Rose spray best varieties

About roses with a fashionable name spray became known recently, at the turn of the century, and they gained wide popularity even later - at the beginning of the XXI century. Cultivars with bright buds collected in a brush used to belong to the Floribunda group, but the rapid increase in the number of these beautiful flowers allowed them to be distinguished into a separate group. Spray rose is very decorative and elegant. It is appropriate in any flower arrangement - in a flower bed or in a wedding bouquet. This article offers a description of the most exquisite varieties of roses, as well as recommendations for their cultivation.

Description of the species

What is spray roses and what is their difference - this question may interest not only beginners, but also experienced flower growers. Roses belonging to the spray group have all the characteristics of Floribunda, with the only difference that they are more compact and undersized.

The bushes of this rose are 40-50 cm high, although some varieties can grow up to 80-90 cm. The flowers are small, sometimes even miniature, 3-7 cm in diameter (depending on the variety), arranged in clusters of 10-15 pieces per branch ... The buds can be elegant goblet or densely doubled in different color shades.

One cut off branch may well be considered an independent bouquet, which is why spray roses are often called "bouquet" roses. They are also great as a background for larger flowers, or in mini-bouquets, therefore florists use these flowers most often in wedding bouquets.

Like Floribundas, spray roses bloom very long and profusely. With proper pruning, flowering lasts almost all summer. In addition to being highly decorative, they are very unpretentious to conditions and winter-hardy, which allows them to be grown in the climate of the middle zone and even in cooler regions.

Another nice feature of roses is the small number, and sometimes the complete absence of thorns, which makes them easy to care for and make bouquets. In recent years, spray roses have been increasingly used in landscaping and home gardening. They are equally beautiful both in a flowerbed and in a single planting, and the small size of the plants allows them to be grown in pots and containers.

The best varieties of rose spray

The rapid popularity of flowers contributed to the fact that new varieties of a wide variety of shapes, sizes and color palette began to appear regularly:

• Satin (Satin) - amazing beauty rose with marble two-color buds. The flowers are large (up to 8 cm), bright pink with cream stains.

• Orange spray (Orange spray) - a new variety of roses with bright orange color of the petals. The buds are small (3-4 cm), resemble a tea rose in shape, and exude a light aroma.

Planting and caring for the bush

Growing roses with spray is a pleasant and fun process. For planting, choose a place protected from the winds, sunny or slightly shaded. Roses of light shades can be planted in the sun, but varieties with dark buds are best placed in light partial shade, since the flowers quickly fade in the sun.

The planting process consists of the following stages:

• digging a planting hole about 45 cm wide and deep;
• laying the drainage layer (sand, small pebbles);
• it is advisable to lay organic fertilizers on top of the drainage (dry leaves, compost, well-rotted manure);
• sprinkle fertilizers with a layer of earth;
• place a bush on the formed mound, spread the roots and carefully cover it with earth.

After planting, the rose should be well watered at the rate of 6-8 liters of water per bush. The water should be settled and not cold, and it should be poured into a small depression made around the seedling.

Caring for roses spray is required uncomplicated. They love regular watering, especially during the flowering period. To prevent moisture from evaporating, the ground can be covered with mulch. In the absence of mulch, the soil must be regularly loosened and cleaned of weeds. In hot weather, burns may appear on the leaves and petals of flowers. To avoid this, periodically the bushes need to be sprinkled.

For a lush and long-lasting flowering, roses need top dressing. In the spring, before flowering, nitrogen-containing fertilizers are applied. Flowering shrubs need more phosphorus, potash fertilizers and trace elements. Despite the high frost resistance, the bushes need to be spud and covered for the winter.

Pruning for roses is of great importance - it stimulates and prolongs flowering, and also promotes the formation of new shoots (rejuvenates the bush). It is necessary to carry out pruning several times during the season: sanitary in spring, forming in autumn. In the summer, it is necessary to regularly remove faded buds, as they not only spoil the appearance of the bush, but also serve as a refuge for pests and microbes.

Planting and leaving

Planting spray roses is not a difficult process at all. It is recommended to choose a sunny place for planting. However, some varieties fade in the sun, so a small partial shade is fine.

In order to plant a plant, you will need:

1. Dig a hole measuring 45 * 45;
2. Put drainage (pebbles, sand) on the base of the fossa;
3. Put organic fertilizers over the drainage (dry leaves, rot, humus, manure);
4. Plant the plant in a planting hole, cover with soil and compact around the stems;
5. Pour with settled and warm water (8 liters of water per bush).

These cultures are unpretentious. From spring to July, fertilizing with a high nitrogen content is required. And in the summer and until autumn, the plant needs trace elements such as potassium and phosphorus. It is very important to apply fertilizers during the budding period and at the end of flowering.

The soil around the stem must be loosened regularly. Watering should be moderate.

Roses need shelter for the winter.

Pruning

Pruning is very important for spray roses. It stimulates the formation of young branches and ensures more abundant and long-lasting flowering. Pruning is recommended several times throughout the season. At the same time, dry and damaged branches are removed. Also, at the end of flowering, it is necessary to cut off the wilted flowers.

It is especially important to prune the bush in the summer so that the plant does not waste energy on the formation of fruits, but blooms more intensely and more abundantly. In addition, pruning is the prevention of fungus.

Reviews and opinions of gardeners

In Russia, the most popular varieties are called Lydia, Ruby Star, Mimi Eden, Fire Flush... Reviews about them are left on the forums more actively than about others. Moreover, these opinions are mostly positive - these varieties deserve them.

Most often, the issue of wintering is discussed. In central Russia, it is advisable to cover the culture for the winter, despite the rather high winter hardiness of all varietal species. It is recommended to cover with spruce branches or needles.

In general, no additional plant care measures are required. The exception is cropping. It stimulates flowering that lasts throughout the season. When pruning at the end of flowering, leave about 15 cm from the soil surface.

It is advisable to purchase grafted bushes in proven stores and nurseries, and plant in the fall, around mid-September.

Application in landscape design

Spray roses are actively used in floriculture and landscape design. They look great in the foreground in flower beds and flower beds. Also suitable for container growing. They can become a decoration of rest corners, verandas, adjoining territories.

Due to their short stature, they are used for framing paths and borders.

The best varieties of rose spray

The constantly increasing demand for spray has led to the fact that more and more varieties began to appear in the world selection every year. Next, let's take a look at the description of the most common varieties.

Typhoon

Terry rose Typhoon has orange-red petals, which turn yellow closer to the middle.

All varieties of spray roses are often used to create wedding bouquets.

Site selection and soil preparation

Cultivation of crops can be carried out by both beginners and experienced gardeners, the main thing is to observe all the nuances of growing. To plant a plant in the garden, you need to choose a sunny, but protected from the winds area.

It is advisable to plant varieties with light petals in sunny areas, and roses with dark inflorescences are recommended to be placed in partial shade. If this is not done, then with high solar activity, the intense color of plant buds will soon become light.

It can take up to three months to prepare high-quality soil for flowers, so for planting plants in the fall, the soil must be prepared in summer or in October if planting is planned for the spring.

The basic rules for soil preparation are as follows:

1. We remove weeds and their rhizomes from the site.
2. We dig up the soil on the bayonet of the shovel with the simultaneous transshipment of the earth. Next, a ditch is made 40-50 centimeters deep and the top soil with fertilizers is poured onto the bottom, and then the bottom layer is mixed with fertilizers. For several months of vystoyka, the earth in the ditch subsides and is saturated with useful substances. Along with this, excess moisture also leaves.
3. Some growers immediately plant the plants in pre-dug soil with dug depressions, but this method is considered less effective.

In the case of planting plants in pre-prepared, transshipped soil, the root system will develop rapidly and gain unhindered access to oxygen.

Many gardeners do things differently. They dig up the area on a shovel bayonet without prior leveling in the fall. This will contribute to the freezing of the top layer of the soil and the destruction of pathogenic bacteria and microorganisms harmful to roses, pest larvae. Fertilizers added during this period will be able to dissolve over the winter.

With the arrival of spring, the planting site is leveled with a metal rake and holes begin to be dug for planting crops. The depth and width of such depressions should be 25-30 centimeters higher and wider than the root system of the plant. Subject to these parameters, the pit is filled with light nutritious soil, which will give an impetus to the intensive development of the root system.

During the preparation of the soil for the rose garden, the influence of predecessors must be taken into account. It is known that roses grow poorly in areas where cinquefoil, cherry, quince or hawthorn were previously located. In such areas, a 50 cm layer of soil is removed and replaced with new soil.

The acidic composition of the soil can be determined by litmus test. So red indicates an acidic earth, blue indicates a neutral acidic soil. Sorrel and horsetail usually grow on acidic soil, clover or horseradish on alkaline soil. In the presence of alkaline soil, superphosphate or compost, needles are added to its composition. Wood ash or bone meal is added to acidic soil.

How to choose the right seedlings

Rose planting material can be sold in mini containers or in bags filled with nutrient substrate, less often open. When planting in the fall, it is better to choose seedlings with an open root system, but plants in containers are better suited for planting in the spring.

Before purchasing, carefully inspect the bush and its root system for damage and other defects such as mold and dried out areas.In the case of purchasing plants in a package, pay special attention to the condition of the soil, it must be crumbly, not have a specific smell. A strong, healthy seedling with white roots at the bottom is the best choice.

The successful alignment of the scion with the stock is indicated by an even callus at the grafting site.

Preparing seedlings for planting

Before planting, the stems of rose seedlings must be pruned. Together with this, buds, damaged and dried branches are removed. On the main shoots of the bush, 4 ... 5 eyes are left. less developed stems should contain at least 3 buds. It is also necessary to lightly trim the lateral roots and remove the damaged ones.

For disinfection and speedy healing, gently coat all cut sites with garden varnish.

After carrying out these operations, plants with open roots are placed for 12 hours in a solution of water and sodium humate. To prevent drying, the roots of the seedlings are dipped in a mash, which is made of clay, water and a root formation stimulator, the components are mixed until a creamy consistency. After that, the root system is carefully wrapped in moistened burlap.

Landing

Spray planting can be done by both an experienced gardener and an amateur. The entire workflow can be roughly divided into several stages:

• we dig a landing hole with a depth and width of 45-50 centimeters;
• we fill in the drainage in the form of small pebbles and coarse sand at the bottom of the ditch;
• scatter organic matter (compost and humus);
• sprinkle nutrients with a thin layer of earth;
• gently straighten the roots, place the seedling in the hole and sprinkle it with earth.

After carrying out such actions, we water the rose with warm water. For each bush, you need to use 6-8 liters of liquid.

Growing

Further care for roses is a simple spray. All that is required is to loosen the aisles in time and remove weeds, as well as water and fertilize, cut off shoots on lush bushes. Next, we will deal with all the activities in more detail.

Watering and feeding

Plants need regular abundant watering throughout the growing season, and especially during flowering in persistent drought. Laying mulch in the root zone of the plant will help to simplify the process. A thick layer of sawdust or low-lying peat will prevent moisture from evaporating.

In the absence of a mulching layer, the soil must be constantly loosened and weeds removed. In hot weather, burns can appear on the leaves of roses. To prevent this phenomenon, the bushes are watered with warm water in the evening by sprinkling.

For long-term intensive flowering, spray roses must receive additional nutrients, which are introduced into the soil in the form of dressings.

At the initial stage of development, nitrogen is required before the first buds appear. Flowering shrubs take from the soil a significant amount of phosphorus and potash fertilizers, as well as trace elements.

Correctly cut and form a bush

Not only old, but also young bushes are formed. After pruning in the fall, strong lignified branches with buds should remain on the plant. Old and shrunken shoots, as well as wind-damaged shoots, are not left on the plants. During the pruning of roses, the following rules must be observed:

1. use a previously disinfected sharp pruner or other tool for work;
2. pruning is carried out from the bottom to the top of the bush;
3. the sections are carried out over the external kidney at an angle of 45 degrees;
4. if the plant can be damaged by diseases and pests, the wounds are covered with garden var.

The technology for forming a bush depends on the variety of culture. So short pruning is used for highly bushy plants. With an average formation, the bush is shortened by half the length, leaving 30 centimeter stems with 5 ... 6 buds.Long pruning involves removing 2/3 of the branch, helping to achieve early flowering.

Similar work is carried out in the fall in the evening in the presence of warm weather. During formation, the 5 most developed shoots are determined on the bush, the rest are removed at the root.

A healthy shoot does not have a large number of lateral branches, has a dark green bark, and has a diameter of at least 1 centimeter.

On the selected stems, five buds are counted from below and an even cut of wood is made. During the work, make sure that the upper kidney remains on the outside. A distance of 1 centimeter recedes from it and an oblique cut is made towards the middle of the bush. After cutting the wound, the plants are covered with garden pitch and the branches are removed.

Preparing for winter

For normal wintering, it is necessary to make a hill of earth above the shoots of plants. Before hilling, remove non-lignified shoots, flowers and leaves. Experienced gardeners cut off all flowers and buds from roses in the last decade of October. This will help to harden the plants and prevent the use of additional nutrients from the soil. Sand or dry soil is poured over the stems of roses to a height of 35 centimeters. Further, the hill is covered with sawdust, low-lying peat or spruce branches.

Do not take the soil from the rows of flowers, such actions can provoke damage to the root system of plants.

There is another method of covering roses for the winter, air-dry. It consists in the device of an impromptu frame made of metal wire up to 50 centimeters high. Further, this structure is furnished with foam rubber, foam sheets or reeds. Next, a plastic wrap is stretched onto the frame, which will protect the plant from moisture penetration. To prevent the destruction of the material, the hanging pieces of the film are sprinkled with earth. An improvised shelter can be ventilated before the onset of cold weather with temperatures below -15 degrees.

How can you multiply

In practice, several spray rose propagation methods are used:

1. Using seed. A time consuming method that involves the collection and stratification of grains, growing seedlings.
2. Rooting of roses by layering is carried out in the spring. With this method of reproduction, one of the lashes is bent from the mother bush and covered with earth. By the fall, this shoot will have its own roots, after which it can be transplanted to a new place, as a separate plant.
3. With the help of root suckers. Such plants are separated from the mother bush one year after emergence, when they have their own root system.
4. By cuttings. In the middle part of the shoot, several pieces of the stem are cut and placed in a solution of water and a growth stimulant. In the future, the plant is rooted in a special greenhouse, a school under a certain temperature and humidity regime.
5. In the case of dividing the bush, the rose is cut into pieces. Moreover, each plot must have its own root system and 2 ... 3 developed buds.

The fastest way to reproduce is to divide the bush. In this case, spray roses retain varietal characteristics. The use of seed is practiced by breeders to obtain new types of crops.

Pest and disease control

Aphid

The main pest of roses is aphid spray. These small insects settle in colonies on the inside of the crop leaves. The parasites suck the sap from the plants, which leads to wilting and twisting of the leaf plates. Aphids multiply intensively, giving up to 10 generations per year.

The presence of aphids on plants can be unmistakably identified by damaged leaves or chaotically moving ants (they feed on parasite sap).

To effectively combat the pest, a soap solution with the addition of mustard powder or chemical preparations Karbofos, Aktelik, Rogor is used.

Cicadca

Another dangerous rosary pest is the leafhopper.After parasitizing this insect, the leaves of the flower become covered with white spots, losing their original appearance. With severe damage, yellow spots appear on the surface. To combat the parasite, chemicals and insecticides are used.

The pale yellow or white leafhopper with an elongated body does not pose a danger to the plant. The main harm is caused by insect larvae, which feed on plant juices.

Spider mite

The spider mite is especially harmful to the culture. Its oval body, up to 0.5 millimeters long, consists of 4 pairs of legs. The color of the body is red or orange, the larvae are greenish. Parasites damage the lower surface of the leaves of roses, suck out juices, which leads to the appearance of yellow spots and a loss of decorativeness of the plant.

You can detect the pest with a magnifying glass or by the thin cobwebs that bind the leaves.

Tick ​​colonies can be destroyed with chemicals such as Vermithek or Fitoverm.

Leaf roll

Of the pests of the rose, special attention should be paid to the leaflet. Caterpillars appear on the plant in early spring, begin to gnaw the buds and young shoots, then take up the leaves. Caterpillars are harvested by hand and destroyed, with strong foci of damage, the plant is treated with insecticides.

Powdery mildew

Powdery mildew is considered the most popular among rose diseases. The disease manifests itself in the form of a powdery white coating on the leaves and shoots of the culture.

Moderate temperature and high humidity can be the cause of its occurrence.

Powdery mildew is prevented by spraying plants with a Bordeaux mixture and applying phosphorus-potassium fertilizers. At an intensive rate of development of the disease, roses are sprayed with a solution of soda ash 0.5% concentration.

Black spot

This is a fungal disease that appears on the leaf blades of the rose in the form of brown spots from the middle of summer. Severe damage leads to complete blackening, drying out and leaf fall. Fungal spores hibernate in fallen leaves and shoots, which is why organic remains must be removed from the site and burned.

Another effective solution to the problem is the spring treatment of rose leaves with Bordeaux liquid.

Even a novice gardener can handle growing roses with spray. The main thing in this matter is to follow the rules of planting and caring for plants, to carry out timely processing of flowers from diseases and pests.
