Rosa 'Swan Lake'

🤍🤍

Recovered this year

... although it produced this new branch. I didn't know it was a mistake to prune climbing rose but it got tangled into the vine too much it was impossible to cut only the vine. So I'm not pruning it anymore besides some minor corrections.

...2 lateral branches... maybe it dislikes to be tied like this?....

This was such a glorious rose before I cut it this short (at waist length) last year, poor thing. I'm contemplating purchasing 2 more of the same ones now (cutlings didn't work last year) and create large triangle as they propose on gardenia.net

26.4.2022. The best picture I've found: I tried to train it in order to encourage lateral shoots, but it later didn't work out, as if this is not that kind of rose. It stayed undeveloped, branches thin, leaves small. Practically invisible. It was so much stronger last year Next year I'll fertilize more often and mulch much more and not mix with vine that took the light away. Maybe to purchase 2 more roses of the same kind to make more dense appearance? I tried with cutlings but nothing happened.

A single flower 🤍

Nije se nikad oporavila od rezidbe prilikom radikalnog rezanja loze lani. Ove godine privezala da tobože potakne rast bočnih izdanaka ali nije funkcioniralo, to nije takva ruža. Ima sada sasvim tanke grančice i sitno lišće, i bilo je svega par cvjetića. Potrebna je puno veća njega, a i premalo je tamo sunca.

This didn't work (not really visible on the photo): top right rose and bottom left clematis never reached each other. Clematis stays small each year and besides, they flower at different times anyway.

Starting to train it, it has 2 branches on the left and 1 on the right so that is how I turned them. So much better than last year when I cut it too much, so I didn't cut at all this year.

I let the shoots grow up high since it is where the sun is. Leaving long bare neck but I don't mind since this rose is in the very background.

You vould also put something underneath this to sort of hide the bare stems

Yes, thank you, that's the plan. It is in the very background so everything else will come in front. I purchased a white astilbe and some hostas. Also I have passiflora that is still in pot, but I'm unsure whether that spot is too dark?

Teeny tiny #first-bloom, what had happened to the May - "month of roses"? Trunk remained bare, all side shoots died, and leaves on this top shoot are alive but eaten - this year all roses are practicaly barely alive. I'm so sad I was ill when they needed my attention the most. #advice pls

White rose cutling finally planted

Didn't survive

After early spring pruning... I hope it recovers! I feel winter pruning is better.

Bijela ruža Schwanensee

Ruže penjačice trebaju potporanj za rast. Prema vrsti potpornja (mreža, stup, pergola) prilagođavamo i rezidbu. Posao se svodi na to da ostavljamo jače grane i vežemo ih na potporanj. Prije toga ih prikraćujemo za jednu trećinu kako grm ne bismo preopteretili u rastu i razvoju. Bočne grane na ostavljenim izbojima kod penjačica prikraćujemo na 10-15 cm. Kod formiranja grma penjačica dobro je izbojke što više vodoravno savijati (ovisno o vrsti potpornja) kako bi grm što prije ispunio prostor.

Kod uspravnog položaja grana često nam grm ostane gol čak i metar od zemlje. Zato trebamo ostavljati sve mlade izbojke koji tjeraju iz cijepljenog mjesta. Neki vrtlari smatraju da penjačice uopće ne treba rezati osim rezanja suhih grana. Time se s vremenom dobivaju ogromni grmovi. Smatramo da penjačice prvih nekoliko godina ipak treba rezati kako bismo formirali grm po želji.

Sadly didn't have a chance to plant these cutlings.

na ovu ružu lako utječe crna pjegavost, s tim u vezi potrebno je redovito preventivno prskanje grmlja protugljivičnim lijekovima (na primjer, Topaz, Fitosporin, Fundazol itd.). Source: https://naturelux.womanexpertus.com/hr/roza/roza-svan-lejk-swan-lake.html
