Laura is not only a beautiful feminine name, but a sweet and juicy grape variety. This is the cross name of the plant is known to most amateur winegrowers. But since 2011, the Laura grape was officially renamed to Flora and under this name was recorded in the State Register. This article provides a description of a grape bush that was ranked in the top five from 2010 to 2013.

Characteristics of the variety

Researchers from the Odessa National Institute of Viticulture and Winemaking named after N.I. V.E. Tairova. This real miracle of nature was created by crossing several varieties. Ripening begins at the end of May, and the first fruits can be seen as early as mid-August. Within 115 days, the grapes are fully ripe. This variety belongs to one of the earliest, tasty and transportable varieties.

A powerful trunk is inherent in the bushes. The fruitfulness of the shoots ranges from 60-80%. A ripe bunch is characterized by a conical shape, medium-dense structure, and its weight can be 600-800 g. If favorable weather and good care contribute to its growth, then some brushes can reach 1.3-2 kg.

Large fruits of Laura grapes have a beautiful salad-white color, and their weight reaches 6-9 grams. Laura, like a real woman, loves to bask in the sun. Sometimes traces of sunburn can be seen on berries that shimmer in the sun. The bunches do not have small berries, which is why this variety can boast of an excellent presentation. The berries are characterized by a dense crunchy core, inside there are large seeds that are easy to separate from the pulp. At the same time, it tolerates frost well. It can withstand up to -21-23 degrees.

Laura grape variety has a wonderful appearance and unique taste. Delicate sweetish taste has medium acidity.

The Laura grape has a high yield, but it should be rationed, it does not like overloading. If proper care is followed, then its bunches can reach from one to three kilograms. This variety is not characterized by cracking, and it is also almost not affected by wasps. Another difference between Laura and other grape varieties is the ability to maintain its unique taste and tanned appearance even in autumn.

The Laura variety is not very whimsical to growing conditions, as well as to care. He is characterized by high resistance to mildew and similar diseases, in addition, as mentioned above, he is able to tolerate frost at -23 degrees.
