Rosehip propagates by seeds and rhizomes. Grows well on rich, light-textured soils. Soils suitable for laying fruit and berry crops are quite suitable for growing wild rose. The plots are allotted with good moisture supply. When planting, the root shoots are harvested in the wild rose bushes. Planted under a shovel to a depth of 10-15 cm. The distance between the bushes is 0.75-1 m.

The best time to plant seeds is September .

Rosehip seeds require long-term stratification (from eight months to one year). They are mixed with moistened, coarse-grained, washed sand. During the stratification period, humidity and temperature are monitored. Such seeds are stored in cellars with a temperature not higher than 5-7 °. Sow in September.

For planting, it is better to use two-year-old seedlings. After planting, they must be cut to one third of the length. On the next year in the spring, basal shoots are cut by 60-100 cm for better branching. periodically (as individual branches dry out), rosehip bushes should be rejuvenated. Skeletal branches older than six years old should be cut and replaced with a basal shoot.

Pests and diseases of wild rose

spider mite . More often it affects wild rose plants in hot and dry years. It settles on the underside of the leaves under the cobweb.

Control measures: Karbofos (20 g per 10 l of water) with ethersulfonate (30 g per 10 l of water). Leaves are treated every ten days until the tick is completely destroyed.

Rose aphid. It settles on young shoots. The leaves are covered with sticky secretions. In the future, they twist, the shoots are bent, the flowers are ugly.

Control measures: Before the buds swell, sprinkle with nitrafen (300 g) or green oil concentrate (600 g per 10 l of water), and at the beginning of the leaves bloom - karbofos (30 g), tobacco decoction (400 g of tobacco and 40 g of soap per 10 l of water), infusion of onion scales (200 g and 40 g of soap per 10 liters of water).

Powdery mildew. It affects the leaves, fruits and shoots of wild rose. After bud break, a powdery-whitish coating appears on the leaves. Affected leaves curl and fall prematurely, shoots become twisted and stunted. The yield of fruits and the content of vitamins in them are reduced.

Control measures: Collection and destruction of diseased leaves, pruning and burning of affected shoots. Spraying every 10-12 days with a soapy emulsion with copper sulfate (5 g blue vitriol and 200 g of soap per 10 liters of water), colloidal sulfur (100 g per 10 liters of water) and dusting with ground sulfur.

Rust . Causes premature shedding of leaves and drying of shoots. Sometimes the entire plant dies. In spring, orange-yellow pads appear on the underside of the leaves (accumulation of spores of the fungus), later the pads become almost black. The spread of the disease is facilitated by abundant dew and rainy weather.

Control measures: Collection and burning of dry and affected leaves. Cutting and burning diseased shoots In early spring before swelling of the kidneys, it is necessary to sprinkle with a 3% emulsion of nitrafen before flowering and after it - with 1% Bordeaux liquid (100 g of copper sulfate and 200 g of fluffy lime) or copper oxychloride (30 g per 10 l of water).

Collection of rose hips

Rose hips are harvested as they ripen, when they turn orange-red or red. There are fewer vitamins in unripe and overripe fruits.

Fresh fruits are stored in a layer of 4-5 cm on racks for a short time at a temperature of plus 1-10 °. Water infusion, decoction, kvass, jam, juices, etc. are obtained from fresh or dried fruits.

Drying. You can dry the fruits under a canopy, in the sun, on a stove, in an oven. When drying in the oven or on the stove for the first 1-2 hours every 20-30 minutes, they must be inspected so that they do not burn, otherwise vitamin C is lost. Under-dried fruits crumple in the hand, overdried crumble into powder when crushed, burnt ones become almost black. Properly dried fruits are bright red, orange or brown-red.

Water infusion. They take a tablespoon (20 g) of dry fruits and pour two glasses of boiling water, boil over low heat in an enameled bowl for 10 minutes, then close the lid and insist 22-24, and crushed - 2-3 hours. After that, the broth is filtered and drunk half a cup a day. Rosehip infusion should be stored in a dark sealed container, as vitamin C is better preserved this way.

For long-term storage, 0.05-0.1% hydrochloric or citric acid. Acidification has a good effect on the stability of vitamin C, speeds up the infusion process and gives a pleasant taste.

Vitamin tea. One tablespoon (20 g) dried whole fruits, sepals and stalks removed, pour cold water(1 l) and boil in an enamel or porcelain bowl for 5-10 minutes. Pour into a glass through a strainer or gauze.

Rosehip petals are sometimes used for a tea drink, which give the drink a pleasant taste and aroma.

Tea from rose hips and blackcurrant berries. Take 20 g of seeds (1:1), pour two glasses of boiling water, insist for an hour, filter, add sugar, drink half a glass 3-4 times a day.

Rosehip tea with raisins. Wash the raisins, finely chop, pour boiling water 10:100 ml, boil for 10 minutes, squeeze, filter, add the same amount of rosehip infusion, drink half a glass several times a day.

To increase the A-vitamin value of apple and berry compotes, dried or fresh rose hips are used, removing the stalk and calyx. To get rid of prickly hairs inside the fruit, fresh berries are cut and cleaned of seeds and hairs. Dried fruits are pre-steamed for 2 hours, rubbed through a sieve and mashed together with a decoction rich in vitamins C and A, used to pour compote without boiling.

Juice and jam from apple and rugosa roses are of great value. Seeds and hairs are removed from the fruits, boiled with sour berries.

Powdery mildew is a rapidly spreading fungal disease of plants. At first, a white powdery coating appears on the leaves, similar to flour or powder. It can be easily erased with a finger and even mistaken for ordinary dust. But it was not there! Before you have time to look back, this infection will reappear, and even in greater numbers, capturing more and more new areas of habitat. Not only leaves become white, but also stems, peduncles. Gradually, the old leaves turn yellow and lose turgor. New - grow ugly and twisted. If measures are not taken to cure powdery mildew, the plant will die.

Powdery mildew disease: where does it come from?

  • the weather outside is cool (15.5-26.5°C), damp (humidity 60-80%), cloudy weather (for example, during the rainy season). Especially big influence weather conditions affect outdoor and balcony plants; when grown in rooms, they are not so noticeable;
  • is in the soil a large number of nitrogen;
  • plantings are thickened;
  • irrigation regime is not observed. For example, a plant is often watered without waiting for the top layer of the earth to dry out. Or, on the contrary, they regularly dry out an earthen lump, and later they fill it. All this leads to a violation of immunity and, as a result, the appearance of powdery mildew.

In addition to these external conditions, already “awakened” spores can get on flowers:

  • by air (from infected trees or plants);
  • through irrigation water (if spores got there);
  • through your hands (if you touched an infected plant, and then touched a healthy one).

Powdery mildew is capable of a short time completely destroy the plant

Proper agricultural technology is an important condition in the fight against powdery mildew

The fight against powdery mildew is an integrated approach. First, you need to put in order the agricultural technology of growing the affected plant. This means:

  • watering only after the top layer of the soil has dried;
  • at the time of the fight against powdery mildew - completely abandon spraying;
  • if possible, take the affected specimen to a brighter, sunny place until the powdery mildew is cured;
  • thin out thickened plantings, cut off old leaves that touch the ground;
  • for the period of remission - less nitrogen fertilizers, more phosphorus-potassium fertilizers (in case of illness - no fertilizers at all).

All care errors must be corrected, otherwise powdery mildew will appear regularly. Now let's talk about direct treatment.

How to deal with powdery mildew: therapeutic spraying and watering

To get rid of powdery mildew, do the following:

  1. Cut off the affected (yellow, devoid of turgor) leaves and all flower stalks. If powdery mildew has appeared on roses, petunias, chrysanthemums and similar bushy plants, it is advisable to carry out a cardinal pruning. The more damaged branches are destroyed, the greater the chance of a cure;
  2. replace upper layer soil in a container, pot or under a plant in a flower bed - whole colonies of mushroom mycelium hide there;
  3. carry out therapeutic spraying and watering the plant with one of the medicinal preparations. When spraying, you need to strive so that all leaves and shoots are abundantly wetted. It should pour from the plant, as after a spring shower. There are more effective method: pour the treatment solution into the basin and dip the bush there. The soil is abundantly wetted with a solution, by spraying from a spray bottle or watering. The walls of pots and pallets are also processed.

Powdery mildew: folk remedies

Let's talk right away: folk remedies from powdery mildew are effective as a prophylaxis or on early stages the spread of the disease. If the destructive process has been launched for a long time, more than 5-7 days ago, it is already useless to fight in this way. It may be possible to stop the development of the disease, but not completely eliminate it.

The most famous and effective folk remedies powdery mildew is prepared as follows:

1. From soda ash and soap

25 g of soda ash is dissolved in 5 l hot water, add 5 g of liquid soap. Spray the plants and topsoil with a cooled solution 2-3 times at weekly intervals.


A protective drug against powdery mildew is prepared from soda ash and liquid soap (best household)

2. From baking soda and soap

In 4 liters of water dissolve 1 tbsp. l. baking soda and 1/2 tsp. liquid soap. Spraying is performed 2-3 times with an interval of 6-7 days.

3. Potassium permanganate solution

2.5 g of potassium permanganate are dissolved in 10 liters of water, used 2-3 times with an interval of 5 days.

4. Serum solution

Serum is diluted with water 1:10. The resulting solution forms a film on the leaves and stems, which makes it difficult for the mycelium to breathe. At the same time, the plant itself receives additional nutrition with useful substances and improves health, which affects its improvement. appearance. Treatment with a serum solution is carried out in dry weather, at least 3 times, with an interval of 3 days.

5. Decoction of horsetail

100 g of horsetail (fresh) is poured into 1 liter of water, kept for a day. Put on fire and boil for 1-2 hours. Filter, cool, dilute with water at a concentration of 1:5 and spray the bushes. The concentrate can be stored in a dark, cool place for no more than a week. Spraying with horsetail can be carried out regularly to prevent powdery mildew in the spring and summer. In the fight against an existing disease (in the initial stage), 3-4 times spraying with a frequency of once every 5 days is effective.

6. Copper soap solution

This remedy for powdery mildew is highly effective due to the inclusion of a well-known fungicidal preparation - copper sulfate. In a glass (250 ml) of hot water, dilute 5 g of copper sulfate. Separately in 5 l warm water dissolve 50 g of soap. After that, carefully, in a thin stream and with constant stirring, pour the solution with vitriol into the soap solution. Plants are sprayed with the resulting emulsion 2-3 times with an interval of 6-7 days.

7. Mustard solution

In 10 liters of hot water, 1-2 tablespoons are mixed. dry mustard. The cooled solution is good for both spraying and watering.

8. Ash + soap

In 10 liters of heated (30-40 ° C) water, stir 1 kg of ash. The solution is insisted, stirring regularly, for about 3-7 days. After that, the liquid component is poured (without ash suspension) into a clean bucket, a little liquid soap is added, poured into a spray bottle and processed. Spray the plants every day or every other day 3 times. Add 10 liters of water to a bucket with ash particles that have sunk to the bottom, stir and use it for irrigation.

9. Infusion of decayed manure (better than cow's)

Pour rotted manure with water in a ratio of 1: 3, insist 3 days. Then dilute the concentrate twice with water and spray the bushes.

10. Infusion of garlic

25 g of garlic (chopped) pour 1 liter of water, stand for 1 day, filter and spray the collection.

Powdery mildew: treatment with chemicals

If powdery mildew has appeared on your flowers, the fight against it is most effective with the help of modern fungicides. They have a detrimental effect on the fungus, stop the harmful processes in the cells of the plant, protect and treat it. Spraying is carried out 1-4 times with an interval of 7-10 days (depending on the chosen preparation).

The word "ampel" comes from the German word "ampel", meaning a hanging container for flowers. Fashion for hanging flower beds came to us from Europe. And today it is very difficult to imagine a garden where at least one hanging basket was not found. In response to the growing popularity of container floriculture, a large number of ampelous plants, whose shoots easily fall outside the pots. Let's talk about those that are valued for their beautiful flowers.

Often thickets of wild rose can be found on the edges of the forest, in ravines, near the roads. It is very difficult to pass by without noticing the delicate fragrant flowers. But the most useful thing about rose hips is its fruits. This is a real "pantry of health"! Since ancient times, people have been collecting wild rose hips, but recently more and more gardeners are interested in breeding this crop in their area.

Reproduction and cultivation of wild rose

Rosehip seedlings will take root well in well-lit places. If the soil in your area is too acidic, you first need to add lime to it. Dig landing holes at least 30 cm deep. Before planting, rotted manure, urea, and mineral supplements are placed in it. The rosehip seedling itself is shortened by 1/3 of the length. The root system can also be shortened so that the remaining roots are at least 25 cm. Do not forget to water the rosehip seedlings after you dig them into the ground!

In adult plants (starting from the age of two), diseased and shrunken branches must be cut every year. This stimulates the emergence of young shoots.

There are several ways to propagate rose hips: root offspring, branches, green cuttings and even seeds.

When propagating rose hips with seeds, they are pre-stratified, that is, they increase germination by keeping them in wet sand or peat at a temperature of 2-5 degrees. Cuttings intended for planting are cut in late June - early July. They have 2-3 internodes (about 15 cm long). Cuttings are pre-planted in a greenhouse. Root offspring, after their separation from the mother plant, are planted in a permanent place. Several rosehip bushes are always planted in the neighborhood, since one plant is not enough to fully pollinate flowers. Best Option is a symbiosis of large-fruited and small-fruited plants. Top dressing is enough to make once a year. It can be humus, ammonium nitrate, fertilizers with potassium or superphosphate.

Most varieties of wild rose form root offspring. Because of this, the plant can "spread" throughout the area. To avoid such chaotic breeding of wild rose, leave only those root offspring that appear at a distance of 30-50 cm from the mother plants, and cut off the rest. However, breeders have long bred varieties that do not form root offspring, such as Shpil.

In the northern regions, cinnamon rose hips are most common, and in middle lane- the so-called dog rosehip. Both types are resistant to frost and bring excellent harvest. On the basis of the Cinnamon Rose, several varieties have been bred, such as Besshipny VNIVI, Vorontsovsky, Yubileiny, Russian and others. The largest fruits of wild rose varieties Sobachy, Globus, Large-fruited VNIVI.

Rose hips are harvested already reddened, but still firm. In this form, they need to dry for about three days at a temperature of 110C - 150C, scattering with a five-centimeter layer. Even better, to avoid loss of vitamins, dry freshly picked rose hips in the oven and then store them in linen bags or glass jars. So the berries will not lose their useful properties during two years. All rose hips are harvested before frost, as frozen berries lose up to 15% of vitamin C.

Rosehip is interesting not only in terms of its high nutritional value, but also as a culture ideal for hedges. By planting wild rose bushes near the fence (or on a trellis), you will get a real flower wall, which pleases the eye, gives protection from the wind, and brings the harvest.

If we talk about the diseases that most often affect rose hips, then rust will come first - spots resembling bright orange pads covering all parts of the plant. As a treatment, we recommend spraying rosehip bushes with infusions of tomato shoots or wormwood, and, in especially severe cases, with 1% Bordeaux liquid.

In conditions high humidity, especially in the second half of the growing season, the risk of infection with spotting increases. Colored spots on rosehip leaves testify to its appearance.
A white, web-like coating covering young shoots and leaves is powdery mildew. In both cases, it is recommended to prune and destroy the affected parts of the plant, and also spray the rosehip bushes with nitrofen, topsin or fundozol.

Rosehips are dangerous not only fungal diseases, but also pests: leafworm (twirls leaves), motley fly and rose fly (damages fruits), spider mite(sucks the juice from the leaves), rose sawfly (eats shoots from the inside) and others. In most cases, spraying with chlorophos or nitrofen helps.

Useful properties of wild rose and its beneficial effect on the human body are known, perhaps, to everyone: the berries contain vitamins C, P, B1, B2, B6, E, K, salts of phosphorus, magnesium and calcium, tannins and pectin substances. According to the level of vitamin C, rose hips are superior among other crops (200-300 times more than in apples and pears, 60 times more than in lemons), and in terms of carotene content, it is in third place (after apricot and sea buckthorn).

Varieties of wild rose, in which the content of vitamin C is especially high, are Cinnamon, Wrinkled, Beggera, Spiny and others. In appearance, a high-vitamin rosehip variety can be distinguished from a low-vitamin one by the position of the sepals: in the first, they stick out vertically, and in the second, they are pressed against the fruit.

Rose hips make delicious jams, jams, drinks (preferably from large-fruited varieties). The pulp of the fruit, peeled of hairs, is an excellent remedy for eczema, trophic ulcers, and burns. Also, on their basis, medicinal syrups and potions are made (Traskov's medicine against asthma). Dried fruits are used to make medicinal tea, the use of which significantly increases human immunity.

An infusion of the leaves is used for stomach diseases as an antiseptic and analgesic. A decoction of rosehip roots helps to remove stones from the kidneys.

Rose hips appear in many recipes for drinks, sweets, and even first courses. We offer you a recipe for making soup with the fruits of this plant.
