Advantages and disadvantages
Among the advantages:
- large size flowers, diameter 12-15 centimeters;
- the ability to use cut flowers for decoration;
- fast growth, pleasant aroma, disease resistance;
- the rose easily tolerates both heat and prolonged downpours;
- does not require special care, suitable even for beginners.
Let's talk about the disadvantages of roses:
- Requires shelter, despite its high resistance to frost and cold.
- You will have to prune to form a bush and regulate the flowering process.
- The soil will have to be mulched to reduce the frequency of watering.
- The bush is large in size, which does not suit all gardeners.
Agricultural technology
Before planting, immediately determine where the bush will grow, because frequent replanting will not benefit the plant. It is desirable that the area is well lit, protected from drafts, but has little ventilation. Planting can be done in spring (April) or autumn (late October-early November). Fertile, loose soil, such as loam, is suitable for Antique. Before planting, the area is dug up and nutrients are added - organic matter and mineral fertilizers, because the rose will bloom in one place for many years. For the winter in warm regions, the bush is not covered, but in cold regions it is advisable to lay it on a substrate of straw and cover it with a double layer of non-woven material on top. In spring, there is no need to rush to remove the cover immediately. Do this gradually, accustoming the plants to sunlight.
Pruning is very important for a climber. The main shoots are cut by 1/3, the side shoots are shortened to the 3rd bud. Old and dry branches are cut off close to the ground. Thanks to this pruning, the plant quickly grows young shoots. In order for the re-appearing buds to bloom as brightly as the first ones, do not forget that the faded heads must be trimmed in time. Fertilizing is carried out in the spring and after the first flowering.
An interesting feature of Antique is the ability to grow it not only as a climbing species. Thanks to its tough shoots, many rose growers grow the plant as a scrub. But according to reviews, the variety is not very suitable for arched structures, again due to poorly bending and thick shoots.
The Antique variety captivates with its unusual colors and long flowering. Rose growers praise its winter hardiness, ability to withstand bad weather and excellent immunity. The rose is unpretentious in care, so it is suitable for beginner gardeners. Of the minuses, many note that abundant flowering mainly appears only at the ends of the shoots. And due to the rigidity of the branches, difficulties arise with shelter in winter.
