Ever-blooming roses: the best varieties and rules of care

Many amateur rose growers dream of planting ever-flowering roses in the garden that would bloom constantly - from the beginning of summer to frost. Alas, there are none. But there are varieties that can bloom several times during the growing season. These are the so-called remontant roses, or re-flowering. They manage to lay new buds several times over the summer with the rudiments of future flowers on the shoots of the current year, as a result of which the appearance of continuous flowering is created. Biologically, the rose is aimed at the formation of seeds, and this inhibits or delays subsequent flowering. And here pruning plays an important role, which provokes the development of new shoots ending in flowers. From this it follows that you need to cut off the faded flowers or inflorescences in time (capturing one or two leaves below them), but only until mid-August, so that the shoots have time to ripen by winter.

Multi-flowered ever-flowering roses: flowering in waves

Most other groups of roses bloom in waves, there are two or three of them per season. Tea-hybrid teas often have the most magnificent and plentiful first wave, the following ones are a little more modest. Floribunda roses (F) - Iceberg, Anny Duperey, Jubile du Prince de Monaco, Jean Cocteau, Nina Weibull, Westreit, Bad Birnbach - are capable of producing lush flowering in the second or third wave, as they form many shoots. Most people behave the same way. scrubs (S), especially great are Bonika 82, Liane Foly, La Sevillana Plus, Hello, Caramella, Crimson Meidiland, Westerland, Swany, Marie Curie, etc .; roses of David Austin - Golden Celebration, Abraham Darby, The Alexandra Rose, William Shakespeare, Sophy's Rose, Ledy of Shalot, Ledy Emma Hamilton, John Clare; climbing large-flowered (LCI) - Lag una, Jasmina, Lawinia, Allegro.

Interesting fact

There are roses of single flowering, which lasts 30-40 days and is so lush and abundant that leaves are almost invisible. These include most climbing roses ramblers (R) - Excelso, Dorothi Perkins, Veilchenblau, Bobbie James, etc.; Flammentanz - Rubiginosa hybrid; Rote Flamme - Shrub. Such roses, no matter how much they cut, will bloom only next year and only on the shoots of last year. It is necessary to try to preserve all the shoots on them in winter.
