Depending on the variety, the bushes can grow from 30 to 100 cm in height. At the tops of the stems, a lush shock of bright, saturated colors is formed. They are also different to the touch: some are terry, others are smooth. In shape, the buds are cupped or goblet.

The diameter of the flowers varies from 4 to 10 cm. The flowering period is mid-summer. It does not occur in one wave, like in other groups, but continues throughout the season. Of course, this is the particular advantage of floribunda roses over other crops.

Plants in this group can be grown as a shrub, as a small tree or as a house flower. It is for this reason that the scope of application of floribunda varieties is very diverse: they are used to decorate garden and summer cottages, loggias, flower beds, gazebos, ordinary apartments.

Note! Floribunda Midsummer rose was bred in 2007 by the German company Tantau. The name of the company is indicated on the documents that are attached to the purchase of seedlings in specialized stores.

Rose Poetry

The maximum height of the bush is 1 m, and the width is 60 cm. In diameter, the flowers reach 60, sometimes 80 mm, while their number on one stem exceeds a dozen. Each flower has approximately 30 petals. The color palette of the Midsummer variety is very diverse: the outside of the bud is painted in dark yellow tones, and the inside is in deep pink, bright crimson, red, scarlet or cherry.

Distinctive characteristics of the variety:

  • erect stems;
  • compact bush;
  • leaves of medium size, rich green with a glossy surface;
  • flowers are collected in small bouquets growing on one shoot;
  • flowering begins in mid-June.

Thanks to this combination, the shrub looks very elegant, festive. According to some experts, a large number of small flowers, behind which green leaves are almost invisible, is a disadvantage of the variety, which reduces its decorative properties. The buds bloom at different times, so both very young flowers and wilting ones can be located nearby. Favorably distinguishes this variety from other floribunda by a rather weak, but at the same time very pleasant, unusual, attractive aroma.

Growing and care

Caring for Midsummer is not difficult. Seedlings with an open root system are planted in the spring in a soil well warmed by the sun's rays or in the fall, when the soil has not yet had time to freeze and harden.The exact dates of planting depend on the characteristics of the climate in a particular region. It is necessary to find such a moment so that the flower has time to take root and get stronger, but at the same time does not actively grow and develop. For planting Midsummer in the Russian regions of the Middle Lane, September and the first decade of October are ideal. If the plant was sold in a container with ready-made soil, planting can be done even in summer.

Important! Water the rose with a small amount of cold, settled water. Often, after the procedure, a crust forms on the soil. It is recommended to fluff up dried soil.

Shrub pruning should be gentle. The main goal of the event is to rid the plant of damaged and diseased shoots, as well as to free the rose from overgrown stems.

This variety needs spring feeding, only in this case the plant will be able to form such a large number of beautiful buds.

In the process of active growth and development, the rose is fed with complex organic and mineral fertilizers. There are 2 options here:

  • The flower is fertilized 2 times a month, alternating organic matter with mineral additives.
  • A general mixture is made and also introduced into the soil 2 times a month. It is made from manure and water in a ratio of 1: 3, then potassium, nitrogen and superphosphate are added to it. Then it all mixes well. The mixture should be fermented for 2 weeks. For irrigation, 1 part of the fertilizer is used, previously mixed with 10 liters of water.

Important! In September, it is recommended to apply potash fertilizer, due to which the cold resistance of the flower will significantly increase

Despite the frost resistance of the flower, in regions with very cold winters, Midsummer (Midsummer) rose is advised to spud to a height of about 35 cm or mulch with sawdust, cover with spruce branches or peat.

This variety is very rarely subject to disease. The shrub is not susceptible to powdery mildew and black spot. Does not suffer from high humidity in rainy weather. And yet, despite the high immunity, the plant sometimes gets sick, and the wrong care becomes the cause. In particular, abundant watering can cause root decay. Further, the rose will not be able to form flowers if it does not have enough sunlight, heat and fertilizer.

Fertilizers and feeding

In addition to diseases, pests are dangerous to the plant:

  • scabbards;
  • aphid;
  • spider mite.

To get rid of parasites, the shrub should be treated with insecticides.

Note! In rare cases, a parasitic fungus and rust can overcome the rose. Treatment of the rose with fungicidal preparations, which contain triadimefon and tebuconazole, will help to eliminate the problem. As an analogue, you can use Bordeaux liquid.

Rosa Midsummer is susceptible to such a serious disease as bacterial cancer. Signs of the disease are dark spots on the shoots. In order to prevent the spread of the disease to other plant tissues, all infected stems should be cut off, and the shrub should be treated with Bordeaux liquid or copper sulfate.
