Important! Due to its original color, the bushes are difficult to combine with other representatives of this variety. It has a second name: Sisi rose.
Hybrid Plant Growing
Hybrid Rose Sisi loves light areas, but in hot climates it grows well on darkened soil. Like any other hybrid flower variety, Mainzer Fastnacht loves a spacious place, reacts poorly to moisture and strong winds. The quality of flowering is affected by soil drainage. Untimely, the tilled soil near the bush leads to stagnation of moisture at the root system, causing a process of decay. Reproduction can be carried out using: cuttings, division of bush roots, seeds. The simplest and most effective is cuttings.
Fertile soil
The rules for planting a flower are quite simple:
- dig the soil thoroughly and clean it of weeds;
- the planting hole should be deep so that the root system is deep in the ground;
- roses love fertile soil, so if the land is sandy or not rich in trace elements, it is necessary to fill in compost or special soil for planting roses;
- after planting, you need to strengthen the bush well, and then water moderately;
- if shoots appear in a few days, you should definitely get rid of them.
Important! Planting of new bushes is carried out mainly in the fall or in the spring. However, most gardeners support the view that planting in early spring promotes faster growth than before the winter season.
Rose Care Rules
Compared to other flowers, varietal are unpretentious. Mandatory procedures that should be followed for better growth are:
- good soil drainage;
- timely watering. Roses need to be watered once a week. The recommended dose is 15-25 liters, depending on the aridity of the climate.
- regular weeding from weeds;
- high-quality top dressing, which is carried out twice: in spring and summer;
- prevention of diseases and pests by spraying;
- pruning wild shoots. The best time for this is early spring, when the buds are just starting to swell. Trimming the bush during flowering is carried out for two reasons: shaping the bush and increasing the number of buds. Cutting in the autumn is more of a sanitary nature.
Roses that grow in central Russia need shelter for the winter period. Before wintering, it is necessary to carefully trim the bush in order to cover one stalk.
Important! This is done when the last bud fades and the temperature drops below zero. The covering material is removed with the onset of spring, when night frosts leave.
All about flowering
The plant is famous for its magnificent buds of indescribable beauty. Their unique bluish tint makes them kings among all varieties of roses. However, the color of flowering may depend on the selected location for planting. The lighter and hotter the area, the bluer the shade will be weaker.
As a rule, one bud is located on one shoot. The variety is tall. The bush can reach a meter in length. Thanks to the exclusive color of the rose, it is quite difficult to pair it in the flower garden with other flowers. Great bouquets will come out of these varieties, in addition to which green plants and bouquet grass will do. The diameter of the bud varies from 10 to 11 cm. The aroma of roses resembles a light combination of citrus and essential oil. During the peak of flowering, the flower needs additional nutrition and thorough treatment from pests.
Many gardeners complain about the lack of buds on a bushy hybrid rose. If this happens, you need to carefully organize care, following all the requirements for growing a tea hybrid rose.
Important! If the bush grows the first year, then, most likely, the buds on it will not bloom.
Breeding information
Rosa Mayser can be propagated in several ways:
- the most convenient for gardeners - cuttings. Before propagation, it is necessary to select the stem from which the stalk will be cut. After trimming, you need to put it in a liquid stimulating root growth for a day;
- one of the simple, but not always effective, is dividing by bushes. Seeding should be carried out in spring or autumn. In hot weather, the likelihood that the wounds in the root system will heal and take root in a new place is rather low;
- hybrid roses breed well by layering. However, it is worth doing this in the fall or early spring, before the laying of new buds takes place;
- the most difficult, but the most effective way is reproduction by vaccination. The principle is similar to cuttings, but it takes a lot of time (from 1 year to 2 years) to produce a new variety plant.

Diseases and parasites
Roses, by virtue of their attractiveness, are a magnet for various pests and diseases. Rose bushes "love" the following diseases and pests:
- powdery mildew;
- aphid;
- gray rot;
- rust and black spots;
- butterflies.
As a preventive measure, it is necessary to treat the rose with a solution of ammonium nitrate every month. This helps to strengthen the root system and full flowering.
Thus, the Mainzer Fastnaht rose is suitable for floristry, but is absolutely not compatible with other flowers in the garden. The sophisticated shape and pleasant aroma make the plant desirable in elaborate installations.
