Plant care
To fully care for a rose, you need support. It can serve as outbuildings, specially installed arches, etc. In this case, it will be easy to water, weed and fertilize the plantings.
Watering rules and humidity
For the development of the root system inside the earth, it should be watered very abundantly. Watering frequency - once every 7-10 days. Watering can be combined with sprinkling and fertilization.
Top dressing and soil quality
For the first two years, the plant does not need additional feeding. Starting from the third season, organic matter is introduced in the spring with the addition of ash. You can use a ready-made fertilizer for roses.
Potassium supplements will not interfere with the rose before winter.

Features of wintering a flower
Parada's winter hardiness is good, but the bush needs shelter. Rather, the lashes can freeze, although the roots are not afraid of frosts down to -20.6 ° C.
Before winter, it is recommended to lay the whips on the ground and pin them. Then you can pour on them in a high layer:
- dry leaves;
- humus;
- coniferous needles.
Then everything is covered with agrofibre, natural fabric or spruce branches.
With the onset of warm days, the shelter is removed gradually. The plant opens completely after the threat of return frosts has receded.

Cuttings
The most used propagation methods are cuttings and rooting of cuttings.
In the first case, you can use pruning after the formation of the rose. Cuttings should have at least 5-6 eyes. Before planting in soil or water, they must be treated with a rooting stimulator. The survival rate will occur faster if you create a greenhouse effect for the seedlings, that is, cover with a transparent cap.
For reproduction by layering, the lower mature branch is selected, which is dug along into the groove. The roots will grow back over time. The young plant should be left under the mother bush until the next season.
Diseases, pests and ways to control them
If the planting rules are not followed (thickened plantings, close occurrence of groundwater, stagnant air), the Parade can be struck by powdery mildew, black spot. To eliminate diseases, you can use folk methods, for example, processing with an ash solution. In advanced cases, it is better to use chemicals such as actara, actellik, fufanon.
