The advantages of this variety include a pleasant aroma, as well as its high marketability. No pronounced disadvantages were found, except that if the rose grows in the shade, the flowers turn out to be small.

Growing Chippendale roses

When growing Chippendale floribunda roses, you must be guided by the following conditions when choosing a site for planting:

• solar activity should be abundant, shade during the day is permissible, but only if it is short-lived;
• It is advisable that during the flowering period of the plant the temperature does not fall below +15^O, and humidity did not exceed 60%;
• it is desirable that the soil has a neutral acidity level, and is neither too acidic nor too alkaline;
• you need to choose an area with a light soil substrate that would conduct moisture and air well, while the nutritional value of the substrate does not play a significant role;
• groundwater should be located at some distance from the surface, since the abundance of moisture in the soil will cause rotting of the plant roots.

Preparing for landing

It is recommended to purchase rose seedlings in specialized places. Before the seedling is planted, it must be placed in water for exactly one day. Following this, the shoot is cut so that the length of the material is 30 centimeters. Just before planting, the roots of the seedling are protected from rotting by sprinkling with ash.

It is also necessary to prepare the plant holes, this must be done a week before the Chippendale seedlings are placed in the ground. The size of each of these holes should be 40 centimeters. It is necessary to dig out the soil from them and mix with humus.

Planting a rose

Plants of this variety are directly planted in mid-May, an alternative time is the end of October. First of all, you need to pour a small amount of soil onto the bottom of the hole, so that a mound is formed. Next, the seedling is placed vertically in the hole, its roots must be straightened.

After the Chippendale roses have already been planted, it is necessary to mulch the soil and water the plants.

Further flower care

Caring for roses must be carried out in compliance with the rules that are set out below..

Watering, weeding and loosening

Watering of plants of this variety should be differentiated. If the bush was recently planted, then it needs an abundance of moisture.If the plant has been growing in a given place for a long time, then watering is done once a week. One bush needs ten liters of heated, but not hot water.

The optimal time of day to perform this procedure is evening, since evaporation is less intense during this period. If we talk about the seasons, then Chippendale requires the least volume of liquid in the fall. At the same time, just before the arrival of cold weather, it is necessary to water abundantly in order to supply the bushes with moisture.

Likewise, it is necessary to regularly loosen the bushes, and the weeds growing next to them need to be weeded.

Feeding scheme

In the first year, it is recommended to fertilize with one of two formulations. Either they add mullein, which is diluted in a ratio of one part to six parts of water, or poultry, for example, chicken droppings, in which case one part of it is dissolved in 15 parts of water.

After the first year, fertilizing is carried out taking into account the condition of the soil. It is recommended to apply nitrogen in the spring, and phosphorus and potassium in the fall..

Trimming

Pruning of roses is carried out in the fall, in October-November, in order to prepare for wintering, or in the spring, before its buds swell. This operation is performed when the sky is clear and there is no precipitation.

You need to take a pruner and disinfect it in potassium permanganate. Next, the shoots that are located five millimeters above the developed bud are trimmed. The cut itself should be at an angle of 45^O to the direction of stem growth. Pruning involves removing branches that are damaged or growing poorly, creating shade and inhibiting the growth of others.

Shoots one year old are shortened by a third, and at two years old - by three or four buds.

Preparing for winter

Before wintering, young plants must be covered with spruce branches.For old Chippendale bushes, this measure is required if the area experiences severe winters. Another element of preparation is fertilizing with phosphorus and potassium using monophosphate or superphosphate.

Fighting diseases and insects

Plants of the Chippendale variety suffer from rust pathology and fungal diseases. In order to combat diseases, the plant must be sprayed with Bordeaux mixture or copper sulfate.

Among the insects that this variety of rose suffers from are spider mites, rose sawflies and aphids. The rose sawfly must be sprayed with the insecticide Iskra, and both standard laundry soap and products such as Actellik and Aktar will help against aphids.

Rose breeding

Self-propagation of roses is not recommended for amateurs who are not willing to spend a large amount of time on cultivation, since seedlings are much easier to buy in specialized places.

Problems that may arise during cultivation

The problems that a grower may encounter are described above. When planted in a shady location, the flowers will grow small. The plant also suffers from some diseases and insects.
