Reproduction methods

Since Mondial rose is a hybrid variety, it can only be grown vegetatively - by cuttings. It is necessary to start harvesting at the beginning or middle of summer - when the shoots are just beginning to form buds, or after the first inflorescences begin to fade.

Cuttings are cut only from semi-lignified shoots. For this, it is better to use relatively mature bushes (from the age of 3 years). The instruction is simple:

  1. Cuttings are obtained with a length of 7–8 cm so that the upper part is 0.5 cm higher than the bud.
  2. Two cuts are made - the upper straight and the lower oblique (45 °).
  3. Remove all leaves.
  4. The lower cut is immersed in a growth stimulant solution - for example, in "Heteroauxin" or aloe juice mixed with water (1: 1).
  5. After a few hours, rinse with water, planted immediately in open ground or in a box with a mixture of sand and peat (1: 1). In the case of planting in a garden bed, the same substrate must be poured over the soil.
  6. Cover the box with foil, and the seedlings in the open garden with plastic or glass jars.
  7. Moisturize abundantly daily.
  8. Give urea or ammonium nitrate after 15 days (1 incomplete tablespoon in a standard 10 liter bucket of water).
  9. A month later, cuttings of Mondial rose will give roots: at this moment, the banks can be removed.The seedlings are transferred from the box to a permanent place. If they were originally planted in the ground, this does not need to be done.
Important! Cuttings can be obtained even from donated roses, if several live buds have survived on them. The sequence of actions will be the same.

Growing and care

Judging by the reviews and description, it is not very difficult to care for the Mondial rose (pictured). But special attention must be paid to the composition of the soil. The flower prefers light, fertile soil. The best option is loose loam with a neutral reaction of the medium (pH = 7).

Rose Mondial blooms all summer only on fertile soil

If you are not sure, it is better to additionally conduct a test using a litmus test sold in a country store (alkaline earth is acidified with vinegar or citric acid, and acidic earth is made alkaline with slaked lime or dolomite flour).

The landing site itself should be:

  • well lit (completely open);
  • not waterlogged (better on a hill, not in lowlands);
  • protected from strong winds (buildings, trees, shrubs).

Planting is carried out in mid-April (south) or closer to the beginning of May (middle lane). In regions with an unfavorable climate (Ural, Siberia) - in mid-May. The sequence of actions is as follows:

  1. They clean and dig up the site.
  2. Garden compost or matured humus is added to the soil in the amount of 2-3 kg per 1 m2... You can also add a tablespoon of superphosphate and wood ash to each well. Thanks to this, Mondial rose buds will give lush flowers.
  3. Several pits are formed so deep that the roots of the rose are located in them freely, and there is still 10-15 cm of space.
  4. The seedling is rooted, covered with earth, lightly tamped. In this case, the root collar should remain close to the surface - the level of deepening is about 1 cm.
  5. It is abundantly watered with a bucket of settled water, mulched with humus, peat, straw or other materials.
Important! The interval between neighboring roses is at least 60 cm. In this case, the planting will be tight, this option is suitable for a hedge.

After planting, you need to take care of the Mondial rose like this:

  1. Watering every week, in case of drought - 2 times more often, with heavy rains - without additional moisture.
  2. Loosening the soil - regularly (one day after each watering).
  3. Fertilizers for Mondial roses are applied 3 times per season: in April, nitrogen compositions. During bud formation, and then for re-flowering (August) - superphosphate and potassium salt. The break between dressings is at least two weeks.
  4. Shelter for the winter - after the temperature has dropped to 0 ° C. The above-ground part is completely cut off, leaving shoots at least 15–20 cm high. The Mondial rose bush is sprinkled, mulched with peat or sprinkled with foliage, earth, and laid on top with spruce branches. The total height of the protective layer is at least 20 cm.
  5. Pruning at least 2 times a year: in spring - all branches, leaving shoots no more than 15 cm (2-3 buds high). In the fall, remove all faded peduncles and shoots that have not produced inflorescences.

For lovers of delicate white flowers, Mondial rose is the most suitable option. He loves the sun very much, it grows in my center. The flowers are beautiful, they don't smell much, but they adorn the garden all summer long. The last buds open at the beginning of September, so we often give them to teachers.
