About the fire flash rose: description and characteristics, growing a variety of bush roses

Embodiment in bouquets

The history of the appearance of the bush rose began in China.
There, for the first time, they began to collect bouquets of these flowers and decorate homes and temples with them. In Greece, the rose was considered a sacred flower because the shape of its bud resembled a circle - a symbol of infinity. Subsequently, thanks to crossing, the number of types of roses became so large that flowers began to be divided into varieties. The bush rose can be considered the ancestor of modern hybrid roses, although it was originally a wild plant. It is interesting that the first attempts to grow roses in Russia date back to the middle of the 16th century, but flowers became widespread only in the 18th century, almost simultaneously with the growth of their popularity in Western Europe. The rulers of the empire greatly contributed to this: for example, Catherine II ordered the creation of the first rose garden in Russia in Tsarskoye Selo Park, it was called the pink field.

Thanks to the work of breeders, modern bush roses can be grown not only in gardens, but also at home. These plants are very popular among florists; the delicate small buds are well suited for creating bouquets and compositions, and cut flowers will last in a vase for at least a week.

Roses are heat-loving plants, but modern varieties are adapted to the climate of central Russia, thanks to which they tolerate both summer heat and winter frosts well.

It is important to remember that in the summer you can maintain a rose in the heat by providing it with timely watering and spraying the foliage so that it does not dry out. And in the fall, when the air temperature drops below -5 ° C, it is necessary to cover the bush

For shelter, you can use sand, spruce branches or special synthetic material. With such simple care, temperature changes will not be harmful to the plant.

The main rule of watering roses is to do it as needed. Immediately after watering, the soil should be moistened to a depth of about 25 cm and the procedure should not be repeated until it dries. Excess water in the root system can harm the plant, the roots will begin to rot and the flower will not be able to grow and produce buds. The most favorable time for watering is early morning or evening. In this case, the moisture will have time to reach the root system and will not evaporate too quickly. On average, one adult rose bush requires about 9 liters of water, and the next watering is carried out no earlier than a few days later.

Shrub roses love a lot of light. If you choose a sunny plot of land for them on the south side, they will certainly delight you with lush flowering all season long. But even if such a site is not found, they feel great in partial shade. Too dark corners of the garden are not suitable for such flowers and the plant may die.

Shrub roses are not very picky about soil and, with proper feeding, can thrive almost anywhere. Fertilizing the soil for roses can be divided into three stages: the first time the plant is fertilized in the spring at the beginning of the growing season, the second when the plant begins to form buds, and the third at the end of flowering. There are ready-made mixtures for feeding plants, which greatly simplifies the gardener’s work. But you can prepare the mixture yourself by purchasing all the elements separately at a gardening store. The main thing is not to forget to maintain the strength of the bush, and then it will delight and decorate the garden for many years.

Shrub roses bloom throughout the summer and decorate the garden with lush greenery and flowers of various shades. A distinctive feature of roses of the rose hip family is their ability to grow quickly, so when choosing a place for planting, you must take into account that the plant will grow several times.

To form a beautiful composition, it will be necessary to install supports and trim roses and faded buds.

You should also remove thick shoots at the base of the bush in time, otherwise they will take away the main strength and prevent new buds from forming. But it is better to leave the young branches, it is on them that fresh flowers will grow, and the longer they are, the more inflorescences there will be.

Site selection and soil preparation

Both beginners and experienced gardeners can grow crops; the main thing is to follow all the nuances of cultivation. To plant a plant in the garden, you need to choose a sunny but protected from the winds area.

It can take up to three months to prepare high-quality soil for flowers, so for planting in the fall, the soil must be prepared in the summer or in October, if planting the crop is planned for spring.

The basic rules for soil preparation are as follows:

1. We remove weeds and their rhizomes from the site.
2. We dig up the soil onto the bayonet of a shovel while simultaneously transferring the soil. Next, make a ditch 40-50 centimeters deep and fill the bottom with top soil with fertilizers, and then the bottom layer mixed with fertilizers. Over several months of standing, the soil in the ditch sags and becomes saturated with useful substances. Along with this, excess moisture also leaves.
3. Some gardeners immediately plant plants in pre-dug soil with dug holes, but this method is considered less effective.

Many gardeners do things differently. They dig up the area using a spade blade without prior leveling in the fall. This will help freeze the top layer of soil and destroy pathogenic bacteria and microorganisms harmful to roses and pest larvae. Fertilizers added during this period can dissolve over the winter.

With the arrival of spring, the planting site is leveled with a metal rake and holes for planting crops begin to be dug. The depth and width of such recesses should be 25-30 centimeters higher and wider than the root system of the plant. If these parameters are observed, the pit is filled with light nutritious soil, which will give impetus to the intensive development of the root system.

When preparing the soil for a rose garden, it is necessary to take into account the influence of its predecessors. It is known that roses do not grow well in areas where there were previously cinquefoil, cherry, quince or hawthorn. In such areas, a 50-centimeter layer of soil is removed and replaced with new soil.

Growing a flower, how to plant it correctly in open ground

Rose Stephanie Baronin zu Guttenberg (stephanie baronin zu guttenberg)
The plant is not capricious, which means that novice florists can easily cope with some of the nuances of its cultivation. The place for planting the Flash Fire bush rose should be well lit and not in drafts.

For a planned planting, preparations should be made several months in advance. Choose a place, prepare the ground:

• remove weeds along with their roots;
• dig up the space reserved for the rose;
• prepare trenches;
• apply organic fertilizers;
• leave the landing site for several months.

It is important to know! When organizing the design of a flower bed, it is important to know what plants previously grew in this area. There are a number of crops that negatively affect the future growth of fire rose

If previously the following grew in this place: hawthorn, cherry, aphids, quince, then it is advisable to replace the entire top layer of soil.

The soil for planting should be slightly acidic. To normalize the acidity balance, it is diluted with ash, compost, humus or dry pine needles. Experienced gardeners recommend planting the plant in the spring, after preliminary autumn soil preparation.

Seedling preparation

Before planting in the ground, the seedling is pruned and damaged leaves and branches are removed. No more than 5 eyes are left on the main shoot. Lateral and dry roots are removed. Next, the seedling is kept in a solution of sodium humate for 12 hours.

The procedure for planting roses in the ground

By adhering to some rules for planting a Dutch plant in open ground, you can subsequently obtain a healthy, strong plant. The procedure occurs in several stages:

1. Treatment of seedlings with growth stimulants.
2. Adding compost or peat to the topsoil.
3. Formation of a planting hole, the width and depth of which is 40 cm.
4. Formation of a drainage layer at the bottom of the hole.
5. Moving the seedling into the prepared hole and further digging it in.
6. Abundant watering.

The distance between rose bushes should be at least 35 cm. This will ensure sufficient air circulation to the lower leaves and will serve as the prevention of certain diseases.

Proper planting in open ground will ensure healthy growth of the plant.

Description of a group of spray roses

Many consider them to be a subgroup of floribundas. But it's not right. Spray roses are an independent, fairly large group of roses that have their own distinctive features:

• long and abundant flowering,
• unpretentiousness to living conditions and endurance,
• adapted for cultivation in central Russia,
• frost resistant
• few or no thorns on the stems,
• long continuous flowering with timely pruning,
• beautiful in landscape design and in bouquets,
• suitable for growing in containers for landscaping balconies and terraces,
• The flowers of some varieties have a light, pleasant aroma.

The group got its name from the English spray, which means “spray”. People also call them “wedding” because they are used to create boutonnieres and bouquets for brides. A miniature or medium-sized scattering of buds can be concentrated on 1 branch, which not only looks original, but is also convenient for creating floral compositions. Read: “The best varieties of roses by color.”

Shrub roses and landscape options

When planting bush varieties for the first time, you should not immediately take on weaving arbors or building hedges; you should learn from simpler things.

Simple ways to revitalize an area with live roses:

Flower beds - bush roses are placed around the site in beautiful, specially prepared places.

Borders are bushes, the easiest to care for, planted around the perimeter. In some cases, this is simply a living frame for the path, in others, grooves are formed for them from brick and stone, or twisted decorative fences are installed in front of the bush line.

Group – a territory is selected on which only the rose garden will be located. The bushes can be arranged by variety or color - you will get a cozy corner for relaxation in the Provence style, where you can put ordinary plastic chairs, a table with an openwork tablecloth and a white garden umbrella.

If the roses take root well, you can safely take on and form hedges, large arches, and weave them around walls and gazebos.

How to choose the right seedlings

Rose planting material can be sold in mini containers or in bags filled with nutrient substrate, less often in open form. When planting in the fall, it is better to choose seedlings with an open root system, but for planting in the spring, plants in containers are better suited.

Before purchasing, carefully inspect the bush and its root system for damage and other defects, such as mold and dried areas.

If you purchase plants in a bag, pay special attention to the condition of the soil; it should be crumbly and not have a specific odor. The best choice would be a strong, healthy seedling with white roots at the bottom.

Description of the variety

Fire flash has compact dimensions: about half a meter wide and 50 to 70 cm high. The plant’s strong shoots are covered with small, dense, dark green, shiny leaves. The flowers that appear on the bush are small: 5-6 cm in girth. They are formed in racemose inflorescences of 5-10 pieces. The buds of this culture are characterized by a classic shape.

The most attractive thing about the inflorescences of this rose variety is their bright, two-tone color, combining sunny yellow and rich crimson shades. Thanks to such an unusual coloring, as well as the contrast of variegated buds and green foliage, the perennial looks very elegant, spectacular, and cheerful. The first flowers appear on the plant in May. The variegated rose continues to bloom until late autumn. In most cases, flowers do not show the center even in the full bloom phase. Only a few of them show their stamens, maintaining their original shape. They smell nice, although the aroma they emit is rather weak.

The buds bloom on the bush quite slowly, which allows you to fully enjoy the wonderful spectacle. The flowering of the decorative perennial Fire flash can be safely called lush. It passes in three abundant waves, in the intervals between which the number of inflorescences on the bush is quite moderate.

The features of this rose include:

• high resistance to diseases and low air temperatures;
• unpretentiousness;
• maintaining the integrity and appearance of flowers under the influence of rain;
• almost complete absence of sharp thorns on the stems of the plant.

Fireflash flower petals do not bake and do not fade in the sun, although with age their color does fade, which, however, does not negatively affect the decorative appearance of the shrub.

Brief overview of popular varieties

We invite you to familiarize yourself with descriptions and photos of bush roses, which are well suited for growing in gardens and summer cottages:

"Alba Meillandecor" (Alba Meillandecor - Meilland, France, 1987) White bush rose with very abundant flowering and high resistance to disease and frost.

Their color changes as they bloom: rich yellow and pale orange shades gradually fade to lemon-cream, and a crimson border appears along the edges of the petals. The variety is quite resistant to diseases and winter frosts - it tolerates temperatures down to −23.3 °C.

In one inflorescence, one can observe the variability of shades in the color of the petals at different stages of bud dissolution

Currently, there is a huge variety of varieties belonging to the “Modern Shrub” group. Among them are some that were bred many decades ago, but remain highly popular all over the world, and new ones that quickly won the sympathy of rose growers.

History of the variety's creation

The spray rose variety was bred by breeders from Interplant (Holland). The name of the variety “Fire Fresh” translated from English means “fiery flash”.

Growing roses

Growing and caring for this ornamental shrub is no different from growing other varieties of roses. But this variety is particularly resistant to diseases, so preventive treatments are not necessary.

Landing Fire Flash:

1. To grow a two-color rose, you need to select loose and fertile soil (with a slightly acidic reaction).
2. Dig a hole (45 cm width and depth).
3. Fill the bottom of the loonie with drainage.
4. Add humus to the hole and add some soil mixture.
5. Place the seedling in the hole.
6. Spread the roots of the seedling and begin pouring the remaining soil mixture.
7. Compact the soil and water the plant at the root.

Caring for Fire Flash

Water the bicolor rose regularly and moderately throughout the growing season; as for the hot, dry period, watering should be plentiful at this time. Water Fire Flush a couple of times a week, in the morning or evening.

To encourage Fire Flash growth and lush foliage, apply a nitrogen fertilizer in the spring. Also in spring, this variety needs pruning; cut off diseased and weak shoots.

During the budding period, the plant needs mineral complexes. As soon as the flowering period is over, the two-color rose needs to be fertilized with phosphorus-potassium concentrate.

The plant is famous for its high resistance to frost, but despite this, it should be covered for the winter.

Nuances of care

From March to July, apply fertilizing with a high content of nitrogenous substances. In summer and until autumn, add potassium and phosphorus

It is important to feed during budding and at the end of pollen. Loosen the soil around the bush regularly

For the winter, cover the plant. In hot weather, it is worth spraying the petals with water, but in the late afternoon, when the sun sets.

Watering

Water miniature roses with Spray in the same way as other varieties of Rosaceae. Pour water under the root so that it does not fall on the leaves. Start irrigation when the soil dries out after the previous watering. One bush will need 8 liters of water.

Top dressing

It is advisable to fertilize roses periodically. Feeding is especially required during budding and pollen. The procedure is carried out according to general rules:

• during the appearance of buds;
• at the end of summer.

Roses love nitrogen fertilizers. By autumn, add potassium-phosphorus compounds. You can buy ready-made mixtures in the store and dilute them according to the instructions.

Wintering

Before frosts, around the beginning of October, cut rose bushes to a height of 30-40 cm. Remove leaves, buds, and flowers from them and cover them with soil up to 30 cm up. Pine needles are placed on top and covered with burlap. If the roses are covered with snow, do not worry. This will serve as additional shelter and add moisture to them.

How and when to prune

Shrubs need to be pruned in order to activate the formation of young shoots and long flowering. Perform pruning 2-3 times during the growing season. At the same time, remove damaged and dry branches. When flowering is complete, remove faded flowers. Shorten the bush in June so that the rose does not waste energy on producing fruits and the pollen is more intense. Pruning will serve as an excellent prevention of fungal infections.

Rules for growing roses spray Fire Flash Fire Flash

Small Fire Flash shrubs are unpretentious, so if basic agrotechnical measures are followed, they will take root well in Russian conditions

In order for this bush rose to take root and enjoy active growth in the first summer after planting, it is important to correctly plant the seedlings in open ground:

• depth and width of the planting hole – 40 cm;
• the bottom of the hole is lined with drainage in the form of expanded clay, gravel or small pebbles;
• it is necessary to add fresh manure;
• the soil should be slightly acidic, and if it does not meet this criterion, it should be pre-corrected. If there is a strong level of acidity, it is successfully extinguished with the help of lime or wood ash, and if there is not enough acidity, peat and manure will be excellent helpers in improving the land.

It is best to plant bushes in early May. Water moderately, but at certain intervals: twice a week at the same time (usually early in the morning or late in the evening). Despite the rose's resistance to cold, shelter for the winter will not hurt it, so you should protect it with spruce branches. Pruning is carried out according to the following rules:

• spring: removal of frozen and diseased branches;
• summer: cutting off shoots that grow wildly inside the bush (moderate thinning);
• autumn: thin and weakened branches that will definitely not withstand the coming winter are also removed.

The pruning procedure itself is carried out using a special garden pruner, which is treated with an alcohol solution - in order to avoid infection of some branches from others (the appearance of a fungal infection even under the most favorable growing conditions cannot be excluded).

When the shrub finishes flowering, it is necessary to apply fertilizers containing phosphorus and potassium, and in the spring, before the first buds bloom, you need to feed the beauty with nitrogen.

The miniature two-color bush Fire Flash is ideal for growing in Russian latitudes, since it is unpretentious and adapts well even in very cold climatic zones, and even a novice gardener can cope with the process of planting and growing it.

Flower propagation

Reproduction can be carried out in any available way, which seems most convenient in a particular situation:

• seeds;
• cuttings;
• in divisions.

It is necessary to take into account that the result of breeding can be quite unpredictable. Roses do not reproduce well from seeds, so we cannot even say whether the material will germinate or not. Also, the daughter plant can be very different from the mother plant.

Reproduction by dividing the bush

The easiest way is to divide the root. However, in this case, the parent bush is at risk, since dividing the rhizome is very stressful for it. After planting, flowering may be more sparse, and growth will stop for some time.

Dividing the bush is done with a sharp shovel, which must be disinfected so as not to introduce the disease. With one sharp blow, you need to divide the rhizome into 2 sections, treat the cut areas with charcoal or activated charcoal, then plant them.

For your information! A weakened plant is more susceptible to disease.

The most correct method of propagation is cuttings. In this case, the parent bush will be safe, and the cutting will definitely grow into a plant with the same characteristics that were needed. Propagation material should be stocked during heavy pruning of the flower.

It is recommended to plant in the spring; if the planting material was only collected during this period, the cuttings will take root before the end of summer. In the fall, you should plant them in a pot and leave them at home, and next spring transplant them into open ground.

The cutting must be cut at an angle of 45°. Its length should be about 15 cm, and there should be at least 2 buds on the branch. The cuttings are placed in moist soil or a root formation stimulator. After the roots appear, the twig can be planted in regular soil.

Pest and disease control

Aphid

The main pest of spray roses is aphids. These small insects settle in colonies on the inside of the leaves of the crop. Parasites suck sap from plants, which leads to wilting and curling of leaf blades. Aphids reproduce intensively, producing up to 10 generations per year.

To effectively combat the pest, use a soap solution with the addition of mustard powder or chemicals Karbofos, Aktelik, Rogor.

Leafhopper

Another dangerous pest of the rose garden is the leafhopper. After parasitism by this insect, the leaves of the flower become covered with white spots and lose their original appearance. With severe damage, yellow spots appear on the surface. To combat the parasite, chemicals and insecticides are used.

Spider mite

Spider mites cause particular harm to crops. Its oval-shaped body up to 0.5 millimeters long consists of 4 pairs of legs. The color of the body is red or orange, the larvae are greenish. Parasites damage the lower surface of rose leaves and suck out the juices, which leads to the appearance of yellow spots and loss of decorativeness of the plant.

Mite settlements can be destroyed with chemicals such as Vermitek or Fitoverm.

leaf roller

Of the rose pests, you should pay special attention to the leaf roller. Caterpillars appear on the plant in early spring, begin to chew buds and young shoots, then take up the leaves

The caterpillars are collected by hand and destroyed; in case of severe lesions, the plant is treated with insecticides.

Powdery mildew

Of the rose diseases, powdery mildew is considered the most popular. The disease manifests itself in the form of a powdery white coating on the leaves and shoots of the crop.

Prevention of powdery mildew is spraying plants with Bordeaux mixture and applying phosphorus-potassium fertilizers. At an intensive rate of disease development, roses are sprayed with a 0.5% concentration of soda ash solution.

Black spot

This is a fungal disease that appears on the leaf blades of roses in the form of brown spots from mid-summer. Severe damage leads to complete blackening, drying out and falling off of the leaves. Fungal spores overwinter in fallen leaves and shoots, which is why organic remains must be removed from the site and burned.

Even a novice gardener can handle growing spray roses. The main thing in this matter is to follow the rules of planting and caring for plants, to carry out timely treatment of flowers from diseases and pests.
