Rules for placement in the garden
Since purple roses are very sensitive to gusts of wind, it is better to plant them against a wall or near tall trees. The ideal protection of flowers from drafts will be a hedge of shrubs. When forming flower beds in a garden plot, it should be borne in mind that:
- Tall flowers are best framed with small, stunted plants.
- Sprawling rose bushes will look good alone.
- Delicate purple roses go well with white, pink, orange or yellow shades of roses. They also look great when surrounded by other purple colors.
- Deep purple flowers look great alone along a fence or at home.
- A flower bed of dark purple roses and lemon yellow flowers looks very original.
- The area for planting roses should be well lit, especially in the morning.
Depending on the type of plant, there are certain rules for planting purple roses:
- For perennial heat-loving flowers, a place where a large number of fallen leaves accumulate is suitable. The foliage creates a "fur coat" effect for the rose, helping it to survive the winter. In addition, leaf humus is very beneficial for the soil.
- For young plants, the west side of the house is more suitable. The southern part is characterized by temperature fluctuations, especially in the winter and spring seasons. Because of this, during the day, the rose can get burned from the bright sun, and at night it can simply freeze.
- Heat-loving purple rose species also prefer the western side along the buildings.
- Frost-resistant perennials should be planted in the northern side of the site. In this part of the garden, the snow cover practically does not melt. Covering the bush, the snow allows the plant to overwinter. A blanket of snow reliably retains the warmth of the flower for the whole winter.
- For roses that love moisture, places under a roof drain or near trees are suitable. Drops of rain or melting snow flow down the tree branches and moisten the soil near the roses.
- Evergreen flowers are best planted on the north side of the building. These types of roses need to be especially protected from the bright sun in winter and spring.
From time immemorial, purple has been considered the color of mystery, mystery and mysticism. This cool shade promotes focus and spiritual development. Purple roses are able to quickly calm a person from all worries, allowing him to completely relax. People who prefer this color of roses are very rich spiritually, smart and reliable. Among other things, such an exotic color of roses will decorate any part of the house, apartment or workplace.
Popular varieties
Roses are classified into three types: cut, pot and garden roses.

The most popular varieties of roses are hybrid tea. Most of them are single large double flowers on long, strong shoots. The height of the bushes is about 1 meter.

Climbing roses groups
The progenitors of modern varieties are wild rose hips, but over the years, in the course of natural crossing and selection work, the appearance and properties of the varieties have changed. Sometimes it is difficult to even imagine that a luxurious cultivar, striking with an abundance of flowers of incredible shades, has a modest plowed or steppe rose in its relatives.
The classification of climbing roses into groups is rather complicated, the systematization is at the stage of formation, therefore, inaccuracies and discrepancies in the combination of species and varieties occur. This is explained by the wide variety of the family, since when creating new varieties and hybrids, different types of roses are crossed.
Rambler
A large group, including varieties with elastic soft shoots, reaching a length of 8-12 meters. Peculiarities:
- intensive growth;
- small flowers, 2-4 cm in diameter;
- flowers form numerous inflorescences, each from 30 to 100 flowers;
- the color is formed on last year's shoots;
- little or no aroma.
Most ramblers bloom once, flowering is lush, abundant, lasting up to 30-40 days. They are considered the most suitable for decorating arches, pergolas, gazebos, and fences.
On a note!
Climbing roses, according to the rules of botany, are not included in the group of climbing plants that have antennae, layering for fastenings. Therefore, when decorating supports, roses must be tied up.
Rambler are distinguished by frost resistance, therefore, representatives of this group are most often chosen for growing in central Russia and the northern regions. Representatives: American Pillar, Brewood Belle, Red Parfum, Goldfinch.
Climbers
The combined group includes cultivars with powerful, strong shoots reaching a length of 2-5 meters. Breeders crossed climbing roses with tea, tea-hybrid, resulting in new interesting varieties.
Peculiarities:
- large flowers, 5-10 cm in diameter;
- double flowering (in most varieties);
- high winter hardiness (especially among new generations of climbers);
- flowers are formed on all shoots, including the new season.
Representatives: Breath of Life, Sally Holmes, Compassion.
Climing
A group resulting from mutations in the buds of scrubs or roses of the hybrid tea category. Allocation of it into a separate group is conditional, since the claimings are climbing forms of different types.
Peculiarities:
- lush bloom;
- active growth of stems;
- large flowers (10-12 cm in diameter).
For designations, a special marking is used - the prefix Cl and an indication of the garden group. So, if the claming is based on the Floribunda rose, the designation is ClF, from the hybrid tea rose - ClHT.
Climings are not highly resistant to low temperatures, so they are grown mainly in the southern regions. They are demanding for light, heat, in the northern regions they do not show their potential, they give little growth.
Representatives: Ena Harkness (ClHT), Gloriya Day, Double Delight, Cecile Brunner Climbing.
