Which roses need at the shelter?

In the shelter for the winter need absolutely all groups of modern roses: and Hybrid Tea, Floribunda roses and, and climbing, and even gardening, derived from wild roses decorative. Carelessness and laziness in breeding these beautiful colors are not allowed.

When the cover roses?

All roses are beginning to harbor for the winter, when you set a small stable "minus", particularly heat-loving varieties - after the first frost.

Cropped and lodge in sub-zero temperatures have (to -5, in the past year - even in the snow), because I can afford to travel to the country to a sustainable snow.

The process rose to a shelter?

Roses can be sprayed with a 3% solution of ferrous sulfate or oksihomom (as per instructions). Be careful: excess concentrations can cause burns of the plant. In the spring, when opened, many use a solution of copper sulfate.

What and how to spud?

Best okuchka for the roses - a breathable composition: 50% - land, 50% - sand. Peat is not necessary - it is wetted and caking. Moreover, peat may freeze slightly, and then its sharp edges damaging the bark of roses. Sawdust, hay and straw attract mice, so it is recommended to mix with the ground.

Many gardeners, having tried different versions okuchki roses generally reject it because of the threat of damping off.

Spud now only rozy- "first years" in my garden (three-year). Spud the ground mixture with sand in equal parts. It is easier and dry faster, preventing the roses in her column sopret.

Ample protection many consider well pressed on the sides lutrastil. Know-how FORUMHOUSE users lutrastil not covered with earth and stones is not pressed, and prishpilivayut bamboo sticks for barbecue. Unlike conventional sticks of wood, they do not rot and secured in the ground until spring.

How to cover the different types of roses?

rose varietal and species affiliation affect its hardiness, and, therefore, on the way to its wintering grounds.

Hybrid Tea Roses

These are the most pampered roses: they are more readily and freeze, and vyprevayut spring moisture, which can accumulate in the shelter. So this group of roses in need of additional assistance. Before the shelter they cut to 40-45 cm, all patients and immature shoots are removed.

That is, the hybrid tea roses in laying no need, they simply cut a cover layer. Noted: The lower cut off Hybrid Tea Rose, the better it will bloom next summer.

Ideally Hybrid Tea closed frame on which "put on" this or that material. Thus, the consultant FORUMHOUSE Lobelia 2000 harbor tunnel of roofing material grafted hybrid tea bushes and own-rooted cuttings that have become during this time the bushes. Roofing material is laid on the arc from the sides the material is pressed by slate. South end of the tunnel is still open.

Of course, a lot of fuss, and Vidocq still that, but all alive and well, and this spring we were again together with them!

climbing roses

Climbing roses harbor along the entire length of shoots - this measure provides a stable bloom the following year. Scourge of young shrubs with tapestries removed in advance, as long as they did not lose flexibility. It happens that rose over the years grows to three meters - so long plant "down to earth" for a long time and gradually, tied for rope, rope - to a peg driven into the ground (perfect for barbecue skewer) and once a week a little bit attract earth. For normal wintering enough half-meter bending rose above the earth. Shoots prishpilivayut arcs, which can be made of pieces of wire diameter of 4 mm and a length of about 60 cm.

Climbing rose not laid on the ground, and, for example, on a layer lapnika. Instead lapnika can be used, for example, cut flowers autumn raspberries, but then it is important that the shoots do not touch the green mass: on top of the raspberries stretches nonwoven. Harboring recommended lutrastilom desirably sixties. By the onset of sustained cold weather in -5-7 degrees rose to be laid down and closed.

Laid on winter climbing roses grown up time-consuming and troublesome, so many simply harbor the whole bush, with tapestry, burlap and wrapped with heavy paper or cover material, or something else suitable.

Climbing roses STANDING wrap cardboard boxes put on top of them out of sugar sacks. Spud. In order not to fall, tie them to support (they have me grow mainly at the fence).

Floribunda roses

"Floribunda" more resistant to climatic foci than Tea rose gardening, but they also need to be comfortable conditions for overwintering. Let's see how it makes a recognized authority on rozovodstve FORUMHOUSE Helga.

Cropped all dotsvetayuschee, cut all unnecessary (thin twigs, flowering which is poor, the new, but not lignified shoots). Cant rose under cover. Is fixed in a horizontal position. Okuchka should be breathable. Covering (not wrapped with) all this stuff lutrasilom. Maximum sufficient may be a double layer of 60-ki.

rose park

Park rose the most winter-hardy, but they need a shelter.

Helga

We do not have cultivated roses, not in need of shelter. NOT. This is not the flowers of our climate. Only different "dog-rose" can afford to spend the winter unsheeted. For "Canadian" is also not true.

Prepare for winter park rose easiest: it simply bends, "prishpilivayut" to land and shelter for the reliability of anything - spruce branches, pieces of roofing felt, etc... Without shelter, many shoots park roses, for sure, will podmerzshie.

Personal preferences

Method shelter depends not only on the type of roses, but also from the fact that it seems necessary to its owner. Someone thinks that it is imperative to Rose hill, who long ago gave up hilling. Someone will handle rose on the eve of the winter, someone believes that the summer is enough treatments. Someone removes leaves, someone thinks it's extra work.

With regard to the appropriateness of the air-dry shelter, most rosarian FORUMHOUSE converge on the fact that "seasonal" cottagers better not to use it. MAT can be applied by those who live near their roses, or those who may be guaranteed to get to his dacha in the early spring. If you miss with the opening, rose to lose.

"Season" cottagers should not use MAT

Finally, we offer you to get acquainted with the personal experiences that users of our portal is considered a success.

Here's how the rose harbor VEP:

• With roses removes leaves, bushes trimmed to one-third and associates.
• Sprinkle rose by about half of the bush, first sand, then the ground.
• Monitors temperature. -5-8 degrees pour roses are not afraid, but may be affected naked inoculation point.
• With decreasing temperature resistant VEP covers sprinkled lutrastilom roses. On the arc stretches cucumber mesh top - agrovoloknom. Lutrastila edge presses to the ground, but leaves openings for ventilation.

• When the temperature drops below -12-15 degrees, VEP covers these holes, and hopes that refuge be covered with snow blanket.

Olga F. in its Volgograd climate characterized by low humidity with little snow, extreme temperatures and strong wind, harboring rose as follows: the first weekend cuts bushes and their sapropel spud (each bush takes from half to full buckets). Sprinkles on top of loose vegetation, for example, cut asters. Until the frozen earth, makes plastic pipe arch height of 50-80 cm. Arc located every 70-80 cm.

Loose vegetation Olga throws for insurance if the shelter is still sag, it does not lie directly on the roses. The air gap will remain, albeit minimal.

Lutrastil protect roses from spring sunburn and polyethylene provides dry shelter

In the following output (or, depending on the weather later) covers an arc lutrastilom, and top - polyethylene. On the perimeter cover pressed against the ground. Small roses Olga covers not arcs, and plastic boxes, from above - also lutrastil or polyethylene.

Olga believes that for the shelter to properly use these two materials at once: lutrastil protect roses from spring sunburn and polyethylene gives it a dry shelter, as long as the air gap was really big.

For four winters, in which Olga practiced this method of hiding, out of a hundred roses she had gone about five. And one -as foolishness Olga opened a little early to stalk, and he was burned in the sun.

Method shelter spied a neighbor. She's a noble rosarian!

It is important to overcome the spring itself, and do not rush to remove lutrastil, though "these parachutes - a bone in the throat". The untimely disclosure of the bushes in the spring can cause them to burn in the bright spring sun. At the same time, if you do not remove okuchku, roses can vypret. Experts advise in the first warm spring open roses, remove okuchku may spray the bushes with a weak solution of copper sulphate and again close the spruce branches or lutrastilom. If the grower uses the APU, it will be enough to open ends for ventilation or remove the waterproof cover part (in the case of Olga F. - a polyethylene).
