and explain something.
I am not an expert in rose gardening, I just love roses, and I always have a specialized site on rose growing in my bookmarks. A wonderful girl who hosts the “Roses in the Garden” column on the “Country Life” channel, Irina Makhrova, is the creator of the first and only Internet encyclopedia in Russia http://www.rosebook.ru/. This site is unique in its content. All registered members of the Rosebook community fill the encyclopedia with information about varieties and photographs of varieties grown in their own gardens. There is no copy-paste, and reports about foreign parks, breeding nurseries, etc. are posted in the form of links to the author’s content only in the “Travel” and “Video” headings and in “Articles” with the permission of the authors.
The encyclopedia contains information about all varieties of roses sold and grown in Russia and beyond. Now residents of Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Germany, Denmark, Sweden, England, and France post photos of their gardens there. I think I forgot many. The rules there are strict, all photographs are used only personally taken by a member of the community, are accompanied by Rosebook watermarks, and the distribution of these photos on the Internet is not encouraged. However, I decided to use some photographs in this post with references to the authors, because such beauty needs to be seen. And it will be easier for Nadya to choose roses to her liking.
All photos are previews. When you click you can go to big photo in the gallery of varieties in the Encyclopedia of Roses and enjoy to the fullest.
The classification of roses is very complex and confusing, so we will not delve into the jungle of groundcovers or scrubs, but simply define the task. St. Petersburg has a short and cool summer. And we need large-flowered, fragrant and profusely blooming roses. Therefore, most hybrid teas can be safely discarded.
Although some of them are insanely good, especially some modern varieties, resistant to disease, very fragrant and producing many shoots. Such varieties, for example, are King's Macc 2002 from Fryer, UK (left)) or Amazing Grace from Anne G. Cocker Scotland, 1990 (right)
The only problem is that these roses bloom in waves, gaining strength between blooms. In the south, in the conditional sixth climatic zone, there may be two or three such waves, or even almost non-stop flowering. And in the north, in the third and fourth zones, there are a maximum of two waves. Roses love warmth, sun and permeable soils, which are clearly lacking in St. Petersburg. But the roses are very worthy, so I still recommend them.
More resistant to weather conditions, which is what we actually need, are ground cover and bush roses, the so-called park or landscape roses. The first ones practically do not get sick, but they do not smell at all. The latter are often weakly fragrant, with medium-sized flowers. However, in both the first and second cases, the size of the flower is more than compensated by the abundance of flowering.
For example, probably the most famous variety of groundcover (sometimes sold as polyanthus or miniature climber), which produces a flurry of flowers, is The Fairy. This is a photo of my friend Anna, who lives in northern Denmark.
Park roses are, as a rule, once-blooming varieties with medium-sized flowers. They are very frost-resistant, but most of them look like rose hips, and Nadyushka needs an exclusive one.
And although she wanted precisely large-flowered roses, I would still risk recommending to her several exceptional roses, which are perfectly suitable for solitary plantings and for massifs in rather harsh conditions. Moreover, they bloom continuously!
Lens roses, musky hybrids, are well suited to cool areas. They are mostly not even terry, but they are so plentiful!

Wonderful Angela from Kordes, 1984. Shrub, which simply means bush. A wonderful, abundant, resilient rose that creates a cloud of vibrant color on any lawn (left). Or the common floribunda rose, not too large sizes, but with outstanding flowering, Leonardo da Vinci by Meilland, 1993 (right)
But let’s move on smoothly to large-flowered masterpieces.
Very rare, because still relatively new, the rose Persian Mystery from Harkness, 2009. This is a hybrid of Hulthemia persica, which has a rather noticeable scent and unusual colors of large flowers. At the base, the petals are colored purple, and this gives the rose some special mysterious charm. Rose of royal blood, no less (left). Or my favorite Chippendale from Tantau Germany, 2006 (right). This is a hybrid tea rose in origin, but its flowers have a distinctly antique shape and a wonderful scent.
But if you really want to amaze your guests, and yourself endlessly enjoy the outstanding flowering and grandeur of your flowers, then you need to stop at the English roses of David Austin. They are the ones who combine our most colorful dreams of a pink paradise. And I must say, these roses are very resistant to pests and diseases. All these roses have a fairly tall bush (depending on the variety, of course) about a meter or more. All, with rare exceptions, are very fragrant. And it is always a waterfall of flowers, large, densely double.

Planting a rose bush in your garden means making a certain aesthetic statement. Rose obliges.
Against its background, an uncut lawn, nettles and quinoa, sprouting out of nowhere, will look defiantly ugly. Although, of course, the style of an old overgrown park or a village house entwined with climbing or species roses is a completely different matter.
A rose is a style-forming plant, and if you plant it rashly, you will be forced to involuntarily adapt to it in the future. True, and her species diversity provides the gardener with a huge number of decorative possibilities.
Hybrid tea and standard roses, especially those with weeping or climbing forms grafted onto them, are magnificent against the backdrop of a strict lawn. As well as borders of low-growing polyanthus and miniature roses or patio roses. The gazebos and walls covered with climbing roses are very beautiful.
Roses are also grown in flower beds, ridges, and borders; they drape walls, gazebos, arches, and trellises. They are also suitable for alpine roller coaster, in containers or pots; They also make hedges out of them - they look great.
If you want to create a charming corner in your garden, plant 3-5 rose bushes of the same variety - then it will delight you with its perfect harmony throughout the summer. Roses different varieties And different color will compete with each other in beauty, and the result will be excessive diversity. However, as they say, it depends on the taste and color...
Well, if you need a beautiful one hedge, take a wrinkled rose: its stems are so thorny that neither animals, nor especially people, can get through them. In addition, its leaves are very beautiful and are not affected powdery mildew, and many varieties also produce bright fruits in the fall. To prevent the bush from stretching out and becoming exposed from below, the shoots need to be pruned at different heights.
Ground cover roses will not only decorate the garden, but will also level out all the bumps and depressions in the area and close the hatches. They look especially impressive on the slopes. These graceful plants also suppress the growth of weeds.

The epitome of a rose lover's garden
Roses are everywhere in this garden. Pink kingdom, pink state! Before us is the garden of a passionate gardener who never gets tired of tinkering with roses, buying and trying more and more new varieties.
In this garden, roses are everywhere, even in a vase on a luxurious white table.
Garden elements with roses:
- thuja Smaragd
- single row pergola
- rose garden
- alcove
- paved area
- water
- rose garden
- guest House
- rose garden
A plot of land in the Moscow region with a long single-row pergola for climbing roses - one of the best supports. Single-row pergolas are rarely found in Russian gardens, although they are an effective and easy-to-make support for vines.
Making a single-row pergola
Install timber pillars at equal distances; a horizontal timber crossbar connects these pillars. You can embed small transverse bars for beauty. The gaps between adjacent pillars are filled with frames with a mesh screen made of wooden slats.
The pond fits perfectly into the garden; it brings a lot of joy to the owners. Its depth is about a meter, so nymphs winter well in it, and bloom profusely and for a long time in the summer.
There is also a shady, quiet corner in the garden. In the hottest weather, it’s cool in the gazebo. Among this floral feast it was simply necessary to place an exquisite forged white furniture, and on the table there is a small vase of roses.
Plants for a garden plot with roses
What is growing near the wonderful pergola with roses? The variety of varieties of climbing roses is great, here one of the best Veilchenblau is used - flowering for a month, a fragrant aroma and a lot of space on the support.
It grows near the pergola. And on the other side of the pergola grows Dortmund, a variety of climbing rose with simple, single red flowers with a white center. This rose is a repeat bloomer, which means you can admire its beauty almost all summer. In total, there are about 160 rose bushes in this garden, with slightly fewer varieties.
There are so many roses here! In addition to climbing plants - floribunda and hybrid tea. Varieties of geranium, wormwood, Griffith's euphorbia, woolly chickweed, and lady's mantle are planted with roses. Behind hybrid tea roses Lilies look good, and their not very beautiful “legs” are covered with ground cover roses. All this is done in order to emphasize the beauty of roses.
Beautiful lawn entrance area The garden, even in the July heat, thanks to the efforts of the owner - watering, fertilizing and pruning - does not lose its emerald color and provides a decent background for bright roses. Ten Smaragd thujas are planted along its edge. There are many coniferous plants, which cool a little bright colors this elegant garden.
Only correct selection varieties and diligent care turn the garden into a blooming paradise. The unearthly beauty of a rose requires constant care from the gardener.
Mantle, roses, geraniums and hostas hide the edges of this path
As soon as the snow melts, the winter shelter is removed from the roses. Then the plants are pruned. They plant new bushes, which they prudently order from catalogs in winter. For health and beauty, roses require a variety of nutrients, and their composition must be balanced, and they must be added at a strictly defined time.
How can we live without a garden?
A third of this plot is occupied by a vegetable garden. Another third of the garden is a luxurious large lawn, well-groomed according to all the rules, evenly trimmed, with a flower border planted between it and the vegetable garden. The lawn is located in front of the house and is a place for games. It is convenient to look after children from the kitchen windows, which is why there are no flower beds adjacent to the house. tall bushes and trees.
On both sides of the central path, spherical thujas are planted, which are illuminated at night by solar-powered lanterns.
On the site there is a well with a house above it, a bench, a couple metal arches and numerous hanging baskets and containers with summerhouses. The plot is 6 acres in total, but somehow everything fits together.
Plants
In mid-summer, the “stars” of this site are two climbing roses on high supports, which are usually called obelisks or columns.
This is what a column of roses looks like in early May
Excelsa is one of the oldest climbing roses, introduced into cultivation back in 1908, with pink-lilac, double, small (only 3.5 cm in diameter) flowers, collected in huge inflorescences of 70-90 pieces, with a pleasant faint aroma. The leaves are good, dark green, shiny. Abundant flowering lasts for 30-35 days. Vigorous bushes with thin flexible prickly shoots reach a height of 4 m. In this garden, the rose has a suitable place and support - a high column four meters high. The rose is carefully covered for the winter, opened in time and tied to a support, fed and watered abundantly in spring and summer - this is how a masterpiece turns out.
In the fall, planks are laid on the lawn, all the wires from the shoots attached to the support are removed from the stepladders, and then huge lashes are laid with the help of poles on the flooring and, finally, the rose is covered with two layers of lutrasil, which is pressed to the ground with metal pins. In the spring, they mercilessly remove the central, old and damaged branches, leaving only last year's shoots (they are the ones that will bloom profusely), distribute them evenly around the circumference of the support, climb onto the stepladders again and carefully attach the branches to the metal rings of the support.
For such a tapeworm in the garden you need sun and space. Fill the pit with rotted manure, make a thick layer of mulch on a large tree trunk circle(about 1 m in diameter) and uniform watering. To withstand such a rose, the oprah must be very strong and reliable. In this case it is collapsible design with five cross rings with a diameter of 50 cm attached to the central metal pipe, which is buried into the soil at least 60 cm.
The second rose was received as a gift, the name of its owner is unknown. Most likely, this is Flammentanz - a variety of climbing rose with large red velvety flowers of good shape with a diameter of 8-9 cm, double, fragrant, in small inflorescences. The name fully corresponds to the variety; it really is “Dance of Fire”. The leaves are large, dark green, shiny. The bushes are tall, 3-4 m in height. It blooms very profusely. This is also not a new product; it was created by the Kordes company in 1955.
Selection of roses is a purely individual matter; everyone has different tastes. If you want something new, choose roses according to the picture in the catalog, but remember that in addition to the beauty of an individual flower, other parameters are also important - the abundance of flowering (rare, albeit luxurious flowers will delight the collector's heart, but will not become a decoration of the garden), frost resistance (there are roses that tolerate our winters well under cover, there are more capricious ones), resistance to pests and diseases (in summer you can find more interesting things to do in the garden than the constant struggle for the health of plants ). Maybe it’s wisest to get only two time-tested climbing roses, but to “squeeze” the maximum decorativeness out of them? You decide.
In conclusion: those who love roses will never get bored of experimenting with them and serving them faithfully. They require knowledge, time and effort to care for, but for their admirers this painstaking work is a pleasure. Keeping roses in perfect condition is not easy, but in gratitude for love, these flowers give their amazing beauty and aroma.
