Detailed description
Rosa Kordana is a line of varieties of miniature roses. It belongs to the family Rosaceae and the subfamily Pink (Rosaceae). Almost all representatives of this subfamily grow in a subtropical and temperate climate, and therefore Rosa Koradna feels great at home.
This plant can reach a height of 30 centimeters. Its flowers are of a classical form and have several color options:
- red;

History of occurrence
The history of miniature roses begins in the 19th century. In 1810, dwarf tea roses were brought to Europe from China. Florists were struck by their beauty and size, and a little later crossed with low polyanthus and other roses, eventually bringing out the first varieties of miniature roses.
Roses of Cordan got their name in honor of the originator of their line, grower-breeder Wilhelm Cordes.
What is the difference from the rest of the species?
A feature of roses of this varietal line is the complete absence of aroma during flowering. Of course, many love flowers for their sweet aroma, but then Cordana rose is perfect for allergy sufferers.

- Care before and after flowering (features).
A rose does not need special conditions, in addition to following the general rules for caring for this variety. But it should be remembered that in the autumn after flowering, it is necessary to prune all flowers and inflorescences.
- What to do if it does not bloom.
If the rose does not bloom or blooms for a short time, then it is likely that it is improperly looked after. It must be remembered that for a long and lush flowering, this flower needs a bright place and good air circulation. For greater splendor of flowers, you need to spray it once a week with warm water.
It is very important to prune already wilted flowers. If this is not done, then seeds will form, and this process will take all the strength and nutritional juices, thereby reducing the flowering time.
Care for indoor potted plants at home after purchase
Pot selection
After the purchase, the flower should be transplanted into a container that is 5-7 cm larger in height and 2-4 cm in diameter. In the future, when transplanting, you should choose a container a couple of centimeters larger than the previous one.
If the pot is ceramic and new, then it should be soaked in warm water for a couple of hours. If previously used, then simply wash with warm water, rubbing with a stiff brush.
The soil
Suitable for a miniature beauty will be soil with the following composition: turfy soil, humus and sand in a ratio of 4: 4: 1. Yet You can purchase special primer for roses in the store.
Seed planting
This method of planting is convenient for growing Roses Cordan, since blooming bushes grow in spring sowing in summer. But it should be understood that plants grown from seeds obtained independently can lose the properties of Roses Cordana, since this is a hybrid variety. Because the seeds of this variety are best purchased at the store.
Seedlings are planted in containers at the end of winter. Watering is moderate. I plant more seedlings in pots in May.
Important: Suitable conditions for seed germination would be a temperature of about 18 degrees and light access for 10 hours a day.Temperature
This rose is comfortable growing at a temperature of 15 to 20 ° C (but not more than 22 degrees). She loves airing, but drafts must be avoided. But in winter, when the rose begins a period of deep dormancy, the optimum temperature will be 5-8 ° C. If the rest is forced, with the leaves preserved, then the rose will be comfortable + 10-12 ° C, but not higher than + 16 ° C.
Rosa Cordana loves the light, so you need to choose a bright place for the pot, but it is important to remember about shading (on a southern window, under direct sunlight, the plant may burn).
Watering
To water a flower, warm and well-maintained water is needed. Rose is very fond of moisture, but does not tolerate its stagnation, because the liquid from the pallet must be regularly drained.
Watering, although plentiful, but not frequent. Determining whether a flower needs watering is simple: touch the topsoil with your finger. If it is dry, then it's time to water.
Top dressing
After the purchase, you should not fertilize for three monthsto avoid excess salts. Feeding is usually necessary in spring and summer. In the spring, nitrogen-containing fertilizers will be most suitable, in the summer - potassium-phosphorus. You can add top dressing every week.
Pruning
Cut the Rose of Cordan several times a year. In the spring, after buying from a seedling, cut off diseased, damaged, or too long roots. In the summer, wilted flowers are removed. In the fall, all flowers and inflorescences are cut off from the plant. This will prepare the plant for winter and for future flowering next year.
Transfer
For the first time, a transplant is necessary immediately after buying a flower. Then this procedure is preferably carried out annually.
- It is necessary to wet the soil in the pot. So the flower will be more convenient to extract.
- Put drainage, for example, expanded clay, in a new pot.
- Make holes for water.
- Holding the plant, turn the pot over and extract the bush.
- Make transshipment in a new pot without violating the integrity of the feed.
- Pour the mixture, then slightly compact it.
How to breed at home?
Rosa Cordana propagated by cuttings. This procedure should be carried out from May to August.
- Cut branches with 3-4 buds. The lower slice should be oblique (at an angle of 45 degrees), the upper - straight.
- Put the branches in a container of water, adding a growth stimulator.
- Keep the cuttings in a bright place, adding water when necessary.
- Wait for the roots to appear 2 cm in size, and then plant them in separate pots.
Diseases and Pests
Improper care can lead to illness. For example, excess water can cause root rot. Spraying leaves with cold water leads to powdery mildew. Often, Cordan's rose is struck by a spider mite. Its appearance may be due to improper conditions of the flower. Aphids are another pest that is dangerous for Rosa Cordana.
