Cucumber Maryina Roscha is a hybrid f1, the result of crossing two different varieties of cucumbers. Crops undergo this process for better productivity and increased resistance to disease. This hybrid staunchly resists cold snaps, develops well in the shade and gives a bountiful harvest until late autumn. It is impossible to collect seed from hybrids for further cultivation, therefore their seeds are more expensive on the market than varietal cucumbers.

Therefore, the variety is grown both in open areas and in closed areas (greenhouses, hotbeds) without access to insects. When grown in greenhouses, the vertical method is usually used - they let the whips along the trellis or tie them to the crossbar.
