Not all plants can withstand the harsh Siberian climate. As the Siberians themselves joke: “In our area, weaklings cannot survive.” In winter, the air temperature can reach -50 degrees, and in summer +35. Sharply continental climate with late spring and short summer creates difficult conditions for flower growers. But nothing is impossible if you set a goal. There are roses that can withstand Siberian weather. These specially bred varieties are intended for northern gardeners. Let's take a closer look at them.
Which roses are the most unpretentious and winter-hardy?
When purchasing seedlings, priority should be given to plants grown in Siberian nurseries. Flower growers also distinguish Canadian varieties, which are also suitable for growing roses in northern conditions. But it’s not so easy to get them, and besides, you often come across deceivers who pass off ordinary seedlings as Canadians. A reliable, verified supplier will be able to guarantee the quality of the product, so you should not so unconditionally believe in advertisements promising to sell seedlings at incredible discounts.
As many years of observation have shown, grafted seedlings take root best in Siberia. Thanks to their high immunity, they practically do not freeze out in winter.
Amateur flower growers put this species in first place. A plant with large, dark pink flowers that fade at the ends. This rose blooms repeatedly in waves, the first time very abundantly. In a more severe climate, the flower will be smaller than in the south of Siberia, where it can reach twelve centimeters in diameter. This climbing rose has a very good immunity, it is resistant to fungal diseases. Rosarium Vetersen has powerful stems reaching three meters in height. They simply cannot be broken in strong winds or even if they are placed incorrectly. winter period. The rose bush is placed in an arch, pergola or other structure.
Westerland German
This variety is very popular and loved by Siberians.
- It blooms early and stays blooming almost until wintering.
- The German rose has a large flower (10 cm in diameter) of apricot or orange color.
- This type of plant is the most unpretentious and does not require additional care, for which it received an ADR certificate.
- If you carefully and promptly remove fading flowers, the rose bush will begin to actively grow and form many new buds.
A soft pink and very fragrant rose. Blooms almost all season and never gets sick. New Dan is of American origin and translates to "New Dawn". But the Siberians gave it their name - “Very”. Thus, they characterized the capabilities of this type of rose: very fragrant, prickly and unpretentious. When purchasing, you should be careful, as there is another variety of this variety that blooms only once at the very beginning of summer.
William Sheakespeare 2000
This rose has English origin and was bred by the famous breeder David Austin. William Shakespeare has beautiful fragrant purple-red flowers. The height of the stem is slightly more than one meter with many shoots. Thanks to his high immunity to fungal diseases and low maintenance requirements, William has become a real favorite among all gardeners in Siberia. When purchasing, you should carefully read the name of the variety; the fact is that there is also William Shakespeare without the number 2000. This ancestor of William Sheakespeare 2000 is not as frost-resistant as the modern variety, so it is better for Siberians not to take it.
Last fifth place in the ranking the best roses for Siberia, is also occupied by a product of David Austin's selection, called Golden Celebration. No wonder this variety was called Golden Holiday. Large yellow buds with the smell of caramel and lemon really create a feeling of celebration. The only disease that this plant cannot tolerate is black spot.. Austin roses are the best varieties for the Moscow region - Princess Margaret and Alexandra Kent. All these varieties tolerate cold well, but this does not mean that the bushes can be left uncovered during the winter at a winter temperature of 35 degrees.
The top rose rating for the Moscow region is Chippendale. An unpretentious species, resistant to heat and cold, is ideally suited for cultivation in a continental climate. This rose has beautiful large ones (12 cm in diameter) orange flowers with a discreet pleasant aroma. A cut stem with a flower can be stored in a vase for about two weeks. This variety is especially loved by country designers; it is good to form various design solutions. These flowers are a real boon for cottages and garden plots.
Black Magic
A variety of frost-resistant roses from German breeders. Very beautiful, frost-resistant and unpretentious roses can stand in a vase for up to three weeks. Black Magic has a dark red (black) bud color and large, very beautiful leaves. The variety was bred for commercial purposes, but all gardeners in northern countries happily grow it as a decoration for their garden.
Robusta
The frost-resistant Robusta variety is suitable for both flower growers in the Moscow region and Siberians. The peculiarity of this rose is that it able to recover even after slight freezing. The choice of shades is quite large, which allows gardeners to create various color compositions on the site.
Rugelda
The frost-resistant rose Regelda has lemon-colored flowers and double petals with light red edges. Judging by the reviews of summer residents, this park variety so frost-resistant that gardeners even don't cover it for the winter. These roses do not require special care.
Perhaps the most unpretentious bush variety for the Moscow region is Hinselend. Due to the fact that this rose lends itself well to shaping, Hansaland has become one of the favorite flowers of country designers. Lush buds of rich red color are perfect as decoration for garden plot. This plant has a height of about 1.5 meters, which makes it ideal for creating a hedge. As already mentioned, one of the ideal options for flower growers of Siberia, are Canadian varieties of roses.
Mackenzie
A tall rose bush reaching two meters with scentless pink or red flowers. This plant usually blooms all summer and quite profusely.. Mackenzie is very frost-resistant and is perfect for the Siberian climate. It doesn't have to be closed in winter.
Morden Centennial
Bright pink flowers of medium size in Centenary Morden are collected in inflorescences. The bush of the plant is usually a little more than one meter, the aroma of the flower is not expressed. This variety can withstand frosts above -30 degrees, but if the bush is covered for the winter, the rose will bloom more abundantly in summer. Judging by the reviews of flower growers, this Canadian variety is equally loved by all residents of the northern regions of Russia.
Wasagaming
Externally, this variety resembles a small tree about two meters high. Wasagaming does not need shelter for the winter. The only thing Wasagaming doesn't like is excessive humidity. Flowers planted in coastal areas are often attacked gray mold. It is propagated using shoots.
The buds are pink in color with a pleasant, slightly perceptible aroma. The petals grow burgundy, and when they grow, they acquire a deep green color. The aroma of Prairie Joy is mild and does not irritate others. The variety is valued by summer residents of Siberia due to its frost resistance. It is lightly covered for the winter with branches or film, since the cover helps to obtain more abundant flowering of the bush in the summer.
Adelaide Hoodless
This variety has advantages over others. It grows very quickly, and its flexible branches enable garden designers to create the most unimaginable solutions. Judging by the rave reviews, the unpretentious, frost-resistant variety with bright red flowers collected in inflorescences is very popular among flower growers in the Moscow region.
From my experience, we can judge that the elegant varieties of David Austin roses have a good wintering in Siberian conditions.
Austin varieties that winter safely in our garden: “Graham Thomas”, “Glamis Castle” (charming and prickly toiler - blooms continuously), “Tamora” (huge delicate flowers; winters with us, although it is recommended for the southern regions), “William Sheckspeare 2000”.

How to properly plant, cover and propagate roses of Siberia
Shrub roses care and cultivation
- Boarding time. Considering the climatic characteristics of the region, it is best to plant winter-hardy roses starting in May, waiting until the ground warms up to ten degrees Celsius. Flower growers in Siberia even found a sign: as soon as dandelions bloom, rose seedlings can be planted. The deadline for planting is the fifteenth of June. Otherwise, the rose bush will not strengthen during the short Siberian summer and will freeze in winter.
- Soil for planting. To plant winter-hardy varieties of roses you will need acidic soil With big amount humus, and loam can serve as a base. The best composition, for a rose the following: 1 part clay, 1 sand, 2 peat, 3 humus and 0.5 wood ash.
- Planting a seedling. The hole for planting must be at least 0.5 m. Before planting, the roots of pink seedlings are kept in a growth stimulator solution for three and a half hours. If the root is long, it is trimmed. In this way, the lateral roots will be stimulated. If these are tea or English varieties (William Shakespeare, for example), then the planting should be a little deeper than usual. The grafted area is deepened 8 cm to the surface of the earth. Thus, the bush becomes more resistant to wintering. It happens that a plant produces roots just above the grafting site and develops its own weak root system. Such roots should be removed immediately.
- Watering and hilling. The root should be spread along its entire length. The hole is buried and watered. If desired, you can water the plant before burying. The planting site must be hilled up, otherwise the water can evaporate. If a rose is planted in a very cold region, then it is advised to cover it with lutrasil at night, this way the bushes will be protected from night frosts.
How to properly cover roses in Siberia
Resourceful flower growers have invented several ways to protect their pets from frost. Here are some of them:
The first roses appeared on my plot about thirty years ago, what did I do with them! I covered them for the winter, arranging entire structures over them, but they constantly died, and everything started all over again. Then I got tired of it, and for some time I gave up the idea of growing roses.
Everything changed a few years ago when I found winter-hardy seedlings in one of the nurseries in Serbia. Their roses, grafted onto special rose hips, tolerate Siberian frosts well.
Of course, roses take cuttings well. You can always remove the cutting and plant it in the ground. In a week it will give roots, and exactly the same bush will grow next to you. But at the same time, it is important to remember that a rooted rose, no matter how you cover it, will not withstand Siberian frosts. And roses that grow on their own roots must be dug up and taken to the basement for the winter. To avoid unnecessary waste of energy and time, I buy 2-3-year-old seedlings grafted onto a winter-hardy rootstock.
At the beginning of May, when warm weather has already set in and the ground has warmed up by ten centimeters, the winter shelter is removed. It is best to do this in calm, cloudy weather (to avoid drying out the roots of the rose). First, the film is removed, and the material with which the bushes are covered is left. Later, after about a week, they remove it too. The bushes are treated with a copper solution and pruning begins.
Pruning of rose bushes in Siberia is carried out in a more gentle way than in the southern regions, otherwise the plant may die. Trim to healthy wood with a healthy bud.
Next, the Siberian rose should be fed with humus and ammonium nitrate. Make the following mixture: 5 kg of humus, 0.02 kg of saltpeter, 0.05 kg of superphosphate and the same amount of potassium salt. The mixture is placed under the bush by loosening the soil.
Wild growth that forms after the plant awakens should be removed.
Breeding and growing roses in Siberia
Park and miniature roses are grown by dividing the bush. Roses that easily form shoots are propagated root shoots, as well as rooted ones. Climbing and ground cover roses reproduce layering method. That is, along the entire length of annual shoots above the bud, the bark is cut and placed in grooves. During the summer, shoots sprout from these buds. The most popular method of propagating roses is cuttings. It should be noted that hybrid tea roses, unlike others, do not tolerate this method well. Self-rooted roses are bred only on their roots.
Spring and summer are the period when summer residents understand that all their efforts have been rewarded, and grateful plants will bestow a delicate aroma and abundant flowering for many months to come.
With the advent of hardy and frost-resistant varieties, growing roses became available in the gardens of Siberia. Here, the regional climate is somewhat harsh for the crop, so gardeners are required to have good knowledge and adherence to agricultural technology, careful selection of winter-hardy varieties and shelter for the winter.
This review presents the hardiest, frost-resistant varieties adapted to the climatic and soil conditions of Siberia. These plants are characterized by strong immunity to major diseases and pests., do not lose their decorative properties during heavy rainfall.
Chippendale ( Chippendale)
A plant that forms a bush 80-120 cm high and 100 cm wide. Double flowers in old style, bright orange with a diameter of 10-12 cm. Recommended for planting in massive flower beds, as an accent in the background.

The variety is rightfully considered the best among red roses. The plant forms a lush bush 100-120 cm high and 100 cm wide. It is distinguished by the rapid flowering of new shoots and the formation of large clusters that stay on the bush for more than 2 weeks. The flowers are densely double, bright purple in color, more than 10 cm in diameter with a characteristic aroma. Suitable for single and group plantings.

Plants of these varieties are distinguished by repeated or continuous flowering throughout the season. In rare cases, shrubs can be seen without a single flower. But even at this time the bushes do not lose their decorative properties. Bright green glossy leaves, beautiful shoots and thorns are attractive in their own way.
What roses should you choose for Siberia?
Features of the climate of Siberia - late spring, a small number of warm days, harsh winters, severe Siberian frosts. Only plants zoned in the regional climate can withstand such conditions. That's why The first rule for gardeners is to purchase seedlings from local nurseries.
Roses grafted onto rose hips take root much easier and are distinguished by their hardiness. It is distinguished by strong immunity to diseases, the ability to adapt to any conditions and quickly recover from damage from cold weather.
The scion should also have a good characteristic. The best indicators in all respects are shown by varieties of Canadian selection, derived taking into account the climate of this country, similar to the conditions of Siberia. Roses for planting in Siberia must have high levels of frost resistance, resistance to diseases and pests.
Winter hardiness depends not only on the characteristics of the plant, but also on the efforts of the gardener - proper care during the season, regular feeding with minerals, proper preparation for winter.
Features of planting roses
Since spring is late in Siberia, the soil often does not have time to warm up to a temperature comfortable for the roots, it is recommended to plant them on the south side of the site. To prevent the buds from burning out, it is advisable for the plants to be in the shade during the hours when the sun is most active.
The climate of Siberia is characterized by cold northern and western winds. Therefore, the rose garden must have protection from these directions. These can be the walls of buildings, plants with a dense crown, gazebos or hedge. To prevent the wind barrier from greatly shading the roses, they are planted at some distance.
If possible, select elevated areas for the rose garden.. In such places the soil does not have time to freeze until critical temperatures and thaws quickly. This means that the roots will develop faster in the spring and are less at risk of rotting due to excessive moisture.
In Siberia, it is recommended to plant roses in the spring. Event are planned in the period from May 15 to June 15. In this case, the air temperature should not be lower than +10°C. Shoots of plants planted later than this date do not have time to ripen, which causes death in the first winter season.
Otherwise, planting roses in Siberia differs little from warmer regions. In a pre-dug area for plants, a planting hole (50x50x50x) is formed and the substrate is prepared. To do this, mix the components on a piece of film:
- humus 3 parts;
- peat 2 parts;
- weathered clay 1 part;
- river sand 1 part;
- wood ash 400 g.
The minerals superphosphate 300 g and potassium sulfate 30 g are added to the soil mixture.
The roots of the seedling, longer than 20 cm, are cut and immersed in a growth stimulator for 3-4 hours. The rose is planted with the grafting site deepened: for climbing roses by 10 cm, and for bush roses by 7 cm.
During planting, a hill is formed at the bottom of the hole, on which the seedling is placed and the roots are straightened. After powdering the roots and compacting the trunk circle, water 10 liters warm water . After this, the bush is hilled to a height of 10-15 cm, the soil under the bush is mulched with peat or humus. For the first time after planting, seedlings should be protected from direct sunlight.
Basics of caring for Siberian roses
The roots of roses penetrate quite deeply. Therefore, plants do not need frequent watering.It is enough to carry it out once every 3-5 days, depending on the weather.. In this case, the earthen lump should be completely wetted; the norm is determined by the size of the bush from 10 to 20 liters.
In the first year after planting, the plants do not need fertilizing. In subsequent seasons, it is important to feed roses regularly.:
- in early spring: aqueous solution of ammonium nitrate (20 g/10 l);
- in 15 days re-fertilize with ammonium nitrate, watering with mullein infusion (1: 10) 4 liters for each bush;
- at the beginning of budding calcium nitrate solution (1 tbsp/10 l);
- a week after that are useful foliar feeding : solutions of double superphosphate, potassium nitrate, infusions of mullein or ash, macroelements of your choice;
- before flowering solutions of potassium magnesia or potassium humate;
- after flowering and sanitary pruning mineral complexes with an increased content of potassium and phosphorus (1 tbsp/10 l);
- at the beginning of August organic solution, after 2 weeks with potassium-phosphorus complexes, and after another week with potassium sulfate.
- in September potassium magnesia.
In August, the application of nitrogen fertilizers is completely stopped.
The rest is seasonal care consists of regular weeding and loosening of the tree trunk, shaping and sanitary pruning. To prevent diseases in spring and autumn, bushes are sprayed with fungicidal solutions.
To stimulate the ripening of shoots, watering is stopped in August. In the third ten days of September, during dry weather, moisture-recharging irrigation is carried out. The water requirement for one bush is 40-50 l. Soil moistened in deep layers freezes and thaws more slowly and retains heat longer.
During this period, loosening of the tree trunk circle and formative pruning are stopped. This is necessary to prevent the growth of new shoots.
Before sheltering, all leaves and petioles of plants are removed, unripe shoots are cut off.
Before cold weather sets below 0°C, rose shoots are tied with twine and bent to the ground. It is important to avoid contact of the branches with the soil, which leads to rotting of the stems, so they are secured with a wire hook.
Wooden shields are installed on top of the prepared bush in the form of a roof, securing them with pegs. The ends should be closed only after the temperature has reached below -7°C. Thick polyethylene film is laid on top of the shelter and fixed.
The main cause of damage to roses in winter is exposure to moisture on the plant. Therefore, measures to cover roses are carried out only in dry weather, and in winter they prevent humidification of the air inside the shields. To do this, during prolonged thaws, the ends of the shelter need to be opened slightly.
Despite the whimsical nature of plants, gardeners admit that Cultivating roses in Siberia allows you to create a special atmosphere in your garden plot. Only the first 2 years are considered particularly difficult. As they grow older, roses that receive proper care become much hardier and do not require close attention.

Siberians joke that weaklings cannot survive their harsh winters. A persistent character is needed, not only for people, but also for plants. So the criteria for selecting colors for site design in Siberian conditions are much more severe than for the Moscow region or the southern regions of the country. And yet, residents of cold regions successfully grow even beautiful prickly roses. They have developed many interesting ways to cover plants and planting tricks to protect the root system during harsh winters. We looked through the forums of Siberian gardeners and chose the most important information about frost-resistant varieties, winter shelter technology, and what features of planting roses in spring in Siberia.
The Siberian climate, as is known, is characterized by late spring, short summer and harsh winters. To withstand such conditions, plants must initially be zoned to the local climate. Those. In terms of survival rate, seedlings grown in Siberian nurseries are in the lead. Gardeners give second place to Canadian roses, because the climate of this country is similar to Siberian. But real Canadian roses, unfortunately, are rare. This category of plants is too attractive for buyers, so it is most often counterfeited. It is better to purchase Canadian varieties only from a reliable supplier, and, naturally, not directly or on the market.
The second selection criterion is vaccination. According to statistics, grafted varieties of roses in Siberia withstand winters much easier and do not freeze out, because they have higher immunity. The rootstock for a varietal rose is usually a rose hip, and it has the immune system much hardier than the rose's own roots.
Here is what, according to Siberian gardeners, the five most unpretentious and winter-hardy varieties of roses look like:
First place: Rosarium Uetersen
Belongs to the Climber group, i.e. large-flowered climbing roses. Can also be grown as a standard. Blooms with dark pink petals that gradually fade. The flower size can reach 12 cm, but the colder the climate, the smaller the inflorescences will be. The approximate size of flowers for Novosibirsk is 5-6 cm. Rosarium Uetersen is loved for its resistance to fungal infections, repeated flowering (the first is the most abundant, and then in waves). Powerful stems are not afraid of frost or wind. Gardeners can ruin this rose only if it is improperly laid out for the winter, when the stems break due to an unsuccessfully chosen direction of laying. The bush grows up to 3 meters.
Rosarium Wetersen fits perfectly into arches, pergolas and other supporting structures, and if desired, it can be grown as a standard
Second place: Westerland
A German variety, adored in Siberia for its continuous flowering. This rose wakes up and blooms very early, and then practically remains without flowers. The flowers change color from bright orange to apricot-salmon. In diameter - up to 10 cm. Has an ADR certificate as one of the most unpretentious roses.
Timely removal of fading flowers from the Westerland climbing rose stimulates the bush to active growth and the formation of new flower buds
Third place: New Dawn
Descendant of American roses. Blooms soft pink fragrant flowers almost the entire season. The gardeners of Siberia gave her the nickname “Very”, i.e. very frost-resistant, very unpretentious (grows everywhere), very prickly, very aromatic, etc. The only nuance: in Lately New Dawn specimens have appeared that bloom only once. Therefore, before ordering, check the number of blooms, otherwise you may see this beauty only once, at the beginning of summer.
Siberians believe that New Down lives under the motto “Everyone will disappear, but I will remain,” because it survives in the most inhuman conditions
Fourth place: William Sheakespeare 2000
A English rose of a new generation, cultivated by the world famous breeder David Austin. It blooms with velvety rich red flowers, gradually turning into a purple hue. Fragrant, medium height (up to 110 cm), forms many flowering clusters on each branch. When purchasing, pay attention to the presence of the number 2000, since there is also an ancestor of this rose - William Sheakespeare, which does not have such a high immunity to fungal infections.
William Shakespeare 2000 is the result of selection of the English “ancestor” of the same name, which is characterized by high immunity to diseases and excellent frost resistance
Fifth place: Golden Celebration
Another David Austin pet. Blooms twice, bright yellow large flowers, similar to balls, emitting a lemon-caramel aroma. In cold climates it grows up to one and a half meters tall. Practically not susceptible to diseases, except black spotting. Looks great in mixborders.
Sunny, large inflorescences of Golden Celebration smell like lemon candy, so they are planted near recreation areas to enjoy the wonderful aroma
Choosing a location: looking for the sunny side
Due to the fact that spring comes late in Siberia, and sunny days There are not very many roses a year; they try to plant roses on the south side. But a completely open area is not very profitable, since the flowering period is significantly accelerated, and the flowers fade in the heat. It is best to consider light partial shade with the help of sparsely leafed shrubs or trees. Roses are planted near them in such a way that during the hottest time of the day they are protected by the foliage of the “neighbors”.
Planting rules: light soil + depth
Desirable for the Siberian climate spring planting, and their period is much shorter than in other areas. The planting season begins in May, when the soil warms up to 10 degrees. Gardeners determine optimal time for dandelions: as soon as they bloom, it’s time to plant rose bushes. Grafted seedlings are planted first, because rose hips are not afraid of sudden late frosts. Own root roses - no earlier than May 15th. The maximum planting date is June 15. If you are late, the rose will not have time to grow stronger during the short summer and will go into the winter without a lignified trunk. This means it will freeze easily.
When planted in depth, a rose can send out roots above the grafting site, developing its own root system, which is weaker than that of a rose hip, so “wrong” roots must be removed
When planting, the roots of the rose are straightened so that they go only from top to bottom, and are not wrapped in a ring. A planting mound can help with this arrangement: a mound of fertile soil is poured onto the bottom of the hole, a seedling is placed on top of it, the roots are straightened along the mound and sprinkled. When planting a mound, water after the rose is planted. During normal planting, you can first shed the roots and then cover them with soil.
After planting, be sure to hill the bush to a height of 15 cm. This is necessary so that the water does not quickly evaporate. The soil will also protect the tender branches from the scorching sun, because once they take root they dry out very quickly. In the northernmost regions, plantings are covered with lutrasil to protect them from night frosts.
Siberian methods of covering such roses
So that growing roses in Siberia does not end with the bushes freezing in the first winter, gardeners have come up with a lot of ideas different options shelters. Their similarity is that for roses in cold climates it is necessary to create a dry shelter, i.e. Protect each seedling from above with waterproof material. It will protect the plant from moisture, which instantly turns into ice.
Shelter options:
- "Snow Blanket". If your area has consistently snowy winters, then throwing snow on each bush is the most the best option shelters. After all, in Siberia, snow falls and remains there until spring, so the temperature underneath is always stable.
- "Framework made of plastic arcs." They make a frame from two intersecting arcs, place it over the rose, cover the bush halfway with dry soil or leaves, cover it with a double layer of spunbond or lutrasil, on top of which they must spread a film so that it captures part of the soil. Sprinkle the edges of the film with earth. Before the onset of stable frost, the film should be slightly open so that the stems do not dry out.
- "House made of polycarbonate." Instead of plastic arcs, place two pieces of polycarbonate above the rose, fastened at the top with twine. It turns out to be a house. Cover the top with lutrasil and film. But at the ends the film is closed only after the onset of frost.
- "From plastic buckets." Each bush is hilled to a height of 20 cm, covered with spruce paws and covered on top plastic containers no holes.
This is roughly what it all looks like:
You cannot cover roses with lutrasil alone without using film, since during a thaw moisture accumulates inside, and during the first frost it will settle as ice on the plants
With any type of shelter in early spring, many Siberians repeatedly spill the soil with epin in order to revive their pets. Grateful roses give their owners abundant and fragrant blooms, although nature has given them very little time for this.
Roses can be grown just as successfully in harsh climates as in less cold regions. Very great importance for flower growers in this case it has resistance to cold, therefore the basis for breeding frost-resistant varieties of roses for Siberia are Canadian and some hybrid varieties of ostina. In regional nurseries, these flowers are hardened, and are most recommended for cultivation by local summer residents and gardeners.
It is noteworthy that the catalog of varieties of roses and Siberia offers almost identical flowers. In rare cases, cold-resistant species, for some reason, do not take root in the flowerbeds of these areas.
The best varieties of roses for Siberia:
- Ashram. One of the most popular varieties. They love him for his unique appearance
- . It belongs to the group of hybrid teas. Large, 11-centimeter flowers grow on powerful stems, the height of which does not exceed 1.2 m. They have a special, rich orange or copper-brown color. The aroma emanating from the flowers is reminiscent of assorted fruits and vanilla. These are scrub roses that occupy a special place in the hearts of Novosibirsk flower growers. Their large, double, fragrant flowers have a complex structure. Primary colors: orange, peach or dark orange. Bouquets of Siberian bush roses of the Chippendale variety look beautiful. They are often planted in, combined with other flowers.
- Rosarium Uetersen. Belongs to the category of climbing roses (winter-hardy varieties) for Siberia. Many summer residents prefer these colors. The continuity of their flowering will delight the gardener throughout the season. It can overwinter without shelter for the winter, although in some harsh regions it is recommended to provide shelter. It recovers very quickly in the spring. The average diameter of dark pink flowers is 4-6 cm. The shoots are very powerful and can reach up to 3 m in length. In this case, the bush requires gartering with special structures.
- Double Delight. The characteristic name indicates that the flower is unusual. That’s how it is – it combines two colors. The base of the bud is bright cream, and the edges of the petals are red. The aroma of this variety of hybrid tea roses for Siberia is very reminiscent of the taste of raspberries or strawberries. Shoots are very easy to create the desired shape bush. Stems and root system strong, straight.
- Golden Celebration. This is the best variety of park roses for Siberia. It tolerates cold well and is suitable for cultivation. This hybrid from the nursery of David Austin (a famous English breeder) blooms twice a year with bright yellow buds. Golden Celebration belongs to the category of the most fragrant roses for Siberia. Its lemon-caramel smell spreads over several tens of meters.
What varieties of roses are suitable for Siberia, besides those listed above? The most popular flowers are also:
What varieties of roses are best suited for Siberia?
In the vastness of Siberia, many summer residents and flower growers are breeding and hardening many popular varieties. The peculiarity of this work is that over time the flowers completely adapt to the climate of the region in which the mini nursery is located. It is these gardeners who can give a clear answer to the question of what varieties of roses are best to plant in Siberia?
One of the most famous is the home rose garden of Lyubov Bezrodnova. During her breeding journey, this woman adapted many varieties of the Queen of Flowers to the Siberian climate. Most of her time she was engaged in breeding and hardening park roses, but the assortment includes many floribundas, hybrid teas. Mrs. Bezrodnova successfully manages to work on imported plant species, completely adapting them to the Siberian cold.
In her opinion, it is necessary to carefully select roses for Siberia. The best varieties end up in the flower beds of most private households. Thanks to Lyubov Bezrodnova’s method, many summer residents can choose suitable plant species without much difficulty.
Winter-hardy varieties of climbing roses for Siberia.
Roses are valued for the beauty of their bright and lush inflorescences. Red petals always effectively set off the greenery in a flower garden or lawn. Among the many groups, varieties and types of roses, it can be difficult to choose the beauty that will decorate a flower garden, mixborder, or play solo in a garden design.
Types and groups of roses
According to botanical groups, the following gradations of roses can be found in the literature:
- low-growing roses (miniature roses, Patio roses, ground cover roses);
- bush roses, or hybrid tea roses;
- floribunda roses;
- tall or climbing roses (with virtually no restrictions on growth, shoots can reach a length of 1.5 to 3 m, this depends on the growth vigor of a particular variety and the age of the plant).
Any classification of roses is quite complex and at the same time arbitrary. Even varieties included in the same group can differ greatly in their characteristics.
climbing roses
You can come across the term curly in relation to the group. This is not entirely true, because... Loaches themselves actively crawl along the support - roses do not have this. There are long shoots that can lie on a support. If climbing rose begins to bend in the shape of a fishing rod, you need to provide a support for it, just like for tall tomatoes. The plant is tied to a rod - metal, wooden, decorative, bamboo - so that it feels comfortable and does not fall or sway in the wind.
Even in Siberia, many gardeners are tempted to place climbing roses in their garden and use them in the design as a support next to the thuja. When placing roses, you need to make sure that other plants do not shade them. For a climbing rose, it is better to use support on open place. The support can be decorative in the form of a lattice or pergola. For a climbing rose, the plant should be illuminated from all sides evenly and as much as possible.

Floribunda roses
There is a fairly large group of floribundas. These are multi-flowered varieties: when they form 2-3 flowers or more on one shoot. Sometimes it looks like a cloud of small flowers. Flowers can have different shapes and colors.
Floribunda is a group derived from hybrid tea roses and has many similar characteristics with them. Some varieties are fragrant, others are without aroma. They are united by the beauty and originality of flowers.
Floribunda rose varieties
Low-growing floribunda roses include varieties Tamango , Solero , ground cover rose Gartenfreude . These varieties bloom very profusely and have bright greenery. But for them you will need to find appropriate place so that the 35-50 cm tall plant does not get lost in the massive greenery and colors. It is better to place them as a border along the path on the lawn where other plants will not compete with them and shade them.

- ground cover roses (grow almost horizontally to the ground, form a flat cake on the ground, a spread out bush).

In miniature ones, on a single shoot the flowers form in the form of a ball, and on the bush, like on a Christmas tree, many small flowers open. They are small, can be terry or non-double. Here the main effect comes from mass participation. Blooming at the same time, such roses create a spectacular bright spot.
