The foliage of the climbing rose is dense, and the leaf plates themselves are glossy, dense green.

Main characteristics of the Parade rose

The Parade rose bush belongs to climbing, but at the same time compact varieties. An adult plant occupies an average area of ​​2.5 by 2.5 m. Although there are dwarf varieties, for example, the Blue Parade rose. Due to its compactness, it can be grown as a single bush, but it is mainly planted as a climbing plant.

Cucumber Parade

The bush takes root easily and overgrows with dense foliage in a short period of time. Already in the first year, single buds are formed on flexible, creeping shoots. The rose begins to bloom vigorously from the second year. The shoots of the last year are covered with large flowers. On one, up to 4-5 buds are formed. Their sizes reach 10-15 cm in diameter. These multi-petal flowers open gradually. For thin shoots, the weight of the buds is palpable, so they should be tied to supports.

Note! The number of buds is getting bigger every year.

Roses of this type look great solo and in compositions. Neighboring plants can be selected by contrasting flower buds or foliage. A rose looks good next to creeping lilac clematis, white jasmine bushes, multi-colored hydrangeas (Magic Sweet Summer is especially good).

A remarkable feature of this plant is to braid any structure (pillars, columns, fences, trellises, trellises, walls) in the shortest possible time. Let it be just foliage in the first year, but it also looks very beautiful.

Parade climbing rose easily braids any structure

The Parade variety is quite frost-resistant. It can withstand short-term frosts from -17.8 ° C to -20.6 ° C, but you should not risk it, it is better to cover it.

The flowers of the plant are pollinated by insects or the wind, and by August the fruits ripen. It is better to remove them in the ovary state or cut off the buds immediately after wilting, because hybrid seeds are not considered as planting material. They do not transfer maternal qualities to seedlings.

Growing and caring for a rose

Rose rumba

It is customary to plant Parade rose in early spring, this is especially true for Central Russia. The best time for this is May.

For lush flowering, the hybrid needs a sunny place or at least partial shade. Without light, the shoots will grow in length, there will be few flowers, and they will be small.

Constant ventilation of the bushes is also important for the plant.This allows drops of rain not to linger on the foliage, otherwise there is a high probability of developing fungal diseases.

Soil for planting roses

The soil

Parade prefers loose soils, for example, loam, but it is well developed on sandy loam and clay soils. But, if the land is very poor, it is better to mix native soil with clay (10-15 kg / m²) and humus (3-4 kg / m²) in the planting pit. The pit itself should be half a meter deep.

If the soil is acidic, then it is worth adding components to neutralize:

  • lime;
  • a piece of chalk;
  • dolomite flour;
  • oven ash.

Heavy clay soil should be diluted with sand (20 kg / m²) or peat (3-4 kg / m²).

Note! With proper preparation of the hole for planting a bush, the plant will have enough nutrients for the next 2-3 years.

The occurrence of groundwater is also important, which must pass at a depth of at least 1.5 m.

Landing

Seedlings ready for planting should be placed in a solution of the preparation for root formation for half an hour. It can be:

  • root;
  • epin.

Further, the roots of the bush are freely placed at the bottom of the planting hole, covered with soil and the surface is compacted. The planting is completed with abundant watering and, if they were not cut before planting, the shoots of the rose are shortened. For good flowering, it is enough to leave a length of 15 cm.

Watering and feeding

Top dressing is applied only in the third year after planting. It can be liquid organic matter (diluted manure) and ash. 1 tbsp is enough for a bucket of water. ash and 1 liter of liquid manure. From ready-made fertilizers, a novovert is suitable for roses.

Important! In the fall, it is advisable to feed with a solution of potassium salts.

It is enough to water the bushes once every 10 days. Only watering should be very abundant and reach the deepest roots, otherwise root formation will occur in the upper soil zone, which will make it difficult for the rose to transfer the winter.

 

Pruning

This procedure is carried out both in autumn and spring. In addition to diseased and damaged branches, all 3-4-year-old branches are removed. They will not bloom. The rest of the shoots are cut to the first strong bud. In order not to be mistaken with the number of cut branches, you need to remember that there should be as many remaining ones as deleted ones.

Winter care

At the end of September, plants need to be properly prepared for wintering. For this you need:

  • free all branches from leaves;
  • carry out pruning;
  • bend and pin the branches to the ground;
  • pour a mound of earth about 30 cm high on the rose;
  • sprinkle with dry leaves, twigs or special non-woven material (for example, lutrasil).

With the onset of stable frosts, it would be good to additionally build a shelter (cover with a large box, with a thick layer of spruce branches).

Spring adaptation should be carried out gradually: layer by layer to remove shelters and at the same time shade open bushes from the bright sun. It is very important to break the ice on time.

Note! It is better to fully open the bushes in non-sunny weather.
