The bud contains up to 35 petals. The branches of the rose bush are abundantly covered with leaves with a dark green glossy surface.

Growing regions

The variety is intended for growing outdoors in central Russia, as well as in the southern regions of the Russian Federation. And also it is suitable for growing in the south of the Urals and Siberia in the open field, if you properly prepare a winter shelter for such a plant.

Landing

It is necessary to plant a rose bush of spray roses Alegria in a place sheltered from the winds and in well-lit areas of the garden, but not in the sun. The soil should be well moistened, with an acid-base level of 5.6 to 7.3 pH. The root system of the seedlings should be placed in a hole at least 50 cm deep. A good drainage of sand or gravel should first be done. Alegria rose should be planted in May. Before planting, 3 parts of manure, 2 parts of fertile soil and one part of sand with peat should be added to the soil.Before planting in the ground, you need to hold the seedlings for 4 to 6 hours in water.

Growing and care

Although the variety is considered unpretentious, like any roses, it requires regular and abundant watering and needs regular feeding. In the spring, at the beginning of the growing season, the rose bush should be sanitized. During the summer, the land around the bush should be weeded and loosened regularly.

Watering and feeding

Water the spray rose of this variety abundantly at least once a week. Top dressing is carried out with special ready-made compounds or manure at the beginning and in the middle of the warm season. To increase flowering, potassium-phosphorus compounds are used; to strengthen the young bush, ammonium nitrate, nitrogen-containing fertilizers and magnesium are used.

Pruning

In order for the rose bush to retain its high decorative effect, it is necessary to regularly prune it. In summer, shoots with flowers can be used for cut bouquets. In general, pruning should be done three times per season:

  • in spring, removing dry shoots;

  • in summer, cutting off wilted flowers;

  • in the fall, preparing the bush for shelter for the winter.

With the help of the timely removal of wilted and dried shoots, effective prevention of infectious diseases can be carried out.

Frost resistance and preparation for winter

The variety is resistant to frost if properly sheltered before winter. The general condition of the plant in spring depends on a properly carried out shelter. To prepare Alegria for winter, you need:

  • remove dry branches and inflorescences;

  • form a good earthen ball;

  • make a sand or peat embankment;

  • cover the bush with branches or dry grass.

You can use a new method of shelter by creating a metal frame made of wire over the cut bush at a height of 40 cm, and then cover it with foam or other insulation, and then cover it with plastic wrap, which is fixed at the edges with earth or stones. You need to cover the plant before the onset of frost.

Diseases and pests

Although the variety is resistant to various types of infectious diseases and pests, it is required to regularly sanitize at the beginning of the season with insecticidal preparations against various pests:

  • aphids;

  • spider mite;

  • cicadas;

  • caterpillars-leaf rollers.

This variety of spray rose bush has good resistance to infectious and fungal diseases, provided it is properly cared for during cultivation.

If a white bloom or black spots appear on the flower, it must be treated with Bordeaux liquid or 0.5% soda ash solution. As a preventive procedure, after wintering in the spring, it is required to treat the bush with Bordeaux liquid. To prevent the plant from contracting fungal diseases, during the preparation of the rose for wintering, you need to remove the fallen leaves in the near-stem circle.

It is better to harvest cuttings in the warm season, from May to August, when the bush is actively growing. Rooted cuttings, cooked during the summer and fall, are planted in a permanent place, covered with a glass or plastic jar.
