Features of growing varieties Indigoletta

The Indigoletta rose grows, its whips take a natural position, so the flower does not need a garter and additional support. The climbing plant is often used in landscaping.

In order for the plant to grow well and please with abundant flowering, it is necessary to choose the right planting site and provide care. Growing this variety is not as difficult as it seems at first glance.

The planting site is selected so that the soil is moderately moist, and the groundwater is located deep, and the soil is fertile and with the presence of loose soil.

To create a full blooming rose, special attention should be paid primarily to strong shoots. And the less weak should be thinned out in a timely manner.

It is not at all necessary to remove faded inflorescences.

With the onset of spring, flowers must be fed with a complex set of nutrients. For this, nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus are used.

These substances are fed after the first flowering throughout the summer and until the onset of August, and during this period the flower is limited to nitrogen feeding.

And also before the first flowering, gardeners recommend irrigating flowers with boron micronutrient fertilizers.

The shelter of plants for wintering depends primarily on the region, as well as the prevailing climate in it. Curly rose Indigoletta is not able to survive frost more than 15 degrees without additional shelter. Therefore, if in the area of ​​cultivation of this variety the frosts are weak, then it is not necessary to cover the plant, it is enough just to huddle the stem and carry out mulching. And if a harsh winter prevails on the territory, then the lashes of the roses are bent several times, the main thing is not to damage the shoot root.

It happens as follows: a rope loop is put on the lash, slightly bent to the ground and the end of the rope is tied to pegs buried in the ground.Leave the plant in this position for 7 days, and then gradually shorten the rope, bending the bush even more to the ground. And only after that they make a shelter over the bush, it must be dry.

Do not forget about the treatment of the bush from various diseases. This should be done in the spring, it is recommended to process it with a solution of Bordeaux liquid, the main thing should be done in dry weather, otherwise the rains will wash away all the liquid and the effect will be ineffective.

Subject to all the rules for planting and care, the rose begins to bloom in the first year of planting, but if this does not happen suddenly, then you can use the method to stimulate the seedling. To do this, you need to place the whips of the rose in a horizontal position and make a support. In this position, the buds will awaken and the seedling will begin to delight with beautiful and abundant flowers for a long time.

Roses in the garden, climbing roses:

A gazebo entwined with flowers - isn't that what many people who own a garden or a flower garden dream about? It is easy to get such a cozy corner to relax if you use varieties of climbing roses. And the flower with the intriguing name Indigoletta is perfect for this purpose.

Disease and pest control methods

Indigoletta suffers from powdery mildew, leaves are covered with bloom, buds dry up. In order to prevent the disease from affecting the rose, in the spring the bushes are sprayed with copper preparations, in the summer - with a solution made from soap and caustic soda.

Infected shoots are excised with leaves and burned. The plant is treated with Gamair, Planriz or Fitosporin.

In damp warm weather, Indigoletta is affected by black spotted. The timely removal of leaves from the site, adherence to watering rules helps to prevent the development of the disease. For the treatment of plants, spraying with Bordeaux liquid is carried out, biological fungicides such as "Ridomil Gold", "Topaz" are used.

Ideal location on the plot

The choice of a place for a rose should begin with determining its future role: a shadow arch, decoration of the facade, doorway or shelter of a gazebo. Not the last place in the choice will be taken by the search for space that will be allotted to the bush. It should not be filled with other bushes and trees. Ideal for a rose that loves good lighting would be the eastern part of the house or garden.

If Indigoletta is assigned the main role in decorating the house and garden, then she must be "taught" to grow in the direction that is needed to visualize the beauty of space. The scourge of the plant is tied to the support in the required direction or fan-shaped.

But when implementing ideas, one should not forget about the free circulation of air inside the bush and not thicken it. This will help prevent the spread of disease. If curly varieties (the name of climbing roses used in everyday life) are planted near the house or covered with gazebos, then holes are dug a meter from the wall so that the flower is not flooded with rain and melt water flowing from roofs and gutters.

Indigoletta quickly outgrows supports and trellises. Therefore, assistance to the plant - the "climber" should be thought out taking into account the meteorological conditions of the region: a tree in a humid climate quickly loses its stability. Metal supports are easier to build up and more durable.

Rose Gloria Day - what is this variety

And this particular strain could have been rejected because it only had 3 buds to inoculate. However, breeders were interested in a lush, densely double bud and an unusual delicate color.

• Stimulates the growth of replacing vegetative shoots.
• Withered, damaged, diseased branches are removed.

• The instrument must be clean and sharp.
• The branches are cut at 45 °, the cut goes down from the bud so that the water does not flow onto it.
• The cut is made 8-10 mm higher than the external productive bud.
• The cut site is treated with garden varnish.

The procedure is carried out 3 times:

• Spring pruning. The winter shelter is being removed. Before bud break, unproductive (diseased, thin, dry) shoots are removed. Weak ones are cut at the root, damaged ones - to the healthy part, the tops - to the first bud.
• Summer pruning. Controls flowering. The quality of flowering of the next wave depends on it. Cut off the faded parts to the first from the top of the leaf. Without this procedure, the second wave is delayed, and next year the flowering will be scarce. Lateral branches are cut to 2-3 buds.
• Autumn pruning. This is preparation for winter. Sick and damaged branches are removed.

When the garden plot is replanted, the rose is transplanted. In the spring, the bush is cut in half. The plant is dug out, keeping an earthen lump. The roots are pruned, the diseased are removed. The process is comparable to landing.
