Rosa hybrid tea pis. Rose varieties Gloria Dei (Gloria Dei). Autumn pruning roses "Gloria Day"

Description of the rose Gloria Dei Cl.: advantages and disadvantages

The original variety - Gloria Dei - belongs to the tea-hybrid variety of roses and was bred in the period from 1935 to 1939 in the French nursery of Meillant. This plant was introduced to the world market after the end of the Second World War - in 1945. And four years later, in 1949, the American breeder Lee Brady discovered the climbing of this variety - a special bud mutation that gives the shoots a climbing shape.

So, the climbing form of the roseGloriaDei is not a separate variety, but a by-product of a bud mutation of the tea plant. hybrid rose with the same name. This must be taken into account when buying a seedling. If the name of the variety is followed by the abbreviation "Cl." or the mark "Climbing", which means that the rose will be climbing. If there are no such designations - the usual tea-hybrid.

The main characteristics of the Gloria Dei Climbing rose are summarized in the following table:

Like its parent variety, Gloria Dei Climbing is most valued for the beauty of the sunrise-like flower. In full bloom, the flower is very large, elegant, classic goblet-shaped hybrid tea. Other advantages of this climbing include:

strong growth and beautiful bush habit;
the suitability of the flower for cutting;
the ability to re-bloom;
good immunity to fungal infections.

Among the shortcomings, it should be noted the insufficient winter hardiness of the plant, the late entry into flowering (closer to mid-June) and poor shade tolerance.

Tip #1 Reproduction of climbings is not an easy task, because if they are grafted incorrectly, their properties can be lost. Therefore, you need to purchase seedlings only in professional, proven nurseries.

Reviews of rose growers about the rose Gloria Dei Cl.

Russian rose growers are familiar with Gloria Dei climbing by other trade names - Gioia Climbing or Peace Climbing. This is the same variety produced by different nurseries.

O climbing rose Gloria Dei Climbing opinions of the owners are mostly positive:

“The variety makes a strong impression! Giant flowers, the height of the bush is more than 2 meters. But, unfortunately, I planted it unsuccessfully - in a ventilated place. In winter, all the snow was blown off the site, and the rose froze. And I still can’t forget her, I’m looking for a good nursery to buy a seedling. My climbing Gloria Dei was admired by everyone! People even came to take pictures next to her” (Tatyana, Saratov).

“A vibrant and healthy rose! I ordered by mail, I received not a seedling, but a “rusk”. I sent it to a bucket of water and forgot about it for a month. When I remembered, it turned out that I had spread the roots and took root. By that time everything good places the plot was busy, and my poor thing got into clay and stones. But in a year she grew a bush under 4 meters, and most importantly - amazing beautiful flowers! Love this rose (and my neighbors do)"(Elena, Sukhum, Abkhazia).

“The variety is beautiful, but in the Moscow region it grows and blooms tightly. I have 4 years growing without flowering. He gave thick trunks of 2.5 meters. Almost didn't get sick. Finally, in the 5th year it bloomed with nine beautiful flowers. Repeat bloom also pleased - 10 flowers. And then it broke when laying for the winter at the very vaccination, and turned black by spring. I ordered a new seedling from another manufacturer. I'm waiting for the second year, until it blooms "(Natalia, Moscow).

“My climbing bush Gloria Dea is already 4 years old. It survives the winter, mostly well in our harsh climate. It hibernates under a construction bag and a layer of snow. A climbing form does not work, because in the spring you have to cut the frozen shoots to live wood. But it blooms profusely, the flower is tightly stuffed, delicate, with a light aroma. The problem is only during long rains - the bud does not open and rots. And so - very beautiful rose!» (Elizaveta, Kemerovo region).

An analysis of the comments allows us to conclude that Gloria Dei Cl. - sun- and heat-loving variety, more suitable for growing in climatic zones with mild winters. However, this rose is able to grow even in Siberia, although there it does not fully show its potential.

Rules for growing roses Gloria Dei Cl

Increase the chances of Gloria Dei Cl. for manifestation best qualities varieties will help the following rules:

planting in a sunny, windless area;
watering once a week for 20-30 liters under a bush;
mulching of the trunk circle;
regular top dressing according to the general fertilization plan for roses (See also the article ⇒);
moderate pruning with the preservation of productive old lashes, from which flower stalks grow annually;
garter to the support with the location of the lashes at an angle to the horizontal plane;
creation winter shelters, especially when growing a variety in regions with cold winters (See also the article ⇒).

Despite the relative resistance of the rose Gloria Dei Cl. to fungal diseases, their prevention should not be neglected. This is especially true for growing in wet areas or in a damp climate. Preventive spraying with Fitolavin, Oxyhom or Ridomil Gold fungicides will provide the necessary protection against infections.

Tip #2 According to rose growers, rose Gloria Dei Cl. not too demanding texture soil. However, this variety shows the best result on high-humus loose soils withpH close to neutral. The rose responds well to the spring application of humus and mature compost in trunk circle. Acidic soils deoxidize before planting dolomite flour. Heavy ones are cultivated by adding loosening components (chipped straw, river sand, brick chips, compost).

Topical questions about growing roses Gloria Dei Cl.

Question number 1. Rose Gloria Dei Cl. thrips attacked. How to get rid of them?

The fight against thrips requires patience and systematic treatments of both the plant and the soil. You can try alternating preparations "Aktara", "Confidor" and "Fitoverm". Infected buds must be cut and burned.

Gloria Day is one of the extraordinary experiments, her birth is a whole story huge amount people from different parts of the world, each of whom has contributed. One flower attracted the attention of too many to call it in one way, so today the variety is registered under four different names: Madame Mayan (France), Gloria Dei (Germany and most Russian-speaking countries), Gioia (Italy), Peace (USA and English-speaking countries). ).

Description

Gloria Day is a hybrid tea, known for its unusual coloration, which changes throughout the flowering period. The verbal description poorly conveys the beauty of the flower: the color of the bud from golden yellow with a bright crimson border, as it opens, smoothly turns into a more delicate ombre in warm, pastel colors.

Did you know? In Catholicism, the rose is the symbol of the Mother of God. White Rose symbolizes heavenly life, and red - earthly life.

From tea varieties, the flower inherited rich green glossy leaves of medium size, which creates a very harmonious contrast with the sunny bud.

Bush Gloria Day reaches 120-150 cm in height, the number of bearing branches is added over the years, in the first year of vegetation there can be 2-3. The flowers are large, double, bloom from dense buds. The diameter of a fully opened bud is 10-15 cm.

Variety history

The source codes that participated in the hybridization of the variety were brought from America by a Frenchman named Antoine Meillant from the suburbs of Lyon, who, together with his son France Meillant, bred this variety. To assess the scale of the work done by the French, suffice it to say about 800 seedlings, 750 of which were rejected and destroyed as unsuitable.

Among the remaining 50, which were allowed to grow and bloom, was Gloria. The only bush with incredibly sunny, smelling fruits and flowers gave only 3 buds, of which only one took root. This is how, a step away from death, the future “rose of the century” began its history.

It is worth saying that the breeders did not set out to bring out a yellow-pink hybrid and the appearance of the beauty was a pleasant surprise for them. In letters and catalogues, Meiyan the elder speaks of his offspring with great love and tenderness; it is not surprising that it was after the birth of Gloria that he first introduced color catalogs into circulation.

In the distant 1940s, when even color photo was a rarity, color catalogs were an incredibly expensive undertaking, such waste could ruin the then still small pink business of the Mayan family, but the variety was so extraordinary and beautiful that Antoine took a chance and was not mistaken.

As soon as the photographs of the rose, still under the working title 3-35-40 (3 combination-1935-40 seedling), appeared on the pages of the catalog, an avalanche of orders fell on the family - everyone wanted to see a piece of exotic in their yard. Soon, breeders had to expand their land in order to keep up with all the incoming orders.

1939 - the year when Gloria Dei was destined to get into every corner of the world. By that time, the Mayan rose nursery had become known not only in France, but also abroad, and in 1939 French and foreign experts gathered in the suburbs of Lyon to conclude contracts and view the achievements of the nursery.

Needless to say, they were delighted from one glance at Gloria? After this congress, with the attached description, they were sent to breeders and scientists from the USA, Germany, Meiyan invited colleagues to get acquainted with the variety, study it and think together about the name, but the flower growers' plans were hindered by politics: the Second World War began. Communications between the countries were lost for six years.

But each of those who got the stalk of a beautiful rose managed to save it. So the Germans called the rose "Glory to the Lord" or Gloria Dei - a name that has taken root in Russian-speaking countries. Cheerful Italians liked the name Gioia or "Joy". The Americans distinguished themselves most of all, they registered a variety on the day of the capture of Berlin under the name Peace, apparently implying the value of peace (the absence of war) and all its beauty.

Did you know? Roses are the only plants botanical classification which are not supposed to belong to species, but stable garden signs(color, stem height, bud size).

For the very same breeder-inventor, Frans Meilland, the name for the rose was very personal, he named it as part of his prematurely deceased mother - Madame A. Meilland ("Madame Meilland").

Characteristics

Morphology. Peace or Gloria Dei has a very appearance. A glossy green bush, which is gaining its bulk by the 2-3rd year of the growing season, looks gorgeous even during the dormant period. The size of the rose bush is quite impressive: 120-150 cm in height, but Gloria Dei does not differ in the density of the bush, a maximum of 5-7 large shoots extend from the root, so they are planted in a heap. The diameter of a fully opened flower is 10-15 cm; the height of the bud is about 6 cm, and the number of petals on the flower bed is from 26 to 45 (+ -). It's pretty large variety. The stems of the rose are covered with rare, but large and sharp thorns, which makes it quite convenient for decoration.
Aroma. Gloria has a very pleasant fruity-honey aroma. Its saturation can be different depending on climatic and soil-temperature conditions.
Growth conditions. Like all roses, this variety loves soil rich in organic matter. Fertile chernozems are ideal, which are recommended to be additionally fertilized with manure and peat. But beauties feel great without mineral dressings. Gloria Dei loves light, can be planted in areas lit by the sun in the morning. With moderate access sun rays, the flower also feels good, but planting in the shade is not recommended.

Variety features

The variety is quite unpretentious:

resistant to fungal diseases and rot;
winters well, in regions where the temperature drops below -20 ° C, spruce branches or;
blooms a little later than most roses: from early June to early July;
the color of the flower petals changes with the stages of bud opening to lighter and more delicate, the aroma also changes over time - from thick honey-fruity to light fruity.

Choosing a place in the garden and planting

Features of planting and care depend on the "form" you have a rose: cuttings, seedlings or seeds. Let's say right away that growing a rose from seeds is not a task for the lazy or impatient, because the whole process from start to finish will take about a year, and germination and preparation for germination is a completely separate conversation. To quickly build your own, it is best to use seedlings or cuttings and we Let's figure out how to properly prepare the plants and plant them in the ground:

The stalk is taken from the bush in the period from the formation of buds to the end of flowering. They choose a strong cutting that appeared in the current year, at least 8 cm long, on which there are at least 3-4 cinquefoils. The upper part with the bud is cut off with an even cut, and the lower part obliquely, at an angle of 45 °, the developed sheets also need to be cut to reduce the evaporation of moisture.

One of highlights in cuttings - the correct cut relative to the growth buds, we can say that the life of the plant depends on this.

Further, we immerse our stalk with a sharp end in a wet nutrient soil so that 1-2 growth buds go underground. You can pre-treat the cut with preparations, for example. Two weeks after planting, we carefully monitor soil moisture, if the air is too dry, cover the stalk with a jar or other transparent cover to reduce moisture evaporation.

Cuttings can be planted in open ground in early summer or in pots in autumn. Best Results gives summer cultivation, but if you decide to start in the fall, check out some rules.

4 weeks after planting, in case of rooting, the cuttings are transferred to a dark, cool place until the very spring (late March, early April), and in the summer seedlings with an already developed root system are planted in open ground. , a minimum moisture once a month will be enough, otherwise rot can be provoked.

Planting seedlings. You can plant seedlings in open ground from mid-April to mid-October. Plants need to be prepared:

Refresh root system, trimming the tips of the roots by about 0.5 cm, this will give a boost to growth and help identify non-viable roots. A healthy live root should be white on the cut, if the cut is brown, you need to remove the dead part until a white cut appears, sometimes you have to remove the entire root.
Treat the root system with Kornevin, or another rooting agent, it will do.

After the seedling is ready, take up the landing site:

the hole should be slightly larger than the root system of the seedling;
1/3 of the finished hole needs to be filled with a mixture, and, but if you have black soil, you can limit yourself to the preliminary application of humus;
a seedling is “placed” on the formed mound, making sure that the tops of the roots are not raised up;
holding the seedling upper part, 1-2 liters of water are poured into the hole, depending on the dryness of the soil;
the hole is wrapped with soil, lightly tamping the ground at the roots with your fingers.

Important! If Gloria Dei, you need to dig in a seedling so that the beginning of Gloria's growth zone is 3-5 cm in the ground. This will allow the cultivated rose to acquire its own roots and prevent the emergence of wild rosehip shoots.

Gloria Dei is not picky in care, resistant to low temperatures and diseases. Needs a standard set of rose care: pruning, watering and, sometimes, top dressing.

Watering

Water the rose as the soil dries out, as the flower does not like stagnant water. It is desirable that the water for irrigation be warm and settled for at least a day. When watering from a hose, you need to make sure that the water does not get too much on the bush, because despite the evening time, burns may remain on the sheets.

top dressing

The rose needs twice a year, before each of the flowering periods. As a rule, the first time is mid-April, and the second is approximately the end of July, but this is approximate and depends on the variety.

Wet, such as humus and including nitrogen, are introduced into the first top dressing. Nitrogen will help the bush gain a rich green mass and make the color of the foliage more saturated. In the second feeding, they exclude and focus on - - this will give impetus to the maturation of young shoots.

Originator: Meilland, 1945.
hybrid tea rose, up to 1.20 m high.

One of the most popular hybrid tea roses today. Rose Society of America Gold Medalist (1947) Great Britain (1947). Winner of various international rose competitions from 1944 to 1976. The special status of this rose, magnificent flowering and power, as well as the history of its appearance in the world of rose growers, leaves the variety superior. Rosa "No. 1" Gloria Dei remains unsurpassed and desirable for any collector.

Bloom.

Rose buds are quite large, so it takes a long time to gain strength for flowering. The outer petal, which is visible in the bud, has a red-cherry tint. In bloom, the flowers are quite bright, yellow with a pink bloom around the edges. The flowers are strong, well-shaped, with a sharp center. The size of the flowers is 12-15 cm, which is considered large. Terry flowers give petals in an amount of up to 40-45!.

The aroma is refined and for a tea-hybrid rose - quite strong!

Flowering is plentiful. Flowers are holding on long time and little spoiled by rain.

bushes.

Rose bushes are large, strong, reaching 1.00-1.50 m in height. Shoots are strong, upright. The leaves are large, dark green, usually dense, leathery, shiny.

The variety is also resistant to typical diseases of roses, winter-hardy.

Suitable for growing in groups, for cutting, for stem culture.

"Gloria Day" is recognized worldwide as the standard of roses. She was awarded the honorary title of "Rose of the Century", she is considered a symbol of peace and harmony of the twentieth century. The history of the creation of Gloria Day and its further distribution in the world are closely connected with key historical events the first half of the last century.

Family passion for roses

Rosa "Gloria Day" was bred in a French family nursery Meilland. The prehistory of this significant event is interesting. In the middle of the 19th century there lived a Lyon gardener named Joseph Rambaux, he was very fond of roses and brought out eight new varieties. His daughter's husband, Francis Dubreuil, also became interested in roses, crossed them and brought out 64 varieties of roses. The family rose business was continued by his daughter with her husband Antoine Meilyan and son Francis Meilyan ( Francis Meilland, 1912 - 1958). Francis has helped his parents since childhood. After the First World War, the family purchased a piece of land for a rose nursery.

1930s, seedling 3-35-40

In the thirties, Francis made a trip to America, where he talked a lot with the American rose breeder D.H. Nicholas. From America, Francis brought new ideas, a patent for copyright protection (there was no such document in Europe), a color catalog of roses and a refrigerator for storing roses.

On June 15, 1935, Francis and his father, Antoine Meillant, were looking at fifty young hybrids that had just blossomed. All of them were grown from seeds in the Meilland nursery. One specimen with an unusual color of double flowers really liked Francis. Thus began the glorious history of the world-famous tea-hybrid rose. The seedling was assigned a working number 3-35-40 and tried to propagate it. The rose had only three buds (eyes) suitable for grafting. Two eyes died, only one kidney survived. The most famous rose The 20th century began with that kidney.

Rose was great. It was an obvious breakthrough in breeding. Francis did not have time to place orders, as everyone wanted to have new variety. A certain number of seedlings had to get outside of France. Young Francis proved to be a good organizer. He released a color catalog of roses (rather than the usual black and white list), thanks to which all the roses grown in the nursery began to quickly sell out. The nursery also made good money from the production of refrigerators for roses. Prior to that, they were not in Europe. Francis continued to engage in selection. He independently bred the Golden State rose variety, which became the emblem of the 1939 exhibition in San Francisco.

In June 1939, leading rose breeders gathered at the Meilland family nursery, and foreign clients were also invited. They were shown new roses and signed contracts for the supply of seedlings. A small number of 'Gloria Day' cuttings were sent to overseas nurseries in Italy, Germany and the United States to receive feedback and discuss the name of the rose. Parcels were accompanied by her description. The rose that admired everyone by that time did not yet have an official status, since the variety was not registered. As it turned out later, the cuttings sent by mail managed to reach almost all recipients. But contacts with foreign breeders were interrupted by World War II.

Four names for the rose

In the Meillant family, they decided to give the rose the name of the tragically deceased wife of Antoine and mother of Francis. The rose was named "Mine A. Meilland" ("Madame Meilland"). During the war, Francis Meilyan was not taken into the army, as he had a stomach ulcer. In order to survive, the family was engaged in growing vegetables. But part of the time was devoted to roses. Whenever possible, the nursery sent parcels with cuttings to those addresses of customers who managed to place orders before the war. Francis did not know if the package would reach, but he tried to fulfill all orders. In May 1940, Francis and his wife Maria Louise, who from the age of six helped her father grow roses, had a son, Alain.

In each country that received rose cuttings, it was named differently. In France - "Mine A. Meilland" ("Madame Meilland"). In Italy - "Gioia" ("Delight"), in Germany - "Gloria Dei" ("Glory to the Lord"), the rose came to the USSR from Germany with the German name "Gloria Day". In the United States on April 29, 1945, the name of the rose was officially announced, dedicated to the imminent end of the war - "Peace" ("Peace"). There are a number of coincidences in the history of the Gloria Day rose: the variety receives the All-American Award on the day of the victory over Japan, and the award of the medal coincided with the signing of the peace treaty between the United States and Japan.

Francis managed to ensure that breeders have a copyright on the new plant varieties they bred. Prior to this, such patents were not issued in Europe. In 1948, F. Meillant received his first patent for the Rouge Meillant variety.

The triumph of the rose "Gloria Day"

This wonderful hybrid tea rose has become a symbol of peace and harmony. At the First UN Assembly in San Francisco in 1945, the head of each delegation of the founding countries was presented with a Gloria Day flower.

Rose has consistently won the most prestigious international competitions and exhibitions. "Gloria Day" is still considered a classic, the standard of hybrid tea roses. It is used in the development of new varieties. Many of these varieties become winners at the largest international exhibitions (Confidence, Prima Ballerina, Christian Dior, Pink Peace, Princess de Monaco and many others).

The author of the best rose of the century, Francis Meilland, died in 1958. People are grateful for beautiful rose, which has not one, but four official names! The nursery is still in operation. After enough early death Francis' business was taken over by his son Alan Meyan, who was then only eighteen years old. Now the nursery "Meilland International" is run by Francis' grandson, Matthias Meilyan. The nursery has gained worldwide fame; new varieties are bred in it, which are sent to many countries of the world.

Brief description of the variety "Gloria Day"

"Gloria Day" is a variety of hybrid tea rose with delicate lemon-yellow flowers with a pink coating and a delicate aroma. A goblet-shaped large bud, when blooming, first becomes greenish-yellow, then turns into golden-yellow tones with a slight pinkish tint, when blooming, the edges of the petals become intense pink in color. The rose is suitable for growing in the northern and southern regions. Her double flowers are densely double, sometimes with 45 or more petals! The diameter of the flowers is up to 15 (19) cm. The rose blooms continuously throughout the summer. The last flowers appear at the very end of autumn. The average height of the bush is 1 m, erect shoots have dark green leathery, glossy leaves. The variety is considered frost-resistant.

There are varieties of "Gloria Day": climbing "Gloria Dei Climing" and the standard form of this rose.

Autumn pruning roses "Gloria Day"

I have spoken to many growers (amateurs and professionals) involved in growing roses. They all unanimously admire Gloria Day. They don't have a consensus on which is better. Some believe that it is not necessary to shorten its shoots much, others adhere to bold pruning so that the bush becomes more magnificent in summer. Still others advise leaving all strong branches half shortened for the winter.

Variety "Gloria Day" is quite winter-hardy. Unfortunately my best rose varieties "Gloria Day" died. Not from frost, but from dampness. The peculiarity of that rose was the incredible number of petals and the long state of collection of the flower. After that failure, I only shelter Gloria Day for the winter. A couple of bushes in the past and the year before last overwintered without any shelter, only with adding compost to their base (replacing hilling). In the spring, they quickly recovered after an insignificant freezing.

Gloria Day among the flower growers of the planet is considered the standard. She was awarded the honorary title of "Rose of the Century", she is called a symbol of harmony and peace of the twentieth century. But few people know that the history of the creation of this variety, its further distribution around the world is associated with key events that took place in the first half of the last century.

family hobby

Rosa Gloria Day was bred in the Meilland nursery in France. The prehistory of its appearance is very interesting. In the middle of the nineteenth century, the Lyon gardener Joseph Rambaux, who was very fond of roses, was able to develop eight new varieties at once. And his son-in-law, Francis Dubreuil, who was also very interested in the "queen of flowers", as a result of crossing, has already brought out sixty-four species. The family business continued. The nursery grew so much, and the popularity of the seedlings bought from these gardeners became so great that after the First World War a new piece of land had to be purchased.

Triumph

Rosa Gloria Day was called a symbol of peace, harmony. At the very First Assembly of the United Nations, held in 1945 in San Francisco, the heads of delegations of each of the founding countries received this flower.

"Queen" has consistently won at prestigious exhibitions and international competitions. Gloria Day is still considered a classic - the standard of a hybrid rose. It is very often used as basic view to develop new varieties. Many of the new hybrids become winners of major international exhibitions. These are the varieties Prima Ballerina, Christian Dior, Princess of Monaco, etc. All of them owe their appearance to this wonderful flower: the ancestor of many of them is the Gloria Day rose.

Variety Description

Outwardly, this type of delicate lemon-yellow color with a pink coating. He has very delicate fragrance. A large goblet-shaped bud in the process of blooming first turns greenish-yellow, then becomes golden yellow with a slight pinkish tint, and already when blooming, the petals acquire an intense pink color at the edges. Rose Gloria Day, the description and care of which are considered in any special literature, is equally suitable for growing in both northern and southern regions. In its densely double flowers, sometimes forty-five or more petals. The diameter of the heads reaches nineteen centimeters.

Rosa Gloria Day blooms continuously throughout the summer. The last buds appear on it at the end of autumn. The bush reaches an average height of one meter. Its erect shoots are covered with dark green leathery glossy leaves. This rose is a hybrid tea. Gloria Day is considered hardy.

hybrids

This variety of roses is not only the best-selling in the world. Gloria Day is without a doubt considered the best hybrid tea variety. For decades, she has been not only the most beautiful of all existing varieties. It is called the most stable among the other representatives of the tea-hybrid family. Per last years, however, experts began to note that she had some susceptibility to such an ailment as black spot, but in no case can this be a reason to refuse to plant a variety that has conquered the world on its site.

On the basis of Gloria Day, breeders bred about three hundred and ninety varieties of roses. The work continues at the present time. The descendants of this wonderful representative of hybrid tea species are Berlin and Princess of Monaco, Reception in the Garden and Golden Crown, The talking sun and Fiery World, Love and Peace, as well as many others. In the fifties, breeders from different countries completely independently of each other, a new variety was bred - the rose variety Gloria Day climbing. He retained all the advantages of the original, but at the same time acquired the qualities of a creeper.

Landing

Plant it in early May, when the soil has completely thawed. To do this, select sunny, wind-protected places on garden plots. The soil needs to be well drained and also slightly acidic. Before planting, Gloria Day rose seedlings need to lower the water so that the plant is well saturated with moisture. Planting pits are prepared in advance: they should be up to forty centimeters deep. The distance between the bushes is the same - 40 cm.

Care

Need to water the rose warm water. Experts believe that it is best to use rainwater for this. Tap water must be defended during the day. For this shrub, it is desirable to have neutral soil, which is enriched with organic fertilizers.

Rosa Gloria Day needs periodic feeding. The best fertilizer slurry is considered for her, although mineral supplements also play an important role. The first time the plant is fed with urea in the spring. The second time you need to give potassium-phosphorus fertilizers.

When using slurry, it must first be prepared: two weeks before use, you need to mix fresh mullein with water (1: 3), add potassium sulfate and superphosphate there. The solution must be mixed well and used after two weeks, once again diluted with water in a ratio of 1:10.

Furrows that are thirty centimeters behind the side shoots are first spilled with water, and then with prepared fertilizer. Under each bush you need to pour about five liters of solution. After the soil dries, the furrows should be sprinkled with dry earth, and loosened the next day.

Rosa Gloria Day likes to be watered late in the evening, after the final sunset. In this case, the roots will not only take a sufficient amount of water, but will not be scorched by daylight. It is not necessary to cover the rose in winter, if it is not expected to be too severe frosts. This plant will only perfectly harden at temperatures up to minus fifteen degrees.

The neighborhood with marigolds helps to protect the rose from harmful organisms and diseases. They need to be planted around the rose garden: these unpretentious flowers release special enzymes into the air that perfectly fight against the many threats of the flower garden.

Experts advise not to let young and freshly planted seedlings bloom immediately. It is better to break off the first five or six buds, so that at first all the forces of the plant go to strengthen the roots. Knowing all the features of cultivation, there is no doubt that in six months a real flower garden will appear on the site, the main “hero” of which will be the Gloria Day rose.
