Rose Bombastic is actively used both in landscape design and for decorating wedding or festive bouquets. Before growing this varietal variety, you need to familiarize yourself with its description, advantages and disadvantages, and also learn about the basic rules for care.
Description of the variety
The botanical variety of the Lady Bombastic rose is an elite variety that is highly popular among gardeners around the world. A perennial plant is characterized by compactness, good aromatic and visual properties.
The average height of erect shoots varies from 0.6 to 0.8 m. In most cases, the bushes are slightly splendid. The diameter of the deciduous part is 0.5 m. The foliage is usually small with a dark green tint.
Advantages and disadvantages
The main advantage of this rose variety is its high resistance to various diseases, especially fungal processes. An equally important advantage of the plant is the absence of thorns on the main trunk, pleasant aromatic characteristics and a high rate of fruit decorativeness.
The main drawback noted by many gardeners is the significant demand for care of the culture. Failure to follow fairly simple recommendations for feeding, watering, pruning and many other aspects of growing negatively affects flowering and further growth.
Flowering features
This varietal variety is considered a re-flowering crop. In most cases, flowering begins in early June, which stops after 1-1.5 months until new buds form. After that, flowering resumes again - until the first days of autumn.
Distinctive features of the variety are a delicate pinkish-cream color of flowers and a rather pleasant, persistent smell. The buds are also distinguished by high splendor and milky beige color. The average flower size is 6-8 cm, depending on growing conditions.
Landing
In order for the plant to grow well, and also differ in high-quality flowering and a large number of buds, the first thing to do is to choose the right place for planting. Experts recommend choosing a well-lit and windless area.
The soil should be slightly loose and contain a lot of oxygen. In order for the seed to grow faster, it should be placed in the lower compartment of the refrigerator for 3-4 days. Before planting, it is recommended to moisten the seeds in a small amount of peroxide and keep in a dark room until the first shoots appear.
Further, the germinated seeds are placed in a previously prepared garden mixture or peat tablets. Seedlings are always planted in the first months of spring. Otherwise, the plant will not have time to develop a good root system and will die rather quickly.
Experts recommend digging planting holes, the depth of which does not exceed 0.4 m. At the same time, any suitable drainage substance with a thickness of 8-10 cm is usually laid out on the bottom. As practice shows, gravel or crushed crushed stone is most effective.
After the seedling has been installed in the soil mixture, it should be carefully tamped. Otherwise, the plant will often hurt and will not be able to stand in the hole for a sufficient amount of time.
Growing and care
Further care for this varietal variety involves following simple rules that relate to watering and feeding, preparing for winter, pruning and transplanting. If you neglect these recommendations, the rose will quickly begin to fade or will show poor-quality flowering.
Unlike other popular varieties, this rose variety is highly demanding in its care. The vast majority of problems observed during the growth process are caused by improper cultivation and non-compliance with basic recommendations.
Watering and feeding
This varietal variety should be watered regularly. It is especially important to ensure that the potting mix is always slightly damp. Watering is recommended in the evening or morning. If the liquid is applied on a sunny day, there is a great chance of burns and gradual burnout of the buds.
And also during the watering process, it is important to ensure that moisture does not get on the shoots or foliage. Otherwise, the plant may die. It is recommended to use settled clean water at room temperature, which is applied directly to the root system.
Top dressing is usually carried out in the spring. For this, experts advise the use of nitrogen-based fertilizers - nitrate, urea and other similar components. The supply of nitrogen-containing substances to the rose contributes to more active growth and development of the vegetative system.
In the fall, a small amount of potassium sulfate or superphosphate can be added to the potting mix. Such organic compounds make it possible to increase the plant's resistance to winter and effectively restore energy reserves in the root and stem systems.
Pruning
It is recommended to prune the plant 2-3 times per season. This is usually done in the first months of spring - until the sap flow begins. The foliage is re-pruned in the middle of the fall.
Experts recommend pruning frozen or old shoots in the spring, and in the fall to carry out preventive or sanitary pruning of the bush. In this case, all damaged or too weak stems are removed. If you neglect these tips, the bush will look ugly.
Frost resistance and preparation for winter
Rosa Bombastic is a frost-resistant plant, but in winter it still needs to be additionally covered. This process is recommended when the temperature drops below –5 ° C.
To begin with, rose bushes are covered with a small layer of dried foliage. On top of this material, 2-3 cm of pine and spruce branches are laid. Next, a metal or wire frame is installed, the height of which should not exceed 20-25 cm.
On top of the structure, an ordinary fabric is stretched. After that, small holes are made on the sides, with the help of which the improvised greenhouse will be ventilated.
