The advantages of this variety are excellent disease resistance, high frost resistance and a small number of thorns. The rose is not afraid of rain, high humidity and tolerates hot summers well, but with a strong increase in temperature, the flowering of the bush may decrease.
Description and characteristics of the rose Princess Anne
The Austin rose variety Princess Anne belongs to the scrub class. Reminiscent of a hybrid of a classic version of English antique flowers. The bush is compact, erect, fairly branched. Its height can reach up to 120 cm and width - 90 cm. The shoots are strong, straight, and even under the weight of large buds they practically do not bend. There are many thorns, a moderate amount of green mass. The leaves are medium in size, leathery, with a glossy surface and finely serrated edges.
The buds form evenly throughout the bush. They are collected in large brushes of 3-5 pieces, but single flowers can also be observed. They are densely double and quite large, the diameter of which varies between 8-12 cm. At first the buds are cone-shaped, at the peak of flowering they are goblet-shaped. Only when they bloom, they have a dark pink tint, almost red (raspberry). With age, the flowers lose their rich color, becoming pink with a purple tint. The petals themselves are narrow, numerous (up to 85 pieces), and densely packed. On their reverse side you can see a yellowish tint.
Attention! The Princess Anna variety has a medium-intensity aroma, similar to the scent of tea roses.
Repeated flowering occurs in waves, from June to October, almost until the onset of the first frost. Throughout the growing season, the bush changes its color palette very advantageously, which gives this variety its charm. The flowers are weather-resistant and easily tolerate short rains. Under good growing conditions, they can remain on the bush without drying out or falling off for up to 5-7 days.

History of selection
The Princess Anne rose variety was bred by the famous English rose grower and breeder David Austin in 2010. Its name was given in honor of Princess Anne, the daughter of Queen Elizabeth II of England.
A year after its creation, in 2011, the Princess Anne rose won its first award at an international exhibition in Great Britain, it was named “Best New Plant Variety.” A year later, the prickly beauty was awarded the title “Gold Standard”.
What to do if it doesn't bloom?
If your rose doesn't bloom:
- A low-quality seedling was selected for planting.
- Poorly lit place.
- The soil for planting is not prepared correctly.
- Burying too deep or too low.
- Poor pruning of bushes.
- The bush was poorly insulated for wintering.
- Incorrect watering.
- Lack or excess of fertilizers.
In order to solve the problem of flowering, you need to dig up the plant, transplant it correctly to another place and try to restore the plant with fertilizers.
Failed kidnapping and criminal record
In 1974, Anna and her husband Mark were returning home from a charity evening. In the car with them were also the driver, bodyguard and maid of honor of the princess. Literally at the entrance to the palace, the road to their car was blocked by a white Ford, from which a young man got out. He shot the bodyguard, and then climbed into the Rolls-Royce and sat next to Anna. The attacker demanded 2 million pounds, and also asked the princess to get out of the car and go somewhere with him. Anna later recalled that she tried to be extremely polite, but at the same time resolutely refused to leave with the kidnapper. In addition to the bodyguard, several other people were injured during the incident, including the driver. All victims survived.

The situation was saved by a passing man named Ronald Russell, a former boxer. He hit the kidnapper, who was trying to pull the princess out of the Rolls-Royce, on the head, after which he fell to the ground. The attacker was 26-year-old Ian Ball, who was declared mentally unstable by the court. His motivation for the kidnapping was allegedly an attempt to draw attention to the problem of mental health and the lack of a sufficient number of institutions that would help such patients. Balla was sentenced to spend the rest of his life in a mental hospital.
Anne is the only member of the royal family who has a criminal record. In 2002, her bull terrier Dottie attacked two children walking in a Windsor park. The princess went to court, where she was found guilty of failing to look after her pet and ordered to pay a fine of £500, as well as compensation to the victims. Anna was asked from now on to keep the animal exclusively on a leash in public places and to hire a dog handler.

Use in landscape design
This variety of stunningly delicate rose is often used in landscape design. This flower is highly valued for its high decorative qualities .
It looks great in large garden landscapes, but can also be used to decorate a small space.
In small gardens, you can make an excellent accent against the background of a meadow with other flowers, but in large ones it is better to plant these flowers in full groups. In flower beds, roses are combined with various herbaceous perennials.
Step-by-step care instructions
Selecting a location
The landing site should be located on the sunny side, but protected from drafts and strong winds. A good place to be located near buildings or tall bushes .
Timing
Spring is the best time to plant a rose, then it will be able to take root and wintering will be successful. At the end of autumn, the soil is fertilized with cow manure.
The soil
The ideal soil for planting is fertilized, loose and not clayey.
Landing
Seedlings
How to choose? It is better to purchase seedlings in March; when choosing, pay attention to their quality . The root system should be free of signs of rotting and have a “healthy” appearance. The bush should have 3 to 4 shoots developed.
Before planting, it is better to store the seedlings in the basement, sprinkling the root system with damp sand. The best time for planting is from May to June, before the heat sets in.
Before planting, the roots are soaked in water for 2 hours. To disinfect the roots, use a weak solution of manganese, in which the roots are soaked for half an hour. The depth of the hole should be 50-60 cm so that the roots fit freely and do not bend. Before this, the soil is watered with 2 liters of water.
After this, half of the hole is filled in equal quantities with a mixture of soil, sand and fertilizer. Next, the seedling is planted in the prepared soil, approximately 2-3 cm, to the point of thickening. The soil around the plant is lightly compacted, and a mound is created from the soil so that when watering, water flows to the roots.
Seeds
Fruits collected at the end of summer are considered to be of higher quality. After harvesting, the fruits are cut into two parts to extract the seeds. The seeds are washed in hydrogen peroxide for 20 minutes using a sieve. This is done to destroy various bacteria. Seeds can be planted both in the garden and at home .
- To grow at home, the seeds are laid out between a substrate soaked in hydrogen peroxide.
- Next, this entire structure is covered with film or a bag and placed in the refrigerator.
- Over the course of 2 months, the seeds are inspected and moistened as necessary.
- When the seeds are ripe, they are planted in pots. They will need good lighting for the first 10 hours.
- In order for the root system to develop, the first flowers that grow should be cut off.
To plant seeds in the garden, the seeds are grown in a similar way and then planted in the ground with well-fertilized and loose soil. The time for planting seeds is August.
Temperature
This variety is unpretentious to climatic conditions, it is resistant to temperature changes, and tolerates frost well. But the beds will still have to be covered for the winter.
Watering
Watering the rose should be plentiful but rare, once a week is enough . It is better to use rain or melt water. When watering, it is important that the buds and leaves do not get wet. After planting and during flowering, the bush can be watered up to 3 times a day. In autumn, watering should be avoided. Watering is possible only in cases where there is no precipitation.
Top dressing
To ensure abundant flowering, the bushes are fed with mineral fertilizers, and to improve the composition of the soil with organic fertilizers. There is no need to feed in the first year, since fertilizer was already applied when planting.
To prepare for winter, the leaves are sprayed with potassium sulfate . The first fertilizing is applied in the spring, with dry mineral fertilizers. After watering, the fertilizer is scattered around the bush, then covered and watered again.
After a week and at the end of the season, organic fertilizer is applied - mullein solution. It is laid out around the bush, loosened along with the soil and watered. When the rose begins to bud, it is fed with an infusion of cow dung. It is not recommended to feed the bush during the active flowering period.
Weeding
In order for roses to bloom actively, the bush needs to be regularly weeded to remove weeds.
Mulching
Mulching is carried out in the spring . This procedure additionally nourishes the root system and reduces the number of weeds. The material for mulch can be straw, compost, or leaf humus. The mulch thickness should be at least 5 cm.
Loosening
The soil must be loosened; it is better to do this after fertilizing or watering once a month. This is done in order to saturate it with oxygen. The soil must retain moisture well, this is beneficial for the root system.
Trimming
Preventive . Preventive pruning is carried out in early spring to combat fungal infections and various diseases of the bush. Rose shoots are cut short, leaving only a few buds. The cut shoots are burned. After pruning, the plant is sprayed with a 3% solution of copper sulfate.- Formative . Formative pruning is carried out annually, with the arrival of spring. The bushes are carefully inspected, after which excess shoots are cut off. It is important that pruning does not harm the flowering of the bush, and that there are no extra shoots left on the rose. If pruning is not done in time, long shoots will soon grow, which will negatively affect the development of the bush.
Transfer
Bushes are replanted in the fall. The bush is dug up so that the root system is not affected. But even if some of the roots are damaged, recovery will take place quickly.
The bush is dug out gradually from all sides, slowly delving into the root system . Having reached the tap root, which goes deep into the ground, it is cut off. Next, the bush is laid out on a large bag prepared in advance. The new planting hole should be larger than the previous one. The planted rose must be watered and mulched. Pruning should be postponed until spring.
Preparing for winter
In order for the bushes to overwinter well, they must be covered with dry leaves or branches of pine trees. Sprinkle the top with peat or soil, up to 25 cm high.
Growing and care
The best time to plant Princess Anne roses is mid-spring. In the autumn, it is carried out only if the weather conditions are not very changeable and the plant can take root before winter.
The place for the Princess Anne rose should be chosen taking into account that the sun's rays hit the bush only in the morning and evening hours. At noon it would be in shadow. The site itself should not be low-lying or too exposed to through winds. And groundwater should pass at a depth of at least 1 m.
At the end of planting, the Princess Anne rose seedling is watered and the soil around is mulched with sawdust or peat.
The most suitable indicator of soil acidity varies between pH 6.0-6.5. Black soil is considered optimal for roses, but its cultivation on loamy soils is also acceptable, only in this case it will need to be periodically enriched with organic matter.
Princess Anna roses are planted immediately in a permanent place, since they do not tolerate transplantation well. To do this, dig a hole measuring 50x70 cm in advance. At the bottom, drainage is formed from gravel or crushed stone with a layer of at least 10 cm. Soil taken from the hole, mixed with compost in the form of a cone, is poured on top. Just before planting, the roots of the Princess Anne rose seedling are first placed in a clay mash, then it is transferred to a prepared hole and, having carefully spread the roots over an earthen cone, they begin to cover it with the remaining soil. This is done in such a way that the root collar after compaction is located 3 cm below the soil level.
The Princess Anna rose does not need constant watering; it only needs to moisten the soil once every 10-15 days. If the weather is dry, the frequency of irrigation can be increased. At the end of summer, watering is done less frequently, and in September it is completely stopped.
Every year, the Princess Anne rose requires feeding in order to gain strength for abundant flowering. As a rule, in the spring the bush requires nitrogen-containing fertilizers in order to increase green mass and young shoots. And during the flowering period, it is advisable to feed it with a potassium-phosphorus composition.
Pruning is also necessary for roses of this variety. It is performed at least twice a season. In the spring, all frozen shoots are removed, and healthy ones are pruned by 1/3. During the flowering period, dried buds are removed. In the fall, sanitary pruning is carried out, thinning the bush and removing damaged branches.
The Princess Anna rose variety needs shelter only if the winter is quite severe with frosts around -3 0 °C. Otherwise, there is no need to cover the bushes.
Reproduction
There are two methods of rose propagation: cuttings and grafting.
Cuttings
- Shoots whose wood has not fully matured are cut off and divided into cuttings, the length of which is about 6 cm. Each shoot must have at least one bud and leaves.
- The shoots are dried, and the lower cut is sprinkled with a stimulant, which affects root growth.
- The plant is planted in soil impregnated with fertilizers and covered with film.
- Ventilation, watering and spraying are carried out regularly.
- For the winter, the plants are insulated, and the next season they are transplanted to a new place or grown.
Vaccination method
For grafting, a rosehip rootstock no older than 3 years is used. Vaccination is carried out in July or August .
- On an annual faded shoot, cut blanks about 1 cm wide with two or three buds.
- Leaves and thorns are removed from the resulting scion.
- In the middle of the cutting, a bud is cut along with a small piece of bark.
- Soil is spread around the rosehip and the root collar is exposed - the place where the trunk transitions into the root.
- A cut similar to the letter T is made on the neck to connect the rootstock and scion.
- The grafting site is wrapped with film, leaving the bud open.
- The root collar is sprinkled so that the budding site is hidden.
Diseases and pests
Diseases and diseases of roses include:
- downy mildew;
- leaf roller caterpillar;
- moth caterpillar;
- green aphid.
If leaf roller or moth caterpillars appear on plants, then chemicals should be used. All damaged foliage should be torn off and burned. The main cause of powdery mildew is moisture. The leaves first become covered with mold, and then with brown-red spots. To kill insects, the bush is sprayed 2 times a week with a solution of baking soda. The procedure should be carried out from spring until the end of June.
Another pest is green aphid . It can be dealt with with a soap solution that is sprayed on the stem and leaves. A bar of soap is boiled in 10 liters of water and then infused for 15 minutes. The procedure should be repeated after 7-10 days.
