Geranium Rozanne - what kind of flower is it
Currently, more than 350 species of geranium are known. The birthplace of the Roseanna variety is considered to be South Africa or India.
Short description
In 1989, on the garden plot of the spouses Rosanna and Donald Waterrer, two types of garden geraniums were accidentally crossed. The result is a completely new variety. The couple cherished this flower for some time, and then presented it to the world at a specialized exhibition.
Geranium Rosanna has been grown on windowsills for hundreds of years
Roseanne's appearance is peculiar. The plant is recumbent, it has long stems that spread along the ground. The leaves are soft and strongly toothed, green in color, deeply divided. There are up to five pieces on one stem. They emit a wonderful scent when touched.
For your information! Geranium flowers come in several shades: blue with a hint of purple, purple or white. The cooler the weather, the bluer the corolla becomes.
The buds are quite large; up to 3 pieces can be located on one stem. Flowers consist of 5-6 petals. The height of the bush is approximately half a meter. In a couple of years, the plant occupies an area of up to 1 m².

You need to be careful with Ballerina, ashy geraniums have a tap root and do not tolerate transplantation well. If you still need to replant, then the lump of earth should be large so as not to damage the root. Only old, overgrown bushes should be planted and divided, and it is better not to touch young ones, they will grow and spread on their own (depending on the species).
I started collecting them relatively recently, 2 years ago, about a third of what is already growing - (link not found) - Garden geraniums are quite simple to cultivate and unpretentious. Among them there are both low and tall species.

Girls, has anyone ever had geraniums?
For some reason, both this year and this year, some varieties were ill. The leaves turned brown starting from the petiole and dried out. To give the curtain a decent appearance, I had to cut off many of the leaves. I even sprayed it with copper sulfate a couple of times. But apparently I realized it too late
What could it be?

Olya, which ones were sick? Ashy ones could simply take a very long and painful time to take root - during this process, most of the disturbed root, and, accordingly, the leaves that it feeds, may rot away. It’s good if new roots grow from the root collar! (unless it rots too). This is how my Purple Pillow, planted in spring with its bare root, died and died all summer, and by the fall it died. Treatment here will most likely require antibiotics, like root rot in bearded irises.
Meadow geraniums may have powdery mildew, which may not appear as a white coating, but can be expressed precisely in the drying out of the leaves, however, starting from the edges. It is treated, as usual, with Topaz.
I haven’t encountered any other diseases with geraniums yet, so it’s very interesting! Although the year was, of course, simply phenomenal in terms of the number of mushroom diseases!

Ir, no, it’s not mealy. You know, something like rust. At least by the color of the petiole. It was the first time I saw this myself. Here you can see a little: -(link not found)-
I'm dry, very dry. Southern explication, southern slope. Geraniums are planted sparsely, not in a heap, and ventilated.
Small stamen, Endressii and Himalayan are definitely sick. This is the spread. First, there are rusty-brown spots along the petiole, then it goes to the leaf, it turns brown, the edge dries out, then the leaf curls into a fist (naturally), and then hangs down like a rag and dies. How about

Planting garden hybrid geranium Rosanna in open ground
Garden geranium - how to plant outside
Garden geranium Rosanna is unpretentious and frost-resistant. However, it is worth paying attention to the choice of planting site in open ground.
Selecting a location
Rozanne geranium grows calmly in both shade and sun. A flowerbed or pot is suitable for planting. In the second case, it is recommended to take a small container, which can be placed on the balcony in the summer.
When planting in open ground, it is better to position the crop so that the sun's rays hit it in the morning and in the afternoon. At noon it is recommended to shade the plant
How to prepare the soil and flower for planting
The plant is unpretentious to the composition and acidity of the soil, however, in order to get more beautiful flowers, it is recommended to prepare the soil:
- Dig small holes up to 15 cm deep.
- A small amount of peat is placed at the bottom.
- The sprouts are planted after a couple of weeks in a permanent place.
How to care in winter and summer
Hybrid geranium Rosanna is unpretentious. However, high-quality care will allow you to get larger flowers and a rapidly developing plant.
Watering rules and humidity
Bushes in open ground need to be watered as the soil dries out. The plant loves moisture, but does not tolerate waterlogging, so you should not be overzealous with irrigation.
Rosanna does not need spraying. In hot weather, such irrigation can cause burns on leaves and flowers.
Roseanne's petals come in different shades
Fertilizing and soil quality
The hybrid loves loose and fertilized soil, but it will also grow and develop well in clay or sandy soil. Fertilizing is carried out in the spring, using both mineral and organic fertilizers.
Pruning and replanting
Transplantation is best done in the spring once every couple of years. It would be enough.
Pruning is carried out if desired to give the geranium a certain shape. It is also necessary to remove excess shoots if the condition of the flower deteriorates.
Important! The branches are cut down to 10 cm, this will allow the crop to rejuvenate and develop better.
How to plant?
Place
First of all, you need to choose the right place where the plant will be located, which is very important, because the leaves of Pelargonium Lady Gertrude are very delicate and sensitive to direct sunlight, therefore, in a house/apartment you need to place it on the windowsill where the light is diffused . Also, despite the fact that Pelargonium is a very light-loving plant, in the afternoon it is important to place the pot with the plant where there is much less light than where it stood before, since from excess light the leaves of Pelargonium become thin and sluggish, the bush becomes sick and homely
Also, despite the fact that Pelargonium is a very light-loving plant, in the afternoon it is important to place the pot with the plant where there is much less light than where it stood before, since from excess light the leaves of Pelargonium become thin and sluggish, the bush becomes sick and nondescript. Therefore, based on the above requirements, we can say that it is recommended to place the plant on western or eastern window sills, where the sun is less active
Therefore, based on the above requirements, we can say that it is recommended to place the plant on western or eastern window sills, where the sun is less active.
Important! On average, for active and proper development of this crop, 4–8 hours of exposure to diffuse sunlight is enough.
The soil
For Pelargonium Lady Gertrude, loose and nutritious soil is ideal, so you should avoid the presence of various weighting agents in the substrate (for example, clay)
It is also important to place good drainage at the bottom of the container in which you plan to plant the plant. Crushed bricks or expanded clay stones of very small size are perfect
Optimal substrate composition for Pelargonium Lady Gertrude:
- Sand – 1 part.
- Peat soil – 1 part.
- Soddy soil - 1 part.
Pelargonium will not be able to grow in acidified soil, so the soil should have a slightly acidic or neutral reaction (pH 5.5 - 6.5).
For several days after transplanting (young or adult into a larger container or just purchased in a store), the plant must be watered very carefully so as not to allow the substrate to become waterlogged.
You can find out whether Pelargonium has taken root by the appearance of new growths on the stem.
Planting and caring for Rosanna geranium at home
Blood red garden geranium
At home, geraniums (including pelargonium) are planted in a suitable container. It is worth considering that this plant does not like large pots. It is better to choose small and not too deep.
A special mixture for indoor plants is suitable for the pot. Watering is carried out in a tray so as not to flood the root system and avoid its rotting.
A home flower is transplanted if it has grown greatly and the pot has become insufficient in size.
Features of plant flowering
Geranium Rosanna blooms even with minimal care and delights with a variety of flowers.
Period of activity and rest
The flowering of the crop begins early; some species produce flowers as early as June. The period of activity continues until the first frost. After which the plant accumulates strength and prepares for cold climate conditions.
Types and shape of flowers
Roseanne's flowers are shaped like a glass. The colors of the petals are varied - from white to blue. At the same time, they change shade depending on climatic conditions.
Flower propagation methods
Rosanna can be propagated in several different ways.
Reproduction by cuttings
From an adult plant you need to cut off a shoot with 5-7 leaves and place it in a container with water. It is recommended to add activated carbon to it. After about a week, the shoot will have roots and can be transplanted to a permanent location. Immediately after planting, the plant is watered, and a month later the first fertilizing is carried out.
Propagation by dividing rhizomes
Propagating a plant by dividing the root system is quite simple. The procedure is carried out in early spring. The plant is removed from the soil, the rhizome is examined, and diseased and dried shoots are removed. The cut areas are sprinkled with activated carbon to avoid the appearance and development of infection. Then they are divided into several parts and carefully placed in different holes.
Note! Unfortunately, geranium does not produce seeds at all, so this method of propagation will not work.
Roseanne does not produce seeds
How to properly care?
Temperature
In summer, geranium prefers moderate heat, so the temperature should be 17-23 degrees Celsius. If the temperature remains firmly within 12 degrees Celsius, then the geranium does not bloom. Although too high a temperature has a detrimental effect on flowering.
Watering
Hybrid geranium is a drought-resistant plant, so it is better to under-water than over-water. Watering in summer is carried out as the top layer of soil dries out. In winter, moistening is rare, but the soil should not be allowed to dry out completely. Use warm and settled water for irrigation.
Feeding
It is advisable to add food to geraniums with each watering, only reducing the dosage. If you water the flower every day, then the weekly feeding rate should be divided by 7-10. No fertilizer is required in winter. In spring it is necessary to use compounds containing nitrogen.
Reference! For young plants that have not yet bloomed, complex universal preparations are suitable. Before flowering, use fertilizers with a high concentration of potassium.
Trimming
After the plant has completed flowering, pruning is carried out, as a result of which the apical cuttings are cut off and used for rooting. The cut site is treated with a fungicide and sprinkled with activated carbon powder. The old leaves that remain on the plant do not need to be removed yet, but wait until the young shoots begin to grow.
Growing problems, diseases and pests
The Rosanna variety is unpretentious, but is not immune to diseases and damage by pests. Most problems arise as a result of violation of the rules of care:
- when there is excess moisture, leaves and buds fly off;
- with a lack of light, the leaves become sluggish and pale;
- lack of moisture leads to drying out of the plant;
- Rosanna is affected by aphids and whiteflies; you can get rid of them using special means;
- the appearance of spots on the leaves indicates possible fungal diseases; they can be dealt with using fungicidal agents.
Geranium Roseanna is popular with many gardeners. The plant is unpretentious, does not require special attention, and is easy to preserve in winter. Its decorative appearance and rapid growth allow it to be used in landscape design.
