Winter-hardy roses for Siberia. Canadian roses for the Urals and Siberia

Rose is a very beautiful, but rather finicky flower. However, selection work does not stand still, and even in the harsh Siberian climate you can successfully grow beautiful floribunda roses.

It is not easy for a delicate and capricious rose to survive in the harsh climatic conditions of Siberia. And even varieties that have been zoned and adapted to cold weather need constant and considerable care.

Features of the climate of Siberia

In Siberia, spring comes late, summer does not last long, and the harsh winter drags on for almost six months. The seedlings that were grown in local Siberian nurseries are best adapted to such conditions. Some varietal roses grafted onto winter-hardy rose hips are also characterized by good survival rates.

Floribunda roses - what are they?

Floribunda is a hybrid of polyantha and hybrid tea roses, which combines best characteristics these plants. His main distinctive features– plentiful and practically continuous flowering, good winter hardiness and resistance to diseases and pests.

But still, with the onset of cold weather (usually in October), floribunda roses need to be covered. It is best to use an air-dry method of covering. You should also remember that in the spring it is important to remove the covering material in time: otherwise the plants will dry out.

So, what varieties of floribunda roses can be successfully grown in Siberia?

The best frost-resistant rose varieties for the Siberian climate

Not all plants can withstand the harsh Siberian climate. As the Siberians themselves joke: “In our area, weaklings cannot survive.” In winter, the air temperature can reach -50 degrees, and in summer +35. The sharply continental climate with late spring and short summer creates difficult conditions for gardeners. But nothing is impossible if you set a goal. There are roses that can withstand Siberian weather. These specially bred varieties are intended for northern gardeners. Let's take a closer look at them.

Which roses are the most unpretentious and winter-hardy?

When purchasing seedlings, priority should be given to plants grown in Siberian nurseries. Flower growers also distinguish Canadian varieties, which are also suitable for growing roses in northern conditions. But it’s not so easy to get them, and besides, you often come across deceivers who pass off ordinary seedlings as Canadians. A reliable, verified supplier will be able to guarantee the quality of the product, so you should not so unconditionally believe in advertisements promising to sell seedlings at incredible discounts.

As many years of observation have shown, grafted seedlings take root best in Siberia. Thanks to their high immunity, they practically do not freeze out in winter.

Amateur flower growers put this species in first place. A plant with large, dark pink flowers that fade at the ends. This rose blooms repeatedly in waves, the first time very profusely. In a more severe climate, the flower will be smaller than in the south of Siberia, where it can reach twelve centimeters in diameter. This climbing rose has very good immunity and is resistant to fungal diseases. Rosarium Vetersen has powerful stems reaching three meters in height. It is simply impossible to break them strong wind and even if the bookmark is incorrect winter period. The rose bush is placed in an arch, pergola or other structure.

Westerland German

This variety is very popular and loved by Siberians.

• The German rose has a large flower (10 cm in diameter) of apricot or orange color.
• This type of plant is the most unpretentious and does not require additional care, for which it received an ADR certificate.
• If you carefully and promptly remove fading flowers, then rose bush will begin to actively grow and form many new buds.

New Dawn

A soft pink and very fragrant rose. It blooms almost all season and never gets sick. New Dan is of American origin and translates to "New Dawn". But the Siberians gave it their name - “Very”. Thus, they characterized the capabilities of this type of rose: very fragrant, prickly and unpretentious. When purchasing, you should be careful, as there is another variety of this variety that blooms only once at the very beginning of summer.

William Sheakespeare 2000

This rose is of English origin and was bred by the famous breeder David Austin. William Shakespeare has beautiful fragrant purple-red flowers. The height of the stem is slightly more than one meter with many shoots. Thanks to his high immunity to fungal diseases and low maintenance requirements, William has become a real favorite among all gardeners in Siberia. When purchasing, you should carefully read the name of the variety; the fact is that there is still William Shakespeare without the number 2000. This ancestor of William Sheakespeare 2000 is not as frost-resistant as modern look, so it’s better for Siberians not to take it.

The last fifth place in the ranking of the best roses for Siberia is also occupied by a product of David Austin's selection, called Golden Celebration. No wonder this variety was called Golden Holiday. Large yellow buds with the scent of caramel and lemon really create a holiday feeling. The only disease that this plant cannot tolerate is black spot. Austin roses are the best varieties for the Moscow region - Princess Margaret and Alexandra Kent. All these varieties tolerate cold well, but this does not mean that the bushes can be left uncovered during the winter at a winter temperature of 35 degrees.

Chippendale

The top rose rating for the Moscow region is Chippendale. An unpretentious species, resistant to heat and cold, is ideally suited for cultivation in a continental climate. This rose has beautiful large (12 cm in diameter) orange flowers with a discreet, pleasant aroma. A cut stem with a flower can be stored in a vase for about two weeks.

Robusta

The frost-resistant Robusta variety is suitable for both flower growers in the Moscow region and Siberians. The peculiarity of this rose is that it is able to recover even after slight freezing. The choice of shades is quite large, which allows gardeners to create various color compositions on the site.

Rugelda

The frost-resistant rose Regelda has lemon-colored flowers and double petals with light red edges. Judging by the reviews of summer residents, this park variety is so frost-resistant that gardeners do not even cover it for the winter. Special care these roses will not require.

Hansaland

Perhaps the most unpretentious bush variety for the Moscow region this is Hinselland. Due to the fact that this rose lends itself well to shaping, Hansaland has become one of the favorite flowers of country designers. Lush buds of rich red color are perfect as decoration for garden plot. This plant has a height of about 1.5 meters, which makes it ideal for creating a hedge. As already mentioned, one of the ideal options for Siberian flower growers are Canadian varieties of roses.

Mackenzie

A tall rose bush reaching two meters with scentless pink or red flowers. This plant usually blooms all summer and quite profusely. Mackenzie is very frost-resistant and is perfect for the Siberian climate. It doesn't have to be closed in winter.

Morden Centennial

Centenary Morden's medium-sized bright pink flowers are collected in inflorescences. The bush of the plant is usually a little more than one meter, the aroma of the flower is not expressed. This variety can withstand frosts above -30 degrees, but if the bush is covered for the winter, the rose will bloom more abundantly in summer. Judging by the reviews of flower growers, this Canadian variety is equally loved by all residents of the northern regions of Russia.

Wasagaming

Externally, this variety resembles a small tree about two meters high. Wasagaming does not need shelter for the winter. The only thing Wasagaming doesn't like is excessive humidity. Flowers planted in coastal areas are often attacked gray rot. It is propagated using shoots.

The aroma of Prairie Joy is mild and does not irritate others. The variety is valued by summer residents of Siberia due to its frost resistance. It is lightly covered for the winter with branches or film, since the shelter helps to get more abundant flowering bush.

Adelaide Hoodless

This variety has advantages over others. It grows very quickly, and its flexible branches enable garden designers to create the most unimaginable solutions. Judging by the rave reviews, the unpretentious, frost-resistant variety with bright red flowers collected in inflorescences is very popular among flower growers in the Moscow region.

From my experience, we can judge that the elegant varieties of David Austin roses have a good wintering in Siberian conditions.

Varieties of Ostinok that winter safely in our garden: “Graham Thomas”, “Glamis Castle” (a charming and prickly plant - blooms continuously), “Tamora” (huge delicate flowers; winters in our country, although it is recommended for the southern regions), “William Sheckspeare 2000.”

How to properly plant, cover and propagate roses of Siberia

Shrub roses care and cultivation

• Boarding time. Taking into account the climatic characteristics of the region, it is best to plant winter-hardy roses starting in May, waiting until the earth warms up to ten degrees Celsius. Flower growers in Siberia even found a sign: as soon as dandelions bloom, rose seedlings can be planted. The deadline for planting is the fifteenth of June. Otherwise, the rose bush will not strengthen during the short Siberian summer and will freeze in winter.
• Soil for planting. For landing winter-hardy varieties roses will need acidic soil with a lot of humus, and loam can serve as a base. The best composition, for a rose the following: 1 part clay, 1 sand, 2 peat, 3 humus and 0.5 wood ash.
• Planting a seedling. The hole for planting must be at least 0.5 m. Before planting, the roots of pink seedlings are kept in a growth stimulator solution for three and a half hours. If the root is long, it is trimmed. In this way, the lateral roots will be stimulated. If these are tea or English varieties(William Shakespeare, for example), then the landing should be a little deeper than usual. The grafted area is deepened 8 cm to the surface of the earth. Thus, the bush becomes more resistant to wintering. It happens that a plant produces roots just above the grafting site and develops its weak root system. Such roots should be removed immediately.
• Watering and hilling. The root should be spread along its entire length. The hole is buried and watered. If desired, you can water the plant before burying. The planting site must be hilled up, otherwise the water can evaporate. If a rose is planted in a very cold region, then it is advised to cover it with lutrasil at night, this way the bushes will be protected from night frosts.

How to properly cover roses in Siberia

Resourceful flower growers have invented several ways to protect their pets from frost. Here are some of them:

• Roses can be covered with snow simply by throwing more snow on each bush. Fortunately, in Siberia the snow does not melt throughout the winter, but lies steadily, only being added from time to time.
• Using plastic arcs, a frame is made and leaves and soil are poured on top. The frame is reinforced from above using spunbond and film. The edges of the film must end on the ground so that they can be secured with a brick. Until the most severe frosts, the film is kept slightly open, otherwise the bush may be prohibited.
• Another option is to make a hut from polycarbonate. To do this, gardeners in Siberia take two pieces of polycarbonate and place them above the bush, fasten them with twine and put a film on top. As in the previous case, the film is kept slightly open until the most severe frosts.
• Small bushes can be hidden for the winter under plastic buckets. To do this, each rose is sprinkled with spruce branches and placed on top of buckets.

In unfavorable climate conditions, where the air temperature drops to 40-50 0 C below zero, it is difficult to grow any garden crop. Roses are no exception. Despite this, there are varieties of roses for the Urals that feel good in such difficult climatic zones.

The best option, of course, is to buy seedlings from local breeders. Nurseries of Ural roses offer excellent varieties that can withstand severe frosts and fluctuations in air temperature. The best varieties roses for the Urals go through all stages of hardening by the local climate and are able to withstand its vagaries and harsh conditions. What roses are the best for such regions? What do summer residents and gardeners advise? What do the experts' reviews say?

Undoubtedly, Canadian roses are considered one of the most frost-resistant varieties of roses for the Urals. They occupy leading positions in the Urals and Siberia. All breeders note their unpretentiousness and high cold resistance. Such properties are combined with the beauty of shapes and aromas. Summer residents advise when choosing a specific variety to pay attention to the manufacturer, since Lately There are many low-quality products on the market.

It should be noted that gardeners recommend purchasing several seedlings different types to choose the best rose option for the Urals and Siberia. The catalog of varieties contains relatively many frost-resistant species this plant. Choosing the best of them is the task of every gardener, summer resident or hobbyist.

The best varieties of roses for the Urals with photos:

• John Cabot (John Cabot). Very beautiful plant, which has bright pink flowers with a slight shine. A characteristic feature is flexible shoots. It blooms twice a year, the gap between waves is almost not noticeable, although some summer residents, nevertheless, note a slight delay in the second flowering.
• Henry Kelsey (Henry Kelsey). This is one of the best options for the best varieties of roses for the Urals and Siberia. Beautiful, fragrant scarlet-red flowers delight the eye with abundant blooms and large clusters. Henry Kelsey blooms in two waves.

• Rosarium Uetersen (Rosarium Western). It has one of the most powerful stem systems. Shoots can reach 3 meters in length. Dark pink flowers reach 8-12 cm in diameter. A notable property, in addition to frost resistance, is persistent immunity to most diseases. From these flowers they form very beautiful bouquets. They are often grown for sale.

Their aroma is very intoxicating, reminiscent of the taste of caramel.

Thanks to such diversity, even whimsical summer residents will be able to choose the queen of flowers for their flowerbed, which will meet all the requirements.

There are many vines in the world: both flowering and decorative deciduous. Moreover, they not only decorate the designated fence, but also serve as a living screen. Creepers help decorate an unsightly fence, old mesh or outbuilding. Calistegia terry is just such a “helper” for domestic flower growers: it is unpretentious, looks beautiful all season, and long flowering ends only after frost.

Siberian - theirs popular name. It seems to me that this nickname suits them completely: the inflorescences really look like blooming roses, but not so dense, but more fluffy. Calistegia It is also unique in that it blooms already in the first year after planting, and how it blooms: a flower is necessarily formed in each axil of green leaves. Somewhere from mid-July, the vine is completely covered with soft pink, shiny flowers, which do not stop blooming until late autumn. If you look at it from afar, it looks like someone has pasted a lot of small roses among the foliage. People often confuse it with climbing roses and even clematis - just in our gardens calistegia terry practically never occurs. Extremely difficult to find in stores planting material, which is another obstacle to a person’s acquaintance with this rose.

Calistegia. Growing

Do not be afraid to plant this vine; it is not capricious and grows well in almost any conditions. And if you take a little care of the “Siberian rose”, you will end up with a fast-growing, branched bindweed that will master any support, wall, chain-link fence or stone partitions! So, what does a plant need for a carefree life in our garden?

Planting site and soil. The time of the beginning of flowering depends on the choice of location: in a sunny area, the Siberian rose will show itself in all its glory in mid-July; in the shade it will bloom, but, as you understand, the effect will be somewhat worse, and besides, flowering will occur two weeks later.

Any soil will do, but it is better to prepare moderately nutritious, light soil in advance. In such conditions, calistegia will grow for at least ten years. I think it’s okay to try for such a beautiful vine just once?

Watering and fertilizing. Flowering takes a lot of effort, so make it a rule to regularly apply organic and mineral fertilizers (alternately). Watering is moderate; usually the vines have enough natural precipitation.

Transfer. Calistegia does not respond well to summer replanting - at this time it is already actively growing green mass and may die. But the autumn transplant is just right for her. The Siberian rose is very convenient because it can grow in one place for 10, 20, and even 30 years. However, before landing, carefully select a place, because the aggressor is still in front of you! Out of inexperience, I placed her in the front garden, so she soon swept up roses, lilies and other flowers. She climbs any elevation, and no ties or directions will save her - she will reach for the sun and overcome everything in her path. If you decide to seclude the vine in some far corner, dig up every single root, be careful: even a small part of such remains will add a lot of trouble in the coming spring.

Reproduction. Calistegia produces many root shoots. In spring they are visible along the perimeter of the mother bush: carefully dig them up and plant them in the right place, be sure to water them. There are no special recommendations regarding the timing of the reproduction of calistegia; you can dig in the children both in spring and autumn. It’s just that it’s better to cover and mulch the sprouts planted before winter.

Wintering. The Siberian rose overwinters well; after the first frost, prune the entire bush. You don’t even have to cover it: in my experience there was no freezing or getting wet.

Calistegia care. About once every 7-10 days you will have to pick up scissors and cut off all the dried flowers. It is very good at the moment of flowering, but old buds significantly spoil the appearance of the vine. It is also important to remove weak young shoots in the spring and periodically thin out the bush.

Some difficulties and pests

Despite its many advantages, there are two difficulties in growing this beautiful liana. First, and most important: the unbridled growth of the rhizome. If it is allowed to grow on its own, it will turn from a desirable vine into a raging weed that is difficult to control. Therefore, I recommend that you immediately determine clear boundaries that will restrain the rhizome from growing. In this case, I usually bury old buckets without a bottom in the hole or make a perimeter of slate, metal, or other durable base. Work hard once, but then you’ll have problems with aggressiveness Siberian rose will not arise again!

The second problem when growing flowering ones is the influx of slugs and snails. For some reason, they really love double calistegia, they crawl and feast on both leaves and flowers. Last summer there were a lot of them, a whole invasion. And this despite the fact that this plant is classified as poisonous plants. It seems that pests only like such toxicity. Pest control involves periodically treating bushes with pesticides. I don't know, maybe it's just me who has these problems?

Despite the difficulties described above and the periodic “dances with a tambourine” around calistegia, my plans do not include getting rid of it. First of all, this is a beautiful vine that perfectly decorates the not entirely attractive vertical supports. And when she opens soft pink buds, the spectacle (to the envy of her neighbors;)) is most magnificent!

The queen of gardens and parks, the rose, has long been and deservedly loved by flower growers around the world. This flower also decorates Russian landscapes. Its climbing species are ideal for vertical gardening. Is it possible to grow beautiful and healthy roses in Siberia? Planting and care (photos and tips are presented in the article), carried out correctly, as well as recommendations for combating diseases will help you cope with this task.

The choice of variety must be conscious

Before you start breeding roses, you should get acquainted with the varieties. Don't rush into purchasing. After all, you can purchase seedlings via the Internet, and this greatly expands the range and makes it possible to make a good choice. Study the varieties, chat with rose growers on forums, read relevant blogs. Through live communication with flower growers, you can learn a lot of valuable information. Beginners don’t even always know what requirements plants must meet.

Often, in photographs in store catalogs, only the flower is visible. Its smell, the shape of the bush, capriciousness in care or unpretentiousness - all this is very important. How long does the flowering last, how friendly is it, do the flowers fade, what do they look like after flowering? Such information is not always available from the seller.

If the photo shows a single flower, but does not show the entire bush, this may mean that the plant does not bloom profusely or the bush is not able to boast a decorative form.

Amateur gardeners who are just starting to master this plant always have many questions at first, for example: “Is it possible to grow roses in Siberia in open ground?” It's certainly possible. And this is not at all as difficult as it might seem at first glance. The territory is huge, but severe frosts occur everywhere.

Difficulties in growing roses in harsh climates

Beginners can be advised to pay attention to cold-resistant varieties. But growing roses in Siberia in a greenhouse is possible even in the most northern regions.

In order for the undertaking to be crowned with success, and for the noble plant to bestow lush flowering, you need to know and follow some rules. If you master them, and they are not at all difficult, then planting roses in Siberia will not disappoint, and perhaps even become a favorite hobby. The start and end dates of gardening work are related to the ambient temperature and the degree of warming of the earth. Since in last years the climate is unstable, this adds new questions about caring for a delicate flower.

For the most part, they all agree on determining the timing of planting, taking care of a safe wintering, proper fertilizer to ensure long and abundant flowering, and in the fight against diseases. As for varieties such as Rambler or Clymer, which are fairly common, unpretentious climbing roses that are well mastered by gardeners, planting and caring for these species in Siberia is not difficult. However, their cultivation is accompanied by other pleasant concerns, such as arranging them in the landscape.

Where to plant

They are photophilous. Planting roses in Siberia in the fall should be carried out taking this feature into account. By the way, it has been noticed that if the bushes are provided proper care- watering, fertilizing, etc., then they feel great and bloom even in partial shade.

If you want to decorate the wall of your house with plants, then roses are not the best choice. suitable choice. There is a high risk of unwanted temperature changes near your home. On the one hand - the cold air of the street, on the other - warm wall Houses. Snow melting or drifts and icing during thaw periods are likely. Such contrasts are detrimental to delicate plants. Even good lighting on the southern wall may not save the situation. You shouldn't plant roses near walls at all. A well-lit place with partial shade in the center or on the outskirts of the site will be more comfortable for them. If you really want to decorate your house, then plant bushes at a distance of at least a meter from the southern wall.

Soil preparation

Dig a hole approximately 40x40x40 cm, place it on the bottom. Roses are very sensitive to the quality of the soil. If it is clay, fluff it up by adding sand, wood ash, humus, a little peat and leaf soil. If the soil is mostly sandy, then manure, humus and leaf soil. These components will make it quite nutritious and moderately heavier.

Planting roses in Siberia is not a tricky business, and if you have a plant grown not on a rootstock, but with its own roots, then you don’t have to worry that in the spring, instead of a cultivated variety, you will have a well-wintered wild rose bush on your plot. Try to choose your own root varieties, and root collar in any case, deepen it by at least 5 cm. Deepening it further is also not recommended, since the rose will send out new roots from the grafting site, and it will grow much weaker on the roots of the scion.

Half or a third of the prepared soil mixture should be placed at the bottom of the hole, under the roots. Then you should thoroughly moisten the substrate by pouring water into the hole. Before planting, powder the roots with ash and place them carefully and evenly in the hole. Pour the remaining soil onto the roots from above, trying to compact them well so that there are no large voids left between them. Water thoroughly again.

How to save seedlings?

Autumn is more suitable for planting and replanting adult roses. Planting and care in Siberia in spring - best time for plants obtained from cuttings, as well as for roses sent by mail and overwintered in a cold room at home.

Start off gardening work you can immediately after the snow melts, when the shovel easily goes into the ground. This usually happens in April. Old bushes can be replanted in the spring, but this is less advisable than in the fall - prolonged adaptation to a new place can negatively affect flowering, and you will think that the bush has degenerated or the place has been chosen inappropriately. But cuttings in the spring always work out perfectly. Prepare branches in the fall. Cut long shoots, bring them home and disinfect them in a weak solution. Store them in the basement in a box with sand. If you don’t have a basement, put it in the refrigerator, in the fresh vegetable compartment. To prevent the shoots from drying out, wrap them in a damp cloth and then in plastic. In spring they will be fresh and green.

Propagation by cuttings

In April, when the snow melts, remove the thin upper parts of the shoots, cut the branches into 10-15 cm cuttings with buds on each, soak for a day in water with potassium permanganate and you can plant. To get a guaranteed result, use Kornevin.

To prevent spring frosts from destroying the plants, plant them in a sunny, wind-protected place with loose soil. Cover each cutting. plastic bottle: cut off the bottom and top part with a lid, use as a mini-greenhouse. Make sure the soil is constantly moist. After a month, you can begin to ventilate the greenhouse bottles by briefly removing the lids. By doing this you will gradually accustom the plants to the natural atmosphere. Do this very carefully. For the formation of roots, warmth, constant temperature, high humidity and lack of movement. Having become accustomed to such conditions and finding ourselves in fresh air, a pampered plant may not be able to cope with complex adaptation and die.

It is believed that the appearance of the first leaves indicates that rooting has taken place. Don't rush to rejoice. You can remove the bottles completely only after a couple of months. In addition, all this year you will have to carefully take care of young plants - shade them from the scorching sun, fertilize them, prevent the soil from drying out or stagnant water, and protect them from freezing.

Are there any winter-hardy ones? Planting and caring for many varieties of ramblers and climbing plants in Siberia does not cause any particular difficulties, since they are characterized as unpretentious and winter-hardy. If you are a beginner, then choose a native root variety grown at a local nursery.

Ramblers

It must be said that growing roses in Siberia from cuttings works best with ramblers. The varieties that have proven themselves most well in harsh climates are Dorothy Perkins, Bobby James and Excelsa. Cuttings can be practiced throughout the summer. For cuttings, branches are collected from the third quarter of the lash - the one closer to the end. Sticks are cut to the size of a pencil. Rooting in a greenhouse occurs within a month.

Ramblers are very convenient plants for decorating small areas. Their lashes grow up to five meters, they are very flexible and plastic. They are twisted around the support clockwise, trying to ensure that the branch lies horizontally. This technique stimulates the growth of new flowering shoots of the rose. Planting and caring for the Rambler variety in Siberia is suitable for beginner gardeners. Its flowers are small, double, collected in lush inflorescences, which very densely cover the entire bush. The flowering, although one-time, is very abundant, lasting almost a whole month. To make flowers decorate your garden longer, stop fertilizing at the beginning of flowering and keep the soil under the bush moist.

Variety with fragrant flowers

Many gardeners value musk roses very much. Planting and caring for this variety in Siberia will be successful if you choose a place for them with loose neutral soil, well protected from cold winds and sufficiently lit. Traditional musk roses exude a strong amber scent. It comes not from the petals, as is the case with other varieties, but from the stamens, so even withered flowers continue to smell fragrant. However, they do not always have such a strong aroma. Many hybrids are more decorative than older varieties, but are odorless. They produce flexible lashes up to 2.5 meters long. This allows you to use them to decorate gazebos and arches. The best varieties are “Mozart” and “ballerina”.

Miniature climbing rose

Another charming example of climbing roses is the pirouette variety. Since its branches do not grow more than one and a half meters, it is often planted as a shrub - a single bush. Small flowers of a slightly apricot hue are collected in brushes. They open very amicably and so abundantly that you can’t see the foliage behind them. Flowering is long lasting. The aroma is delicate, pleasant, sweet, although weak. “Pirouette” practically does not suffer from powdery mildew and black spot, which often plague roses. Planting and caring for this variety in Siberia is also convenient because it is cold-resistant. A little cover, however, is still necessary.

Climbers

These are, one might say, monumental climbing roses. Planting and caring for this variety in Siberia can be complicated by difficulties with shelter. Compared to ramblers, whose lashes reach five meters in length, climbers are just tiny. Their shoots do not outgrow the 2-meter mark. However, they are very thick and do not bend as easily as miniature ramblers. It is very difficult to twist such a shoot around a pillar or arch. If you send a branch vertically upward, it will bloom only at the upper end. Flowers are formed very abundantly if the branch is located horizontally. In the flower garden they are fanned out on fences and trellises. This stimulates the growth of new flowering shoots. If you want your roses to bloom as long as possible, then stop fertilizing once the buds are set, and water them daily in dry weather. And the climbers bloom luxuriously! Large fragrant flowers adorn the bush for almost a whole month, and for remontant flowers - twice a season. The best varieties are “Elf”, “Rosanna”, “Pink Cloud” and “Pierre de Ronsard”.

Shelter for the winter

How to preserve roses in Siberia in winter? Planting and care, watering and weeding, fertilizing and pest control - everything that you did in spring, summer and autumn may be in vain, and next year you will have to start all over again, including the search for a good reliable bush if your bush is damaged freezing.

Cover roses after the first frost, on a dry day. This is important because covering wet bushes will create an unfavorable microclimate and the development of fungal infections. The shoots are removed from the supports and carefully laid out on the ground. If you bend down the thick branches of the climber, use a fork to dig up the ground. This will make it easier to roll up the bush. There is no need to spread it very low on the ground. Let it rise a little. Your goal is to dress the plants in a fur coat. Non-woven materials such as lutrasil have proven themselves very well in harsh winter conditions. Take the thickest one and fold it in several layers. The bushes should be covered with a continuous blanket, and not with separate fragments. Press along the perimeter with bricks.

Opening

Where does growing of roses begin in Siberia? Spring is the time when they buy new bushes and open old ones. The cover should be removed in several stages. First they ventilate, then open it slightly, increasing the time, and finally remove it completely. This is done in order to accustom the flowers to new conditions. Having removed the covering material, inspect the lashes and cut off damaged or dead ones to healthy tissue. At this time, it is very convenient to loosen the soil around the rose and select the roots of the weeds.

Fertilizers

Do they require any special ones in Siberia? Planting and care in this region is somewhat more labor intensive than in Europe, but this is only due to protection from freezing in winter. Otherwise everything is the same. In spring plants need a large number of nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus. Roses are very dependent on the microbiological composition of the soil and are sensitive to the lack of one or another element. As for acidity, slightly acidic (pH 5.6) will be just right for them. From mid-July, nitrogen fertilizing, which enhances shoot growth, should be stopped. Otherwise, by winter there will be many young, fragile shoots on the bushes that will not withstand the difficult winter - the affected tissues of the young shoots will become a breeding ground for infections, which can provoke the death of the entire plant.

If it is possible to feed the rose with manure, then do it in the spring, and it will repay you with excellent growth and flowering. Rotted manure and mullein - best fertilizers for roses Manure is a supplier of nitrogen, and the necessary potassium and phosphorus are found in wood ash. In addition, for correct height and plant development needs calcium, magnesium, iron, boron, manganese and copper. Therefore, do not neglect complex mineral fertilizers.

Diseases and pests

It's time to find out what ails roses. Planting and caring for these delicate plants in Siberia is not very difficult, but the harsh climate weakens the immune properties of roses, and they can begin to get sick. The most common diseases of climbing roses are black spot and powdery mildew.

Black spot

This problem is not as terrible as it seems, although it greatly spoils the appearance of the bushes. Occurs most often in the second half of summer. The leaves become covered with black spots, then turn yellow and fall off. It starts from the bottom of the bush and gradually rises up. In severe cases, it leads to complete loss of all foliage. At the onset of the disease, it is enough to tear off the affected leaves and burn them, and spray the bush with a weak solution of mullein (for one part of mullein - 20 parts of water). Two or three procedures are enough. If you cannot find mullein, buy medications containing penconazole, triazole or mancozeb from the store. It could be “Topaz”, “Profit”, “Skor” or “Ridomil Gold”.

Powdery mildew

The disease most often affects roses growing in a greenhouse. In climbing roses it occurs as a result of damping off as a result of too much abundant watering in cool weather. Affects young parts. They are covered with a white powdery coating. Spraying the bushes with an infusion of wood ash is very effective in this case. First you need to remove the affected leaves, buds and shoots, cutting them back to healthy tissue. All this must be burned so that the pathogenic microflora does not resume activity. Cleaned bushes should be sprayed with a solution of ash, and after two hours, rinse it off with clean water. In case of severe damage, drugs containing triazole are used - “Skor” and “Topaz”.

The Siberian expanses belong to the zone of risky agriculture, and not every Siberian gardener decides to start a rose garden on his plot. However, growing roses is possible even in harsh climates. About how to choose suitable variety climbing roses for growing in Siberia, will be discussed in the article.

Climatic conditions of Siberia and growing roses

Siberia is a vast territory, including several climatic zones. But the only zone where growing roses in open ground is impossible is the northern regions, located in the subarctic zone. Other areas allow this possibility, although they have their own characteristics:

• Western Siberia. Extends from the Ural Mountains to the Yenisei. The climate is temperate continental. In summer, winds blowing from the north and east dominate here, and the influence of Arctic cyclones is often felt. The average temperature in the summer months is about +20 0 C. In winter, southern and southwestern winds prevail, bringing clear frosty weather. The air temperature can drop below -35 0 C. The snow cover is abundant and stable (Read also article ⇒).
• Eastern Siberia. The territory includes Trans-Baikal, Krasnoyarsk territories, Buryatia, Irkutsk region, the Republic of Tuva and Yakutia. The climate is harsh, sharply continental. Winter temperatures fluctuate from -18 to -50 0 C. In summer, the average is +17 0 C.
• Southern Siberia. Includes regions adjacent to the mountain ranges of Asia. Climatic conditions are characterized by contrast. Summer here is short, but warm and even hot, winter is frosty, with heavy snowfalls.

Thus, the conditions for growing roses in Siberia vary depending on the specific region. In addition, the wide variety of soils in this area must be taken into account. Here they can be swampy, frozen-taiga, soddy, soddy-podzolic. In a number of regions there are chernozems and meadow-chernozem soils, which are most favorable for growing roses.

Tip #1. Due to the wide variety of climatic and soil conditions in Siberia, recommendations for varieties of climbing roses are general and rather conditional. When buying a seedling, you need to focus more on your own plot.

Requirements for climbing roses for growing in Siberia

In order for a rose to form a climbing form, it is necessary that its shoots are well preserved in winter along their entire length. This is the main difficulty in growing roses in Siberia. In addition to high frost resistance, varieties of Siberian climbing roses must have the following characteristics:

• ability to quickly grow shoots and restore vegetative mass;
• good immunity to fungal diseases;
• early flowering;
• the ability of a flower to withstand negative weather conditions (rain and wind).

It is very important that the seedling is grafted onto a frost-resistant rootstock. Growing your own roses in Siberia is not recommended.

Tip #2. The experience of Siberian rose growers shows that in this region it is better to purchase seedlings from local nurseries. As a rule, the roses in them are grafted onto local rootstocks, which makes the plants better adapted to the soil and climatic conditions of the area.

Review of varieties of climbing roses for growing in Siberia

Rose varieties of Canadian selection meet the above requirements to a greater extent, since Canadian conditions are similar to Siberian ones. The main efforts of breeders in developing these varieties were aimed precisely at increasing the endurance of plants without loss of decorativeness.

The following varieties of climbing roses can be considered suitable for the Siberian climate:

Variety name	Characteristic	Advantages and disadvantages

Minuses: · short life span of each flower.

All listed varieties of roses are recommended forIV zonesUSDA, except for the new Felix Leclerc, which can grow without shelter even inIII zone. The growth energy of these climbing roses varies depending on the air temperature. In warm summers they give very good growth, but in cool summers they can “slow down”. However, these varieties are capable of demonstrating very high decorative value in Siberian conditions.

Reviews from rose growers about climbing roses in Siberia

Rose growers in Siberia, not spoiled by an unlimited assortment of varieties, treat every established plant with great love. Their reviews of the listed varieties are mostly positive:

“The four J.P. Connell bushes from the 2012 planting are alive and relatively healthy. The first flowering is powerful! In June they are almost completely covered with flowers, like a blanket. The second wave is weak - individual flowers on the tops. Each flower is beautiful both in half-bloom and in full. The flowers last a short time, only a couple of days, so you have to cut off the faded ones every day. There are no thorns, the bushes are easy to care for. In damp summers they catch black spot.”(Nina, Krasnoyarsk).

“My opinion about Quadra is purely positive. The bush is tall, I didn’t measure it with a tape measure, but I tied it up while standing on a stepladder. The flowering is showery and magnificent. The brushes are heavy and huge, but each individual flower is very beautiful - up to 11 cm, lasts a long time, does not fade at all and does not lose shape even when flowering. Flowering is almost continuous. my

Quadra is already 5 years old, but has never been ill with anything. Care is easy, I only do sanitary pruning. I feed it well, and in August I definitely give it potassium so that it winters well. For the winter I leave it in a vertical position, simply covering it with two layers of thick spunbond. There were no problems with wintering"(Tatiana, Yekaterinburg).

“John Davis is growing slowly but diligently in my Tomsk region. It’s noticeable that it doesn’t get enough sun, but it doesn’t freeze in winter. For the winter I send it under a purely symbolic film shelter and throw a good snowdrift on top. Winters well, doesn’t get sick"(Svetlana, Tomsk).

“John Cabot is a wonderful, very abundant rose. It overwinters with me without shelter, under hillocks and snow. Frost -27 0 C is easily tolerated. In 5 years I have never been sick. The downside is that the flowers are not very expressive. But overall they look good."(Olga, Biysk).

The main purpose of climbing roses is vertical gardening. In this regard, the issue of correct garter lashes is relevant. David Gerald Hession, a world-renowned botanist, recommends doing it this way in his book All About Roses:

“The main shoots of climbing roses are directed along the support. Young stems should be tied to the fence with wire wrapped in plastic, rather than wrapped around the wire from which the fence is made. It should be tied loosely so that the stems do not get damaged as they grow in thickness.”
