general description
This type of rose used to belong to the floribunda and miniature species, but at the end of the 20th century it was separated into a separate group - “patio roses”. These plants differ slightly from the above in height, size of leaves and flowers.
- Initially, and even today, shrubs are often planted along borders in European countries. They do not reach a height of more than half a meter and have small leaves and buds. Larger than miniatures, but smaller than floribundas.
- Some of the first varieties bred by breeders were Marlene and Meteor. Now there are many more such varieties - about 2000.
- Sometimes roses of this species are grown on trunks of no more than one meter. Such trees look very impressive.
- The structure of flowers, depending on the variety, can be very diverse: there are simple and double, the diameter of the flower ranges from 2.5 cm to 5 cm. There is also such a variety as spray roses. Their difference is that the flowers are collected in inflorescences, making the bush look lush and elegant.
- Due to their miniature size and small size, they are suitable for decorating mixborders and flower beds; they are often planted in decorative flowerpots and sold in containers. Patio Mix has become a fashionable trend, which consists of a set of rose bushes of different colors - Patio.
- The advantage of this type is its small size. Each bush looks like a separate bouquet. Thanks to the work of breeders, the plants are quite unpretentious and adapted for both growing in the garden and at home.
If earlier roses were considered very capricious flowers, and only experienced gardeners could care for them, then in our time even a novice floriculture lover can cope with planting and the subsequent schedule of watering, fertilizers and other stages of maintaining the growth and development of a rose.
Planting and care
Planting spray roses is not a difficult process at all. It is recommended to choose a sunny place for planting. However, some varieties fade in the sun, so a little partial shade is fine.
In order to plant a plant, you will need:
- Dig a hole measuring 45*45;
- Place drainage (pebbles, sand) at the base of the hole;
- Place organic fertilizers (dry leaves, rotten leaves, humus, manure) over the drainage;
- Plant the plant in the planting hole, cover it with soil and compact it around the stems;
- Water with settled and warm water (8 liters of water per bush).
These crops are unpretentious. From spring to July, fertilizing with a high nitrogen content is required. And in the summer and until autumn, the plant needs microelements such as potassium and phosphorus. It is very important to apply fertilizers during budding and after flowering.
The soil around the stem must be loosened regularly. Watering should be moderate.
For the winter, roses need shelter.
How to care?
Although care does not require much effort, there are some rules that are important to follow:
- Perform pruning properly;
- Loosen the top fertile layer of soil;
- Systematically carry out watering and fertilizing;
- Clear the area of weeds in a timely manner.
Top dressing
It is important to fertilize the plant throughout the growing season. In summer it needs nitrogen, and when autumn comes, fertilizers containing potassium and phosphorus.
Watering
This point is extremely important to achieve abundant flowering. During dry periods, the watering dose should be increased. To slow down the drying process of the soil, you can use the mulching procedure. This will also save water. To avoid burns, it is recommended to water the plant only after the sun has set.
Disease and pest control
The most dangerous for this type of roses were cicadas, aphids, leaf rollers and spider mites. To combat them successfully, it is necessary to use a soap solution containing mustard powder and red pepper. Chemicals intended for this purpose will also be suitable.
If we highlight the most dangerous diseases, then among them there will be black spot and powdery mildew. As preventive measures, shrubs should be treated with potash and Bordeaux mixture, as well as preventive pruning, after which it is important to remove and burn the removed shoots. If signs of disease do appear, it is important to immediately treat the affected areas with a soda solution.
Trimming
This care item is necessary for the plant to form new shoots and flowers and helps prevent the development of diseases. To carry out the operation correctly, you must adhere to the following conditions:
- Cut the stem at a 45 degree angle;
- Start the procedure from the bottom of the plant;
- Treat the cut with garden varnish;
- Use tools that have been pre-treated with a disinfectant.
Trimming
Pruning is very important for spray roses. It stimulates the formation of young branches and ensures more abundant and prolonged flowering. It is recommended to prune several times during the season. At the same time, dry and damaged branches are removed. Also, at the end of flowering, it is necessary to trim off faded flowers.
It is especially important to prune the bush in the summer so that the plant does not waste energy on producing fruits, but blooms more intensely and abundantly. In addition, pruning is a fungus prevention.
Main varieties
Mini roses were brought to Europe at the beginning of the 19th century from East Asia, but at that time these varieties were rare. They began to be grown on an industrial scale not so long ago, with the advent of modern cloning technologies. Today, thanks to the efforts of American, Spanish, but mainly Dutch breeders, a huge number of forms and varieties of miniature roses have appeared. The following 4 varieties are considered the most popular in home culture.
Mini mix
This group includes many different varieties of dwarf roses. Their peculiarity is their low stem part (up to 40 cm). Flowers can be different: small, medium-sized or large (depending on the variety). Often, such a rose is distinguished from a garden rose only by its short stature, since the leaves and buds are almost the same size. The “mini” variety is well suited for indoor growing.
Parade mix
The most popular home rose is Parade Mix. This variety is better adapted to indoor conditions than others. Regardless of the time of year, it blooms massively and for a long time (5–6 months). The break in flowering is short, up to 2 months, after which buds form on the bush again. The plants themselves are low (40–45 cm), the flowers are of medium size, of different colors. The most beautiful representative of the Parade group is rose Star. Its flowers are as close as possible to a tea rose in shape and appearance.
Patio mix
Patio roses are a low-growing variety of the floribunda group. They are not a miniature species (their height is 50–55 cm), but they are the shortest in their group. Thanks to these dimensions, Patios are an ideal decoration for a winter garden, greenhouse or flower bed. Their name comes from the fashionable way of decorating patios with decorative roses in pots. The bushes of these roses bloom very beautifully and luxuriantly. The flowers are large, of a wide variety of shades, arranged singly or in inflorescences. Flowering lasts a long time, as new roses immediately open instead of faded buds. This group includes varieties with two-color variegated or striped petals. It also includes spray roses, the peculiarity of which is that each branch is a separate bouquet of several buds.
Cordana mix
Cordana is the smallest and shortest rose of all the mini ones. Its height does not exceed 30 cm. It is mainly grown as a potted crop, but can be planted in flower beds as a border. The bush is lush, the leaves are small, the buds are classic-looking, small. Color variations are limited to four colors: white, light or deep pink, yellow and red. Roses of this variety are distinguished by lush and long-lasting flowering (from spring to mid-autumn). Their peculiarity is the complete absence of aroma, due to which the flower can be kept by people prone to allergic reactions. Cordana is capricious, so caring for it at home will require time and some effort from the gardener.
Reviews and opinions of gardeners
In Russia, the most popular varieties are Lydia, Ruby Star, Mimi Eden, Fire Flash . Reviews about them are left on forums more actively than about others. Moreover, these opinions are mostly positive - these varieties deserve them.
The most frequently discussed issue is wintering. In central Russia, it is advisable to cover the crop for the winter, despite the fairly high winter hardiness of all varietal species. It is recommended to cover with spruce branches or pine needles.
In general, no additional measures to care for the plant are required. The exception is pruning. It stimulates flowering, which lasts throughout the season. When pruning after flowering, leave about 15 cm from the soil surface.
It is advisable to purchase grafted bushes from trusted stores and nurseries, and plant them in the fall, around mid-September.
Growing conditions
Let's find out what requirements must be observed when planting Spray roses.
Location and lighting
Spray roses are best planted in well-lit areas. However, the delicate petals require shading from direct sun: it would be nice if a spreading tree with a thinned crown grows nearby.
However, if the variety has light-colored petals, an unshaded place will also suit this plant - the petals in this case will not fade too much. If the rose is dark, burns and fading of the petals will be very noticeable: in this case, it is necessary to plant the plant in partial shade.
Temperature
Most varieties of Spray roses tolerate cold quite well. But it is nevertheless necessary to cover them for the winter.
Humidity and drafts
Roses are delicate flowers, so they need shelter from cold gusty winds and drafts. Make sure that such a shelter is on the north side: a brick wall or fence will do just fine.
Soil composition
In order for the Spray rose to develop safely and bloom for a long time, it requires a loosened substrate with a slightly acidic reaction. In addition, the soil must be nutritious, and the bed must be prepared in advance before planting.
Application in landscape design
Spray roses are actively used in floriculture and landscape design. They look great in the foreground of flower beds and flower beds. Also suitable for growing in containers. They can decorate recreation areas, verandas, and local areas.
Due to their low growth, they are used to frame paths and borders.
