"What types of roses are there, names and photos ...

Flower lovers (including us) are worried: how are our roses in the country? Winter this year is classically anomalous. In many regions there was no snow for a long time, although there were no severe frosts. Then it got very cold. Then the snow fell, and more than necessary. Now here is the dancing temperature, the streams are flowing. Then frosts will hit again and everything will be covered with a layer of ice ... Poor plants!

We will find out in the spring how they will survive the next bad weather. But so that every winter, I study the weather forecast not to grab my heart, heed the advice of a specialist.

A well-known collector of roses, Muscovite Alexei Stepanov, tested many different roses on his site, and compiled a list of the most reliable ones. It includes 30 varieties. And they all meet 5 main criteria:

1. Excellent health. This is one of the main qualities, since a sick rose not only spoils the look of the flower garden, it also winters badly. And then it dies. After all, the affected leaves fall off ahead of time, and the plant simply does not have time to mature.

2. Stable wintering. In different areas, different conditions and with different shelters, they are still able to survive our severe frosts.

3. Abundant and long flowering. Such roses that bloom without interruption all summer do not exist in nature, but these varieties will inflate for the longest possible time.

4. Resistance of flowers to bad weather. They are not afraid of rain, moisture and heat - in any case, they retain their decorative effect.

5. Good regrowth of shoots. This is important when, after an unsuccessful wintering, the aerial part of the plant dies. After all, the more new stems grow, the more flowers there will be.

So, roses that won't let you down.

Hybrid Tea


Meilland, 1945

This unsurpassed masterpiece is called the number 1 rose in the world. She is really magnificent: her flowers are large, yellow with tints and pink edging of the petals.
The only drawback is that each flower lasts only 3 days.


Olesen, 1984

Gorgeous, dark red, with almost black buds, this is without exaggeration the best red variety for the middle lane. Perfect and inimitable. The bush grows quickly, the flowers last up to 2 weeks and are not afraid of rain at all.


Tantau, 2006

No wonder this rose was named after the goddess of love and beauty - she is the embodiment of beauty! Her flowers are 10–12 cm in diameter, porcelain- Pink colour. They tolerate rain well. The bush is low, up to 80 cm.


Delbard, 1997

Perhaps, best rose in the Delbar collection. Her flowers are a delightful burgundy color with a black coating and wavy petals. On each shoot, 1 bud blooms, but there are always a lot of stems on the bush, the flowers last up to 2 weeks and are not afraid of rain at all.

floribunda

There are 7 varieties in this group at once. They are delightful. They are stable. They will decorate any garden!


Kordes, 2003

Its delicate, large (up to 9 cm in diameter) flowers in apricot-pink tones look very impressive against the background of dark green foliage. The bush is branchy. Not afraid of disease, heat or rain. It blooms all summer and is very abundant.


Mielland, 1993

As is known. Leonardo da Vinci was a great artist and a brilliant inventor. And the rose, named after him, seems to be striving to justify the high honor shown to her. Her bush is straight and compact. In the first flowering, it is literally strewn with bright pink pom-pom flowers, very close in shape to the old varieties.

The only drawback of this beauty is that it almost does not smell. But it never fails.


Kordes, 2002

She is always in the top ten charts, compiled by a survey of rose lovers - she is not equal in reliability! Creamy white flowers bloom slowly on large racemes and change shape daily.

The disadvantage of the rose is that in the middle lane it wakes up much later than other roses, develops slowly and blooms only at the end of July. Therefore, the second time does not have time to flourish. But in our harsh conditions, this shortcoming turns into a huge plus, because, having failed to lay the buds again, the rose has time to prepare for the cold and always winters well.


Tantau, 2004

The bush of this wonderful variety is very beautiful, with bright dark green foliage. The flowers are 7–8 cm in diameter, of an unusual creamy white color with pinkish and green hues. They are collected in multi-membered brushes that bloom profusely and for a long time. Rosa has excellent health and winters well.


Mielland, 2000

The main advantage of this rose is its “long-playing” flowers, each of which lasts up to 2 weeks and at the same time constantly changes color: at the time of dissolution, they are white with a red border, then turn red, and become white-green as they fade.

The rose has two drawbacks - it does not smell and in unfavorable years it is affected by black spot. But it feels great in gray latitudes.


Kordes, 2007

This rose has been awarded the ADR quality mark, which is given to the most decorative and resistant varieties. Her flowers are a unique yellow-orange-red color. Small, 6-7 cm in diameter, but always collected in large brushes. It always creates a bright accent in the garden, so it is better to plant it separately from other roses, for example, against the background of conifers. Otherwise, she will draw all the attention to herself and other varieties next to her will be lost.


Kordes, 2005

It is not tall, but blooms very profusely. Her flowers are small, pompon-shaped, intense pink in color, collected in large brushes of 15-30 pieces!

Shrubs

This group also has a fairly extensive selection of resistant and unpretentious roses - 7 varieties that will not let you down and will delight with health and abundant flowering.


Kordes, 1969

A very spectacular and unusual rose - her bush grows quickly and blooms in two pronounced waves. The flowers are semi-double, copper-orange. And although each of them lasts only 3 days, they take in quantity - there are a lot of buds in the brushes and new ones constantly replace the fallen ones. In very severe winters, it can freeze slightly, but quickly recovers. It has the ADR quality mark for high decorativeness and durability.


Kordes, 1984

The flowers of this wonderful rose are medium-sized, up to 4 cm in diameter, but they form an incredible amount. They are bright pink in color, collected in numerous brushes that cover the leaves with themselves. In the catalogs in the photographs, she usually does not look very presentable, and flower growers often bypass her with their attention. But those who planted it were not disappointed - this is a real queen! Nothing sick and all in bloom. No wonder she was awarded the ADR quality mark.


Mielland, 1985

The perfect rose for beginners! She easily forgives mistakes in pruning and shelter for the winter, and every summer pleases with abundant flowering. Her flowers are light pink, slightly fading. They are not large, 5–6 cm in diameter, but they open constantly, in any weather right up to the snow!

The only downside is that it doesn't smell at all.


Frank R. Cowlishaw, 1999

This is the only "blue" rose in the top thirty. And this is the bluest of all existing roses! It's actually blue-violet. The flowers are not large, but are collected in large brushes. Rain resistant. The bush grows up to 1.5 m and looks very impressive surrounded by dense yellow roses.


Margottin, 1851

Pay attention to the year when it was bred - it is more than half a century old! This is an old Bourbon variety that will give odds to many modern ones. Very hardy and winter hardy. It can even be left in the winter without shelter. The bush, of course, freezes above the snow level, but quickly recovers. With good shelter, the plants are tall and very dense. The flowers of this old cupped rose, 5–7 cm in diameter, are dark pink in the center and lighter at the edges. And what a smell! Saturated, strong.

By the way, it is from this variety that rose oil is most often made and jam is made.


Kordes, 2008

She appeared on the market relatively recently, but has already managed to conquer gardeners with excellent health and abundant flowering. Her flowers are small, 5–6 cm in diameter, pale pink, densely double, of an old form, collected in large brushes. This variety will perfectly complement English roses with large flowers.


Delbard, 2001

The only rose with striped petals on the list of reliable varieties. It is so powerful that in France it is recommended to make hedges from it. In our conditions, it is, of course, a little more modest, but, nevertheless, it grows up to 1.5 m, forming very tough shoots. They cannot be bent down for the winter, so the bush has to be cut to the height of the shelter. The flowers of this rose are slightly double, but large, of a rare pomegranate hue with white strokes. Each brush contains 9-20 buds.

English

This group included 5 varieties that showed themselves at their best in the harsh conditions of Russian reality.


Austin, 1983

This is one of the best varieties of David Austin selection. A few years ago, he was the last, 14th in a row, to take a place in the World Rose Hall of Fame. Blooms very profusely. Its flowers are bright yellow, do not fade and are considered the standard yellow color at the roses In our climate it will grow very quickly, reaching a height of 2 m.


Austin, 1999

An incredible variety - during the flowering season, its shoots are covered with caps of densely doubled light orange flowers of an old form with a strong aroma. It can be grown as climbing rose, with minimal pruning, keeping the last year's shoots. At the same time, it will bloom almost along their entire length.


Austin, 1985

This variety in warm countries forms a powerful bush 2 m high and the same size in circumference. However, in Russia it doesn’t work like that - the shoots are very tough and it’s impossible to bend them to the ground, so you have to cut them to the height of the shelter. The flowers of this rose are cold pink, very fragrant, collected in brushes.


Austin, 1985

This is one of the first varieties that brought David Austin worldwide fame. The quality of the variety is outstanding. Tall and strong arcuate shoots create a beautiful bush shape. They are easy to winterize. Cold pink flowers with a lilac tint fully convey the charm of real vintage roses. One of the first to bloom in the garden, and one of the last to finish flowering.


Austin, 2000

The most popular profusely flowering rose in our country. A vigorous spreading bush grows quickly - this variety has never had problems with the replacement of shoots. Her flowers are white, with an orange center - they look just amazing!

ground covers

There is only one variety here - only it has fully shown itself to be reliable and very decorative.


Kordes, 2001

This variety fully justifies its name (“sunny” in English means “sunny”) - if you want to have a yellow carpet in the garden, then it was created especially for you! Pleases with abundant, almost continuous flowering. In the racemes up to 12 large rich yellow, fading to cream flowers. An adult bush covers an area of ​​\u200b\u200babout 1 square. m. It has the ADR quality mark.

Climbing

There are quite a lot of reliable roses in this group - 6 varieties at once showed themselves at their best in our difficult climatic conditions.


Kordes, 1955

Very showy rose with red petals. It blooms once, but so abundantly that it literally outshines other roses! Her flowers are resistant to rain, open in any weather and stay on the bush for a long time. It grows well on its own roots and is well cut, so it wanders from garden to garden.


Kordes, 1977

Is growing fast. It blooms profusely all season with bright crimson flowers. It is considered petite, but in our climate it does not grow to the stated size and is usually grown as a scrub. Looks great and blooms on the trunk. Over time, its shoots become thick, it is difficult to lay them, so the bush for wintering has to be cut to the level of shelter.


Mielland, 1987

In our conditions, its lashes reach 1.5–2 m. It looks beautiful on a lattice support if the shoots are distributed on it in the form of a fan. But you can grow it in the form of a bush, tying it to vertical supports to protect it from the wind. By the way, it is often called "Paradise rose". Indeed, when you stand near an adult flowering bush, which is decorated with an abundance of creamy white flowers with a bright pink edge, it seems that such beauty can only be in paradise.

But this rose has 3 drawbacks: a weak aroma, the instability of flowers to rain, and thick shoots that have to be bent down for the winter in 2-3 doses.


Kordes, 2005

This rose impresses with excellent health and abundant flowering - there are caps of up to 50 buds on new shoots! The flowers are medium-sized, cup-shaped, with the most delicate pink-lilac tint and amazing aroma! And what’s even nicer is that the shoots fit well in the winter.


Jacksaon & Perkins USA, 1901

It is not for nothing that this climbing rambler rose has been so popular in the world for over 100 years - its powerful bushes 3 m high and more than 2 m wide from top to bottom are strewn with cascades of small, 3–5 cm in diameter pink flowers. The foliage is small, glossy and completely covered with flowers during flowering. Blooms once. It looks great on a high trunk - its long shoots gracefully hang down like a luxurious waterfall.


Kordes, 1936

This outstanding rose is more than 80 years old, but it still drives flower growers all over the world crazy. Belongs to the group of ramblers. Blooms once but very profusely. The flowers are medium-sized, 5–6 cm in diameter, reminiscent of pompoms in shape - it seems that they have come down from old paintings. The shoots are very prickly and flexible, they easily bend in any direction, so there are no problems with laying them for the winter.

P.S. Please note that most of the roses in the list of rose collector Alexei Stepanov belong to the selection of Kordes. And this is not surprising, because the climate of Germany is closest to ours. Heat-loving French women are still lagging behind in terms of resistance to diseases. And one more thing: in this list of reliable roses, as you noticed, there are no varieties of Canadian selection. But they are ideally suited for our harsh conditions. Yes, only their decorative effect, to put it mildly, is an amateur.

Based on materials from the journal "Herald of the gardener", April 2013.

The novice part of gardeners should know the rules used to successfully grow flowers in harsh winter conditions. The first rule used by experienced gardeners is that the seedling must be purchased from local nurseries.

Selection criteria for cultivation in Siberia and the Urals

Siberia and the Urals are characterized by a spring that starts too late, a winter that is harsh in nature. Warm days here are not so often and they do not last long.

In order to withstand harsh weather conditions, plants are needed that are adapted to such conditions, namely those plants that have been grown in a given climatic region.

Growing frost-resistant roses in Siberia and the Urals

The second rule is the cultivation of Canadian roses. The climate of the country where these frost-resistant roses are grown has the same climate as the country of Russia. It is preferable to buy flowers of the Canadian variety not in the market, but from a reliable supplier.

Note! Another criterion to be followed is vaccination.

It was found that the flowers grafted in the Urals (and in Siberia) had the most favorable wintering. They do not freeze out due to increased immunity. In order for the immunity of a plant to be increased, it is grafted with another plant that has a much more enduring immunity. In this case, the rootstock for the rose in most cases is the wild rose.

Important! A flower for planting in Siberia and the Urals must have high winter hardiness, resistance to diseases and pests.

The site for wintering must be prepared in advance. The hilling of the land where the flowers are located is carried out, and additional shelter is also provided. Plants are covered with spruce branches, film, roofing material, and then covered with snowdrifts on top.

Roses grafted in the Urals (and in Siberia) have the most favorable wintering

Another way to ensure a favorable wintering in Siberia and the Urals is to cover the flowers with a box. A properly sheltered bush will overwinter well, and airing the plant before the onset of cold weather will not be a problem. Need to pick up cardboard box, which has a suitable medium size, and cover the cropped seedling with it. The top of the box is covered with plastic wrap to prevent the box from getting wet.

Description of roses for growing in the suburbs

  • Since all four seasons of the year are characteristic of the Moscow region, with the corresponding temperature for each of them, the plant must be hardy to changing climatic conditions;
  • Having disease resistance. High humidity in the region under consideration, rare sunny days increase the development of various ailments;
  • Since more than 6 months in this region, daylight hours are much shorter than expected, you should choose varieties that do not need long-term sunlight.
