Rose is a beautiful and delicate flower that many women like. Very often she is also called the queen of all colors. Many people plant roses in their backyards or summer cottages. In order to get the most out of such an ornamental plant, you need to choose the right variety of roses and learn how to care for it.

The first who appreciated the beauty of this plant and made a description of it was the Greek philosopher and botanist Theophastus. He also analyzed the features of all varieties of roses: both wild and garden roses. He also described the basic techniques that are used to propagate and care for these plants. Thanks to this, as well as the subsequent work of many breeders, a large number of rose varieties have been bred. They all have their own characteristics.

Some bushes may have bare stems, while others are covered with small or large thorns. In addition, roses can be divided according to the shape of the bush. They are drooping, creeping or spreading.

Leaves also come in different shapes: elongated or with slightly pointed ends. The rose flower itself can be 2 to 17 centimeters in diameter. The number of petals in these flowers also varies. So, for example, simple roses can have up to 8 petals, double roses - up to 21 petals, but dense double roses can have more than 75 of them.

The shape of the rose also varies. There are buds in the form of a bowl, a ball, a water lily, and so on. The colors of roses are also very different. The most popular shades range from delicate pink to bright yellow. You can also find roses with very rare shades, such as purple or black. These flowers are especially valuable.

All rose bushes can be divided into several groups, and those into several varieties. It will be useful for both novice gardeners and those who simply admire this plant to get acquainted with all their characteristics.

This group includes plants that have rather long and flexible stems. These roses must be supported with supports so that they can grow normally. Such plants can be planted in a variety of places: in gardens, parks, near houses, make arches out of them. For the first time such varieties were bred in Japan.

If you describe the flowers themselves, then they are small, while they can be both simple and double. All of them are collected in inflorescences of various shades - from delicate cream to bright pink. Roses of these varieties are practically odorless. They bloom only once a season. However, the flowering itself lasts more than one month. And the flower looks really amazing during this period. Very rare subspecies of such roses bloom again.

The most recognizable and common flowers in this group.

The second flowering period begins in August and lasts until the first frost.

This variety is a combination of two species that were known to people before: hybrid tea and floribunda. The result is very beautiful flowers with a heady aroma.

Thanks to breeders, a large number of unusual flowers have appeared in the world. It is worth taking a closer look at the most exotic specimens.

• "Black Rose"... Such roses grow in Turkey. However, in order to achieve this color at home, you can simply add a little dye to the plant itself. Typically, sellers do this. French breeders have bred the rose, which naturally has a dark and rich color. This flower is terry, up to 8 centimeters in diameter, and consists of 35 petals. Such a rose has almost no scent.
• "Rainbow". To get such a flower, you need to make a lot of effort. In addition, it should consist of several shades. When growing, different colored dyes are used. These roses are very expensive.

• Viridiflora. This Chinese rose is more like a lily.However, her green color and unsurpassed aroma still distinguish the queen of roses from her neighbors in the flower bed.

You can find petals both speckled and striped. The flowers of such a rose are double, with 45 petals. They have a delicate aroma with hints of black currant. Bloom throughout the season at short intervals.
• Bleu Magenta. These are quite rare, but at the same time very beautiful roses. Their color is very intense, with a purple-violet tint. The plant belongs to a miniature subgroup and grows no more than 45 centimeters. The flowers themselves are small, but they make up huge inflorescences of 25-35 flowers. Such roses bloom for only one month, but all this time they delight the owners with their beauty. In addition, they require special attention to themselves, they are afraid of frost, as well as heavy rains. Therefore, for the winter time, they must be covered with at least a thin layer of humus.

Also, the choice depends on the preferences of the buyer. After all, there are several groups of roses and they can be high, and low-growing, and climbing, and park. The choice of such plants primarily depends on the climatic conditions of the region where the person lives. After all, those roses that are suitable for central Russia are not at all suitable for Siberia. This is quite logical, because those varieties that are afraid of frost may not survive at all in cold conditions.

Today, the choice of colors is quite varied. So, in specialized nurseries you can find new species or popular exotic plants.

When choosing a flower, first of all, it is necessary to determine what area of ​​the site can be decorated with roses. If there are a lot of empty places on it or you need to hide ugly buildings under them, then it is better to purchase shrabs or climbing roses. These plants will effortlessly "cope" with this task. They can also be used to create hedges.

In cases where the site is very small, and there is practically no place for planting, you need to take a closer look at such types as patios, floribunda or miniature roses. They can be planted at the very paths or in the most ordinary pots. In these cases, hybrid tea varieties of roses are also suitable. They can be planted in any place where they will look great, even "in splendid isolation."

In addition, it is necessary that the flowers are combined with each other in shape. If the choice is made in favor of a goblet rose, then its neighbors should be similar to it. But openwork can be combined with both thick double and simple roses.

Be sure to remember about the choice of shade. If the gardener likes purple or orange flowers, it is best to plant them in places where there will be at least a little shade during even the largest solstice. After all, such shades very quickly become lighter and actually fade in the sun.

Do not be afraid to buy roses when there are already other flowers on the site. After all, they will be able to coexist with any plants. You also need to remember that not every rose loves excessive moisture. Therefore, for those places where it is increased, it is better to purchase varieties that are not afraid of viral diseases such as powdery mildew.

This also applies to those regions where heavy rains are constantly falling. Some roses lose their former attractiveness after rain. Therefore, it is worth choosing flowers that are resistant to such conditions.

For those places where there is a drought, roses from the "Guillot" nursery will do. Even under the scorching sun, they remain the same. In addition, special attention should be paid to their frost resistance. For those regions where winters are too cold, roses bred by Canadian breeders are perfect. They can withstand even very severe frosts down to -42 degrees. Varieties from German breeders are considered less resistant.

Also, when buying, you should pay attention to those varieties of roses that bloom throughout the season. However, this will not be enough, they will also require some fertilization. They can be both organic and mineral.

Separately, it should be noted that some roses do not have thorns. They are worth buying if children live in the house so that they do not get hurt. However, if you still come across seedlings with thorns, it is better to plant them away from the paths. To care for such roses, you need to take thick and high-quality mittens so as not to injure your hands during garden work.

For those public places where a lot of people walk, and roses are planted right next to the sidewalk or in places where children run, it is better to buy varieties of ground cover roses from German breeders. Only in this case the site will always look neat and well-groomed. Roses from German nurseries are the least exposed to trampling, as well as those flowers that have the distinctive mark "ADR".

When choosing seedlings, special attention should be paid to the root system. It must be well developed and not damaged. The time of adaptation of the flower will depend on this.

Whichever variety of roses is chosen for planting on your site, plants will definitely delight their owners with a look and aroma. Among other things, with the help of roses, you can hide the most ugly places on the site, and in the summertime please your loved ones with a freshly cut flower.
