The rose appeared in my garden by accident, due to a mismatch. It was not possible to drop off immediately after the purchase. She stood in the pot for some time and actively grew shoots. After planting, she became ill and had to be trimmed a little. But the very first one bloomed, although it stopped growing in height. The first flowers were small and not very double; when they opened, they showed their middle. Over time, the situation changed, the buds gained density and stopped looking sloppy. I noticed that the flowers can withstand heat and rain.

In the first year, after the rose was planted, I cut off all the buds, as stated in the instructions for the variety. Over the summer, the branches grew more than a meter. Laying them down for shelter for the winter was not difficult. The rose overwintered well. Next year there were 3 - 5 flowers on each stem. The color changed as stated in the description, first the lower petals on the yellow buds turned red, then the rose changed color completely. This is the most beautiful variety in my garden.

Something went wrong with my rose from the very beginning. Instead of beautiful double flowers, simple pale buds bloomed. At first I thought there was a mistake. The packaging featured a bright yellow and red rose. Having contacted summer residents on the forum, I found out that they were the only ones with such a problem. Roses purchased at different retail outlets turned out to have the same shortcomings. The manufacturer probably made an error. It is impossible to foresee this, as well as to correct it. Therefore, I had to say goodbye to the rose. I removed it from the garden.

If we are talking about the color of a rose, then a clear alternative is the mother variety from the group floribunda under the same name “Rumba”. It differs from the climbing plant in size, its height is 40 - 60 cm. The color of the flowers is red at the edges, and yellowing towards the center of the bud. The flowers are not large - 4 - 6 cm, collected in umbrella inflorescences. The variety is resistant to disease and frost. Used in group plantings and as low border hedges.

Question No. 2. What to plant next to Rumba Climbing?

Plants with white and yellow flowering colors are appropriate as neighbors. Suitable for decorative foliage herbaceous perennials with silver color.

A win-win option is coniferous plants.

Advice from a specialist on planting the Rumba Climbing variety.

To grow the Rumba Climbing variety, you need a sunny and not too windy place, fertile, not waterlogged soil. On very dry soils it is better to use drip irrigation. When watering by hand, it is better to irrigate rarely, but abundantly, at least 20 l/m2. The variety is planted in spring or autumn. Immediately after planting, watering and hilling are carried out; the height of the earthen cone is 15 - 20 cm. The bush is pruned as necessary, removing old, dry and broken shoots. For decorative effect and longer flowering, you need to remove faded and faded flowers in a timely manner. In garden plots, the Rumba Claiming variety looks especially good in tree and shrub groups with coniferous plants.

(!) Cut flowers stand well in bouquets.

Therefore, the main rule for pruning the Samba Floribunda rose is moderation. The following shows flower pruning using the example of the Samba Floribunda rose - the procedure is described step by step and is easy to understand even for a novice gardener.

Good pruning is 6-8 buds, which is equivalent to a distance of 45 cm from the ground. However, it does not always bring successful continuous summer fragrance. What to do?

Undertake combined pruning. Some stems - lightly, for early flowering. Others - strongly, to stimulate the growth of root shoots and aim the rose for late flowering. This manipulation is performed annually in February-March. Sometimes the deadline is shifted depending on local climatic and soil conditions.

In the fall, the main stems and damaged roots of the bush obtained from the nursery are lightly trimmed. In February-March of the first year, strong stems should be cut to 3-5 buds (20 cm above the soil), and all weak ones should be removed.

In the same months of the second year, the basal branches of one-year-olds are shortened by a third. The lateral ones are cut 10-15 cm from the base (2-3 buds). The center of the bush needs to be opened, for which strong growths of old stems are removed.

In the third and all subsequent years, between mid-February and mid-March, anti-aging pruning is carried out. Annual strong branches are removed by 1/3. Biennials - 15-22 cm from the ground (5 buds). Old stems of thickened bushes are completely removed.

All emerging buds are removed. In August, the bush stops forming and the plant is allowed to bloom. Without pinching, growth will slow down and winter hardiness will decrease.

If you have a Floribunda Laminuette rose growing in your front garden, water it once the soil dries out, once a week. 10 liters of water per bush is enough. It will turn out abundantly and infrequently. When watering, do not direct the water onto flowers and leaves. The procedure should be carried out with settled, non-cold water and choose morning or evening for watering.

Mulching and fertilizing

Mown grass, rotted manure, compost, sawdust, and chopped hay are used as mulch. Mulching improves soil structure, promotes the life of earthworms, and smoothes out temperature changes. An 8-centimeter layer of mulch applied eliminates the need for annual digging.

After pinching the buds of the Floribunda Golden Dreams rose, it is recommended to water the bushes with either mullein infusion (ratio 1:10) or chicken droppings (ratio 1:20). In spring, all varieties benefit from a urea solution ( Matchbox per bucket). During the period May-August, roses are fertilized every 2 weeks. By the end of summer, the proportions of potassium and phosphorus increase. In autumn, roses use wood ash as a fertilizer (a glass per bush). To improve soil health, infusions of nettle, marigold, and comfrey are used. Before the first flowering, all roses are fed with sodium humate (1 teaspoon per bucket of water).
