General characteristics of park roses
As a rule, park rose bushes reach 1.5 meters in height, the buds are formed early, because the plant belongs to the early flowering family. The color of park roses varies from beige to dark purple, orange and bright yellow specimens are rarely found. The main feature of park roses is that up to 150 petals can form on one flower, you will not see such a phenomenon on any other rose.
Park roses do not like thickened plantings, because they grow not only in height, but also in breadth. In mild climates, they do not need to be covered, but in Russia the winters are harsh, so roses must be protected from the cold. In the middle lane, only hybrids that are as close as possible to wild plants in terms of characteristics can not be covered.
The most frost-resistant and with good immunity are Canadian varieties of park roses. For their successful growth and development, the following conditions must be met:
- there should be no closely spaced groundwater in the soil;
- diffused sunlight;
- lack of drafts;
- proper watering and regular feeding.
English, German and French varieties most often need protection from the cold.
Varieties of park roses
Conventionally professional gardeners have divided roses into 2 groups:
- once flowering;
- re-blooming. This group, in turn, includes the species: cold-hardy rugoses, Canadian roses and those in need of shelter.
IMPORTANT! Once flowering roses, it is necessary to keep the shoots until the next season. Otherwise, they will not bloom.
Most varieties have frost-resistant rugoses, they are quite similar to each other, but not all have resistance to cold. The most unpretentious and abundantly flowering variety is Moje Hammarberg, it quickly adapts to new conditions after transplanting.
Prairie Joy and Morden Centennial are considered the best Canadian breeding.
Particularly noteworthy is the variety bred by the Englishman David Austin. Fisherman's Friend blooms profusely for a long time.
You can highlight among the re-blooming ones:
- A. Mackenzie scrub is a Canadian variety, a tall and powerful shrub reaches almost 2 meters, blooms with large double inflorescences of a pale pink color. Experiencing severe frosts, no need to cover. The flowers are odorless and slowly fade in the sun.
- Moje Hammarberg Hybrid Rugosa - large, multi-layered maroon flowers form on the bushes. The bush reaches 1.5 m, does not need protection from the cold;
- Prairie Joy scrub is a dense bush that blooms with large pale pink flowers. Of all the Canadian varieties, this one has the strongest immunity to disease.
The following varieties can be chosen from once flowering:
- Centifolia - has an abundant pink bloom and a persistent aroma. Do not thicken the planting, because the bush is formed very wide and spreading.
- Poppius scrub - blooms in small pink flowers with a pronounced aroma. The bush has many thorns.
- Pimpinellifolia plena - This variety blooms in semi-double beige flowers. Bushes grow short and neat, do not need support.
