Rose spray orange. Pink spray or spray roses: description, varieties, planting and care. Planting and caring for a bush

There are no boundaries for perfection. It is easy to see this when looking at the new magnificent varieties of roses, striking in their splendor or, on the contrary, modest exquisite beauty.

No matter how many new beautiful flowers appear in our gardens, the rose always remains the queen among them. Recently introduced spray roses have won a place in the sun and in the hearts of fans of these magnificent flowers.

Spray - spray buds

Spray - a new group of roses, in many ways similar to the floribunda group. Small, ideally shaped flowers, collected in large inflorescences, are very suitable for a figurative name, which means “splashes” in English. Each branch, strewn with numerous charming flowers, resembles a miniature bouquet. Tenderness, sophistication and at the same time solemnity characterize flower arrangements in which spray roses are present. A photo, even the most skillful, cannot convey the beauty of these flowers.

Spray roses have bushy but low bushes, ideal for growing in containers and in small beds. Plant height reaches 60-80 cm. Spray roses bloom all summer until frost.

Spray Rose Care

Constantly and profusely blooming roses of this group are an excellent choice for growing as a cut flower, as well as for decorating patios, balconies, flower beds. They are considered unpretentious, not requiring special care.

For cuttings, thin lower shoots with 3-4 leaves are selected, cut off obliquely, leaving two lower buds and one leaf. This procedure is best done in the summer, from May to August. Cuttings are planted in a mixture of peat and sand in a ratio of 3: 1 or in a special soil for roses. From above they are covered with transparent bags or glass jars. Two months later, a young rooted bush is formed.

Spray roses need exactly the same care as all other representatives of the Rosaceae family, they also need top dressing, loosening, watering, pruning, removal of wilted flowers. Plants should not be watered too often, only as the top layer of soil dries. Mulching helps retain moisture longer, so you should not neglect it.

Spray roses spend a lot of energy on flowering, they cannot do without top dressing. Mineral fertilizers, especially of prolonged action, should be applied in the spring, during the formation of shoots. A second top dressing will be required after the first wave of flowering.

To rejuvenate the bushes, it is necessary to prune several times during the season. First of all, damaged and dry branches should be removed and only strong shoots should be left. Without pruning, roses lose their decorative effect, and flowering worsens. Many people think that roses are capricious and difficult to grow. In fact, these are easily cultivated flowers and the most unpretentious among them are spray roses.

Varieties of miniature roses

The group includes many exclusively ornamental varieties with distinctive features in color, size and shape of flowers and leaves. Here is some of them:

• rose varieties Arrow Folies has purple-red flowers with white strokes, glossy dark green foliage and strong stems with large spikes. These beautiful roses bloom profusely and practically do not get sick, the buds are not damaged by rain. Suitable for mass plantings.
• Abundant and long lasting varieties Raymond priva have a rare lilac, with a purple tint, color. The bright yellow eye of the middle of the bud very nicely complements the rare beauty of the flower. The bushes are low, up to 30 cm. The plant tolerates heat well. Used for groups and borders.
• One of the popular varieties Allegory. Differs in original terry flowers of an openwork form and saturated orange-salmon or coral color. Roses have almost no fragrance. Bushes erect, up to 70 cm tall. Twigs are a whole bunch of 25-30 buds. Blooms throughout the season.
• Variety Lydia many call the spray rose pattern. A small bush during flowering is completely hidden under pretty bunches of perfect shape. Plays of color from creamy pink to almost raspberry look very impressive. Lydia blooms continuously and profusely, tolerates cold weather well, gets sick a little. Grow it for cutting or to decorate the garden in the foreground of mixborders and flower beds.

There are no boundaries for perfection. And classically luxurious roses on long stems, and tiny roses collected in inflorescences always remain the queens of flowers. Vivat, queen!

The rose is the most popular and beloved representative of flowering plants, which can be seen not only in flower beds near private houses, but also in flowerbeds in city parks and various public recreation areas. The high popularity of this plant has forced breeders to work on breeding new varieties. They have a wide color spectrum, as well as high resistance to various diseases and adverse climatic conditions.

One of the latest achievements in the field of breeding has become a spray rose. The new plant quickly gained a leading position in the sales ranking of this group of products due to its high aesthetic parameters and undemanding to agrotechnical measures.

What it is?

Rose spray (pink spray) is an innovative development that arose as a result of the joint work of professional botanists and breeders in the 20th century. The second name for flowers is patio roses. Small flowers are very popular with florists, who use them to create wedding and holiday arrangements and bridal bouquets.

Distinctive features - the small size of the bush, the maximum height of the plant is not more than 80 cm, the formation of more than 9 buds on one branch. Peduncles can be both large and medium, and small, the diameter of which is in the range from 3 cm to 8 cm.

The main advantages of this plant:

• mass fruiting over a long period;
• unpretentiousness;
• resistance to low temperatures and adverse climatic conditions;
• lack of prickly spines;

Landing Rules

Spray rose is an unpretentious type of ornamental plant that does not require increased attention. To obtain beautiful flowers, experienced gardeners recommend using the secrets of plant care and reproduction.

Selection and storage of seedlings

The right choice of seedlings is the key to obtaining a strong and beautiful plant. Plants packaged in plastic bags with a nutritious soil mixture and with an open root system go into mass sale. Breeders recommend giving preference to the first type of flowers.

Signs of a healthy plant:

• strong root system;
• no mechanical damage;
• lack of dry branches and signs of a fungal disease;
• the presence of a pleasant earthy aroma and loose soil in the container;
• the presence of living white shoots at the ends of the roots.

Before planting, it is imperative to trim the planting material, during which buds, dry branches and damaged stems are removed. The maximum number of eyes should be 5 pieces. The cut points must be treated with garden pitch.

Placement of seedlings in water with sodium humate overnight is a prerequisite before planting.

Drop off time and place

The choice of planting site for your favorite plant depends on its variety. For some species, the most favorable place for growth and development are sunny flower beds, and for others, places with partial shade, where the buds will always have juicy and rich shades.

The landing process consists of several main stages:

• formation of a landing pit with a diameter of 50x50;
• laying a drainage layer, for which it is necessary to choose river sand and fine gravel;
• the formation of a nutrient layer, which consists of fallen leaves, humus, manure and organic fertilizers;
• placing a bush in a prepared pit;
• backfilling the plant with earth while compacting the soil around the stem;
• abundant watering of the bush with clean water at room temperature in the amount of 10 liters per planting hole.

If planting is planned for autumn, then from the summer it is necessary to actively prepare the land in the flower bed.

• cleaning of weeds and their root system;
• digging the site with turning over the soil coma;
• digging the necessary trench;
• mixing the upper fertile layer with mineral fertilizers and placing the mixture at the bottom of the pit;
• keeping the landing pit for several months.

If planting is scheduled for spring, gardeners recommend simply digging up the site and adding fertilizer to the ground. By the arrival of spring, the soil will be enriched with minerals, and for planting it will be enough just to dig a hole of the required size.

Before forming a flower bed, one must take into account the type of plants that grew in front of the roses. Quince, cherry and hawthorn will have a negative impact on the rose garden. To create favorable conditions for the growth and development of flowers, it is necessary to replace the topsoil.

To normalize the acid balance, ash should be added to acidic soil, and humus, compost and needles should be added to alkaline soil.

How to propagate?

To obtain new plants, breeders distinguish several methods of reproduction:

• seminal- growing seedlings from the collected seed material;
• rooting branches- digging the lower branch of the mother bush to form the root system of a new plant;
• root offspring- separation of young plants with developed roots from the main bush;
• cuttings- cutting off pieces of the stem and placing them in a growth stimulator, as well as planting shoots in greenhouses and greenhouses;
• division- division of the whole bush into separate independent parts.

How to care?

Caring for an ornamental plant will not cause difficulties even for novice gardeners. This process consists of the following procedures:

• loosening of the upper fertile layer;
• timely removal of weeds;
• regular watering and fertilizing;
• correct pruning.

top dressing

An ornamental plant needs constant feeding throughout the growing season. The most important type of fertilizer in the summer is nitrogen, and in early autumn, experienced gardeners recommend potash and phosphorus fertilizers.

Watering

Regular watering is the main condition for abundant flowering. The amount of water depends on the ambient temperature conditions and should be increased during periods of drought. A thick layer of mulch will significantly slow down the drying of the soil, and reduce water consumption for irrigation.

To prevent the appearance of burns on plants, experts recommend watering only after sunset.

Disease and pest control

Botanists consider aphids, cicadas, spider mites and leafworms to be the most dangerous pests of spray roses. To combat these insects, it is advisable to use a soap solution with mustard powder and red pepper, as well as special chemicals.

Among the most dangerous diseases of roses, powdery mildew and black spot occupy a leading position. To prevent the appearance of these diseases, regularly treat flower beds with Bordeaux liquid and potassium preparations. At the first sign of the appearance of affected areas, treat the plants with a solution of soda.

Preventive pruning will help prevent the appearance of pests and diseases. Cut shoots must be taken out of the site and burned.

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.

These amazing flowers - spray roses - amaze with their splendor and at the same time modest exquisite beauty. Spray roses are a new group of roses that have appeared recently. They are based on floribunda roses. Spray roses have low compact bushes (40-50 cm), on a branch can be scattered, like sprays up to 15 buds, large flowers. These are elegant and incredibly beautiful.

Spray roses are unpretentious, winter-hardy and decorative. They are also called bouquets.

Growing spray roses - planting and care

This group of roses is used in the design of wedding bouquets, which is why they are considered the flowers of brides. Just one branch, and for the bride a whole bouquet.

Spray roses

Spray roses do not differ in care from other types of roses. They need fertilizer. In order for the bushes to grow intensively, it is necessary from spring to the end of July to feed them with nitrogen-containing dressings. For good flowering, microelements such as magnesium, potassium, phosphorus, etc. are introduced in the summer. The bush especially needs to be fed during the formation of buds, then after flowering.

Spray roses in a bouquet

There is a lot of information from amateur gardeners that banana peels are buried under rose bushes, which contain the nutrients these flowers need. They say that the flowering becomes better. The main thing when digging in is not to damage the roots. Try it too!

Spray roses bloom profusely and constantly, so you should plant them in the garden. They are grown for cutting, to decorate flower beds, balconies, patios. They are not whimsical, so they do not require special care.

Pink roses spray

Rose propagation spray

Rose cutting spray

Spray roses are propagated by cuttings. Thin lower processes are selected, having three or four leaves, cut off at an angle. The cutting should have two lower buds and a leaf at the top. Growing roses by cuttings is carried out in May-August. Now the cuttings are planted in the ground and covered with glass jars or PET bottles from under the water. Rooting cuttings of roses takes almost two months.

Spray watering roses

Spray roses require the same care as other members of the Rosaceae family, namely loosening, fertilizing, pruning, watering, removing wilted flowers. Watering is carried out when the topsoil dries up. Moisture will last longer if mulching is carried out.

Rose spray Mirabelle

Rose pruning spray

I like spray roses and pruning, which is carried out several times during the season. Dry and damaged branches should be removed first. Pruning prevents the roses from losing their decorative effect and stimulates flowering.

Roses are not difficult to grow, especially if they are 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 previously 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 they begin to dig holes 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 liquid.

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.
