Rose Remy Martin

general characteristics

Roses are an integral decoration of parks and gardens

These flowers belong to a large group of roses, including the following varieties:

• cultivated rose hips
• centifolia rose
• moss rose

This is a combination of the exquisite beauty of garden species and the unpretentious nature of plants growing in the wild.

all divided into the following subgroups:

• rose hip
• old garden varieties
• modern hybrids

In shape, the plant is a bush with strong shoots and reaching a height of 1-1.5 m, a diameter of 0.8-1.2 m. It is also erect, voluminous and with a dense leafy part. Some roses are related to climbing species.

Roses bloom profusely and for quite a long time (up to 2 months). Flowering can be one-time or repeated. The beginning falls at the end of May - beginning of June.

Inflorescence color: from white to dark purple, sometimes yellow or orange. The flowers come in varying degrees of terry and emit a strong, very pleasant aroma.

A combination of exquisite beauty and unpretentious character

The foliage of the plant is large, shiny, leathery, and disease resistant.

Roses have a very long root system (up to 2 m). This must be kept in mind when choosing a planting location. Also, this place should have a slight slope to drain excess water and be well lit in the morning and shaded in the afternoon and afternoon.

Roses belonging to park species are unpretentious, easy to plant and care for. But there are nuances. In the places where they grow, there should be no north and northeast winds and no high groundwater levels. Drafts and excess moisture adversely affect plant growth.

The soil should be loose and nutritious. A high humus content is desirable, PH 6-7. The best option would be loamy soil.

Varieties that bloom once are well resistant to cold weather. They do not require winterization.

Repeatedly flowering varieties are divided into types:

• very winter-hardy (scrubs)
• with medium durability
• frost-resistant with mandatory bending and shelter for the winter period

Advantages

Long duration and colorful flowering

The main advantages of park roses are:

• long duration and colorful flowering
• good endurance to the Russian climate
• wide range of species
• the ability to decorate and enliven the landscape in any design design
• good degree of resistance to diseases and pests

Flaws

Even with shortcomings, the love of flower growers does not decrease

The disadvantages include:

• poor tolerance of some varieties to winter without preparation
• demanding for proper watering and care
• the need to divide the bush after 4-5 years

English park rose

English park roses, as the name implies, were bred in the country of the same name at the end of the twentieth century as a result of complex crossing. They are also called “Austins” - named after the creator, breeder David Austin.

Most of them belong to the class of scrubs; they combine a beautiful bush and flower shape, bright intense aromas, and abundant continuous or repeated flowering. These are mainly spreading plants of medium height, densely covered with heavy flowers, although under different climatic conditions the same variety can exhibit different properties.

As a rule, all varieties of English park roses are undemanding in terms of care and soil, but do not tolerate prolonged wet weather well and can be affected by pests. Varieties with densely double and pompom flowers suffer especially from rains - due to the abundance of delicate petals, they simply do not have enough strength to bloom and they rot.

History of creation and description of the variety

The Remy Martin variety appeared thanks to the fruitful work carried out by breeder Rene Royon. It was developed in France in the last century, namely in 1995. Other names of the culture: STARqueli, Magic Lantern.

The noble plant belongs to the floribunda group. This perennial looks very elegant: just imagine a stately shrub from 1.5 to 1.8 meters in height, with branched, thornless shoots and dense, dark green foliage with a semi-glossy sheen. The crown of the rose in girth is no more than a meter. In spring, the crop acquires pointed, elongated buds consisting of 25-35 petals. When they bloom, they turn into double, cup-shaped flowers with a diameter of 6 to 8 cm, copper-golden in color with apricot notes. During the flowering period, the outer flower petals acquire a pinkish color. The flowers of this plant can be either single or formed in inflorescences of 2–5 pieces. They emit a fairly intense, but at the same time pleasant, soft and unobtrusive aroma. The flowering of the crop is long, abundant, and repeated. It begins in May and lasts about three weeks.

The beautiful floribunda is practically not susceptible to fungal and bacterial diseases. True, its resistance to powdery mildew is somewhat higher than to black spot. The lush flowers of the graceful Remy Martin do not lose their impeccable appearance under the influence of rain. In the sun, the petals of a cheerful rose do not fade or bake. The variety has average winter hardiness: it can withstand frosts down to -23ºС. For this reason, the rose needs shelter with the onset of cold weather.

Features when planting

Gorgeous flowering in comfortable conditions

For comfortable growth, full development, and abundant flowering, the rose must be planted in an area with good ventilation and without drafts. In addition, this flower loves the sun very much.

It, of course, can grow in a dark place, but with poor flowering. For this reason, it is not recommended to plant the plant near large trees or tall buildings that will shade it.

As for the soil, the rose is not particularly capricious in this regard.

Any composition is suitable for it. But the best option would be to use clay soil with a high humus content.

Also important is good oxygen saturation of the soil. For heavy soil, peat or compost is added to improve it. But everything is good in moderation. Too light soil is not suitable. Then it is fertilized with manure or turf soil.

Transplanting a rose with installing a trellis

Direct disembarkation process:

• A hole is dug. Its depth should be such that the root system of the rose is freely located in it
• Compost soil is poured at the bottom. Bone meal is added to it. You will need to feed the plant only after a year.
• Next is the seedling. Its roots should not bend upward. You also need to monitor the location of the root collar. It should be a few centimeters deep
• The hole is filled in and compacted
• The seedling needs to be watered

When planted in autumn, the rose is prepared for the upcoming cold snap. For this purpose, high mounds are made. The opening of the seedling takes place in early April.

Features of agricultural technology

Remy Martin prefers sunny places, but also grows well in partial shade. It is advisable to place it in an open space where there is good air circulation. This will help avoid the occurrence of diseases on the plant and reduce the risk of attack by insect pests.

The decorative perennial is demanding on soil quality. It should be planted in loose, moderately moist, fertile soil with a slightly acidic reaction and good drainage. It is in such a substrate that the crop will grow well and bloom luxuriantly. The pit for planting the plant is prepared in advance. It should be deep enough so that the roots of the seedling can be freely located in the hole. It is advisable to add organic fertilizer to the planting hole: compost or rotted manure. Floribunda is planted in the spring, and the root collar should be 4-5 cm below the soil level.

You definitely need to take care of your rose. For Remy Martin, regular watering, fertilizing, pruning, preventive spraying with a solution of insecticide and fungicide, loosening the soil under the bush and mulching are important. Water the plant 1-2 times a week. Consumption of soft, warm water for an adult crop: 1.5-2 buckets. Fertilizers are applied to the flower up to 4 times a year. With the arrival of spring, when the buds on the plant begin to swell, it is fed with saltpeter. During the budding phase, preference is given to fertilizer with a large amount of phosphorus in the composition. After the first flowering, phosphorus-potassium concentrate is added. Finally, in late autumn the plant is fed with potassium fertilizer.

It is necessary to loosen the soil under the bush only after watering, but not immediately, but at least after a day. Then it is mulched with sawdust, humus or peat. Do not neglect timely pruning of Remy Martin. This procedure is indicated for decorative perennials from the third year of life. In the spring, weak and dead shoots are removed, and up to 9 stems are left from the strong ones. In the fall, all the branches of the plant are cut off somewhat, then the rose is covered with dry soil and covered for the winter. Treatment with special preparations in order to prevent the appearance of harmful insects and diseases is required for the plant three times during the growing season.

All the nuances of proper care

When working, protective equipment is required to avoid injury.

The autumn period, namely the first half of autumn, is the best time to plant park-type roses. The plant will have time to create new roots before the onset of cold weather. This will greatly help him to develop well with the onset of spring. It is advisable that the soil be prepared in advance, half a month before planting.

During the first 3 years, the rose is provided with the following care:

• the soil around the bush is often loosened
• fertilizing is applied using special fertilizers (3-4 times during the summer season)
• In autumn, manure is applied as fertilizer
• in spring (from May to June), to stimulate the growth of new side shoots, the stems are sprayed (2-3 times)

It is at this time that the main stems of the plant are formed and a strong root system is formed. Therefore, careful care is required.

Correctly made cut

The best time to trim shoots is spring. This is an extremely necessary procedure. But for the first 2 years it is not carried out. Next, the rose is given the shape of a bowl. To do this, only weak and sluggish shoots are removed.

Over time, the bush grows greatly and loses its grooming, which complicates its care. This problem is solved by pruning. This allows you to rejuvenate the plant. In autumn, all the oldest and non-flowering branches, as well as most of the small growth, are cut off.

When working with roses, protective equipment is required, because... they are prickly. Gardening gloves and a canvas apron will prevent possible skin damage.

Preparing for winter

Additional shelter can protect against serious temperature changes

The thoroughness of preparation for the winter period depends on the climate and the selected variety. A mature bush is quite resistant to low temperatures and therefore does not particularly require additional shelter. The situation is different with young plants.

They are covered for the winter by performing the following steps:

• earth is piled up at the base of the bush
• branches are wrapped in craft paper (preferably there are several layers)

This work will protect the young plant from serious temperature changes, which will enable it to overwinter safely.

Diseases and pests

Black spot

The most common diseases and pests of roses include:

• Black spot

A common problem that gardeners face when growing roses. This disease is caused by the fungus Diplocarpon rosae. It develops in warm and humid conditions. At first, the manifestations are invisible. But when the first spots appear, it is necessary to take immediate action, because the fungus spreads very quickly (spores are produced every 3 weeks).

Indicators of damage are small black spots on the foliage. They are gradually growing. The foliage first acquires a yellow tint along the edges, and then completely turns yellow and flies off. Rose is dying.

To cure this disease, it is necessary to treat the bush 3 times per season. For this purpose, drugs based on the fungicide mancozeb or triazole are used. For the winter, all foliage is removed and burned. The soil is treated with a product containing copper. This will help kill the fungus, which can survive the winter and come back to life as the weather warms up.

• Cercospora (grayish spotting)

Cercospora

The cause of the disease is the fungus Cercospora rosicola. It also appears on the foliage in a large number of dark spots. Later they acquire a purple halo, and in the middle they become grayish. Then the leaves die.

For treatment, the bush is treated with a systemic fungicide, and diseased leaves are removed. In preparation for winter, the green mass is destroyed and the soil is treated with a copper-containing preparation.

After cutting, diseased parts are not suitable for composting. This is a big risk for other plants.

• Rust

Rust

The cause is the fungus Phragmidium, which is favored by warm and humid weather conditions.

The manifestation of the disease varies. It depends on the stage of development of the fungus:

• April - May - the deciduous part and shoots are affected by yellow-orange growths (tubercles), the branches become twisted and dry out
• July - the reverse side of the leaves becomes covered with small rusty-brown blisters (pustules), then the foliage acquires a yellow-red hue, the branches become thick, cracked and dusty with spores
• August - September - winter spores begin to form in the bubbles, and black spots appear on the foliage. Later she crumbles all over

For medicinal purposes, damaged parts are cut off and destroyed in fire. The shrub is treated with a fungicide, and to prevent the onset of heat, foliar feeding and spraying of the crown are carried out. For this, 0.3% solutions of potassium nitrate or superphosphate extract are used.

To prepare the hood you will need:

• double superphosphate – 100 g
• water – 1 l

Superphosphate is poured with hot water, mixed and boiled for 30 minutes with constant stirring. Next, the mixture is cooled and filtered using thick gauze.

• Powdery mildew

Powdery mildew

The source is the fungus Sphaerotheca pannosa. It grows well under hot, dry daytime and cool, humid nighttime conditions.

The disease manifests itself in the form of wrinkling and curling of leaf blades and a white coating of mold on the stems.

The scourge will not develop if the seedling is planted in an area with good ventilation. During the treatment period, the plant is not fed and is pollinated 2-3 times with ash. Also used for processing are 1% Bordeaux mixture and 0.4% oxychloride solution. There may be other fungicides with similar effects.

• Bacterial cancer

Bacterial cancer

A dangerous disease caused by the bacterium Agrobacterium tumefaciens. Because of it, the rose cannot absorb moisture and nutrients. This impairs development. Leads to death.

The pathogen enters through wounds formed after cutting, breaking branches, and also from carelessness during replanting. This manifests itself in the form of pale growths. They have a round shape. Appear in the area of ​​the root collar. During development, the growths become larger in size, tougher and spread to the trunks and roots.

An infected plant cannot be treated. It is dug up and burned. The soil also becomes contaminated and cannot be used to grow other vegetation for 5 years.

To avoid problems, pruners and knives are treated with a 1% solution of potassium permanganate before the cutting procedure. Also, purchased seedlings are carefully inspected.

• Rezucha mosaic virus

Rezucha mosaic virus

Cannot be transmitted between plants. The method of propagation is vegetative propagation. The Arabis mosaic virus (ArMV) virus appears in the form of small yellow spots on the leaves, which subsequently expand and form into a mosaic image.

The disease has no cure. Affected areas are cut off and burned. For precautionary purposes, garden tools used for pruning and other work are disinfected.

• Garden beetle (Phyllopertha horticola)

Garden beetle

This scourge is dangerous for roses, many fruit and berry crops, and the lawn. This is a large beetle with a shiny back. The buds and foliage of plants are eaten.

If there is a small amount of the pest, it is collected by hand and destroyed. Everything is carefully inspected for the presence of larvae. In case of severe reproduction, contact insecticidal preparations are used.

• Green rose aphid (Macrosiphum rosae)

Green rose aphid

It is also a pest of the entire garden. Represents an insect. It looks fragile. It has a soft green, brown or black color. Can suck all the juice out of a rose. It is also a carrier of infections.

Affected plants are immediately visible. Aphids cling to the reverse side of foliage, crowns, and unopened inflorescences, leading to their deformation.

To combat the parasite, it is collected manually and destroyed. When widespread, the plant is treated with insecticides.

Attracting ladybugs to your garden plot will help in preventive measures. They are the enemies of this insect.

• Weevil (Curculionidae)

Weevil

Another name for an elephant. It damages leaves on which gnawed arched holes form, as well as buds on the petals of which torn holes remain. Damage is also caused to the root system. The insect uses plant buds to lay eggs.

As measures against the pest, its larvae and adults are collected and destroyed, and the crown is treated with insecticides with a wide spectrum of effects.

• Rose sawfly (Arge ochropus)

rose sawfly

To lay eggs, the caterpillar cuts the foliage of the plant. The pulp of young branches is used as food. Later they acquire a dark shade and dry out. The foliage of the plant is also eaten. This affects how it grows, leading to its deformation and weakening.

The insect is a small pale green caterpillar.

As a treatment, the damaged areas are cut off. The plant is treated with contact insecticides. Digging up the soil under the bush in the autumn will help destroy insects that have settled there for the winter.

To summarize

Undoubtedly, park roses will become a particularly colorful decoration of any territory. They have a wide variety of varieties. There is an ideal option for all flower growers. In addition, the flower does not require much time to care for itself.

The main thing is to properly care for it and carry out preventive procedures in a timely manner to prevent problems with pests and diseases. Following the instructions will allow you to grow a real highlight of any area in the form of a strong, beautiful rose bush.
