How did it happen that a simple secretary was accommodated in such luxurious apartments? - Tamara stretched out her tanned legs and looked at her friend with envy.

Julie smiled shyly and brushed back her ash-colored hair.

It's all Alan. He booked me a hotel room.

The same guy who got you this job? - Tamara released cigarette smoke. - Yes, you will always find the right people. Alan Moore is the son of the big boss.

Julie winked:

I have known Alan for a long time... Our fathers were friends. When I told him I was going to quit modeling and find more exciting work abroad, he offered me a position in his father's company. Naturally, I immediately agreed.

Yes, naturally,” Tamara repeated. - And who would think of reproaching you? How can such a place be compared with the miserable apartment of a simple secretary? It's a shame you have to get to work right away!

Julie sat up and looked around. Just a few yards from the hotel are the blue sea of ​​Tripoli and the gentle African sun. A far cry from the boring world of a London modeling agency, where life consists of a series of changes, taxi rides and talk about outfits. There was never time to notice the blue sky and blooming trees. The only thought was high fashion.

Here, in the gardens of the Gerard Hotel, people paid little attention to clothing. And all thanks to the sun. Dark bodies in colorful robes were visible everywhere. Among those present, only one man at the table next to him preferred a more formal attire: a light suit, white shirt and tie. Julie remembered that a few minutes ago this man was not alone at the table. But apparently his companion had already left, and now he was alone sipping a drink from a glass.

When Julie raised her head, her eyes met those of the stranger, and the girl concluded that he had heard their entire conversation. The man's gaze was full of hostility.

Julie felt uneasy, but in the end, what did she care about him? He'll leave soon anyway. She was sure the man was not staying at Gerard's. Otherwise, during the week she spent here, she would definitely have noticed him. He had broad shoulders, a tanned face, rough but handsome. Julie didn't pay attention to the color of his hair, but for some reason she was sure that it was dark brown with a reddish tint.

Why don't you ask Alan to spare you the hassle of going to the office? At the end of the week you will simply pick up your check.

Tamara laughed heartily, and Julie became nervous. She liked Tamara Stevens. The American turned out to be a good friend, but, like all her compatriots, she spoke too loudly and was not at all embarrassed. In addition, she constantly hinted that there was something more behind Julie's friendship with Alan Moore.

Julie understood perfectly well that a simple secretary of one of the offices of an oil company was unlikely to live in a luxurious hotel, but everything happened thanks to Alan. Over time, she intended to find more modest housing, but for now she had to live in luxurious apartments.

Tamara lazily remarked:

Just don't tell me, my dear, that with such good looks you're going to spend the rest of your days at a typewriter.

I have to admit that I don't really like the job. I would rather immerse myself in the fun life of Tripoli. - Julie sighed. She would never have been able to explain why she said those words. Maybe to give this disgusting man new reason for ridicule. “Perhaps when Alan returns to Tripoli, I will persuade him to find me an easier job,” she added.

At that moment, two young men walked up the stairs. Laughing and cheerfully chatting about something in Italian, they rushed straight to Tamara, and she greeted them good-naturedly. Julie breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps now the man at the next table will leave.

Tony, Eugene,” Tamara introduced, “this is Julie Lambert.” She's just from England. Grab some chairs, guys. How about a drink?

The young man named Eugene raised his hands with a dazzling smile.

No, no, we've already had a drink. - Looking slyly at his friend, he put his hand into the pocket of his tight trousers and pulled out a flask.

Wow! - Tamara threw back her head and laughed roughly. “You can’t count on me, but Julie is all yours.”

The young people nodded cheerfully, and Eugene poured something into Julie's glass.

What is this? - she asked with a mixed feeling of curiosity and suspicion. - I've never drunk anything stronger than gin and orange juice.

Julie! - Devils danced in Eugene’s black eyes. - Once you try this...

It's a matter of experience. - Julie raised the glass to her lips with a laugh.

Before she had time to take a sip, someone's hand roughly snatched the glass from her hands. The contents spilled onto the lawn.

“You’d better get used to the local climate first before trying the disgusting local swill,” said a tall man sitting at the next table.

He took the flask, screwed the cap tightly, and thrust it into Eugene's hands, bursting into a stream of words in Italian that made the young men step back timidly. The stranger stared at Julie:

It's bad when oil company employees expose themselves to ridicule. If you really want to get drunk, go where no one can see you.

Julie's blue eyes flashed with anger. What a cheek! What does he care about this! She jumped up to give the man a worthy rebuff, but he had already turned and walked towards the exit, saying goodbye:

There is plenty of entertainment in this city, as you will undoubtedly soon see.

Wow! - Tamara gasped in shock. -Where did Clay Whitman come from here? I didn't know he was on vacation. - She grinned. - He's in a bad mood.

Breathing heavily, Julie asked:

Do you know him?

In a sense, yes. - Tamara looked at the retreating figure with an amazed look. - This is the chief manager at the Guchan oil fields.

What is he doing here?

Tamara flicked her lighter.

As I already said, he is most likely on vacation. They work in the desert for a month and then rest for two weeks.

I hope we never meet again,” Julie muttered.

Leaning back in her chair, the girl felt irritated trembling throughout her body. No, it’s not because the man snatched the glass from her hands. There's something different here. Strange, but she was offended that in his gaze brown eyes there was nothing but cold contempt. Although they were revealed to have worked together, Julie decided to avoid meeting Clay Whitman in the future. In any case, he works in the oil fields and she works in an office in Tripoli, so maybe they won't cross paths.

The days flew by in the oil company office. Julie, who was sitting with the other secretaries in long room with cream walls, tried to do her job conscientiously. And although she was not as experienced as some of the girls, the secretarial courses she attended last school year, did their job.

One morning, while most of the other girls were running errands for the boss, Julie sat at her desk typing. business letters. Despite the air conditioning being on, the air was hot and humid. Having done half the work, Julie decided to take a break and went to the far end of the room to drink water. Mrs. Bannerman, a plump little woman whose husband worked in one of the oil fields, raised her head with a smile.

Julie nodded and placed a plastic cup under the tap.

I just imagined how I would swim in the pool, and then lie in a chair, sipping something from a glass.

The classification of roses, at first glance, is complex and confusing. But any rose grower needs to have at least a general idea about it, because this will help avoid mistakes when purchasing seedlings. For example, when buying climbing roses, it is important to understand that they come in different varieties (Read also article ⇒). One of the groups of climbing roses - climbers - will be discussed in the article.

Group of roses "Climber": distinctive features

Climbers are plants obtained as a result of crossing various types roses and having the following characteristics:

  • powerful, well-branched bush;
  • long, fairly thick and tough shoots.

Sometimes characteristic feature Climbers are called large-flowered or a tendency to re-bloom, but within this group there are varieties that do not have these properties.

The shoots of climbers differ from the shoots of “real” climbing roses - ramblers - in that they are weakly pliable and less flexible.

They do not belong to the creeping type, but to the drooping type. Up to a certain length, the lashes of climbers grow as if they were erect and only then begin to bend under their own weight.

The rigidity of the shoots dictates certain restrictions when growing this variety of roses. They are quite difficult to cover for the winter, so rose growers need to choose climber varieties, paying attention to the recommended USDA frost hardiness zone.Tip #1. Climber seedlings are marked on the packaging with the abbreviation LFC (Large-Flowered Climber). This icon will help distinguish them from ramblers that have the markingR (

Rambler).

Examples of rose varieties from the Climber group Climbers include the popular lilac rose Indigoletta , famous not only unusual coloring , but also a surprisingly strong aroma. The famous “rose of the world” also belongs to this group.New Dawn

, which feels quite confident even in frost resistance zone IV.

The popularity of climbers forces breeders to annually develop new varieties of these roses. It is almost impossible to single out the best among them - it all depends on the individual tastes of the grower and the conditions on the site.

Monitoring feedback from rose growers allows us to highlight strong and weak sides different varieties climbers:


“Alibaba’s growth energy is very powerful! Flowering is abundant, the bush independently clears itself of faded flowers. The aroma is strong. My bush is 2 years old and has never been sick. Now it is already 150-160 cm in height, about 1 m in diameter. I have not started shaping yet. Survived the winter well; in the spring I cut off only the tops of the longest shoots by 10-15 cm.”(Olga, Moscow).

“Patty Lane was great for hot climates. It sits in the hellish sun all day, and the flowers practically do not fade, only brighten a little. In cool weather, the shade is pinkish-creamy in the center and milky around the edges. The flowers do not become smaller by autumn. Very delicate fruity aroma. The break in flowering is minimal. The bush itself is very healthy and has not suffered from any disease. The thrips did a little damage, but without much damage, and spider mite I avoided it even in the heat. I try to feed well, so I don’t see any problems with growth. But the vines are very prickly and tough, so you need to keep them in a climbing form until the shoots are ripe. Then all that remains is to cut – you won’t bend it.”(Natalia, Crimea).

“Don Juan is handsome! Large, magnificent flowers that do not respond to rain at all. True, in the second season after planting I had to tinker and treat the rust and tear off the leaves. But the bush recovered well, and even continued to bloom, despite the fungus. It always winters well. Yes, styling is not easy, you have to work hard, but this rose is worth it!”(Galina, Moscow region)

“Dukat (aka Lancelot) never ceases to amaze! It blooms first of all roses - at the end of May, blooms in two abundant waves, and in between - single large clusters in different parts bush. It turns out practically continuous flowering. The color of the flower is very optimistic, bright, on some flowers I notice a slight pinkish blush. The flowers do not suffer from rain and do not fade in the sun. The bush does not suffer from anything and overwinters well under minimal spunbond cover, although it is stated by the manufacturerZone VI, and I have a site in the Moscow region"(Olga, Zhukovsky).

From the comments of rose growers, you can see that growing climbers is possible in most parts of the world. middle zone Russia.

They feel especially good in the southern regions. The most important thing is to carefully choose varieties.


The unruliness of the rigid shoots of climbers is due to the peculiarity of their formation. Sometimes it is possible to forcibly twist young shoots around a pole. And yet, these roses will not curl along an arch like ramblers, so their lashes are often passed through the “windows” of lattice supports.

In addition to the garter, climbers require the following usual care measures:

  • Compliance with the irrigation regime. It is impossible to over-moisten or over-dry the soil. Better organize for these bushes drip irrigation(Read also article ⇒).
  • Compliance with lighting conditions. In the shade, climbers grow worse and bloom weakly, and are more often affected by fungal infections. You need to choose a site for planting that is sunny and warm.
  • Compliance with the feeding regime. Like all roses, climbers prefer a loose, high-humus substrate, so you can add humus and compost to them in the spring - 2 buckets per bush. Plants will respond to phosphorus fertilizing abundant flowering, for potash - increased resistance to diseases and pests, accelerated ripening of shoots.
  • Proper pruning. Climbers do not need heavy pruning. Scourges aged 1-3 years are preserved as much as possible, older ones are removed under the base. However, this variety of roses tolerates even severe pruning after frosting, easily restoring the vegetative mass.

Winter shelter is organized when there is a threat of severe winter or if the frost resistance zone does not correspond to the recommended one.

In other cases, high mulching with peat, sawdust or leaves is enough for climbers.

Tip #2. Roses from the climber group can be grown in the form of a large scrub - a spreading bush. At the same time, they will not require support - only trimming to maintain their shape.

Current questions about growing climbers

Question No. 1. Can a climber rose be used to decorate the wall of a house?
