Rose Garden Spirit will be able to become a pleasant addition to even the most exquisite garden. But for this you need to carefully study its features. In addition to botanical traits, the nuances of cultivation can also play an important role.
Breeding history of the variety
Rose Garden Spirit appeared relatively recently: it was bred by Dutch breeders in 2017. Therefore, the plant has not yet managed to get into the Russian register of crops. A number of sources mention that this is one of the tea hybrids, but in fact the rose is peony. Basically, the developers of the variety sought to get a plant suitable for cutting into a bouquet, and they did it.
Description of the variety
The peony plant produces powdery flowers with a pinkish border. At the same time, pink and cream colors dominate on the main part of the bud. This part of the plant does not differ in particular brightness of color. Other features besides two-color:
- bush height - from 800 to 900 mm;
- plant width - up to 600 mm;
- decent resistance to cold (at a temperature of -20 degrees, the culture hibernates relatively calmly).
Advantages and disadvantages
The almost complete absence of thorns makes such a rose a convenient purchase. She tolerates heat and pathogenic influences well. However, Garden Spirit can be relatively badly damaged when it rains. In general, aesthetic and other consumer benefits outweigh potential concerns, even a relatively weak scent.
Flowering features
After the formation of flowers, they persist for quite a long time. Garden Spirit will bloom abundantly and beautifully. A sweetish aroma floats around, which includes notes of green tea and citrus fruits. This smell is not very strong. But the flowers reach a section of 90 mm.
Growing regions
Since the culture belongs to the 6th area of frost resistance for roses, it can be successfully grown in:
- lower reaches of the Volga;
- Voronezh region;
- Kaliningrad region;
- regions of the North Caucasus.
Landing
The Garden Spirit landing requires the use of sunny, but impervious areas to the chilly winds. Planting this culture near fences and other obstacles that cut off drafts is encouraged. The choice of soils with weak acidity is advisable. The preference for spring or autumn planting is at the discretion of the breeders themselves, who must weigh all the arguments in favor of both decisions. Since the bush will be up to 90 cm high, a medium-sized planting hole is required.
Before the procedure, you should make sure that the root system is well developed and has time to start branching. It is unacceptable to use seedlings with diseased shoots. Temporary pots are an extreme measure if the plant has not yet matured. It is inappropriate to engage in disembarkation during extreme heat. Compliance with these simple rules almost completely guarantees success if you treat the plantings carefully.
Growing and care
Garden Spirit, if the summer is not excessively hot, needs watering every 10-14 days. But with the onset of real heat, it is necessary to irrigate the plantings more often.Caring for such a plant should go on continuously, even after missing a few days, you can face serious problems. Against the background of active growth, the bushes need nitrogenous fertilizer. After the end of the first flowering, mineral fertilizer is again used, but this time the emphasis is no longer on nitrogen, but on potassium.
In spring and autumn, in normal weather, the rose is watered every 10-12 days. As soon as Garden Spirit has been watered, the soil around it will need to be mulched with humus. In case of inhibition of growth, the earth should be shed with an unsaturated saltpeter solution. You shouldn't get carried away with organic feeding. They are used only when the plant is clearly sickly.
