Reviews of rose growers about the Charming Piano variety

Despite the fact that the Charming Piano variety is only a few years old, Russian rose growers have already managed to test it on their plots and get their own idea of ​​​​the capabilities of this rose:

“Nice peony rose. I have an original seedling from Tantau, it was planted in the ground in mid-May. It showed itself in the first year, producing three waves of flowering during the season. In each wave, first-year students gave out 3 flowers. The flowers are soft pink, harmonious, withstood prolonged rain and hail, and stayed on the bush for a week. The bush did not hurt in any way, it grew normally. Problem-free rose, satisfied with the variety"(Tatiana, Moscow region).

“Charming Piano has been with me for three years. I still can’t figure out whether I like it or not, it’s a very controversial variety. The rose is in good health, does not suffer from anything (with preventative care, of course), has grown well (110 cm), and has decent foliage. Gives two waves clearly. It overwinters normally, under shields and spunbond. But flowers are good only in buds or half-opening. When fully dissolved, they look sloppy and faded. The aroma is very weak, does not at all resemble a nostalgic rose. I keep it out of pity, but I wouldn’t buy it a second time.”(Love, Smolensk).

“My Charming Piano is one year old. It’s too early to draw conclusions, but so far the impression of the variety is average. The bush is growing normally, the foliage is shiny, healthy, and has not picked up any diseases. It flourished in two waves. The flowers last a long time and do not burn. The persistent rain got a little worse. I didn’t like that, like the mother variety (Piano), the buds were reluctant to open.”(Julia, Rostov-on-Don).

"I plantedCharmingPiano this spring. The seedling grew confidently and quickly formed a neat, rounded bush just over half a meter in height. The leaves are beautiful and bright. It flourished according to the variety. It survived the rains better than some, but the outer petals were all speckled, which spoiled the impression. Covered with leaves and spunbond for the winter.”(Anna, Kaliningrad).

Expert advice on growing hybrid tea roses in a container

Along the edge of the container you can plant early spring flowers, for example, primroses or small-bulbous plants, or ampelous ones, like lobelia.”

Current questions about the Charming Piano rose

Question No. 1. What causes red “freckles” to appear on the petals of Charming Piano and how to deal with it?

Spraying with pesticides will not help here. You can only strengthen the rose’s immunity with the help of potassium and phosphorus fertilizers, stimulants such as Epin-Extra or Zircon, and also protect the rose garden from pests.

Question No. 2. How to feed Charming Piano for better flowering?

In early spring, after leaving the winter hut, you can add good compost mixed with ash (1 liter jar per bucket) or use the complete complex Fertika Lux fertilizer.

Rules for planting and caring for rose Piano

Pianos are roses, caring for them is no different from caring for others. hybrid tea beauties. The main thing is to follow all agrotechnical measures step by step, and then all efforts will certainly be crowned with success.

Soil preparation and planting

Since this species was bred in the German nursery Tantau, in fact, it can adapt well to the conditions of our latitudes, however, to achieve optimal results when growing, you need to properly prepare the soil and place the seedlings in open ground in a timely manner.

First of all, the illumination of the area plays a role: sunlight should be sufficient for the full growth and development of young seedlings. A place that is too shaded and cold is not suitable, since the rose needs at least four hours a day to be in the sun. There should be no strong winds or drafts, which can cause diseases of the bush and its poor flowering.

Before planting, the soil must be fertilized with humus, manure or compost. The width of the hole is 100 cm, the depth is 50. It is this significant size that will allow the strong root system of the shrub to take root properly in the future. The bottom of the hole should first be lined good drainage(expanded clay, small pebbles, gravel) and sprinkle with clean fine sand.

You also need to remember to place the seedlings in a root growth stimulator three or four hours before planting. The process itself is simple: the bush is carefully placed in the hole, the roots are straightened, and it is gradually covered with fertile soil. At the end of planting, abundant watering and mulching follow.

Watering and fertilizers

Rose Charming Piano and other hybrid tea species are watered after the soil begins to dry out a little. However, you should not wait until it gets very dry. It is important to develop the right system watering and do not “overwater” the flowers, as excess moisture will lead to rotting of their roots. Before watering, the soil around the plant is mulched and slightly loosened. If the seedling is young, six liters of water will be enough for it, but for a mature shrub you will already need ten liters of water, designed for one water procedure.

Feeding is usually carried out according to a simple scheme:

  • May - nitrogen is added;
  • June - phosphates and calcium;
  • September - potassium.

You should not overdo it with fertilizing, as the bush will shed its leaves and stop blooming.

Disease Prevention

Shrub Pink and other varieties of this variety need preventive treatment antifungal agents to increase disease resistance. A composition called Epin is recommended, as well as the classic copper sulfate.

To avoid the appearance of mold, after heavy rains you should immediately remove rotten and damaged buds so that the infection does not spread further.

Piano rose pests

An undoubted advantage is that the Red Piano rose is rarely affected by pests, however, if such a disaster does occur, emergency measures should be taken. Aphids are afraid of ordinary things soap solution, which is easy to prepare at home, but when the need arises for quick processing, the best helpers will be special compounds, which will destroy it after the first spraying.

The appearance of damage on the foliage indicates that it has been attacked by caterpillars or beetles. Any insecticides that can also be purchased over the counter will help here. In the same way, spider mites are destroyed, which infect the rose during the hot season (its appearance is characterized by a white coating on the foliage).

Formative pruning

The Piano rose bush (including Piano Bridal Piano) should be pruned regularly so that it always has a beautiful, well-groomed shape. Current pruning is carried out in the summer, when some shoots begin to stand out from the overall picture.

You should also promptly remove diseased and dry branches, and reduce the rest by one third. A reduction by a third is carried out in the spring, and in the summer, in addition to cosmetic measures, faded buds and those stems on which there are no buds are removed.

Organization of wintering

This variety, including tender White Rose Wedding Piano is frost-resistant, but if you have to grow it in harsh climatic conditions, a shelter must be built. When the first stable frosts begin, the bush is sprinkled sawdust at the base. The thickness of the layer should be about forty centimeters, and after sprinkling, a hut of spruce branches is built over the bush. A foam cap can be very convenient and useful: know-how in the field of shelters. Roses are often covered with film, but there is a risk that part of the plant may rot, and under the foam, according to statements experienced gardeners, this doesn't happen.

The use of rose Piano in landscape design

Bush rose Piano will create on any garden plot an atmosphere of cozy English respectability combined with the romantic spirit of antiquity. The bush is densely leafy and lush, and therefore other plant and flower crops, in harmony with the color of its huge and luxurious buds, will perfectly fit into its beauty.

Rose Spray can be planted as a single shrub, but if you skillfully organize a group planting in which other varieties of the Piano variety will participate, the picture will turn out amazing: both in the flowerbed and on both sides garden path. When planting seedlings in the shape of a small triangle, you will get original thickets that will look natural when the bushes gain strength and growth. This form of planting involves the use of related color options- for example, pinks, which Piano is especially rich in.
