Advantages and disadvantages of the variety
Compared to the disadvantages, the advantages definitely outweigh them. The main advantages of the Canadian variety:
- excellent indicators of frost resistance, up to -35 degrees;
- resistance to most diseases;
- after freezing, the fragments of the bush are quickly restored;
- inflorescences are large;
- drought tolerance.
Among the shortcomings, it is worth highlighting the slow development after planting and weak rhizome growth. For the first 2-3 years, the bushes do not bloom.
Growing a flower, how to plant it in open ground
Gardeners do not recommend planting roses by seed method, since this way it is not possible to preserve the varietal qualities of flowering crops. Cuttings are predominantly used. It is recommended to purchase them in special nurseries or from trusted people.
When buying, you need to carefully assess the condition of the planting material. The most suitable time to buy is late March - early April.
Healthy rose seedlings
It is preliminary recommended that you familiarize yourself with the correct structure of the seedling. A healthy seedling has a multilevel rhizome and an even root collar; there are no dry and rotten fragments on the aerial part.
Algorithm for the correct planting of a rose Blazh:
- If the selected area has sandy soil, its composition must be enriched with sod land or compost, as well as peat and clay.
- Prepare a recess measuring 40 * 50 cm, if we are talking about several plantings, then the interval between the holes should be about 50 cm.
- Lower the root system of the seedling into the prepared hole and carefully spread it.
- Cover the cavity with earth and compact it a little.

At the end, a near-stem circle must be formed near the bush to retain moisture at the rhizome during watering.
Plant care
The florist should familiarize himself with the basic requirements for growing a Canadian rose:
- Humidity. Almost all representatives of roses do not tolerate high levels of humidity. The optimum moisture level ranges from 50-80%.
- The soil. The soil should be loose with a low acidity level.The shrub develops slowly on sandy soil, since they are subject to rapid cooling and heating, which has an extremely negative effect on the health of the plant.
- Temperature. For the formation of the first buds and gradual continuous flowering, the optimal temperature regime is 14-20 degrees. In winter, the plant can withstand a drop in air temperature to -20 degrees.
- Good illumination. This plant feels comfortable both in sunny and shaded areas. The best option for up to 12-14 hours the plant is on the sunny side, then in partial shade.
The culture is afraid of drafts and gusts of wind, so the landing site should be calm. The soil should be fertilized regularly with moisture-retaining substrates, such as nutritious peat.
Blooming rose
A characteristic feature of the variety is that only one flower is formed on each branch. During flowering, the bud exudes an incredibly pleasant and moderately rich aroma. The culture blooms for a long time, from late May to late autumn. Buds are formed continuously, replacing each other.
Blooming Rose Blush
If the plant does not bloom for 2-3 years after planting, this indicates the creation of unfavorable growing conditions. It is possible that the bush is deficient in nutrients and / or moisture. Also, the bushes will not bloom if they are not pruned.
Flower propagation
The Blazh rose is propagated mainly by cuttings. This method allows you to preserve the varietal qualities of a flowering crop. Seedlings are prepared from semi-lignified shoots.
The preparation of planting material is approximately as follows:
- In the morning, shoots are cut from the bush (the cut points are treated with a disinfecting garden solution).
- From the central part, cut seedlings no more than 8 cm long and 2-3 leaves. The lower cut is made at the kidney itself, at an angle of about 45 degrees.
- The day before planting, the seedlings are dipped in special growth stimulants.
- Immediately before planting, the root system of the "Siamese twins" is washed under running water.
- Planted in open soil or a box.
Further, the sequence of actions is identical to the rose planting algorithm.
Diseases, pests and ways to control them
This varietal variety has average resistance to fungal diseases. In addition, if you do not follow agrotechnical rules and do not prevent pest infestation, the bushes can be attacked by leaf rollers, aphids, spider mites and caterpillars.
