The rose is deservedly called the queen of flowers. This beautiful plant will decorate any garden and will look harmonious in a bouquet. Hybrid Tea varieties, which are distinguished by a wide variety of shades and graceful forms, are especially popular. A bright representative is the Malibu rose.

General and culture information

The ancestor of the hybrid tea group is the La France variety, obtained in 1867 by crossing a tea rose with a remontant. Over time, breeders have developed tens of thousands of varieties. A characteristic feature of these plants is the unique aroma of fresh tea and almost continuous flowering.

Malibu is a Dutch tea hybrid. Initially, it was taken out for cutting. Flowers retain their presentation for about 2 weeks. But now they are more often used to decorate personal plots.

Growing features

Malibu hybrid tea rose will delight the owner with abundant flowering, if correctly placed on the site. A place in partial shade is taken under the plant. It does not like direct sunlight, but it cannot fully exist without them. Also, a flower should not be planted next to trees - they will take away nutrients.

Note! The crop grows best in fertile, drained soils.

Plant care is standard. It consists in systematic:

  • weeding;
  • watering;
  • dressing.

Only warm, settled water is brought under the rose. On especially hot days, the bush is sprayed. With a lack of liquid, the flowers become smaller and quickly fall off. But stagnation of moisture should not be allowed - there is a high probability of decay of the root system.

Watering roses

Important! Withered flowers must be removed so that they do not interfere with the formation of new buds.

Fertilizers are applied regularly - every 2-3 weeks, alternating organic and mineral compositions. At the beginning of the season, the plant needs more nitrogen, during the flowering period - potassium and phosphorus.

To improve the decorative qualities, foliar feeding is periodically carried out. Thanks to it, the duration of flowering increases, the leaves acquire a more intense color.

Additional Information! Due to its unusual color, the Malibu rose is often included in wedding bouquets.

Pruning is carried out in spring and autumn. Broken and frostbitten branches are removed. The procedure is essential for good growth and abundant flowering.

Like other varieties, these plants are propagated by cuttings or grafts.
