Flower propagation
Flower reproduction is carried out in the spring, when the air temperature is set at a positive mark, and the soil has thawed. This can be done in several ways:
- seeds that are purchased from well-known companies and planted in open ground in mid-April;
- vegetatively, in which cuttings are used for propagation;
- division, in which a part is separated from a large bush together with the root system and transplanted into a separate place.
Important! When propagating a bush by cuttings, it is necessary to pick up twigs with a length of at least 15 centimeters, on which there are at least three buds. This ensures that the plant takes root and grows further.

Care rules
Properly organized care promotes good growth and abundant flowering of a green rose, which implies compliance with some rules.
- Watering should be systematic and abundant. But an excess of moisture must not be allowed, which leads to rotting of the roots and further death of the plant. You should regularly check the moisture content of the soil under the bush and water it as needed.
- Watering should be accompanied by loosening the soil under the bush. This should be done after all the water has been absorbed. Weeds are removed at the same time. Mulching the soil near the bush not only retains moisture, but also inhibits the growth of weeds.
- The plant is fed every 2 weeks. Fertilization begins 14 days after planting the seedling. They also use organic matter that improves the growth of green mass (this is especially necessary in spring) and mineral fertilizers that support abundant flowering and form resistance to cold (they are applied in summer and autumn).
- A systematic inspection of the bush allows you to timely detect a disease or the presence of pests and start combating them.
It is necessary to carry out an annual sanitary pruning of the bush - cut off outdated, dry and with signs of disease stems, as well as form a bush - remove unnecessary shoots that interfere with other branches.
It is important to prepare roses in time for winter. Peat mulch and humus are often used to cover the shrub.
The use of other insulating material is also permissible.
In the spring, at the first heat, the insulation is removed, as it can lead to decay of the roots. The shelter can be left until the onset of stable heat, but then you need to do regular ventilation of the roots.
After the final removal of the shelter, the bush must be sprayed with copper sulfate for disinfection.
Correct neighborhood with other crops also has a beneficial effect on the growth of the rose. The green beauty can be combined in the garden with other flowering plants - bell and sage, foxglove and lobelia, thyme and lavender, oregano, carnation and viola, perennial berry bushes. Dahlias and gladioli have an overwhelming effect on the rose, so their neighborhood is undesirable.

Types and varieties of anemone for the garden
Roses by David Austin - the professionals advise ...
About new products ...
Elegantly folded petals, pastel colors, nostalgic flower shape, maddening scent, abundant re-blooming - for this, Russian rose growers have always loved David Austin's roses.
And its latest novelties have another undoubted advantage - healthy foliage. Put the fungicide sprayer aside and admire these wonderful varieties! The elegant, elongated apricot-yellow buds of the 'Bathsheba' climbing rose open into dense double flowers in the form of shallow cups about 10 cm in diameter.
The petals are tightly gathered into exquisite rosettes: the front side of each is painted in a rich apricot tone with a barely noticeable pink tint, and the back side is yellow. This play of color, combined with a frame of lighter, creamy outer petals, creates the impression that the flower is glowing from within. The rose exudes a myrrh scent, floral and warm, with a hint of honey.
And in a mature flower, you can catch a light scent of a tea rose.
The Imogen rose is distinguished by the most abundant flowering, but it is interesting to observe it even when it is still in bud. Narrow, with a pointed apex, before opening, they sharply "gain weight" and become more rounded. Light lemon-yellow petals are collected in classic double rosettes with a button, medium-sized flowers. Over time, they fade to a creamy shade, turning into a charming "mess". The aroma is light, fresh, with apple notes. The bush is powerful, upright. The name of the variety was given by the heroine of one of Shakespeare's plays.
Another tribute to the work of the famous English poet and playwright is the long-blooming Desdemona rose - the owner of peach-pink buds and pure white cupped flowers (at the beginning of dissolution they have a faint pink blush). Over time, they open a little more - so that stamens can be seen among the delicate atlas of petals. The flowers, exuding the scent of myrrh, hold their shape even in rainy weather. A powerful, loose and wide bush will fit both a traditional rose garden and a mixborder with perennials.
Roald Dahl cultivar. David Austin dedicated the centenary of the birth of the famous English writer and screenwriter Roald Dahl.
The reddish-orange, ripe peach-colored buds open, turning into cupped rosettes of medium size and a lighter, apricot tone. The bush blooms almost continuously, and the flowers, despite their elegance, endure inclement weather. The light, enchanting aroma of a tea rose is mixed with fruity notes. The bush is round and branched, and the small number of thorns makes the care of this sensual beauty extremely pleasant.
Rose The Ancient Mariner from the beginning of summer until frost, without the slightest hint of a break, delights with abundant flowering. The petals of very large, cupped, densely double pink flowers are elegantly curved towards the center. The aroma is intense, warm, myrrh. A fully blooming flower shows stamens, and the color of the petals changes from deep pink in the center to light at the edges. The bush will be good in the middle or background of flower beds and in solitary planting.
The Poet's Wife is a gorgeous rose with deep yellow flowers. If they fade, then they are not whitish, like other yellow "ostinki". Their shape is mesmerizingly beautiful: a ring of neatly folded outer petals surrounds the less rigid inner petals.
The bush is low and naturally round in shape (it grows in breadth rather than upward), so it is ideal for the foreground of flower beds. Rose has a bright, rich aroma: at first, lemon notes are clearly distinguished in it, with the age of the flower it becomes sweeter and stronger. David Austin dedicated this variety to his wife. And if you didn't know - yes, this famous rose grower writes poetry!
Olivia Rose Austin is named after David Osti Jr.'s daughter, so this is a really special rose. According to David Austin Sr., it may even be the best rose of his selection presented to date.
This charming woman has flowers of an old form: the goblet buds gradually open into small chalice-shaped rosettes up to 9 cm in diameter. They are good at all stages of dissolution. The color is a charming delicate shade of pink. The fragrance of the rose is divine: it has a strong aroma with distinct fruity notes. Grows vigorously and blooms well again.
Flower propagation
Reproduction of a green rose can be done by seeds, dividing the bush and cuttings. The latter method is most common among gardeners.
To reproduce by cuttings, shrubs grown in greenhouse conditions are needed. Cuttings left over from last year must be stored under special conditions.
Harvesting of planting material is carried out in the spring. Young, strong branches are cut under the lower leaf and above the upper bud. The stalk should be 15-17 cm long and have at least 3 buds. The cut stem is planted in the ground at a slight angle and greenhouse conditions are created for it. After about 14 days, the first roots appear, after which the rooted branch is transplanted to a permanent place.

Having combined all the components, the mask must be applied to the skin twice a week before bedtime. You need to keep the composition for about 15-20 minutes, and then remove it with water. The effectiveness will be maximal when you complete the full course, which will be at least two months.
To smooth out wrinkles, the oil is used in this home remedy: a teaspoon of honey, a spoonful of oatmeal, one yolk, 2 drops of orange oil and 3 drops of rosewood oil.
