Rose Schneewalzer

The design of a private plot for the owner is a rather complicated matter. It has long been known for its successful use in its design - the use of climbing roses for entwining hedges, gazebos, columns. Especially if paired with red roses there are white ones. A win-win option is to pay attention to the decoration of the site with a Schneewalzer rose - translated as “Snow Waltz”. In 2001, at a competition in Geneva (Switzerland), the rose received the title of "Golden Rose".

Rosa Schneewalzer is climbing. She is very beautiful, so her description is accompanied by expressions such as:

• “In half-dissolution - the countess, in full dissolution - the empress”;
• "The most beautiful white rose";
• "Soul of the garden".

This variety is popular in Western Europe and Scandinavia. The variety was bred relatively recently, in 1987.

Climbing rose Schneewalzer: planting and care

Care

Climbing rose Schneewalzer

Adult rose bushes are fed in spring with nitrogenous fertilizers, and during the flowering period - with complex mineral fertilizers. It is important during this period to exclude nitrogen fertilizers and manure.

Be sure to cut off the old and thin stems that thicken the bush, depriving it of food and color.

You do not need to water the rose often, it is important to soak the ground well, about 20 liters.

After flowering, remove all faded buds, they slow down the onset of the second flowering.

Preparation for winter and wintering

You need to cover the rose in late October - early November (take into account the landing region), but you need to bend the lashes to the ground earlier. It is better to press with arcs (the lashes are in the tunnel) and only lay the covering material on them, without using heavy ones.

Protection from frost without snow - abundant watering in October-November (see weather conditions).

Reproduction

The Schneewalzer rose is propagated only by cuttings in order to preserve varietal qualities.

Advantages and disadvantages in comparison with other varieties
