Rose spray orange. The most beautiful spray roses

Garden crops such as spray roses amaze the observer with incredible beauty. These low compact plants appeared relatively recently, but quickly gained popularity among gardeners.

The ever-increasing demand for spray has led to the fact that more and more varieties begin to appear in the world selection every year. Next, we will get acquainted with the description of the most common varieties.

Lydia

It is considered the ancestor of many cultures. The variety was bred by Dutch breeders at the end of the last century. The plant is distinguished by a sprawling bush up to 70 centimeters in height, flowers up to 4 centimeters in diameter with pink petals.

Rose Mimi Eden

It differs from the rest in beautiful white inflorescences with a pink tint. In the stage of formation, the buds are apricot, when blooming they become pink. The initial color of the petals changes to white under prolonged exposure to sunlight.

Tamango

A bush of a compact decorative rose Tamango reaches a height of 50 cm. The buds of this culture up to 7 centimeters in diameter consist of numerous dense scarlet petals. Up to 12 peduncles can be placed on each branch at the same time. A feature of the variety is considered to be high winter hardiness.

Tiramisu

The Dutch rose Tiramisu is distinguished by two-color buds. The height of the plant bush does not exceed 50 centimeters. The flowers are small, 12-15 pieces per brush. The outer side of the petals is terracotta, the outer side is cream.

Orange

The orange variety lives up to its name, because it has bright orange petals. The buds in appearance resemble a tea rose, their diameter does not exceed 4 centimeters.

Rubicon

Rubicon spray roses have large goblet purple buds. These flowers create a light, sophisticated fragrance.

Typhoon

Terry rose Typhoon has orange-red petals that turn yellow closer to the middle.

All varieties of spray roses are often used to create bridal bouquets.

Site selection and soil preparation

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

Varieties with light petals should preferably be planted in sunny areas, and roses with dark inflorescences are recommended to be placed in partial shade. If this is not done, then with high solar activity, the intense color of plant buds will soon become light.

It can take up to three months to prepare quality land for flowers, so for planting plants in the fall, the soil must be prepared from summer or in October if planting 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 on the bayonet of a shovel with simultaneous transshipment of the earth. Next, a ditch is made 40-50 centimeters deep and the top soil with fertilizers is poured to the bottom, and then the bottom layer mixed with fertilizers. For several months of standing, the earth in the ditch sags and is saturated with useful substances. Along with this, excess moisture also disappears.
3. Some flower growers immediately plant plants in pre-dug soil with dug recesses, but this method is considered less effective.

In the case of planting plants in previously prepared, transshipped soil, the root system will develop rapidly and receive unhindered access to oxygen.

Many gardeners do things differently. They dig up the site on a spade bayonet without prior leveling in the fall. This will help to freeze the topsoil and destroy pathogenic bacteria and microorganisms harmful to roses, pest larvae. Fertilizers added during this period will be able to dissolve over the winter.

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

During the preparation of the soil for the rose garden, it is necessary to take into account the influence of predecessors. It is known that roses do not grow well in areas where Potentilla, cherry, quince or hawthorn were previously located. In such areas, a 50 cm layer of earth is removed and replaced with new soil.

The acid composition of the soil can be determined by litmus paper. So red indicates acidic soil, blue indicates neutral acid soil. On acidic soil, sorrel and horsetail usually grow, on alkaline soil - clover or horseradish. In the presence of alkaline soil, superphosphate or compost, needles are added to its composition. Wood ash or bone meal is added to acidic soil.

How to choose the right seedlings

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

Before buying, carefully inspect the bush and its root system for damage and other defects, such as mold and dried patches. In the case of purchasing plants in a bag, pay special attention to the condition of the soil, it should be crumbly, not have a specific smell. The best choice would be a strong healthy seedling with white roots on the bottom.

The successful combination of the scion with the stock is indicated by an even callus at the grafting site.

Preparing seedlings for planting

Before carrying out planting work, the stems of rose seedlings must be cut. Along with this, the removal of buds, damaged and shrunken branches is carried out. On the main shoots of the bush, 4 ... 5 eyes are left. less developed stems must contain at least 3 buds. It is also necessary to slightly trim the lateral roots and remove the damaged ones.

For disinfection and speedy healing, carefully coat all the cuts with garden pitch.

After carrying out these operations, plants with open roots are placed for 12 hours in a solution of water and sodium humate. To prevent drying, the roots of the seedlings are dipped into a mash, which is made of clay, water and a root stimulant, the components are mixed to a creamy consistency. After that, the root system is carefully wrapped with moistened burlap.

Landing

Planting spray roses can be done by both an experienced gardener and an amateur. The entire workflow can be divided into several stages:

• we dig a landing hole with a depth and width of 45-50 centimeters;
• we fill the bottom of the ditch with drainage in the form of small pebbles and coarse sand;
• scatter organic matter (compost and humus);
• sprinkle nutrients with a thin layer of earth;
• carefully straighten the roots, place the seedling in a hole and sprinkle it with earth.

After carrying out such actions, we water the roses with warm water. For each bush, you need to use 6-8 liters of liquid.

cultivation

Further care for spray roses is simple. All that is required is to loosen the aisles in time and remove weeds, as well as water and fertilize, cut the shoots on lush bushes. Next, we will deal with all the events in more detail.

Watering and fertilizing

Plants need regular abundant watering throughout the growing season, and especially during flowering with persistent drought. Laying mulch in the root zone of the plant will help simplify the process. A thick layer of sawdust or lowland peat will prevent moisture from evaporating.

In the absence of a mulching layer, the soil must be constantly loosened and weeds removed. In hot weather, burns may appear on the leaves of roses. To prevent this phenomenon, the bushes are watered with warm water in the evening by sprinkling.

For long intensive flowering, spray roses must receive additional nutrients that are applied to the soil in the form of dressings.

At the initial stage of development, before the appearance of the first buds, nitrogen is needed. Flowering shrubs take a significant amount of phosphorus and potash fertilizers, as well as trace elements from the soil.

Correctly cut and form a bush

Not only old, but also young bushes are shaped. After pruning in the fall, strong lignified branches with buds should remain on the plant. Old and shrunken, as well as wind-damaged shoots are not left on the plants. When pruning roses, the following rules must be observed:

1. use a pre-disinfected sharp pruner or other tool for work;
2. pruning is carried out from the bottom to the top of the bush;
3. sections are carried out above the external kidney at an angle of 45 degrees;
4. if the plant is affected by diseases and pests, the wounds are covered with garden pitch.

The technology of forming a bush depends on the variety of culture. So short pruning is used for heavily bushy plants. With an average formation, the bush is shortened by half the length, leaving 30 cm stems with 5 ... 6 buds. Long pruning means removing 2/3 of the branch helps to achieve early flowering.

Similar work is carried out in the autumn in the evening in the presence of warm weather. During the formation, the 5 most developed shoots are determined on the bush, the rest are removed under the root.

A healthy shoot does not have a large number of lateral branches, has a dark green bark, and has a diameter of at least 1 centimeter.

On the selected stems, five buds are counted from below and an even cut of wood is made. During work, make sure that the upper kidney remains on the outside. A distance of 1 centimeter retreats from it and an oblique cut is made towards the middle of the bush. After pruning the wound, the plants are covered with garden pitch and the branches are removed.

Preparing for winter

For normal wintering, it is necessary to make a hill from the ground above the shoots of plants. Before hilling, non-lignified shoots, flowers and leaves are removed. Experienced gardeners already in the last decade of October cut off all the flowers and buds of roses. This will help harden the plants and prevent the use of additional nutrients from the soil. Sand or dry soil is poured over the stems of roses to a height of 35 centimeters. Next, the hill is covered with sawdust, low-lying peat or spruce branches.

Do not take soil from the row spacing of flowers, such actions can cause damage to the root system of plants.

There is another method of sheltering roses for the winter, air-dry. It consists in the device of an improvised frame made of metal wire up to 50 centimeters high. Further, this design is furnished with foam rubber, foam sheets or reeds. Next, a plastic film is pulled over the frame, which will protect the plant from moisture penetration. To prevent the destruction of the material, hanging pieces of the film are sprinkled with earth. An impromptu shelter can be ventilated before the onset of cold weather with negative temperatures below -15 degrees.

How can you reproduce

In practice, several methods of propagation of spray roses are used:

1. With the help of seeds. A laborious method that involves the collection and stratification of grains, the cultivation of seedlings.
2. Rooting roses by layering is carried out in the spring. With this method of reproduction, one of the lashes is bent from the mother bush and covered with earth. By autumn, this shoot will have its own roots, after which it can be transplanted to a new place, as a separate plant.
3. With the help of root suckers. Such plants are separated from the mother bush a year after the appearance, when they have their own root system.
4. Cutting method. In the middle part of the shoot, several pieces of the stem are cut and placed in a solution of water and a growth stimulator. In the future, the plant is rooted in a special greenhouse, school under a certain temperature and humidity regime.
5. In the case of dividing the bush, the rose is cut into pieces. At the same time, each plot should have its own root system and 2 ... 3 developed buds.

The fastest way of propagation is considered to be the division of the bush. In this case, spray roses retain varietal characteristics. The use of seed material is practiced by breeders to obtain new types of crops.

Pest and disease control

Aphid

For effective pest control, a soap solution with the addition of mustard powder or chemicals Karbofos, Aktelik, Rogor is used.

leafhopper

Pale yellow or white leafhopper with an elongated body does not pose a danger to the plant. The main harm is caused by insect larvae that feed on the juices of the plant.

spider mite

You can detect the pest with a magnifying glass or by thin cobwebs that bind the leaves.

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

leaf roller

Of the rose pests, special attention should be paid to the leaflet. Caterpillars appear on the plant in early spring, begin to gnaw buds and young shoots, then take on the leaves. Caterpillars are harvested by hand and destroyed, with strong 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 culture.

The reason for its occurrence may be moderate temperature and high humidity.

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

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 leaves. Fungus spores overwinter in fallen leaves and shoots, which is why organic remains must be removed from the site and burned.

Another effective solution to the problem is the spring treatment of rose leaves with Bordeaux mixture.

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 processing of flowers from diseases and pests.

Spray roses are low (from 45-60 to 90 cm) compact bushes with highly branched peduncles, on which there is a large number of beautiful small roses of various shapes and colors. Let's go over the photo and description of the varieties of spray roses that are now available in the Russian Federation and the CIS.

Rose spray - what is it and how is it used in garden design

Spray roses are without a doubt one of the newest varieties of roses. And the debate about which group they belong to has not subsided so far. But the classification of roses is rather conditional and only time will put everything in its place. The only thing that can be said about these roses is that they originated from the Floribunda group.

Each such spray-rose branch is a whole bouquet. Sometimes these roses are called bouquet or border roses. These varieties attract attention with their incredibly elegant appearance and decorative effect, abundant flowering that lasts for a long time, as well as versatility in use (borders, in the garden, cutting, side containers).

The use of spray roses in landscape design (photo ideas)

Multi-flowered roses like the spray look great in regular style gardens. The brightness of the selected variety is easily emphasized by group plantings and sheared borders:

But even against the background of lawns and paths, spray roses also look amazing, it’s not for nothing that they are called “border” roses:

And for container plantings, it is better to choose medium-sized sprays:

Of course, the above varieties with photos and descriptions are far from a complete list of this subgroup. However, we emphasize once again that many varieties of spray roses have good resistance to adverse factors, so they will surely find fans among gardeners.

Roses have been cultivated for many centuries, during which selection work has not stopped. The result was the emergence of many very showy varieties. Currently, the latter are classified and assigned to various groups, among which Spray roses are very popular among florists and gardeners.

To understand what a Spray rose is, it is enough to study a little information about the group of varieties united under this name. More recently, it has been isolated from the wider Floribunda group, which is especially loved by landscape designers.

The main characteristics of the Spray group are short stature of plants (maximum height does not exceed 90 cm) and abundant flowering, in which about 15 medium-sized flowers bloom.

Description of varieties

The most popular flower varieties of the Spray group are presented below:

1. Typhoon - bushes with a height of up to 70 cm are covered in summer with lush orange inflorescences that caress the eye until the arrival of autumn frosts.
2. Spray rose Lydia is the result of the work of the Dutch breeding institute. The height of the bush does not exceed a height of 70 cm and is especially valued for its resistance to cold, as well as immunity to various diseases. Blooming with medium-sized flowers with pink petals is noted throughout the summer season.
3. Shine is an American variety, considered the most successful among yellow roses. Neat shrubs are loved around the world for their delicate aroma and abundance of flowers, which are only 4 cm in diameter.
4. Variety Tamango is a spectacular variety, often used because of its short stature (50 cm) for framing borders. During flowering, which lasts until autumn frosts, many bright red buds bloom, reaching a diameter of 7.5 cm after blooming. At this time, the garden is filled with a pleasant aroma.
5. Victoria is a representative of the Spray group with pink flowers, which fades to a very pale tone as it blooms.
6. Fire Flash is another promising variety, the two-tone color of which cannot leave flower growers indifferent. Medium-sized buds are painted in yellow and red tones, creating an atmosphere of warmth and comfort in the garden.
7. Stars and Stripes - when flowering rose bushes of this variety, small white flowers are observed, decorated with raspberry stripes. The aroma, which can be enjoyed throughout the summer, while the plants are in bloom, is distinguished by sweet notes.
8. Rosa Macarena is a delicate variety, distinguished by pinkish-yellow inflorescences, consisting of 10-15 flowers. Bushes are suitable not only for decorating a garden, but also for terraces, balconies, where a culture with a height of up to 60 cm grows in pots.
9. Fire King is a luxurious variety, represented by bright red roses that please the eyes of passers-by and the grower for a long time. The height of the bushes can reach 80 cm.

Site selection and soil preparation

In order for a flower to please with its beauty for a long time, you should correctly plant a bush in open ground, taking into account the place and requirements for soil composition. For Spray roses, you need to choose sunny areas. Due to the culture's susceptibility to fading and loss of color brightness, plants can also be planted in slightly shaded areas.

For varieties of this group, the soil is of no small importance. Its preparation should be started in the fall, when the site is dug up to the depth of a shovel bayonet with the simultaneous introduction of humus, peat or compost. The rose will thrive in fertile soil with a loose, well-draining structure.

Landing at their summer cottage

The optimal time for planting roses from the Spray group is in the spring, when the threat of return frosts has passed. In the southern regions with a mild climate, planting in the fall is acceptable: the flowers will have time to take root well and overwinter.

Landing technology consists in performing simple manipulations:

1. Holes with dimensions of 50x50 cm are dug in the selected and pre-prepared area.
2. If the groundwater is close enough, then a drainage layer in the form of pebbles, small gravel or other building material is placed at the bottom of the planting pits.
3. Plants are lowered into the holes, after which the roots straighten out.
4. Plants are dug in, after which the near-stem circles are compacted to exclude the presence of air gaps around the roots, leading to the development of rot.
5. After planting, the seedlings are watered abundantly.

Care and cultivation of flowers

Spray roses, planting and caring for which are quite simple, still need systematic care from the grower.

1. Watering - in order for the plant to develop fully and not suffer from drought, it is recommended to regularly carry out water procedures, moistening the bush under the root in order to avoid the development of fungal diseases. When organizing an irrigation system, one should be guided by the principle of moderation.
2. Soil treatment - after natural or artificial precipitation, the trunk circles are loosened and cleared of weeds. You can cover the beds with mulch, which will keep the loose structure of the soil longer, keep it clean, and also prevent the rapid evaporation of moisture.
3. Top dressing and fertilizers - Spray roses are fed throughout the growing season. Depending on the growth phase, the composition of top dressings changes: in spring, the bushes are fed with nitrogen, which promotes the rapid growth of shoots, and in the summer, at the stages of budding and flowering phases, phosphorus and potassium become the main macronutrients.
4. Pruning is an important component of care, which is carried out several times a year. In summer, faded inflorescences, damaged and growing shoots are removed. When the flowering is completed completely, and the foliage falls off, the branches are shortened to 20 cm. Regular pruning stimulates the development of new shoots and the formation of a large number of flowers.
5. Preparing for winter - despite the fact that most varieties of spray roses are cold-resistant, in order for the plants to overwinter well, they should be covered. The trunk circles are covered with mulch, and frames are formed above the bushes, covered after the first frosts with spruce branches or other non-woven material. Roses have a tendency to decay, so full shelter is carried out only when frosty weather sets in.

How can you reproduce

The most popular way to propagate the queen of flowers from the Spray group is cuttings, which are carried out from the end of spring to the onset of autumn.

At that time:

• thin processes of the lower tier are selected, which have 3-4 leaves;
• cuttings with 2 buds at the bottom and one leaf at the top are cut at an angle;
• planting material is buried in the ground, where it is covered with glass or bottles;
• cuttings are systematically ventilated and moistened;
• rooting is noted after 2 months.

Prevention of diseases and pests

Spray roses are quite resistant to pathogenic lesions, the development of which, as a rule, is noted during rainy weather. The most common are peronosporosis and gray rot. Diseases should be controlled with fungicides. Of the pests that can be observed on the shoots of the culture, aphids and spider mites stand out, which are easily destroyed by insecticide treatments.

In order to prevent rose Spray in the spring is treated with a tank mixture containing an insecticide and a copper-containing fungicide. It is also important to remove thickening shoots in a timely manner, preventing the development of the fungus. And in the fall, it is important to clean out all plant debris from under the bushes, which serve as bedding for the overwintering stock of the pest.

Use in landscape design

Due to their low height, Spray roses are often used to frame garden paths. Also, plants look luxurious in the foreground in the front garden or in composition with deciduous shrubs and conifers. Often roses can be seen on terraces, verandas as potted crops that perfectly complement the overall interior.

Rosa Spray is a spectacular plant that may differ depending on the variety in height, color and structure of flowers. However, all members of the group are good and beautiful in their own way.

Spray roses - beautiful border roses

Speaking of roses, one cannot ignore such a group of varieties as spray roses or, as they are also called, bouquet roses - this is a low-growing border rose, which, according to its main features, is part of a large group of Floribunda roses.

They combine all the best qualities of a floribunda: abundant, long and continuous flowering, unpretentiousness and endurance in the conditions of our latitudes - with a gentle charm of miniature.

Appearance of spray roses

Small, compact, upright bushes 40 to 90 cm high, small flowers (3-6 cm) are collected in inflorescences, but each bud has its own peduncle, extending from the skeletal branch.

Spikes may be absent or in small numbers. It blooms profusely, with proper pruning, almost continuously, from the first warm nights to the very frosts.

Care and agricultural technology

Despite their small size and apparent fragility, spray roses are quite unpretentious and resistant to external factors.

With spray roses, you should prepare a pit 45x45 cm, pour a layer of drainage and compost or any other on the bottom of the pit, form a mound on which to spread the root system of the seedling, then the pit is covered with earth and the soil is compacted to remove all possible voids. Near the plant, it is necessary to make a small depression where water will collect. After planting, spray rose seedlings with warm water at the rate of 8 liters per 1 plant.

In general, caring for roses from this group is almost no different from caring for or hybrid tea roses. Spray roses love regular watering during the growing season and flowering. For better conservation of moisture in the soil, it is advisable to mulch or loosen the ground under the bushes to a depth of 10 cm. They treat top dressing very well, especially in summer, responding with abundant and long flowering. In the period from mid-spring to the beginning of flowering, nitrogen-containing fertilizers should be preferred; in the summer months, plants need more phosphorus, potash and others, because. flower formation increases the need for minerals. It is advisable to prevent the soil from drying out and spray the bushes, taking precautions (avoid direct sunlight to avoid sunburn and do not spray at night, so as not to provoke the appearance of fungal infections). For winter, it is desirable to a height of 2-3 buds, especially in latitudes with little snow and windy winters.

Like all floribundas, spray roses do not like prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, drafts and strong winds that dry out the soil, so a place that is slightly shaded and moderately ventilated is well suited for planting, for example, in the shade of fruit trees, or deciduous with not too dense crown.

Spray roses are carried out according to the principles common with many garden roses:

• spring pruning carried out immediately after the opening of the bushes. All frozen shoots and those affected by diseases are removed. Annual branches are shortened to 6-7 buds, last year's and older ones - up to 3-4.
• summer pruning allows you to achieve continuity of flowering, and is mainly aimed at the prevention of various diseases and thickening of the bush. All shoots growing inside the bush, branches affected by diseases, damaged buds are cut out.
• pruned in autumn all weak shoots that will definitely not endure frost, shoots growing inside the bush, the tops of the shoots of this year are cut off.

It should be remembered that pruning must be carried out with a sharp tool that does not allow the cut to be cut, the places of cuts on stiff shoots are processed with garden pitch, and the cut plane should be directed inside the bush.

Spray roses in landscape design

Due to their low height, spray roses are ideal for borders and for decorating small, gentle slopes, elevated flower beds. Miniature spray rose bushes allow you to bring them to the fore even in a small rose garden, highlighting the beauty of taller plants.
