Due to the fact that it curls, fences and hedges are made with it. Decorating with buds of this type of wedding locations is widespread: altars, tents and columns in the hall.
Growing a flower
In order for a rose to grow and bloom faster, you need to more carefully select a planting site and soil.
Rose Caesar is planted mainly with the help of seedlings. Sometimes the procedure is carried out by layering and cuttings. Usually such methods are for breeding.
The best time to plant the Caesar rose is early spring. However, you can plant in the fall.
Seat selection
The growing area should be spacious and light. It is better to plant shrubs next to fences and buildings that would shelter it from cold through northern winds. Air circulation should be present, but in moderation.
How to prepare the soil and flower for planting
Before planting, you need to pick up healthy, uninfected seedlings. It is better to acquire them in special nurseries, and not from hands. The seedling is pre-soaked in water for 9 hours.
The soil must be well loosened and humus or compost, as well as river sand and peat soil, must be added to it. The planting hole is dug out more than the root system. The distance between each hole should be at least 2.5 m, as the shrub will grow strongly and curl.
Planting a seedling
Landing procedure
A mixture of phosphate fertilizer, peat and compost is placed at the bottom of each hole.A little earth is sprinkled on top and a seedling is placed. It is imperative to spread the roots of the bush well, then sprinkle with earth and tamp. At the end, pour abundantly with river or rainwater slightly cool water.
Plant care
Rose Cesar needs special care and constant attention. The harsher the climate, the more attentive the grower should be. On each shoot of a rose, 5-6 buds grow, and this is a big load. Therefore, it is necessary to create support structures.
Watering rules and humidity
The flower does not tolerate the high humidity of the soil and air. It is necessary to create moderate ventilation of the bush and do not water it abundantly, only when the top layer of the earth dries up.
Top dressing and soil quality
Caesar is fed with phosphate and potash fertilizers, nitrogen is introduced before flowering. Organic fertilizers need to be applied only 2 times a year: in the spring before flowering and in the fall before dormancy.
Shrub pruning
Pruning and replanting
The description of the pruning procedure does not differ from that for other types of climbing roses. The first time pruning is carried out after primroses to remove dead branches. The second is carried out in the fall, removing dried shoots, as well as shortening long and old branches.
The transplant is carried out with a strong growth and thickening of shrubs. In case of diseases, the bushes are also transplanted to save them from an illness, if this is the only option.
Features of wintering a flower
Before the onset of frost in the autumn, it is imperative to cover the bush for the winter. First, the props are removed, then the branches of the bush are carefully bent to the ground and carefully covered with spruce branches from above. Instead of spruce branches, you can use agrofibre. In latitudes where there is a lot of snow in winter, you need to create additional protection in the form of a small hut made of boards on top of a bush.
Blooming rose
Rose Cesar blooms profusely and brightly throughout the season, which is very similar to the English varieties. Buds constantly replace each other, new ones appear, and mature ones are usually cut off to decorate bouquets.
Bloom
A period of activity and rest
There are two waves of Caesar flowering, which depend on climatic conditions. Usually, the first wave begins at the end of May, and the second time the roses bloom profusely in August. The shrub is prepared for winter in late autumn before the onset of the first frost. In the spring, after the earth warms up, the rose begins its activity again.
Care during and after flowering
During the blooming of the buds, special attention is paid to the formation and garter of the bush. Due to the load on the branches, the bushes must be constantly tied up and fixed on supports. If the plant is mature, you need to pay attention to old and large branches. If they have few flowers, but a lot of leaves, the shoot is cut off.
After flowering, before wintering, pruning of rotten and dried shoots is also carried out. Fertilizing with organic and mineral fertilizers is mandatory.
What to do if it does not bloom
The rose may not bloom for the following reasons:
- abundant watering and stagnation of moisture in the soil;
- the appearance of diseases or pests;
- lack of fertilizer or excessive feeding;
- lack of watering;
- strong winds and poor climatic conditions.
Flower propagation
The climbing rose can be propagated in many ways: by seeds, cuttings, grafting and layering. At home, the propagation method is used with the help of cuttings and cuttings.
Propagated by cuttings at the end of summer, when the shoots are the strongest and strongest. It is better to propagate the bush by layering in the spring.
Cuttings are cut from the strongest and longest shoots. Each trim must have at least two internodes.Then remove the bottom 2-3 leaves from the cutting and stick it into the prepared substrate in a pot to a depth of about 1-2 cm. Water abundantly and place an inverted jar on top.
Diseases, pests and ways to control them
With proper care, Caesar practically does not get sick. The only thing that can disturb the flower is powdery mildew. It appears as a white powder on the leaves and shoots of the bush. If the disease is started, it will spread to the roots, and then the rose may die.
Powdery mildew
To combat powdery mildew, it is advisable to purchase special preparations. If this is not possible, there is an effective folk remedy - a solution of soda and liquid soap. A spoonful of soda and half a spoonful of soap must be diluted in a five-liter bucket and the bushes must be processed.
Growing Caesar flowers is not as laborious as it might seem. The main thing is to follow the rules and take preventive measures. Only then will the shrub delight with delicate pink-snow-white flowers all season.
