Roses are a special decoration for any garden. Each florist has grown these flowers at least once on his site. The Ascot variety has lush buds that bloom throughout the season.

Breeding history of the variety

Rosa Ascot was bred in 2007 in Germany in Rosen Tantau kennel. The author-breeder was Hans Evers. International name Ascot. The culture belongs to hybrid tea varieties. As intended, it is used for landscape design, for cutting for bouquets, for growing in compositions or containers.

Description of the variety

The bush forms compact, dense and low. Stems are upright, dense and very powerful. Their height reaches 60-80 cm. In more southern regions with a warm and pleasant climate, the height of the shoots can be up to 100 cm. The crown is small, only 45-50 cm wide. There are few thorns.

Leaves are medium-sized, deep green with a shiny smooth surface. They are lanceolate in shape.

At the top of the shoots, either single flowers or multi-flowered drooping brushes are formed, which consist of 3-5 buds. Sometimes 7-10 buds can form.

The bud is round in shape, and the flower is cupped or spherical. The petals are very tight to each other. The rosette size is 9-10 cm in diameter.

The color of the bud is dark burgundy, the flower is purple-burgundy. On the outside, the petals have a lilac tint. The color saturation is dark.

The number of petals in a bud is 40-45 pieces, they are of the dense double type. The inflorescence is multi-flowered.

The aroma of the rose is strong and very intense. To many, it resembles the smell of an old rose with hints of herbs.

Advantages and disadvantages

One of the most important advantages, according to flower growers, is a catchy and spectacular appearance. Due to the fact that the buds open gradually and very slowly, the bush blooms throughout the season, without visible voids.

The variety tolerates winter well in mid-latitudes. The culture has a fairly good immunity to a number of fungal diseases, as well as to insect attacks.

The rose has thorns on the shoots. But due to their small size, they do not inject so much.

Among the disadvantages, one can point out the fact that rose petals do not react very positively to direct sunlight. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a landing site with a special approach.

Flowering features

Like all representatives of hybrid tea cultures, the Ascot rose blooms several times per season (from June to September).

Abundant and continuous flowering. Sometimes there are small breaks, but they are not so noticeable.

Dissolving is slow. With the arrival of slight cold weather, the buds begin to shrink.

When opened, the rosette holds the petals tightly for 2-2.5 weeks. After that, the petals begin to gradually fall off.

To quickly resume the formation of new buds, it is necessary to cut off the faded flower heads in time.

Use in landscape design

Typically, landscape designers plant the Ascot rose in rose gardens along with other varieties. In terms of color, it is best to combine with pale pink or lilac shades.

The most beautiful combination will be with white roses. They are most often planted in the center, and brighter buds are planted in a circle or edging.

Due to its height, the Ascot rose is ideal for decorating garden paths; it can be planted next to a gazebo or veranda in small flower beds.

If flower beds are being formed, then a short-cut lawn will be the ideal background.

Landing

The best time for planting is spring, especially if you are planting seedlings. In this case, the shrub will grow a little over the course of a year, and will pick up color next year.

For the future rose garden, you should choose a place well-lit by the sun, but it should not be too open so that young flowers do not get burned.

You should not choose an area where it is too windy, especially there should be no drafts.

The soil should be nutritious, light and well-drained. You should not allow the formation of lowlands or boggy, because in this case, the bushes can get sick from excess moisture.

First, you should prepare a hole, the diameter of which should be from 40 to 60 cm (it is necessary to proceed from the size of the roots). The depth of the fossa should correspond to the length of the main root, plus 10-15 cm.

All excavated soil must be fertilized. To do this, it is worth purchasing sand, manure and nitroammophos. This mixture is mixed with each other.

The seedling itself at this time should be placed in a container with damp sand and left for 12-15 hours. After that, the roots need to be cut by 1-2 cm.

Before disembarking, the hole is plentifully spilled with water. Then the seedling should be lowered so that the graft is 5 cm above ground level. While holding the seedling, you should gradually cover it with fertilized soil. The soil must be carefully tamped.

Digs a furrow at a small radius from the bush. Everything is well spilled with water.

Growing and caring

You can also grow an Ascot rose using a seed method. This path will last a little longer than planting an immediately finished seedling. But there is a big advantage with seed sowing. The culture in this case will be more adapted to the climatic conditions of the region, and can also quickly acclimatize and adapt to any weather changes.

Rose care should include:

  • watering;

  • top dressing;

  • pruning;

  • preparation for winter;

  • disease prevention.

Watering and feeding

Watering the Ascot rose is carried out 1-2 times a week, depending on rainfall or aridity. The main condition for any irrigation is that the moisture reaches 20-25 cm deep.

The soil around can be mulched. This will help keep moisture in the ground longer. Any organic elements are suitable for this: peat, straw or sawdust.

Top dressing is applied infrequently, only once a month. To do this, you can choose a mineral complex for roses. You can also use a fermented solution of chicken droppings.

By mid-summer, all dressings are minimized, as they stimulate color production and bud growth. Watering is also reduced.

Pruning

Pruning is carried out in the spring and fall. After winter, shoots that are frozen are removed. Florists begin to form the crown, giving the required size.

In the summer, all wilted buds are cut off. This must be done in a timely manner so that new buds begin to bloom.

In the fall, all wilted stems are removed, as well as those that have been damaged. Gradually, the bush begins to prepare for winter.

All cuts should be treated with garden varnish.

Diseases and pests

The culture has excellent immunity to a number of fungal diseases and to insect attack. But if you do not take care of the variety, then the bush can get sick.

Powdery mildew is considered the most common disease. It can be dealt with with baking soda. The bushes are sprayed with a spray bottle 2 times every week, for a period of one month.

Green aphids are an insect that is good to fight with laundry soap. It is necessary to boil water and soak wormwood and a bar of laundry soap in it. The solution is prepared for 10 liters of water. The stem itself and each leaf are treated with the mixture once a week. The procedure is carried out until the pest disappears.
