Introduction to the Advantages and Disadvantages of Elizabethtown Rugosa Rose
Introduction to Elizabethtown Rugosa Rose
Its name is "Elizabethtown," officially launched by the well-known French breeding company Meilland International in 2010.
Its flowers are similar to another striped rugosa rose called "Monet," but they are bigger than Monet.
It is known for its large number of flowers, fast growth, good adaptability, and disease resistance, with its unique flower shape, lovely color, and delicate and beautiful flowers!
Because of its good performance, it is very suitable for recommendation to beginners.
Features of Elizabethtown Rugosa Rose:
① Growth Performance:
Elizabethtown is a medium-sized climbing rugosa rose variety. The plant is strong, grows fast, and the plant height is about 2-3 meters, with side pull can be controlled at about 1.5-2 meters.
The branches are especially prone to branching, with dense leaves and thick branches continuously growing new branches. The branches are relatively hard, have general藤性, and the leaves are thick and leathery, with almost no thorns.
Although it is a climbing rugosa rose, it can also be cultivated as a shrub, and the effect is also very good. It is suitable for terrace potting, courtyard ground planting, and can be used to decorate fences, small flower walls, arches, and flower pillars.
If planted outdoors on the terrace, the bigger the pot, the better, or use a large flower box.
② Flower Performance:
Elizabethtown flowers are relatively large, with a diameter of 10 centimeters, and the initial flowers are deep cup-shaped.
The buds are very thick, the main color of the flowers is deep pink, with pink and white stripes on the petals, bright and eye-catching.
The color of the flowers can be affected by temperature, causing the color of the flowers to fade. The number of petals is over 100, very double-layered, and the edges of the petals will curl outward as they open, like layers of skirts hugging each other.
The flowers are very luxurious and delicate. Especially in the sunlight, the shiny flower color is very bright and dazzling.
③ Flower Amount:
Elizabethtown has a large number of flowers, with 6-7 flower buds per branch.
In full bloom, the flowers will bloom densely, with flower buds on each branch, and it is easy for a branch tip to bloom into a bunch of flowers.
Especially for larger Elizabethtown plants, especially spring and autumn flowers, as long as there is sufficient nutrition (G-Y) and good lighting, they can bloom to cover a wall, forming a "flower waterfall." Really only seeing flowers and not leaves, the sight of the blooming flowers is refreshing and pleasant. Summer flowers will bloom a little less.
④ Flowering Period
The single flower period of Elizabethtown is 7-8 days, and the flowering period will be shorter in high summer temperatures.
The annual flowering period starts in April and can last for about 3 months at its peak, with fewer flowers in the high-temperature months of June to September.
But by October and November, it will be another large flowering period. And the interval between each flowering is less than a month. Whether single or mass flowers, Elizabethtown has first-class ornamental value.
⑤ Flower Fragrance:
Elizabethtown flowers have a strong fragrance of roses, emitting the scent of apple blossoms, but they have good volatility.
Even from a distance, the fragrance in the air can be smelled, the fragrance is strong and pleasant, a very pleasant smell that can make one's mood more cheerful. Cutting a bunch of flowers and putting them in a vase can decorate the room and make the whole room smell fragrant.
⑥ Disease Resistance:
Elizabethtown has good disease resistance because its leaves are thick and glossy, protected by a waxy layer.
Except for black spots during the rainy season, it basically does not have diseases and pests. Even if a small amount of infection occurs, it can be treated in time with medication. This is also one of the main reasons why many people choose to plant Elizabethtown, and it is also one of the main reasons I recommend for beginners to plant.
⑦ Adaptability:
Elizabethtown has strong adaptability to the environment, grows fast, and the plant is tall and strong. It can adapt to most regions of our country, both south and north, and it can grow well and bloom continuously. It also has strong shade tolerance, making it a very good courtyard climbing rugosa rose.
⑧ Heat Resistance:
Elizabethtown is relatively heat-resistant among climbing rugosa rose varieties, and it still blooms well in summer, easily surviving the summer. Rugosa rose lovers in Guangdong and Guangxi can choose to plant it, which can be considered a blessing!
Cultivation Points of Elizabethtown Rugosa Rose:
1. Light:
Elizabethtown loves light, and sufficient sunlight can make the plant grow strong, requiring at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. Otherwise, it will only grow leaves and not flowers, or even if flower buds form, the flowers will not be colorful or fragrant after blooming.
2. Watering:
Elizabethtown, like other rugosa roses, should be watered when the soil is dry and then wet, without the need for excessive watering. In high summer temperatures, it can be watered once a day.
At other times, water can be added when the surface of the potting soil turns white. Ground planting is a bit more worry-free. If the terrain is low and it rains continuously for several days, it is necessary to drain the water in time. When watering, do not splash water on the leaves to prevent diseases.
3. Fertilization:
Elizabethtown requires a lot of nutrients because it produces a large number of flowers.
In winter, well-fermented organic fertilizer should be buried around the roots. In spring, when the buds sprout and the branches grow, a balanced compound fertilizer can be applied.
Before the buds show color, apply a high-phosphorus and potassium water-soluble fertilizer for good results.
4. Pruning:
Because Elizabethtown grows strongly, it is necessary to cut off the poor, vertical, and dense branches, and to cut off the残花 after flowering to reduce the spread of diseases and pests.
In winter, pruning can be done according to the plant shape. Also, for those thick shoots that have grown to a certain height, they should be pulled in time, otherwise it will be difficult to do so after they become lignified.
5. Disease Prevention:
Elizabethtown has relatively strong disease resistance, but when growing rugosa roses, it is best to do some prevention in spring, summer, and autumn, applying medication once a month. When pest infestations occur, it is necessary to apply medication for control in time.
