Among the advantages of the variety, it is worth highlighting frost resistance, strong immunity that protects against fungal infections, abundant and continuous flowering, quick adaptation to growing conditions.

Flat-shaped flowers, consisting of five petals, grow medium in size - up to 6-8 cm in diameter. The color of the rose is very beautiful - creamy pink petals are perfectly combined with dark pink or red stamens.

Outwardly, the French rose resembles a rosehip or apple blossom. Blooming roses have no aroma, but they attract attention with their extraordinary beauty.

Use in landscape design

Rose bushes can be used to create a hedge, zone beds in the front garden, plant them separately, and also combine with more contrasting colors in color. The main thing is not to plant a French rose with tall trees and shrubs that obscure the sun. It is also worth noting that roses are suitable for cutting as they can stand in a vase for a while, retaining their attractiveness.

Growing regions

Despite the fact that the pink variety was bred not so long ago, it gained popularity in many regions of the country. Initially, the rose adapted to central Russia, but over time it began to be grown in the Krasnodar Territory, Vladivostok, the Rostov Region, St. Petersburg, as well as in the Crimea and the Baltic States.

Landing

The best time for planting is spring: late April - early May. In some regions, planting is carried out in early summer, when a stable heat sets in. For roses, choose a leveled area where there is a lot of sun and light.Many summer residents claim that French rose bushes can grow and bloom in partial shade, under a canopy. It is recommended to place up to 4-5 seedlings per 1 m2.

Growing and care

The rose is cultivated by planting seedlings with a healthy root system. For this, seedlings (2-3 years) are selected, which are planted in pre-prepared pits 40-50 cm deep, where drainage from rubble and a layer of fertilizers are laid. After the procedure, the pink planting is watered with settled water, and the soil is lightly tamped.

In order for the bushes to grow lush, to please with abundant flowering, it is necessary to feed the culture. The rose reacts well to mineral fertilizers, which are applied in early spring.

Pruning

Several pruning is done throughout the season. Frozen shoots are removed in early spring, their length is shortened. In the fall, dry, damaged and diseased shoots are cut, and the bushes are thinned out, since they grow strongly.
