History of occurrence
Rosa Golden Gate appeared in 2005. Belongs to the Cordes family of roses grown in the nursery of William Cordes I. Now the company "William Cordes and Sons" sells more than two million roses worldwide every year.
What is the difference from the rest of the species?
A distinctive feature of this species is its multiple shoots growing up to 4 meters high. Stamina stands out. Rose is frost-resistant, grows and multiplies rapidly.
Bloom
- When and how. Representatives of this species bloom profusely and for a long time. At this time, the peduncle has 5-10 flowers at once. The rose begins to bloom in the first half of summer and lasts for 30-35 days.
- Care before and after flowering. During the flowering of water, a rose needs 3-4 times more than before flowering. From the moment buds appear, the plant is watered every 10-12 days.
- What to do if it does not bloom. Flowering is absent, most likely due to depletion of the soil. Then you should do fertilizing. Also, the cause may be a large number of overgrown sucking nutrients. Then the root shoot is cut near the ground. Other reasons:
- wrong fertilizers;
- illnesses;
- wrong landing place;
- and poor wintering of these plants.
Care
Seat selection
Roses should be in the area fully lit in the afternoon. Leaf dew will be dried by the sun. This minimizes the risk of possible fungal diseases. However, the site should not be 100% open, otherwise the sun may cause burns to the petals and leaves. The place should not be wet, the plant does not like it.
What should be the soil?
When planting, the places of the former planting of roses are not desirable. If it is not possible to select another site, soil is replaced with a depth of up to 50 cm. In central Russia, it is more appropriate to plant roses in the spring, with soil warmed up to 10-12 degrees, before budding. Based on the soil type, a specific soil mixture is prepared.
Landing
- Before planting, the rose is immersed in water for 1-2 hours.
- At the same time, they dig a landing hole. The pit should be deep enough so that the roots fit completely without breaking or bending.
- After this, the seedling is placed on the surface of the earthen mound, which is made in the pit.
- Then the rhizomes are straightened.
- The hole is filled with soil and rammed.
- Around the roses form a small shaft, abundantly watered.
- After absorbing water, the earth is loosened and the plant is spudded to a height of 15 cm.
Temperature
Vegetation of roses and sap flow in their stems occurs at a temperature of +3 degrees.
With a stable minus temperature of -3 - -4 degrees, the plants are covered.Watering
Roses need daily moisture for the first 3-4 years. Adult roses are less likely to experience drought, since their rhizomes are deep in the ground. Watering them should be carried out weekly, spending one bucket of water per bush.
Top dressing
When planting in properly prepared soil one year after planting, top dressing is not required. Then, for 2 years, the rose is fed with slurry.
Pruning
Pruning is carried out with the onset of 2-3 years from the time of planting, when the rose reaches a height of 2 m. To preserve the abundance of flowers, when flowering ends, shoots from the sides are cut so that 3-5 buds remain.
How to tie a plant?
A rose with a stable support can climb walls. This requires a garter. With the horizontal direction of the lashes, a large number of flowers can be expected. The more horizontal the shoots are directed, the better the flowering.
Transfer
It is best to transplant roses in early autumn. At the same time, seedlings take root before winter.
Preparation for winter
These roses are prepared for winter starting in the summer. From mid-July, top dressing is changing. In spring, roses feed on nitrogen fertilizers for good growth and shoot development, and in autumn they are provided with potash and phosphorus fertilizers. If you continue to grow shoots, then when frozen they freeze. And when the thaw begins to rot, harming the entire bush.
Potassium helps the aging of wood, increases its strength, causes the strengthening of the rootspreparing for wintering. Thanks to phosphorus, future pink buds and buds are laid, rhizomes become stronger. So we aim the development of the plant not to new shoots, but to improve those that have already appeared. And roses begin to prepare for winter time. The time of the last feeding is the beginning of September. After this time, the plant will complete preparation for harsh conditions.
Reproduction: step by step instructions
Golden Gate climbing roses can be propagated using green cuttings:
- The shoot is cut, and cuttings with three buds are cut from its middle.
- Under the kidney, the cuttings located below, obliquely cut its surface (at an angle of 45 degrees), and above the kidney located above, cut the surface directly.
- Complete removal of the lower leaf of the cuttings and shortening of the upper leaves by two-thirds.
- Cuttings are cut before the shoots begin to bloom, when the buds are stained, but not later. If you cut the cuttings later, the degree to which they take root is reduced. And they will take root longer.
- Rooting cuttings can occur both in water and in soil.
Diseases and Pests
Aphids and spider mites may appear on this plant. Soapy water will help against aphids. At the same time, the soap chopped with a grater is poured into the container, adding water, then insist. After that, filter and spray the rose. If the treatment has not destroyed all the pests, insecticides are used (it should be sunny and calm during processing).
Spider mites appear if arid, hot, and in addition, watering is rarely carried out. The wrong side of the leaves is the favorite place of these parasites. Wormwood, shag, yarrow and tobacco are used against ticks in infusions.
Other hazards are:
- cicadas;
- thrips;
- cut sawflies;
- leaflets.
They appear when the rules of care are not followed.
Dangerous diseases of roses are:
- bacterial cancer;
- gray rot;
- coniotirium;
- powdery mildew;
- black spotting.
