Hybrid tea roses - planting and care
The best time to plant and care for hybrid tea roses in open ground- beginning of May. Plant the bushes in sunny, wind-protected areas in slightly acidic, loose soil. The holes are prepared to such a depth that the roots fit freely and do not bend. Humus and mineral fertilizers are added to the pit for favorable formation and development of the root system.
After opening the package, before planting the seedlings in the ground, they are immersed in water for several hours so that they are saturated with moisture.

Reproduction of roses in summer in open ground
At home, hybrid roses can be propagated by grafting and cuttings. Gardeners prefer to graft roses in the summer from late July to early September. During this time, the bud grows together with the rootstock, and only begins to grow the next year.
It's easy to grow roses at home from cuttings correctly. Cuttings can be taken when the stems are in the flowering stage. Cuttings are selected from the middle of the stem, not too thick and not too thin. Cut into pieces with 2-3 kidneys. The bottom is cut obliquely under the bud, the top is cut straight, 2 cm above the top bud, removing one third of the leaves. Seedlings can be planted in the shade under trees to avoid direct sunlight. Cover the top with glass or plastic jars. Watering is carried out between shelters.

Further care
For growth and continuous flowering, shrubs need to be looked after: fed with mineral and organic fertilizers containing phosphorus, potassium and magnesium, moistened the soil, and trimmed branches.
Lack of moisture can lead to wilting and partial shedding of leaves, and slower growth of shoots. Flowers become small, the color of the petals fades.
Note! Frequent watering is undesirable to prevent mold on the shoots. IN summer heat water once a week. The rest of the time - once every 10-14 days.
Roses need stem pruning throughout the season. In the spring, in the first year, the branches are pruned by 2-3 buds, in subsequent years - by 5-7 buds.
Important! Spring pruning is the most important.
Summer pruning encourages re-blooming. Withered flowers and a small part of the shoots are removed.
Pruning roses
In autumn, plants are prepared for winter. In mid-October, dry, old and diseased branches are pruned and inflorescences are removed. In order for the bushes to overwinter well, they are covered with dry leaves or branches of pine trees, and sprinkled with a layer of earth or peat on top.
By taking care of your bright flowers, you will soon be able to enjoy blooming flower beds of incredible beauty.
Almost no garden plot is complete without a rose garden. Amateur flower growers try to plant at least a couple of tea rose bushes. Hybrid tea varieties are attractive for their decorative properties.

Basic requirements for planting hybrid tea roses
For planting hybrid tea roses on in your area need to pick up place on the site, which will be protected from strong wind, but it will be sunny. Roses also don’t like drafts. It is convenient to place rose bushes near tall bushes or buildings. Neighborhood with plants such as rowan, raspberry, pear and cherry is undesirable.
The soil should be slightly acidic, well fertilized and loose. It is better to plant roses in the spring, then the plant will have time to take root and overwinter well. At the end of autumn, the soil must be fertilized. It's better to put it in humus soil or cow dung.
The quality of planting material is given Special attention. First, the grower must choose which variety the best way suitable for the climate of its region. You also need to take into account the size that the rose bush will reach. The height of hybrid tea roses is up to one and a half meters.
When choosing seedlings from a nursery, you need to pay attention to the following points:
- lack of too long and pale shoots that may be sick;
- roots should be good branched and well developed;
- stems must have green color, to be strengthened and matured;
- the kidneys should be at rest;
- The seedling should have 2 or more stems with a diameter of about 7 mm.
Features of planting hybrid tea varieties
Preparation of planting material
Seedlings must be prepared in early March. Before this, they are stored in a cool room, in damp sand or soil. This planting material calmly awaits landing in open ground. The optimal time for planting is May-June, when the soil has already warmed up to +12°C. The main thing is to have time to plant the plants before the onset of extreme heat. Be sure to trim the roots of the seedling a little. Then the seedlings are placed in water for 2 hours; they should be thoroughly saturated with moisture.
Planting a hybrid tea rose
The hole should be of such depth that the roots of the plant do not bend when placed in it. This is approximately 50-60 cm. Half of the hole is filled with a mixture of sand, organic fertilizers and garden soil, all components are taken in equal quantities. It is necessary to water the dry soil with two liters of water.
The seedling is lowered into the hole and covered with soil. The grafting site (a noticeable thickening on the seedling) needs to be buried 2-3 cm into the ground. The soil around the plant is compacted, a mound of earth is built, so that during watering water went to the roots. At the end of planting, you need to hill up the plant, so the lower buds can be protected from weather surprises.
Watering the plant
Hybrid tea roses prefer abundant but infrequent watering. Abundant watering requires a young bush. In the first days after planting, it is watered every 2-3 days, without flooding it too much. The optimal amount is 3-5 buckets of water. Later, watering is done once a week, as the soil dries out. After buds appear on the plant, frequent watering should be resumed.
During the active period rose bloom need good watering. If there is not enough moisture, the shoots will develop poorly, the flowers will lose their beauty and become small. One watering of an adult plant will require 10 liters of water.
Water quality matters too. Roses do not like tap water due to the presence of salt impurities; they prefer melt and rain water. Watering is carried out carefully so as not to damage the roots. You need to make sure that the buds and leaves do not get wet. Moisture on them promotes the development of fungal diseases.
On hot days, you need to water roses in the evening. warm water. In cool weather, watering can be reduced to once every two weeks. In autumn, watering is excluded; roses can be watered if there is no precipitation at all.
Fertilizing roses
Timely feeding roses is very important process in growing hybrid tea varieties of roses. Mineral fertilizing is good; it enhances flowering and growth. Organic fertilizers nourish the plant and improve the composition of the soil.
Rose in first year after planting does not need anything, provided that fertilizer is added to the hole when planting. Flower growers fertilize the leaves with potassium sulfate. This is necessary so that the young plant gets stronger and prepares for wintering.
In spring, the first feeding is carried out after pruning the roses. Special mineral fertilizers are used. They are sold in dry form in all agricultural stores. Fertilizers are scattered around the bush after abundant watering, departing about 11 cm from the center. They are sealed, then watered well again. Organic fertilizers are applied every other week. Near each bush you need to place about 5 liters of rotted mullein, which is loosened along with the ground and watered.
The next time fertilizing is needed is when the buds begin to form. Adding an infusion of chicken manure is effective. The infusion is prepared in advance. For eight liters of water take 1 liter of manure. The mixture is infused for 2 weeks, so you need to prepare it in advance. The fertilizer is diluted 1:5, then watered.
Simultaneously with this fertilizing, fertilizing with a weak solution of saltpeter or wood ash is necessary. Store-bought mineral fertilizers are applied before flowering begins. When the roses begin to bloom, there is no need to apply fertilizer. In September, roses are fertilized last time, apply organic fertilizer. There is no need to apply mineral fertilizers at all if the roses bloom for a long time and actively and look healthy.
Loosening the soil
In order for roses to actively bloom and be healthy, you need to carefully care behind them, get rid of weeds. The soil is loosened to saturate the soil with oxygen. The soil must retain moisture well, this will contribute to the normal development of the root system. The procedure is carried out after fertilizing or watering once a month.
Diseases and pests: how to fight
Powdery mildew is the most common disease of hybrid tea varieties of roses. In order to prevent and prevent disease, it is necessary to treat plants with baking soda. It is necessary to dilute 40 g of soda in a liter of water, and spray the leaves with the resulting solution. This is done in the spring when leaves appear. Spraying is carried out twice a week in spring and until the end of June.
Roses are often attacked by green aphids. A soap solution with the addition of a few sprigs of wormwood will help you deal with it. A piece of laundry soap is rubbed into water (10 liters), boiled for 15 minutes, and infused. The solution is treated with the stems and leaves of the plant. After a week, this procedure is repeated. If the infection is very active and does not go away, you should turn to special chemicals that are sold in specialized stores.
Pruning roses
Timely pruning hybrid tea roses is of great importance in proper care. It comes in several types, depending on the strength of pruning and the season of pruning:
- Weak pruning. Trim the frozen or damaged tip of the shoot. After pruning, the rose begins to bloom early, there will be more flowers, although the flowers themselves will be smaller.
- Heavy pruning. It is necessary to cut off more than half of the shoot, leaving 3-4 buds. The flowers will be larger, but there will be fewer of them. Flowering usually begins later than usual.
- Pruning in summer. It is carried out after flowering. Faded flowers are removed with a small part of the shoot. In the future, such pruning guarantees abundant flowering.
- Spring pruning is considered the most important. When the buds reach a size of about 0.6 cm, it is time to prune, leaving 3-4 buds.
- Autumn pruning. When preparing the plant for winter, it is necessary to remove all damaged and unripe shoots. It is not recommended to cut the shoots too much; this can harm the plant in severe winters. Removed shoots are burned because they may contain pest larvae.
Preparing hybrid tea roses for winter
Choosing the right time for pruning and covering is an important step in preparing a tea rose for winter. If you cover the rose too early or dig it in too early, the plant’s immunity will weaken and it may die immediately after the first frost.
The longest shoots need to be trimmed, leaving only 6 buds so that the rose can next year grow again. The remaining shoots are carefully inspected. If watery areas are found, they must be removed. After this, the rose is covered, buried in the surrounding soil, covering part of the stems and roots. The soil acts as a heat insulator, preventing the plant from freezing.
Additionally, it is necessary to cover the bases of the bushes with pine tree branches, spruce branches, and dry leaves. The top is sprinkled with peat 25 cm high. In severe winter conditions, it is necessary to make a special frame on which to attach the insulating material.
Growing tea rose, with proper planting and care in the garden, will deliver a lot positive emotions, will allow you to enjoy the touching beauty of these flowers.
Hybrid tea rose - common name varieties of the group Modern garden roses. This species owes its name to its origin - it came from old tea roses, which had a rich aroma of freshly picked tea.
Since tea roses did not have good resistance to adverse weather conditions and often got sick, after many years of breeding work, hybrid tea varieties were bred, which in these indicators differ significantly from their predecessors for the better.
Among the many independent species and hybrid forms, the rose tea-hybrid variety Kronenburg, which is part of the leading group of cut hybrids, stands out.
The history of the creation of the Kronenburg variety
Rose Kronenburg (lat. Rose Kronenbourg) is a remontant, vigorous hybrid with large buds. It was bred in 1966 by breeder Samuel MacGready, who used the Gloria Dei variety, also called Peace, to create it. That is why the unofficial name of the species is Flaming Peace.
Note! The wrong name of the variety is rose Königsberg.
Characteristics of the variety
Kronenbourg rose is a very bright, repeat-blooming hybrid variety. The hybrid bushes are quite large and branched. The stems are tall - from 100 to 110 cm in height. Plant diameter is up to 1 m.
Rose Kronenburg
The flowers are large, double, and have a classic shape. The diameter of the blooming flower is 10-13cm. They are located singly on peduncles.
Kronenbourg buds have a two-tone color - they are bright red on the outside, while the petals are creamy yellow on the inside. However, the yellow color is almost invisible due to the shape of the buds.
The flowering of the variety is uniform and long-lasting - in central Russia it blooms from the end of June until the first frost.
The aroma of flowers is pleasant and unobtrusive, with pronounced raspberry notes.
The disease resistance of the Kronenburg species is average; it often gets sick in unfavorable years, which is why it is recommended to periodically treat the bushes with fungicides as a preventive measure. The most common pests of the variety are aphids, scale insects, leaf rollers, roseate sawflies, thrips and roseate cicadas, against which ordinary insecticides are effectively used.

The description of the Kronenburg rose variety states that the plant is highly winter-hardy and can withstand frosts down to −23°C, but reviews from gardeners on this matter are mixed.
Agricultural technology
Without exception, all varieties of hybrid tea roses require careful care. This is a rather capricious heat-loving shrub, demanding on watering and soil type. In addition, despite the declared level of cold resistance, the plant should be well covered for the winter so that the flower does not freeze.
A description of the rules for planting and caring for the Kronenburg rose will allow flower growers to choose the most favorable conditions for the flower.
Lighting requirements
Kronenburg roses need good light and protection from the wind, so it is not recommended to plant this variety in the shade of trees, against a wall or in a lowland, as such conditions contribute to the development of diseases and rotting of the bushes. However, this does not mean that the bush needs to be planted directly in the open sun - the area where the flower will grow should receive sunlight and shading in equal proportions.
Good place for growing
Soil requirements
When choosing a place to plant a plant, you should focus on dry, elevated areas, since when there is excessive soil moisture, spots appear on the leaves and stems of roses. The Kronenburg hybrid grows best on sandy-clay soils of weak acidity - roses prefer slightly acidic soil (ph 5.5-6.5).
Important! If roses of other varieties previously grew in the area chosen for planting, the top layer of soil must be replaced with a new one.
Landing
The optimal time for planting Kronenburg roses in the ground is April-May. It is recommended to plant this variety after the soil temperature reaches 10-12°C, and it is advisable to choose seedlings with buds that have not yet opened or with very short shoots.
Planting a rose
General landing rules:
- The depth of the planting pits should be at least 40 cm. The width is 40-60 cm. On heavy clay soil, the pit is made deeper (60-70 cm).
- The bottom of the pit is filled with humus or compost with the addition of wood ash.
- A mound of fertile soil is poured on top of the fertilizer layer, on which the seedling is then placed.
- The roots of the seedling are straightened, evenly distributed over the mound, and then sprinkled with earth. The grafting site is deepened by 5-7 cm.
- The final stage of planting is mulching the planting with compost, humus or dry soil. Then the planted bush should be shaded for 10-12 days.
Important! For better growth of the bush, you can put a heteroauxin tablet in the planting hole on fertile soil.
Watering
The plant is quite drought-resistant, but in particularly hot months it needs to be watered. For arid regions it is recommended to use drip irrigation. If the bushes are watered manually, use up to 20 liters of water per m2.
Feeding
The fertilization procedure is carried out twice a year. In mid-spring, fertilizing containing nitrogen is applied. In summer, the bushes are fed with potassium and phosphorus fertilizers.
Fertilizer for roses
Preparing for winter
For the winter, hybrid tea roses require careful shelter with good ventilation so that the bush does not rot. To do this, plants are mounded with sand or dry soil to a height of 30 cm and covered with spruce branches.
With the onset of spring, the roses open up. This is done in the evening so that the sun’s rays burn the young shoots.
Trimming
Rose pruning
Trimming in autumn months includes the removal of dried or damaged shoots.
Advantages and disadvantages of the variety in comparison with other varieties
The Cronenberg rose has the following advantages:
- good stability- buds are practically not damaged by rain;
- average resistance to diseases: on the one hand, the plant is quite resistant to black spot and powdery mildew, however, it often gets sick in unfavorable years, and is also easily affected by aphids and spider mites;
- high frost resistance;
- average drought resistance;
- pleasant unobtrusive aroma;
- unusual color of buds.
The Cronenberg species has no obvious disadvantages, except for its high maintenance requirements.
The bizarre combination of two warm, bright shades makes this variety stand out from most other two-color hybrids. Rose Kronenbourg is used both in single plantings in flower beds and in creating flower arrangements and rosaries. Long, straight stems with large flowers also look good as a cut flower.
Roses are the most beautiful decoration for flower beds and landscape designs. There are a huge number of varieties of this elegant and mysterious shrub. One of the brighter representatives of this species are hybrid tea roses. They were bred by a French breeder in 1867 by crossing varieties of tea and remontata roses.
Later, more than 10 thousand varieties of this unique species were bred. Each type has its own individual characteristics and differences. But the uniqueness of this variety lies in the fact that each flower has an unusually pleasant aroma of cut tea. In addition, roses begin to bloom from the very beginning of summer. Flowering continues until late autumn.
Description and characteristics of the variety
Hybrid tea roses are the most popular among the rose group. Each type of this variety may differ in bush size, flower shape, aroma and shades.
This variety surpassed all others according to its characteristics. When breeding it, two varieties of roses were crossed, from which the hybrid teas adopted all the most best qualities. From the tea rose they inherited an unusually beautiful flower shape, a unique aroma and the ability to bloom continuously and very abundantly. From the repaired one they inherited strong and hard wood and winter hardiness.
The variety is different abundance of color spectrum and shades. Roses can not only have one color, they can be two colors or even change it as the bush matures. Due to their continuous and abundant flowering, these roses are widely used in greenhouses, ornamental plantings, landscape designs. They are also specially grown to produce cut flowers.
Roses tolerate wintering worse than remontant roses, but if they are closed for the winter, they can withstand it just fine. If the bush is not covered for the winter, at a temperature of 8 - 10 degrees it may freeze. They begin to bloom around June 20, and flowering continues until late autumn.
Characteristics of the variety:
This variety of roses is not distinguished by its endurance and unpretentiousness; they are very capricious.
And in order to grow beautiful hybrid tea rose bushes, planting and care must be correct. To do this, you need to listen to the advice of experienced flower growers. Then the roses will delight you with their abundant blooms from early summer until late autumn.
Planting a rose in the beginning of May. The soil for planting the bush should be slightly acidic and loose. You must choose the sunniest place for planting, but at the same time, the rose must have shelter from the wind. Before planting, remove all soil from the root system of the shrub and place it in a container of water before planting. Keep the bush in water for at least 2 hours. This way, the bush will be saturated with water before planting.
It is very important to place the rose in water in such a way that the entire root system and grafting, if the plant is grafted, are completely immersed in water. If it is possible to immerse the entire plant in water, it will be even better. While the plant is saturated with water, you can prepare the soil for planting.
Pits or holes for planting a flower must be prepared measuring 30 - 50 cm in depth. You need to dig them up at a distance of 50 - 70 cm from each other. It is recommended to plant no more than 8 rose bushes in one place.
Before planting the plant, you need to prepare a special mixture in which to soak root system.
For the mixture you need to prepare: 1 part manure, 1 part water, 2 parts clay. Mix everything thoroughly. Soak the root system of the bush thoroughly in the prepared mixture, and then place it in the hole. Additionally, a previously prepared roll of soil should be placed in the hole. It will help retain water at the roots, thereby nourishing them for a long time.
After which, the bush will need to be hilled. In this case, you need to hill up to a height not less than 15 cm.
If the plant is grafted, it must be planted in the ground so that the grafted area extends 3 cm deep from the soil level.
Basic growing conditions
Roses can be planted both in open ground and indoors. The method must be selected according to climatic conditions. Rose bushes are characterized by abundant, long-lasting flowering, so pruning the bushes must be done twice a season, namely in spring and autumn.
In the 1st year of flowering, the plant is pruned by 2 - 3 buds, in the 2nd year and subsequent years by 5 - 7 buds. If you prune your rose bush in summer, it will help further development shoots, which can lead to re-blooming.
The main pruning of bushes is done in the spring. It determines what shape the rose bush will be. You should start pruning immediately after the plants have woken up from hibernation, and spring planting began.
Regardless of the type of rose, you need to trim the top shoots. In this case, on strong shoots it is necessary to leave 2-3 well-formed buds and remove 10-15 cm of shoots. On weak branches you should leave only 1 - 2 buds.
In autumn, shoots that have not bloomed this season are pruned. It is important to know that all cut shoots must be burned. In the fall, after pruning, it is necessary to prepare the rose bush for winter frosts. To do this, it must be covered with spruce branches and covered with peat or soil on top. The plant is insulated to a bush height of 25 - 30 cm.
If winter promises to be frosty, it is advisable to completely insulate the bush. To do this, you need to build a frame, cover it with insulation and film to prevent it from getting wet, and cover the remaining film with earth from below. This way the rose bush will overwinter well and is not afraid of frost.
Rules for care, feeding and watering
To grow a beautiful rose bush, you need to constantly and carefully care for it. It needs constant feeding throughout the season. Moreover, fertilizing needs to be alternated.
Mineral fertilizers
They contain microelements such as potassium, phosphorus, magnesium. It is necessary to feed the rose with mineral fertilizers throughout the season. It is especially necessary to feed it during the beginning of budding.
For mineral feeding you need:
- 40−50 g urea;
- 20−25 g of saltpeter;
- 15 g potassium;
- 10 liters of water.
It is necessary to do mineral fertilizing, otherwise the rose will not feel good and will not be able to please with its beautiful flowering.
Nitrogen fertilizer
The bush must be fed with a solution of nitrogen fertilizer twice in a row. You can prepare it yourself, it won’t be difficult. To do this you will need:
- 10 g urea;
- 10−20 g of saltpeter;
- 10 liters of water.
Rose bushes feel comfortable when feeding alternates constantly.
When the plant blooms for the first time, it needs to be fed with mineral supplements. But the composition needs to be changed a little. To do this, add 10 - 15 g more potassium to the composition, and, on the contrary, reduce nitrogen by the same amount.
When watering a rose bush, you need to find a middle ground. If the soil is too dry, the rose will begin to lose its foliage and the shoots will grow very slowly. Drying out the soil can affect the quality of the flowers. They will be small, the color will not be rich enough, and the aroma will be less noticeable.
Abundant watering is necessary for roses during active shoot growth, budding and flowering. In summer, water thoroughly once every 7 days. In autumn and spring, the bush can be watered once every 1.5-2 times a week.
Each time, after abundant watering, the bush should be mulched. Humus should be used as mulch; it will prevent the soil from drying out and retain moisture for some time. In addition, mulching promotes better flowering and flower quality.
Diseases and pests
Of course, there are some disadvantages that are usually found in floriculture. The plant can be overcome by various diseases and pests:
In addition, there are a large number of insects that can seriously harm the plant. Fighting them is simply necessary.
This is a unique flower, and just one bush can be the start of a beautiful rose garden.

Features of planting and caring for hybrid tea roses
In order for your rose garden to delight you with abundant and constant flowering, your roses need to be provided with conditions suitable for a healthy existence.
Conditions for proper care of the rose garden:
1. The first condition for the habitat of roses can be called the presence of organic matter in the soil. Knowing this fact, gardeners mulch roses with manure or other organic matter. Throughout the summer, this root layer protects the plant, preventing pests, drying out and rot.
2. Roses should be treated against pests regularly with special mixtures or solutions. It is better to buy a ready-made protective solution for roses.
3. If roses overwinter in very cold conditions, you need to think about covering them. It is better to do this with geotextile fabric, which protects against temperatures down to -400C.
4.
Roses need frequent and abundant watering if your climate and soil are dry. And if roses grow in humid conditions, it is enough to water them weekly.
And do not neglect the usual rules of care - trimming dry leaves, fertilizing, removing stepchildren and thinning out dense inflorescences.

Irina Samsonova
Landscape designer and editor of Garden World magazine gives advice on caring for hybrid tea roses
Tips for caring for roses from a professional:
- The best mulch for roses is manure mixed with sawdust and leaf humus.
- Water the rose late in the evening, when the sun is no longer visible. This way the roots will take enough moisture and will not be scorched by daylight.
- Do not cover roses in winter unless the frosts are too severe. These flowers will only harden better at temperatures down to -150C.
- Neighborhood with marigolds will help protect roses from harmful diseases and organisms. Plant them around your rose garden as these flowers secrete special enzymes to combat many threats to your flower garden.
How to plant a hybrid tea rose
From correct landing the entire future life of your rose will depend. Let's look at each individual stage of this process:
Stage 1: Preparing the landing site
The soil for hybrid tea roses should already be warm. The right time is the end of spring. We prepare the pit like this:
- we prepare vermicompost at the rate of 3 liters per 1 rose seedling;
- dig a 60 cm hole (2 shovels);
- mix humus with soil and fill half of the hole with it.
Stage 2: Procurement of seedlings
- You can choose roses from March. At the same time, they will wait for planting in damp sand in the basement or refrigerator. Another option is to “wait” on the windowsill in a pot with soil.
- Before planting, cut off the roots until they are fresh - the inside should be white.
- The rose can be soaked with its roots in water for half an hour.
Stage 3: Disembarkation Process
- We lower the roots into the hole, deepening the grafting site by a couple of cm.
- If we have dry soil, pour about 2 liters of water into the hole.
- We fill it with earth, lightly compacting it.
- We water at the root.
- If you observe signs of disease in a flower, or infection is likely, treat the rose with a solution that protects against such problems immediately after planting.
Nostalgia - a beautiful rose with a cupped double bud white and a red border. One of the features of this variety is its resistance to any weather conditions.
Expert advice: Young, freshly planted roses should not be allowed to bloom right away. The first 5-6 buds need to be broken out until the roots become stronger. When the rose grows to half a meter, then you will observe the beauty of its buds. This will happen quite quickly, since the roots of roses strengthen in the first year by mid-summer.
Admiring beauty is not only pleasant, but also very useful. It is to improve health that roses are always planted near hospitals and sanatoriums. Psychologists note the positive influence of roses on the state of mind and emotional state of people. Grow these luxurious flowers “wisely” and they will give you many years of unforgettable emotions.
