Tea, deciduous or semi-evergreen creeping shrubs, climbing stems, green stems, stems with barbs, pinnately compound leaves, oval leaflets with many lateral veins, forming wrinkles. In early summer, the flowers are solitary, large, white, wine yellow and fiery red, but mostly white, single petal, fragrant but not strong.
Tea has good color and fragrance. If its vines are pulled overhead, they can become excellent ornamental flowers and trees for vertical greening and propagate through underground stems. Produced in China, few people know it now, but it was a very famous flower and tree in ancient times. Desperate loneliness is the most lasting, profound and unique of all flowers. Tea is the last blooming flower in the flower season. After the tea is boiled, there is no fragrance on earth.
Breeding and cultivation
Tea flowers are propagated by layering or cutting. Tea cultivation has many similarities with other roses and rose cultivation, but it is more extensive than rose management. Plant spacing should not be less than 2m. From germination in early spring to flowering period, water 3 ~ 4 times as appropriate according to weather conditions to keep the soil moist. If the drought at this time will greatly reduce the number of flowers, then the summer drought will be watered 2 ~ 3 times.
Pay attention to timely drainage and flood control in rainy season. Because roses are afraid of waterlogging, waterlogging is easy to rot their roots. Water should be poured 2 ~ 3 times in autumn as appropriate. Be careful not to accumulate water in the roots of plants when watering all year round. Apply 1 ~ 2 times pancake fertilizer and water in bud stage, with good color and lasting flowering period. Pruning is an indispensable and important process in tea landscaping and shaping, which grows into a pile of thorns and is uneven, not only with many pests and diseases, but also with ugly appearance.
