Tea roses are timeless and timeless classics. It is impossible to imagine a collection of rose bushes without them. One of the brightest representatives of this cohort is the hybrid tea variety Burgund 81 (synonyms Burgund 81, Loving Memory, Red Cedar), medalist and prize-winner of many international flower exhibitions.

Breeding history of the variety

The variety was bred in Germany, thanks to the work and creativity of the breeders of the famous kennel Kordes Rosen under the working name KORgund81. Known since the end of the last century, or rather, since 1981, Burgundy 81 quickly won places in the collections of rose growers and continues to be popular to this day.

Description of the variety

The variety has excellent resistance to rain and hot sun - flowers do not lose petals and do not fade in the sun. At the same time, the ability to winter is also at a very decent level: it can withstand temperatures down to minus 18-23ºC (6 USDA frost resistance zone).

Branched and erect bushes reach a height of 110-150 centimeters. With a width of 80 cm, they look slim and neat. Shoots are leafy, dark green in adulthood and reddish brown at the start of the growing season. The stems have strong and sparse thorns.

Conical buds are painted in dark, almost black tones. The flower itself with a diameter of up to 10 cm in half-release has a dark red-crimson color, emphasized by lighter carmine shades of the inner petals. In full dissolution, he changes the palette to lighter red tones, also very bright, saturated and without variegation. Half-open, medium-double (30-35 petals) single flowers have a classic shape and pointed velvety-matte petals. In full disclosure, the graphicality of the outlines is lost, they become more shapeless. The bush exudes a sophisticated but very fragrant aroma.

Advantages and disadvantages

Burgundy 81 is able to present significant advantages that give it advantages over many other varieties:

  • endurance;

  • unpretentiousness;

  • strong immunity;

  • heat and stress resistance;

  • attractive appearance and high decorative effect;

  • a wide range of uses in landscape design.

Of the shortcomings, a serious one can be called the inability of the culture to survive the harsh winter: the shoots freeze out already at a temperature of -23ºC. A reliable shelter will correct the situation, but in the harsh West Siberian conditions, the perennial freezes out. Another disadvantage is the untidiness and disheveledness of the flower in full dissolution.

Flowering features

The intensity of bud formation is considered to be moderate to abundant - the rose shows continuous flowering from June to September and is classified as re-flowering.

Use in landscape design

In this regard, the variety has almost limitless possibilities, it is used in single and group plantings, in flower beds and as a soloist on lawns. The bushes are suitable for creating romantic areas for high curbs. Deep reds are perfect for white, yellow and blue palettes.As companions, you can use tall marsh or Japanese iris, with its rich, intense shades. Daylilies, lilies and other flowers will be no less good companions.

Growing regions

The variety is adapted for cultivation in the Moscow region and in the southern regions of the country.

Landing

For planting Burgundy 81, you should choose areas with moderate illumination. Ideally, these should be areas that are accessible to morning rays, but with afternoon shade.

  • Young plants can be planted in early spring and autumn, about 1-1.5 months before the onset of winter cold. Preference should be given to autumn periods, since the young will have time to acclimatize, adapt to new conditions and begin to build up the root system. The overwintered plantings begin the growing season at the same time as nature. Seedlings planted in the spring lag noticeably behind in development, as they need time to acclimatize and adapt. However, next year they will already be full-fledged plants.

  • The soil for a rose should be with a neutral or low pH level, loose and breathable, fertile, rich in humus, organic matter and minerals.

  • The optimal planting scheme for group compositions: from 1 to 1.5 meters between holes. The distance can be adjusted depending on the goals of the designer. The size of the hole is 60x60x60 cm.

  • A drainage layer is arranged at the bottom. The excavated land is enriched with organic matter (humus, manure, compost), peat, sand and mineral complex fertilizers.

During planting, the grafting site should be left under the surface of the earth, the trunk circle is compacted and watered with warm water.

Growing and care

Further care of the crop consists of standard agrotechnical techniques.

  • Watering. The event is held on a regular basis - 2 times a week. Irrigation is carried out with warm, settled water; it is categorically not recommended to use ice water.

  • Weeding, loosening and mulching provide the crop with optimal development, oxygen and good nutrition.

  • Top dressing with mullein infusion is carried out during the season, nitrogen fertilizers are applied in spring, potassium-phosphorus in summer, potash preparations in autumn.

  • Sanitary pruning is carried out in early spring, removing old, diseased and dry shoots. Formative pruning helps to maintain the shape of the bush; in the spring, adult shoots are shortened by several buds.

Preparation for the winter season consists in pruning all shoots up to 40-50 cm, hilling, covering the bushes with spruce branches and agrofibre.

Diseases and pests

Strong immunity provided the variety with good resistance to such traditional fungal diseases as:

  • powdery mildew;

  • black spot;

  • rust and gray rot.

Spring preventive treatments with Bordeaux liquid and other fungicides will be useful.

Of the pests, the plant is visited by:

  • aphid;

  • bronze;

  • sawfly;

  • spider mite.

The fight against them is carried out by treating the plantings with insecticides.

Reproduction

The variety reproduces in several ways. It is vegetative (cuttings), by seed, dividing the bush and grafting. The most effective methods are grafting and dividing an adult bush, but there is always a risk of losing the entire plant when dividing. Cutting, although it takes a long period of time, guarantees the complete inheritance of parental qualities by young plants. The collection and subsequent sowing of seeds does not always allow obtaining a crop with the same characteristics. For grafting, you need to find a high-quality graft and have a suitable stock in your garden. The best option for obtaining planting material is to buy seedlings from well-known nurseries.
