10 best frost-resistant rose varieties for the Moscow region


Types and classification of winter-hardy roses

There is a modern classification that divides all frost-resistant varieties of roses into 3 groups:

  1. Absolutely winter-hardy flowers are also in an upright position in winter, withstanding the lowest temperatures and do not require special care;
  2. winter-hardy roses are also vertically positioned during wintering, but in severe frosts there is a tendency to freeze; average degree of stability do not require shelter in mild winters and freeze only to the level of snow, so they need to be bent.

Artificially bred roses in the form of Canadian hybrids, which are able to survive at temperatures of -45 degrees below zero without damage, can easily compete with them. They are also suitable for the northern regions, the Urals and Siberia.

How to choose roses for growing in Siberia and the Urals

The harsh climate of these regions dictates its own rules for choosing ornamental plants. Winters here are long, spring is late, warm days are rare. Seedlings should be purchased already adapted to such weather conditions. Unpretentious varieties of perennial roses for these regions are considered:

  • Residence;
  • Stadt rum;
  • Popsicle;
  • Larissa;
  • Fairy;
  • Sunny fairy tale;
  • Jazz.

For the northwestern regions, it is better to choose creeping ground cover varieties of the following species:

  • patios – low-growing, ridged, landscaped;
  • floribunda - landscape, flower beds with abundant flowering;
  • Canadian - Aisha, Queen of the North, Casanova, Abusta.

The last group is most preferable, since in Canada the climate is the same as in northern Russia. Roses grafted onto mother plants grown in Siberia or the Urals tolerate severe frosts well.

Note! Winter-hardy roses intended for cultivation in harsh climates must be resistant to pests and diseases

Brief description of varieties suitable for the Moscow region

Florentina flower with a yellow heart inside.

The Moscow region belongs to USDA zone 4, which corresponds to minimum temperatures in winter from -28 to -34. Accordingly, the most suitable varieties for cultivation here will be varieties with high frost resistance. But this is a conditional criterion, since even more heat-loving roses take root in the Moscow region, but require full shelter in winter. Also, varieties with recommended growing zones below 4 can freeze severely in winter, as a result the most magnificent flowering will be suppressed.

Cordes roses are considered the most suitable for cultivation in this region. Canadian varieties are also distinguished by increased endurance, but due to their external characteristics they are more of an acquired taste. In the gardens of the Moscow region you can also find roses from Tantau, Somerset Rose Nursery, Boerner, David Austin and others.

What criteria must be taken into account when choosing a rose for growing in the Moscow region:

  1. Tolerance to changes in climatic conditions. Since the middle zone is characterized by a full passage of all four seasons with their characteristic weather conditions.
  2. Disease resistance. The off-seasons characteristic of the region with high humidity and frequent absence of sun increase the risk of many ailments that easily spread in such a climate.
  3. It is worth choosing varieties with reduced sun requirements. For more than six months, the daylight hours in this region do not correspond to those necessary for the full development of the rose, and accordingly the plant’s immunity decreases.

As a result, even among the varieties that meet the above criteria, lovers of the queen of the garden have a huge choice in color, type of flower, and aroma. Below we will look in more detail at several varieties that are most often chosen by gardeners in this region.

Features of cultivation

Now let us dwell in more detail on the description of the conditions for growing winter-hardy varieties of climbing roses in the Moscow region:

  1. Landing. The planting site should be well lit by the sun, but direct midday sunlight will cause burns on the plant leaves. It must be protected from drafts that circulate at the corners of the rooms. It is better to plant roses in the spring, because plants planted in the fall will not be strong enough for winter frosts. If you plan to plant a group of plants, the distance between them should be about a meter, and the row spacing should be up to two meters wide. When planting near supports, maintain a distance of 50 cm from them.

The depth of the hole is determined by covering the root collar with soil by 10 cm

  1. The soil. It must be loose, loamy, and must have a fertile layer. Lime can be added to improve the chemical composition. To improve flowering, it is necessary to dig up the soil for planting both in autumn and spring with the addition of phosphorus fertilizers, humus and humus.

Climbing roses will not grow on sand and clay

  1. Feeding. Due to the high demand of flowers for fertilizers, it is necessary to feed the flower at least 5 times before flowering. It is necessary to alternate organic and mineral fertilizers.

Feeding roses

This is important: do not apply fertilizers under any circumstances while climbing roses are blooming.

  1. Watering. Since these types of roses are resistant to lack of moisture, they do not like waterlogged soil. It is better to water frequently, but little by little, waiting for the soil layer to dry. Excess moisture is death for the flower.

  1. Diseases. Roses are affected by bark cancer, powdery mildew, spider mites, and aphids. To combat cancer, pruning of damaged areas is used. They get rid of parasites using traditional methods (nettle decoction) or purchased insecticides.

Powdery mildew on a rose

  1. Shelter. Since the climate of the Moscow region is characterized by frosty winters, roses need high-quality shelter. First, dig holes in the places where the lashes were located, fill them with fallen leaves, put the lashes on top and cover them with leaves again. Be sure to lay a layer of film or roofing felt on top of such a shelter.
  1. Pruning climbing roses. The plant will not be strong and hardy enough if the correct pruning technology is not followed. After opening, look for shoots that have been damaged or weakened by inspection. They are subject to mandatory removal. And in the summer, you need to trim off the vines that have already bloomed. Thanks to such manipulations, the plant has the opportunity to rejuvenate and form young branches.

Pruning roses after flowering

Since the varieties of climbing roses we described above have certain requirements for soil, climate, and care, they cannot be taken as a basis by any beginning gardener due to differences in climatic conditions in different regions of Russia.

Floribunda rose in landscape design

In country houses and garden plots, floribunda is often used as hedges. Varieties of roses with a strong aroma are recommended to be placed near houses and gazebos. Low-growing shrubs look great as a frame for garden paths and alpine slides. Tall roses, together with other flowers, are placed in the background.
