Park roses love spacious plantings, as they grow not only in height, but also in width. In France and England, plants do not need shelter, but in Russia, most varieties of park roses wait out closed during the cold season. In the middle lane, only species-specific roses close to wild can be left open, for example, gray and wrinkled rose, as well as species close to rose hips, but having double flowers.
Park roses are more unpretentious if bred in Canada... Such varieties are frost-resistant and do not need shelter, provided that the site:
- located in a relatively calm area,
- does not have high ground waters,
- gets sunshine,
- is processed correctly.
However, when sheltered, Canadians provide more abundant flowering.
Varieties of French, English, German selection of park roses require bending and shelter, among them are old and modern spray roses.
Classification
Park roses are divided into two groups:
- With a single flowering.
- Repeated.
Park roses that bloom once to form buds require saving last year's shoots... If this is not done, they will not bloom. However, these varieties are resistant to cold conditions and often require no bending or cover. Such bushes can be found in the old cottages of every neighbor. Shoots of varieties "Poppius", "Wasagaming", "Minette" are often passed from hand to hand without a name. Other frost-resistant old varieties are presented more modestly and practically have no data.
Group of re-blooming is divided into three subgroups:
- Very frost-resistant rugoses (rose hybrids).
- Canadian roses resistant to cold environmental conditions. They are able to endure cold Russian winters without shelter, if conditions permit.
- In need of cover and ducking.
Rohoses are presented in many varieties. Most are similar to each other, some varieties require shelter. An unpretentious view is "Moje Hammarberg", which endures the winter and easily adapts to environmental conditions.
A large group of park roses is represented by Canadian selection. The best are Prairie Joy and Morden Centennial.

Care: tips
For roses to please their appearance, you should know some of the nuances:
Park roses are planted with additional space for shelter in the cold season, as well as so that there is an opportunity to approach them.- Do not plant strong-smelling plants next to the rose bush so as not to interrupt their subtle scent.
- Climbing roses usually bloom from the side, so to ensure abundant flowering, which begins at the very bottom of the shoot, the main stems should be placed in a horizontal position.
- If shoots are formed without setting flowers, then you should know the sources of the problem in order to take the necessary measures. Certain varieties may be the reasons. These shoots are laid on the ground and pinned, which stimulates the formation of buds. The second reason may be poor care without the necessary nutrition, feeding and improper placement, when there is a lack of sun. Also, the culprits can be pests that suck the juice from young shoots, which negatively affects the setting of buds. If there are no flower buds, the shoot is pruned a little, which becomes an incentive for their formation.
- As a prophylaxis against pests, use a decoction of field horsetail or an infusion of nettle, which help to strengthen tissues, which affects the plant's resistance to pests. Rose petals usually love thrips; spraying with chamomile-based pharmaceutical and cold water will relieve them.
- Ground cover and miniature varieties of roses adapt well to the cold climate of Russia.
- To prepare the shoots for winter and better endure frost, do not prune from August.
- Hillow the rose before the onset of cold weather to a height of 20 cm and cut off all young shoots. Wrap with lutrasil to protect from sudden frost, in spring it will protect against burns. A lapnik is covered after the onset of a stable cold snap to -8 degrees.
- If the shoot is vigorous and does not want to bend, you need to undermine the plant from the right side and carefully set the direction, then gently tilt it.
- If the temperature is above 8 degrees with a minus sign, then an outlet should be made in the shelter. This is necessary to prevent the development of mold.
- Park roses love when they are fertilized with an infusion of ash, which is cooked for 4 hours. Before watering, the ground around the bush is loosened.
Beautiful park roses will delight you with abundant flowering for a long time, if you provide competent care, find a sunny place with breathable soil.
