• Evergreen shrub. They are characterized by rapid growth and long flowering period. For evergreen shrubs include Bourbon, polyanthus, chaynogibridnye, Bengal, tea and nuazetovye roses.
• With deciduous leaves before winter. These include white, damask, tsentifolnye and French roses.

An important characteristic for the queen of flowers it is double, i.e. the ability to increase the number of petals in a bud, compared with wild analogue. On the basis of this property, there are three types of plants:

• Simple.
• Semi-double.
• Terry.

The latter amount in one bud petals may number more than 150. flowers are also classified according to another characteristic - the height of the bushes:

• Fillets.
• Average height.
• Tall.
• Ground cover. In this group combined twine and undersized grade.

Roses are distinguished by color. Color bud, perhaps the most important feature when choosing which are based in the first place. In addition to these four colors, roses can be burgundy, brown, orange, violet, purple, fuchsia hue. There are several tens of special grades, in which the petals have an unusual combination of two color tones and halftones. Of great importance in the landscape design are hybrids. Artificially bred varieties by crossing introduce diversity in the garden area, thanks to an unusual form terry special or extraordinary color.

Hybrids are classified into the following groups that combine several dozen species:

• Floribunda roses. The group emerged after crossing the tea varieties and polyanthus. It includes a miniature fillets roses and bushes, reaching a height of more than 1 meter. For Floribunda characteristic "buketnye 'bloom, that is, its semi-double flower buds form a lush brush.
• Hybrid tea. They are characterized by high immunity to disease, but it is very sensitive to frost, so the bushes are grown only in the south. This group includes all grades which have been deduced on the basis of a tea rose. Their color palette starts with yellow and ends with pale orange.
• Hybrids tetracorals. They were received after the breeding experiments with rosa rugosa. The main advantage of the variety - its resistance to frost. Hybrids tetracorals unpretentious care, varied in the degree of double and often become the center of the park art. In winter, cover the plants are not needed.
• Hybrids grandiflora. Plants erect, visually reminiscent of a tea variety, but with abundant flowering buketnye like a Floribunda. Grades are not afraid frosts and long blooming.

• Polyanthus. They got as a result of cross-breeding of Chinese and Multiflora roses. Bushes have small buds, collected in the "brush". It blooms for a long time until the first frost, which, incidentally, is also not afraid. Because of its miniature polyanthus roses often adorn windowsills in the house, where are grown in pots.
• Shraby. A particular group which includes the twine and undersized grade.
• Miniature. Polyanthus vaguely resemble, but their height is less than half a meter. Grown both in open field and in pots. Long bloom until the first frost.
• Climbing. They are informally called "queens" of landscape design. Shrubs differ impressive height, because of what they need artificial support. It is easy to acquire the desired shape after the haircut, unpretentious in the care. They can be simple and terry buds.

The choice of location for planting

Immediately before purchase necessary to determine the agronomic characteristics of the bush, its size and height, flowering characteristics, double and form buds, as well as pick up the queen's neighbors, who will fill the void in rosaries. Among abundance grades recommended to select those that were obtained domestic or Dutch breeders. Seedlings should have a well-developed root system and be vaccinated at the time of purchase. Location should be chosen Solar as any queen, Rose loves to bask in the glory of universal admiration. Only a few varieties can be easily adapted in the penumbra. If the plant is not enough sun, the capricious queen begins to wither and gradually fade altogether.

Rose does not like high humidity. In place of its landing ground water should lie as far as possible, it would be preferable to opt for a rose garden hill. The soil is suitable weakly acidic or neutral. If the land on the site does not meet this requirement, the position will save the imported soil. Queen root system needs high-quality drainage system, which will save it in the rainy periods. In the open ground seedlings digged only in late spring or early summer, when the soil is well warmed up.

Rose, who appeared in the East, it takes the rising sun. Surprisingly, this need has arisen not because of anxious attachment to their historical homeland. The reason is much more prosaic: a rose covered with dew in the morning. By lunchtime it petals and leaves should be dried rising sun, as humidity will cause fungal diseases.

If the summer was very dry, you should increase at least twice the frequency of the procedure. Watering is carried out in the early morning or late evening, when heated to the ground roots of roses alive not "cooked" in boiling water. soil loosening should be carried out in a timely manner too. Root system necessarily requires access to oxygen, which covers the hard-packed ground. Perhaps mulching the soil, which prevents the growth of weeds around the rosary. Some varieties need shelter for the winter. Patients spring shoots are cut to plant it easier to expel Kripen'ka sprouts, and it was not spent juices weak. Three times during the season the flowers are sprayed with a special compound against pests and diseases.
