Do these roses have a problem?

In young plants, during the period of adaptation to new conditions, too thin shoots are formed, on which large flowers droop, which makes it impossible to admire the flowering, the bushes sometimes fall apart. You can cope with this problem by installing circular supports about half the height of the bush in order to collect the bush in a "bouquet". When the rose takes root and gains strength, this problem usually disappears. There are also erect varieties that do not require support - English Garden, Falstaff, Leander, Queen of sweden other.

A number of varieties do not tolerate wet and rainy weather well. If flowering was preceded by a long period of rains, then the dense double flowers, numbering more than a hundred petals, rot, and the buds may simply not open. Blooming flowers with delicate petals lose their decorative effect. The author of the varieties did not consider this a problem, accepted it as inevitable losses, and no special selection for resistance to rainy weather was carried out. Recently, however, old varieties have been removed from the assortment, including due to the weak resistance of flowers to rain. The varieties most sensitive to dampness are sold in countries with dry climates.
In the southern regions, in dry hot weather, roses fade very quickly, the petals fall off in 2-3 days. This property brings disappointment to weekend summer residents - a week ago there were buds, and on your next visit to the dacha you see fallen petals. For the southern regions, David Austin's nursery recommends Benjamin Britten, Charlotte, Golden Celebration, Lady Emma Hamilton, Lady of Shalott, Moulinex and some others.

Rose varieties for cold climates
The Siberian climate is known to be characterized by late spring, short summers and severe winters. To withstand such conditions, plants must initially be regionalized in the local climate. Those. by the degree of survival rate, the seedlings grown in Siberian nurseries are in the lead. Gardeners give the second place to Canadian roses, because the climate of this country is similar to the Siberian one. Unfortunately, real Canadian roses are rare.This category of plants is too attractive to buyers, so it is most often counterfeited. It is better to purchase Canadian varieties only from a reliable supplier, and, of course, not from hands or from the market.
The second selection criterion is vaccination. According to statistics, grafted varieties of roses in Siberia endure winters much easier and do not freeze, because they have higher immunity. The stock for a varietal rose is usually a rosehip, and its immune system is much more resilient than that of its own rose roots.
Here is what, according to Siberian gardeners, the five most unpretentious and winter-hardy varieties of roses look like:
Belongs to the Climber group, i.e. large-flowered climbing roses. It can also be grown as a stem. It blooms in dark pink petals with gradual fading. The size of the flower can be up to 12 cm, but the colder the climate, the smaller the inflorescences will be. The approximate size of flowers for Novosibirsk is 5-6 cm. Rosarium Uetersen is loved for its resistance to fungal infections, repeated flowering (the first is the most abundant, and then - in waves). Powerful stems are not afraid of frost or wind. Gardeners can ruin this rose unless it is properly laid for the winter, when the stems break from an unsuccessfully chosen direction of laying. The bush reaches up to 3 meters.
Rosarium Weathersen fits perfectly into arches, pergolas and other supporting structures, and if desired, it can be grown as a stem
A German variety adored in Siberia for its continuous flowering. This rose wakes up and blooms very early, and after that it practically does not remain without flowers. The flowers change color from bright orange to apricot-salmon. In diameter - up to 10 cm. It is certified by ADR as one of the most unpretentious roses.
Timely removal of fading flowers from the climbing rose Westerland stimulates the bush to active growth and the formation of new flower buds
Descendant of American roses. It blooms with delicate pink, fragrant flowers almost all season. The gardeners of Siberia gave her the nickname "Very", that is. very frost-resistant, very unpretentious (grows everywhere), very prickly, very fragrant, etc. The only caveat: recently there have been copies of New Dawn, which bloom only once. Therefore, before ordering, check the number of blooms, otherwise you can see this beauty only once, at the beginning of summer.
Siberians believe that New Down lives under the motto “Everyone will be lost, but I will stay”, because it survives in the most inhuman conditions
New generation English rose, grown by world renowned breeder David Austin. It blooms with velvety deep red flowers, gradually turning into a lilac hue. Fragrant, medium height (up to 110 cm), forms many flowering brushes on each branch
When buying, pay attention to the presence of the number 2000, since there is also an ancestor of this rose - William Sheakespeare, which does not have such a high immunity to fungal infections.
William Shakespeare 2000 - the result of selection of the English "ancestor" of the same name, which is distinguished by high immunity to diseases and excellent frost resistance
Another pet of David Austin. It blooms twice, with bright yellow large, ball-like flowers exuding a lemon-caramel scent. In cold climates it grows up to one and a half meters in height. Practically not susceptible to diseases, except for black spot. Looks great in mixborders.
Golden Celebration's sunny, large inflorescences smell like lemon candy, so they are planted near recreation areas to enjoy the wonderful aroma.
Growing ostins in Russia
However, there are many reviews of Russian gardeners from different parts of our country, including the Urals, Siberia, the Arkhangelsk region, in which gardeners share their successful experience of growing "Ostinok" in harsh conditions.
Growing ostins in Russia
The main point of growing "Ostinks" in Russia is to provide a reliable shelter. No one in the world covers roses as much as Russian gardeners.At best, they are bent down. And according to the reviews of all the same gardeners from the harsh regions, the varieties that were brought from abroad and which are not in our catalogs sometimes show themselves even better than those that are recommended for cultivation.
In 1983, at an exhibition in Chelsea (a suburb of London), David Austin presented his best varieties. Among them are Graham Thomas and Mary Rose. We can say that thanks to these varieties, the breeder and his beautiful roses have become famous all over the world.
Planting and leaving
The basic rules to consider when preparing for planting a climbing rose:
- Rose is a light-loving plant. When landing, they are oriented to the south, southeast, southwest. However, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight should also not be allowed. Otherwise, plant leaves may get burned. The plant should be in the shade for part of the day.
- The best time to plant in the middle lane is May-June. The plant can be planted in August-September, but this will be a more risky option. She may not have time to get stronger, which will affect wintering: her rose may not survive. In the first case of planting, it is possible to observe how the rose takes root and, if necessary, make adjustments.
- Before planting, it is necessary to install supports along which the plant will subsequently trail.
- Before planting, it is advisable to dig up the soil in a few weeks and apply fertilizer to it, consisting of peat, limestone and humus.
Stages of planting in the open field
Landing consists of the following stages:
- A 60x60 hole is dug between the supports. The distance between the holes should be 0.5-1 m. Between the rows 1-2 m.
- The prepared pit is watered abundantly with water.
- After watering, a fertile mixture consisting of peat, humus and sand is poured onto the bottom of the pit.
- Next, the rose seedling is placed in a hole and sprinkled with a fertile mixture. The layer of earth around the seedling is well compacted with your hands. The root collar of the plant should be deepened into the ground by 10 cm.
- After planting the seedling, the soil around the plant is well watered.
- Watering the pit with the seedling, add another layer of earth.

Care
After planting, the care of the climbing rose is extremely important. The cultivation of this plant consists of the following techniques:
- Irrigation. The flower must be watered once every 7-10 days. Watering volume at one time - a bucket of water. Do not overfill the plant. Stagnant water adversely affects the root system of the plant, which can begin to rot.
- Top dressing. In the first year of planting with top dressing, it is better not to be zealous. Active fertilization should be started from the second year after planting. Liquid organic fertilizers and complex mineral fertilizers are suitable as top dressing. They can be alternated or used together.
- The area around the rose should be constantly cleared of weeds.
- Mulching is a necessary component in caring for a rose. Peat, sawdust, expanded clay are suitable. Mulching helps to retain moisture in the soil and prevents weeds from germinating.
- Pruning. It is necessary to remove dry, diseased branches. This is best done during the fall. It is also necessary to remove buds that have faded. The best time to cut buds is summer.
Attention! The climbing rose blooms on last year's shoots. Therefore, when pruning, such shoots must be preserved.
Wintering
Some varieties have good winter hardiness, but often the rose can freeze out. It is necessary to prepare the plant for wintering. Before severe frosts, when a stable air temperature of 5-7 ° C is already kept below zero, the shoots should be carefully detached from the support and bend down near the ground. Before this time, the rose should not be covered. The plant will not have time to harden.
Additional protective material (peat, sawdust, etc.) can be put on the ground beforehand. The flower must be attached to the ground. Fasteners can be wire clamps or wooden slingshots. Bushes attached to the ground must be covered. Spruce branches or synthetic agrofibre, which protects well from the cold, serve as a shelter.
After winter, when stable warm weather with a positive temperature comes, the flower must be lifted from the ground and fixed at the main support.
Important! You can not overexpose the plant under cover for a long time after winter.
Reproduction
Reproduction of a climbing rose is possible in several ways:
- seeds;
- cuttings;
- layering.
The best and more reliable methods of propagation: by layering and cuttings.
Important! Seeds collected from flowers from a private garden do not retain the characteristics of the parent plant. Therefore, anything can grow out of them.
Cuttings are the easiest way to reproduce. You can use the stems that are still blooming, and those that have already faded.
