The colorful patterns on the flowers are a feature typical of both modern and old roses. At first glance, it is sometimes difficult to recognize that it is about roses, but the eye of a professional can never doubt.
The best modern forms of breeding include varieties from the series commemorating the great painters. 'Henri Matisse', 'Camille Pissarro' and 'Claude Monet', and 'Rose des Cisterciens'.The best visual effect is obtained with triple plantings with one rose as the dominant plant and two companion plants.
Blue or white perennials such as Campanula persicifolia or Silene coronaria 'Alba' are a good match for 'Henri Matise'. 'Camille Pissarro' and 'Claude Monet' roses form showy groups with white and yellow flowering plants, such as Phlomis russeliana. The pastel variety 'Rose des Cisterciens' enjoys the company of pale pink flames and pale blue flowers of Nepeta x faassenia.
Painted flowers also have old roses excellent examples are the magnificent 'Camaieux' which succeeds best in solitaire (singly planted) and also known as Rosa mundiroseFrench'Versicolor'. Among the climbing forms, the 'Variegata de Bologna', which produces magnificent red and white flowers, undoubtedly deserves attention. Old roses, unlike the modern forms mentioned above, bloom only once.
Fertilization is fundamental to the successful development of roses.We supply the bushes for the first time in spring, before the beginning of vegetation.The second dose of the fertilizer should be spread directly after the first flowering in the case of repeating flowering varieties.The roses that bloom once a season should be fed again just after flowering. We have not been using nitrogen fertilizers since July. X-ray bush roses in spring, if necessary, shorten the shoots by 1/3. The bedding and large-flowered forms also tolerate strong cuts to a height of 20-30 cm.Roses that bloom once a season should not be shortened after flowering. Wild rose bushes do not require any pruning.
