Rogers – a model garden survivor, remaining in one place for decades, because when landing requires careful attention to itself. Placing the plants, leave them a place “for growth”, which they slowly, but eventually, still occupy, forming a dense colony. Nursing is a great Rogers does not. Timely and ample watering, especially during periods of drought, mulching the soil around the bushes, if this Agrotechnical reception in your honor, that’s all short-lived. For lack of moisture leaf margins brown, and lose smartness. And if for some imagination, but also confirming the word of the song “Brigantine”, a large sheet of Rogers can be compared with the “Jolly Roger – a pirate flag, then let him twist” in the wind “is not desirable to not wear out prematurely, and the very” pole “do not break. Autumn “flags” removed (cut off at the soil surface).
All species can live safely in the 5 th climatic zone, and some in the 4-th, and they compare favorably with those from many outstanding plants which have become known through the expeditions to the warm countries, but they were hardy enough or too hard in the content. It is true that Rogers, the winter can safely endure frosts are very sensitive to spring frosts. Although their leaves and begin to grow quite late, in the early – mid-May, but due to enter only by June (showing even less reckless than the hosts), in some years, in the past, fortunately, more rarely, they are still under their fall. But then the “frostbite” plant, making a second dash, and recovers quickly develops lush vegetative mass, but flowering usually in this year not pampered. If you put plants in the shade, the leaves they will unroll later still and it will allow them to “escape” from frost.

Rogers, tolerant and open to the sun in the north (and our average band, on presentation of the Europeans, namely the north and is) and to the heat of southern gardens, if they grow in damp, even wet, marshy soil. Give them a lot of moisture, and they can grow even in the subtropics, and not only in the shadows, but also in the sun. Our florists usually put Rogers in poluzatenennyh places, but if necessary they can be obzhit and darker, and more open areas.
Rogers is best suitable place with a loose, fertile, diluted with peat, deeply cultivated soil, so that her long, powerful voracious roots malnourished. In addition, in the spring when the leaves begin flush, it would not hurt to make fertilizers containing nitrogen. Most suitable for Rogers pH is 5 – 6,5, ie soil should be sour, but it is such and spread our open spaces.

If several species and varieties of Rogers landed in a garden nearby, they are hybridized, as the merge of the population in nature. Many plants have been marketed, according to the author of American Encyclopedia shady perennials “VD Schmid, are interspecific hybrids, and not the result of breeders. In this case, garden Acquires impostors, but I must say that regardless of the “clean” is a plant or not, they will eventually grow into a spectacular garden hybrids. And you can select from among their copies with various shades of foliage and even give them names.

Because Rogers requires a few years in order to firmly establish themselves in the space provided to her place, Toona with great disapproval relates to the vain passion flower growers – endlessly drag their treasures from place to mesto.Esli do you need to propagate the plant, the bush is better not to bother, but “snatch away” from its edge piece. Do it immediately after flowering Rogers or late autumn. After 2 – 3 years after transplantation delenki reach normal size. Seed breeding is possible (they sow in the spring, after the warm weather, the soil), but they do not germinate, seedlings develop slowly and require careful watering, in addition, all species and varieties to grow on separate “apartments” (”communal” will not work ) so they do not pereopylyaetsya.

In Rogers, there are natural enemies – slugs and snails, which do not chew off its young leaves. They say that the plant can be damaged powdery mildew, but I do not see, even in the most “successful” for the development of this scourge of years.
