Diseases of bush roses

In early spring, having freed the roses from their winter shelter and made sure that their favorites overwintered safely, many are wondering how to protect the inhabitants of the rose garden from diseases and pests that can harm the plants and prevent their abundant flowering.

It is in the spring, as in the case of chrysanthemums, It is necessary to carry out a number of measures to protect rose bushes from diseases and pests. First of all, when unhilling, you should rake up all fallen leaves from last year and other debris and burn them. It is not worth leaving or using this waste in a compost pit, since the causative agents of many diseases remain in the foliage after winter, which will later be very problematic to get rid of.

It is no secret that the most beautiful flower is at the same time a rather capricious creature, susceptible to various ailments that an advanced rose grower needs to know by sight.

Rust

Its life activity accelerates with the arrival of spring and brown spots, similar to rust, begin to appear on the upper part of the leaves. Gradually, these spots change their color to black, and the infected leaves fall off.

Powdery mildew

This disease got its name because of the peculiar white coating that covers infected plants. These are spores that, when ripe, can also release a liquid that resembles water droplets on the plant. There are practically no best means of combating powdery mildew - an infected plant will most likely die. Besides this the disease is extremely contagious and easily spreads to neighboring bushes.

Black spot

A fungal disease that appears in late August - September. Looks like black spots covering the leaves. It occurs due to too much watering or lack of fertilizers in the spring.

In the rosary, the statement remains true that any disease is easier to prevent than to cure. Therefore, to prevent diseases, you need to adhere to certain rules for caring for bushes. First of all, overwatering should be avoided.

A cold and humid climate in itself is not suitable for the queen of flowers - she begins to get sick, including fungal diseases. Evening heavy watering works in a similar way, when not all the water has time to evaporate or be absorbed into the soil.

It is necessary and very careful to prune plants., since unhealed tissue is the source of spread of the disease. It should also be remembered that fungal diseases are contagious, and, therefore, it is necessary to promptly treat or remove diseased bushes.

You can fight diseases that have already appeared, first of all, by sanitary pruning - removing diseased shoots; folk remedies - spraying the bushes with infusion of nettle and tansy, soap solution or infusion of horsetail. If the grower is not prejudiced against chemicals, you can use products such as Fitoverm, Funkginex, iron or copper sulfate.

Basic rules for caring for roses

Why is it that not all people succeed in growing a bush rose? In fact, you just need to know some tricks for growing a plant, and everything will definitely work out. So, let's talk about this.

The most important thing is the soil. It should be light and fertile. When you start planting your flowers in open ground, you should do this in a place protected from drafts.

Equally important is regular weeding, fertilizing and watering seedlings. Without this, the bush may not take root. On hot days, water the rose about every other day.

You should carefully monitor the condition of the stem and leaves of the bush. As soon as you find dried parts, remove them immediately. They do not bring any benefit, they only waste the plant’s moisture and spoil its appearance.

Before purchasing, ask the seller if the flower will have the same rich color as in the picture. You should also ask him how best to plant the variety and what care conditions it requires. Different varieties require different care - this is important to remember!

You can grow rose bushes in the same place for up to ten years, and it is not recommended to replant them often. The best places are sunny areas without wind. Plants can be planted in the garden both in autumn and spring. Roses are most often propagated by cuttings, but they can also be propagated by grafting and seeds.

Do not forget that roses require regular loosening of the soil, especially on hot days. There is no need to penetrate too deeply into the soil, because this can damage the roots of the plant. Fertilize roses with peat, humus and manure.

How to prune bush roses correctly

In spring, pruning plants is aimed at ensuring that the bush acquires the correct shape. In the fall, the branches are thinned out so that air can easily circulate between them. This is necessary so that the rose does not freeze.

Pruning is carried out in the fall right before sheltering for the winter. Up to 5 young branches are left on each bush. Those branches that are directed inward are removed. All cut parts are collected and burned. It is important to get rid of three-year-old branches, as they only take away nutrients and do not bring any benefit.

Application in landscape design

Planting bush roses to decorate the garden is completely justified. English varieties are often planted near a fence or wall. It is not difficult to breed them, and their peony-like shape is unlikely to leave anyone indifferent.

Canadian roses are very frost-resistant, but do not tolerate transplantation. It is recommended to combine high and low bushes with each other. This is how they look most impressive.

Roses with lush heads are often planted with chrysanthemums or other flowers. This makes them look even more impressive. But it will not be possible to transplant them, so you should immediately choose the right place.

Shrub roses can often be seen in landscape design, in city gardens and parks, as well as in garden plots in the southern regions. Gardens fragrant with such roses create a magnificent atmosphere of comfort and enchant in a special way. These flowering plants surpass all others in their diversity and luxury of shape, color, as well as the duration of abundant flowering. It is no coincidence that this flower is called the queen of all flowers.

Main features of the variety

Shrub roses are a genus of rose hips. It appeared millions of years ago and today includes more than two hundred thousand amazing varieties. In areas with temperate and warm climates, roses are found in the wild, and they are not inferior to garden species in their beauty and aroma.

This group prevails in vigor of growth and resistance to the cold season. The flowers of these roses are collected in inflorescences and often have no fragrance. The height of the bushes reaches two meters.

The depth of the hole should be 10 cm higher than the root system. It is better if the bottom of the planting hole is loose. If the bush is planted correctly, the graft goes about 4 cm deep after planting. It is recommended to add a handful of wood ash to the dug soil and gradually evenly fill the plant lowered into the watered hole, compacting the soil. After planting, the flower mounts a little and is protected from the sun for 10 days. The next watering of the plant is done on the third day after planting.

The distance between bushes and rows depends on the variety of roses and varies from one to two meters.

Shrub roses are less finicky to care for than climbing, indoor or standard roses. They grow quite quickly, forming powerful bushiness, and have a good ability to withstand adverse weather changes.

For the normal development of a plant, the following criteria are basic:

How to water

Roses do not like excess moisture and need moderate watering as the soil dries out. It is necessary to water infrequently, but abundantly. The optimal volume of water is one bucket (10 l) per bush. The exception is spring and dry days. In spring, plants should be watered more often because at this time of year the growth of young shoots and leaves is activated. New, newly planted bushes should be watered every two days during the first year of their growth.

Watering should be careful to avoid exposing the roots of the flower. It is not recommended to use cold water: it is preferable that it be at room temperature.

The first application is made in the spring after the pruning procedure. Ammonium sulfate and ammonium nitrate are used for this. After a month and a half, a second fertilizing with nitrogen-containing fertilizer is done. The third time the plant needs a nutrient mixture is during the formation of buds. Organic fertilizers include chicken droppings, manure, and wood ash. After flowering, it is recommended to add a complex with microelements. In August, it would be a good idea to support the flowers with a potassium mixture and superphosphate.

The need for pruning

Regular pruning is the basis of rose care. It happens according to the following scheme:

The cutting areas must be treated with garden varnish.

Types and varieties of bush roses

Shrub roses belong to the Rosehip family. They appeared in nature about 40 million years ago. The ancient Greeks, Persians and Romans first began to use the plant to decorate the surrounding area of ​​their home. The stunning beauty of such roses and ease of care make them indispensable for professional gardeners and amateurs.

Peculiarities

Shrub roses can look very diverse. Not only flowers differ among different species and varieties. Even the crown of the bush itself can be wide and narrow (pyramidal). There are bushes that are denser, and others with sparse branches. The height of the bushes is also very diverse. They affect giant plants up to 3 meters in height and their dwarf counterparts up to 0.5 m. The branches of the bushes are of two types: uterine (main) and annual shoots that appear in spring. The leaves are represented by odd-pinnate plates that have a serrated edge. Each leaf also has two stipules.

The peduncle has different lengths, ranging from 10-15 to almost 1 meter.

The flowers have many petals (5-120 pieces), and the diameter of the main decoration of the bush reaches 20 centimeters. There are both single flowers and those included in inflorescences. Currently, a huge number of bush roses have been bred, which differ in the duration of flowering, the shape and color of the flowers, as well as their aroma. The only thing that doesn’t exist in nature is bright blue roses. But they invented flowers that change their color during the flowering period.

Many varieties of bush roses resemble ordinary rose hips, but more original-looking specimens are also present. There are bushes that bloom only once, and then only delight with their greenery, but there are others that produce beauty every year at the right season.

The main advantages of bush roses are:

• relative frost resistance compared to ordinary roses;
• low maintenance requirements;
• They make excellent hedges.

The best varieties and their characteristics

Shrub roses are very diverse in their species composition. You can find a copy for every taste and color. But some of the most popular bush roses are those bred by breeder D. Austin. These are the so-called English roses, which combine the genes of floribunda, Bourbon rose and hybrid tea.

English bush roses are very versatile and unpretentious.

For example, variety Spirit of Freedom has a truly gorgeous appearance: flowers with an abundant number of cup-shaped petals, which become lilac in color as the plant develops. This garden rose is resistant to many diseases. The bush grows up to 2.5 meters in height.

The Albrighton Rambler- another wonderful variety with a musky aroma, discovered by David Austin. This rose blooms profusely with white flowers collected in inflorescences up to 5 centimeters in diameter. There is a button in the middle of the flower. This rose is resistant to rain, and its leaves are resistant to many diseases.

The bush is quite tall - up to 3 meters.

Abrahamdarby- a climbing rose with heavy peach flowers that bend the shoots down. Benjaminbritten is a low bush with bright rosette red flowers. A very unpretentious variety that is resistant to fungi. It only dislikes heavy rainfalls, which spoil the crown of the bush.

Shrub roses, which belong to the Shrubs class, are popular. Westerland is a variety of rose of this class, which is interesting because it can be grown both as an upright specimen and as a climbing rose. The shoots reach 3.5 meters, the leaves are complex, glossy, dark green. The flowers can be from light yellow to pink, semi-double and very large. They reach a diameter of 10 cm. One flower lives for about 5 days.

The flowering period is long - from June to September.

There are popular varieties of French roses.

They differ from other types in the following features:

• predominantly small-flowered;
• shoots are directed upward;
• double flowers in red shades;
• amazing aroma;
• many small sharp thorns.

Prominent representatives of French roses are varieties such as "Galika" and "Cardinal Richelieu". The latter have an interesting double-sided flower color: one side is purple and the other is pink. Hybrid tea roses have small bushes and two flowering periods with a short break. The flowers are large - up to 10 cm in diameter. They are very suitable for decorating small home areas. Hybrid tea rose variety "Flamingo" has a soft pink color, as the name implies. The flowers are solitary, the flowering period is very long - from the beginning of June to the very frost.

"Big Purple"– a wonderful representative of the purple hybrid tea rose. The flower has 35 petals, up to 15 centimeters in diameter. It is a fairly frost-resistant species and, despite its somewhat exotic nature, is suitable even for growing in the conditions of the Moscow region. "Floribunda"- This is another popular type of bush roses. Its varieties are very winter-hardy, which makes it possible to use floribunda as a park plant. Flowers are collected in inflorescences.

Popular varieties of Floribunda are “Lili Marlene”, “Niccolò Paganini”.

"Lily Marlene" are plants with bright red flowers up to 8 cm in diameter. The bushes reach half a meter in height and are characterized by their abundant greenery. Almost not susceptible to any diseases except powdery mildew. They are perfect for any site and have another enviable advantage - a very long flowering period. "Lily Marlene" blooms all summer.

"Niccolò Paganini" more suitable for warm regions of the country. Very beautiful burgundy flowers have a velvet structure. There are about 12 buds in the inflorescence. For this variety to develop well, it requires fairly fertile soil.

Speaking about bush roses, one cannot fail to mention climbing varieties that are very popular for landscape design. For example, known and loved by many gardeners, "Excelsa". The variety is very old, it was bred at the beginning of the 20th century. This beautiful rose has bright pink flowers with a fragrant, stunning aroma. It grows very quickly. The undoubted decorative qualities of this rose are accompanied by absolute unpretentiousness and ease of care. "Excelsa" easily tolerates frosts and grows in unfertilized soils.

It blooms for about a month, and the foliage is pleasing to the eye until frost.

Landing rules

In order for the rose to please the eye as long as possible and not die, it is necessary to plant the bushes correctly. The entire future life of the plant depends on this. How to plant bush roses correctly: from choosing seedlings to time and place of planting.

Selection and storage of seedlings

The growth and development of an adult plant depends on the health of the planting material. Nobody wants to purchase low-quality seedlings. Here's what you should pay attention to when buying planting material.

• Compliance of the variety and external characteristics with further growing conditions. Not all varieties of bush roses are universal. Many die from the severe frosts characteristic of the northern regions of our country, while others cannot withstand the southern heat. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully study the possibilities of the selected species to grow in a certain area. External characteristics also cannot be ignored. If roses are selected for an already decorated area, then it is important to predict how the bushes will combine with other plants and whether they will fit in their designated place as adults.
• Are the seedlings grafted or not? A lot depends on this factor. Some grafted bush roses develop well exclusively in greenhouses. Plants growing on their own roots are more adapted to life in open ground, but are inferior in variety of shapes and colors to their counterparts, as well as in many other factors. Ungrafted plants often take root poorly because they take a long time to build up the root system. But they eliminate root growth and excess branches.

• Age of seedlings. Plants must be no more than 3 years old. It is these specimens that will easily take root, since they will be more labile to changes in growing conditions. Old roses lose their appearance: they bloom less abundantly, foliage develops worse, and are more susceptible to diseases and pests.

• Appearance of the plant. High-quality planting material for bush roses has 2-3 woody stems, and the rest should look fresh and green. Limp stems indicate drying out of the plant or disease. The roots should also be in good condition: developed, strong, not broken. It is recommended to check the leaves that remain on the seedlings for various spots and drying out.
• In what form is it sold? High-quality seedlings must be subject to long-term storage. It is unknown exactly when they will be purchased and how far they will have to be transported. If containers in the form of pots or containers are not used, then polyethylene is used on top of a wet rag or paper.

Seedlings should also be stored in a certain way; if stored incorrectly, it is easy to spoil the plant, and there will be nothing left to plant.

Here's how to properly wait for planting material to be planted.

• After purchase, the root system of the plant must be disinfected to prevent the proliferation of bacteria and pathogens. To do this, you can dilute a solution of foundation or copper sulfate and dip the roots of a bush rose into it.
• Small specimens can be stored in the refrigerator. To do this, they are placed in a container and wrapped in polyethylene with holes or paper. Spray the plants in this form once every 3-5 days. If the temperature in the refrigerator is more than 3 degrees, then the roses may produce shoots, as they will not be able to remain dormant. This is a normal phenomenon and does not affect further transplantation of seedlings. Roses can be stored in this form for about a month.

• If the planting material already had tender sprouts when purchased, then it cannot be stored in the refrigerator. Now it should be moved to pots with a capacity of about 2 liters. This volume allows you to form an excellent earthen lump, which can be easily moved to a future location. It is best to store such plants on a covered balcony or in a cellar, which will allow them to gain some vegetative mass and prepare for replanting. If the planting material will overwinter on the balcony, direct sunlight should be avoided. In spring, it is recommended to harden seedlings using a draft.

• If there is space at your summer cottage, then bush rose seedlings can be stored in the snow. To do this, choose the darkest, unflooded corner. There they place a large cardboard box and place containers with planting material in it, which are covered with peat. The next layer is fabric, and the last one is snow, which is generously covered with the structure. For maximum long-term storage, the snowdrift is covered with spruce branches.
• If seedlings with an open root system were purchased, they should be stored in a bucket of water in a cool place. They are not very durable and will remain viable in this state for about a week.

Disembarkation time and place

The bushes of this beautiful plant can be planted both in spring and autumn. Many people plant roses purchased in containers throughout the entire season, including hot summer. The optimal decision for planting bush roses should be made based on the region of growth and the variety being planted. In the southern regions, it is advisable to plant in the autumn. Since frosts come quite late in this region, the roots have time to take root well and develop their power. In central Russia, it is best to plant roses in the spring, when the frosts have subsided and the soil has had time to warm up to a temperature of 10 degrees.

Shrub roses are distinguished by their love for the sun, so when choosing a location you should focus on an area with good lighting.

Roses do not like dampness, so the place where they grow should not be influenced by groundwater and melt water. Drafts are a bad friend for these plants, so an area that is too open is also not suitable for them. The planting hole for bush roses should be at least 0.5 meters away from other plants for normal crown development.

A hole is dug in depth and width so that the entire root system fits there as comfortably as possible without bending individual large roots. After installing the plant, it is sprinkled with prepared fertilized soil, trampled down and a layer of peat is placed on top. Then water generously. When the plant takes root, the rose is hilled up and the soil is mulched.

How to reproduce?

The most popular methods of propagating bush roses are: cuttings and layering, seeds, grafting, dividing the bush. Each method has its own specific advantages and disadvantages, which must be taken into account when choosing. Propagation by cuttings is carried out at the end of summer. For this method, the strongest and healthiest specimen, free from damage and disease, is selected. A ripened shoot, equipped with several leaves, is cut off and only the upper greenery is left. A shoot is planted in a pre-prepared container with prepared soil mixture, watered, covered with film and waiting for rooting.

Layering is used if the bush rose has long and flexible shoots.

Then one or more of the healthiest branches are bent to the ground, and an incision is made at the point of contact. A match is inserted into this cut, and the end of the shoot is fixed vertically using a support. The cuttings can be replanted separately when they produce the first bud and take root.

Shrub roses are propagated mainly by seed breeders. For this method of propagation, wild species are used, since they are most adapted to it. The already red fruits are collected in August-September, then they are peeled and placed in sand for 4 months at a low temperature. In the spring, they are soaked in a solution of a growth stimulator and kept there for about two hours. Then they are sown, covered with a thin layer of soil, and wait for the first shoots. After two true leaves appear, the plants are divided and cultivation continues.

It is quite difficult to propagate bush roses by grafting. To graft a varietal specimen, common rosehip is most often used as a rootstock. A T-shaped place for grafting is cut out on the uterine shoot, then a bud with a piece of wood is cut out from the scion. Insert this peephole into the cut-out slot and wrap it with film. After three weeks it is necessary to check the condition of the kidney. If it does not take root, it will turn black. In spring or autumn, a large, overgrown bush can be easily propagated by division.

To do this, you need to sharpen a sharp instrument and sterilize it.

Then dig up the bush and begin dividing it so that at least one stem and several roots remain on each separate part.

How to care?

Growing bush roses is not too difficult if you know how to properly care for them. During any operations with roses, you should use gloves, as the prickly thorns easily injure the skin and leave very painful lesions. One of the main actions for caring for bush roses is pinching them. The leaves at the ends of the shoots of large and small bushes should be torn off in order to form a wide and dense crown. Otherwise, the shoots will grow and disrupt the decorative appearance of the plant. For seedlings in their first year of life, it is very important to pluck off the first small buds. The plant spends a lot of energy on flowering, and for first-year plants this can interfere with the full development of the bush.

Top dressing

The appearance and health of the plant depends on feeding. We must not forget about this moment in care. The sequence of mandatory fertilizing for bush roses is as follows.

• Early spring (April-May). Perform pruning and feed with nitrogen-containing fertilizers and organic matter. Inexpensive and high-quality products include urea, nitroammophoska and regular cow manure.
• Flowering period. Before flowering, it is necessary to support the plant by adding horse manure, chicken droppings or ash. All this can be sprayed with a special broom within the plant. It is better to perform this procedure twice before flowering begins.
• Immediately after flowering. It is necessary to feed the bush rose with universal fertilizer or mullein solution.
• Before autumn. A bush rose must be carefully prepared for winter so that it meets it in a healthy state. This fertilizer is the most diverse in composition: phosphorus, potassium, molybdenum, iron and other microelements will not be superfluous in caring for rose bushes.
• Late fall. Apart from phosphorus fertilizers, nothing should be added to the soil during this period, otherwise the plant’s transition to dormancy may be slowed down. The simplest fertilizer with phosphorus is superphosphate.

Watering

Shrub roses are quite capricious when it comes to watering. It is better not to use tap water, preferring melt or rain water. If you can’t find it, you can simply let it sit in plain water for 24 hours. The temperature of the water for irrigation is also important: it should not differ much from the ambient temperature, since its sudden change is detrimental to bush roses.

Roses love moisture, but not its excess; with a lack of water, they will develop poorly, the leaves will begin to fall off, and the shoots will stop growing.

But with excess moisture, the superficial root system develops very strongly, which complicates loosening and can even lead to the death of the bush. Watering should be done either early in the morning or late in the evening so that there is no moisture on the leaves during the sunny time of the day.

If the weather is dry, roses should be watered 2-3 times a week. For regular watering, you need to use half a bucket of water per plant. Once a week, it is recommended to water abundantly, making a hole around the plant and pouring about one bucket of water into it. The watered soil is sprinkled and loosened. It is important to water roses immediately after adding fertilizer to the soil to avoid an excess of salts and minerals. Roses are not watered before wintering. Watering should be completed in August-September, and if these months are rainy, then even earlier.

Disease and pest control

Pest and disease control can be carried out in different ways, but the very first aid in this difficult task is prevention: visual inspection and waste removal. Fallen leaves and wilted flowers should be removed in a timely manner, as they quickly rot and provoke the appearance of rot and the proliferation of pathogens.

Timely weeding also helps to remove excess weeds, which can harbor various types of microorganisms.

Fungal diseases can cause the greatest harm to bush roses, so adequate care should include pruning and thinning the crown. A planting site without high humidity will help avoid attack by fungal microorganisms. This also applies to the storage of seedlings and adult plants: high humidity during wintering is unacceptable. If, after all, the bush rose is affected, you need to immediately trim off all affected shoots and leaves. Then treat the plant with a fungicide. Leaving pockets of infection on a rose can lead to the death of the entire bush.

Not only fungal diseases affect bush roses. Often such ailments as powdery mildew, rust, mold, black spot and others also appear. To get rid of these problems, you need to select modern available drugs for them in time. Their choice will depend on the variety of rose and the climatic zone of growth.

Of the pests that attack bush roses, the most common is aphids. If the accumulation of these insects is not too significant, you can use this method: soap a wet rag with laundry soap and wipe the leaves. If there are a lot of aphids, then it is necessary to use insecticides. Shrub roses can also be damaged by other pests: cicadas, mites, and various caterpillars. It is imperative to fight them, since often damage to a plant by insects is followed by some kind of disease due to a weakened state. It is necessary to find out exactly the type of pest and go to the store to purchase a product against a specific insect. To eliminate mammalian rodents, it is better to install traps, since they may well spoil roses even more than diseases and insects.

Trimming

Pruning is done to form a beautiful crown of the plant and to get rid of damaged shoots. The best time for pruning is early spring, when the buds are just beginning to swell. At this time, it is worth taking a closer look and selecting unwanted branches to be removed. After winter, you should pay attention to those branches where the buds have died. They should be removed first to leave as many healthy ones as possible.

It should be remembered that the abundance of flowering depends on the length of the branch after pruning.

Therefore, pruning too short leads to loss of buds. In summer you can’t do without pruning either. Dried branches should be removed immediately, as should faded flowers. Occasionally, the crown of a bush rose should be thinned to allow natural ventilation. It minimizes the risk of developing diseases. Too long shoots can also be trimmed depending on the desired crown shape.

How to prepare for winter?

Preparing bush roses for winter should be done in the fall. It is necessary to cut off all mature stems and dried shoots and lubricate the cuts with garden varnish. All leaves, without exception, should be removed and destroyed, after which the plant should be treated with Bordeaux mixture. When stable low temperatures set in at night, you need to prepare a winter shelter.

For warm regions of the country, you can limit yourself to ordinary sawdust sprinkled in a heap on a trimmed plant. For more severe climatic conditions, it is recommended to build a kind of hut for the wintering of bush roses. It is based on two arches, over which a cover is placed. The top of this house is covered with insulation and film. At the beginning of spring, during fine days, it is better to ventilate roses to prevent diaper rash.
