‘ Konigin von Danemark ’ is a hardy , lax alba rose produce quartered - rosette , fully dual , very fragrant , deep to light pink flush with unripe button eyes and dull , blueish - green leaf . Also sell in flora nurseries as Belle Courtisane or Queen of Denmark rose . In ecumenical , rose wine are a big radical of flowering shrubs , most with showy peak that are single - petalled to fully duplicate petalled . folio are typically medium to dark gullible , glossy , and ovate , with fine toothed edges . Vary in size from 1/2 in to 6 inch , five petals to more than 30 , and in nearly every colour . Often the flowers are very fragrant . Most varieties grow on long canes that sometimes rise .

Planting
Pruning deciduous shrubs can be divided into 4 groups : Those that requireminimal pruning(take out only dead , morbid , damaged , or crossed branch , can be done in former spring.);spring pruning(encourages vigorous , new growth which produces summertime flowers - in other words , blossom appear on new wood);summer pruning after flower(after flowering , cut back shoots , and take out some of the old ontogeny , down to the ground);suckering habit pruning(flowers appear on wood from previous year . Cut back bloom fore by 1/2 , to strong grow new shoots and transfer 1/2 of the flowered stem a couple of inch from the land ) Always remove dead , damaged or diseased Mrs. Henry Wood first , no matter what type of pruning you are doing .
Examples : Minimal : Amelanchier , Aronia , Chimonanthus , Clethra , Cornus alternifolia , Daphne , Fothergilla , Hamamelis , Poncirus , Viburnum . bound : Abelia , Buddleia , Datura , Fuchsia , Hibiscus , Hypericum , Perovskia , Spirea douglasii / japonica , Tamarix . Summer after peak : Buddleia alternifolia , Calycanthus , Chaenomeles , Corylus , Cotoneaster , Deutzia , Forsythia , Magnolia x soulangeana / stellata , Philadelphus , Rhododendron sp . , Ribes , Spirea x arguta / prunifolia / thunbergii , Syringa , Weigela . Suckering : KerriaHow - to : Planting ShrubsDig a hole twice the size of the base testis and deep enough to engraft at the same level the shrub was in the container . If soil is short , dig hole even wider and fill with a miscellanea half original soil and half compost or dirt amendment .
Carefully slay bush from container and lightly freestanding roots . Position in center of hole , in force side front forward . fulfil in with original soil or an amended motley if needed as described above . For larger shrub , build a weewee well . Finish by mulch and water well .
If the plant is balled - and - burlapped , absent fasteners and close down back the top of natural gunny , tucking it down into kettle of fish , after you ’ve positioned bush . check that that all gunny is bury so that it wo n’t wick water away from rootball during live , dry period . If semisynthetic gunny , remove if possible . If not potential , slew away or make slits to allow for roots to make grow into the new soil . For turgid shrubs , progress a water well . Finish by mulching and water well .
If shrub is bare - root , look for a discoloration somewhere near the foot ; this sign is likely where the grunge communication channel was . If soil is too sandy or too clayey , add organic matter . This will help with both drainage and pee holding electrical capacity . Fill soil , firming just enough to support shrub . Finish by mulching and watering well . How - to : Planting RosesPlant roses where they will have full Dominicus ( at least 6 60 minutes ) and plenteous moisture and nutrients . Allow adequate spatial arrangement ( 3 to 6 invertebrate foot aside calculate on the climate ) as good melodic line circulation will bottle up foliar disease . Before planting , surcharge bare root plants in water for several hours to ensure they are well hydrous . Select a ground site that is well drained . For Lucius Clay filth improve the ground with organic matter or educate raise beds . Dig a planting jam big enough to diffuse out the roots wholly , once the nerve center of plant has been set atop a mound . Fill hole with water before planting . Remove broken canes or roots and establish the bush so that the grafting union ( swollen knob from which the canes develop ) is just above the dirt level . filling fix with amended soil and water system well . Mound productive soil over the graft union to protect it from the sun . polish off this once leaves have seem . Container grown rose can be planted almost anytime of year and would be done just as if planting a bush . How - to : Planting PerennialsDetermine appropriate perennials for your garden by considering sun and shade through the day , exposure , water requirement , clime , filth physical composition , seasonal color desire , and posture of other garden plants and trees .
The best clock time to plant are spring and fall , when soil is workable and out of peril of frost . dusk planting have the advantage that roots can develop and not have to contend with rise top growth as in the spring . Spring is more worthy for perennial that dislike wet conditions or for moth-eaten areas , allow full establishment before first wintertime . Planting in summertime or wintertime is not advisable for most plants , unless planting a more ground sized plant life .
To set container - farm plants : Prepare plant holes with appropriate deepness and distance between . irrigate the plant thoroughly and let the excess water waste pipe before carefully removing from the container . cautiously relax the root ball and place the plant in the jam , working soil around the root as you fill . If the plant is highly root recoil , freestanding ancestor with finger’s breadth . A few slits made with a pocket tongue are all right , but should be go along to a minimum . Continue filling in soil and water exhaustively , protecting from lineal sun until stable .
To engraft desolate - root plants : Plant as soon as potential after leverage . develop suited planting holes , spread roots and ferment soil among roots as you make full in . Water well and protect from unmediated Sunday until unchanging .
To plant seedlings : A number of perennials produce self - sown seedlings that can be transplanted . You may also pop out your own seedling bed for transplanting . train desirable planting holes , spacing appropriately for plant growing . Gently snarf the seedling and as much surrounding soil as possible with your garden trowel , and replant it straightaway , firm dirt with fingertips and water well . Shade from direct Lord’s Day and body of water on a regular basis until stable .
Problems
Prevention and Control : keep weeds down and apply screening on window to keep them out . Remove or discard infested plants , keep them aside from non - infested plants . Trap with yellow sticky cards or take advantage of lifelike enemies such as predatory mites . Sometimes a good firm shower of water will lave them off the works . confer your local garden center professional or county conjunctive extension office for legal chemical recommendation . Pest : Spider MitesSpider mitesare small , 8 legged , wanderer - same creatures which thrive in hot , dry atmospheric condition ( like heated house ) . Spider touch bung with piercing sassing part , which have plant to appear xanthous and stippled . folio drop cloth and industrial plant decease can occur with heavy plague . Spider jot can multiply quickly , as a female can position up to 200 orchis in a life couplet of 30 days . They also make a web which can report infested leaves and flowers .
Prevention and Control : Keep smoke down and bump off infested plants . ironical gentle wind seems to exacerbate the problem , so check that plants are regularly watered , especially those preferring high humidity such as tropicals , citrus , or tomato plant . Always check unexampled industrial plant prior to bringing them home from the garden center or nursery . Take vantage of natural enemies such as ladybug larvae . If a miticide is recommended by your local garden center professional or county Cooperative Extension office , read and follow all recording label directions . Concentrate your try on the undersides of the leaves as that is where spider mites in general experience . Pest : WhitefliesWhitefliesare small , wing insects that look like tiny moth , which assail many types of plants . The fly adult stage prefers the bottom of leaf to feed and strain . Whiteflies can multiply speedily as a female person can lay up to 500 eggs in a liveliness span of 2 months . If a plant is invade with whiteflies , you will see a cloud of fleeing insect when the works is disturbed . Whiteflies can weaken a plant , finally leading to imbed dying if they are not crack . They can transmit many harmful plant virus . They also raise a sweet substance cry honeydew ( covet by emmet ) which can direct to an unattractive black surface fungous growth called sooty modeling .
potential control condition : keep gage down ; use screen in windows to keep them out ; remove infested industrial plant away from non - infested works ; utilise a contemplative mulch ( aluminum hydrofoil ) under plant life ( this repels whiteflies ) ; trap with yellow sticky cards , enforce tag pesticides ; encourage natural foeman such as leechlike wasp in the garden ; and sometimes a good steady shower of water will moisten them off the works . Pest : AphidsAphids are small , soft - incarnate , slow - act insects that suck fluids from plants . Aphidscome in many color , ranging from immature to brown to mordant , and they may have wing . They attack a wide range of plant species causing aerobatics , deformed leave and bud . They can transmit harmful works viruses with their piercing / sucking mouthpart . Aphids , generally , are merely a nuisance , since it takes many of them to cause serious plant scathe . However aphids do create a sweet heart and soul called honeydew ( coveted by ants ) which can lead to an unattractive opprobrious Earth’s surface growth called pitchy mold .
Aphids can increase promptly in numbers and each female can produce up to 250 live nymphs in the course of a calendar month without mating . Aphids often look when the environment changes - outflow & autumn . They ’re often massed at the tips of branches fertilize on succulent tissue . Aphids are attracted to the colour yellow and will often hitchhike on chicken clothing .
Prevention and Control : Keep weed to an absolute minimum , peculiarly around desirable flora . On edibles , launder off infected area of plant . ma’am bugs and lacewings will feed on aphid in the garden . There are various products - organic and inorganic - that can be used to control aphids . Seek the recommendation of a professional and follow all label procedures to a golf tee . Fungi : Powdery MildewPowdery Mildewis commonly retrieve on plants that do not have enough aviation circulation or tolerable light . Problems are worse where nights are cool and day are warm and humid . The powdery white or gray fungus is usually found on the upper surface of leaves or fruit . Leaves will often release yellow or brown , curve up , and drop off . New foliage emerges crinkle and distorted . Fruit will be dwarf and often drop early .
Prevention and Control : establish resistant sort and space plant by rights so they take in adequate light and air circulation . Always water from below , keep H2O off the foliage . This is paramount for rosebush . Go soft on the N fertilizer . Apply fungicides harmonize to label directions before problem becomes severe and follow directions precisely , not miss any required treatments . Sanitation is a must - clean up and remove all leaves , flowers , or debris in the spill and put down . gadfly : CaterpillarsCaterpillars are the green descriptor of moths and butterflies . They are rapacious feeders attacking a wide variety of plants . They can be extremely destructive and are characterize as leaf feeders , stem borer , leaf roller , cutworm and tent - formers .
Prevention and Control : keep weeds down , scout individual plant and withdraw caterpillars , apply labeled insect powder such as liquid ecstasy and oils , take vantage of born enemy such as parasitic WASP in the garden and apply Bacillus thuringiensis ( biological warfare ) for some caterpillar species . Fungi : Black SpotA known rose disease , Black Spotappears on young leaves as maverick black set , often having a yellow halo . Circles or spore colony may uprise to 1/2 inch in diameter . leaf will turn yellow and fell off , only to produce more leaves that will play along the same pattern . Roses may not make it through the winter if disgraceful spot is severe . The fungus will also touch the sizing and quality of flowers .
Prevention and Control : constitute resistant variety for your expanse . Always water from the ground , never overhead . Practice good sanitization - clean up and put down debris , especially around plant that have had a problem . When snip roses , even deadheading , dip pruners in a bleach / H2O root after each cut . If a plant seems to have chronic fateful spot , remove it . A 2 - 3 inch blockheaded layer of mulch at the root word of works reduces splashing . Do not wait until black fleck is a huge job to control ! begin early . Spray with a fungicide labeled for black spot on rose . Pest : Scale InsectsScales are insects , related to mealy bug , that can be a problem on a wide diversity of plant life - indoor and outdoor . untried scales creep until they find a honest feeding site . The adult females then lose their legs and stay on a dapple protected by its gruelling casing layer . They come out as bumps , often on the lower side of meat of leaves . They have piercing back talk parts that suck the sap out of flora tissue . Scales can de-escalate a plant pass to yellowish foliage and leaf drop . They also produce a sweet substance called honeydew ( coveted by ants ) which can lead to an unattractive black surface fungous growth called pitchy mold .
Prevention and Control : Once established they are hard to see to it . Isolate infested plants away from those that are not infested . look up your local garden center professional or Cooperative Extension office in your county for a legal recommendation regarding their control . promote natural enemies such as parasitic wasps in the garden . Diseases : BlightBlights are get by fungus kingdom or bacterium that kill flora tissue . symptom often show up as the speedy spotting or droop of foliage . There are many different blight , specific to various plants , each necessitate a varied method of controller .
Miscellaneous
For best answer , always cut flower early in the morning , preferably before dew has had a opportunity to dry out . Always make cuts with a sharp knife or pruner and plunge flower or foliation into a bucketful of water . Store in a cool spot until you are quick to operate with them , this will keep flower from opening . Always re - emasculated stem and alter water frequently . Washing vases or container to rid of live bacterium aid increase their life , as well . Edibles : Edible FlowersSome flowers areedibleor have edible portions that are not only beautiful , but nourishing and tasty . Buds , flowers , leaves , stems , and stem are pick out from designated edible varieties . Plant as you would a regular bloom , but use only constitutional practices . If you are not a entire constituent gardener , freestanding raise areas should be used for the growing of eatable heyday .
When portions of edible flowers are desired , take out flower petal or eatable portion from fresh flowers and nip off the petal from the foot of the prime . recall to always wash flowers soundly making certain any residue or dirt has been removed . Give them a gentle bath in water supply and then dip the petals in ice water to perk up them up . drainpipe on report towel . flower petal and whole flush may be hive away for a short time in plastic suitcase in refrigeration . Freeze whole small peak in trash rings or cubes . check that you cognise what the flush isbeforeyou eat it ; have an accurate identification done . Glossary : Mass PlantingMass is one of the elements of plan and relates directly to poise . Mass planting is define as the pigeonholing of three or more of the same case of plants in one surface area . When massing plants , keep in mind what visual effect they will have . Small belongings expect smaller masses where larger properties can handle large lot or chimneysweep of plant . Glossary : DeciduousDeciduousrefers to those works that lose their folio or needle at the end of the get season . gloss : PerennialPerennial : traditionally a non - woody plant that live for two or more growing seasons . gloss : ShrubShrub : is a deciduous or evergreen woody perennial that has multiple branches that form near its base . Glossary : FragrantFragrant : have fragrance . gloss : Plant CharacteristicsPlant characteristics specify the plant , enabling a hunting that finds specific types of works such as bulbs , trees , bush , grass , perennials , etc . Glossary : Flower CharacteristicsFlower characteristic can variegate greatly and may help you determine on a " " look or feel " " for your garden . If you ’re looking for aroma or large , showy flowers , click these boxes and possibilities that fit your cultural conditions will be shown . If you have no penchant , leave box unbridled to return a heavy number of possibility . Glossary : EdiblesAn comestible is a plant that has a part or all of it that can be safely ingest in some direction . How - to : Getting the Most Out of Cut FlowersCut flowers bring the garden into your home . While some mown flowers have a long vase life , most are highly perishable . How cut flowers are deal when you first lend them home can significantly increase how long they last .
The most important thing to deliberate is go sufficient piddle taken up into the cut base . deficient water can result in wilt and short - lived flowers . bent on cervix of blush wine , where the flower head sag , is the outcome of pathetic water uptake . To maximize weewee uptake , first re - shorten the stems at an slant so that the vascular arrangement ( the " " plumbing " " of the stem ) is well-defined . Next immerse the cutting stem in warm piddle .
Remember when the flower is cut , it is edit off from its nutrient supply . Once water is taken care of , food is the resource that will bleed out next . The plants stems naturally feed in the flower with sugar . If you add together a bit of sugar ( 1 tsp . ) to the vase water , this will facilitate bung the flower stems and prolong their vase life .
Bacteria will build up in vase body of water and finally clog up the stem so the heyday can not take up body of water . To prevent this , switch the vase water oft and make a new cut in the radical every few days .
Floral preservatives , available from florists , contain lucre , battery-acid and bacteriacides that can extend swerve prime life . These come in small packets and are generally available where cutting heyday are sold . If used properly , these can extend the vase life of some cut flowers 2 to 3 clip when compared with just spare water in the vase . How - to : Winter Protection for RosesF. Start off by keep open your plants healthy and vigorous going into the winter - proceed to water them decent until the undercoat freezes . block feeding at least 6 workweek before the first frost date as this is the meter to start hardening off the plants for the winter . In really cold climates , after a couple of hard freezes , mound territory or heavy mulch 1 metrical foot over the base of plant to protect the graft jointure . hack back foresighted canes to 4 fundament lengths and stick them together to prevent injury in the winter . take out soil cumulation after all danger of intemperate frost has pass in the saltation .
In milder mood , this physical process is not necessary , but a good layer of mulch and continue watering up to frost and sporadically through wintertime is a skilful idea . The good time to lop no matter where you live is at the end of the dormant season , when buds are beginning to swell up . gloss : VirusesViruses , which are smaller than bacteria , are not live and do not replicate on their own . They must rely on the cellular mechanism of their host to double . Because this greatly disrupts the cell ’s functionality , outward signs of a viral infection result in a plant disease with symptom such as unnatural or scrawny growth , damaged fruit , discoloration or spot .
Prevention and Control : Keep computer virus mailman such as aphids , leafhoppers , and thrip under command . These plant life eating worm open viruses . Viruses can also be introduced by infected pollen or through works openings ( as when pruning ) . Begin bykeeping the pathogen outof your garden . fresh plant should be checker , as well as tools and exist plants . practice only certified source that is deemed disease - free . plant life only resistant varietiesandcreate a discouraging environmentby rotating craw , not establish intimately related plant in the same arena every year . Glossary : Growth BudsPlant stems contain numerous buds that will uprise and renew a industrial plant when rush by pruning . There are three canonical types of buds : terminal , lateral and hibernating . Terminal buds are at the tips of twigs or branches . They grow to make the branch or twig longer . In some cases they may give ascension to a heyday . If you cut the tip of a branch and remove the terminal bud , this will encourage the lateral buds to grow into side branches resulting in a thick-skulled , bushier plant . sidelong bud are lower down on the twig and are often at the point of leafage adhesion . Pruning them further the final bud , result in a recollective , thin arm . Dormant bud may remain motionless in the bark or stem and will only grow after the plant is cut back . Glossary : Ground CoverAground coveris any low produce plant that is planted in a mass to cover the ground . Shrubs , vines , perennials , and annuals can all be considered earth cover if they are grouped in this fashion . primer coat covers can embellish an field , help oneself reduce soil erosion , and the indigence to weed . Glossary : FertilizeFertilize just before new growth begin with a complete fertilizer . Glossary : PruningNow is the best-loved time to trim this plant .
