Choose this kind of flower for summer: blooms in all four seasons, rich fragrance, beautiful and easy to grow, enjoy the flowers and the scent

Introduction

Potted green plants are already a must-have decorative element for home life. Keeping some flowers and plants at home has many benefits: it beautifies the home and also lifts the mood and cultivates character. "Flower Voice Potted Plant Diary, Issue 1074" introduces you to a flower suitable for growing in summer.

Today's star

Friends who love flowers and plants all know that summer is not a good season for growing flowers. Many herbaceous flowers cannot survive the summer outdoors, and even some potted plants struggle to get through summer, such as succulents, begonia, and Rose of Sharon. Today I will introduce a plant that is heat-tolerant and cold-resistant and also blooms in summer. This flower is called "Red Apple," a type of cut-flower rose.

Red Apple

Red Apple is a new garden rose cultivar bred in Japan in 2009. Its flower color is pure, a typical "Chinese red," rarely seen among roses, beautiful and festive. The flower shape is round and neat, like an apple, hence the name. Its flowers are very full and can stay closed without opening for a week. If picked and placed in a vase, they can last ten days without fading, making it an excellent cut flower.

Free-flowering and diligent

Japanese roses all have one trait: an especially long flowering period, and Red Apple is no exception. It blooms in all four seasons, is very diligent, and produces many flowers. At peak bloom, the whole plant is covered in buds, opening one after another, and a single flowering period can last for several months, so the ornamental period is very long. Its flowers give off a mixed fragrance of old rose and tea, with a rich, full-bodied scent.

Beautiful and easy to grow

Red Apple has strong vitality and strong adaptability to the environment, with advantages such as heat tolerance, cold tolerance, and disease resistance. It is very easy to cultivate, and in most provinces of our country it can be planted in the ground outdoors. If grown as a potted ornamental at home, it only grows to about 35 cm, belonging to the dwarf shrubs, small and exquisite, with a beautiful plant shape. Placed on a balcony, in a living room, or on an office desk, it has a very good decorative effect.

Enjoy the flowers and the scent

There are not many flowers that bloom in pure red (flag red), and Red Apple is one of them. It is praised as the red rose most worth getting, ranking alongside the famous Carola. By comparison, it is more free-flowering and belongs to the large-flowered miniature rose. It can also be grown in balcony pots, satisfying the regret of many balcony growers who cannot plant in the ground. Since its launch in 2009, it has been widely praised and is a variety well worth getting.
