Rose iceberg

Description of floribunda rose group

Rose Floribunda (Latin Floribunda) is a group of roses bred by breeders by crossing musk and polyanthus roses with tea hybrid

1. Form - a spreading bush up to 40 cm (undersized), 60 - 80 cm (medium-sized), more than 1 m (high). Can be grown in the form of a standard tree and a pot plant.
2. Flowers - from 4 to 10 cm, can be simple, double, semi-double cup-shaped and goblet-shaped, have the widest range of colors and tones. They are collected in lush racemose inflorescences (bouquet type of flowering), sometimes numbering several dozen flowers.
3. Flowering is abundant, throughout the summer, undulating (at least 3 waves).
4. Care - Floribundas need good feeding, as they form a huge number of flowers. Roses need pruning that meets the requirements of the variety
5. Frost resistance - floribunda group roses are winter hardiness and disease resistance.

The disadvantage of this group of roses is the complete lack of aroma in many varieties. Floribundas look great both as tapeworms and in composition with ground cover plants and herbaceous perennials.

Step by step care instructions

Choosing a place on the site

The best place to plant Iceberg roses is a well-lit area with protection from the wind.

To land a snow-white beauty, you must choose a flat area without depressions so that water does not accumulate.

Landing

It is recommended to start planting as soon as the ground warms up a little. Optimal in April. You must first soak the seedlings in water. When planting, pruning should be carried out - remove excess shoots and roots over 30 cm.

The soil is dug deeply and fertilizers are added. Then the flower is lowered into the hole and watered.

Temperature

One of the important advantages of this variety is good adaptation to temperature extremes. The plant can be planted in both warm and cold climates. The maximum allowable winter temperature is up to -35C.

Watering

It is necessary to water the climbing rose at the very root, preventing water from getting on the leaves and buds in order to avoid fungal diseases. The water temperature should be slightly higher than the environment.

Top dressing

At the beginning of summer, it is recommended to make two dressings - with mineral complex fertilizers or ammonium nitrate. This will provide the plant with long flowering and a developed root system.

Pruning

For healthy flowering and the formation of a bush, pruning of a snow-white beauty is carried out in the autumn or spring.

With a sharp tool, shoots older than three years are gradually removed, keeping only one or two years old.

Garter

To give the bush a shape, new branches must be tied up.

It is not recommended to place all the lashes horizontally, otherwise the buds will arise only at the tops.

For lush flowering, you can:

1. Place the stems in a fan, and do not tie the side shoots so that they grow up and to the sides.
2. Guide the shoots around the support and tie them in a spiral, then the lashes will wrap around the arch.
3. Place the main shoots horizontally, tied to a support. Then new side branches will grow upward.

Transfer

If a flower is planted in an unfortunate place, it must be urgently transplanted. This is best done in the fall.

The ground part of the plant is removed from the support, and the bush is carefully dug in, stepping back about 60 cm from the base of the plant.
After that, the culture is taken out of the ground, removing excess soil, and immediately transplanted to a new place. It is necessary to transplant the climbing rose as carefully as possible so as not to damage the root system of the snow-white pet.

After a couple of days, you need to fill up the earth and spud the rose.

Preparing for winter

For the winter cold, the plant must be prepared in advance.

1. In October, diseased shoots are cut out, leaves and flowers are removed.
2. In the fall, they do not carry out a full-fledged pruning, so that frost does not destroy the freshly cut shoots. The shoots of the Iceberg rose are flexible, so it will not be difficult to pull them to the ground and cover them with spruce branches.

   Such a shelter during thaws will protect the flower from dampness.

3. With the arrival of spring, the shelter is removed and the soil is loosened.
4. Since September, it is necessary to reduce the number of watering, not to loosen the soil and exclude nitrogen fertilization.

Description of the iceberg variety

It is the white floribunda that is one of the most popular and widely known types of roses. The flowering period of the rose begins mainly in early summer and continues to bloom until severe frosts.

This variety is distinguished by its increased resistance to temperature extremes, it is this feature that allows the rose to bloom all year round in hot climates. In addition, floribunda is a richly flowering cultivar. The buds are slightly elongated, sometimes greenish or pinkish, when opened, they look like semi-double and pure white flowers with a slight pink tint, which are clearly visible in cold weather. The flowers of this plant last quite a long time both on the plant and after cutting, the stamens retain their yellow shade for a long time.

Flowers that, collected in inflorescences, bloom within a few weeks. The floribunda bush has a branchy shape, vigorous, with shiny foliage. In hot climates, it can reach up to two meters in height, while weaving to various structures, however, it is recommended to prune at half this height. The rather round and branched shape of the bush makes it possible to use this plant both in solitary planting and in microassembly. If the weather is wet for a long time, black spot may appear, however, this does not prevent the iceberg variety from being the most resistant to various diseases.

The iceberg is resistant to rainy weather, while the flowers do not fall off and do not lose their original appearance. Diseases can only occur when plants are planted close to each other.

The only drawback of this variety is that the iceberg rose has practically no smell, however, this does not make it less popular. Its glide trait makes it the foremost genus of this class.

This variety differs from others in the following characteristics:

1. Flowering is profuse and long lasting. Thanks to the iceberg rose, you can create a unique design throughout the year both on the wall, on the arch, and in single plantings.
2. Iceberg rose, has the property of blooming more than once. If you promptly remove the inflorescences that have already faded, then in the fall you can admire new beautiful flowers.
3. This type of rose has a very amazing flower and leaf structure. The leaves have a light green shade with a characteristic shine, the flowers are double and have the shape of a larger bud.
4. This variety, in comparison with other varieties of roses, is able to grow rather quickly. In a short time, the rose is able to close the wall or facade on the site.

The climbing iceberg is used not only for landscaping squares and parks, but also for creating an original design for curbs, this is due to it:

• resistance to temperature drop;
• long flowering period;
• unpretentiousness to growing conditions.

Growing and planting in open ground

The agricultural technique of roses is similar for many varieties. But it should be borne in mind that neglecting at least one rule for caring for a plant can lead to a slowdown in growth and a deterioration in flowering.

Saplings

The purchase of planting material should be treated very responsibly.

Important! You should not save and purchase rose seedlings from unverified sellers. Better to shop at a nursery or garden center

Before buying, you should carefully inspect the plant. There should be no signs of disease on it, the leaves should be shiny and evenly colored. If possible, it is necessary to examine the root system as well. It should be well developed and free from damaged or dried roots.

It is better to purchase seedlings that have reached the age of 2-3 years. Their survival rate is higher due to a more developed root system.

Boarding time

When determining the timing of planting, one should be guided by the peculiarities of the climate. In regions with a temperate climate, both spring and autumn are suitable for planting.

In more severe climatic conditions, planting can also be carried out both in the spring and in the fall. However, the timing will vary. In the spring they should be shifted to a later date, and in the fall - to an earlier one.

The average planting time in spring is mid-April - mid-May, for autumn - late August-September.

Important! It is very important to observe the timing of planting seedlings, especially for regions with a cold climate, for example, such as Siberian. Planting too late or too early threatens plant loss

Seat selection

Like many re-flowering roses, the climbing rose Iceberg prefers sunny locations, protected from strong winds and drafts.

It is also worth avoiding places of close occurrence of groundwater and stagnation of melt water. The roots of roses do not tolerate waterlogging, this threatens them with decay and the development of a fungus.

Planting too close to building walls is also not recommended. There should be a gap between the support with shoots and the wall for free air circulation.

Note! You should not plant seedlings in the place of the previous growth of roses. The soil in such areas is not only depleted, but can also be contaminated with diseases.

Soil and plant preparation

Before proceeding directly to planting rose seedlings in the ground, it is necessary to carry out a number of specific activities.

Any rose, including the Iceberg variety, is demanding on the soil. She needs a nutritious and light soil. It should be prepared before planting the plant.

The soil for planting is prepared in advance.

If possible, soil replacement is performed throughout the entire planting site. When digging, it is necessary to add peat, compost or rotted manure and the required dose of mineral fertilizers. It is better to do this in the fall or 2-3 months before planting.

If the digging of the entire site is impossible or not necessary, the required amount of soil is prepared separately in a container. It is then used during planting to fill the planting pit.

The plant should also be prepared before planting.Potted seedlings are watered the day before planting to make it easier to remove from the pot.

After extraction, it is necessary to examine the root system. Too long and damaged roots are cut off.

Important! 2-3 hours before planting, the young plant is placed in water

You can add a drug to it to stimulate growth.

Landing

The technology of planting roses in the ground implies a sequence of actions and accuracy in their implementation. This will determine how complete the growth and flowering of the rose will be.

Planting roses must be done correctly

The process of planting seedlings itself can be divided into several sequential steps.

1. Dig a hole of such a size that there is a space between the root system and its walls of 2-3 cm.
2. The prepared soil is poured in such a way that a hill is formed.
3. The seedling is placed on the surface of the mound and the roots are spread over its surface.
4. Fill the hole to the edge with the rest of the soil and lightly tamp the surface.
5. The planting is watered at the rate of 1-2 buckets per seedling.

For your information! In case of improper planting, there may be a need for a transplant, and this is unnecessary stress for the plant.

The specifics of growing

"Dukat" is planted on fertile, drained soils, sheltered from the wind, and sunny. Light partial shade is acceptable. The planting hole is prepared according to the standard rules for all roses:

The organic matter embedded in the hole provides

The yellow flowers of the Dukat rose subtly harmonize with the dark green glossy foliage. The variety is suitable for framing decorative supports and ceilings of any type.

the seedling is nourished throughout the year. Additional feeding begins from the second season. Nitrogen fertilizers are applied in spring, phosphorus and potash fertilizers in summer.

"Dukat" is resistant to powdery mildew and all kinds of spots. To maintain healthy foliage, a single spring preventive treatment is sufficient. But this variety is not immune from the attack of pests. When rose aphids, leafworms, scale insects, spider mites appear on the leaves, urgent treatment with appropriate insecticides is required.

Expert recommendation: “Take a glass of ash and kerosene, add a little tobacco broth, stir everything thoroughly in a soapy solution. Spray the plants with the resulting preparation. The aphids will disappear completely in a couple of days. ”

IV Michurin - Russian breeder, gardener-geneticist.

The main care for a Dukat rose is to form a bush. Cutting technology is shown in the table:

To provide an air gap over the bent stems, a frame is constructed, on which covering material is laid with the onset of frost.

Garter rules:

• The whips must be firmly fixed to the support so that they are not damaged by the wind.
• The garter should not overtighten or cut into the stems.
• Use only plastic twine as a garter (metal wire injures shoots, cotton cords absorb moisture and rot).
• Regularly check the strength of the supports (a collapsed frame can irrevocably destroy the entire bush).

For the winter, "Dukat" is covered with an air-dry method, after having treated the bush with copper sulphate and removing the lashes from the supports.

Diseases and pests
