Climbing rose - decoration garden plot. It is often used for vertical gardening both in private estates and in public places.

The ease of forming a bush and the variety of varieties allow you to create magnificent color compositions on arches, tripods, as well as decorate the walls of buildings and create hedges.

In this article we will tell you in detail how to grow climbing roses in the garden and what conditions must be observed for healthy plant growth and flowering.

Selecting a location

Bushes climbing rose grow well and bloom profusely in sunny and ventilated places. Since the plant has vines from 2 to 5 meters, it needs to be tied to supports. These can be purchased or made independently.

Note: It is advisable that the rose receive shade for at least 2 hours a day to avoid burns of the leaves and stems.

Soil requirements are minor. When planting seedlings, the soil is prepared by adding the mineral and organic complex of fertilizers necessary for growth.

The rose takes root well in loamy and peaty soils. It tolerates drought easily, but does not tolerate wetlands. Places in the garden where groundwater is located close to the surface should be excluded, because the roots of the rose reach 2 meters.

Planting scheme and hole preparation

Rose seedlings are planted in prepared holes. Roses are light-loving plants, for the development of vines and bookmarks flower buds next year is necessary good lighting bush.

To do this, seedlings are placed at a distance of at least 50 cm from each other or from the wall.

Place a bucket of humus, 1 kg of lime, 1 bucket of sand or clay (depending on the composition of the soil on the site, if the substrate is sandy, then add clay), 3 tbsp. spoons of superphosphate.

Seedling preparation and planting

The seedlings are planted in early spring and in autumn. It is better to plant in the fall in September, then the rose will have time to take root by winter period and will begin to grow actively in early spring.

In spring, planting is carried out in April, so in the first year flowering will occur 10-15 days later than in adult plants.

You can grow a climbing rose seedling yourself from seeds, which will require persistent and painstaking work. Rose seeds are small and require stratification and very careful handling and care.
Preparation for landing proceeds as follows:

• the day before planting, soak the roots of the plant in a stimulant solution;
• cut the stems of the seedlings, leaving a height of about 30 cm, lubricate the cuts with varnish, which will prevent infections;
• all bad and long roots are removed, the cuts are treated with charcoal (can be replaced with Activated carbon, which is easy to buy at the pharmacy);
• Immediately before planting, the roots are dipped into a mash made of clay and mullein.

After preparatory work, proceed to boarding. A mound of earth is poured into the prepared hole, on which the seedling is placed.

Note: the root collar of the plant should be located 10-15 cm below ground level. This depth helps protect the bush from harsh winters.

The roots are distributed over the entire mound and covered with the rest of the soil mixture to the surface. So that there is no space left with air inside, the earth is compacted. The seedling is watered abundantly warm water or root stimulator solution. The top layer of soil is mulched with sawdust, straw or grass. This will prevent weeds from appearing and allow young plant develop well.

Rose bush care

When growing roses, the gardener should pay attention to the following points:

1. 1. Watering. Roses need abundant watering once every 8-10 days directly into the hole.
   2. Root feeding is carried out at least once every two weeks. The best fertilizer there will be a mixture of wood ash(1kg), mullein (1kg) and superphosphate (20-30g) per bucket of water. During the growing season, the rose requires at least 4 feedings. Organic, mineral and complex fertilizers are used. No fertilizing is done during the flowering period.

1. 1. Foliar feeding is carried out by spraying the leaves with a solution of complex liquid fertilizer for indoor flowers.
   2. . Spring pruning promotes the formation of the bush and regulates the duration and abundance of flowering. In spring, frozen and rotted shoots are removed. Special attention It is worth paying attention to the pruning height, which depends on the type of rose. Summer pruning carried out to stimulate new abundant flowering To do this, remove the already faded lashes.

1. 1. Forming a bush for abundant flowering. In early spring, the main canes are left on the ground for the growth of replacement shoots that will bloom the following year. When the replacement shoots reach a height of 50 cm, the main shoots are raised and placed in a horizontal or spiral position.
   2. Treatment against diseases and pests. Carried out as needed. The main diseases to which climbing roses are susceptible: powdery mildew, rust, bacterial cancer, black spot. Solutions are used to prevent and treat these ailments. copper sulfate(200g per 10l), iron sulfate (300g per 10l), Bordeaux mixture (200-300g per 10l). Used against pests chemicals(Iskra, Fufafon, Intavir).

Attention: cut off and destroy all damaged shoots so that diseases do not spread to healthy shoots.

Beautiful garden decoration with roses (photo)

It is believed that the rose itself is a decoration and does not need company. But the “queen,” as the rose is recognized, needs a “retinue” in garden design, where it is dominant, and this is not at all a bad option for the overall decorative perception.

If you are a big rose lover, you should create a rose garden in your garden. It is set up in a large open ground area. It is an independent composition that emphasizes the beauty of your site.

When decorating a garden with roses, the rose garden is laid in a regular or landscape style in the form of a huge flower garden, which is dissected by paths into separate sectors. A fountain, pool, sculptures, vases, arches, trellises, pergolas, etc. can be included in the overall composition of the rose garden layout.

As you can see in the photo, for roses in landscape design, the main background on which these plants are placed in appropriate groups can be a lawn:

Evergreens and deciduous shrubs are used to highlight and emphasize individual details.

In the rose garden you can imagine all groups of roses: border roses, and even potted roses. The goal of displaying the largest assortment of roses in landscape design should not be set. It is necessary to carefully consider and select groups and varieties of plants in such a way as to obtain the greatest decorative effect in the created colorful and voluminous composition.

Before you decorate your rose garden beautifully, decide on the shape and size of the groups. They are determined depending on the scale and nature of the layout of the rose garden; At the same time, the requirements for winter protection must be taken into account. The latter makes it necessary to plant roses in relatively small isolated groups of a simple configuration. Volumetric groups are created from hybrid tea and remontant roses in the background. Polyanthus roses should be planted in the foreground in garden landscape design, as they are distinguished by the most abundant and long-lasting flowering. The edge of the rose garden is lined with border roses. If the site has a slope oriented to the south or west, it is appropriate to plant ground cover roses.

Pay attention to the photo - when decorating a site with roses, taking into account the biological and decorative features of these plants, mix groups rose bushes in plantings you should not:

Along with roses, perennials should also be planted in the rose garden, which will replenish flowering in the early spring and serve as a backdrop for displaying the decorative merits of roses.

Before you start designing a site, you need to carefully think through and weigh everything.

First, you need to assess the capabilities of the area, its illumination, soil conditions, and size. In the design of the site, roses should be given both a bright place protected from the wind and a sufficient amount of nutrition - they suffer if, for example, a tree growing nearby takes away from them nutrients and creates shadow. Other roses planted too close may also become competitors. Therefore, it is very important to foresee such moments in advance.

As for the design approach, the use of roses provides the broadest possibilities. This universal plant for design, and thanks to the huge number of types and varieties, everyone can find their own option that will make the site uniquely beautiful.

The video “Roses in Landscape Design” shows what beautiful compositions can be composed with these shrubs:

Roses in the design of your garden are always welcome guests in flower beds, flowerbeds, and mixborders. They are used to cover unsightly areas of brick or wooden walls, trees, trellises. Roses are planted in rockeries and on alpine roller coaster, as a hedge, as accent plants (especially in standard form) and as ground cover plants. Planted in containers, they will certainly become a decoration for your home or patio.

Look at the photo - hybrid tea roses in the design of a summer cottage are mainly planted in flower beds, in mixborders and borders:

Recently it has become fashionable to grow them in standard form as single plants.

When designing a flower bed, floribunda roses add color to the garden. Tall varieties used to create hedges, dwarf roses (recently allocated to a separate group of patio roses) - to decorate borders and as a container culture. The use of roses in flower beds in site design is justified both in landscape and regular planning.

As shown in the photo, climbing roses when decorating a garden provide enormous scope for realizing the ideas of a true artist:

Having the ability to climb vertical surfaces, they cover large spaces in a short time, which makes them indispensable for draping walls, trees, trellises, etc. In addition, climbing roses are used for backstage plantings, decorating arches and garden gazebos. Baskets made of climbing roses with a high handle, which are braided with shoots completely covered with flowers, look impressive.

Look at the photo - ground cover roses can play a big role in garden design:

Quickly forming a dense carpet of stems and leaves, they prevent the growth of weeds and at the same time play a decorative role - they hide unevenness and other imperfections in the landscape. Ground cover roses are also good in rockeries, to which they give a natural look.

Miniature roses are used mainly as houseplants. But they can also be used as a border. A new word in landscape design is growing roses in rock gardens. But here care comes first, since the feeding area will be small.

As you can see in the photo, park roses in the landscape design of a summer cottage are mainly used to create hedges:

Also, park roses can be included in decorative garden groups consisting of trees and shrubs.

Knowing which plants to plant with roses in landscape design, when correct selection varieties and companion plants, you can create a wonderful mixborder. And in the spring, while rose bushes have not yet reached the peak of decorativeness, early-flowering bulbous plants - crocuses, snowdrops, scylla, muscaria, etc. - can bloom between them. In the summer, the beauty of roses will not be hindered by ageratum, aubrieta, and rezuha.

Genetically, roses are programmed to be very long life. An example of this is wild roses (rose hips), whose lifespan is estimated at 500 years.

Cultivated roses, of course, live much shorter - up to 25-50 years, and if not enough favorable conditions and even less - 10-15 years.

And in order to extend the life of your favorite roses, enjoying their beauty, drawing strength and vigor from them, using their healing gifts, you must, in addition to proper care, correctly arrange and combine them with other plants.

A rose lover should know that all the colorful variety requires a certain system when planting.

Look at the photo - when designing flower beds with rose varieties, you need to have uniform spots, which should include at least 3 bushes:

At the same time, the overall picture of the rose garden looks like areas of pure white, pure pink, pure red or yellow roses. Mixing different colors in one spot is unacceptable.

In addition, homogeneous spots should match each other in color. So, they don’t go well with red ones. orange roses, purple, pink.

Red roses in garden design can be separated from the same pink ones by white or cream ones.

Red color is classically combined with green, blue, lilac. Accepted combinations are light pink with light blue, purple with yellow and orange, blue with white.

The video “Roses in landscape garden design” shows ideas for placing these plants on the site:

The next point when placing roses in the garden is the selection of separate groups in different functional areas of the garden. So, in the front part of the garden you need to place hybrid tea and remontant roses. Their nobility of form, richness of color and aroma create the impression of beauty and dignity, artistic taste and harmony.

Red roses in a dacha design look good along the white wall of the house. They are cozy and sentimental here.

Roses should not be planted in the center of the lawn, as they will not only make it difficult to care for the lawn, but will also interfere with the feeling of peace that comes from the greenery of the lawn.

A group of polyanthus roses blooming all summer long is irreplaceable in relaxation corners, along the paths at the entrance to the gazebo, under the bedroom window.

Pay attention to the photo - polyanthus roses in the landscape design of the garden can border the roads of the site as a border, but for this you need to choose only low varieties:

If you have flower beds in your garden where you want to place roses, then keep in mind that for roses they should not be oval, but rectangular. It is advisable that one variety be planted, then your flowerbed will acquire the status of solidity and splendor. Since you will have cutting material from the same flower bed, use a group of hybrid tea and remontant roses.

We should not forget about wild roses. They delight us with beautiful fragrant, abundant inflorescences and bright fruits.

There will be a place for them along the boundaries of the site, where they will also serve a protective function as an impassable fence. In addition, this is an excellent place for nesting birds. And the abundance of birds in the garden means a sharp decline in numbers.

As shown in the photo, climbing roses are indispensable in site design where there are gazebos, pergolas, iron gratings and other supports:

They are planted 2-3 near the support and the shoots are directed, fixing in the desired direction.

You can decorate withered trees and bare pillars with roses, and also create delightful pyramids using a metal or wooden frame.

Beautifully flowering and beautifully fruiting shrubs that are planted behind the roses and at a distance of at least 1-1.5 m from them look good with roses.

Among deciduous shrubs Lilac, mackerel, yellow acacia, cotoneaster, euonymus, snowberry, gooseberry, sea buckthorn, privet, tamarix, mock orange are combined with roses.

The classic combination of roses with evergreen species, not only shrubs, but also trees - spruce, thuja, junipers. Species such as mahonia, pyrocanthus, and horizontal cotoneaster can also be used as evergreens.

The blue color, symbolizing the purity of the sky, enhances the beauty of the flower. lush rose, white - gives splendor to the rose garden.

As you can see in the photo, when decorating a garden plot, roses go well with lavender, periwinkles, speedwells, bluebells, delphiniums, columbine, asters with blue and white flower colors:

Roses can be combined with summer flowering annuals and perennials. The main condition is that they have blue, blue, lilac, silver shades of flowers and leaves.

The classic combination of roses and gypsophila not only in bouquets, but also in a flowerbed or mixborder.

Plant summer flowers, acroclinum, lobelia, and agerantum alongside the standard roses.

The successful combination of roses and vines is generally recognized. Roses against the background of blue clematis, honeysuckle, and actinidia acquire even greater expressiveness.

We should not forget about the successful combination of roses with ears of perennial and annual grasses. They add grace and airiness to rose plantings. Among the grasses are sheep fescue, evergreen oats, and bromegrass.

Roses can also be combined with bulbous ones, but not with all of them, and, perhaps, only with white lilies, but, again, not in a bouquet and not with fragrant lilies.

Everything that has been said about possible combinations of roses, their placement on the site is important not only from the point of view of harmony and visual perception. Determined that successful combinations have a positive effect on the overall lifespan of the plant and the manifestation of its inherent advantages.

Only those plants that have similar requirements for growing conditions can be roses' companions. It is important to consider the time of flowering - it is better when the companions of the roses bloom before or after the queen of flowers. No less important is the combination of plants by aroma: you should not plant flowers next to a rose that exude strong smell, interrupting the subtle scent of rose.

The background on which roses grow is very important. Conifers, especially blue spruce, can also be used as a background.

Compositions of roses with other shrubs that have beautifully colored foliage are also successful: red, yellow, variegated - these include bladderworts, barberries, black elderberry, etc. Roses look wonderful against the background of the silvery foliage of poplar and suckers.

Look at the photo - roses in garden design look harmonious against the background flower plants With small flowers white, blue and blue in color, among which gypsophila takes first place:

If we talk about lining rose bushes, then the first place comes out to ornamental grasses (miscanthus, falaris, molinia, ozhika and various fescues), which are the ideal companion for roses.

Cereal herbs will also be supported in the composition by irises with their linear leaves. Irises bloom earlier than many roses, so their flowers will not distract attention, and after flowering the leaves will decorate rose plantings.

These photos show what can be planted next to roses for beautiful design garden plot:

When placing roses in the garden, consider the following recommendations:

• White roses go harmoniously with all the colors of the rainbow. White roses look good next to other white flowers, especially if you add plants with bluish foliage. This combination can be complemented with pale blue, pink or lemon yellow flowers.
• Yellow roses are spectacular with green and yellow-green tones; with blue and blue; and in compositions of warm tones - with different shades orange.
• Bright orange and orange-red roses are so striking that they are hard to miss. They go very beautifully with different shades of blue and cyan, especially in the presence of yellow-green.
• Orange, apricot and peach roses in pale shades are completely lost in the colorful flower garden. It is better to surround such roses with other delicately colored plants. If there is pinkishness in the color of the rose, it will be combined with pink or crimson flowers.
• Red roses don't go well with other shades of red and pink, so it's best to surround them with yellow or blue flowers. Red roses come with orange or lilac shade, and these two tones are not at all in harmony with each other, so they are not planted next to each other.
• Soft pink roses look great against the background of plants with bluish-green foliage; they harmonize with pale blue flowers and deep pink roses.
• Lilac and violet roses go well with pink, blue and yellow-green tones.

I decided to replenish my rose garden and purchased several bushes of climbing roses, but I just don’t know how to grow them. Tell me, where is the best place to plant climbing roses and how to properly care for them in order to grow beautiful lush bushes?

Climbing roses are indispensable when creating vertical gardening. Arches and gazebos decorated with this variety of roses look gorgeous.

But in order for a climbing rose to decorate the area with its appearance, you need to know the peculiarities of its planting and properly care for it. After all, mistakes made in care will not only spoil appearance shrub, but can also lead to its death. So, if a rose seedling has already been purchased, first of all, the question arises of where to plant it and how to further care for the climbing rose.

Conditions for planting climbing roses: time and place of planting

So that young bushes have time to settle down in a new place and get stronger before the onset of the first frosts, the most optimal time It will be late spring for planting.

When choosing a place for a climbing rose, you must follow two rules:

• this variety does not like drafts;
• This rose loves the sun, but is afraid of direct sunlight.

You cannot plant the plant on the corner of the house, where drafts are a fairly common occurrence.

The place for planting the rose should be in the shade for at least two to three hours a day, otherwise the plant will get burned and the petals will burn out. And in a too shady part of the plot the bush will grow slowly and bloom poorly.

If several bushes are planted, a space of 1 m should be made between them; the distance between the rows should be increased to 2 meters. Also, do not plant very close to the wall; you need to retreat to a distance of up to 50 cm.

Preparing the soil before planting roses

Experienced gardeners advise preparing the soil several weeks before planting roses. To do this, dig up the chosen place on the site, fertilize the soil with peat, lime and humus. Dig a planting hole 50cm deep and 50cm wide.

Before planting a seedling, it is necessary to trim its roots and shoots with pruning shears, leaving a maximum of 30 cm, and treat the cut areas with garden varnish.

Mix the soil from the hole with manure (preferably mullein) and cover the young rose bush with it.

Basics of caring for climbing roses

Caring for a climbing rose includes the following:

1. Watering. It is enough to water the rose once a week; the bush tolerates dry summers very well, but is sensitive to excess moisture.
2. Top dressing. Roses are fertilized with manure, organic and mineral fertilizers.
3. Timely treatment of diseases. If the leaves are covered with white spots (powdery mildew), the bush should be treated twice (with a break). Bordeaux mixture. When appearing on the shoots brown spots(bark cancer) they urgently need to be cut out, capturing part of the healthy shoot, and burned.
4. Trimming. With the arrival of spring, cut out dry and weak branches on the bush, and in the summer, cut off flowers that have bloomed.
5. Shelter for the winter. They start doing it only when the temperature drops to 5 degrees below zero. To do this, tie the branches, remove the shoots from the support and place them on the leaves, and cover the top with film.

At proper care behind the weaving rose lush flowering you can admire it for years.

Video on how to properly plant and care for climbing roses

Climbing roses have shoots that are several meters long. The flowers are white, pink, red, yellow from 2.5 to 9 cm, from single to semi-double, odorless, collected in inflorescences. Flowering is long-lasting and begins in June.

When describing climbing roses, it should be noted that they occupy one of the leading places in vertical gardening, go well with small architectural forms, are indispensable when creating decorative columns, pyramids, arches, trellises, green decoration of building walls, balconies, gazebos.

There are many varieties of climbing roses, the description of which will take a lot of time and space. However, according to the nature of their growth, these roses can be divided into three groups:

• Curly - from 5 m to 15 m high.
• Climbing height - from 3 m to 5 m.
• Semi-climbing in height - from 1.5 m. - 3 m.

The formation of shoots in climbing roses is continuous, due to which the flowering and budding phases are very extended. The total flowering duration is from 30 to 170 days. Among the repeat-blooming roses, the group of large-flowered roses, or Climings, stands out for its decorativeness.

Growing climbing roses

Choosing a place for planting and growing. For growing, you need to choose sunny and ventilated places. Roses are light-loving plants, so it is best to plant them on walls and supports with southern and southwestern exposure. Preference should still be given to southern exposure; good lighting helps the growth to ripen, which will flower next year.

Groundwater should be no higher than 70-100 cm, optimally 100-150 cm. It will not be possible to grow these flowers in swampy, damp places prone to flooding.

When choosing a place to plant, be sure to think about how you will lay the plants on the ground for shelter for the winter. Climbing roses grow to a height of more than 2.5 m. When laid out for the winter, they should not “cover” other plants that do not require shelter.

What kind of soil should it be? To grow climbing roses, you need fertile, loose, moderately moist soil with a fertile layer of at least 30 cm. And so, in the place of the future rose garden, it is necessary to prepare the soil: for this purpose it is better to use rotted manure (cow), if the soil is too heavy, you need to add sand, peat, which will give the soil looseness.

Selection of seedlings. The seedling should have 2-3 well-ripened lignified shoots with green, intact bark and developed root system with many thin roots (lobe). The root collar of a seedling at the age of 1-2 years looks like a slight thickening separating the wild rootstock and the stem of the cultivated plant.

Planting climbing roses

When is the best time to plant roses? IN middle lane In Russia, it is preferable to plant roses in the fall from September to the end of October, or in the early spring from mid-April to the end of May. In autumn, plants must be planted 2 cm deeper than in spring (total depth 5 cm), so that the shoots of planted roses do not dry out and suffer from the approaching cold weather, they are covered with earth and sand to a height of 20-25 cm. When the temperature drops to subzero temperatures plants are covered for the winter.

Preparing for landing. Seedlings with an open root system are soaked in water a day before planting. Leaves are removed from the shoots and immature and broken shoots are cut out with sharp pruning shears. The above-ground part is shortened to 30 cm, long roots are also cut off - up to 30 cm, cutting out rotten roots to a healthy place. The buds located below the grafting site are removed - wild shoots will develop from them. Seedlings are disinfected by dipping in 3% copper sulfate.

Landing. Planting pits prepared with a size of 50 × 50 cm, the distance between plants should be at least 2 - 3 meters. When planting, do not bend the roots of the plants too much. They should be laid out freely in the hole so that they go to the bottom, without bending upward, and the seedlings should be held at such a height that the grafting site is approximately 10 cm below the soil surface. (Other varieties of roses are planted 5 cm deep, but climbing roses are planted deeper.)

Then the hole is filled to two-thirds of its depth with soil, compacted so that it fits properly against the roots, and the plant is watered. Thorough watering in the spring is especially important. Only after the water has been absorbed is the hole filled with earth, and the seedling is hilled to a height of at least 20 cm.

Before the onset of frost, the hilling level is raised. In spring, this sprinkled soil will protect the plant from the scorching rays of the sun and drying winds. For greater reliability, the seedling can be slightly shaded with pine needles. In dry weather, it is watered every 5-6 days. Three weeks after spring planting, the soil from the bush is carefully raked. It is advisable to do this on a cloudy day, when there is no danger of a sharp drop in temperature at night.

At the beginning of April, roses are opened and treated in the same way. autumn planting. In this case, it is necessary to ensure that the most sensitive place of the entire plant, the grafting site, remains 10 cm below ground level. In the spring, new shoots will grow above it.

If climbing rose will grow near the wall, then the distance to it should not be less than 50 cm. The plant is brought to the wall itself by an inclined planting at an appropriate angle. If a rose were grown close to the wall, it would constantly suffer from a lack of moisture.

When late spring planting When carried out in dry, warm weather, it is useful to cover the soil with a layer of damp peat or any other mulch. After planting, the shoots are cut into 3 - 5 buds.

Caring for climbing roses

Caring for climbing roses involves proper watering, timely fertilizing, pruning, disease and pest control, as well as loosening and mulching the soil. In addition, the plants must be provided with beautiful supports and covered for the winter.

In response to such care and careful care, these beauties will certainly thank you with magnificent blooms throughout almost the entire summer.

How to water. Good plant care is first and foremost proper watering. During the growing season, roses consume a lot of water. In the absence of precipitation, from the moment the buds appear, as well as after pruning, the plants are watered every 10-12 days.

When watering, the soil must be soaked so that the moisture penetrates deeper than the roots (1-2 buckets per plant). On the 2-3rd day after watering (or rain), the soil around the plant must be loosened to a depth of 5-6 cm, which helps retain moisture in the soil and improve air access to the roots. Loosening can be replaced by mulching the soil.

Lack of moisture in the soil affects the growth of roses, and the concentration of salts in the substrate also increases. But we must remember that too frequent watering with a hose raises air humidity, and this contributes to the spread of fungal diseases.

Feeding. To ensure proper care of plants, it is necessary to fertilize the soil. Climbing roses need more than others regular feeding. Throughout the summer, they need to be fed every 10 to 20 days, alternating nitrogen fertilizers with complete, complex ones. Fertilizers can be either dry or liquid.

First of all, in the spring they carry out liquid fertilizer complete mineral fertilizer (according to instructions). After 10 - 20 days, feed the plants with organic matter (1 bucket of mullein per 5 buckets of water + 3 kg of ash) 1 liter of this mixture is diluted in a bucket of water and watered at the root of the roses. This operation will ensure an abundant start to flowering with brightly colored flowers.

Such fertilizing, alternating with each other, should be done until mid-summer. From mid-July they stop feeding nitrogen fertilizers and switch to phosphorus and potassium so that the bush begins to prepare for winter.

Whenever feeding, you must strictly adhere to the dosage! If there is an excess of any chemical elements, the condition of the roses may worsen. Such care will only harm the plants.

Pruning climbing roses

Pruning plays a very important role in caring for climbing roses.

The main purpose of pruning is to form a crown, obtain abundant and long-lasting flowering, and maintain plants in a healthy condition.

At good care at the roses for summer period Long shoots grow, up to 2-3.5 m. They are covered for the winter. In the spring of next year, only the frozen and frosted shoots and the ends of the shoots on the strong outer bud are pruned.

In the future, pruning of climbing roses is carried out depending on how these roses bloom, once or twice. These groups of roses differ significantly from each other in the nature of flowering and shoot formation.

The first ones form flowering branches on last year's shoots. They don't bloom again. To replace faded shoots, the so-called main (basal), these roses form from 3 to 10 restoration (replacement) shoots, which will bloom the next season. In this case, after flowering, the basal shoots are cut down to the base, like raspberries. Thus, bushes of single-flowering climbing roses should consist of only 3-5 annual and 3-5 biennial flowering shoots.

If climbing roses belong to the group of repeat flowering roses, then flowering branches of different orders (from 2 to 5) are formed on the main shoots within three years, the flowering of such shoots weakens by the fifth year. Therefore, the main shoots are cut out after the fourth year to the ground. If many new strong recovery shoots form at the base of these shoots (which usually happens when roses are well cared for), then the main shoots are cut out as in the first group.

For bushes with repeated flowering, it is enough to have from 1 to 3 annual restoration shoots and from 3 to 7 flowering main shoots. Repeatedly blooming roses It is recommended to prune in early spring. The point of pruning is to leave a limited number of the strongest, youngest and longest branches on the bush. If the lashes are too long compared to the support, they need to be trimmed.

It is important to remember that most climbing roses bloom on overwintered shoots, which must be preserved for their entire length; only the very tops with underdeveloped buds must be removed. Therefore, such roses should not be pruned in the fall; the main pruning is carried out in early spring.

Proper pruning and careful care can provide almost continuous flowering roses in your garden.

Propagation of climbing roses

The cuttings are planted in the substrate to a depth of 1 - 1.5 cm.

Cuttings are cut from flowering or fading shoots with 2 - 3 internodes. The lower end is made oblique (at an angle of 45°) directly under the kidney, and the upper end is made straight away from the kidney. Lower leaves completely removed, and the rest cut in half. The cuttings are planted in a substrate (in a mixture of earth and sand or in clean sand) in a pot, box or directly in the soil to a depth of 0.5-1 cm. The cuttings are covered on top glass jar or film and shade from the sun. Watering is carried out without removing the film.

Cuttings in early spring also give good results. During spring pruning There are many cut shoots left that can be successfully rooted. Plant and care for cuttings according to the above method.

Sheltering climbing roses for the winter

Covering roses for the winter can take several days.

Be prepared for the fact that sheltering a climbing rose for the winter can last for several days, or even a whole week.

The most unfavorable soil for planting roses is heavy clay soil, which will require drainage to remove excess moisture from the plant. Coarse sand, expanded clay or gravel are most often used as drainage materials. Dry sandy soil is also unsuitable for a rose garden - it must be fertilized with a mixture of clay and humus. If the soil in the garden plot is fertile, a hole for planting roses is formed to such a depth that the root system of the bush fits. If the soil is not very good in its properties, then a hole is dug deeper and wider in diameter, and its bottom is sprinkled with drainage or fertilized.

Planting a rose seedling consists of the following stages: preparing the hole, pruning the seedling, filling the roots, compacting and watering the soil

The stake is selected with a diameter of 2 to 4 cm and a height equal to the tree trunk to the base of the crown plus 50-70 cm. It is advisable to treat the underground part of the stake with an antiseptic to prevent wood rotting and drive it to a depth of about 50 cm into a hole prepared for planting the rose.

The rope intended for tying a standard tree must be tarred and secured with an 8-shaped loop in three places on the rose trunk - near the ground, in the middle of the trunk and at the base of the crown. To protect the trunk of the tree from damage by the rope, it is wrapped with scraps of burlap in the areas where the loops are placed.

To plant a rose garden on a summer cottage in the form of a hedge, they do not dig separate holes for each bush, but a trench about 50 cm deep and a width depending on the number of rows in the hedge. It is advisable to loosen the bottom of the trench with a pitchfork and cover it with a layer of planting mixture consisting of peat and garden soil taken in equal parts. To plant a hedge, it is best to take 2-3-year-old rose seedlings with a well-developed root system.
