Varietal characteristic

Well-known in our country, the variety "Nina Weibul" was bred by breeders more than half a century ago in Denmark. The originator of the variety is the company "Poulsen". The average height of a compact, but rather branched rose bush is about 0.60−0.75 m with a width of 0, 55 m. Terry flowers are distinguished by a blood-red color, with a diameter of 5-6 cm. According to the description of the originator, the flowers are collected in inflorescences of five pieces.

As a stock for this variety, the most commonly used rose is rugosa or rose canina. The continuously blooming Nina Weibull rose is resistant to weather and blooms continuously until a steady fall in cold weather. High resistance to damage by powdery mildew and black spotting minimizes the need for preventive treatments.

• it is optimal to fill a pre-prepared landing pit with a nutrient mixture based on the same amount of garden soil, sand, humus and peat with the addition of a small amount of phosphate fertilizers and bone meal;
• grafted seedlings of Nina Weibull garden roses must be correctly placed in the planting pits;

Reviews and recommendations of flower growers

Most often, in regions with an unfavorable climate and far from ideal soil composition, Rose Clair Renaissance, or Renaissance, and Nina Weibul varieties are grown. Despite its rather "venerable" age, the variety "Nina Weibull" is still one of the most popular red-flowered floribundas in the Scandinavian countries. Its widespread popularity is also recorded in Finland and Iceland.

Unusually bright flowers of a dark red color, according to reviews of amateur gardeners and landscape designers, do not fade under the influence of sunlight.

Bushes of this decorative flowering culture are well developed, very powerful and relatively branched, which makes the variety suitable for decorating a personal garden or recreation area. Minor varietal shortcomings include a markedly pronounced spike in the shoots, which in any case is compensated by prolonged flowering, resistance to the most common rose diseases and ease of care.
