Description rose Crown Princess Margareta (Crown Princess Margareta). Rose princess margaret rose crown princess margaret the encyclopedia of roses

The rose belongs to the brainchild of David Austin, the varieties of which are easily recognizable at first sight. The source of inspiration for the breeder was the old English roses, which became the main source material for all its varieties. As a result, they tried to get outwardly not inferior to them in beauty from the mother plants, but with a more graceful bush shape, resistant to unfavorable growing conditions, and also more aromatic.

Advantages and disadvantages

The full name of the variety is Grown Princess Margareta. It was introduced in 1999, therefore it is considered one of the modern, more resistant plants.

First, I would like to note the advantages of the variety itself:

• resistant to disease;
• flowering in several waves;

• not picky about lighting, 4-5 hours of contact with direct sunlight is enough for them;
• winters well under cover, with rare spring losses;
• can be used both as a bush and a climbing rose;
• easily propagated by cuttings.

Separately, it is worth noting the advantages of a rose flower:

• densely double cup-shaped, quartered;
• bright orange color, reminiscent of ripe apricot in color;
• delicate fruity-floral aroma;
• not sensitive to rain.

As with all varieties, there are also certain disadvantages:

• the first years, while it is building up the green mass, it does not bloom very abundantly or with small flowers;
• over time, the shoots become quite tough, so it becomes difficult to remove them from the support for shelter for the winter;
• the strength of the aroma is inferior to other varieties of Austin.

Feature and Description

Rose belongs to scrubs. It can grow as a shrub with drooping shoots like a fountain. It also manifests itself as a climbing rose if the shoots are formed along the support. In the first years, the lashes are quite elastic and pliable to form, but over the years they become more powerful, tough. If grown without support, then during flowering, the flexible branches bend almost to the ground. Therefore, for this, the variety is recommended to be tied up or planted on a hill (earthen curbs along the walls, fence). There are practically no thorns.

Tip # 1: David Austin's rose varieties inherited a moderate dependence on daylight from mother plants. Therefore, so that the flower does not fade quickly, you should not plant it in the sun. The most suitable place will be a place where direct sunlight falls only in the morning and evening, bypassing their midday activity.

More subtleties about Grown Princess Margareta can be obtained from the reviews of experienced gardeners - lovers of this variety:

“Princess Margaret has been living on my backyard for about 8 years. Planted back in the days when there was very little experience. At first, she was surrounded by other varieties of Ostinks at a distance of 50 cm. But life has shown that all neighbors must be removed far away in order to give the Princess the will to reveal herself in all its glory. I want to say that this is the tallest bush in our climate. I want to say that the declared 2 m in height is not the limit for it. There was a year when the shoots reached 3 m, now I try to keep them at the level of 2.5 m. At the beginning, the branches were flexible, the bush disintegrated. Over time, having gained green mass, the shoots also intensified. As a result, it became a little problematic to lay them for shelter for the winter, and we had to dig a tunnel. It blooms profusely, there are at least 5 flowers in the cluster. Absolutely insensitive to rain and disease. I think that a variety needs time to prove itself. "(Alexey, Moscow).

"MyGrown Princess Margaretalast year it was three years old. At first, there were doubts about its compliance with the description in the catalog. But season after season, the rose gained strength: the bush grew well, the flowers became larger, the brushes were more abundant. I don't cut it at all and now I have it 2.5 m. "(Lyudmila, Moscow).

“Rosochka is already three years old, but there is no bush as such yet. From the very first season, she noted her tendency to trudge. Despite the small green mass, I was lucky to see its flowering and it made me very happy. The flower is very beautiful with a pleasant aroma, lasted for about 10 days "... (Lyudmila, Samara).

“A beautiful flower with good immunity. Scourges really fall apart without support. True, the flowers are a little paler than in the catalog pictures. Regarding English roses, I want to say that it is better to plant them on a hill and, without tying up, give the bush the opportunity to fall in an arbitrary shape, then it will look like a fountain of flowers. Moreover, flowers looking face down suggest such a form of arrangement of branches "... (Natalia, Korolev).

Features of planting and care

The recommendations are the same as for other types of roses. When choosing a landing site, you can not focus on lighting. As follows from the description, 4-5 hours of full contact with the sun's rays is enough. And for the southern regions, these recommendations are mandatory, since the plant can get burned from the active sun at noon.

Before landing, you need to determine the place as accurately as possible. Due to the powerful roots of the rootstock going deep into the depths, transplanting can be quite problematic and harm the bush. A plant over six years old is generally not recommended to be relocated anywhere, unless there is a desire to remove it completely from its site.

Tip # 2: when planting a group of roses of this variety, a distance of at least a meter recedes between them. This also applies to other tall plants that are possible in the neighborhood.

In the first season after planting, they try to prevent the earliest flowering by breaking off the buds. You can leave one for identification of the variety, if necessary. On the second wave, a small amount of ovaries is left for further fruit formation. This procedure will strengthen the plant and give strength to abundant flowering for the next season.

Pruning is carried out depending on the form in which the bush is planned to be kept. If you need to get climbing rose, then only sanitary pruning is carried out:

• autumn - unripe or damaged shoots;
• spring - poorly wintered, as well as lateral lashes breaking the jamb.

When grown in the classic form, in the form of a bush with cascading shoots, in the spring they are shortened by about 1/5.

Shelter

Topical questions about the cultivation of the Grown Princess Margareta variety.

Question number 1. Who is better to take as companions for this variety when decorating a flower garden?

If you plan to arrange a flower garden with roses of approximately the same tone and height, then William Morris of the same company or Barock from Tantau are well suited. From other plant species, you can pick up both tall (delphinium, sage, hesperis dwarf conifers) and undersized (hosta, bells, cornflowers, forget-me-nots).

foxglove and rose Crown Princess Margareta

English rose Crown Princess Margareta, as part of the leander hybrids group, has the characteristics inherent in this subgroup - disease resistance, resistance to low temperatures, attractiveness. It forms a tall, sprawling bush of long, beautifully curving branches, strewn with healthy and healthy foliage.

The Crown Princess Margareta Ostinka rose flower is densely double and has an average of 40 to 120 petals. They form a rosette bowl that emanates a strong tea rose-style aroma with a touch of fruit. The average flower diameter is 10 cm. The bud is rounded with a sharp top. Flowers are collected in brushes and bloom one by one. The flower lasts up to 7 days, almost does not react to rain. Burns out to a pale yellow in the heat.

The Englishwoman prefers sun or partial shade. The pH of the soil is optimal for her - 5.6 - 6.5. The Crown Princess Margareta rose propagates by cuttings and dividing the bush. The rose has typical pests and diseases:

Care

We water the plant when upper layer the soil will dry out by 3-4 cm. At the same time, we try to water the entire root zone. We do not pour water on the bush, but under the bush. The water should be warm. For maximum soil saturation, we recommend watering the Crown Princess Margareta rose in the evening hours, so that everything is well saturated with moisture during the night. Another way to make the rose pleasant is to sprinkle in the evening in the heat. Watering at this time will also have to be increased up to 3-4 times a week instead of 1-2. For 1 adult bush, you will need up to 15 liters of water.

We fertilize the plant without fail, starting from the moment when it was opened after winter. Then we hold an event once every two weeks. In addition to mineral and organic fertilizers, the rose requires the introduction of vitamins and microelements. They are brought in in calm, gloomy, but dry weather. One top dressing can be combined with watering. Both liquid and solid fertilizers are used. The last nitrogen-free feeding is given no later than the first half of September

Loosening the soil and removing weeds is imperative. These types of gardening work help the plant's root system to receive more oxygen and accelerate the penetration of moisture and nutrients. They are made carefully so as not to damage the roots.

Another important point in the life of roses - pruning. Its purpose is not only to form a bush, but also to keep it clean. It is performed in spring or autumn. At the bush of the English rose Crown Princess Margareta, 5-7 main skeletal branches are left, which are shortened by 2/3, and the old, diseased and unnecessary ones are removed. If during the winter the plant has undergone frostbite, then it is shortened to healthy tissue. I use only clean and sharp tools. During flowering, faded flowers are cut out, cut off over the first true leaf and completely faded brushes. This will stimulate the emergence of new flowers.

Usage

climbing rose Crown Princess Margareta

The use of the English rose Crown Princess Margareta in the arrangement of the site has a wide range - from single planting to planting in a wide variety of woody-floral compositions.

Reviews from Rosebuck.

A beautiful healthy rose, but, indeed, much paler than in the catalog (although it does not spoil it), and, indeed, the bush literally falls apart in all directions without a garter. But after looking at the album of one of the rose growers, I realized that we were simply planting English roses incorrectly. They need to be planted on an elevation, for example, an elevation along a wall, like a high wide curb with earth. If English roses are planted there, they fall so wonderfully in cascades of flowers to the ground under the dais that it looks like a fountain. I realized that English roses were designed to fall down for this, and we artificially tie them up, forcing them to grow up, for which they are not adapted, so it looks somehow not very good. If you do not fight with their nature, but allow them to grow the way they are intended, this is a complete delight!

The first year was growing and the flowers were striking with a smell, of course. But most of all I was surprised by the attractiveness of the bush, I could not pass by, I always stopped and looked, looked ... The look goes deep into the flowers and dissolves ... I cannot say about her "rose, flower", she is so majestic

There are a lot of buds this year (third summer). Do not whip yet. Shoots are thin, drooping under the weight of flowers. The flowers are very nice. Half-open - pink mother-of-pearl colors. The open ones are very tightly packed compact dark yellow rosettes, the petals are laid neatly and evenly. The combination is perceived as very unusual and intriguing. The smell, in my opinion, is simply amazing, it is complex, rich and strong.

My Princess is 5th year old. Height -2 meters, width -2 meters. It blooms along the entire length of the shoots all summer long almost without interruption, a delightful sight. I never have yellow, orange inside, apricot around the edges. Grows in full sun, grafted on varnish. It can be cut very well and grows well on its own roots. I consider her the most best grade Austin. Even in an unfavorable rainy summer, there is not a single speck on it.

Awesome variety! I love, I love, I love ... It grows fast, the bush is powerful, the flowers are beautifully shaped and have a wonderful aroma, evenly distributed throughout the bush. Even among the Ostins, the very first bloom. It hibernates perfectly to the tips of the branches. It grows on the east side of the house, receiving sun only before lunchtime. Pleases in any weather.

The rose is unkillable, the bushes grow huge, the smell is felt only near the bush, it is beautifully cuttings and grows on its own roots. A garter is required as the flowers look down. It fades very quickly in the sun. Lovers of bright colors will not like it, the rose is pale.

Rose Princess Margaret was bred in the UK in the nursery of David Austin in 1999. Named after Princess Margarita from Sweden, who was a professional gardener. In the article, we will consider the characteristics and description of the Princess Margaret rose variety.

Description rose Crown Princess Margaret (Crown Princess Margareta)

Rose Crown Princess Margareta belongs to the group of leander hybrids. It is resistant to fungal diseases and rain, very beautiful (in shape, indeed, it resembles a princess's crown), tolerates cold well.

The bush is tall, spreading, with long flexible branches, the foliage is small, but lush, bright green in color. The height of the shrub can reach up to 180 cm with a width of one meter, which should be taken into account when planting, since the side branches tend to grow rapidly in breadth.

The flowers of the Princess Margaret rose are fluffy, large, from ten to twelve centimeters in diameter. In one bud, there can be from forty to one hundred and twenty tightly packed petals, twisted into a densely filled bowl. The aroma is persistent, strong, pink, with pronounced hints of ripe summer fruits.

Flowering at Princess Margaret is abundant, continuous, several times throughout the summer, racemose. The buds are resistant to rain, but prone to fading in the sun - they become pale yellow, but this does not spoil the overall beautiful picture.

Growing the Crown Princess Margareta variety

English rose Princess Margaret prefers to grow on fertile, nutrient-rich soil with a slightly acidic reaction. If there is a lack of acidity, it can be corrected by the introduction of manure and peat, and if an alkaline environment predominates in the ground, it is easily “extinguished” with lime or wood ash.

Before disembarking at open ground it is recommended to keep the seedlings in a root growth stimulator for 3-4 hours. The depth of the planting hole is 60 cm, the bottom of the hole is lined with a 10-cm layer of drainage from expanded clay and fine river sand. A nutritious earthen composition (peat, rotted manure and humus-rich soil) should also be added to the hole. The bush is placed straight, the roots are straightened. The deepening of the inoculation site should be hidden under the ground by 3 cm. Then the material is gradually covered with earth, after which it is well tamped, watered and mulched.

In the future, watering the Crown Margarita rose should be after the topsoil dries up by three to four centimeters. The water should be settled, warm, preferably warmed by the rays of the sun. It is necessary to pour water only under the roots, on the aboveground part of the plant - it is impossible. Watering is best done in the evening or early in the morning, so that the water does not evaporate, and the bush has time to get drunk properly. In hot weather, to water treatments spraying of the upper part of the bush is added under the roots, and watering is increased to three times a week.

Fertilizers are applied immediately after removing the winter shelter, then - every 14 days. Organic and mineral compounds are used, which should be alternated with each other. At the same time, one application of top dressing can be combined with watering. In the spring, the rose is fed with nitrogen, in the summer and closer to autumn, potassium and phosphates are added. When buds begin to set, it is best to feed the shrub with a mullein. Then the flowering will be especially abundant and beautiful.

You should also regularly loosen the soil, ensuring optimal air exchange between the root system of the plant and the external environment. Weeds are removed and pruning is carried out. It is mandatory: thanks to her, the bush not only looks beautiful and neat, but also heals, and fungal diseases will bypass him.

In spring, frozen and dried branches are removed, leaving the strongest, in an amount of five to seven. They are shortened by two-thirds: this pruning is called medium and promotes the rapid growth of lateral branches, giving the rose maximum decorative effect. In the summer, they prune those branches that are out of the general picture or thicken the bush too much. Faded buds are removed in time. In autumn, pruning is also sanitary in nature: those shoots that are sick or very thin are cut off, since they will not survive the winter cold, and in the spring they will still have to be removed.

A shelter for the winter is built from spruce branches and a wire frame, on which a non-woven material is pulled and plastic wrap... With the onset of spring, the bushes begin to gradually air, and when the weather is stable, the shelter is removed completely.

With proper care, the luxurious Margarita will always delight the owner with abundant and continuous flowering and a classic floral scent, and the frost resistance of the Ostinoks will always help them to survive the cold in the most severe Russian regions with dignity.

Rosary Rose Crown Princess Margareta:

Roses are amazingly beautiful shrubs from the Rosaceae family. On the household plots v middle lane many species, varieties and garden forms are cultivated. A special group is made up of the flowers of David Austin - the famous English breeder. Bright to present this series - the rose Princess Margaret.

Austin roses

David Austin specialized in the creation of rose varieties. The idea came to him in the middle of the twentieth century. Then he saw the ancient views of these beautiful plants and decided to cross them with the modern hybrid tea group. He was faced with the task of preserving the previous decorative qualities and increasing the resistance of plants to unfavorable factors.

Rose Princess Margaret

As a result, more than 200 varieties have been created. So far they have not been singled out into a separate group, but they all have some distinctive features... David Austin focused on an extraordinary aroma, a long flowering period and a variety of colors - among the old roses there were neither yellow nor orange.

Princess Margaret was received in 1999. This is a relatively young variety. The official name is Rose Crown Princess Margareta. The breeder named it after the Swedish princess Margarita, who was fond of floriculture.

The name literally translates as "Crown Princess Margaret". However, among flower lovers, it is customary to use not a literal translation, but a name corresponding to the pronunciation. Therefore, in Russia, the variety is called Crown Princess Margaret or simply Princess Margarita. But the name rose Crown Prince Margaret rose from any point of view is wrong.

Variety characteristics

Crown Princess Margareta is a rose belonging to the group of leander hybrids.

Botanical Description:

• the bush is tall, spreading, reaches 2 m in height and 1 m in width, resembles a crown in shape;
• drooping stems, when grown without support, they tilt to the ground;
• there are almost no thorns;
• leaves are small, rich green color;
• blooms in small clusters of 3-5 inflorescences, from early summer to autumn;
• flowers are medium, rosette, terry, apricot color;
• the diameter of each flower is 10-12 cm;
• the aroma is pleasant, with pronounced fruity notes.

The plant is unpretentious, resistant to common diseases. In particular, powdery mildew and black spot. Winter hardiness is high - under cover it can withstand frosts down to -35 ° С.

Growing features

Rose Princess Margarita is grown in much the same way as other varieties. It grows well on moderately moist and well-fertilized loamy soil. The optimum pH is 5.6-6.5. The soil is prepared in advance - they dig up, fertilize, carefully select the weeds.

The plant can be planted twice per season:

• in spring - as soon as the soil warms up to + 10 ° С and the threat of return frosts is over;
• in the fall - about 30 days before the onset of cold weather.

The place is chosen in partial shade. In the bright sun, flowers quickly fade and lose their brightness. For normal development the plant has enough lighting for 4-5 hours.

Since the bushes grow powerful, a sufficient distance is left between them - at least 1 m. The planting holes are dug 60 cm deep. A drainage layer must be laid at the bottom, because roses do not tolerate stagnant water. After planting, the soil is well moistened so that it settles to the roots.

Planting a rose

In the first year of cultivation, the buds are cut so that the plant has time to build up green mass and take root in a new place. Thanks to this procedure, more flowers will form next season.

On a note! The plant needs support for tying, otherwise the stems will "crumble" in different directions.

Caring for the Princess Margarita rose consists of:

• loosening the soil;
• watering;
• pruning;
• removal of weeds;
• dressing.

The earth is carefully loosened, trying not to touch the roots. Thanks to the procedure, air and moisture permeability is improved.

Loosening the soil

Watering is carried out as the soil dries up, following certain recommendations:

• use only warm, settled water;
• the optimal watering time is evening;
• do not allow water to enter the leaves.

On a note! In the heat, the bushes are additionally sprayed warm water from a spray bottle.

The bushes are pruned periodically. The procedure is carried out in different ways depending on the desired goals. When growing a climbing form, only sanitary pruning is carried out at the beginning and end of the season - branches that are injured and growing inside the bush are removed. To obtain drooping shoots, they are shortened every spring by 1/5 part.

Roses quickly consume nutrients from the soil. Therefore, they are fed regularly - every 2-3 weeks:

• at the beginning of the growing season - nitrogen-containing fertilizers;
• during flowering and in autumn - potash and phosphorus.

For the assimilation of minerals, organic matter is needed - mullein, bird droppings, humus. Both types of dressings are applied alternately.

Roses are covered for the winter. The lashes are removed from the supports and folded neatly, leaving free space. The air gap surrounding the stems limits the development of pathogens.

Roses are covered for the winter.

From above, the bush is covered with sawdust, spruce branches or wrapped non-woven fabric... The thickness of the coating depends on the climatic characteristics of the region.

Important! To prevent the roses from rotting, the protective layer is equipped only after the temperature has dropped to -5 ° C.

Rose Crown Princess Margarita is propagated by:

• By cuttings - choose stems that go from a herbaceous to a woody state. The sections are treated with a root growth stimulant and kept at home or in a greenhouse at a temperature of + 20 ... + 22 ° C.
• By dividing the bush - the procedure is carried out in the fall or spring before the buds bloom. The bush is cut into pieces. Most of the branches are pre-cut so that they do not interfere and do not take nutrients. Thanks to this procedure, the plant rejuvenates and develops better.

Tools are pre-sharpened and disinfected.

Advantages and disadvantages

Rose Crown Princess Margaret is loved by millions of gardeners. It has many advantages:

• endurance and resistance to disease;
• abundant and long flowering;
• flowers are large, double, not afraid of rain;
• pleasant fruity-floral aroma;
• easy propagation with cuttings.

Florists who grow this variety of roses noted some disadvantages:

• in the first years of life, few flowers are formed;
• with age, the stems become coarse, so problems arise when sheltering for the winter;
• in the bright sun, the flowers quickly fade and turn pale.

With proper care, Crown Princess Margareta roses will delight the owner with abundant and long flowering. The bushes look luxurious both singly and in group plantings. Due to their frost resistance and unpretentiousness, they are grown even in regions with a harsh climate.
