Landing
From the description it is easy to understand that the tea hybrid rose "Black Baccarat" is grown in open soil. If the planting is carried out on the territory of the region with a mild winter, planting is done in the fall. If the winter is harsh, seedlings are planted in the spring.
Better for the flower - autumn planting. It is produced from mid-September to early October, so that the bush has time to take root and grow strong before winter.
Important! Rose must be grafted.The penumbra favorably affects the flowering of the plant itself and the color of its flowers, as well as the soil. The bush does not like close proximity to trees. Prefer planting near srednerosly shrub on acidic soil. No wood ash is required before planting.
Soil previously digs up to 40 cm in depth. For soil with a heavy composition, additional application of sand and peat may be necessary. Compost or humus also will not be superfluous.At the bottom of the hole dug under the rose planting lay out the drainage layer. It is sprinkled with soil mixture, after which the seedling is transferred to the hole. Before planting, it is better to hold the future bush in warm water for an hour to straighten and moisten the roots.
Remember that the root system of the plant should be in the soil, and the root neck - not less than 3 cm of the surface level. If the seedling is firmly held in the ground, then you did everything right and after 10-12 days young roots will appear.
This variety, planted in autumn, will quickly form a strong bush in the spring. The spring seedling will experience a lag in growth and development of about 14 days.
Did you know? The market value of natural rose oil is higher than the cost of gold and platinum.
Breeding
Seedlings are usually purchased in nurseries. Reproduction at home by dividing the bush for this variety is undesirable. It can be carried out, but only with five-year bushes, while they are divided in half. Such manipulation will significantly slow down the growth and stop the flowering of the rose.
Cutting - the best breeding for Black Baccarat. This method does not harm the mother bush, and the cuttings will be full-fledged plants after three years.
Ground cover, climbing and standard roses form an unusually beautiful space.
Cuttings should be cut at an angle of 45 °, either under the kidney from below or above the kidney from above. The recommended length is 15 cm. The maternal plant must be healthy. To cut the workpiece, choose a thick shoot of the current year.
Planting it can be carried out in June-July in the prepared box. A year later, in spring, you can transplant the previously hardened seedling into the open soil. For winter, the future bush is better to cover.
Care
Caring for the Black Baccarat hybrid tea, as well as planting, is not so simple. Watering, feeding, pruning and winter preparation have certain features.
Watering
Watering is carried out only by separated warm water (heated in the sun) early in the morning or late in the evening. Cold water - a strong stress for the rose.
Important! Do not pour water on the aboveground part of the bush. This can lead to the development of fungus.The frequency of irrigation and the amount of water needed by the bush depend on climatic and soil conditions. The rose of this variety requires abundant irrigation. After the procedure, watering or rain need to loosen the ground. Be careful - do not damage the roots.
Top dressing
Mulching soil on which the bush grows, wood shavings or sawdust, you reduce the evaporation of moisture and slow the growth of weeds. For the first feeding use nitrogen fertilizers to stimulate growth. The period of holding is immediately after the removal of the winter shelter.
The second fertilizer procedure is carried out at the beginning of active shoot growth. For this it is necessary to use nutritional complexes, which include the basic trace elements. When the rose is in the phase of active bud formation, it needs fertilizing with a solution of chicken manure or manure. And before wintering (immediately after flowering) it is recommended to put potassium fertilizers into the soil.
Pruning
In the summer, during flowering, the rose requires the removal of wilted flowers. Pruning is required in spring and autumn.
In the spring, pruned shoots that have dried up or been damaged. Parts of the stems above the recommended level (fourth kidney) are cut at an angle using a shears.
Important! Cut stalks can only be after the awakening of the kidneys.In the autumn, after a period of flowering, it is necessary to cut off all the "fat" shoots and those that have faded. All the rest just enough to shorten to 40 centimeters in height. In addition, before wintering need to remove all the leaves. Only after this, the plant can be covered with spruce leaves or special material (for example, spunbond).
Diseases and pests
Hybrid tea roses suffer from powdery mildew and sulfuric blotch, but Black Baccara is not susceptible to such diseases, although preventive measures do not hurt. To do this, in the spring the bush is treated with copper sulfate or drugs "Topaz", "Prognosis", "Fundazol", "Hom".
If the irrigation rules were violated, and the water still fell on the aerial part of the rose, the plant could become sick with gray rot or rust. In order to prevent and treat these diseases, the bush is treated with a special mixture: 300 g of copper sulfate + 100 g of Bordeaux liquid per 1 bucket of water.
The main pests of the variety are insects such as:
- green rosy aphid;
- spider mite;
- thrips;
- Rosan cicada.
From the tick, treatment with Inta-Vir and Phosbecid helps.
Tripsov destroy poisons "Vermitek", "Confidor" and "Agravertin."
Against cicadas, it is recommended to use "Zolon", "Ariva" or "Decis".
Application in landscape design
"Black Baccarat", as a shade-tolerant plant, finds its application in landscape design, decorating those parts of the territory where another element of the composition will simply perish. The variety goes well with red and white flowers, as well as undersized perennials with flowers in pastel shades. 
Since the bushes have an average height, they can be planted in containers or vases for installation on the porch or veranda. But you should not grow a rose of this variety indoors.
Did you know? The oldest rose in the world is at the Hildesheim Cathedral (Germany). She is about 1000 years old.The tea hybrid rose "Black Baccara" is always distinguished by its appearance among other plants, wherever it is located. The variety is designed for cutting, but it feels fine in the garden. He is quite demanding to care, but subject to all rules, including planting, the bush will delight you with its flowering for more than one year.
