Description of the variety

The varieties of park roses brought from Canada get along well in a harsh climate, without requiring special preparation for winter conditions. They are hybrids of wild rose hips and rugosa rose, forming shrubs with lush foliage to the ground, delighting with large flowers with a faint smell.

We correctly propagate and plant a park rose

For reproduction of a favorite variety roses use several breeding methods:

• In the off-season, before the buds bloom on the roses, the bush is dug out by cutting off its branches. With the help of a sharp tool - a pruner, a knife - they divide the plant into parts so that each has at least one shoot. After that, the resulting bushes are planted, deepening them five centimeters into the ground. Do not forget about watering, hilling roses after planting.
• Near the mother bush, straight shoots are often visible, offspring that do not have their own roots. After rooting, a year later, they are separated from the mother, planting in a new place.
• Breeding method cuttings suitable for the variety of park John Davis, but requires special preparation and diligence. Cuttings with one or two internodes from a flower are taken in the middle of summer, having prepared a special greenhouse for planting them. First, they dig a hole, filling it halfway with fresh manure. After that, it is covered with a film, leaving it for a week to warm up. After that, soil is poured, consisting of fertile soil: the same amount of humus is mixed with peat, adding a little river sand on top. The cuttings are placed in the soil to a depth of 2 centimeters with a lower oblique cut, having previously processed it with Kornevin.After that, it is imperative to spray the plantings with water and cover them with foil. Planted cuttings are watered and ventilated daily. As soon as callus appears after 2-3 weeks, the cover is removed. And after 15 days, development will occur root system... In autumn breeding, the bushes are left in a greenhouse, and in the spring they are planted in a permanent place.
