Hybrid tea rose GOLDEN MEDALLION. Hybrid tea rose GOLDEN MEDALLION Rose medallion

Golden Medallion is a classic representative of a tea-hybrid type of roses. Large in diameter, the flower has many delicate, brightly colored petals, with slightly wavy edges and a delicate, sweetish aroma.

Description of the variety Golden Medallion and photos of roses

Rosa hybrid tea Golden Medallion appeared in the gardens of flower lovers in 1984. The author of the variety is the German breeder Kordes. The variety got its name due to the rich creamy yellow color that appears singly or in clusters of 3-4 flowers. The variety, in addition to the beauty of flowering, is famous for its surprisingly rich, strong aroma.

Rose flowers open slowly. They are beautiful both in the phase of a long bud, pointed at the top, and in full bloom, when they look like a gold medal. These medals cover the rosebush from June until almost October. The backdrop for the delicate flowers is the brilliant, dark green foliage of the rose bush.

The height of the rose bush is 60-80 centimeters, the width is 75 centimeters. Thanks to this combination of sizes, Golden Medallion forms a compact bush that looks beautiful in a flower bed in all phases of development.

Rules for planting roses Golden Medallion

When planting Golden Medallion roses, the soil must be dug up by 40 centimeters

To grow a rose, you need to choose a place illuminated by the sun for most of the day and protected from wind and drafts. The soil on the site should be nutritious and as loose as possible.

The seedling is planted in open ground in early or mid-May, depending on weather conditions. The soil needs to be dug up at least 40 centimeters, since the root system of the Golden Medallion is deep. Humus and a small amount of ash must be added to the planting pit to neutralize the acidity of the soil.

The seedling is placed in a hole and covered with soil in such a way that the root neck is covered only by 2-3 centimeters. A deeper planting will cause the rose to run wild, and it will turn into a non-flowering wild rose.

The soil around the seedling is carefully rammed as it is poured. The rose should be held firmly in the ground and not sway under the gusts of wind. If the bush sways after planting, it means that it is planted incorrectly, and the roots may not take root.

rose care

During cultivation, the rose needs regular watering, fertilizing, loosening the soil and removing weeds. All these activities must be carried out regularly, otherwise you will not get a well-developed bush.

You need to water the rose once or twice a week, depending on the weather conditions. On hot, dry days, increase the amount of watering. The amount of moisture must be adjusted so that it reaches the depth of the root system. If you constantly moisten only the surface around the bush, the plant will begin to dry out.

The amount of moisture for a rose must be regulated

But at the same time, you should not fill the bush, otherwise the roots will begin to rot from excess moisture and the plant will die. Noticeably 5-7 liters of water are spent on a young bush, 15 liters on an adult with each watering.

How and what to feed

At the beginning of development, in early spring, a rose needs a large amount of nitrogen to cause a build-up of leaf mass and stimulate the growth of shoots. You can use mullein solution (1X10) or urea for top dressing (according to the recommendations on the package).

As soon as buds begin to form on the stems, fertilizing begins with potassium-phosphorus fertilizer. Nitrogen from fertilizer mixtures during flowering must be excluded so that the rose does not begin to “fatten”. Otherwise, there will be more and more foliage, and few flowers.

An important point is the technology of fertilizing. For their introduction around the bush, at a distance of 30 cm, grooves are made, which are first shed with water, only after that fertilizer is poured into them, 5-6 liters per bush. Then the grooves are covered with earth, and a day later the surface around the bush is loosened.

The number of dressings of roses during the vegetative period is 3-4.

IMPORTANT. From the end of September, all top dressing is stopped so as not to cause the growth of new shoots before wintering.

Technique for pruning roses Golden Medallion

Several times a year, the rose bush must be cut and pinched. Pruning is carried out according to the seasons:

spring- carried out immediately after the removal of winter shelter. Very important for stimulating rose flowering during the season. But do not rush to carry it out if the kidneys have not yet woken up, so as not to cut them off by accident. As soon as the kidneys reach a size of 0.5 cm, you need to start the procedure. Rose hybrid tea Golden Medallion is medium growing, so she leaves shoots of 25 centimeters with 5-6 buds. All "blind" shoots are completely embedded.
Summer- is also important to prevent the plant from wasting energy on the formation of fruits. It is carried out as the stems fade. Withered heads are removed along with the stem above the 2nd or 3rd bud. Golden Medallion is a slightly rain resistant rose. Therefore, during periods of prolonged rains, all flowers will have to be removed. If this is not done, they will become a source of fungal diseases, and the bush may die.

Roses Golden Medallion cut three times

autumn- carried out during the preparation of the rose for winter. Immediately before the shelter of the plant, young, weak, too long and dry shoots are cut out for the winter. Strong pruning in the fall is not recommended.

IMPORTANT. Use a sharp pruner or garden shears for pruning. If you use a blunt tool, it will tear the tissues of the stem and infection will begin to get into them.

Organization of wintering

Golden Medallion is a frost-resistant variety, but it is still not able to endure a harsh winter without shelter. After pruning, the root neck of the plant should be covered with humus or peat to a height of 30-40 centimeters.

Frame for sheltering roses

Then the bush must be overlaid with spruce branches as tightly as possible. Fix the spruce with a rope. If it is not possible to find spruce branches, the rose is covered with a non-woven covering material in several layers. It can be wrapped around a bush or a wire frame can be built on which the fabric is fixed.

ATTENTION. Do not cover the rose with plastic wrap, under it the rose will dry out during the winter.

Methods of protection against diseases

Black spotting, as it usually occurs in cold and rainy weather

Like all roses, Golden Medallion is susceptible to a number of diseases associated with improper care and adverse weather conditions. As a preventive measure in the spring, the bush is treated with HOM, OXYHOM or copper sulphate. This will prevent the most common disease of hybrid tea roses - powdery mildew.

Each disease is reflected in the appearance of the plant, according to which the diagnosis is made:

Dense white coating on the leaves and their deformation - powdery mildew. It affects the rose in damp, cold weather. Rosa Golden Medallion is relatively resistant to this disease, so it can be prevented by treatment with copper-containing preparations. If the plaque still appeared, the rose is treated with Prognosis, Fundazol.
Yellowish, vague spots on the upper part of the leaves and a gray coating on the back - downy mildew.
Round, yellow pads on leaves and shoots - rust. The disease is provoked by an abundance of precipitation combined with heat.
Purple or black spots on leaves and stems - black spot. It often affects the Golden Medallion rose in cold, rainy weather.

Pest control

It is necessary to destroy the pests that have appeared in a timely manner, as well as try to prevent their appearance. They not only suck the juices from the plant and spoil its appearance, but are also carriers of dangerous viral diseases. Your rose may show:

Aphid- the most frequent guest on the bushes. It covers the shoots and leaves, leaving a sticky coating on them. You can protect the bush from this pest by planting marigolds, calendula, nasturtium next to it. When aphids appear on a rose, it is sprayed with insecticides (Alatar, Commander, Aktellik).
Spider mite. Appears on plants in hot, dry weather. A thin, white cobweb or leaves speaks of infection. When infected, Malathion, Spark, Sunmite are used.
rose sawfly- eats away the entire leaf plate, and it turns into a skeleton. Female sawflies lay their larvae on the underside of the leaf. They must first be collected by hand, and then treated with Inta-Vir, Phosbecid, Aktara, Aktellik preparations. We recommend watching a video about this pest.

Rose cicada- settles in buds and on leaves that are covered with white spots. The tissue of the leaf seems to become thinner, and then dries up. Often appears on a rose if an apple, pear, cherry, plum or raspberry grows nearby. Destroy the pest with Zolon, Decis, Ariva preparations.
thrips- Leaves, buds, flowers are affected. The edges of the petals turn black, the leaves are covered with silvery spots. When a pest appears, the bush is washed with warm water with laundry soap diluted in it, then rinsed with clean water, then treated with Vermitek, Fitoverm, Agravertin, Confidor.

How to propagate golden medallion roses

Roses Golden Medallion, propagated by cuttings and dividing the bush

Hybrid tea rose seedlings Golden Medallion can be purchased at nurseries or online stores. Price in specialized nurseries, you can purchase a 2- and 3-4-year-old seedling at a price of 3,000 to 5,500 rubles. So you get a hardened, mature bush that is guaranteed to give abundant flowering in the first year.

Annual seedlings are much cheaper from 200 to 900 rubles, depending on the quality of the planting material and its packaging.

Like most hybrid tea roses, this variety propagates in two ways:

Cuttings. It is quite difficult to grow a full-fledged, own-rooted copy when cutting Golden Medallion. The seedling may not be sufficiently resistant to frost. Herbaceous and fatty shoots are not suitable for rooting. The blanks are cut at an angle of 45 degrees in July. The cut is made from a green shoot under the kidney, and half a centimeter above the kidney. Before planting, the lower leaves are removed, the upper ones are cut in half. Rooting is carried out on prepared high ridges. The upper part is 5 cm covered with sand. The bed is moistened and cuttings are placed in it at an angle to a depth of 8-10 cm. On top of the landing, cover with transparent caps, plastic bottles are suitable for this. By autumn, the cuttings should already take root, after which the caps must be removed to harden the plants. When cold weather sets in, the cuttings are covered with spruce branches or non-woven material thrown over the frame. By next spring, the seedlings will be ready for planting in a permanent place.
The division of the bush. You can share an adult rose bush, at least three years old. The bush is dug up and cut into two parts. Each is planted separately, adhering to the rules of planting.

Rose hybrid tea GOLDEN MEDALLION is one of the leading group of cut roses. Hybrid tea roses have a bush height of 60 to 100 cm. Peduncles 40 to 80 cm long, on one peduncle from 1 to 3 large, up to 10 cm in diameter flowers. The most fragrant red and purple varieties of hybrid tea roses, white roses have a very delicate aroma. Hybrid tea roses, like all roses, are demanding on the place of growth. Roses need rich, well-drained soils, as roses have a very deep root system. The location should be sunny, preferably protected from the winds. Rose plants are quite large, so planting is not recommended to thicken. A rose is planted in May, before planting, it is recommended to store the seedling in a cold place, preventing drying, or plant it in a deep pot immediately after purchase and transship it into open ground in May. For the winter, hybrid tea roses require careful shelter, which should be well ventilated in winter to prevent the rose from drying out. The hardiness zone (USDA) is the sixth zone.

Saplings are sold with a closed root system. The roots of the seedling are in the ground, which is wrapped in paper and packed in a plastic bag. The package, in turn, is placed in a cardboard tube with a plastic bottom. The tube contains a photo of a rose, a description of the variety and a seedling planting scheme. When planting, the tuba and the plastic bag are removed from the root system, the paper should not be removed, as it protects the earthen lump from destruction and therefore reduces injury to the roots. The seedlings have a well-formed bole, with a diameter at the grafting site of at least 0.5 cm, 2-3 main shoots and 2-3 main roots, at least 20 cm long. Rootstocks SMITH IDEAL and LAKSA are used for seedlings. The shoots of the seedling are covered with wax, which does not need to be removed; the wax protects the seedlings from drying out and is not an obstacle to the awakening of the kidneys. Careful and thoughtful packaging allows you to keep the seedlings in excellent condition until planting in the ground. It is important to prevent overdrying and excessive moistening of the seedling's earthy coma.
