Recommendations for growing roses Rosarium Utersen
The rose is often called a capricious flower, so many novice gardeners try to bypass it. However, such a statement is highly doubtful. For example, the climbing rose of the Rosarium Utersen variety is considered one of the most unpretentious to care for.
Site and soil selection
Lush and long flowering is the result of the right location for planting the shrub. The flower loves sufficient sunlight. In the presence of shade or even partial shade, the decorative qualities of the plant are significantly impaired. In addition, the area should be well ventilated, but protected from drafts.
A well-drained, moderately light and nutrient-rich substrate is suitable for growing the variety. The optimum level of soil acidity is 5.6–6.5 pH.
Landing algorithm
How successful the cultivation of a braided rose will be depends on the quality of the planting material. It is better to buy varietal seedlings in gardening shops and specialized nurseries. Material suitable for planting has at least three healthy shoots, a well-developed root system and a dark green root collar.
High-quality planting material is the key to successful crop cultivation
It is better to plant a seedling in the ground in early autumn - no later than mid-September. The plant manages to adapt to the new environment before the onset of the first frost. For a more successful and quick rooting, it is recommended to soak the rose root in the growth biostimulator "Kornevin" or "Heteroauxin" before planting.
The approximate size of the hole is 50x50 cm. The recommended "step" between the holes is 1–2 m. If the flowers are planted close to a wall or fence, they maintain a distance of 30–50 cm. The planting hole is laid out with drainage materials and sprinkled with soil enriched with fertilizers. The seedling is planted at an angle, while the root collar should be deepened by 3-6 cm.
Watering and fertilization rules
The first year, the flower is watered often - about 1 time per week. In the future, the intervals between watering are increased. An adult bush is watered once every 10-14 days. You need to navigate by the degree of drying of the top layer of the soil. But it is worth noting that the variety does not like excess moisture in the soil.
We recommend watering the climbing rose Rosarium Utersen along the edge of the tree-trunk circle. Otherwise, the abundantly growing root processes will not have enough moisture.
Author's advice
A blooming ornamental culture needs additional feeding. You can fertilize the shrub according to the scheme described below:
- first decade of May - urea solution;
- second decade of May - complex mineral compositions for flowering plants;
- budding period - phosphorus-containing fertilizers;
- first decade of July - mullein diluted with water;
- first decade of September - potash and phosphorus preparations.
Never fertilize dry soil. This method of feeding can provoke a burn of the root system. First, the bush is watered, then fed.
Rationing and pruning of shrubs
Since the buds are formed on the shoots of the current and last years, it is necessary to cut the shrub in a timely manner. Young branches that do not bud are cut off. Also, be sure to remove dry and broken branches.
There are three grades of climbing rose pruning: strong, moderate and light. A description of each of the options is presented in the following table:
Climbing rose pruning options
Preparation for wintering
The flower needs additional shelter for the winter. The root part of the bush is mulched abundantly with peat, dry opal foliage and small spruce twigs.The branches of a climbing rose are collected in bunches, bent to the surface of the earth and covered with pine spruce branches. From above, the plant can be insulated with burlap.
Landing features
You need to plant the Utersen rose in certain places, take into account the time of year. The landing does not imply any special technological nuances. The main thing is to prepare the soil, come up with a structure in the future to reinforce the stems, and water the flower in a timely manner.
The best planting material is a grafted seedling bought at the market or in a store, preferably from trusted sellers. It needs to be prepared.
- Examine the rhizome, cut off the damaged parts.
- Dip the seedling into a clay mash.
After the seedling is ready for planting.
Site selection and soil preparation
It is better to plant a rose in a lighted place where the north wind does not blow, there are no drafts. The plot on the plot should be with a slight slope or located on an elevated part. This will prevent the shrub from over-wetting. To avoid depletion of the branches, do not plant the rose closer than 50 centimeters to the wall. The same distance should be maintained near other "neighbors".
It is forbidden to grow Utersen rose in low, dark or too wet areas, in the shade of tree crowns. This location has a detrimental effect on the general development of the shrub.
Landing time and technology
Experienced gardeners advise planting the Utersen rose in the month of March, before bud formation. The earth should warm up to 10 degrees. In the southern strip, they are engaged in planting work in the fall. Before planting, dig a hole, clean the area of weeds, debris, and dig it up with a spatula.
- For digging, add wood ash in the amount of 0.5 kg per square meter.
- The size of the pit should be 8-10 centimeters deep and 0.5-0.6 meters in diameter.
- Pour a layer of drainage from small pebbles on the bottom. Combine part of the earth with rotted manure, add to the hole. There should be at least 30 centimeters to the top.
- After planting, water the flower abundantly, wait until the water is absorbed and high, at a level of 20 centimeters, spud. Shoots are shortened by 1/3.
Rose care rules Rosarium Utersen
For the rose garden in the garden to delight with beautiful flowers, the plants need constant care.
Pink climbing roses Rosarium Utersen should be given special attention:
- watering;
- loosen the soil;
- remove weeds;
- feed.
And also mulch the trunk circle with compost. It is imperative to cut the bush every year, carry out preventive treatments against pests and diseases.
Watering
The climbing rose Rosarium Uthersen needs watering most after planting and during flowering. In summer, in hot and dry weather, the bushes are watered 2-3 times a week, well soaking the soil in the trunk circle. The next day, the moist soil is loosened so that a crust does not form on its surface, which interferes with the respiration of the roots. You can mulch the soil around the bushes with humus or well-rotted horse manure.
Top dressing
The first fertilizer is applied before planting. For this, the soil is prepared in advance by adding ash and compost to the site. The next important period is spring. Climbing roses Rosarium Utersen are especially in need of feeding at this time. It is best to use nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizers: carbamide or urea and superphosphate (10 g for each bush). At the same time, compost or well-rotted manure is introduced.
During the year, 3 types of dressing are used for climbing roses:
- dry - compost;
- liquid - fertilizer "Green Boom" or other;
- granulated - granules "Green Boom".
Since July, nitrogen fertilization is stopped.
Advice! During flowering, climbing roses need potassium, it is found in complex fertilizers and potassium nitrate.
Trimming and shaping
A trellis, steel pegs or arches can be used as a support for the climbing rose of the Rosarium Uthersen
Pruning is an important part of your annual grooming.In order for the climbing rose Rosarium Utersen to bloom along the entire height of the bush, it is best to carry out a combined pruning
Process description:
- thin and weak shoots are cut short in spring;
- strong branches cut by half the height;
- the most powerful whips do not touch.
With this method of pruning, the shoots will be of different lengths, and in the summer the buds will bloom from the base of the bush to the very top.
Protection from diseases and pests
For the climbing rose Rosarium Utersen to grow and bloom well, it must be healthy. Numerous pests increase activity in late spring:
- The most common pest of climbing roses is the rose aphid. You can get rid of it with the help of folk remedies, for example, nettle infusion.
- The descending rosaceous sawfly is also dangerous. His presence is betrayed by drooping shoots. It is difficult to deal with an insect that eats shoots from the inside. Spring preventive treatment with insecticides is useful.
- Weevils gnaw the buds and lay eggs in them. Withered buds must be collected, and the bushes must be sprayed with insecticides.
In addition, thrips, rose leafhoppers, and spider mites parasitize on climbing roses. Preventive spring spraying with insectoacaricides is effective against all types of pests.
Various diseases can be more dangerous than insects:
- black spot - for prevention, the bushes are sprayed with the preparations "Skor" and "Topaz";
- downy mildew and late blight - Ridomil Gold is used to combat the disease, the affected shoots are cut off and burned;
- powdery mildew - an effective method of control is wood ash treatment, the leaves are moistened with water, sprinkled with ash powder for 2 hours, then washed off well.
Often diseases and pests are brought into the garden together with new seedlings, and then they try to get rid of them for a long time and unsuccessfully. To prevent this from happening, immediately after planting, the seedlings are treated with fungicides and insecticides.
Shelter for the winter
In the fall, before the onset of frost, the shoots of the climbing rose are removed from the support, cut a little and bent to the ground. An air-dry shelter is erected on top. When the temperature drops to -5 ° C, the covering material is pulled over the frame.
Important! In cold climates, the climbing rose Rosarium Utersen hibernates under a double layer of spunbond. Oilcloth is also used to cover young seedlings so that they do not get wet

Growing difficulties
The main difficulties that both a beginner and an experienced gardener may encounter when growing a climbing rose of the Rosarium Utersen variety:
- slow plant development: this process can have several reasons, often it is the result of a gross mistake when choosing a place for planting (wrong type of soil, insufficient amount of solar radiation, depressing water regime, etc.);
- infestation of the bush with pests: the process occurs due to the lack of ventilation of the bush during excessive waterlogging of the soil;
- decreased flowering activity: the phenomenon is closely dependent on top dressing, therefore, the plant must be nourished during the active growing season;
- low-quality planting material: cuttings or layering must have a healthy appearance, and there must be at least 3-4 viable buds on their surface.
Climbing rose varieties "Rosarium Utersen" is an elegant and unique plant. The variety is able to cultivate any lifeless space, give it brightness and surprise with its aroma. However, in order for your bush to bring only joy for a long time, the rose requires careful maintenance and daily attention in the first months of the growing season. Only in this case, you can expect abundant and prolonged flowering of the bush.
Use in landscape design
"Rosarium Utersen" looks beautiful both in the case of a bush planting, and when tied to a support. A fairly common option in landscape design is to put roses around the edge of the gazebo. This will be a real paradise, which is written about in fairy tales. The same effect can be achieved by placing the shoots along the terrace railing. If you put branches along the trellises, you can thus visually divide the site into several zones, while the borders of each will exude a sweet aroma.
If the above listed methods seem slightly pretentious, then you can simply plant the culture with a separate bush, which will become the main decoration of the garden and will rise above the rest of the flowering plants. If an unsightly outbuilding is installed on the lawn, which cannot be removed in any way, then you can hide it under pink branches. Also, many gardeners place whips on the facade of a building that has any defects - pink buds and dense foliage will hide any flaws. For the same purpose, roses can be stretched around dead trees and bare posts.
If you plant a culture on a trunk, then it will be a small tree with a rounded crown covered with bright buds. Such compositions will look beautiful along the garden path. If there are few specimens, then you can put two trees opposite each other along the edges of the entrance gate.
Rose in any form will be beautifully combined with blue-violet plants such as lavender, bells, pansies growing at the foot of the shrub. Very delicate pink flowers will look next to white and blue.Evergreen trees look beautiful next to climbing roses. It is recommended to avoid red and orange shades near the rosebush - these are not very good combinations.
Rose "Rosarium Utersen": instructions for growing
Rosarium Utersen does not like drafts. But also insufficient air circulation will negatively affect the growth and development of the plant. Therefore, when planting several bushes next to each other, it is not recommended to place them too close to each other. The optimal distance between plants is 0.5 m.
Water stagnation should also be avoided. Therefore, you will have to abandon the cultivation of rose bushes in the lowlands. And also in areas where the groundwater level is close to the earth's surface. When placing roses near buildings, it is necessary to maintain a distance of at least 0.5 m between them and the walls of buildings. If there are other plants with wide roots in the neighborhood, it is better to plant Rosarium Utersen away from them. At a distance of 1m to avoid competition for food and moisture.
The depth of the planting hole is 0.5 - 0.7 m. The diameter is not less than 0.5 m. Half a bucket of organic fertilizer should be added to the soil at its bottom. For example, rotted manure. And also thoroughly moisturize. It will not hurt to create a drainage layer of pebbles or rubble. As this will allow excess water to be diverted and to avoid stagnation in the soil.
Then the neatly spread root system of the seedling is lowered into the hole. And it is sprinkled with earth so that the neck is covered by 5-6 cm. After planting, it is necessary to thoroughly water the seedling and sprinkle it by 0.2 m. In the first weeks, the seedlings will need a lot of moisture. They should be watered every five days. Gradually reduce the number of waterings to once every two weeks.
To water an adult bush, you will need about 12 liters of water. It should be remembered that the water for irrigation must first settle. And also be well warmed up. It is much more beneficial to water the roses less often and more abundantly than often and little by little. In the latter case, only the top layer of the soil will be moistened. And the roots won't get enough moisture.
The history of the creation of the Rosarium Utersen variety
Rose Tequila
Rosarium Uetersen is a large-flowered rose from the German collection. The variety was obtained by crossing the Karlsruhe rose with an unknown seedling in 1957. This cross was obtained by Reimer Cordes, one of the founders of the company for the selection and production of roses "Wilhelm Cordes and Sons".
The name of the variety is associated with the Uetersen rose garden, which is one of the largest and oldest in Germany. The variety received its registration in 1977. There are two variations of it:
- Rose Uetersen Rosenprinzessin (Rose Uetersens Rosenprinzessin) - has double, blooming all season flowers of pale pink color. A powerful and vigorous plant reaches a height of 150 cm. The size of the whole bush is 150 × 100 cm. Uetersens Rosenprinzessin is a rose with very strong shoots. Leaves are medium, glossy, dark green;
- Rose Uetersen Rosenkonigin (Rose Uetersens Rosenkonigin) - has dense double flowers of salmon-red color. Each bud has up to 75 petals. Uetersens Rosenkonigin is a lightly scented rose. Rose Uterzens Rosenkonigin blooms profusely, up to frost. During the period of mass flowering, from 5 to 10 flowers are located on one peduncle at once.
Subsequent flowering waves
Further flowering will not be as abundant. And by the beginning of autumn, only a few flowers may remain on the bush. But even in small quantities, they exude a delicate aroma. With apple notes and a touch of wild rose. The Rosarium Utersen variety has excellent immunity. It is also highly resistant to disease. To protect against fungal infections, the rose can be sprayed with fungicidal preparations. For example, copper oxychloride (solution "HOM" 0.4%).
This should be done even before the buds appear, in the spring. In mid-September, spraying with iron vitriol (solution 3%) is recommended.In the periods between flowering waves, rose bushes can be treated with an ash solution with the addition of laundry soap. And also herbal infusions. If the bush is affected by gray rot or rust, the use of Bordeaux liquid or a solution of copper sulfate is indicated. A bush infected with rot must be transplanted. And treat it twice with Fundazol. With an interval of 2 weeks.
Sometimes roses are threatened by pests. For example, thrips, roseworm and aphids. To scare them away, it is enough to plant marigolds next to rose bushes. If the infection does occur, you will have to use insecticides. Remove and destroy parts of the plant affected by pests. The variety "Rosarium Utersen" tolerates winter colds well down to -30 degrees. As well as windy weather and lingering rains.
Landing rules
When planting a climbing rose, it is necessary to take into account some of the features of this popular decorative culture:
- spring planting delays the formation of flowers for about a couple of weeks, and care for a plant planted during this period needs more competent and thorough;
- the standard depth for planting climbing rose bushes always depends on the location of the graft, which must be buried by about 8-10 cm;
- deep planting is able to create the most favorable conditions for the full growth and development of a cultivated rose scion;
- when planting a grafted climbing rose in spring, the shoots must be shortened by a couple of buds;
- the area for planting and growing a climbing rose should be well illuminated by sunlight in the first half of the day;
- the soil on the plot set aside for the cultivation of the rose variety "Rosarium Uetersen" must be sufficiently fertile;
- it is unacceptable to plant roses on acidified soils with poor air permeability and permeability;
- the site should not be located in a lowland where stagnation of cold air masses or water is observed.

Do you know that:
“Frost-resistant” varieties of garden strawberries (more often simply “strawberries”) need shelter as well as ordinary varieties (especially in those regions where there are snowless winters or frosts alternating with thaws). All strawberries have shallow roots. This means that without shelter, they freeze out. Assurances of sellers that strawberries are "frost-hardy", "winter-hardy", "endure frosts down to -35 ℃", etc., is a deception. Gardeners should remember that the root system of strawberries has never been changed.
Landing
For the successful engraftment of a rose in a new area, you must adhere to certain rules. For planting, it is advisable to purchase seedlings with bare roots or in containers. When choosing a seedling, make sure that there are at least three live shoots on it. When choosing a site, try to find the sunniest, so the flower will bloom more abundantly. If you are going to decorate the wall of the house with a climbing rose, then when installing the trellis, leave at least five centimeters between the wall and the seedling (for good air circulation). Dig a hole for a young bush about 50-60 centimeters deep, and cover the bottom with compost. Before planting, shorten the root to 25 centimeters and soak it in water for several hours. Prune the shoots as well. Place the seedling obliquely so that the graft is 5 centimeters deep in the soil. Shrubs planted in the fall are best accepted. The young bush must be covered with straw and brushwood. And in the spring, release the rose and cut off the dry shoots.
Growing and care
Rose variety Rosarium Utersen loves sunny, warm places with good ventilation.For a seedling, it is necessary to prepare a hole, the depth and width of which is 50 cm. The soil must be drained and fertile, saturated with humus.
You should not choose clay and sandy areas. It is recommended to put rotted manure at the bottom of the hole; about 5 kg of organic fertilizer is needed for one bush. The seedling is immersed in the hole, deepening the neck by 6 cm.
Rosarium Utersen is best planted in the autumn, before the frost begins. After planting, the bush must be covered immediately. If planting is carried out in spring, it is not necessary to cover the plant.
Caring for the shrub includes timely watering with settled water under the root, loosening, mulching the soil and weeding. In warm summer, you need to irrigate the rose once a week with one bucket of water.
On dry days, watering should be carried out more often, not allowing the topsoil to completely dry out. Top dressing is carried out several times per season, the plant needs to be fertilized with nitrogen and mineral complexes, it is recommended to add organic fertilizer to the soil once a year, for example, humus or compost.
The high climber Rosarium Utersen needs to be pruned regularly. Spring pruning is necessary to heal the shrub and give it the desired shape. Thanks to the cut, the shrub can be given an intricate shape, make an arch or a flowering tree with a lush crown out of it.

Agrotechnology of cultivation and features of rose care
Despite the fact that the seedling can be planted in the spring, the most favorable period for this process is autumn. Before planting a seedling in the soil, it is necessary to trim its roots to 25 cm, and also keep them for 5-6 hours in water to which a growth stimulator has been added. Then you can proceed to planting.
Note! In order for the plant to bloom for a long period and delight with lush buds, it needs a place illuminated by the sun that is well ventilated. A hole is dug in a depth and width of 50 cm
First, organic fertilizer is added to it, for example, sufficiently moistened rotted manure. Only then the seedling is immersed in the hole. Its neck and roots are covered with soil. At least half a bucket of fertilizer is added to one hole
A hole is dug to a depth and width of 50 cm. Organic fertilizer is first added to it, for example, sufficiently moistened rotted manure. Only then the seedling is immersed in the hole. Its neck and roots are covered with soil. At least half a bucket of fertilizer is added to one hole.
The neck of the seedling should be covered with soil by 5-6 cm.
If the planting was carried out in the autumn, it is necessary to cover the seedling with a non-woven material. In the case when the planting was carried out in the spring, it is not necessary to cover the plant.
The rose also needs pruning.
The rose likes humus-rich, well-drained and moderately moist soil. Caring for the plant consists in carrying out timely watering, fertilizing the soil, and pruning the bush.
In the summer, the rose is irrigated once a week. Irrigation is carried out at the rate of at least 1 bucket of water for each bush. In the event that the summer turned out to be dry, watering is carried out more often. In this case, irrigation is carried out as the top layer of the earth dries up.
Note! It is necessary to fertilize young seedlings that are less than 3 years old. This procedure can be carried out with both organic and mineral fertilizers.
Bushes should be fertilized 4-5 times per season after planting in the first three years. From the 4th year, the amount of dressings is reduced to 2 times a season.
The rose also needs pruning. It is better to spend it in spring or autumn. Pruning not only helps to prevent the bushes from getting too thick, but also ensures a long and plentiful flowering period.
Through pruning, Rosarium Uetersen is grown as a shrub up to 2 meters high and wide. It can also be grown in the form of a climbing tree with shoots up to 3 meters long. In this case, the flower must be tied to a support. Reproduction is carried out by cuttings and rooting of cuttings.
