I. Basic information about the wedding road
Rose "Wedding Road"
This rose is originally named "Wedding Bells" and is commonly called "Wedding Road" in China. It is also often referred to as "Yves," but it has little to do with the Yves series of roses. This is a "trend-chasing" behavior. Of course, although it is not part of the Yves series, it is still outstanding. It is an excellent representative of white roses and is very popular among rose lovers at home and abroad. If you like white roses, you should raise this one.
Small plant, suitable for potting
Wedding Road is a medium and small shrub rose, not very tall, usually growing to 1.2-1.5 meters when planted in the ground. The plant is very upright, with straight and sturdy branches, not drooping at all, and good branching. The plant is compact and round, suitable for planting in courtyards, gardens, flower beds, and roadsides, with a good ornamental effect. It also adapts well to potting, with a pot diameter of 20 centimeters being enough to achieve an effect. There are not many thorns on the plant, with more at the bottom of the root area and almost no thorns on new branches.
Standard bloom
Wedding Road was originally used as a cut rose (the kind that is specifically grown to be cut and sold as roses). The flowers are very beautiful, about 10 cm in diameter, not too big or too small, with a very round shape like a ball. The entire flower is white with a hint of cream yellow, pure white without a trace of impurity, ice-cold and not vulgar, following a delicate and fresh style. The fragrance is also strong, with a strong medicine scent. Cutting a few flowers to decorate the bedroom will fill the whole room with that scent.
Blooms in multiple seasons
The blooming of Wedding Road is also good. After all, it is for cut flowers, and continuous blooming can create more profits. The natural blooming period is from spring to autumn, during which it will bloom repeatedly. The flowers in spring and autumn are of the best quality. In summer, affected by high temperatures, the flower shape will become smaller, and a few flowers can still bloom sporadically in winter in the south, while in the north, they can continue to bloom after being brought indoors. The flower yield is not high, with single flowers, one flower per branch, straight and not drooping, lasting about a week in spring and autumn, 3-4 days in summer, and more than a week in winter.
II. The growth habits of the wedding road
A sturdy variety
Firstly, it grows relatively fast, rarely stiff, and grows quickly as long as there is sufficient sunlight; secondly, it is heat and sun-resistant, even in the hot summer, the flowers still bloom well; thirdly, its disease resistance is fairly good, even if infested with pests like red spiders or thrips, it can quickly recover when placed in the sun. Disadvantages: 1. Not rain-resistant, as the number of petals is high, they may rot after being rained on before they even open; 2. The scent is medicinal, not rose-scented (this is not really a disadvantage).
III. Planting suggestions for the wedding road
Maintenance is not difficult
If you have a yard and can plant it outdoors, find a sunny and high place that does not accumulate water to plant. After initial care, you can neglect it and it will be fine. If you are planting in a pot or placing it on a balcony, you need to pay more attention. Here are some suggestions:
Pot: Preferably plastic pots, avoid using ceramic pots (poor breathability, not conducive to root growth, heavy, and inconvenient to repot in the future). The size of the pot should be determined by the seedling condition, using a small pot for small seedlings and changing to a larger pot as they grow, avoiding using a large pot for small seedlings directly.
Soil: Use garden soil that is loose, rich in humus, and has good drainage, such as peat soil, decomposed leaf soil, etc. Adding珍珠岩 (perlite) or 蛭石 (vermiculite) can increase breathability (it is not suitable to use soil that easily compacts and has poor breathability for growing roses).
Suitable environment: Full sun or semi-shade with scattered light, terrace > south balcony > north balcony.
Watering: Follow the "wet and dry" principle.
Fertilization: Common flowering plant fertilizers, such as Huaduo, Aolü, or monoammonium phosphate, can all be used, but be careful with the dosage, using thin fertilizer as thick fertilizer can easily damage the roots.
Pruning: Top during the growing period, lightly prune after flowering, and heavily prune at the end of winter.
Summer and winter care: Heat and sun-resistant, can withstand summer exposure as long as you don't mind the flowers fading quickly; cold resistance is also good, with mature plants able to withstand temperatures as low as -10 degrees Celsius.
Other: If there is any sign of disease or pests, move it to the sun immediately and treat with medication.
