- high decorative bush and elasticity of flower buds;
- the ability to long flowering from early summer to late autumn;
- weather resistance.
In order to grow worthy hybrid tea varieties on your site, you need to know the features of agricultural technology for growing roses.
Choosing a place on the site for a rose
If you decide to grow hybrid tea roses on your site, then choose a well-lit place. An excellent choice would be the southeast side of the site with a low groundwater level.
In this case, you can prevent many diseases.
Light loamy soil is suitable for hybrid tea roses, but any other soil can be prepared for planting. Compost, sand and ash are added to the heavy one, and clay and humus are added to the light one.
Before planting a tea-hybrid beauty, at least 10 kg of humus per 1 sq. meter of area (for poor soil) and dig to a depth of 50 cm.
A pit on such soil is prepared shortly before planting a tea-hybrid garden rose, a fertile layer is poured into it to a third of the depth.
On acidic, heavy clay and light sandy soil, it is required to dig planting holes a month before planting the bushes. The size of the pit is made 60×50 cm, it is filled with a third of the nutrient composition. For the mixture, take turfy soil, humus, sand (or clay – for sandy). The ratio of components is 5:4:1. Mineral fertilizers are added to the mixture:
- superphosphate granulated 250 g;
- wood ash 200 g;
- lime 300 g.
What else to consider when choosing a location for a garden queen?
Illumination. Especially in the morning. Under such conditions, the dew from the leaves of the bush quickly evaporates, so the risk of infection with rust and powdery mildew is significantly reduced. If you decide to plant a hybrid tea rose in the shade, then:
- its leaves will become pale, their number will decrease;
- the doubleness of flowers will decrease;
- flowering will begin later;
- fungal diseases develop.
Temperature and air circulation. Protection from strong winds is a must for hybrid tea garden roses, and good air circulation will prevent the spread of disease.
Depthon which groundwater is located. If they come closer than 1,5 m, then they make drainage. Also come in areas with excess moisture.

Therefore, not only soil preparation, but proper planting with proper care will also be required. In this case, the gardener on the site will have lushly blooming rose gardens with exquisite flowers. A hybrid tea rose, planted and cared for in accordance with all the rules, develops normally and decorates the site throughout the season.
Planting hybrid tea beauty
We have prepared the soil, now we need to wait until it warms up and start the planting process. Garden hybrid tea aristocrat does not like cold ground. When is the best time to plant plants?
Seedlings can be purchased in March and stored until planting time. To do this, they are placed in wet sand and placed in the basement. Some gardeners leave the seedlings in the room, placing them in a container with earth on the windowsill.
As soon as it’s time to plant the rose in the ground, cut off the roots. Examine the cut – it should be white inside, this is healthy tissue. Then place the seedling for half an hour in plain water. Planting hybrid tea roses in spring is as follows:
- Pour the earth with water, 5 liters with one tablet of “Heteroauxin” is enough.
- Place the roots in the planting hole, deepening the grafting site by a few centimeters.
- Bury the roots, periodically shaking the rose, and tamp the soil around the seedling.
- Water the bush.
Only planted hybrid tea bushes should not be allowed to bloom.
As soon as the height of the plant reaches 50 cm, the buds are left for flowering.
Pruning a hybrid tea garden rose
Another important point of agrotechnical measures is the pruning of hybrid tea roses. The main and main for the bushes is spring pruning. It’s important to get it done on time. Optimally – before bud break on roses, but already when the threat of return frosts has passed. Cut early – buds that have started to grow will freeze at the time of frost. be late – a tea-hybrid garden rose by this time will spend a lot of energy on feeding the shoots, which you will cut off anyway.
How to prune roses in spring
First, prepare a pruning tool – a pruner, a garden file, a garden knife. Additionally you will need:
- a solution of potassium permanganate (orientated to a dark pink color) or copper sulfate (100 grams per bucket of water);
- garden pitch, which can be replaced with Novikov’s liquid.
Before you start pruning a hybrid tea garden rose, be clear about the goal you are pursuing. Pruning can provide:
- a certain shape of the bush;
- prolongation of its life span;
- high-quality appearance of flowers on cut plants;
- profuse and early flowering.
By removing old branches, you stimulate the hybrid tea rose to grow new shoots for flowering. Before you figure out how to trim a bush competently and beautifully, you should dwell on certain rules:
- The tool must be well sharpened. Otherwise, the cut will crumble, and the bark and wood will dry out and become a source of possible infection.
- Precisely observe the place and shape of the cut on the shoot of a tea-hybrid rose. It is done obliquely, at a distance of no more than 5 mm above the kidney, in order to prevent moisture from entering it. A stump over 5 mm after dying will become a breeding ground for infection. A lower cut is dangerous due to the possibility of damage to the kidney.
- Trim the stems of the tea-hybrid beauty to a healthy tissue. It has a white core.
- Pruning is done on the outer bud so that the growth of the shoot is not directed inside the bush. This makes it possible to maintain good illumination of the bush.
- Cut off all damaged, dry and dead parts of the bush.
- Each section is treated with Novikov’s liquid or garden pitch.
- As soon as pruning is done, spray hybrid tea roses with a solution of copper sulfate (1%) for prevention.
When the growing shoots reach an average length of about 20 cm, pinch the tops on them. This technique is done in the phase of unpainted buds. Pinching hybrid tea roses in spring improves flower quality and lengthens the flowering period.
After carrying out important spring procedures, it is necessary to competently take care of the growing bush of the tea-hybrid beauty.
Care of the garden queen during the season
The responsiveness of roses to watering and fertilizing is amazing. This is due to their biological characteristics. Indeed, in a plant there is a complex interchange between parts. Some supply nutrients, others carry out synthesis. During certain periods of the growing season, hybrid tea roses require different nutrients.
Feeding
Spring top dressing stimulates the growth of roots and shoots, so it is important to apply nitrogen.
Summer needed to restore shoots after cutting flowers and give rise to new ones. Requires a complete mineral complex fertilizer in combination with organic matter.
Autumn – serves to accumulate plastic substances and prepare for wintering. Now potassium is added with phosphorus.
Hybrid tea roses in the first year can not be fed. But this is only if you fertilized when planting. It will be enough after pinching to shed them with infusion of mullein or chicken manure. The first component is diluted in a ratio of 1:10, the second 1:20. The infusion is applied in liquid form very carefully. Try not to get on the leaves and shoots, and after applying the solution, water the roses. It is better to make grooves around the perimeter, spill it with water, then fertilizer and cover it with earth.
Watering, how to save plants in winter, pruning – these activities do not differ in the care of hybrid tea roses and other varieties of rose bushes.
