History
For the appearance of this flower, one should thank the Guyot family, which has been engaged in breeding work for more than two hundred years. The Emilien rose variety can be called unique, since work on it has been carried out for many decades. When the breeder discovered what an amazing result he had achieved, he gave the name of his son in the name of the rose. The first flower was born in 1997.
This species amazes with its flowers. They seem to glow from the inside. A special effect is created on bright sunny days, when the bud is fully opened. Usually the diameter of the flower is 12 centimeters. It is tightly packed with petals. The inflorescence itself has a pronounced orange color, perfectly set off by bright green foliage.

The buds can be collected in inflorescences no more than 3 pieces. The minimum flower size is 8 centimeters. Each bud contains more than 80 petals.

Growing features
Guillot pleases with its flowering all season
Rose Emile Guillot does not require any special approach to cultivation. If the florist has already planted roses on his site and looked after them, then this species can be done by analogy. You can give only small recommendations on the rules for choosing a site for planting and the peculiarities of care, so that rose Guillot will delight with its flowering all season.
Site selection
All representatives of the "royal" family prefer to grow in well-lit, humid and open areas. Rose Émilien Guillot is no exception. So that the bush is constantly renewed with new flowers, and the blossoming buds do not fade quickly, the plant should not have a lack of sun, warmth and air.
It is not necessary to form a flowerbed in the lowlands. Such a site promotes the accumulation of moisture, which creates a favorable environment for the reproduction of fungal spores. Despite the fact that this variety is frost-resistant and perfectly tolerates wintering, you should not plant the plant in a draft or an area where the wind "walks".
Soil requirements
The soil should not be sandy. Such soil will not retain moisture in summer, and will not protect against freezing in winter. Therefore, it is worth choosing a site with a predominance of loamy soil.In simple terms, this is a fertile land, which is mostly made of clay. It itself is rich in minerals and trace elements, so at first it does not need additional feeding.
The soil should not be sandy
Such soil perfectly permeates air and moisture, while being able to retain water in the required amount. It is difficult to give an accurate description of what loamy soil looks like. In order to understand what kind of soil is in the future flowerbed, you need to pick up a handful of earth and how to sprinkle it with water. After that they try to roll the soil into a ball, from which a small "sausage" is made. If the resulting "sausage" can be connected into a ring, the soil is clayey, but if cracks are visible on the ring, then the soil is loamy.
A clay area is also suitable for planting a rose, only a little humus should be added to it first. If nothing can be blinded or rolled out of the ground at all, there is sandy soil on the site. In order to make a good flower bed on it, you will have to spend a lot of effort.
Pit preparation
This type of rose grows very much both in height and in width. Therefore, the planting hole must be large. If the planting of seedlings is planned in the spring, then the deepening should be dug in the fall. If the gardener did not have time or forgot to do this, you need to prepare the hole at least two weeks before the expected planting of the rose.
The planting hole must be large
If the soil meets the above requirements, no fertilization is needed. But if roses, even of other varieties, have already grown on the site, it is necessary to apply organic fertilizers and treat the soil from possible diseases.
Landing rules
Rose Emile Guillot is a frost-resistant plant. Therefore, it is permissible to plant a seedling in the fall. If the region has severe winters, then it is better to land in the spring.
A seedling is suitable for planting, on which there are no more than 3-5 shoots. If there are more of them, you should trim. Shoot length is formed by the number of buds. They should be left three.
The seedling does not go deeply, the root collar should go into the ground no more than 2-3 centimeters. All buds should remain on the surface.
Care
At first after planting, the seedling needs regular watering. This should be done every day for one week, in small portions. If the rose is not rooted, you can continue your daily watering for another week and add compost to retain moisture.
The seedling needs regular watering
To stimulate growth, two weeks after planting the plant, you can apply top dressing. If the rose begins to bloom immediately after planting, the buds should be pinched off. So the plant will take root faster.
Bush formation
This process is especially significant in the first year of life. After the formation of the 5th leaf, the shoot must be pinched. For the rose Emile Guillot, high growth is important, so you should not touch the vertical shoots, the lateral ones should be pinched.
Preparation for wintering
The shrub needs shelter for the winter
The variety is considered frost-resistant. However, the shrub needs shelter for the winter and some preparation for the cold season:
- You need to pinch the tip of the plant at the end of September.
- No need to dig up the soil around the bush before cooling.
- From mid-September to early spring, there is no need to water the plant.
- Before the cold weather, the bush is covered with sand. A mound is made of it, up to 50 centimeters high.
