How to choose?

The relevance of the correct choice is due to the fact that more than 52,000 different daylilies are already known. The final decision can be made after drawing up an accurate planting scheme, which will take into account the placement of both large trees and bushes, and small architectural forms

Important: contrary to popular belief, evergreen daylilies suffer not so much from frost as from long thaws, followed by regular cold weather. Therefore, you will have to choose between the stability of old varieties and the risks that arise when breeding plants that have recently been bred.

"Long-flowering" varieties are recognized as remontant in catalogs and lists; almost all of them are tetraploids

Important: for the domestic climate, it is necessary to choose varieties that produce a pair of peduncles with a short period of time. Then flowering will last until the onset of the cold season.

Also, Russian specificity requires the use of daylilies with high branching. But when choosing them, you will have to pay maximum attention to a balanced type of plant.

Plant care

Caring for Double Delight is not easy, but the result will reward the grower for the effort. The flower needs regular watering, feeding, pruning and protection from pests.

Watering rules and humidity

This plant is difficult to tolerate both drought and excess moisture. It is necessary to constantly monitor the condition of the soil, it should be slightly moist. It cannot be dry or, on the contrary, wet. A young bush will need 5 liters of water for one watering, an adult needs at least 10-15 liters.

Note! On average, you need to water the plant 1-2 times a week. Water is poured under the root, drops should not fall on leaves and petals

It must first be defended and warmed up to room temperature, if it did not have time to warm up under the sun during the day.

Top dressing and soil quality

The first feeding with nitrogenous fertilizers is carried out immediately after planting the flower. When buds appear on a rose bush, it is fertilized with complex mineral fertilizers. The interval between dressings should be 2-3 weeks. During the summer, the flower is fed 5-6 times. After the flowering period is over, fertilization is stopped.

Pruning and replanting

When 4 leaves grow on a young seedling, it is pinched. This will allow an adult bush to actively branch and grow.

In the spring, sanitary pruning is carried out, during which frozen, diseased and injured shoots are removed. At the beginning of summer, you can start forming a bush. Faded buds must be constantly removed. In late autumn, a cardinal pruning is done to cover the rose bush for the winter.

Important! It is only necessary to transplant Double Delight if the bushes begin to interfere with each other, and they need more space

Features of wintering a flower

Double Delight can withstand severe frosts, but for this the bushes must be covered for the winter. They are strongly cut off and covered with a thick layer of peat (at least 30 cm). Then they put metal arcs as a support and cover the bushes with spruce branches, plastic wrap or any other insulation. Leave air holes on the sides.

You can plant roses in open ground after warming, when the air temperature is stably kept above 10 degrees (usually in mid-May). For the Double Delight variety, a loose, fertile soil is suitable - before planting it must be loosened and organic (peat or manure) or mineral fertilizers added (complex mixtures for roses are suitable). The depth of the pit for planting should be at least 50 cm, since the main root is very strong and large

It is important to completely place the root collar under the ground, but not deeper than a few cm.After planting, the bushes are watered abundantly with water

For a garden or greenhouse, you can purchase a seedling ready for transplanting into open ground. An adult bush is propagated in two ways: dividing and grafting.It is enough to cut it in half, after flowering or in spring, before the first buds form. The plant is dug up, divided together with the root and the cut surface is treated. You can also root cuttings - they are cut at the beginning of flowering and planted in the ground before frost.

Formation of bushes and care before frost

Double Delight rose bushes can look neat and compact despite being large. When 4 leaves appear on young shoots, they can be pinched to stimulate the growth of new branches

In addition, it is important to immediately remove weak shoots in the center of the bush - they do not form buds, but also require nutrients and thin the soil.

The final pruning of the bush is carried out immediately after the end of flowering. Shoots that have faded, as well as weak branches are completely cut off, it is also not recommended to leave withering flowers on the bushes. In the fall, the bush is completely cut off, leaving hemp 40 cm in height. The roots need a winter shelter from peat - a layer of up to 30 cm is formed from it. Further, it is imperative to install a shelter from spruce branches or any special material. In the spring, peat is leveled, freeing the rhizome.

Diseases and pests

Diseases of roses are a huge problem in both domestic and industrial cultivation. Some of them do not respond to treatment and lead to the death of the bush, so it is easier to prevent their occurrence with regular treatments.

The most common diseases and pests of the Double Delight rose:

• powdery mildew - develops at high humidity, leads to the appearance of white bloom and curling of leaves, periodic fungicide treatments help;
• black spot, gray rot - broad-spectrum fungicides also protect against these diseases;
• rust is a contagious, viral disease in which plants are covered with a brown-red spotted bloom, prevention consists in treatment with phosphorus preparations and calcium nitrate;
• pests - aphids, leafworm, sawfly, are sensitive to treatment with a wide range of insecticides.

Photo and description of the Double Delight rose will allow you to make the right choice and purchase several seedlings for your own garden or greenhouse. These plants are bright and original, they look great on their own and in flower arrays. They can be easily grown in the garden or on the house plot, if you follow the simple rules of care and monitor the health of the bushes.
