Rosa Bremen Town Musicians

Rose Bremen Town Musicians (Bremer Stadtmusikanten, Pearl, Pearl) got its unusual name by origin (bred in the last year of the last century by German breeders). Some connoisseurs of roses, in principle, call the variety not Russian, but a tracing name Bremer Stadtmuzikanten, despite the quite understandable difficulties in pronouncing several consonants in a row. English connoisseurs of a beautiful flower do not hesitate to call it Pearl. There are at least two explanations why the beautiful flower got its name.

The Bremen Town Musicians is a world-famous fairy tale by the Brothers Grimm, according to the classification of plots - a story about how stray animals find a permanent home. Bremen is a city with a population of half a million, where a monument to famous fairy-tale characters was erected 70 years ago. In the history of the variety, only the year of breeding is indicated, 2000, the originator is Kordes, the country of origin is Germany. However, the name Bremen Town Musicians has several logical explanations:

• direct indication of the place of launch, the iconic emblem of the city, with worldwide fame;

• a kind of description - this is a cheerful bush, of pleasant colors and abundant flowering, almost always repeated;

• the appearance of flowers, vaguely resembling camellia, in the brushes, several pieces at a time;

• scrubs from Germany are very popular, often used for planting in parks and squares - an association with wandering homeless musicians.

Kordes is a nursery that consistently ranks among the best varieties in the world. It gets its name from the surname of its founder, Wilhelm Cordes. The successors of the family business were his sons, Wilhelm and Herman. The Bremen Town Musicians is a variety of German breeding, which is distinguished by numerous advantages: decorative and repeated flowering, unpretentious care, frost resistance and strong immunity. Flowers with a diameter of up to 8 cm, many petals and a pleasant aroma constantly delight their owners.

The bush up to 120 cm high is erect and vigorous, decorative due to its inherent features:

• flowers and buds contrast pleasantly with dark green glossy foliage and straight, powerful stems;

• the size of the bush is compact in width, it grows in a vertical plane, which allows plants to be planted at a relatively short distance, creating a visualization of a lush flowering mass;

• the product of breeders is an undoubted success of modern floriculture, the plant fits perfectly into any styles chosen for the design of the site;

• the bush not only looks well-groomed and healthy, it is actually resistant to pests and diseases, unpretentious in care, immune to cold.

Variable reviews can be found in the global information space. Some gardeners are confused by the modern aesthetics and dislike that the shrub is compact. It has been repeatedly noted that all roses from the German nursery Kordes are distinguished by frost resistance, the ability to preserve species characteristics during reproduction and resistance to diseases.They do not need to be covered with peat for the winter, a simple shelter is enough. In places with a mild climate, they do without additional care, they winter calmly on their own.

Prerogatives and bonuses are especially weighty for a novice grower - unpretentious care and resistance to adverse conditions. It is these valuable qualities that are the main reason for the mass planting in parks and squares of megalopolises. Other advantages of planting in your own rose garden or on the site:

• compactness of a powerful bush, its aesthetic visualization;

• the possibility of widespread use in landscape design, the creation of decorative compositions of various styles;

• a fashion trend that is especially popular;

• a work of art from a German originator known among rose lovers all over the world.

There were no shortcomings in the variety, except that the gradual fading of the dominant shades and drying out of the stem can be attributed to such. They themselves do not crumble, they need pruning.

The more carefully you take care of them, the more abundant the flowering and the greater the likelihood of its repeated repetition during the season. Roses of this type are characterized by an unusual, refined color of flowers and buds, a pleasant, unobtrusive aroma. The unique color of flowers and buds goes well with other specimens in the rose garden. Terry flowers, with a huge number of petals (up to 3 per stem). They are creamy pink, with an intense pink tint in the middle, reminiscent of a camellia and no less picturesque.

The Bremen Town Musicians are good in combination with decorative cereals and conifers, but they are beautiful if they grow in the space allotted for them, loosening their pastel buds in abundance.

Experiments by home craftsmen and professionals in the art of ennobling the surrounding landscape, which is in demand now, demonstrate successful options for using a bush with enormous decorative potential:

• in a monovariant as a dominant composition of trees and shrubs;

• in group plantings, with other bushes that do not bloom so defiantly and make up a colorful background for roses of an unusual color;

• in flower beds with variegated and ground cover plants;

• in rockeries and terraces, planting along mosaic or tiled garden paths;

• in greenhouses, conservatories and patios, for low hedges and unobtrusive zoning of small areas;

• in imitation of the French, Victorian, Mediterranean landscape, imitation of pristine living nature;

• in the adjoining front gardens, creating a landscape pleasing to the eye when looking from the windows of the apartment.

Adherents of culture assure that the Bremen Town Musicians make up an expressive coloristic combination with pale pink monochromatic varieties. But against the background of a cheerful bush, such tones fade and disappear in the overall picture, and if planted with varieties of a dominant color, they drown out the sophistication and unobtrusive beauty of roses from the famous German nursery.

To do this, you should purchase a seedling from a proven nursery and place it in a shallow pit (60 cm), with drainage from pebbles, gravel or crushed stone laid at the bottom. Compost or rotted manure is applied mixed with soil. Having covered the bush to the root collar, it is spilled with water. The soil is added if it subsided after watering.

The simplest and most effective propagation is by cuttings. To give maximum decorative effect and stimulate early flowering, you need pruning of a moderate type, at the level of 5 buds. Weeding, soil loosening, preventive spraying are required. Watering young plants is required during hot periods, feeding - in the spring.Fertilizers with nitrogen are used in spring, phosphorus-potassium fertilizers in summer. The plant will gratefully respond to these simple care measures with a healthy appearance and abundant flowering.

The variety of German breeding resembles a camellia in many ways. It is a decoration for any flower bed.
