Rose description

The company "William Cordes and Sons" has been engaged in the cultivation of various varieties of roses for more than 100 years. German breeders set themselves the goal of growing beautifully flowering, unpretentious plants. Thanks to their painstaking work, the world has the opportunity to enjoy the chic flowering of the Lagoon rose, which is the most spectacular representative of the Climbers.

Variety Lagoon

Erect shoots, the height of which reaches 180-250 cm, are characterized by abundant branching. Glossy sheet plates are painted in dark green. Red-raspberry buds are naturally endowed with a large size. The upper part of the buds is pointed up.

The diameter of the calyx may exceed 9 cm. The flowers of the decorative culture are densely double. Each flower consists of 55-60 petals, which are collected in brushes of 7-8 pieces. The shape of the rose Lagoon is similar to the old varieties of plants with thorns.

Varieties of Blue and Sweet

Specialists distinguish two varieties of the Laguna variety: Blue and Sweet. The distinguishing characteristics of each subspecies are described below.

In the process of growth, the Blue Lagoon rose may surprise: its lilac flowers gradually change their shade to light purple. The variety classified as klimmers differs in average size. The stems of the decorative culture are literally dotted with crooked spikes. On semi-double rose flowers, the number of petals does not exceed 40-45 pieces. Rosa Blue Lagoon, as it is often called in Russian, is often used by landscape designers in the process of transforming the site.

In the Sweet variety, plant flowers are painted in an amazingly delicate pink palette. In the aroma of buds you can feel a combination of notes of lemon and geranium. Large flowers of the Laguna Sweet can be classified as terry.

Blue Lagoon

Landscape designers plant decorative plant bushes with spikes near supports. Often, the Rose Lagoon is used to create garden arches. The culture is effectively combined with other hybrid weaving and tea roses, whose flowers are painted in raspberry, yellow and white shades.

Growing roses

Planting of seedlings is carried out in late April, when the threat of night frost is over. When choosing a place to land, it is worth giving preference to well-lit areas. However, it is also important to shade the plant with a special garden net to prevent burns on the foliage.

Experts recommend using light and nutritious soil for planting, which is well permeable to moisture and air. If you wish, you can do self-preparation of soil, consisting on the basis of:

• peat;
• sand;
• wood ash;
• complex mineral fertilizer.

The correct performance of planting allows next season to admire the chic flowering bushes.

Phased landing process:

1. A recess is excavated in the selected zone, the depth of which reaches 45-50 cm. The diameter of the pit should be within 55-65 cm.
2. A mesh or grate is installed near the dug recess. On them, shoots can trail upward.
3. The root system of the seedling is dipped for a couple of hours in a container filled with a liquid mixture of clay and mullein.
4. The seedling is placed in the pit, the roots are carefully leveled. The root neck should be 6.5-7 cm below the ground surface.
5. The recess is filled with soil. The earth is tamped a little.
6. Under each bush, 2 buckets of water gradually pour out.
7. The trunk circle is mulched by needles or sawdust. The mulch layer should reach 5-7 cm. This will allow moisture to remain in the soil for a long time and prevent the growth of weed grass.

Plant care

The first weeks after planting seedlings, they must be protected from direct sunlight. In the future, it is necessary to adhere to the recommendations of specialists who will allow you to grow a healthy plant with thorns, pleasing with chic flowering.

Gorgeous flowering

Watering

Bushes should be watered every 4-5 days in the summer months, every 2 weeks in the early fall. It is advisable to moisten the soil after sunset.

Top dressing

Every year, the rose needs to be fed. For this purpose, you must purchase in a specialized store:

• phosphoric preparations;
• potash and nitrogen fertilizers.

Organics are introduced only once every 24 months. Experts recommend using mature compost, bone meal and humus in this case.

Pruning

Every spring, it is necessary to inspect the plant bushes with spikes and remove shoots that for some reason could not survive the cold. After that, you can proceed to high pruning of the remaining stems.

As soon as autumn comes, you can cut off the dried flowers. The stems are shortened by 1/3 of the length. Stems over 36 months old are pruned without regret. This will avoid a decrease in flowering quality.

Winter preparations

Despite the good frost resistance of the perennial, the Laguna rose needs winter shelter. For this purpose, the supports are removed, the stems are pressed to the surface of the soil. Free space is filled with needles. A decorative culture with spikes is covered with spandbond, roofing felt and boards.

Climbing rose

Bloom

Large buds are painted in raspberry red. The upper parts of the buds are pointed up. The diameter of rose flowers can reach 9-10 cm. Each thick-headed flower consists of 55-60 petals, which are collected in brushes of 7-8 pieces.

The variety is able to please with repeated flowering, which is not inferior to the splendor of the first wave.

In some cases, the bushes may not bloom. The reason for this phenomenon is improper care, namely:

• planting bushes in a draft;
• lack of top dressing;
• incorrect pruning;
• bacterial damage to ornamental culture;
• lack of treatment for the detection of certain diseases.

Breeding

To propagate Laguna bushes, you can use not only seeds, but also cuttings. The seed method is not used in practice, in view of the particular complexity.

Cutting of plants is carried out in stages:

1. Cuttings are cut from adult bushes. For this purpose, branches that have already bloomed can be used.
2. Each stalk should contain a pair of internodes. The slice is done at an angle of 45 degrees.
3. Foliage is removed from the processes. A small part of the branch located above the kidney is cut from the upper part.
4. A mixture of fertile soil and sand is poured into pre-prepared containers.
5. Cuttings penetrate the soil a couple of centimeters.
6. The container is covered with film material and rearranged in a well-lit area.
7. The film is systematically removed from the container for ventilation. The soil is moistened with a spray gun.
8. After 2-3 weeks, the cuttings take root. After 21 days, they can be transplanted into the open ground.
