Aloha rose is one of the plantations that blooms almost continuously from late spring to late autumn. The following is information on growing a crop in a garden plot.
Rose Aloha - what kind
This plant is a product of German selection. The variety was bred in 2003, and already in 2006 it was awarded a certificate of honor. The peculiarity of the Aloha variety is that at different stages of development, the buds change color from orange-pink to pale salmon. And when the bright rays of the sun hit them, the petals become even lighter.

Characteristics of the variety
Powerful shoots of the Aloha variety reach a height of 2-3 m. The plant spreads 1-1.2 m wide. On the stems, in addition to dark green foliage and orange-pink flowers, there are numerous thorns. When the buds open, they reach a size of 8-10 cm. The description indicates that each shoot contains 5-10 flowers with a pleasant aroma.
Aloha climbing rose blooms in late spring and ends in late autumn. The color of the buds is initially rich orange-pink, then the color fades a little and becomes soft salmon. Rose bushes are resistant to many fungal diseases.
Advantages and disadvantages of the variety
The positive qualities of the Aloha rose include the following qualities:
- decorative look;
- delicate aroma emanating from the buds;
- long-term flowering;
- the possibility of using shoots with flowers for cutting;
- frost resistance of bushes.
The disadvantages include the presence of thorns that make it difficult to work with the bushes. In addition, the shoots sag under the weight of the flowers, so support is required.
Use in landscape design
A tall rose is used for vertical gardening of the site. Bushes are planted near gazebos, columns, arches. Long shoots need to be tied up, otherwise the plant will look sloppy. Plantings will attract attention when planted alone against the backdrop of a lawn. In addition, undersized plantings can be planted around them as a foreground.

Growing a flower
Bushes are able to grow in one place for a long time, so a plot for them is selected and prepared immediately carefully.
Aloha bushes are planted at the age of 1-2 years: the younger the plants, the easier they adapt to new growing conditions. Seedlings are purchased in a nursery or garden center. Before planting, the stems are shortened, the foliage is removed.
Seat selection
The place for planting Aloha roses is selected well-lit, but shaded at noon. If the hot rays of the sun fall on the buds, the petals will begin to lose their rich color, becoming discolored.Bushes will grow well in partial shade, for example, near any buildings. The main condition is that rainwater does not drain from the roofs onto the plants, otherwise they may be affected by fungal diseases.
How to prepare the soil and flower
The site is cleared of debris, dug up. The soil for the bushes is selected fertile: if it lacks nutrients, humus is added. If the soil is heavy, clayey, sand is added to it. It is advisable to dig a hole 2 weeks before planting a rose. The root system of seedlings is dipped into a solution with a growth enhancer for 12-24 hours.
Planting procedure step by step
A hole is dug with a depth of at least 40 cm. The planting of bushes is carried out as follows:
- Expanded clay or small stones are laid out at the bottom of the hole.
- Then a 10-centimeter layer is lined, consisting of soil mixed with mineral fertilizers.
- A layer of fertile soil is poured on top.
- A seedling is placed in the middle of the pit, covered with earth along the root collar.
The root circle is lightly tamped, watered abundantly, mulched.

Plant care
In order for the climbing rose Aloha to bloom throughout the season, it must be properly cared for.
Watering rules and humidity
During the spring and summer, the bushes are watered abundantly, but rarely. If the ground is constantly wet, fungal diseases can overcome the rose. Therefore, the soil between waterings must have time to dry out. Young plantings are irrigated once every 7-10 days, adults - once every 2 weeks.
Top dressing and soil quality
The Aloha rose will grow abundantly and bloom beautifully only in fertile land. Therefore, it is fertilized several times a season. In the spring, nitrogen-containing substances are introduced to build up the green mass. Then the bushes are fertilized with mineral dressing with an advantage in the composition of potassium and phosphorus.
Pruning and replanting
Broken, diseased, dry stems are cut throughout the season. Formative pruning is carried out in the spring before the beginning of the growing season. Aloha is a climbing rose, so at least 5 buds are left on the shoots. After such pruning, early abundant flowering will begin. Bushes are transplanted in spring or autumn.
Features of wintering a flower
In late autumn, abundant watering is carried out. This is necessary for the rose to endure the winter cold more easily. In anticipation of large frosts, the whips are removed from the supports, laid on mulch, covered with spruce branches, agrofibre. As soon as the spring sun warms up, the shelter is removed, otherwise the bushes may vanish.
Blooming rose
The bushes grow beautiful inflorescences of warm colors. In order for the flowering to last as long as possible, it is imperative to take care of the plants during this period.
A period of activity and rest
The Aloha rose begins to bloom in late spring. The inflorescences bloom gradually, so it seems that flowering lasts without interruption. But it still exists: in the middle of summer, the bushes have a short period of rest. In August, the roses bloom again.
Care during and after flowering
During flowering, the bushes are watered abundantly with water, loosened the ground to prevent crust formation. We need to continue to remove weeds that can transmit diseases. After flowering, the buds are cut off, the bushes are fed with potassium and phosphorus.
What to do if it does not bloom
Aloha rose may not bloom for the following reasons:
- the bushes are too young;
- the rose is planted in an area where the rays of the sun do not penetrate;
- shoots are cut too low;
- after the first wave of flowering, the bushes were not fed;
- the rose has undergone an invasion of diseases and pests.
Having corrected the mistakes of care, the gardener will once again admire the beautiful flowering of the Aloha rose.

Flower propagation
The varietal plant has long lashes, so it is easy to propagate it using layering. In addition, the bushes can be diluted by cuttings, grafting, dividing the bush.
The best time for the procedure is late spring or early summer. By the fall, the cuttings have time to take root, they easily survive the cold winter. It is necessary to divide the bush into parts in early spring before the beginning of the growing season or in the fall after the foliage has fallen off.
The climbing rose is most often propagated using layering. The procedure is performed as follows:
- Shallow grooves are dug.
- Lashes are laid in them, they are pinned.
- Watered with water, covered with earth.
Every time, as soon as the soil begins to dry out, it is moistened. When young plants appear on the lashes, they are separated, transplanted to a permanent place.

Diseases, pests and ways to control them
Due to improper care, Aloha can be affected by fungal diseases. For prevention, the bushes are sprayed several times per season with copper-containing preparations. Of the pests, aphids and spider mites can choose a rose. Insecticides are used against harmful insects.
Rose Aloha does not require much maintenance; even a novice gardener can grow it. Climbing bushes serve as a decoration of the site for a long time, since the red-orange inflorescences delight those around them with their spectacular appearance from spring to late autumn.
