David Austin roses - a long way to the success of your favorite business

The history of this type of rose is very interesting. It should be noted that the person gave all his strength and knowledge for the benefit of the emergence unique colors. The beginning of the difficult journey of breeding the first ostinas began in England in the 50s of the 20th century. When a young amateur flower grower named David Austin returned from a trip to Europe, he wanted to create original varieties of roses, which in the future would be positioned as David Austin's English roses. The encyclopedia of roses will be replenished with new varieties, and they will enjoy great success.

He was literally captivated by the beauty of these flowers, but the fact that most of the varieties he saw bloomed only once per season and not for long upset him a little. Then David decided to combine all the advantageous qualities and discard the disadvantages. And he devoted his whole life to this.

In practical research, Austin used existing varieties, which were not particularly popular. The basis was hybrid tea, floribunda, damask and French. As a result of crossing hybrid tea, large-flowered, repeat-blooming varieties, and old, exquisite, stable and unpretentious single-blooming varieties, David Austin managed to develop an original rose, which was called Constance Spry. It was she who began the long journey of the English breeder.

Constance Spry is about half a century old, but is still quite popular to this day. It became the basis for future new varieties of David Austin roses (see photo). Constance Spry was first introduced to a wide circle of people by a friend of the English breeder, Graham Thomas, in 1961. It can be classified as a bush, although a beautiful bush can be formed if the shoots are carefully pruned. In this case, you will get an excellent garden bush, up to 2 m high. A characteristic feature Most varieties of D. Austin roses have fragrant, large flowers. Similarly, with Constance Spry, their diameter can reach 15 cm. The buds are collected in neat brushes. Their shape is cup-shaped. The flowers themselves seem to be not fully open. They bloom on stems that can reach 6 m in length. The foliage of these flowers is light green with a matte tint. The shoots have prickly thorns. It blooms only once in July. This quality did not suit the grower. In addition, the variety required careful protection from diseases and pests.

The work continued. He was looking for new approaches. Only after the third backcrossing of the main variety with the hybrid, almost all varieties (seedlings) of Austin roses inherited the flowering time.

The English breeder was also concerned about the problem of the endurance of new plants. During the 60s it was not possible to create decent resistant varieties. In the early 70s, David was able to develop disease-resistant roses. The very first variety endowed with such qualities is The Mayflower. This is a versatile variety of Austin roses that many gardeners have been wanting to buy. Over the years of cultivation, no signs of a single disease were observed on the foliage of this plant. In this regard, The Mayflower was awarded a royal award, namely, a quality mark from the British Royal Horticultural Society.

In addition to The Mayflower, other varieties of Austin English roses received the same award:

• Floribunda presented gorgeous clusters of several flowers and repeating blooms.

English roses are distinguished by a variety of flower shapes with a large number of petals in buds, due to which the flowers look unusually impressive.

Rich aroma of English roses can be divided into several groups, but most varieties of ostina can be classified into several groups at once due to the unique aromatic bouquet that combines different notes.

The best varieties of David Austin roses:

Landing

It's easy to plant an English rose, even easier to find on site appropriate place for her. The plant does not need long lighting during the day - 4-5 hours are enough when the sun's rays hit the bush.

Good shade tolerance explained by the climate of Foggy Albion, where the main selection was carried out. Although, when planting in a more illuminated area, soil moisture will be able to evaporate faster, and the shoots will not stretch much.

The place for roses should not be flooded with melt water in the spring.

English roses are planted in spring or autumn. They grow on any soil, but preferably humus-rich, breathable soils with an acidity level of about 5.5-6.5.

Even an inexperienced gardener can plant seedlings:

1. A day before planting, trim the roots of the seedling and soak in water. It is advisable to add root stimulants or disinfect with a manganese solution.
2. Dig landing hole size 50 x 50 x 50 cm.
3. Make a mixture of garden soil, peat, humus and complex fertilizers.
4. Place the seedling in the hole, straighten the roots and gently sprinkle with the mixture.
5. Calculate the planting depth so that the grafting site is 7-10 cm below the soil level.
6. Water at the rate of at least 5 liters for each bush.
7. Compact the soil around the seedling and hill up the ground part for better rooting.

When planting ostinoka, the distance between the bushes should be not less than 0.5 m, when planting climbing varieties - not less than 0.7-1.0 m.

Care

English roses do not require special care , gardeners carry out agrotechnical measures traditional for all roses.

Watering

Watered in the evening at the rate of at least 10 liters of water for each plant. Climbing varieties will require more moisture - about 15 liters.

Check the need for watering based on the condition of the soil: if the soil is dry at a depth of 2-3 cm, then it’s time to water.

Top dressing

The plants are not fed in the first year after planting. They begin to fertilize from the second year after planting.

In the spring, nitrogen fertilizers are applied, during the budding period - nitrogen-phosphorus, in the fall - potassium, which will help the plant withstand the Russian winter.

Trimming

Austins are pruned in spring and autumn. Be sure to remove thin, diseased, old, weak shoots.

Formative pruning depends on what kind of plant they want to get: for a compact bush with large flowers, the shoots are shortened by half; for growing wide spreading bushes, abundantly covered with buds - 1/3 of the length, climbing varieties are cut to only 1/5 of the length.

After pruning, feed with complex fertilizer.

It is necessary to regularly remove weeds and loosen the soil under the bushes to provide the roots with access to moisture and air.

Pruning English roses:

Reproduction

English roses are most often bred in two ways.

Cuttings

For cuttings select ripened shoots of the current year. Cuttings are cut with three leaves - the lower two are removed and the top one is left. For planting, set aside a shaded area, cleared of weeds and well dug up.

The cuttings are planted at a distance of 15-20 cm from each other, deepened so that one leaf remains on the surface.

Cover with trimmed plastic bottles with the neck open, with the onset of cold weather they are covered with snow.

Next spring, leaves and new shoots will appear on the rooted cuttings. Young plants are replanted after a year, when digging, be sure to keep a large lump of earth so that the roots are not exposed.

Layerings

A simpler method compared to cuttings, used to propagate plants with strong, long stems.

Select a branch from the bush for layering, cut it at the bottom and use a staple pressed to the ground, sprinkled with soil and watered.

Usually the shoot takes root quickly, and next spring it can already be transplanted from the parent bush as an independent plant.

Austins take root equally well for any of the listed methods– according to statistics, 4 out of 5 cuttings take root and give birth to new bushes of magnificent roses.

Preparing for winter

English roses are poorly adapted to frosty winters. Despite the fact that in our country the most frost-resistant of all ostinas are grown, they must be covered for the winter.

The plant will overwinter better if fertilizer is applied regularly during the summer.

English roses are covered in the following sequence:

1. In the fall, flowers are left on the bushes so that they have time to bloom and fall off on their own - this will ensure full ripening of the shoots.
2. Unripe shoots are cut out, remaining leaves are removed, and the bushes are hilled up.
3. A fence made of foam plastic or plywood panels. Plastic containers are also used as shelter.
4. The internal cavity between the bush and the fence is filled with dry humus, shavings, dry leaves or spruce branches.
5. Climbing varieties are laid on the ground and pinned, and then covered with a layer of at least 30 cm, using foliage or spruce branches.

Cover English roses after the onset of cold weather, when the temperature sets below zero, but not below -5°C. Plants open in the spring after the air warms to 0°C.

English roses have gorgeous buds with magnificent coloring and unique aroma. According to David Austin, even a novice gardener can cope with growing this type of rose.

It is enough to buy a couple of seedlings and plant them on the plot, after a while easy care the plants will turn into gorgeous bushes covered with spectacular flowers.

The Jayne Austin rose is pale yellow in color. The height of the bush is usually about 100-120 cm. The width is about 105 cm, sometimes more but quite rarely. Disease resistance of Jayne Austin rose: gets sick in unfavorable years.

The outer petals are large and flat, the inner ones are smaller and more uneven in shape. The flower usually forms a rosette around a button in the center. They appear in clusters (usually 3-5 pieces), held straight, on fairly long shoots. The bush is strewn with large thorns, long shoots form a rounded bush.

English roses by David Austin (photo catalog of varieties will be presented below) - this is enough new type roses, which modern classification refers to scrubs - large, abundantly flowering shrubs (they are also called park roses).

Against the backdrop of rose growers’ love for ancient roses that flared up fifty years ago, these magnificent flowers appeared.

History of creation

Since the mid-nineteenth century, the main efforts of breeders have been aimed at creating modern varieties hybrid tea roses with many colors and repeat flowering. Park and ancient cultures were almost forgotten.

In the early fifties of the twentieth century, David Austin, an English breeder, during his trip to France saw ancient garden roses and began to dream of creating a flower of the same shape, but with repeated flowering.

The breeder crossed the ancient variety Belle Isis with the modern Dainty Maid. This is how the first “spring” was obtained - Constance Spry. The only drawback of this beauty was the one-time flowering in early summer.

Additionally, David wanted to add variety to the colors of his roses. The Graham Thomas variety was bred in 1983 and stood out among the rest for its rich yellow buds. Today, Graham Thomas is inducted into the World Rose Hall of Fame.

Nowadays, 12 of the best varieties of David Austin roses have been awarded the quality mark of the British Royal Horticultural Society. David Austin managed to select about two hundred varieties of roses and new items are constantly appearing in the catalogue. About four million bushes are sold annually. Now there is a discussion about the possibility of separating them into a separate group.
