According to the description, the most popular color is ivory. The bush reaches a height of up to 1 meter. It is very compact and has dense foliage.
Rosa Taleya is thermophilic and prefers well-lit areas. However, the variety needs to be in the shade for some time, since constant sunlight is not entirely desirable.
Agricultural technology of cultivation
Planting any plant begins with site selection. Roses are no exception. The right location is the key to good growth and productivity.
Place and soil
The site is selected taking into account the biological characteristics of the culture. The area should have good access to light and only a little shade.
Rose is a heat-demanding crop, so it needs to be grown in warm regions. Cultivation in cold conditions may not yield satisfactory results. The site for planting should be protected from drafts, since this variety is oppressed from them.
As for the soil conditions, here the variety is not too whimsical. The only thing is that the soil should not be waterlogged. This does not mean that wet soils are not suitable for cultivating the Taleya variety. On the contrary, roses prefer moist, but not waterlogged soils. If, nevertheless, soils with excess moisture prevail on the site, then sand and gravel must be placed in the planting hole, which will absorb excess moisture.
By the way, when choosing a place for planting on your site, you must definitely take into account the neighborhood with other cultures. In particular, you should not plant roses next to carnations and mignonette, as it will oppress them.
Planting a rose bush
After choosing a place, you need to dig a landing hole (half a meter deep and half a meter wide). In advance, you need to prepare a soil containing a mixture of manure, earth, sand and peat. You need to plant the plant at the end of spring, when the soil warms up enough.
Before planting in the ground, the seedling can be soaked in water for better germination. It is better to remove dry parts of the seedling in advance. After planting, pruning is carried out - the shoots are shortened for better further growth.

Rose Taleya needs watering once a week (at the rate of 1 bucket of water per bush). Weeding is carried out periodically to exclude the inhibitory effect of weeds on the productivity of the plant.
Diseases and pests
Rose Taleya, like many garden plants, is affected by diseases and pests. This is due to adverse weather conditions, lack of light and heat, the presence of weeds, mechanical damage. Therefore, in order to reduce the likelihood of damage, you must first of all observe the agrotechnical rules of cultivation.
