Rose "Parade": features, planting and care

Rose "Parade" - this rare type of flowers that combines practicality in terms of care, beauty pleasing to the eye, and an amazing scent in spring and summer. Its original name is Parade, it was introduced in the United States in 1953 and has since become popular. This article will tell you about the reasons for this, and about many other interesting facts regarding this variety of roses.

The incomparable climbing rose "Parade" belongs to the climing group, that is, "climbing", the class of large-flowered roses. This variety of roses is not capricious at all and takes root almost anywhere where it will be provided with basic care.

It grows and blooms rapidly. The maximum height that the bush can reach is 4 meters, and the width is 2 meters. Of course, this is only possible when it is attached to the support. Due to the fact that the shoots themselves of this variety are light and very flexible, under the influence of the gravity of their own flowers, they begin to lean towards the ground.

The leaves of the "Parade" are dark green, but also thin and soft. They are located very close to each other. The flowers of this variety are lush and oval in shape, reaching 10 cm in diameter. One flower contains about 30 petals. Usually flowers appear in 5 pieces on one branch. By the end of the flowering period, they become almost ruby. The advantages of this ornamental plant include the fact that "Parade" blooms several times per season. The first bloom of the season occurs in early or mid June, and the last - in late August, early September.

Quite resistant to showers, despite its "tenderness". Thanks to the soft and flexible stems, water flows from them, practically without injuring the plant. The colors of these roses should be noted separately. The buds come in a variety of colors ranging from hot pink to cherry red. The darkest color is in the core of the flower, and the closer to the edge the petals are, the lighter they are. By the way, with each flowering, the flowers change their color to a darker and more saturated one.

Roses should be planted during late spring or early summer. Traditionally, it is believed that with such a planting, the roses will have time to settle in a new place by the fall. Some gardeners plant in the fall or late summer, this may not always have a good effect on the plant. Landing in the late period is possible only in warm areas with mild winters.... The rose should be planted in a well-lit and windy place.

Planting "Parade" can be done with any plants, but you can also plant separately. A striking example of a "good neighborhood" is the clematis plant. You need to know that a plant has a vigorous flowering only in the second year after planting. And in general, careful care is required only in the first year after planting, and in the second and beyond, it is no longer so scrupulous.

It is important to plant correctly, because the further fate of the plant depends on it.

Below is an instruction on how to do it correctly.

• For the bush, you need to dig a hole the size of the root system.
• Pour organic fertilizer into the pit - rotted manure is best. One small pit requires half a bucket.
• The seedling itself must be soaked in water with added growth stimulant "Kornevin" for half an hour.
• The soaked seedling must now be placed in the hole in a position perpendicular to the ground. The roots need to be spread.
• Cover with earth and tamp lightly.
• Sprinkle the bush with plenty of water.
• Cut the bush to a height of 15 cm.

As you can see, the planting process itself is not very difficult. But you will need to pay special attention not only to caring for the plant in the first year after transplantation, but also to observe the slightest changes, as already noted above.

Do not plant the rose in high pH soil. She does not tolerate an acidic environment. In order to reduce acidity, calcium solutions must be added to the soil. In the first year after planting, the plant does not require feeding. Usually, in order for it to grow rapidly, there are enough fertilizers that were applied along with the planting.

In order for this plant to grow well, it is necessary to make a support for it, or plant it next to the support. A number of structures can serve as a support: a fence, a branch, a lattice, a column. Taking care of the plant is not difficult, as already mentioned. In the warm season, you need to water the rose every 10 days. In summer, this can be done more often, the main thing is to wait for the soil to completely dry out after the previous watering. It is imperative to feed the roses with mineral and organic fertilizers.

If the bush is already several years old, then it can only be fertilized with organic additives, and then, only 4 times a year and only in summer... Top dressing occurs only before or after flowering. Every autumn you need to add a solution of potassium salts to the soil of the plant.

In late autumn, you need to remove all the bushes for the winter. To do this, they must be tilted to the ground, covered with a layer of dry leaves, covered with a cloth or cloth. Dry leaves can be replaced with spruce branches.

With the onset of spring, it is necessary to remove all this, and it is best to do this in cloudy weather, and first even leave the plants covered with a light cloth. On a cool, non-sunny day, roses will not fall under the bright rays of the sun and will more easily endure the transition from winter to spring. It is imperative to remove the canvas from the roses at the first warming in spring.... Otherwise, they may start cheering. Recently, kits "for covering roses in winter" have been on sale. This includes a support and a tent-like fabric. Pruning roses should be done with a sharp tool, and it is best to disinfect it before starting work.

When growing a rose at home in a pot, it is necessary to water the plant quite often, in the summer - up to two times a day... Roses love the sun, so you need to place them only on a windowsill, brightly lit by the sun during the day. It is recommended to water with warm water. Experienced gardeners have noticed that the better the rose is cared for, the more luxuriant it blooms year after year. But it was also noticed that the darker the place where the roses grow, the less vigorously they bloom.

Rose "Parade" can reproduce in several ways:

• a well-known method - seed propagation;
• another well-known "artificial" method is vaccination;
• layering is the most "natural" way to reproduce a rose;
• cuttings.

The simplest and most inexpensive methods of propagation are cuttings and layering. Seeds need to be purchased only in specialty stores or regular supermarkets. Roses of the same variety, planted earlier, can produce seeds from which other roses can grow. Simply put, seeds do not always inherit maternal traits.

If you plant a plant in a dark place, then later on the plant itself and on the soil, fungi may appear. Despite the fact that this rose loves abundant watering, in no case should it be planted in the ground, where groundwater passes very close to the surface. If it turns out that the rhizome of the plant is damaged, then it is necessary to water it with Kornevin solution. You can also replace it with a solution of "Zircon" and "Epin".

A fairly well-known disease that affects many plants, including the "Parade" - powdery mildew. It appears as a white bloom on the leaves. The best remedy for it is an infusion of ash, which must be sprayed on the plant.... Usually young seedlings are susceptible to this disease.

Black spot, which is expressed in maroon spots on the leaves, is treated with a solution of copper sulfate.

Note: Parade is highly resistant to powdery mildew and black spot. Simply put, the plant is susceptible to these diseases, but extremely rarely.

Other attack for a rose is a spider mite... Now on sale there are many solutions, infusions, powders that fight this pest. Another pest that almost everyone met was the rose cicada. It is a small green flying insect that feeds on sap from leaves, as a result of which they dry out. "Intavir" and "Fufanon" help to neutralize the action of the pest.

Rose "Parade" can create a stunning "living" wall, even if it is not blooming. All thanks to the dark emerald color of small, dense leaves. And when it blooms, it fills the area around it with its aroma.

White columns entwined with "Parade" roses are perfect as a lush decoration of the courtyard of a restaurant or other institution. Bright pink flowers will have a bright contrast against the background of conifers. If desired and hard work, the Parade rose can be grown as a bush, despite the fact that it needs support. It is only important to regularly cut it to a certain length. These cherry-colored bushes go well with white roses in the form of a living fence.

The "Parade" roses planted around it will also create a shade and give grace to the summer gazebo. In conclusion, it should be noted that, besides other advantages, the Parade rose is also distinguished by longevity and an abundance of unopened buds during the flowering period, which later will gradually bloom, thereby forming the effect of “infinity of flowering”.
