Exchange of experience among gardeners growing climbing roses “New Down”

Lyubov Borisovna, (Perm).

Four years ago I bought three roses at a spontaneous market. They assured me that they were different, but it turned out that they were all “New Down”. When they grew, I didn’t regret it at all. When it became clear that their height was more than two meters, fan supports were installed for them. I didn’t even remove it the first winter, the roses survived. But there were no severe frosts either.

In summer the bush grows greatly and needs to be tied up. It blooms gradually, and the flowers last for about a month. As soon as the petals wither, I immediately cut them off. Around mid-summer there is a short pause, and then flowering continues for about another month.

Now I’m not taking any risks, and I’m taking down the roses for the winter. I cover it with spanSUF. Haven't been frozen yet. Wonderful roses.

Valentina, (township Znamenskoye, Krasnodar region).

It so happened that first they planted a rose, and then installed a gazebo with openwork walls. Now our New Down found itself in a rarefied shadow. But this did not affect flowering in any way. We've had Rose for five years. Last year it rained for a long time, I was afraid that the bush would die, but it survived, and the bad weather did not affect it in any way. Other roses are covered with powdery rose, but this one is alive, as if nothing had happened. I’ve probably never seen such a resistant variety.

Raisa,(Dubok village, Leningrad region).

In the winter of 2016, when the frost was 28 0 for several days, I did not notice that the dog was agitated covered roses. New Down suffered the most. I returned the shelter, but I don’t know how long the bushes stood without protection. In the spring I waited with bated breath to see how the sufferers overwintered. Everything turned out to be fine, only the upper branches were frozen. In mid-June the first flowers appeared.

Katerina, (Fedory village, Belarus).

On the advice of a neighbor, I bought an unusually delicate rose light color, turned out to be "New Down". While the bush was small, it grew on its own. When it was time to tie him up, I realized that he was prickly, like a hedgehog. But it still needs to be removed for the winter.

The flowers are pearly pink, cupped, semi-double, fading to pinkish cream, with bright gold stamens in the center. The rose can be grown as a loose fountain-shaped bush, but due to its incredible growth vigor, the rose is more often grown as a climbing rose. It is especially good when planted near a tree, when the vines are allowed to hang gracefully from the branches. Thanks to its hardiness, it is an excellent variety for difficult places.

Choosing a landing site

The dense foliage of roses and numerous flowers not only provide an aesthetic decoration to the garden, but can also disguise not so beautiful buildings. In general, planting the New Down bush near the walls will do an excellent job of vertical gardening.

The planting site for the future bush should be well lit and protected from the wind. It is advisable to choose light soil. If a plant is planted to hide a wall, the planting hole should be placed 50-60 centimeters from it to protect the roots from drying out. Since these varieties are not pruned before winter frosts, it is necessary to foresee in advance those places where the vines need to be laid in the fall.

If the New Down bush is planted under a support, the hole should be placed 20 centimeters from it, and the roots should be placed opposite the support, and the bush itself should be tilted towards it.
Experts do not advise planting the bush in places where the rose has already grown, since the soil in these places is depleted and there is a high probability of the presence of pests. If garden plot small, and problems arise with the new place; you need to remove a layer of earth (50-60 centimeters) from the old place and replace it with a new one.

Climbing roses are best planted in spring (preferably from April 20 to May 20), or in autumn (from September 1 to October 10). Naturally, the landing will be more successful, since the weather will make it easier to control the result. But a plus autumn planting is the faster development of cuttings in the spring.

The bush, which is planted against the wall, straightens out in the shape of a fan. This allows for improved air access, and side shoots will begin to develop more actively;
If a pole acts as a support, the branches are wound onto it in the form of a spiral;
When planting roses near a trellis, it is best to place them horizontally so that the side shoots rise upward and the flowers can be evenly distributed throughout the bush;

It is better to use twine for garter, as it does not pull on the delicate stems.
Preparing the bush for the winter: in areas where the winter is severely frosty, you need to cover the rose. First you need to remove it from the support and remove all the leaves. In order for the rose to bloom fully in the future, you need to check the integrity of each shoot. If there are more than 10 shoots, then all those that have been growing for more than 3 years, as well as sick and weak ones, need to be cut out. If there are less than 10 shoots, pruning is not carried out.

All the lashes need to be tied and bent to the ground (being careful not to break), securing them with pegs. Next, the bush must be hilled up and sprinkled with earth or sand. It is not advisable to take soil near the place of plant germination, as the roots may open. After all the steps taken, everything needs to be covered with film.
