They have small flowers without a smell, a diameter of 2.5 cm, collected in large clusters of up to 20 pieces. Blossom in summer for 35 days. Since last year, young shoots are not cut off, and old shoots are removed. In the spring, thin branches are cut off.

Peculiarities of growing roses
Since long lashes of roses will have to be laid for winter, they can not be planted close to each other. In the garden, a site is chosen where the roses will not be hot, and not cold. The best organic fertilizer will be cow dung, and the best soil for planting will be fertile, loamy.
Waving roses grow in one place, therefore it is necessary to treat planting holes accordingly. Dig them in size 50x50 cm. That part of the earth, which was taken from above, is lowered into a dimple, add 3 tbsp. l superphosphate and a bucket of river sand and humus. Stir and pour a slide into the dimple.
Planting wicker roses
The best time for planting is early spring, before the buds dissolve. Before planting, cut off stems at 30 cm, or 5 kidneys and a little plant roots. Dipped in a clay popper. Disinfect in a solution of copper sulfate, take a bucket of water 1 tbsp. spoon. The seedlings are lowered for half an hour. Then they plant a seedling on a hill, straighten the roots, fall asleep heavily on the ground and water abundantly.
Care for wicker roses
In summer young shoots of roses are fed, watered, weeded and loosen. During the summer the seedlings grow well. With the onset of autumn, the wicker roses are prepared for winter. In September, weak branches are cut off, bushes with the onset of frosts are plowed with earth, removed from the legs of the whip, pressed to the ground. And when they get used to this horizontal position, they are tied up in bundles, sprayed with a 3% solution of iron sulfate.
If the temperature drops to 8 degrees, from the wicker roses remove the leaves, cover with roofing material, boards. We leave the air layer under cover. And when the snow falls, they fall asleep.
In late March and early April, after the snow melts, the shelter is removed. It should be done in the evening or in cloudy weather, so that the stems of roses do not get sunburn. Toward the sun accustomed gradually. The mold on the shoots is washed with a 15% solution of copper sulfate. Shoots of weaving roses are tied to supports.

The bottom of the groove is loosened, add humus, the shoot is placed in the groove. The ends of the shoot are set vertically. For this, the stem is pinned to the soil in several places, covered with earth with humus. In the summer, this place is watered so that the land does not dry out. Escape is rooted to the next spring and it is cut off from the mother plant. A new, braided rose is transplanted to a permanent place and does not allow the first year to bloom.
Reproduction of weaving roses by cuttings gives many plants. After flowering, roses are cut in September to 20 cm. For this, non-shoot shoots are taken, spines easily cut off from them, a little more than a pencil thick. Cuttings cut from the middle of the shoot with 4 kidneys. The two lower leaves are removed, leaving only the kidneys. Cuttings are half submerged in solution of phytohormones for 12 hours.
In a shady place digs out a groove. Coarse-grained sand is poured into the bottom. The cuttings are placed at a distance of 15 centimeters from each other, they are filled with soil, the ground around is compacted and watered abundantly. Then the landing site loosens, is weeded and watered.
