Walking through the botanical garden or city arboretum, you may have noticed unusual thin trees, the crown of which is covered with large buds. These are the so-called standard roses.
In fact, the rose in the trunk is not a tree, although it is very similar to it. Moreover, such a plant does not belong to a special species, group or variety.
Standard rose trees have some advantages:
- beautiful and spectacular;
- bloom long and profusely;
- take up little space in garden plots;
- are resistant to common “pink” diseases.
Standard roses are conventionally divided into several groups:
- Dwarf – the height of the trunk without a crown is up to 50 cm. Such roses look good along the edges of garden paths, on terraces and balconies. The trees can be planted in flowerpots and flower pots.
- Half-stamped – up to 80 cm. Serve as decoration of small gardens.
- Standard standard – barrel height up to 1,3 meters.
- Weeping high-stems reach up to three meters in height. They are planted in large gardens and parks. Climbing rose varieties are used, in which the branches fall, like a weeping willow. Hence the name.
Standard roses are not very demanding to care for, so they are often planted in large gardens, parks and in front of house facades.
Flowering trees look great in recreation areas.
How are such pink trees grown? The secret lies in grafting on the stock. In this way, you can plant almost any sort of “queen of flowers”. For the stem, rosehip varieties are chosen that are adapted to the winter season and have a powerful root system. Thanks to her, the rose is provided with proper nutrition, and this directly affects its abundant and long flowering. Vaccinations are done most often by kidneys, less often by cuttings.
Roses in the stem used to decorate the houses of aristocrats and nobles. But today, these flower trees look great both in the design of huge gardens with their many types of plants, and in a small summer cottage. Luxurious trees add a special sophistication, romance and charm.
