The rose is a re-flowering rose, but in fact it shows continuous flowering with an imperceptible pause between waves. 1 stem can have from 1 to 3 flowers.

The rose looks great in groups of 3-5. They also grow a rose in flower beds, in rabatkas, decorate with its help borders at passages, place them along paths, near gazebos or arches. It is best to plant it where the excellent aroma will be appreciated. The bush is neat, so the plant is suitable for growing in containers.

For planting, choose a sunny place, always protected from drafts. The wind greatly increases the sensitivity of plants to winter and spring low temperatures. It is forbidden to plant roses in low places where water stagnates and dampness is possible. Even the most disease-resistant varieties start to get sick from the excess of cold water. Particularly carefully choose a site in the northern regions. The sunny leeward side of the house with loose, sandy and well-warmed soil is best suited.

Agnes Schillinger, like most roses, is care dependent. You need a careful choice of location, watering, feeding and shelter for the winter. It is important to consider: the chiffon flowers of the variety are not highly resistant to rain. And it is better to water the bushes so that moisture does not get on the flowers.

In spring and summer, roses are watered abundantly with warm water.For scrubs, an average volume of water is required - about 8-10 liters per 1 bush. By autumn, watering is reduced, however, avoiding drying out. If it rains in August-September, watering is stopped altogether.

Like any roses, the variety loves feeding. The feeding scheme is built individually. An approximate diagram looks like this.

1. In the spring, they are fed with nitrogenous fertilizers. It is important to avoid overfeeding.
2. During the growing season, frequent watering with a weakly diluted mullein or other suitable organic matter is optimal.
3. The last feeding with organic matter or humus is given in early August. Later feeding can provoke the growth of new shoots.
4. 2 weeks after organics, they are fed with phosphorus-potassium fertilizer.
5. After another 1 week - potassium sulfate.
6. At the beginning of September, kalimagnesia is given, it completes the course of dressings.

That is, the maximum winter temperature for the variety is from -18 ° C to -23 ° C. The middle zone of the Russian Federation belongs to zone 5, the Moscow region - to zone 4.

It should be borne in mind that the USDA classification is imperfect and does not take into account a number of climate characteristics. Usually roses recommended for zone 6 grow well in the middle zone. But shelter for the winter, especially if the region is characterized by little snowy winters with frosts below -15 ° C, is a must. Young rose bushes of Agnes Schillinger are best covered by constructing "houses" from supports and lutrasil; in the future, you can get by with a thick layer of mulch (15-20 cm).
