See how this flower looks in the photo.

History of occurrence

The floribunda family was obtained by crossing hybrid-polyanthus roses with hybrid tea and other garden groups. "Floibunda" literally means "abundantly blooming".

The variety itself, Mona Lisa, is fairly new, as it was discovered in 2007 by the French company Meilland International.

Differences from other types

Mona Lisa roses differ from other varieties in their amazing winter hardiness, disease resistance and long flowering.

Bloom

Roses bloom from June to October, each flower is collected in an inflorescence, on one peduncle there can be up to 5 flowers at the same time.

Care before and after

In order for flowers to please you with their marvelous flowering for as long as possible, you need:

• regular and abundant watering;
• seasonal top dressing (alternating mineral impurities and organics);
• loosening and mulching the soil;
• pruning.

In early spring, you can add peat and manure to the soil, so the bush will receive additional nutrition.

With the onset of winter, roses need protection. Despite their unpretentiousness, they need to be covered:

• cut bushes in half;
• remove the remaining leaves;
• pile up the earth;
• cover with oak leaves, spruce branches.

Your snow cover is ready.

What to do if it does not bloom?

Everyone can face the fact that this abundant flowering variety ceased to please with their buds. This testifies to improper care.The reasons may be:

• defeat by fungal diseases that inhibit the development of flowers;
• unsuitable soil (soil acidity should be 6-7 pH);
• severe frosts (the plant must be prepared in advance for winter).

Attention! Keep the flower bed where roses grow clean, treat the soil from grass that prevents moisture from entering.

Use in landscape design

For these beautiful flowers there is a place in any garden. A rose can become the basis of a flower garden, transform a mixborder, be used in a group or single planting. The plant is suitable for any landscape style.

Step by step care instructions

Place

The health of a rose depends largely on where it is planted.. It is necessary to find a lighted place where the plant can be in the shade in the midday heat, this will help to avoid burns on the petals. Also, roses will be comfortable in a corner where there is no constant drying draft.

Time

Floribundas love it warm months. The best option from mid-April to the end of May. However, if you decide to plant flowers in the fall, then you should start by mid-September, because they will have time to take root before the onset of frost. The deadline for planting is the middle and end of October.

What should be the soil?

Rose bushes do well in breathable soil. where the plant will be provided with a sufficient amount of moisture and air.

In order for clayey heavy black soil to become light, peat, compote, sand or humus should be added to them.

If the soil is too light, then you need to add clay soil with the addition of sod land, compost or humus. Favorable soil reaction is slightly acidic. Optimal depth groundwater- not less than 100 cm.

Landing

Let's list known ways landing.

Growing from seed

It is very important to buy quality seeds . They are planted in the ground in compliance with the care regimen. It cannot be said that such a planting will give one hundred percent pecking, usually several shoots are obtained from a pack.

Important! At home, this method is ineffective, since it is difficult to preserve the specific features of roses.

seedlings

How to choose a seedling? The seedling must have three mature lignified shoots with intact bark and developed root system with many thin spines. The diameter of the root collar should be the same below and above the grafting site and not exceed 5-8 mm.

• First way. Landing is carried out by two people. Pour the finished mixture into the pit, then lower the seedling into it to a depth of 8 cm. The second person straightens the roots and fills them with soil mixture, compacting with his hands. After that, the seedling is watered until moisture is completely absorbed and spudded with earth, leaving until spring. When planting, try not to damage the bark on the neck and skeletal roots.
• Second way. A bucket of water with a tablet of heteroauxin or sodium humate is poured into the pit. Hold the seedling with one hand, lowering it into the center of the pit, and slowly fill in the soil mixture with the other. Compact the soil periodically and shake the plant. Watering in this case is not needed. If the ground has sagged, raise the seedling a little by adding earth and spudding it by 15 cm. After the seedlings need to be shaded, it will take 10-12 days.

Temperature

The Mona Lisa rose tolerates the Russian winter well, its frost resistance allows it to endure low temperatures down to -29⁰C.

Watering

Every plant needs water. Do not forget that water consumption is not the same in different growth phases. During the period of intensive development (bud break, the appearance of leaves) and after the first flowering, the rose (new shoots) really needs watering. Do not water the flowers in the heat, spray, without falling on the leaves, settled water from a watering can without a nozzle to the base of the bush.

The defeat of fungal diseases of wet leaves increases at night.

With the onset of autumn, it is worth refraining from watering. The need for moisture arises if the soil is not moistened by precipitation.

top dressing

For top dressing use combined and organic fertilizers. Please note that floribunda reacts to salts in the soil solution, refrain from high doses of fertilizers.

Before planting roses, the ground should be fertilized with cow dung. It is filled into the upper layer, introducing about a kg per 1 m2 on light soil, about half of this value on heavy soil.

Do not let the roots come into contact with fresh manure, this will have a detrimental effect on the seedling.

Fertilizers are applied from the second year, doing this every spring and summer.

Weeding

Regular weeding will protect the plant from root rot.

Mulching

Before mulching, the soil is covered with a special material (leaves, peat, hay or old manure). For proper care use mulch or flooring. Spread an eight-centimeter layer of mulch between the flower bushes after trimming and working the beds.

loosening

For growth and development rose bushes need loose earth where moisture, air and heat penetrate. Loosening will help save water for irrigation and fertilization. Processing is carried out at a depth of not more than 10 cm.

pruning

First year

• Autumn. Shorten stems, trim diseased roots before planting.
• Spring. Shorten the main shoots by 3-5 poeks from the base of the bush.
• Autumn. Pinch off the main stems flowering shoots and cut off non-lignified shoots.

Second

• Spring. April-March. Trim off any dead stems and crossed shoots.
• Autumn. September October. Pinch off flowering shoots and main stems. Cut off non-flowering shoots. Subsequent years.
• Spring. It is necessary to remove dead parts of flowers, weak stems and shoots that grow inside. The thickened middle of the bush should be rid of the old stems.

Use a sharp pruner or garden pitch.

Transfer

For this, cuttings are suitable. The algorithm is simple:

1. cut stiff shoots;
2. remove thorns and leaves;
3. treat sections with special preparations;
4. install the cuttings halfway into the holes;
5. stick to an interval of 20-30 cm;
6. cover with a film until rooting;
7. water, air the seedlings and loosen the soil.

Hide young shoots for the winter, only after that the bushes can be planted in a new place.

Preparing for winter

Before shelter, cut the roses and spud the ground at the base of the bush. Build a frame from greenhouse arcs, slats, a profile or wire, it should be 20-30 cm above the plants. A heater is laid on it, a film is stretched on top, side vents remain.

Roses calmly tolerate light frosts, so you should not rush into shelter.

Types and methods of reproduction

cuttings

We cut the cuttings up to about 10 cm long, up to 0.7 cm thick, remove the leaves and thorns. Place them in a phytohormonal preparation for better rooting. The hole should be more than 10 cm, with one straight side where the cutting will lean against. Recommended planting distance 15-20cm. Then we cover this system with a film and periodically remove it for maintenance (ventilation, watering, etc.). Do not forget to remove weeds, they will prevent the growth of flowers.

Cuttings are prepared from young strong bushes.

Budding

The method is quite complex, subject to professionals. to the donor wild rosehip, a scion is grafted, they are tied to each other for a month so as not to disrupt growth. Slices are covered with garden pitch. After two weeks, we check the kidney, if it is green and swollen, everything is fine, otherwise the result is unsuccessful.

Diseases and pests

The most famous pests are spider mites, rose aphids or sawflies. spider mite and the rose sawfly are exterminated by DDT, Isofen or Akrex. Aphids can be removed by hand or with the help of Rogor, etc.

• Rust. Orange-red spots on the leaves are treated with zinc preparations.
• black spot. Black spots on leaves that are interconnected. You can use mullein infusion, if this does not help, then treat with Captan.
• powdery mildew. Red-brown spots that are covered with bloom. It should be treated with mullein infusion or insecticides Benlat, Karatan should be used.

Eliminate acidification of the soil near the planting area to protect the plant from this disease.

Amazing properties, easy care and amazing appearance will not leave indifferent any nature lover. This rose is suitable for both a novice gardener and a true professional. Thanks to its flowering, Mona Lisa will delight you for more than one year.

Gave standard rose. Mona Lisa, red, stem height 80 cm, in a pot there is a support to which a stem is attached. I would like advice on landing.
I understand that the support needs to be removed, the stem should be planted at an angle of 45 degrees, the support should be placed vertically on the other side of the bump (by the way, how? The roots will not be damaged when you insert it) ...
Correct or not? Please help with advice!

I'll tell you about my method of planting boles. I think that this method is the most acceptable, because it removes the problem of annual root injury, rather than sticking and pulling out a support stick every time in spring and autumn. I came up with this combination last spring. So I planted it.
Took metal-plastic pipe 1 meter long, I picked up an aluminum tube to it in diameter so that it entered the first one with a little effort (thus one does not dangle into the other). Metal-plastic, when planting, is driven into the ground by about 70 cm, respectively, a permanent base for an aluminum removable insert-holder of the trunk sticks out on the surface. Very comfortably.

Does it matter how to plant relative to the cardinal points. If like fruit seedlings, then with a bump to the south (and then bend to the south for the winter). Or does it matter?

When planting, it is necessary to take into account only that moment - WHERE you will lay your stem in the fall. So that it doesn’t work out on the track or, when laying down, suddenly don’t rest against the crown of the pink stem against a cherry or apple tree.

We get a vertical support and an inclined trunk for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, attach the stem to the support, thereby bringing it to a vertical position.

Yes, I did too.
