Rose Adelaide Hoodless

Roses, which belong to the Canadian variety Adelaide Hoodless, bloom for a long time and grow quickly. Landscape designers often use the plant in their designs.

The rose variety Adelaide Hoodless was named after the founder of the Canadian Women's Institute Elliot and was artificially bred in 1972 as a park plant so that it could survive the cold winter, since the park does not cover shrubs for the winter. This variety is an interspecific hybrid. In 1998, in the Botanical Gardens in Montreal, a study was conducted on the resistance of the rose plant to black spot, powdery mildew and rust. This is one of the same varieties, the infection rate of which is 0-5%. The experiment was carried out on well-proven roses.

Rose Adelaide Hoodless (Adelaide Hoodless cultivar) is a beautiful flowering shrub with small flowers and a light scent of the Rosaceae family. Most often, the flowers are light red in color with glossy leaves. Leaves are usually green, dark green in color, shiny and ovoid, with finely toothed edges. The flowers are approximately 6-8 centimeters in diameter and have 10-20 petals. The flowers are often very fragrant. Most species grow on long stems. It is a compact and very hardy plant. The height can be either 140 centimeters or reach 175 centimeters, the shrub will be about 150 centimeters wide.

The main advantage of this species is its resistance to low temperatures - it does not need to be covered for the winter. These roses only freeze at temperatures down to -40 ° C.

Rose care is minimal, although this plant may be susceptible to some diseases and pest attacks, but if the basic rules are followed, even a beginner can grow a flower.

The rose will bloom from late spring to late autumn. And also its flowers may differ slightly in shades at different periods of flowering.

Rose Adelaide Hoodless is a multi-stemmed, deciduous shrub with a vertically spreading growth pattern. Its medium texture blends in with the landscape, but can be balanced with one or two smaller or coarser trees or bushes to create an effective composition.

It is a low maintenance shrub and is best pruned at the end of winter when the threat of extreme cold is gone. It has no significant negative characteristics.

Rose Adelaide Hoodless is used to create landscape compositions, for example:

• mass planting;

• hedging / screening;

• general use of the garden.

It is worth planting roses where they will receive sunlight for at least 6 hours a day, as well as a sufficient amount of moisture and nutrients. It is necessary to provide a sufficient distance between them (from 90 centimeters), since good air circulation will prevent foliage diseases. Before planting, the bare-rooted plants should be soaked in water for several hours to make sure they are well hydrated. The site must be well drained and the hole must be large enough to fill with water before planting.After the pit is already covered with soil, the planting site must be watered.

For the best growth of roses, you can follow some growing and maintenance conditions.

Every year, you need to improve the soil around the rose.

The shrubs should not be allowed to dry out - it is worth moistening abundantly several times a week to better maintain moisture in the soils.

It is worth regularly pruning the rose bush with a pruner to remove any dead or dying stems.

Already rooted plants should be fed with suitable fertilizers. This shrub should only be grown in bright sunlight. It grows best in moderate to uniform moisture conditions, but does not tolerate standing water. It doesn't depend on soil type or pH. The variety is tolerant of urban pollution.

Thanks to research, it has been proven that the plant is sufficiently resistant to diseases and various pests, but in order to completely protect the shrubs, you should pay attention to the following pests and precautions for this type of roses.

Thrips are very small insects with wings, and most of the damage on plants remains from young larvae, which feed on the thin tissues of foliage and flowers, due to which the plant's growth is disturbed, and injured petals appear, which contributes to the premature fall of the flower. Thrips can also transmit many harmful plant viruses.

How to avoid: remove weeds, and if the plant is at home, put screens on the windows to prevent them from entering. And also you need to throw out the infected plants.

A spider mite is an insect that feeds on special "punctures" in the mouth, which causes the plant to turn yellow and become dotted. Leaf fall and plant death can occur with severe infestation.

How to avoid: Remove weeds and infested plants, water the plants regularly.

Aphids are a small and rather slow insect with a soft body that sucks out almost all the liquid from plants. They can transmit harmful viruses and diseases from other plants.

How to avoid: Remove weeds and make sure they do not appear. Natural enemies, such as bed bugs, will feed on aphids in the garden, helping the shrubs. You can also use special insect control products.

Caterpillars are still an immature form of moths and butterflies. Their danger is reflected in the fact that they are very voracious and eat almost any plant, so roses can also be in danger.

How to avoid: Get rid of weeds, remove caterpillars if they are on bushes. Again, natural enemies feeding on caterpillars can also help get rid of them.
