Blossoming is very abundant, remontant. The flowers are terry, pure white, of medium diameter - up to 7 cm, bloom in clusters of 3-5 pieces. The aroma is bright, expressive. The bush is very tall - up to 2 meters, the growing shoots droop beautifully. Good immunity to infections, high winter hardiness. The disadvantage is poor resistance of flowers to rain.	VI

Rugosa hybrids have thorny shoots, which makes it somewhat difficult to care for them. However, the foliage of these park roses is bright, well set off the white flowers, so these plants look decorative and are well suited for creating flowering hedges and landscaping slopes.

Tip # 1. The leaves of rugose hybrids have a characteristic wrinkling, but this does not spoil the external impression of the plant. In addition, the leaves of the listed varieties are able to maintain a bright green color until late autumn, which makes the bushes a worthy element of landscape design.

Varieties of single-flowering white park roses

The varieties of the Grothendorst group, to which the White Grootendorst rose belongs, is also called “carnation roses”.

Not for every rose grower, the repair of flowering is a fundamentally important point. This is especially true for owners of plots located in cold climatic zones, where the short summer does not allow even re-flowering varieties to enter the second wave of flowering. For such florists, the following are more important advantages:

• increased winter hardiness;
• increased resistance to fungal diseases;
• good resistance of flowers to rain.

In such a situation, it makes sense to pay attention to the following varieties of white park roses:

• Alba Suaveolens. Where, when and by whom this rose was bred is not established, but it has been known since the Middle Ages. Some researchers suggest that it is Alba Suaveolens that is the very famous white rose of York, which is depicted on the coat of arms of the dynasty. This is a powerful plant that can grow up to 2 meters and cover an area of ​​up to 3 m2. The flowers are large (7 cm), pure white, medium double, with a strong expressive aroma. Abundant flowering, early, in clusters of 5-10 pieces. Good resistance to rain, excellent to fungal infections. Recommended for USDA Zone III.
• Double Scotch White. Also a very old Scottish hybrid of the prickly rose, known for over two hundred years. The bush is vigorous, the flowers are small (up to 5 cm), semi-double with a great aroma.The variety is interesting not only during flowering, but also during fruiting, since it is black-fruited. Drought-resistant, extremely frost-hardy (USDA zone II), not picky about soils. Resistance to rain and fungal infections is very high.

Having acquired these white park roses, you only have to worry about limiting their growth. Their high vitality makes them rather aggressive "invaders" of the territory. Therefore, it is better to plant such roses in places where this feature will be appropriate.

Tip # 2. The fruits of many park roses are large, fleshy and very healthy. In terms of vitamin C content, they are not inferior to wild rose hips, therefore, park roses can be used not only for decorative purposes.

Reviews of rose growers about white park roses

Rose Double Scotch White quickly develops the territory and can be used to strengthen moving soils.

Due to its ability to winter without shelter, white park roses are very popular in Russia (See also the article ⇒ Non-sheltering park roses: varieties and reviews). Almost all varieties can be found in the comments of rose growers:

“Schneekoppe grows with me in extreme conditions. The soil is heavy, clayey, it warms up poorly, the sun comes to this area only after lunch. But the rose suffers and pleases with flowering. Blooms in June, the first wave is very abundant. Then all summer it gives out flowers, but not so frequent. Each flower lasts about 5 days. The bush grows better in width, in my height it has grown only up to 70 cm.I only huddle for the winter. It hibernates well, only unripe shoots freeze slightly. Does not get sick with anything, but insects need to be treated - pests love rugoses. Otherwise, the rose is practically maintenance-free ”(Olga, Moscow region).

“I have known Rose Double Scotch since childhood - there was a huge bush near the house. The aroma is amazing, the bush at the beginning of summer stood like a bride. Now I want to breed it on my site. I got a thin root offspring last fall, planted and spud. I survived the winter well, I grew up well over the summer. I look forward to blooming next year ”(Tatiana, St. Petersburg).

“The Martin Frobisher rose is very prickly! Especially

Park white roses can have a slight blush like Martin Frobisher.

spiny basal shoots, on the second order there are almost no spines. It blooms beautifully, 10 pieces per inflorescence, but the old flowers turn brown, cover the young buds and spoil the whole look. We have to cut them off all the time ”(Galina, Nizhny Novgorod).

Opinions about the winter hardiness of varieties of white park roses in different rose growers may not coincide. This is due not only to the difference in climatic conditions, but also to possible care errors - improper feeding and pruning. In general, park roses are unpretentious plants (See also the article ⇒ Peculiarities of pruning park roses).

Expert recommendation for using park roses

The thorny hedge of park roses is impassable not only for humans, but also for some animals.

Park roses offer many possibilities for garden use. For example, landscape designer Valeria Ilyina, a regular contributor to the magazine "House and Garden", advises the following:

“First of all, rose hips are the best material for creating impenetrable living scenes. Moreover, it is possible to predict quite well the capabilities of a particular variety, knowing the characteristic features of a natural species. For example, from the varieties of the white rose (R. alba), known in culture since the 16th century, you can eventually get an impassable thorny hedge with a height of more than 2.5 m, gradually expanding in width. The bushes do not get sick, are not affected by pests, but old plantings need regulatory pruning. "

Thus, the strong thorniness of the shoots of park roses from a disadvantage can turn into a dignity.

Topical questions about white park roses

Question number 1. How to prune white park roses correctly?

Very often, park roses are not cut at all, but even in such a neglected state, the bushes live and bloom for several years. However, sooner or later they will need anti-aging pruning. Regular spring or autumn haircuts should be done in moderation. In autumn, unripe shoots are cut, in spring - poorly overwintered or damaged by a fungus. Also, from time to time, the bushes require thinning.

Question number 2. How to spray a park rose from pests?

It depends on which pest attacked the bush. For example, almost any insecticide is suitable for aphids, and for a spider mite, a drug with acaricidal properties is needed - for example, "Aktara" or "Fufanon". For prophylaxis, roses can be sprayed with the biological preparation Fitoverm.
