What are standard roses?
Standard roses are grown by grafting several varieties of roses together to form a high plant that has long stems and colored, complex flowers. Standard roses, also called pink standards or tree roses, come dwarfs and full -size varieties. When growing this plant variety, the gardeners combine the best elements of strong rootstocks, high stem and the desired flower. There are many different varieties and cultivars, with more appearing every year. Standard roses are used in the landscape to create height and color elements and are often used for cut mysteries of flowers. Grafting
is an ancient method of plant reproduction that uses gardeners to combine the most sought -after elements of several varieties of plant species. There are many methods and variations of grafting. Usually cutting from a plant that produces good flowers or fruit, grafted to diversity that produces strong roots and shows rapid growth. Roses have Woody STEMS that are very suitable for robebiting. Centuries of breeding and grafting led to a huge number of pink varieties and cultivars.
Standard roses combine the best elements of three different pink plants. One of the plants is selected for its strong roots, resistance to soil disease and good growth rate. This plant is called rootstock. The upper part of the rootstock plant is cut off and a variety of roses with a long stem is grafted on it. Once the graft is taken, the upper part of the long trunk plant is removed and cutting from a rose with a good color of flowers and production is grown on it.
In the landscape they create standard roses height in rose gardens and shrub beds and add color to border areas. Roses that are often used to line the roads are pink roses for elegance and beauty. Standard roses are well suitable as bush samples in the landscape. In addition to the seemingly endless pool, there are also colors, individual trees with several differentme with colors of flowers. The standard rose, set in a large container, is a distinctive complement to the terrace, porch or other outdoor living space.
standard full -size roses grow 4 to 6 feet (about 1.2 to 1.8 m) high. Dwarf varieties usually grow 12 inches (about 30 cm) high. The dwarf standard roses share a shape similar to a tree, long stems and a rich color of flowers, only in a smaller size.
Standard roses require more protection in the landscape than in other bushes or rose climbing. A area that is protected from the wind is required. When plants are set up, they can help them keep them upright.
