Unusual variety
The "life" of the plant began in 1977. However, at the time, the cultivar was not approved by gardeners, who considered such flowers to be old-fashioned. However, years later, Rosarium Utersen nevertheless gained well-deserved popularity.
Deep pink "double" flowers are combined into large clusters. Over the course of its development, rose petals acquire a light shade of silver. The variety blooms actively, but gradually. Each cluster forms, on average, 5 - 7 flowers with a diameter of up to 0.12 meters.

In height, the bush usually reaches from 3 to 3.5 meters, and in width - 1.5. The branches of the bush are thick, covered with thin thorns and rich green leaves. The culture is not very susceptible to diseases, it tolerates frost well under a thin cover.

Preparing for landing
You need to plant the variety in an area about half a meter long. In this case, you must maintain a distance between the rose and other plants or buildings of at least 0.5 meters. The intended landing site should be well lit and ventilated. The ideal place is the hills located in the south. There the plant will be able to fully develop. The number of flowering rose bush directly depends on environmental conditions. Rosarium Utersen usually blooms most vividly in the southern territories.
Before planting, it is necessary to prepare the wells in advance. They should be at least one and a half meters deep. Pits for seedlings are filled with water and manure is placed in them (at least half a bucket). Then the seedling is placed in the hole and sprinkled with soil.
Rose care during the growing season
Active care, which includes watering, fertilizing and pruning, is necessary for flowers only in the first two years of life.
For the first time, a plant is fertilized at the time of planting. In this case, manure serves as top dressing, with which the hole is filled. This culture will be enough for the first 2 years of life. However, in addition to such organic matter, the flower also needs minerals.
A positive result will be given by feeding with special mixtures for flowers, nitrogen, peat and mineral additives. The frequency of nutrient introduction depends on the stage of the crop life cycle. For the entire growing season, top dressing is permissible no more than 5 times. At other stages, 2-3 fertilizers are sufficient.
This variety requires systematic pruning. This event will help form the crown and prevent the neglect of the bush. But pruning also has a positive effect on flowering. In addition, this event, done correctly, will give the bush a beautiful look.
It is enough to moisturize the rose only a couple of times a month. A bucket of water is enough for a medium-sized bush.
Young shoots
During the season, this variety of the queen of flowers is able to form about 3.5 meters of young shoots that require special care. In winter, they must be reliably protected from frost by covering them with a thick film.
In the spring, it is worth pruning dead organs, and then watching those branches that spread around the bush. Shoots that have reached 0.7 meters or more should be tied to wooden planks installed nearby.
If the plant blooms only once a season, the faded material should be eliminated. If there are several flowering from one shoot, such an organ must be preserved.
Winter period
Although Uthersen is a frost-hardy variety, it cannot survive without shelter in severe cold. Therefore, at the onset of the first frosts, the bush should be sprinkled with a mixture of dry soil and humus. When the frost settles, all the tied branches are removed from the supports, laid on a pillow made of spruce branches and covered with straw or other special material.
It is permissible to insulate a shrub with burlap, wrapping the trunk 0.3 - 0.4 meters in height.
So, the Rosarium Utersen variety is quite popular among gardeners today, which is explained by the ease of caring for it and the possibility of using the bush in landscape design.
