The standard rose does not grow as a bush, but in the form of a small tree. This is not a specific variety, but only a miracle created by skillful human hands. And anyone can do such a miracle.
This does not require much knowledge. The main thing is the desire to achieve positive results and a little patience, and you will become the owner of a real masterpiece. The standard rose, the photo of which is placed below, will be the decoration and pride of any garden plot, private house or cottage.
Rootstock for standard rose
Rose hips are used as a rootstock for rose trees, as they are well adapted to severe frosts. Branches of roses of different varieties are grafted to its trunk. Their choice depends on the height of the desired stem rose and the shape of the future tree.
Before purchasing a standard rose, it would not hurt to ask the seller what rootstock it is grafted on. Rubiginose rose and cinnamon rose are unsuitable for these purposes. They give a lot of shoots, the shoots are strewn with sharp thorns, and the growth of lashes leaves much to be desired.
The trunk of low rose trees will be no more than forty-five centimeters. The height of the semi-standard ones ranges from seventy to eighty centimeters.
Stamp - up to one meter, andweeping species (they are also called cascading) - from a meter to a meter of seventy centimeters. Accordingly, small roses are usually grafted onto low boles, and larger roses are grafted onto high boles, which looks much more spectacular.
There is also a room rose tree. But this is an option for an apartment, an elegant rose requires special care. She does not tolerate cold weather and severe frosts. At the first frost, the flower will die. Do not confuse indoor rose with hibiscus. Very often it is called a room rose. Hibiscus reaches a height of 2 meters and takes up a lot of space, unlike a real miniature indoor rose.

There are certain varieties of roses that gardeners most often choose for grafting on stems. Grouse (Grose) and Nozomi (Nozomi) are suitable for "trees". For weeping, that is, cascading, Ballerina and Canary Bird are good choices.
It is not so easy to find suitable varieties for small standard trees. If the crown of the rosewood is thickened, then the impression of heaviness will be created. And this will not decorate the initially conceived miracle.
For a small garden or patio, low stems are suitable, and one of the best varieties for them is Knirps. In this rose, the buds are delicate, pink, look elegant on the "leg" of the trunk. Such a rose-tree will look great in the center of a flower garden, in a single copy. It does not need to be complemented by other colors.

Roses with large inflorescences are suitable for large garden plots. These include New Down. Rose tree of this species is popular with gardeners. Planted as a single plant, and surrounded by other flowers.
A tree rose of this variety looks great anyway. Her foliage is small, but her mass is large, so the bush looks massive. Against this green background, large light rosebuds “shimmer” like stars in the sky.
Cascading rose
For cascading stems, completely different varieties of roses are selected. Paul Noel has lush pink inflorescences, has an attractive aroma that is felt from a distance. Rosarium Vetersen - a variety also suitable for this type of boles, flowers are bright pink, with a touch of fuchsia,looks good next to hedges that are neatly trimmed.
If you prefer roses of white shades, pure as pearls, pay attention to Alba Meidiland or Schneewittchen. In the second grade, the color is more delicate and soft, but it will delight with flowering shoots longer.
Leverkusen is one of the brightest colors to offer, blooming with bright yellow flowers. From the cascading family, there is also a classic of scarlet colors - Scarlett Maylandekor. All these varieties, regardless of the color of the rose petals, resemble hanging bright carpets of blooming greenery or fabulous waterfalls. Varie, of course, play a big role in choosing such a miracle for the future owner, but you also need to know how to care for them.
Caring for standard roses
Caring for pink trees is not very different from caring for spray roses, but there are some nuances depending on the variety of bole. Flowers require regular watering, weeding often, loosening the soil for rose growth, be sure to fertilize, protect from pests, and shelter from the cold in winter.
After planting, the rosewood canopy should be kept from drying out while the tree takes root. To do this, it is covered with wet moss or cotton wool, covered with paper on top. This “compress” must be regularly moistened, and it will be possible to remove it in seven to ten days. It is better to do this in cloudy weather or in the evening.
Water treatments
The tree rose requires regular watering, but should be done withbeing careful not to spill. Watering is carried out early in the morning or in the evening. It is better to water, directing the jet under the root. The crown of the tree also needs a water shower to refresh it without letting the sun "bake" the plant.
Weeds and fertilizers
Under pink trees, as well as under other flowers, weeds appear. They must be removed in time, weeding the soil. Also, the soil must be regularly loosened, allowing the roots to "breathe". You can do such procedures several times a season.
Feeding with fertilizers
Fertilizers should be added to the soil already at the time of planting rosewood. If you want your bole to bloom for a long time and often, we advise you to add superphosphate in granular form to the bottom of the dug hole for planting.
Other fertilizing with special fertilizers for roses is desirable to carry out in the spring, until the moment when the leaves on the branches bloom. And at the end of summer, you must not forget to fertilize the soil of the rosewood with potassium, it will help the plant prepare for the winter cold.
How to protect rosewood from pests?
A rose-tree of any variety and species is attacked by some disease or pest. It can be spider mites, common aphids and other insects that are happy to eat fresh foliage, sucking the juice from the plant.
To avoid this and protect the rose tree from death, you can use a special preparation - a sprayer. This preparation is suitable for any variety of roses. Spraying is carried out twice a year, in early spring andsummer.
How to cover a standard tree for the winter
There are two ways to shelter standard roses during the cold season.
First - the trunk is carefully bent to the ground using studs or cross-shaped wooden rods. Then you need to throw a little earth on top with a mound.
Second - used if the stem does not bend. Then the rose tree is covered in a standing position. First, the crown is covered with some kind of dry material, such as hay. And the top is tied with burlap. This option of sheltering roses for the winter is possible only where there are no severe frosts. Otherwise, the rosewood is dug up for the winter and stored in the basement.
Cutting
To make the rosewood look well-groomed and rounded, it is pruned from time to time. In the first year after planting the tree, the crown branches are cut short, leaving no more than 15 centimeters from the base.
In subsequent years, pruning should be carried out depending on the condition of the tree. Those shoots that have begun to grow inside the crown should be removed; the crown of the rose should not be allowed to become too dense. It often happens that growths appear at the roots and on the stem itself, which should also be removed.
