Spray - splashes of buds

Spray - a new group of roses, in many ways similar to the group of floribunda. Small, ideal shape of flowers, collected in large inflorescences, is very suitable figurative name, meaning in translation from English "splashes". Each twig, strewn with numerous charming flowers, resembles a miniature bouquet. Tenderness, refinement and at the same time solemnity characterize flower compositions in which there is a rose-spray. Photo, even the most adept, can not convey the beauty of these colors.

Roses from the spray group have dense but low bushes, ideally suited for growing in containers and on small flower beds. The height of plants reaches 60-80 cm. Blossom spray roses all summer until the frost.

Care for spray roses

Constantly and abundantly flowering roses of this group are an excellent choice both for growing on a cut, and for decorating patios, balconies, flower beds. They are considered unpretentious, not requiring special care.

For the cuttings, thin lower processes with 3-4 leaves are selected, they are cut off obliquely, leaving two lower buds and one leaf. This procedure is best done in the summer, from May to August. Cuttings are planted in a mixture of peat with sand in a ratio of 3: 1 or in a special primer for roses. From above, they are covered with transparent bags or glass jars. A month later, a young, rooted bush forms.

Spray roses need exactly the same care as all other representatives of the Rosaceae family, they also need fertilizing, loosening, watering, pruning, removing faded flowers. To water plants it is necessary not too often, only in process of drying of the top layer of a ground. Mulching helps keep moisture longer, so it's not worth neglecting it.

Spray-roses spend a lot of energy on flowering, they can not do without feeding. Mineral fertilizers, especially prolonged action, should be introduced in the spring, during the formation of shoots. The second feeding will be required after the first wave of flowering.

Without pruning roses lose decorativeness, and flowering deteriorates. Many people think that roses are whimsical, and it is difficult to grow them.
