Recently, on the plots of domestic summer residents, one can increasingly find the rose variety Frederic Mistral. This variety of roses is distinguished by bright, beautiful flowers with a delicate aroma and original color.

Rose Frederic Mistral is a young hybrid tea variety. This variety is a tall shrub with powerful, well-developed branches and large double flowers of an interesting pale pink hue. Experts say that this variety can rightly be considered one of the best in the world, because this rose, unlike many other varieties, has a powerful natural immunity to pests, viral and fungal diseases.

The history of the creation of the variety

The official name for this variety is “rose Frederic mistral”. The plant was bred in the UK in 1995 and soon gained popularity in many countries of Western and Eastern Europe, including Russia. English breeders initially set themselves the task of combining the disease resistance characteristic of English hybrid tea roses with the delicate and original color of modern European tea varieties. Officially, the plant belongs to the large group of English hybrid species "Romantica".

Characteristics and features of the variety

Frost resistance

Rose Frederick was originally designed for a mild climate, but Russian breeders zoned this variety for the middle zone and more northern regions of Russia. The plant tolerates light frosts well, but does not like severe frosts and sudden changes in temperature. For the winter, this variety needs to be covered; burlap or spruce branches are perfect for shelter. Also, this hybrid species is very sensitive to high soil and air moisture. If the summer is rainy, the duration and intensity of flowering can be significantly reduced. In order to overcome the consequences of an unsuccessful wintering, in early spring the plant affected by frost is cut short.

Bloom

The time and duration of flowering depends on the climate. In the climatic conditions of the Russian central strip, the rose blooms in the second decade of July and continues to bloom somewhere until mid-August. However, if the beginning of autumn turned out to be warm, this period can last until the second decade of September. If the end of summer and the beginning of autumn are rainy and windy, the flowers may deform and become covered with small brown spots of "rust".
