The leaves are light green and have a slight glossy shine. Small wrinkles are visible on the surface. During the growing season, the bush forms a small number of whiskers.

Ripening terms

Yield

The garden strawberry Arosa boasts a high yield. Up to 2.2 tons of crops are harvested from one hectare of plantations. The marketability of fruits is high. Ripe berries retain their taste and attractive appearance during long-term transportation.

Berries and their taste

With proper care of the fruit crop, the strawberry turns out to be even and smooth. The first berries can be comb and slightly flattened. Even ripe berries have a light top. Inside there are small seeds that are not felt when eating fresh strawberries. The juicy pulp is colored light red. Her density is average.

Professional tasters gave this variety 4.5 points out of 5 possible. Sweet berries with a pleasant sourness have a delicate strawberry aroma. After eating, there is a slight wine aftertaste. The delicious and delicate aroma should be noted separately.

Growing features

This variety can be grown both outdoors and in greenhouse conditions. This is a vigorous culture, so you need to carefully monitor the condition of the shoots and periodically remove dry and damaged leaves. Planting work is preferably carried out in early May. It is important to organize a distance of 30 centimeters between the bushes, and 40 centimeters between the rows.

Strawberries prefer sandy loam and loamy soil with a neutral acidity. The plant can bear fruit even on worn out and poor soils, but in this case it will be necessary to use top dressing. Irrigation frequency should be medium.

Another feature of the variety is its resistance to dry weather, however, a lack of water will negatively affect the size and taste of the berries. They are less aromatic and juicy. Regular watering is especially necessary in southern latitudes.

When and how to plant strawberries so that they bring a rich harvest is a question that novice gardeners often ask themselves. The berries can be planted in the ground in spring, summer and autumn. Each season has its own characteristics of planting.
Strawberries are the most beloved and popular berry in our gardens. Even in the smallest plots, there will always be a place for it, since every year there are more and more unexpected and original solutions for its cultivation. Strawberries are grown in the form of a carpet, rows, nests, in addition to many different original options. Everyone chooses their own way depending on the area of ​​the site and its design.
Watering strawberries, like any other garden crop, should be in compliance with all the necessary recommendations. During the fruiting period, including the ripening of the fruits, the amount of moisture should be sufficient for the harvest to be a decent amount, and the berries are tasty and aromatic. If you neglect watering, or water little and not enough, then the strawberries can dry out. With excessive moisture, the berries can rot.
Speaking of pruning strawberries, most often it is the removal of leaves on fertile bushes that is meant. This is done to partially rejuvenate the plant, to get rid of damaged, diseased leaves, to prevent bacterial and fungal infections, to reduce the number of harmful insects.

Site selection and soil preparation

The site chosen for growing garden strawberries should be well lit by the sun. Also, there should be no drafts on it. Severe darkening negatively affects the quality of the crop. If there is groundwater on the site, then it must flow at a depth of at least one meter. In one place, the bushes can stably bear fruit for 3-5 years. The main thing is to periodically fertilize them and carry out preventive treatment for infections.

Before planting, the top layer of soil is loosened. The amount of fertilizer applied depends on the composition of the soil. It is recommended to use organic formulations. Experienced gardeners advise planting bushes in autumn or spring. It all depends on the characteristics of the climatic zone. For spring planting, flowers formed in a given season must be removed. This is necessary for the plant to develop a massive root system.

Note: if the acidity of the soil is increased, dolomite flour or lime is added to the soil. Garlic, carrots, as well as cereals and legumes are considered wonderful predecessors for strawberries.

The soil for strawberries should be saturated with organic matter. The plant grows best on light loamy or sandy loam soil. Black soil and gray forest soil are also excellent for cultivation. It is undesirable to plant strawberries on clay soil.

Pollination

One bush can have 10 peduncles. The variety has both male and female flowers, due to which the plant is self-pollinated. The inflorescences are large, with an even corolla shape. They are slightly raised above the main green mass. The petals are white. Each flower contains a lot of pollen. This indicates high rates of tying.

Top dressing

Arosa garden strawberries are fertilized according to the standard scheme:

  • with the arrival of spring, organic and mineral compounds are used, nitrogen-based substances are also suitable;
  • in summer and autumn, they switch to phosphorus and potash fertilizers: they are necessary for high-quality fruits;
  • organic matter and ash are used during the growing season.

Fertilizers are applied 3 to 5 times. If you adhere to the above scheme, the bushes will delight you with a stable harvest.

One of the important techniques in strawberry care is feeding. Regular fertilization guarantees a rich harvest. There are several different ways to feed strawberries, and each of them is designed for a specific period of plant development. During flowering, fruiting and after it, feeding should be different.

Frost resistance and the need for shelter

The variety has an innate frost resistance, however, in some regions of Russia, the bushes may freeze slightly. These are areas with a harsh and harsh climate. There, the bushes are recommended to be protected with a shelter. Most gardeners use non-woven fabric. You can also choose straw or special black agrotex.

In order for strawberries to delight us with an abundance of large and sweet berries next year, they need to be properly prepared for winter. The set of measures for preparing strawberries for the cold includes: pruning, watering, feeding, loosening, pest control, mulching and shelter.

Diseases and pests

Despite the resistance of Arosa strawberries to infections, some pests and diseases can affect it. For prophylaxis, the treatment is carried out with a Bordeaux mixture or a solution of "Fitosporin" is used. This is a common drug that is easy to find. If traces of pests were found on the foliage or fruits, insecticides or fungicides are used.

Chemical compositions can be used only before flowering and after fruit ovary. Otherwise, hazardous substances will get into the berries. The fruits of this variety quickly absorb toxic components. Folk remedies also show good results. They are used if the disease or infection has spread to the entire plantation or the use of chemicals is not possible.

Strawberries are often subject to many dangerous diseases that can seriously undermine its condition. Among the most common are powdery mildew, gray mold, brown spot, anthracnose, and verticillosis. Before buying a variety, you need to inquire about its disease resistance.

Reproduction

There are several ways to propagate a plant. The first option is dividing the bush. In this case, only healthy and large plants should be selected. When dividing from one copy, several strawberry bushes are obtained.

The second way is to use antennae. This variety produces a moderate amount of whiskers that can be used to grow the plantation. This is a convenient and simple method, but this breeding option is very depleting for the plant.

Also, Arosa garden strawberries can be propagated using seeds. Many gardeners consider this procedure to be quite acceptable, despite the fact that it is a long and laborious process. When choosing this method, you need to follow agricultural techniques exactly.

Strawberries or garden strawberries multiply very easily. The most common way to obtain planting material is to grow young plants from vegetative shoots - whiskers. Seedlings are also obtained by dividing the bush.
