Gardeners plant roses not only to decorate their summer cottages, these plants are also used to obtain valuable essential oil. And the petals of their flowers are used to create a drink that looks like tea.

The history of the creation of the variety

Rose Mary Ann was created in 2010 by breeders of the Rosen Tantau company. They tried to combine the traditional flower shape and good frost resistance. At first, Mary Ann spread throughout Europe, but only in 2017 did the hybrid reach Russia.

Rose Mary Ann

The description of the characteristics is as follows:

  • In height, the size of the bush reaches 0.7-1 m, and in width it grows to 0.6 m. The stem is so strong that it does not bend under the weight of large brushes.
  • Rose Marie Ann has flowers with a diameter of 8 to 10 cm. Each of them consists of 70-80 petals, which, when the bud is fully opened, bend outward, forming a kind of rosette.
  • From 5 to 7 roses are collected in the brush. They give off a sweet, fruity smell. Some people compare it to citrus.
  • Mary Ann leaves have a glossy finish. They are dark green in color.
  • The flowers are purple, peach, pink and orange.

With prolonged and abundant flowering, the hybrid bush takes on a slightly spreading shape. Roses for decorative purposes are grouped. This hybrid is often used to decorate borders.

Agrotechnics

Rose Poetry

It is better to plant bushes in early spring. For Mary Ann, loamy or black earth soil is suitable. Sprouts can be planted in places where water is nearby, as this rose tolerates a large amount of moisture well.

Important! For 1 sq. m beds, you can not plant more than 3 plants, otherwise there will be a thickening of plantings, which will lead to the death of flowers.

Pits are dug up to 50 cm deep, superphosphate and humus are placed on their bottom. It is recommended to deepen the root collar by 5 cm.Then the planted hybrids are watered with water, and the ground under the stems is mulched with sawdust (layer thickness - up to 8 cm).

Planting and caring for roses

Shrubs are formed in the first year. With timely irrigation (1 time per week) and top dressing (the first time when buds appear, the second - during flowering, and the third - before frost) with mineral and organic fertilizers (but not manure), large flowers will appear on all planted bushes.

To protect against insects, pest-destroying drugs are used. For the same purposes, you can apply folk methods of fighting parasites, for example, soapy water or copper sulfate.
