How to care for a tea rose. Tea roses: description of the best varieties and features of proper garden care
The rose is a real decoration of the garden, fragrant and eye-catching. The difficulties of growing do not frighten rose lovers. Among the many varieties, the tea rose stands out especially, a real aristocrat who is afraid of the slightest discomfort. Despite this, she has a lot of admirers. And to those who have endured all her whims, she gives the opportunity to admire her, admire her and inhale the delicate, tea-like aroma.
The appearance of the tea rose
The tea rose arrived in Europe from China, striking flower growers with its beauty, sophistication and aroma. Since then, many breeders have worked to obtain new species, crossed the most different varieties. These works produced a variety of hybrid tea rose species. Along with the new color, the tea rose, its varieties and species, received many advantages, became more resistant to cold, and gained resistance to pests.
Types of tea rose
Hybrid tea varieties are one of the most popular among tea rose lovers. They are distinguished by their magnificent shapes, variety of bud colors, and exquisite aromas.
Roses of these varieties have large buds, and the bushes reach small sizes. Experienced gardeners and flower growers create magnificent compositions by growing hybrid tea roses on trunks, which perfectly decorate medium-sized garden plots.
Truly, the discovery was the appearance of the La France variety in 1867 as a result of crossing a remontant rose and a tea rose. The variety absorbed all the best that was in roses: the sophistication of the flower shape, the most delicate aroma, abundant flowering, a stable tree trunk, resistance to cold.
As a result of crossings, tea roses, varieties and species have many similar characteristics and differences.
For example, floribunda rose is another group of varieties that appeared as a result of crossing hybrid tea roses with polyanthas. This group of varieties is multi-flowered, but its shape is closer to a tea rose.
Thanks to this, floribunda blooms for a long time. They differ only in their flatter rosette and have virtually no aroma.
These varieties have even greater resistance to cold and disease, unlike hybrid tea varieties. Floribunda rose varieties are popular for landscaping city parks and garden plots, when long and abundant flowering is required.
Grandiflora varieties also appeared as a result of long-term experiments. Roses of these varieties differ from floribunda; the bush has fewer buds, but in shape they are more similar to hybrid tea varieties. Another difference of this species is the long peduncle, which makes the entire bush elegant.
Tea rose varieties
Tea rose, varieties and species of which have a wide variety of colors, from light yellow to dark red, blooms from early summer until autumn:
- buds of the Wienerwald variety are salmon-pink in color, up to 10 cm in diameter, the bush is dense, suitable for growing in trunks, flowering is long-lasting;
- The ripe orange buds of the Doris Tistermann variety will delight lovers of bright colors. The variety is not multi-colored, single, large buds, with a delicate aroma;
- Cordes perfecta, hybrid tea variety, two-color. The color is soft cream at the base and the edges of the petals are dark red. The bush is straight, not multi-colored, strong aroma;
- Edelweiss, floribunda variety will give abundant blooms of white-cream flowers, spreading bush;
- the Montana variety (floribunda) blooms with bright red rosettes, the bush reaches a height of up to 90 cm.

This variety was brought to Europe from China back in the 18th century and immediately attracted the attention of flower growers and breeders. Despite the fact that the tea rose is quite difficult to care for, the results of the work of growing it are a real reward, in which you get the opportunity to admire its magnificent flowers. Some of its species, as a result of painstaking and lengthy selection work, have become less sensitive to cold and many types of pests are no longer afraid of them. These are hybrid tea varieties that can, with some effort, be grown even in not very comfortable climatic conditions. Therefore, tea rose hybrids can be seen in summer cottages in central Russia, and even in Siberia, however, they can only be grown there in a greenhouse.
Popular varieties of tea roses that can be seen in Russia belong to the hybrid tea varieties and the so-called floribunda and grandiflora. The floribunda species is the result of crossing hybrid tea and polyantha varieties. These roses are characterized by multi-flowering, but the shape of their buds is closer to a tea rose, although flatter, and their aroma is less pronounced. Due to its resistance to low temperatures, this variety is used for landscaping in cities.
The species of grandiflora tea roses can be identified by long peduncles decorated at the ends with graceful buds, more reminiscent of the buds of their ancestor, the tea rose, than the floribunda variety.
Varieties of tea roses
As a result of crossing a tea rose with a remontant rose, the Wienerwald variety appeared with large salmon-pink buds, the diameter of which can reach 10 cm. Tall bushes with dense branches grow well in trunks, delighting with flowering from the beginning of summer until the fall.The La France variety was bred back in 1867; it is one of the most beloved varieties among flower growers. It is resistant to cold and has an abundance of beautiful buds with a wonderful aroma. Doris Tistermann is not distinguished by its play of shades, but the rich orange color of the large buds of this variety itself is beautiful, and it looks simply magnificent against the dark green leaves. The two-color variety Cordes Perfecta also belongs to the hybrid tea category. At the base, the flower petals are soft cream in color, and at the edges they are dark red.
Among the floribunda subspecies, popular ones include the white-cream Edelweiss and the bright red Montana variety. These varieties are characterized by abundant repeat flowering and are very good in hedges.
The rose is rightfully considered the queen of flowers, since it is not only very beautiful, but also very demanding in terms of growing conditions, but at the same time it can grow not only in the south with a warm and mild climate, but also in conditions Siberia.

House roses are just as lovely as their garden counterparts. They have a variety of colors and flower shapes, many have a pleasant, delicate aroma. It is best to grow so-called miniature or indoor roses indoors, since they are not so capricious and more easily adapt to life at home.
You will need
- - container for plant transplantation;
- - water;
- - expanded clay;
- - fertilizers;
- - thick paper
- - polyethylene;
- - pallet;
- - a sharp knife or pruning shears;
- - one of the drugs: “Aktellik”, “Apollo”, “Vermitek”, “Fitoverm”.
Instructions
Don’t rush to replant your newly acquired plant right away; wait a couple of weeks. Give him the opportunity to adapt to the new place and get used to the microclimate of your apartment. In the meantime, find a bright, but preferably cool place on the windowsill. Roses develop best at a temperature of 14-20°. If the adaptation period goes well, you can replant.
The container for transplantation should be 2-4 cm larger than before. If the pot has been used before, simply wash it with a brush and soap. If you are going to use a completely new one, fill it with water and leave for a couple of hours. Place a drainage layer at the bottom of the pot - small pebbles, for example, expanded clay - at least 1 cm thick. For replanting, it is best to purchase ready-made soil from a specialized store.
Roses are replanted using the transshipment method, since they are very sensitive to possible damage to the roots. Water the flower and leave it for a while. The water should be well absorbed. Next, lay the plant down and lightly tap the sides and bottom of the pot. Remove it from the container without damaging the earthen ball.
As a rule, when choosing a rose for planting on a plot, the gardener is guided by what role it will play in the overall ensemble in the garden area and whether the selected variety can fulfill this “intended role.” In the regularly updated quite impressive list of modern varieties, distinguished by graceful forms, stability and endurance, choosing the right option with the desired characteristics is becoming easier every year. However, desperate romantics are in no hurry to chase the “cold” perfection of modern roses and are increasingly opting for ancient, less stable types with not entirely ideal, but more “close to nature” outlines and an exquisite “aroma of antiquity” - Bourbon, Damask , teahouses, etc. It is these ancient roses that have already inspired the originators to create new standards - specimens that combine the “antique” appearance and flower shapes with the rich color, endurance and repeated flowering of modern varieties (the “English Rose” group by David Austin and the “Generosa” series by Jean- Pierre Guyot). The class of tea roses (Tea & Climbing Tea), which also belongs to the ancient ones, has not undergone such serious changes in terms of selection today, although the varieties included in it with a “romantic” appearance and abundant fragrant flowering played a significant role in the history of the development of roses and all still remain in demand among breeders, designers, collectors and ordinary lovers of indoor rose culture.
The original species of tea rose, or fragrant rose (Rosa odorata), was brought to Europe in 1810 from China, where it still grows wild in the southern provinces. This evergreen shrub differed from the roses already cultivated by Europeans by its thin long shoots bearing single or collected 2-3 “sentimentally” drooping flowers with a very expressive aroma of fresh tea. Please note: the name “tea” was given to the plant precisely because of its smell, and not because of its origin, although Chinese rose (Rosa chinensis) may also appear in the literature under this name. According to some botanical sources, the first plant is supposedly a hybrid of the second, although the second does not have a characteristic odor. At one time, both Rosa chinensis (for producing remontant roses) and Rosa odorata were in demand in rose breeding, but the original species for the class Tea roses and their climbers (Tea & Climbing Tea) is considered to be the fragrant rose. Unfortunately, as practice has shown over time, the “migrant” from China turned out to be completely unadapted to the harsher climate and bad weather, and was also too vulnerable to diseases, especially powdery mildew. Therefore, to increase the stability of the plant, Europeans began actively crossing it with other species, as a result of which specimens appeared with more stable foliage and with different growth patterns - from low-growing (from 50 cm) to climbing (2 - 4 m in height). With regard to frost resistance, the situation has also changed: if for the original species cultivation in zones from 7b to warmer was considered acceptable, then some new varieties successfully took root in zone 5b (no more than minus 26 °C). But even after, as a result of selection, Rosa odorata in its original form almost disappeared from circulation back in the 19th century, low frost resistance (in comparison with other types of roses) remained a pressing drawback of both old and most new varieties of tea roses. Therefore, in regions with harsh climates it has always been recommended to grow it either with careful winter shelter or indoors.
To the listed disadvantages one cannot help but add the difficulties in propagating tea roses that plagued breeders at that time. Not only did the originator need to grow at least 200 seedlings to obtain one single new variety from seeds, but also the rooting of cuttings of this rose with most varieties ended in failure, until Jean-Baptiste Guillot Jr. invented a qualitatively new and quick way propagation by eye grafting onto wild plants. This was a decisive event in the history of the tea rose and soon made it incredibly popular among flower lovers, as evidenced by at least historical facts. Thus, one of the first tea roses - the pale yellow "Madame Falcot" - adorned ladies' corsages and boutonnieres at balls during the reign of Napoleon III; "Duchesse de Brabant" was Theodore Roosevelt's favorite rose, which he often wore in his coat buttonhole; and out of 68 planted by A.P. Chekhov's garden at his "White Dacha" in Yalta consisted of almost half of tea roses. The role of the tea rose in the creation of the first hybrid tea “La France” by Jean-Baptiste Guillot Jr., as well as the participation of its most spectacular varieties in further hybridization, cannot be underestimated. Alas, most of the ancient varieties have so far been preserved only in museums and private rose gardens in Europe, and therefore today the cultivation of “romantic old” tea roses by domestic connoisseurs can be considered almost a “feat”.
Choosing a variety for planting
If we talk about choosing a variety for planting, then you need to pay attention to the fact that the names of many tea roses very often duplicate their “descendants”. So, in particular, “Peace”, registered in 1902 as a tea house, was registered in 1945 under the same name as “Peace, Climbing”, a climbing hybrid tea. In order not to doubt that a rose belongs specifically to tea roses, you need to pay attention to the botanical classification, which is usually indicated in parentheses after the name of the variety: the marking T (Tea) indicates that it belongs to tea roses, and their climbing varieties (clayings) - Cl T ( Climbing Tea). Of course, the choice of planting site and further care of the plants will depend on these characteristics in the future. The color range of tea rose varieties varies mainly in soft pastel white-pink-yellow-orange tones (“The Bride”, “Sombreuil”, “Souvenir de Victor Hugo”, “Homere”, “G. Nabonnand”, “ Lady Hillingdon”, “Clair de Lune”), although there are also more expressive specimens among them - coral-red “Won Fang Yon” and “Triomphe de Guillot Fils”, crimson “Francois Dubreuil” and others. Most of them form vigorous bushes of a vertical or spreading (more than a meter wide) shape, which look original in single plantings and in hedge groups. More compact varieties (no taller than 150 cm) fit well into general flower beds and rose gardens, and willingly repairing low-growing varieties (“Marechal Niel”, “Marie Van-Houtte”, “Maman Cochet”) successfully develop and bloom even on window sills and balconies. Interestingly, when choosing a plant, you can “adjust” the strength of its aroma: the richer the color of the flowers and the denser the petals, the stronger and more expressive the rose’s scent will be. It is generally accepted that climbing tea roses (“Belle Lyonnaise”, “Gloire de Dijon”, “Madame Berard”, “Sombreuil”, “Climbing Papa Gontier”, “Mme Jules Gravereaux”, “Ena Harkness” etc.) are in all their glory They show themselves only in a mild southern climate, since in the middle zone their early vegetation and repeated flowering are at risk of damage by frost. Practice confirms that with a successful choice of place for planting and organization of the correct winter shelter, experienced gardeners still manage to successfully grow climbing specimens in a relatively cool climate, although more often with single flowering. Be that as it may, it is still better for beginners to give preference to bush varieties that begin the growing season late (Lady Hillingdon, Francis Dubreuil), which, even in the middle zone, usually winter well, develop fully and bloom profusely. Please note: some gardeners prefer to call David Austin's English roses “modern tea”, which is not entirely correct. Despite the fact that “Ostinki” also boast a noticeable pleasant aroma, it is usually difficult to call it a characteristic “tea” one; rather, it is fruity or “antique”, inherited from these roses from centifolia, damask, gallic, moss and remontant ancestors.
Planting a tea rose on the site
To plant a tea rose, you need to choose a sunny place, preferably slightly shaded in the afternoon, protected from cold northern and eastern winds, but also sufficiently ventilated. Climbing varieties with a pale color are best placed in a well-warmed area next to the southern wall, which will accumulate heat during the day and “share” it with the roses at night. Even before planting, it is also advisable to provide for the possibility of organizing support for the plants. Most tea rose seedlings are sold grafted onto rose hips, so in “dangerous” areas with shallow groundwater (up to 1 m), they will have to be planted in raised flower beds. In terms of soil composition requirements, tea roses are similar to hybrid teas - they grow better on well-permeable fertilized loams with a slightly acidic (pH 6.0 - 6.5) reaction. Moreover, they smell stronger precisely on heavy soils, so it is very advisable to “weight down” light sandy soils by adding weathered clay, turf soil or humus. It is strongly recommended to plant tea roses only in spring, in pre-prepared planting holes (60x60 cm), which for group plantings are dug at a distance of 50 - 60 cm from one another. During the procedure, the root collars of seedlings should be buried 5 cm in order to suppress the growth of wild shoots and stimulate the further regrowth of their own roots to improve the winter hardiness of plants. Please note: immediately after planting, short pruning of tea roses cannot be carried out, since in bush varieties this can delay the flowering period, and in climbing varieties it can generally stimulate a return to the bush form and the “loss” of climbing properties. The maximum that needs to be done is to shorten damaged or underdeveloped stems and promptly remove weak and diseased shoots on the remaining “skeleton” in the first year after planting.
Tea rose care
In the future, caring for a tea rose should include procedures standard for all roses, but adjusted for excessive susceptibility to disease and poor frost resistance. Firstly, immediately after planting, the plant should be hilled up (with peat) to prevent drying/freezing of the roots and stems until the end of the adaptation period. Secondly, in order not to provoke the appearance of fungal diseases, watering should be done relatively rarely (at least once a week), but abundantly, preferably in the morning, and so that as little water gets on the leaves as possible. Ideally, it is advisable to place a hose with slowly flowing water under the bush and leave it until the moisture penetrates to the deepest roots. Thirdly, given the weak resistance of tea roses to powdery mildew, from the beginning of the growing season it is necessary to take preventive measures: spray the plants (always from bottom to top!) with a solution of colloidal sulfur (100 g per 100 l of water) the first two times with an interval of 2 weeks, and then once a month. If desired, you can also include preventive treatment against other fungal diseases and pests. Fourthly, for full development, all roses need to be regularly fed with high-grade roses, but tea roses - no more than 2 times a month, since due to excess fertilizer their aroma may lose saturation.
And lastly: in order for roses to bloom profusely, after the first wave it is necessary to remove faded inflorescences and carry out formative pruning every year. The fact is that tea roses bloom for the first time on short side branches of the first/second order, growing on 1-2 year old stems, and again on the tops of the current year’s shoots. The first wave is so abundant that long shoots under the weight of flowers can sag even to the ground, become very dirty and break. So that the rose itself does not completely “ruin” its decorativeness in the first few years, from the second year of life its annual spring pruning procedure should include pruning long annual shoots by a third and shortening by 2 - 3 buds the lateral growths of last year’s branches, on which the bush will form the first wave of flowers. After the first wave in the summer, it is necessary to remove the faded inflorescences, and the rose will bloom profusely again on annual shoots and their growth. To prevent the bush from thickening with age and to regularly rejuvenate, in the spring you also need to periodically cut out the old skeletal branches. In relation to climbing tea roses, the principle of pruning remains the same, but here the difficulty lies in the horizontal placement of the vines, control of the bush density on the trellis and timely replacement of old “skeletal” branches with new ones.
With the onset of the first light frosts in a harsh climate, tea roses need to begin to be prepared for wintering: in dry weather, cut off faded inflorescences, remove immature and suspicious shoots (with spots, mold, etc.), mulch the base of the bush with humus or peat to a height 35 - 40 cm should be carefully removed from the support, laid on a platform lined with spruce branches (dry leaves), build frames for air-dry shelter over the roses (or put wooden boxes) and cover them first with spunbond or burlap, and then with plastic film . Please note: if the climate of your area does not allow you to grow climbing tea roses without shelter, the plant should initially be planted with a slight slope so that the vines fit easier under the frame. Immediately before covering, rose stems must be cleared of leaves (collected and burned) and treated with a 3% solution of ferrous sulfate for prevention. The ends of the winter shelter should be left slightly open until a constant temperature is established in the range of minus 5 - °C. It is advisable to open them slightly for ventilation during prolonged winter and spring thaws; In the spring, the cover should be removed gradually, preferably in cloudy weather, and removed last.
Growing tea roses at home
To grow a tea rose at home, you need to decide what wintering conditions you can provide it with. A plant grafted onto a rose hip must overwinter (November - February) necessarily in a cool place - at a temperature of 1 - 3 ° C, since the root system of a deciduous rose hip, resting during this period, cannot fully support the ground part of the rose, which continues to be active, which is quickly depleted and dies. A rooted specimen overwinters successfully in an apartment, but without additional lighting it still stretches out and also weakens greatly. Therefore, one way or another, you will have to take care of ensuring a cool winter in advance. If simple option- basement or garage - no, pots of roses can be placed between window frames, on a glazed balcony (loggia), or, as a last resort, in a ditch specially dug in the garden and covered with covering material. This, perhaps, is the most difficult part of growing homemade tea roses.
Indoor tea roses should be planted in small pots with well-permeable soil, composed of two parts of turf-clay soil, peat (1 tsp) and coconut substrate (1 tsp), which will prevent it from caking and ensure constant aeration of the roots even without regular loosening. Please note: it is strongly recommended to replant a healthy rose into a new soil mixture in the spring, before the active growing season begins, so the purchased flowering plant will only need to be well cared for until the fall. In terms of care, the home tea rose is no less capricious than its garden relatives. It grows well on sunny windowsills with relative coolness (18 - 20 °C) and responds positively to being kept outdoors in summer and autumn (on a terrace, balcony, ventilated windowsill). But at the same time it does not tolerate drafts, overheating of the root system (the pots need to be covered or buried in containers on the balcony) and dry air, and therefore in summer (if necessary in winter) pots of roses are strongly recommended to be kept on a tray with wet expanded clay (coconut fiber). You can also partially increase the humidity using periodic (Bud type) and preventive spraying against diseases and pests (Epin, Actellik, Fitoverm, etc.). Due to the high susceptibility to diseases, it is undesirable to get carried away with frequent watering (as well as fertilizing) of homemade tea roses, but you should also not allow the soil to dry out completely. To prolong flowering, it is advisable to remove wilted flowers, and after this, in order to properly prepare for wintering, you need to gradually limit fertilizing and watering. Roses that have overwintered in the cool can already be transplanted into a fresh substrate at the beginning of March, returned to their permanent place, short or medium pruning (as far as the size of the room allows) and smoothly resuming watering and fertilizing.
Of course, it is difficult to disagree with the fact that against the background of modern roses, tea roses have faded into the background solely because of their instability to disease and weather conditions. But in a relatively mild climate, with timely preventive treatments (which, by the way, experienced rose growers always pay attention to), caring for these roses is greatly simplified. So why not please yourself with their amazing aroma and create at least a small semblance of a “Chekhov’s garden” in your backyard?
The tea rose in the photo began to be used in Russia; it was brought from Europe and China. These varieties amazed flower growers with their elegant flower colors and pleasant aroma. Since that period, most breeders have worked on developing new hybrids, using new varieties for crossing. These works were the result of the development of hybrid tea roses. In addition, the tea rose, the varieties of which received most of the advantages, turned out to be resistant to cold, and has resistance to various pests.
Tea rose
The hybrid tea varieties in the photo are the most popular among lovers of species such as tea rose. Let's look at the description of this plant. The flowers have a magnificent shape, a variety of colors, and an exquisite aroma. These varieties have large flowers with buds, and the bushes grow small. According to experienced gardeners and flower growers, these varieties are used to create magnificent compositions and to create trunks that perfectly decorate garden areas.
The real find was the La France variety in the photo, which was bred only in 1866 as a result of crossing varieties of remontant and tea roses. The variety has all the best qualities:
- exquisite shape of flowers;
- nice smell;
- long flowering;
- resistance to cold periods of time.
For example, the floribunda rose belongs to another group of hybrids that appeared as a result of crossing a hybrid tea rose and a polyantha rose. This category has distinctive features- multi-flowered, however, in shape it is similar to tea rose flowers. Thanks to this property, the flowering period of the floribunda rose is long. The peculiarity of this variety in the photo is its flat rosette and lack of aroma. They are not afraid of cold weather and diseases. They are quite often used for landscaping parks in cities or for garden plots. At the same time, these flowers delight with abundant and bright blooms.
Rosebud
Varieties
The grandiflora variety was obtained through long-term experiments. These types of roses have distinctive features - the bud of the bush is smaller, but its shape is similar to the hybrid tea species. Another feature of this species is its rather long peduncle, making the bush graceful.
Let's consider the most popular and bright varieties of tea rose:
- hybrid tea
Hybrid tea rose is a large-flowered bush. This is truly a rose from an aristocratic family. The name “hybrid tea” arose from the old one - “tea rose”. The tea rose had the scent of freshly picked tea and elegant looking flowers. However, they have not proven to be weather-hardy or very resistant to disease. After a long period of selection, we were able to obtain a hybrid tea variety that is much more cold-resistant.
Tea rose varieties
This group of roses is considered to be the most popular of all types of garden roses. It has a variety with a large number of variations in color, smell and flower shape. The plant has large flowers and a medium-sized bush. If necessary, they can only get a standard form. They are an excellent solution for a small garden. Tea rose has a wide variety of shades ranging from light yellow to dark red, the flowering period is early summer until late autumn.
- Wienerwald
The Wienerwald variety has a salmon-pink color, which reaches a height of approximately 9 centimeters, the bush is dense, suitable for growing in trunks, the flowering period is quite long.
- Doris Tistermann
This variety has an orange bud. This is an excellent solution for those gardeners who love bright flowers in their summer cottage. The variety is not multi-colored, single, with a large bud, with a delicate scent.
- Cordes perfecta
This variety belongs to the hybrid tea, bicolor variety. It has a soft cream color and is dark red along the edges. The bush is straight, not multi-colored with a strong aroma.
Planting a tea rose
- Edelweiss
This variety can produce abundant blooms with white-cream flowers; the bush is spreading.
- Montana
The Montana variety begins to bloom with bright red buds, and the bush can reach approximately 88 centimeters in height.
Planting and care
Let's consider such an important process as planting a tea rose. Planting is carried out in the autumn period from September to October. Tea rose loves fertile loamy soil, so it is necessary to look for an area with similar soil. The place where the rose will be planted should be dug well to about 28 cm with a shovel. Then we add fertilizer: a bucket of compost per square meter. m, mix with a glass of ash. Then you need to carefully prime the soil.
Before planting, the root system of this rose must be moistened and left in water for about 8 hours. To plant, you will need to dig a hole with a diameter of 22 cm. After planting a tea rose, careful care is required. Care consists of watering, fertilizing, periodic.
First, let's consider such care as. The soil of this rose should always be moistened to a depth of about 4 cm. It is not recommended to overdry the plant. In general, watering once a week is sufficient. But it is always necessary to take into account the condition of the soil - if it is dry, then watering is necessary.
Tea rose care
It is necessary to water the flowers at the roots, but do not allow moisture to get on the leaves, because this can cause the appearance of the disease. The root system of this type of rose is quite massive and large, so it is necessary to water it abundantly. also involves feeding. These flowers can re-bloom, so it is quite important to constantly feed the flowers.
The very first feeding is carried out in early spring when the ground has thawed. As a top dressing, a special fertilizer is used, which is used for roses. You can buy it in seedling stores. Fertilizer should be added to the soil once every few weeks. Feeding should be stopped after 6 weeks, until possible frosts begin. If the above process is not carried out, the plant may die. This is due to the fact that this flower will actively consume nutrients from the soil, and severe frosts will immediately begin and in this case the flower will freeze.
If you decide to choose a tea rose for planting in your summer cottage, then keep in mind that when growing it, the soil should always be mulched. You can use straw or sawdust as mulch. Thanks to mulching, you can retain water for a long period of time and thus prevent the growth of weeds near the planting. Mulching should be done in early spring. This kind of care is necessary if you want to grow a healthy plant.
Caring for this rose in spring comes down to pruning. It is necessary to trim dry flowers from weak branches. Before trimming them, you should make sure that the sprout still has leaves. It is necessary to trim approximately 0.65 cm above the sprout. You need to cut at an angle so that the liquid drains well. This rose stimulates the growth of new and healthy stems. Caring for a tea rose plant is simple, but it is very important for abundant flowering and flower growth.
