Park roses: how to plant, cultivation and care in open ground

How to propagate a park rose

Most often, roses are propagated on the site by vegetative methods:

1. Cuttings. Before flowering or immediately after it, half-woody shoots are cut from the bush, shortened to 15 cm and a maximum of 2-3 leaves are left. The cuttings are rooted in water or immediately planted in the substrate. The grown shoots are transferred to the site next season.
2. Layerings. If the rose's stems are flexible, one of them can be bent to the ground and buried, leaving the top above the surface. During the summer, the layering is provided with care - watered and insulated for the winter. In the spring it is separated from the bush and transferred to a new place.
3. Division. If the park rose has grown well, in April or early May it can be dug out of the soil and cut into 2-3 parts along the rhizome. The delenki are soaked in an antiseptic and then seated in new places.

Park roses are usually not propagated by seeds. Most varieties in this case do not retain unique characteristics and degenerate.

It is recommended to propagate by division rose bushes older than 3-4 years.

Breeding methods

Park roses are propagated by vegetative methods and by grafting.

Dividing the bush

Bushes are divided in the spring, before the buds begin to develop, or in the fall, after flowering ends:

• dig up a plant;
• outline future divisions so that each has a stem and roots;
• cut with sterile pruning shears.

Parts of the bush are planted in prepared holes as seedlings with an open root system.

Graft

Roses are grafted onto a rosehip trunk or a variety suitable in height and frost resistance.

Method of grafting a cutting with a bud into the root collar of a rose hip:

• a T-shaped incision is made at the grafting site;
• the bud of the cutting is cleared of bark and inserted into the cut;
• tightly wrap the grafting site with plastic wrap.

Vaccination is carried out at the beginning of summer. The plant is hilled before wintering. At the end of February, the rootstock is cut off above the grafting site so that the plant directs its forces to the development of the scion. The grafted shoot is pinched to form a bush.

Reproduction by root suckers

The root shoots are planted a year after their appearance. Suitable season is spring. The shoots are dug up, separated with a sterile pruner from the main bush, cut by a third and planted in a new place.

Cuttings

Roses are propagated by green and woody cuttings.

Green cuttings are prepared before flowering:

• 10 centimeters of the top are cut off from young shoots at an angle;
• keep the cut end in a rooting agent solution;
• after the roots appear, they are planted in an earthen substrate consisting of garden soil and sand, or in a ready-made mixture;
• In autumn, the cuttings are transplanted into the ground.

Cuttings with dense bark are stored until spring:

• the material is cut after flowering;
• segments of shoots are buried in containers with sand;
• the blanks are stored at a temperature of +5 degrees;
• in February and March, cuttings are dug up and placed in a stimulant solution.

The stems with roots are planted in containers, watered moderately, the temperature is maintained at +20-25 degrees and bright lighting. With the establishment of warm weather, the seedlings are transferred to the ground along with a lump of earth.

Adding layerings

In the spring, a strong green shoot is selected from the outside of the bush and rooted:

• bend down to the ground;
• dig a trench at the point where the stem comes into contact with the soil;
• lower the bend of the stem into the recess and bury it;
• A bracket is installed on top or pressed down with a stone.

Over the summer, the cuttings will take root. In the fall, a new bush is dug up and separated from the main plant.

Planting and caring for park roses in the open ground

Photos about planting a park rose in open ground and caring for it show that the procedure is not associated with any particular difficulties. The gardener must only take into account the basic requirements of the crop for cultivation.

Conditions for planting and growing park roses

Park rose needs a lot of light, so it is customary to plant it in open areas. Small hills with shelter from strong winds work well.

The soil for planting park roses is chosen to be loose, neutral acidity, with good moisture and breathability. Shrubs should not be placed in close proximity to groundwater. In this case, the plant will often get sick even with good care.

Attention! Park roses are not planted in the shade. With a lack of light, the crop develops more slowly and produces few buds.

How to plant a park rose

Planting park roses in open ground in autumn or spring follows a simple scheme. First of all, you need to prepare the site. The chosen place is dug up properly, the soil is diluted with organic matter and river sand, and complex fertilizers are applied.

Immediately on the day of planting, they begin to prepare the seedlings. They must be carefully inspected and, if necessary, damaged areas of the roots must be trimmed. The plant is then soaked in a fungicidal solution for 20 minutes to prevent possible infections.

The planting of shrubs for subsequent care is carried out according to the following algorithm:

1. Dig holes 50-70 cm deep in the area.
2. Place a drainage layer of pebbles or crushed stone on the bottom.
3. Place a nutrient substrate on top, laying it down to about half of the hole.
4. Lower the seedling into the hole and straighten the roots to the sides.
5. Fill the hole with the remaining soil and water it properly.

When planting, you can deepen the park rose up to 5-6 cm.

To make caring for bushes easier, when planting several plants, leave 1-1.5 m between them.

How to care for park roses

Caring for a park rose in the garden consists of several activities:

1. Watering. The crop tolerates short-term lack of moisture well, but during periods of prolonged drought it requires moisture. With proper care, watering is carried out once a week, monitoring the condition of the soil and preventing waterlogging. Each bush uses about 30 liters of lukewarm, settled water.
2. Loosening. After watering or rain, the soil at the roots of the park rose is weeded to remove weeds and the hard crust on its surface is broken. Simple soil care improves the availability of oxygen and nutrients.
3. Feeding. They begin to fertilize the park rose from the second year of life. In the spring, preparations with a predominance of nitrogen are applied to the soil; in May, ammonium nitrate and potassium are used. After the buds wither, the bush is fed with superphosphate and compost.
4. Mulching. To ensure that moisture evaporates more slowly, the soil after planting can be sprinkled with sawdust, straw or wood chips. The layer thickness should be 5-10 cm.

Throughout the season, ash can be added to the water for watering park roses. Wood powder contains many minerals and comprehensively strengthens the bush.

Trimming

Typically, park roses do not require pruning as part of their care for the first 2-3 years after planting. Then they begin to carry out spring or autumn sanitary pruning with the removal of dry, diseased and severely twisted shoots. At the same time, the bush is formed so that the crown maintains neat outlines.

Short pre-winter pruning is not mandatory for the crop. It is performed only in the coldest regions, provided that the stems of the plant cannot be bent to the ground.

Advice! During pruning to rejuvenate the bush, shoots older than 3-4 years can be removed. They take away resources from the park rose, but no longer participate in flowering.

Preparing for winter

In general, park roses are highly cold-resistant and are not afraid of frosts down to -25 °C. But if the winter is very harsh, and we are talking about young seedlings, it is better to worry about minimal shelter as part of their care.

With the onset of autumn, the park rose should be given a final moisture-replenishing watering and the bushes should be fed with potassium and phosphorus. After this, the plants are covered with dry soil, peat or compost. The shoots can be wrapped in non-woven material. If the variety is climbing, then the stems are first bent, laid on a cushion of dry foliage and covered with spruce branches on top.

In the spring, at the first thaw, the shelter must be opened slightly to ventilate the rose bushes

Varieties

Let's get acquainted with the most spectacular and popular varieties of park roses.

Golden Celebration

The variety is suitable for growing in the climate of the middle zone, the Moscow region, as well as the Urals and Siberia. The flowers are distinguished by their splendor, magnificent rich yellow color and wonderful aroma with a hint of caramel. The variety tolerates frost quite well, and caring for the plant is easy.

Chinatown

The flowers are honey-yellow and have a fruity, rich aroma. The shrub grows spreading, branched, densely strewn with foliage and flowers. It is unpretentious and can develop quite safely even in poor soil.

Alexander MacKenzie

This is a Canadian park rose, bred specifically for growing in cool climates. The shrub is able to withstand temperatures down to -30 degrees without shelter.

Flowering is very long, lasting literally all summer. The shape of the buds is similar to that of a tulip; when they bloom, they take on a traditional shape. The petals are a beautiful shade of pink.

The variety is extremely unpretentious in care and can easily be grown anywhere in the garden - both in the sun and in the shade. In addition, it has genetic resistance to many diseases and is easy to take cuttings.

Martin Frobisher

The bush grows tall and can reach two meters. The flowers smell very pleasant and have a wonderful pink tint. The variety is undemanding and unpretentious.

Wasagaming

This variety does not require winter shelter, which makes life much easier for the gardener. The flowers are deep pink in color and have a strong, pleasant aroma. The bush can reach a height of 1.8 meters. An extremely decorative variety, a real decoration.

Graham Thomas

The variety boasts wonderful golden-yellow large flowers. The flowers are double and bloom for a long time.

William Shakespeare 2000

One of the most famous English park roses. Bright, rich red flowers bloom on the spreading bush - large, with a velvety surface. In addition, the aroma of the plant is simply delicious. Flowering continues throughout the warm season.

John Davis

According to gardeners, this Canadian variety is best suited for growing in the Moscow region and in regions with a similar climate. The plant boasts rather large pale pink flowers - lush and double. Flowers are collected in inflorescences, which make the shrub even more spectacular.

The duration of flowering is impressive - the rose retains its decorative effect until frost. The variety tolerates cold resistantly, in warm regions and without shelter, including in Belarus.

Champlain

The variety is suitable for cultivation in Siberia and the Urals, not to mention the middle zone. It has very beautiful flowers - delicate velvet scarlet with contrasting yellow stamens in the middle. Blooms continuously from early summer until the first frost.

The bush grows compact, but grows slowly, as it begins to bloom early, and immediately luxuriantly and abundantly. It is resistant to frost and easily resists various diseases.

Morden Sunrise

A delightful variety of park rose, suitable for growing in cool climates. The flowers are rich yellow with a pink border. Contrasting flowers look especially impressive against the background of dark green lush leaves. An adult plant can survive the winter without shelter and reproduces remarkably well by cuttings.

Abraham Derby

The shrub grows very quickly, moreover, it is strong and resistant to disease. Flowering occurs twice during the growing season, the flowers are beautiful - cup-shaped, apricot and honey in color. An interesting feature is that the edges of the petals are pink. The plant has a delightful aroma.

Hybrid varieties developed in recent years are capable of blooming almost all summer, decorating gardens and parks. In the conditions of our country, Canadian frost-resistant varieties are most often used, as well as English ones. Note that Canadian park roses are more unpretentious and resistant to cold, but English ones bloom more luxuriantly and last longer.

Diseases and pests

Park roses have fairly high immunity and rarely suffer from diseases. But if planting is unsuccessful or with insufficient care, some infections can cause harm to them. In particular, the following are dangerous for culture:

• powdery mildew - the fungus covers the leaves of the plant with a whitish dry coating;

  
  Powdery mildew develops in rainy, cold weather

• black spotting - black-brown spots appear on the plates, over time they grow, and the bush begins to dry out;

  
  Black spot appears on the bush closer to July

• rust - the fungus is easily recognized by the reddish growths on the stems and leaves.

  
  Rust affects the plant due to improper care and excessive watering in cloudy weather.

The fight against park rose diseases is carried out using copper sulfate and Bordeaux mixture, as well as the drug Fitosporin. To prevent illnesses, it is enough to control the volume of watering and prevent thickening.

Sometimes parasites cause damage to shrubs. Among them are:

• spider mite - the insect entangles the stems and leaves of the crop with a cobweb in dry weather;

  
  Spider mites interfere with plant photosynthesis and feed on leaf juices

• aphids - a parasite that infects bushes en masse at the beginning of summer and quickly eats up the blades;

  
  Leaves and buds begin to become deformed when infested with aphids.

• pennitsa - the insect feeds on the leaves of the plant and leaves behind characteristic whitish traces.

  
  Pennytail usually appears on rose bushes in May and June

Most pests can be dealt with in the early stages using a soap solution or garlic infusion. In case of serious lesions, insecticides are used for spraying as part of care - Actellik, Aktaru, Iskra and others.

When is it better to plant roses - in spring or autumn?

Roses are planted in spring and autumn. But when exactly it is best to do this is difficult to answer unequivocally, since the opinions of experienced flower growers are divided. There is a large group of supporters of autumn rose planting.

They are confident that autumn is the ideal period for this operation. Both the air temperature and relative humidity, as well as the condition of the soil, are favorable. By planting a seedling on warm autumn days, you can get its first flowering in the spring.

There is an opinion that it is better to plant seedlings with an open root system in the garden in the autumn, but in fact this operation can be carried out:

• in spring;
• in the summer;
• in the fall.

The color of the living root when cut should be white. If it is brownish, this indicates that the area is dead. It must be cut until a white color appears.

Summer planting is also not prohibited. This method is suitable for container roses with well-formed roots. They cannot be damaged. When planting in summer, you need to take care to protect the plants from the sun's rays and water them quite often.

Advantages of planting roses in autumn

Supporters of autumn planting will highlight the following advantages of this time of year:

1. In the spring, such seedlings immediately begin to grow rapidly and are superior in this indicator to roses that were planted in the spring.
2. In autumn there is a lot of precipitation and favorable weather with high air humidity sets in. Evaporation from the leaves is minimal and the seedlings take root in the soil faster. Rain naturally moistens the soil and there is no need to control its moisture.
3. After hot summer days, the soil has not cooled down; its temperature is still in a favorable range for quite a long time for better rooting of planting material.
4. If the date for planting roses was chosen correctly, then frosts that come late in the fall are no longer dangerous for young plants.
5. In autumn, the buyer is offered a large number of high-quality seedlings and has plenty to choose from. And in the spring they will most likely sell you last year’s seedling, which they did not buy in the fall.
6. In the spring, summer residents are very busy with various works, and in the fall they can always choose the time for this work.

Disadvantages of autumn planting

You just read about the benefits of fall planting and they are impressive. However, planting at this time has some disadvantages:

1. If you don’t guess when to plant roses in the fall and plant them earlier than the recommended time, the seedling will still grow and acquire green shoots and leaves. It will enter winter weakened and is unlikely to survive the winter safely.
2. If planting is done later than the recommended time, for example, in early November, then before the onset of cold days the young plant will not be able to take root properly and will inevitably freeze in the winter.
3. If roses are not properly covered for the winter, serious problems arise for their future life. Roses can freeze from insufficient shelter or die from fungi if they are over-covered.

Advice! If you decide to plant roses in the fall, you need to carefully monitor weather changes and do all the work in a timely manner.

What plants does it go with?

The park rose can be planted singly on the site - it looks great in solo flower beds. But more often the shrub is combined with other perennials to create the most effective compositions. The best neighbors for culture are:

• ornamental cereals;
• coniferous plants - junipers and thujas;
• foxgloves;
• geraniums and hostas;
• spirea;
• silver wormwood;
• heuchera;
• lavender and sage;
• clematis and delphiniums;
• phlox.

Park roses are often planted in front of trellises with grapes. Plants have the same care requirements. In addition, thorny varieties of decorative perennials provide natural protection from rodents for the berry crop.

In flower beds, rose bushes are usually planted in the background or in the center of compositions.

Description

Often the park rose is also called the cultivated rose hip: and indeed, these plants are very similar. However, the rose has double petals, which gives its flowers greater splendor compared to rose hips.

The rose bush reaches a height of one and a half meters, and also grows greatly in width. Therefore, when planting, it is immediately necessary to allocate enough free space for the plant, taking into account future growth.

The shrub begins to bloom early, and flowering continues for 4-5 weeks. Rose flowers are very beautiful - double, lush, delicate, exuding a pleasant aroma. One such flower can have up to 150 petals (see photo).

As for the color of the petals, the palette in this case is very wide. Park rose can be any shade from white to red. Rare black, purple, and deep orange varieties have also been bred.

In European conditions, park roses are not covered for the winter, but in our climate it is advisable to do this. However, it is also possible to select varieties for Russia that do not require shelter.

Use in design

Park roses are great for decorating gardens, parks, and city streets. Plants look great throughout the growing season, even when not blooming.

Park roses can form mono-plantings, as well as be included in compositions, shading other plants with their beauty. This shrub looks great as a decoration for gazebos, arched openings, or as the backdrop of flower beds.

They are often used for street landscaping, as they can grow even in conditions of heavy gas pollution. You can use a tall bush as an element of a hedge: both decoration and benefit.

In favorable conditions and with the necessary care, the park rose can easily live up to 25 years, delighting with its flowers every year.

Landing Features

To grow a beautiful and lush bush, you can prepare the soil in advance. The condition is not mandatory, but it will speed up growth and increase the number of flowers and buds. A mixture of humus, clay, compost and sand is suitable. Bushes are planted in early spring, but planting in autumn is also acceptable.

Expert opinion

Gardener with 17 years of experience and our expert

Ask a Question

Important! Cold-sensitive varieties are planted in the spring after frosts have passed.

A lighted and well-ventilated area is required. It is useful to select places away from trees that could cast shadows. You should not live next to flowers that have low immunity to diseases and pests. Before planting, carefully inspect the seedling for diseases and damage to the root system.

Selection and preparation of a site

Park rose is unpretentious in terms of soil, but to improve flowering it is necessary to select light soils fertilized with organic matter. Loose, fertile soil will allow the plant to quickly gain strength. Features of the planting site:

• illuminated place;
• good air circulation;
• no groundwater;
• no drafts.

It is also permissible to plant in shaded areas, but then the flowering will be weak and short-lived. If planted in heavy soil, this will slow down growth and impair flowering, but adding organic matter and regular loosening will improve the condition of the plant. Good saturation of the soil with oxygen guarantees abundant flowering.

Preparing seedlings

Park rose seedlings have an open root system. If there is clay or soil left on the roots, you cannot remove them, shake them off or knock them down yourself. The roots are immersed in water at room temperature for a day. Then follow the algorithm:

1. leaves are cut out;
2. bad root shoots are carefully cut off;
3. the grafted buds are removed.

After this, the seedling is given time to dry. Then it is treated with a solution of iron sulfate. Experienced gardeners recommend making a mixture of clay and mullein at a ratio of 2:1, dipping the root system into the mixture. After this, they are transplanted into prepared soil. This method of planting improves the health of the seedling.

Disembarkation schemes and dates

Park roses are planted either in early spring or early autumn. It is important to calculate the time so that the plant can adapt to the soil and environment. Follow the standard planting pattern, as for bush roses. Planting holes up to half a meter deep are located at a distance of 60-70 centimeters from each other. To make roses bloom more abundantly, a mixture of humus and wood ash is poured into the bottom of each hole. Planting depends on the type of root system:

1. Open. The root system is examined and painful shoots are removed. All parts affected by rotting or bacteria are cut off.
2. Closed. Carefully remove the seedling from the pot and replant it along with the earthen lump.

The seedling is “planted” in a small earthen hole left at the bottom of the planting hole. Then sprinkle and water generously. The soil is mulched to prevent the development of pathogenic bacteria. The next watering is done at the root, and at a distance of 20-30 centimeters.

The necessary conditions

It is very important to provide the seedlings with the required conditions. Only in this option will the plants grow and develop well, delighting their owner and his guests with magnificent flowering

Let's see what conditions roses need for normal growth.

One of the most significant requirements is to provide plants with sufficient nutrition area when planting.

That is, it is important to follow the recommended planting pattern. Choosing an area for planting roses. It’s good if the place is sufficiently lit, but protected from midday rays - they can burn the leaves. Experienced flower growers advise planting flowers in the western or southeastern outskirts of the garden

Then the flower garden will fully receive the morning rays, and in the middle of the day a shadow will fall on the roses. It is better to plant on a slope, in ridges raised by 30 cm. Then the roses will withstand the severest frosts, and in the spring they will not get wet from melt water. When planting, it is a good idea to take into account the acidity and moisture of the soil. Slightly acidic soils with a pH level of 6-6.5 units are considered optimal, and high soil moisture will certainly negatively affect roses. Autumn planting should be done in warm and dry weather. Air humidity should be 75-85%. Use seedlings with excellent roots and 3-5 shoots. When purchasing a seedling, scratch the root with your fingernail. A healthy root will be firm and white.

Attention! Planting roses in open ground in the fall must be completed a month before the arrival of the first frost. This time is enough for the young seedling to take root and prepare it for winter.

Simple ways to propagate rose bushes

All cultivated varieties of roses are propagated vegetatively - by grafting or budding, cuttings, layering, dividing bushes, and root suckers. Seed propagation is used only in breeding work and when growing rootstocks.

We advise amateur gardeners to use the easiest way to propagate roses - green cuttings. This method allows you to quickly obtain high quality planting material. In our opinion, in an amateur garden, self-rooted roses should occupy a dominant position, since, unlike grafted roses, if the entire above-ground part of the bush freezes and dies, they quickly recover from their own roots. Self-rooted roses have a shallow root system, so they grow well in shallow or bulk soils (40-50 cm).

Reproduction of roses by offspring. Propagation of rose flowers in this way is suitable for rooted and primarily park species. During growth and development, they form offspring in the form of underground and then aboveground stems. The following year, they form roots and are separated from the mother plant in the spring before growth resumes.

Storage and transportation of seedlings

It may take some time from the day you purchase a bush to its planting. Roses in a container will survive this period without loss if you keep the soil slightly moist. Bare-rooted seedlings do not last long.

In case of extreme necessity - for example, when transporting long distances - you can increase the shelf life of roses with ACS in several ways:

1. 1. If you need to keep the plant for 2-3 days, it is completely immersed in water and kept for 24 hours. Then wrap it in a damp natural cloth and place it in a cool place.
2. 2. Planting roses in a shady area. Only the ends of the shoots should peek out from under the ground. The plant is placed almost horizontally, covered with soil and watered.
3. 3. A positive result is obtained when the seedling is kept in a refrigerator or cellar with a temperature of up to +7.

How to plant and care properly

It is important to adhere to this scheme:

• Initially, you need to decide on the site and soil for planting the plant.
• The best option is a sunny area, slightly ventilated on each side. Park roses also grow in the shade, but the flowers will be smaller and paler.
• The soil should be loose; soil with a high humus index is considered ideal. If there is a lot of clay in the soil, then before planting you should fill the hole with sand, humus and rotted compost. Fertilizers and a little clay should also be added to the sandy soil; the further growth of the plant depends on this.

Preparation of seedlings: Before planting, seedlings are left for a day in ordinary water, and then they are disinfected.

The plant is planted in the spring, preferably before May, or in early autumn, from August 30 to September 15-20. Planting during this period will allow the seedlings to take root well in the ground and not be damaged by frost.

If the seedlings have a closed root system, then planting can be done in the summer. It is worth adding hydrogel to each hole; this will allow the soil to retain the required amount of moisture.

It is necessary to properly care for the soil and the roots of the plant. The soil near the bushes is regularly loosened, cracks and weeds are eliminated.

Watering is carried out rarely, once every twelve days. 10-15 liters of water are poured under each bush.

This amount of moisture allows water to penetrate deeply into the root system. With proper watering, the roots go deep enough into the ground, this gives the plant winter hardiness.

The rules of care are simple, compliance with them is the key to the further growth and flowering of the park rose, watch the video:

Fertilizer and fertilizing for better development

In spring, roses need magnesium, iron, and boron. They contain specially selected rose fertilizers. The plants are also fertilized with manure at this time. Then the park roses begin to be fed at the end of August to strengthen the roots. Fertilizers with a high content of potassium, phosphorus and calcium are applied to the bushes. The second feeding occurs in September. Add a bucket of water under the bushes with potassium monophosphate (16 g) and superphosphate (15 g) dissolved in it. The last feeding is done in October, adding organic matter in the form of rotted compost.

Roses need to be fed with special fertilizers

Recommendations

To make growing and caring for park roses easier, you should use a few tips from experienced gardeners. This will help eliminate common mistakes among beginners.

Useful tips:

1. The planting hole should be 2-3 times deeper than the height of the seedling.
2. Only rotted litter or manure is used as fertilizer. Fresh can cause root rot.
3. When planting, the roots of a seedling can be dipped in a clay solution to protect it from nematodes and speed up growth.
4. Lime is added to soils with high acidity.
5. Park roses should not be planted too close so that they do not shade each other.
6. To protect against pests, tobacco ash is added to the soil next to the bush.
7. Flowers should be removed from the plant immediately after wilting.

When growing park roses, it is important to follow basic agrotechnical standards. Improper care can lead to premature wilting and death of the plant.

Classification and varietal diversity

Park roses can be divided into wild, old, garden and modern. Hybrid varieties are mentioned separately. Gardeners divide wild roses into climbing and non-climbing roses. The most popular varieties:

• Bourbon;
• Bursalt;
• Ladies'.

Garden hybrids are more adapted to natural conditions. Remontant, miniature, and polyanthus varieties appeared among the varieties. It is permissible to simplify the classification into two categories:

• Canadian rose. They are often planted in parks and commercial areas. They are not demanding in terms of care, the main thing is to plant them in a sunny place.
• English rose. More capricious varieties with a stable growth rate. They have good immunity to pests and diseases.

Modern gardeners have “tamed” Canadian varieties and began to actively use them to decorate their gardens. There is no need to select a special soil composition or monitor the watering and fertilizing regime. The main thing is to choose a well-lit place, and select healthy seedlings before planting.

Canadian

The most common varieties in parks, squares, and commercial areas. In terms of care they are close to rose hips. They tolerate cold, low temperatures, and changes in humidity very well. Does not die in direct sunlight and does not require the installation of artificial shelter. Conventionally, they are divided into once and repeatedly flowering. In the first case, special attention is paid to the shoots; if you cut off last year’s shoots, you can’t expect new flowering. General characteristics:

• easy to care for;
• do not die from temperatures;
• do not break, do not lose inflorescences after rain and wind;
• not susceptible to diseases or pest attacks.

A group of plants does not require shelter and bending down for the winter. Suitable for growing both individually and in a flower arrangement. Weaving ones are used to form flower arches, openings, and decorate fences and hedges. After flowering is complete, the bushes do not lose their aesthetic appeal.

English

English varieties are more capricious. They do not have good frost resistance. Inflorescences may suffer after adverse weather conditions. General characteristics:

1. require shelter in winter;
2. stable growth rate;
3. high immunity to diseases;
4. bloom regularly throughout the season.

A large number of flowers remain open for a long time and do not fly around. They emit a subtle pleasant aroma. Available in various shades from snow-white to purple. Easy to plant, but require care. They are divided into bushy and climbing. They can grow both in the shade and in well-lit areas.

It is not susceptible to the negative effects of direct sunlight, but can die from severe frost. It survives drought without losing inflorescences, does not deteriorate from too much moisture, and the root system does not rot. During the cold season, you will need to build a shelter.

Pros and cons of growing

Plants are grown in the country, in parks, and in gardens. Gained popularity due to its attractiveness and simple fit. Cultivated rose hips, hybrids, and ancient varieties have a number of advantages:

Easy care. There is no need to prepare the soil or provide drainage. Just a lighted area and regular watering will do.

1. Wintering. Most varieties are resistant to cold. Rare representatives require shelter during cold periods.
2. Bloom. It has a long flowering period from a month to two to three.
3. Feeding. Does not require special fertilizers; a standard complex mixture is suitable.

Modern hybrids have stable immunity to diseases and pests. Suitable for growing both in the sunny side and in partial shade and shade. The disadvantages include a large area, since the bushes grow greatly. If shoots are cut off from once-flowering bushes, the plant will not bloom again.
