The need to comply with climatic conditions
Even from geography lessons it is known that in Russia there are several climatic zones. They differ not only in temperature ranges, but also in humidity, daylight hours, soil types and many other factors. All these parameters must be taken into account when choosing a variety and type of rose.
For several decades, botanists, breeders have worked and continue to work on breeding a variety of roses for the climatic zones of Russia. It is very important to pay attention to the required conditions for a particular species and variety.If you plant, for example, a rose that was bred for central Russia, in Siberia, the plant will not survive. Rose can not stand the cold, long winter, lack of sun. In addition, in this way it is possible to transfer diseases to which there is immunity in plants of another climatic zone. And this can lead to infection of other crops and flora.
Features of cultivation in various climatic zones
In the Urals
The climate of the Urals is quite severe and a few years ago growing roses in the open ground under these conditions was impossible. But, thanks to the development of selection, to grow these beautiful plants is quite realistic.
The main factors in the Ural climate are the temperature range and the long winter period. In addition, there is not much sunlight in this strip. And, since this is a mountainous area, the presence of quite strong gusts of wind must be taken into account.
Therefore, in addition to the most important thing - choosing the right variety and type of rose, there are several more features for growing and care. For example, the proper preparation of the plant for wintering. If this is not done, then the plant is unlikely to please you with shoots in the spring and beautiful flowers in the summer. Important is the time of planting, location, soil features.
In Siberia
In Siberia, climatic conditions are similar to the Urals. It can be described as harsh winters, late spring and short summers. In addition, the climate is characterized by strong cold winds and high rainfall. The conditions are harsh, so only strong and persistent plants take root here.
In the middle zone of Russia
The climate of central Russia is milder compared to the conditions of Siberia and the Urals. It has long summers, warmer winters and more sun. Of course, this climate is more suitable for growing roses.
Do not forget that for the winter period the plant also needs protection and proper preparation. In addition, in a warmer climate, more pathogenic bacteria develop, hence the frequent diseases of not only roses, but also other plants.Suitable for growing varieties of flowers with photos
