Introduction to Gabriel·Archangel
This flower is named "Gabriel·Archangel," also known as the Archangel, bred by the well-known female breeder Junko Kawamoto and was introduced to the market in 2008. It has won many rose exhibition awards and is highly sought after.
When it was first introduced to China, it was considered a rare and expensive item. However, with the vigorous expansion by domestic flower merchants, its price has dropped, making it an affordable common item, and it is now one of the most cultivated varieties in China.
① Attractive Tree Posture
The Archangel is a medium-sized shrub rose. When planted in the ground, the plant can grow to over one meter, and in a pot, its height can be controlled between 30 to 60 centimeters. It has a good upright shape and branching ability.
Its overall posture is upright and attractive, with very few thorns, almost none, so there's no need to worry about getting pricked. It is very suitable for home planting and can be used to decorate gardens, flower beds, or for balcony potted plants. The flowers can also be used as cut flowers.
② Beautiful and Ethereal Blossoms
The first impression of the Archangel is its special "ethereal" quality—the flowers are of medium size, 6 to 8 cm in diameter, fully double-petaled, with a cup-shaped bloom, and the petals are evenly arranged with a layered look.
The outer layer is a pure white, while the center is a mysterious and elegant purple. The whole flower looks like it has a natural ethereal quality, as if a fairy descended from heaven, beautiful and captivating, with a very high ornamental value.
③ Fragrance Filling the Air
The second impression of the Archangel is its strong fragrance. When you see the flowers from a distance, the scent is noticeable.
The closer you get to the flowers, the stronger the fragrance becomes. This is the scent of the Archangel, which is strong but not heavy, fresh and fragrant. People standing several meters away can smell it, and it has won many fragrant rose awards. In the field of fragrance, it ranks in the top three among rose varieties. When grown on a balcony, just one blooming flower can fill the room with fragrance.
④ Vigorous Blooming
If you have never had a plant with a long blooming period, you might be impressed by the Archangel's blooming ability. This variety inherits the excellent blooming nature of roses, as if it was born to bloom.
In a suitable environment, as long as the maintenance is decent, blooming throughout the year is no problem, and it reblooms very quickly, with an average of 28 days to bloom once.
This month's flowers may have just finished blooming, and the next month you can enjoy the flowers again. It also flowers abundantly, with flower buds on both new and old branches, ensuring flowers on every branch and often filling a whole tree.
⑤ Continuous Blooming in Summer
Many plants enter dormancy in summer, so there are not many flowering plants to enjoy during this season. Some roses may bloom in summer, but the quality is usually not good, and some may even wither after only one or two days.
The Archangel, however, performs well in summer, normally blooming with standard flowers, although the color may be slightly lighter, with the purple part not as deep as in spring and autumn.
⑥ Explosive Blooms in Small Pots
Of course, to achieve this state, a suitable environment and some skill in cultivation are necessary.
Firstly, it requires sufficient sunlight, cannot be kept in a shaded place, and should get at least four hours of sun exposure a day. It's best to keep it outdoors, and for balcony cultivation, the south-facing balcony is the best.
Secondly, fertilization is essential. To get more blooms, you need to invest. Regularly apply flower-boosting fertilizers, watered down and applied frequently.
Thirdly, pruning is necessary. After the flowers have finished blooming, remove the残花 immediately, and after each wave of flowers, do a light pruning to encourage more new branches, which will quickly bloom after maturing.
⑦ Can Be Grown on Balconies
The Gabriel Archangel has good disease resistance and strong adaptability to the environment. In a well-lit and well-ventilated area, it rarely gets sick and is rarely affected by pests. Even if infected by thrips or red spiders, it can recover quickly with exposure to the sun or medication. The maintenance difficulty is not high, and even新手 flower enthusiasts can take good care of it by understanding its habits.
