Roses are the most beautiful flowers that are widespread in all corners of the planet. People admire their tenderness and splendor. They are constantly working on breeding new varieties of this plant. So, there is a very beautiful variety of roses. It is called Maria Theresa. This variety was bred in 2003 in Germany. He will be discussed in this article.
Description
This rose belongs to the group of floribunda. It is literally strewn with medium-sized flowers, the diameter of which is only seven to eight centimeters. They have a vase shape. The buds are painted dark pink, with several light pink stripes. They are rounded and slightly pointed.
The flowers, on the other hand, are painted in a soft, soft pink hue, and a light, unobtrusive aroma comes from them. The flowers are densely double, they consist of a large number of petals. In total there can be 65-70. Flowers are conditionally divided into four parts, like old English roses. They are collected in inflorescences, which in appearance resemble an umbrella. On one stem, several flowers can be located at once, usually no more than five.
Rosa Maria Theresa, a photo and description of which can be found in this article, is a vigorous bush, whose height reaches 70-80 centimeters. Its width is 50 centimeters. The foliage on the bushes is dark green, it has a beautiful sheen. It contrasts beautifully with delicate flowers. This is one of the most beautiful peony roses.
The shape of the flower from above looks like a circle of perfect shape. However, rosettes in profile represent regular classic bowls. When the flower blooms, then all its petals are fully developed, which, as you know, can be very many. In a vase, a plant can live about ten days, gradually changing shape.
Nostalgic flower
Rosa Maria Theresa, whose reviews are only enthusiastic, is nostalgic. What does it mean? Until the 1860s, large and fragrant garden roses were the most popular in Europe. However, in 1867, more resistant plants were bred, which were called tea hybrid. They did not have such an interesting shape, but it was easier to care for them. Popularity passed to them. Only a century later, breeders were able to combine the beauty and practicality of different types of roses in flowers. So in the 1960s, nostalgic roses appeared, the most striking example of which is Maria Theresa.
Where to place?
Rosa Maria Theresa is literally created for group landings. As part of flower arrangements, she impresses with her health and luxury. She looks very beautiful in the gardens. Due to its appearance, the plant is widely used in landscape design. Rose is great for growing in containers. It can also be cut into vases and used as an element of the interior.
This plant combines favorably with cereal herbs. Best for these purposes is barley mane, blue fescue and Chinese miscanthus. If you correctly place the plants in the composition, you can create a weightless lace halo around the roses, thereby emphasizing their tenderness and splendor.
Care Features
Rosa Maria Theresa has a number of environmental requirements. What do gardeners who decided to grow these flowers on their site need to know?
- Rose is photophilous. Best of all, it grows and blooms in a well-lit place.
- The plant should be placed in ventilated areas open from different sides. In such places, the movement of air will dry the leaves from drops of morning dew or rain, which, in turn, will reduce the risk of various diseases.
- At the same time, the Maria Theresa rose is afraid of drafts and too cold winds. Due to the occurrence of sharp and cool blows of wind, the plant can affect aphids. This will not affect the growth rate for the better.
- Be sure to trim the bush regularly. Performing this procedure, you will provide the rose with abundant flowering, as well as the rapid growth of shoots. This will not allow the bush to grow too much. The formation of kidneys occurs on the shoots of the current year, so it is very important to trim in a timely manner.
Landing
Before you plant a plant in the soil, you need to determine its acidity. It should be well-drained soil. The planting pit should be sized so that the roots of the plant can be freely located in it. Since there is a need to create drainage, the landing depth should be at least 50 centimeters. Water must not be allowed to stagnate.
The soil mixture, which is best suited for roses, is collected from manure, a fertile layer of soil, sand and peat. Planting should be done in early May, because by this time the soil has enough time to warm up. Before planting, you need to lower the seedlings into the water. This is especially important if the root system of the plant is open. Within 4-6 hours, the seedlings should be in water.
Care
Rosa Maria Theresa, whose photo you can find in this article, needs regular top dressing, weeding and watering. Complex fertilizers are selected individually. Feeding is carried out in the spring season, as well as in the middle of summer. The plant should be watered abundantly weekly. In the spring, before the kidneys wake up, pruning is performed. In winter, roses are covered with peat, and when warming, they level the ground.
