The resistance to diseases of the Anastasia rose is average. The variety is resistant to rain and is frost-resistant. However, it is recommended to cover the hybrid tea rose for the winter, especially in regions with harsh winters.
Features of cultivation
Most the right time Anastasia's roses are planted in April-May, when the ground is well warmed up. The landing site should be well lit, ventilated, and protected from drafts. The flower prefers fertile, slightly acidic, loose soil. It is not recommended to plant a rose next to bushes; trees should be at a distance of 2-3 m from it. To plant a flower you should;
- prepare a hole so that the roots are freely located in it;
- pour drainage material onto the bottom;
- Place nutritious soil mixture on top;
- place the seedling in water for a while;
- poisoning the roots, lower it into the hole, after dipping it in a clay mash. The grafting site should go 3-4 cm below ground level;
- cover, compacting, with fertile soil;
- water. If the soil has settled after watering, add new soil.
It is better to plant a rose in evening time on cloudy days. Equally important regular care, especially during the first time after landing.
In order for the Anastasia rose to bloom profusely and its buds not to decrease due to lack of moisture, it must be watered regularly. Once every 7-12 days, about 10 liters of warm water should be poured under the bush. Better to use rainwater, since it does not contain chemical substances. In extreme heat, it is worth watering twice a week.
When a dry crust of earth forms around the bush, the soil must be loosened to a depth of 5 cm. It is also important to remove weeds. To avoid damaging the roots and base of the bush, it is recommended to remove them manually. If you sprinkle the ground around the plant with wood shavings, the growth of weeds will slow down. In addition, the shavings delay the evaporation of moisture.
For better education New shoots and active growth should be fertilized with nitrogen in the spring. In the summer, the rose is fertilized with potassium-phosphorus preparations, which increase immunity, winter hardiness and resistance to diseases. It is good to use organic matter for feeding.
It is important to constantly inspect the rose for the appearance of pests and diseases. If symptoms indicating infection appear, the plant should be urgently treated with drugs intended to treat and combat harmful insects. Should be carried out periodically preventive treatment bush and soil around.
The Anastasia variety is pruned in spring and autumn. During spring pruning, frozen and diseased shoots are removed, healthy shoots are shortened to 15-20 cm. Autumn pruning falls on the month of September-October. The stems are trimmed slightly, the cutting height should be half a meter from the ground. Dry and damaged branches are removed. In addition, pruning a rose makes it possible to form correct form bush. Do not prune in rain or cold weather. Circumcision tools must be sharp and disinfected.
Although the hybrid tea rose Anastasia is frost-resistant, with the arrival of winter it should be protected from cold winds and severe frosts. Therefore, shelter is necessary. To do this, the bush is hilled, covered with spruce branches and covering non-woven material.
At good care Anastasia rose will constantly delight with her gorgeous flowering. It is good both for decorating the garden and for growing in greenhouses. A cut flower stays in a vase for a long time, filling the room with a light fruity aroma.
ROSE ANASTASIA (ANASTASIA rose):
Rose Anastasia is a hybrid tea variety. Its description is known to almost all gardeners who prefer white-flowered varieties of ornamental crops.
Characteristics of the variety
The Anastasia rose bush reaches a height of 1.1 m and a width of 0.9 m. The shoots are powerful, strong, straight-growing, with slight thorniness. The foliage is quite dense, glossy, dark green. Flowering is abundant and long lasting. The flowers are large, 10–11 cm in diameter, double, consisting of 40–45 petals, collected in racemes or arranged singly on shoots. The aroma is very subtle and delicate, with notes of ripe pear. The buds are classic goblet-shaped, white with a subtle pink tint. Characteristic feature variety is the slow opening of buds.

Rosa Anastasia has average immunity to disease and fairly high frost resistance, and can also easily tolerate long rainy periods. According to experts, in regions with severe frosts and insufficient snow cover, the variety needs shelter on winter period . For growing Anastasia roses, it is necessary to allocate well-lit areas.
Features of cultivation
When planting seedlings of this variety, it is necessary to deepen the grafting site by 7–8 cm. The flowering of hybrid tea roses begins in the last ten days of June and lasts until the autumn cold snap, and the undulation of this process determines the almost continuous formation of flowers and the high decorativeness of the plant.

Pruning is carried out in spring, summer and autumn. Spring pruning is the most significant and directly affects the formation of the bush. It should be carried out immediately after removing the winter shelter or during spring planting. The strongest shoots should be shortened to 10–15 cm, leaving no more than 2–3 well-formed buds on them. Also, when growing, the following care measures should be taken:
- watering with warm water at the root (5–6 liters of water for each plant) 2 times a month;
- shallow loosening after watering and rain, preventing the formation of a soil crust;
- maintaining clean soil around the bush and systematically removing weeds;
- feeding in spring period nitrogen fertilizers that stimulate the formation of new shoots and active growth of green mass;
- application in summer phosphorus-potassium fertilizers, which have a positive effect on winter hardiness and disease resistance;
- systematic examination of rose bushes and, if necessary, application of the most effective treatment regimen.
Hybrid tea roses do not have absolute resistance to severe winter frosts, so from late autumn they need high-quality shelter, for which it is advisable to use spruce branches and non-woven breathable material.
Reasons for wilting of hybrid tea roses
Hybrid tea varieties very responsive to fertilizing and irrigation measures, which is due to their botanical characteristics. The duration of rose flowering depends on the development of new shoots, as buds form on them. Feeding the bushes must be supplemented with watering: they are vital decorative culture at all stages of the growing season. Lack of moisture often leads to cessation of shoot growth, wilting and shedding of foliage.
Insufficient watering provoke the crushing of flowers and the loss of decorativeness by the rose bush. If a lack of moisture is observed during the bud formation phase, then it is very difficult to correct the situation, so the opened flowers will have a faded appearance and an asymmetrical shape. When the season is too hot and dry, water rose bushes should be done weekly, using about a bucket of water for each plant. Too frequent but insufficient irrigation leads to the development of a superficial root system that is easily damaged when loosened.
Bushes hybrid tea rose often wither and as a result of damage by pests or diseases: black leaf spot, rust and powdery mildew. At viral diseases flowering decreases, plant growth and development slow down, and wilting occurs. Preventive measures include thorough disinfection gardening tools and treatment of plants with modern chemicals.
Flower growers characterize the Anastasia rose as a good cut variety with high vase resistance. This is an elegant plant with large white flowers that turn a light cream color when the weather gets colder.
When growing this variety, it should be remembered that a slight excess of phosphorus-potassium fertilizers does not cause harm to the rose and increases its resistance to pathogenic microflora, as well as winter hardiness. But an excess of nitrogen-containing fertilizers often causes loss of winter hardiness and damage to the bush by fungal infections.

The structure of the bud is semi-double: the rose petals range from 20 to 40. While the bud has not yet fully opened, the petals may have a pinkish or creamy tint (see photo)
The aroma of flowers is delicate, notes of blossoming pear are detected. The flowering period is long and includes two phases. The variety has average resistance to diseases, including fungus. However, the rose is resistant to rain and cold. In winter it requires obligatory shelter.
Application
Initially it was assumed that this variety would be grown for cutting purposes, for bouquets. But over time, having seen the magnificent flowering of the shrub, many gardeners began to grow roses to decorate the garden landscape.
However, the variety continues to be used for cutting: Anastasia is excellent, including for wedding bouquets. Cut flowers can stand for up to two weeks, opening gradually. In the garden, the bush, thanks to its compactness and spectacular appearance, looks great both alone and in groups.
Growing conditions
Let's find out where to plant this rose and in what conditions to grow it.
Location and lighting
Plant the shrub in an area with good lighting, open, but protected from the north from the wind. You should not plant the flower close to other shrubs or trees: leave a distance of at least 2-3 meters between them.
Temperature and humidity
The variety is cold-resistant, but in our climate the rose should be covered for the winter in any case: it will not survive severe frosts.
Priming
The plant will perform best in fertile, loose, slightly acidic soil.
Landing Features
- Select a seedling with well-developed roots for planting. Such a specimen will quickly take root and begin to actively grow.
- Planting is carried out in April-May depending on weather and climatic conditions. By this time, the earth should already be warmed up at least 8-12 cm deep. Autumn planting It is permissible only in the south, since there the plant has time to take root before frost.
- It is recommended to plant in the evening, when the sun is already so intense.
- The seedling should be buried so that its root collar goes 3-4 cm underground.
- Before planting, soak the roots of the seedling in a stimulant solution. The measure will help the plant take root in the ground much faster.
- At the bottom of the planting hole, do not forget to lay a drainage layer of coarse sand or expanded clay, crushed stone. This will protect the roots from becoming waterlogged.
- It is recommended to mulch the root circle after planting the rose so that the roots do not dry out and weeds do not grow in the garden bed.
Care
We will learn further how to properly care for the Anastasia rose.
Watering
This plant needs to moisten the soil regularly. If the substrate is allowed to dry out, this fact will lead to the loss of decorativeness by the shrub: its buds may thin out and become shredded, and the leaves will wither.
Watering is done once every 7-12 days (depending on the weather), a bucket of water is consumed per bush per procedure. By the way, the water temperature should be warm or closer to room temperature, but not cold. If the heat is very strong, let's say watering twice a week. Experienced gardeners It is recommended to use rainwater for watering the plant, as it is soft and free of impurities.
Loosening
If after watering or rain a dried hard crust has formed on the surface of the soil, it must be broken. The procedure will open access to air to the roots and increase the permeability of the substrate. Loosening depth is about 5 cm.
Weeding
In order for the Anastasia rose to feel good and be supplied with all nutrients and not get sick, weeds must be removed from the garden bed. Perform the procedure manually so as not to damage nearby roots.
Mulching
A highly desirable procedure, since mulching slows down the growth of weeds and helps retain moisture in the soil. We recommend using wood shavings or dry sawdust as mulch.
Top dressing
Additional nutrition is very important for the plant, since during the growing season it spends a lot of energy. In the spring, you need to add nitrogen so that the bush quickly grows lush greenery: new shoots and foliage.
In summer, the emphasis is on potassium and phosphorus to ensure a longer and more lush flowering period. In addition, potassium phosphate fertilizers are also useful before wintering, since they help improve immunity and increase the plant’s cold resistance. It is recommended to use organic matter as fertilizer.
Trimming
This procedure is supposed to be carried out in spring and autumn. In the spring, shoots that did not survive the winter, diseased and damaged shoots are removed. And healthy branches also need to be shortened by 15-20 cm.
In the fall, in September-October, the shoots should be cut off slightly, but it is imperative to remove weak, non-lignified shoots at the root, as well as broken, dry shoots.
Proper pruning makes it possible to form a beautiful bush, blooming densely. In cold and damp weather, the procedure should not be carried out: wait until it warms up.
Diseases
Powdery mildew affects this rose more often than other diseases. Regular spraying with soda solution serves as a preventive measure against dangerous fungus. It is best to start spraying in the spring, as soon as the leaves begin to appear.
Shelter
Despite the cold resistance of the variety, the rose must be covered for the winter in our country, except in the southern regions. Hybrid tea roses are quite capable of withstanding temperatures down to -10 degrees, but with further drops they need protection.
Remove any old mulch from under the plant and add a fresh layer if necessary. The bush is hilled around the perimeter to protect the roots, and then covered on top with spruce branches, film or non-woven material.
A bouquet is a delicate matter; it needs to be selected according to the occasion. For example, white roses captivate us at first sight, because white is the color of purity and innocence. White petals can be compared to a bride’s outfit, so during weddings, varieties with white petals are in greatest demand. It is precisely this delicate whiteness that distinguishes Anastasia.
History of creation
