Gathering berries all summer, admiring the flowers from spring to autumn - this is not a dream, but reality, if planting remontant varieties of berry crops or flowers on your homestead or summer cottage. The most famous are raspberries, strawberries and roses.
Remontance - this is the ability of plants to very long fruiting or flowering. If repairing varieties are created under favorable conditions, you can harvest all year long.
Breeders bred repairing varieties of raspberries, strawberries and roses. More recently, gardeners and gardeners were disappointed with the new varieties. In central Russia and in the northern latitudes, all newly planted outlandish plants were frozen. This situation occurred due to the fact that breeding work was carried out in warm countries.
Currently, Russian breeders have managed to breed raspberries, strawberries and roses that are resistant to harsh Russian conditions. With proper agricultural farming techniques and preparing plantings for winter, all varieties winter well and delight with their abundant harvest and a long period of fruiting and flowering.
The most important difference between repair plants and ordinary varieties is that the first berries of raspberries and strawberries appear at the very beginning of summer. Harvesting ends only with the onset of steady frost. Flowers and berries are formed not only on mother plants, but also on daughter plants, which allows harvesting almost continuously.
In mid-summer, the yield of the repairing varieties decreases slightly, but by the end of August it again sharply increases.
In order to harvest from the repairing varieties for a long time, it is necessary to ensure optimal conditions for this. Particular attention should be paid to the composition and fertility of the soil, as well as watering.
It is possible to save varietal signs of remontant strawberries only if the vegetative method of propagation by rosettes or by dividing the bush is provided. The same rule must be observed when propagating raspberries and roses.
The seed propagation method is used in specialized nurseries for breeding new repair varieties.
