Rose Lavinia (Lawinia) - description of a popular flower
Content:
Rose Lawinia is the perfect addition to the florist's collection. Its advantage is that even a beginner is able to grow a flower from seed. Many inexperienced flower lovers name the Avalanche rose variety, but this pronunciation is not correct. It is correct to say rose Lavinia. It is about this variety of climbing roses that will be discussed further.
Rose Lavinia (Lavinia, Lawinia, TANklewi)
Climbing rose Lavinia is the result of crossing several hybrid plants. The experiment was carried out in the 1990s by German scientists, but already at the beginning of the 2000s, the variety became widespread in Russia.

Rose Lavinia is a bright pure shade and 5 alternately arranged petals, four of which are in pairs and one is located in the middle of the bud. The deep green shade of the leaves stands out perfectly against the background of the rosebud. The flowers themselves are very dense, there are small teeth around the perimeter.
Among the positive characteristics of the plant, they note its ability to bloom again, as well as a high probability of growing a flower from a seed. Also, the flower is famous for the abundance of buds, which looks very beautiful during flowering.
Among the negative characteristics, it is noted that the climbing rose reaches up to 3 meters in height, which creates certain problems. To fix this, you need to install special nets and pegs to fix the plant.

The most ineffective is the use of roses in composition with asters, physostegias and plants, which cover a large area of distribution in a short time. Against their background, the rose bush loses its individuality. It is permissible to experiment with other colors that are not included in the above-mentioned group, creating a landscape design.
Rose Lavinia goes well with thuja. With these two components, you can easily build a hedge.
Growing a flower
Planting is carried out in the spring. Late May-early June is ideal, but no later than 10 numbers.
Rose Avalanche is an undemanding plant, so gardeners place it differently. It is important to monitor the condition of the soil and pay attention to the "neighbors" of the plant, as certain flowers can oxidize the soil, which negatively affects the condition of the rose bush.
Soil for Lavinia can be purchased in specialty stores, but it is better to take some compost, humus, sand and loosen the soil with them.
Planting procedure step by step
The recommended planting time is spring-summer, but the purchased adult rose from the container can be planted even in the middle of summer.
General regulations for planting a flower:
- In the prepared soil, you need to make a hole about 60 cm deep. Put sand and peat at the bottom.
- Then some nutrients: humus, compost.
- Check the roots and remove those that are starting to rot (use a sharp pruner).
- Gently place the rose, straighten the roots.
- At the shoot, you need to shorten the lower leaves so that they do not interfere.
- Cover the future bush with earth.
Plant care
Rose Lavinia is not the most whimsical plant. To grow a healthy shrub, you need to keep the flower around it clean and nourish it regularly.
- Watering rules and humidity
Rose loves water, but in moderation. Do not water it often - no more than 1 time per week, otherwise the water will stagnate and provoke rotting of the roots.
- Top dressing and soil quality
It is not recommended to feed the plant in the first year. It is better to start the application of nitrogen fertilizers in the second year, when the leaves appear on the plant. Then you can practice organic blends.
During the period of strong flowering, phosphorus and potassium are needed. Mineral complexes that are sold in gardening stores are quite suitable.
- Pruning and replanting
The plant is transplanted in the autumn (until early October). It is recommended to leave an old earthen lump when transplanting.
Pruning the plant in order to remove dried parts of the flower is carried out using a sharp object at a slight angle. It is also recommended to prune the rose before winter so that it receives more substances during the dormant period. Removal of wild shoots is done manually.
- Features of wintering a flower
With the first frost, it is necessary to protect the rose from the cold. To do this, remove it from the supports and put it on the ground or bedding, securing it so that it does not rise. After that, spruce branches are applied on top.
Blooming rose
The flowering of Lavinia is a beautiful picture that opens before the eyes of every gardener. But it is necessary to take into account some of the nuances that affect the plant.
During flowering, the plant develops small bright pink buds ranging in size from 7 to 9 cm in width. The period of activity runs from late spring to early October.
What if it doesn't bloom? The most common cause is pests. In this case, you need to get rid of them as soon as possible. There is also the possibility that the plant is unhealthy or in uncomfortable conditions. If the area is large, it is better to get rid of the flower so that it does not infect others.

During spring breeding, you need to take seriously the selection of cuttings. These should be strong and healthy shoots. The soil for the cutting is taken as standard. Before landing, you can immerse it in Kornevin for 5-10 minutes. Watering is carried out in the usual way.
It is not that difficult to propagate the plant in the fall. You need to take a stalk up to 15 cm long from a healthy lash. In a plastic bottle, you need to make several holes in advance, add a layer of expanded clay there, then peat, sand and earth. All layers should be well saturated with liquid. The stalk is placed there and covered with a plastic bottle. You can plant it next spring.
Diseases, pests and ways to control them
The most common pests are spider mites, aphids and thrips. They can be removed either by hand or using a soapy solution.
