Rose Jasmine – re-blooming variety
History of selection
The park rose Jasmine was bred in one of the oldest nurseries in Europe - “W. Kordes Sohne.” The company was founded by former sailor Wilhelm Cordes in 1887, when he began growing roses and then selling them. Over time, the idea of breeding our own varieties arose.
Rose Cordes Jasmine was developed in 2005 in Germany. This hybrid variety was obtained by crossing a seedling with the scrub Centenaire de Lourdes.This species is one of the representatives of a whole group of garden roses under the general name Kordesii. He, like other varieties from this series, passed severe tests and confirmed his characteristics, for which he was awarded the ADR mark. It means that the rose is distinguished by high decorative qualities, lush flowering and high resistance to adverse conditions.
Description of Jasmine climbing rose and characteristics
Rose Jasmine is a perennial, well-branched, spreading shrub. Its height reaches from 1.5 to 3.0 m, depending on the growing region. The diameter of an adult plant is 1.0-1.2 m.
This variety is a climber. This means that Jasmine rose shoots have the ability to climb to a certain height, but remain stiff and not particularly flexible. Because of this, the shrub can easily withstand the load during the flowering period.
Young branches have a bright green color with a reddish tint on the sunny side. But as they grow older, the bark noticeably becomes dull and acquires a brownish tint. The shoots have frequent, medium-sized thorns in the form of a slightly curved hook. The branches of the Jasmine rose are heavily leafy. Standard shaped plates. They have a dark green, rich color with a shiny surface, which confirms their increased resistance to fungal diseases.
Important! A Jasmine rose seedling grows to the size of an adult bush in the second year after planting.
This crop variety has 2 waves of flowering per season. For the first time, the Jasmine rose forms numerous buds at the end of May. Initially, the flowers have a rich lavender-pink hue, but when fully opened, the outer petals become lighter and only the center retains a bright color.The first flowering of the Jasmine rose is abundant and lasts up to 1.5 months, depending on weather conditions.
The buds are formed at the tops of the shoots and are collected in inflorescences of 8-14 pieces in one. For the second time this season, the Jasmine rose blooms closer to autumn, namely at the end of August. But there are already significantly fewer flowers during this period. Buds are formed only on young shoots of the current year. But this does not reduce the decorative quality of the variety, since individual flower clusters in combination with glossy dark green foliage look very impressive. Repeatedly this period lasts about 2-3 weeks. The flowers of the Jasmine rose variety are double, consisting of 50-60 petals, cup-shaped. As they bloom, they flatten and the center with the stamens is exposed.
The flowers of the Jasmine rose are quite large, their diameter reaches 6-8 cm
This variety has a rich, pleasant aroma that combines notes of lime, apple, vanilla and honey. For this, the Jasmine rose was awarded a prize in 2007 in the Knight competition (France). The smell of flowers intensifies at noon and in the evening.
Frost resistance of the large-flowered climbing rose Jasmina
This crop variety is resistant to low temperatures. He is not afraid of frosts down to -23 degrees. But since the shrub blooms on last year’s and current year’s shoots, it is necessary to cover the bushes for the winter so that they do not freeze.
The root system of the Jasmine rose is predominantly located in the upper layers of the soil and extends almost horizontally from the neck. To prevent it from being damaged in a cold, snowless winter, it is also recommended to cover the soil at the base of the rose with mulch.
Advantages and disadvantages of the variety
The park rose Jasmine (Jasmina) has a number of advantages that sets it apart from others. But this variety also has disadvantages that need to be taken into account. To get a complete picture, you need to study all the features.
During hot periods, Jasmine rose flowers quickly bloom and fall off
Main advantages:
- abundant, long-lasting flowering;
- tall, spreading bushes;
- pleasant rich aroma;
- ease of care;
- high frost resistance;
- increased immunity to fungal diseases.
Flaws:
- in rainy weather, flowers lose their decorative effect;
- does not tolerate stagnation of moisture in the soil;
- requires sufficient free space.
Reproduction methods
To obtain young Jasmine rose seedlings, the cutting method is used. It allows you to preserve all the varietal characteristics of the mother bush. To do this, after the first flowering, it is necessary to cut the young woody shoot into pieces with 2-3 internodes. Then completely remove the lower leaves, leaving only the upper ones to preserve sap flow in the tissues.
The lower cut of the cutting should be made at an angle of 45 degrees, then powdered with any root-forming agent and planted in moist soil. To create favorable conditions, the cuttings need to be covered with transparent caps.
Growing and care
This variety shows high decorative value when planted in sunny or partial shade. It is important that the site is protected from drafts, and the groundwater level is at least 1.0 m. Rose Jasmine prefers fertile soil with a low level of acidity. But it is also permissible to plant it in clay and sandy soil if you first add peat and humus.
Jasmine rose belongs to the category of varieties that do not tolerate prolonged drought. Therefore, in the absence of rain, it should be regularly watered 1-2 times a week, soaking the soil up to 20 cm. To do this, use settled water at a temperature of +18-+20 degrees.
You need to water in the evening so that the rose can regain its strength overnight.
The bush should be fed three times a season. The first time this should be done is in the spring during the active growing season. To do this, you can use urea 30 g per bucket or chicken manure in a ratio of 1:15. The second and third times should be fertilized during the formation of buds and flowering. During this period, you need to use superphosphate 40 g and potassium sulfate 20 g per 10 liters of water.
Throughout the season, you need to constantly loosen the soil at the base of the bush and remove weeds in a timely manner. This will preserve nutrients and improve air access to the rose roots. During a period of prolonged drought, in order to prevent excessive evaporation of moisture from the soil, it is necessary to lay pine bark mulch 3 cm thick in the root circle. You cannot use fallen leaves and humus, as this can lead to fungal diseases affecting the Jasmine rose.
This variety does not require formative pruning. Therefore, every spring you only need to remove frozen shoots, as well as broken and damaged ones. In addition, it is necessary to shorten all branches to 5 buds before they have time to bloom.
When the first autumn frosts occur, the Jasmine rose should be removed from its support and the shoots should be bent to the ground. After this, it is necessary to add soil at the base of the bush and compact it, and lay a layer of straw on top.At the end, completely cover the rose with agrofibre, secure it so that it does not blow away in the wind.
Pests and diseases
Rose Jasmine, like all park species, is distinguished by high natural immunity. But if the growing conditions are inappropriate, its stability decreases.
Possible difficulties:
- Aphid. This small pest feeds on the sap of rose leaves and shoots, which significantly weakens the bush. It is not difficult to detect aphids, as they form numerous colonies that can be seen on the back of the plates and on the apical processes. For destruction, “Confidor Extra” should be used.
- Black spotb. This disease develops during cool, rainy weather. Initially, dark dots appear on the leaves, and then they increase in size. As a result, premature leaf fall occurs. For prevention and treatment, Bordeaux mixture should be used.
- Powdery mildew. This disease progresses in hot weather with high humidity. It can be identified by a white coating on the leaves, which subsequently acquires a dirty gray tint. Ultimately, this leads to wilting of the plates. For treatment it is necessary to use "Skor".
Application in landscape design
This variety is ideal for vertical gardening. Jasmine roses can be used in the garden both in single and group compositions, as well as for decorating gazebos, arches and the main entrance to the house. Its beauty can be successfully emphasized by conifers and decorative deciduous shrubs. This rose can also be used to create complex multi-level flower beds, placing low-growing types of crops in the center and on the sides.The main thing is to take into account the compatibility of shades.
The Jasmine variety rose is also suitable for creating “living” flowering hedges, since in many regions of the country it can be grown without shelter for the winter.
When planted in the shade, the decorative quality of the variety decreases
Conclusion
Rose Jasmine is a spectacular variety that can delight you with its lush blooms every year with minimal care. At the same time, the shrub can grow in one place for decades, maintaining its decorative appearance. But when growing in regions with a harsh climate, it is necessary to completely cover the branches of the bush so that they do not freeze.
