Kalistegiya terry (or, as it is also called, Siberian rose) is a very beautiful flower that will be an excellent complement to any garden. It really looks like a rose, only it begins to bloom in the first year after planting, which is its main advantage. It is a lianoid plant, and in each of its sinuses with leaves a flower is necessarily formed. However, to obtain the maximum effect of decorating the garden with the help of Kalistegii, it will only be possible by providing it with all the necessary conditions for growth and development, which will be discussed later.
Choosing a landing site
Despite the fact that in our gardens the specified plant practically does not occur, this does not mean that it will be bad there. All that is needed is to choose a properly lit area with an optimal soil composition. 
Lighting
Kalistegia is a vine that prefers the most lighted places.that she simply needed for abundant and luxurious flowering. 
Try to avoid the shady areas located near the houses or high fences, because it only postpones the beginning of flowering (about two weeks), and the flowers themselves will not be as bright as we would like.
Familiarize with such plants of the family convolvulaceae such as climbing rose, wisteria, Campsis, actinidia, petistal hydrangea, decorative honeysuckle, clematis, Schizandra Chinese.
The soil
Kalistegia takes root quite well in any type of soil, but most of all she likes light and nutritious soils. So, with sufficient content in the land of useful trace elements, the plant will be able to grow in it for about 10 years.
It is also important that the substrate is sufficiently loose, with free air circulation. To do this, it is thoroughly digged with a shovel to the “single-bay” depth and only after that complex mineral fertilizers are applied per 2 tablespoons per 1 m², with the addition of several glasses of ash or dolomite flour.
All these components are diligently mixed in the planting pit, after which the planting is performed. The time when you need to plant calistegy is chosen on the basis of personal considerations, but it is worth remembering that the plant survives better during spring planting.
Planting seedlings
In a trench excavated and properly prepared (a depth of 20–25 cm is sufficient), pre-rooted districts of rhizomes are placed, placing them at a distance of 20 cm from each other.
Thus, it is possible to root or plant stalks, but in this case it is better to cover them with dry leaves, spruce leaves or covering material for the winter. 
Seedlings placed in the ground should be well buried and a little tamped, watering abundantly on top of the water.
Reproduction by root shoots
Kalistegiya terry is subject to reproduction only by vegetative means. There are no problems with obtaining planting material, since in the process of growth the plant gives a lot of root processes. For reproduction, it is enough to carefully dig up the young process, trying not to break the stems, and plant it in a pre-selected and prepared place. 
Important! Most often, it is the part of the horizontal rhizome that separates the vertical stems from.
You, of course, can only separate a vertical sprout, but for rooting it will necessarily need to be treated with a growth stimulator and placed in a microboat. In the autumn time, the separation procedure is much simpler, since there are specific guidelines - the stems.
There are no additional recommendations for breeding kalistegii.
Care Tips
Of course, even such an unpretentious plant as calistegia, has its own characteristics in the care and cultivation. All of them relate to several main aspects: watering, feeding, pruning and creating support. However, special attention should be paid to preparing vines for wintering, which we will also discuss later. 
Watering and feeding
To create spectacular and large flowers, the plant spends a lot of energy, so try to regularly feed the vine, thereby helping it in such a difficult task. The role of such fertilizers is perfect organic and mineral compounds, which should be alternated with each other. As for irrigation, it is not necessary to flood calistegy too much, because it is often enough for the usual amount of natural precipitation.
Although this curing applies only to adult plants, while young shoots need a sufficient amount of moisture, but without waterlogging.
Support
An important component of the care of the described plant is the timely creation of a support consisting of pillars and wire stretched between them.
Important! The diameter of the selected support should not exceed 10 cm, otherwise the vine simply cannot twist it..
Around the middle of June, the plant reaches a height of 1.5 m, after which its budding begins. If summer is not happy with its warmth, the grown up liana should be treated immediately with some fungicide that will help avoid the appearance of powdery mildew. By the way, it is much easier to perform the processing of bound calistegy. In addition, at the height of the buds will be less prone to attacks of slugs and snails.

Instead of a wire, you can use ordinary ropes or arrange supports for the stems from a large-mesh net.
Pruning
Approximately once in 7-10 days it is necessary to rid the calistegy from dried flowers on the branches. During the flowering period, it looks just charming, but the old buds can significantly spoil the overall look. Also, with the arrival of spring, weak young shoots are to be removed.
The ground part of the Siberian rose dies in autumn, which means it is more expedient to move on to pruning it after autumn frosts, when the plant already loses any decorative effect.
Did you know? 33% of all forests in the tropical zone of the Earth are made up of liana-like plants.
Wintering
Most often, Kalistegiya Terry calmly transfers the winter and does not need shelter, but if severe frosts are expected in your region, then it is better to be safe and cover it with natural or special material. Serious freezing of such vines has not yet been noticed.
Growing problems
Despite the fact that there are many advantages of growing terry Kalistegia, it is impossible not to recall the difficulties that often lie in wait for gardeners.
So, you should always remember about the unbridled growth of the rhizome, because if you allow it to grow without permission, then the plant will quickly turn from a beautiful creeper into an ordinary weed, which, moreover, is very difficult to cope with. Therefore, it is better to immediately establish specific boundaries that can restrain the growth of rhizomes.
For example, you can put an old bucket without a bottom in the landing hole, or put slate, metal or other durable material around its perimeter. It is necessary to work a little once, and in the future you will not have problems with the Siberian beauty. 
The second, no less relevant problem in growing calistegia terry is the invasion of snails and slugs, which eat not only flowers but also the leaves of the plant, and the poisonousness of the vines does not bother them at all. To get rid of pests, it is necessary to periodically treat plantings with chemical compounds (for example, 5% granular metaldehyde).
Transplant rules
It is possible that in the process of growing vines you will need to transplant it from one place to another, but the first thing to consider before performing this task is the time of year. So, in no case can this plant be relocated to another site in the summer, because it is during this period that it is actively developed, and transplantation can easily destroy it. Spring transplantation, by contrast, can be very helpful.
However, given that the Siberian rose is able to successfully grow in one place for about 10 years, the main task of the gardener is to initially choose the right place for her future growth. It is desirable that no flowers grow next to it, because, being an aggressor plant, kalistegiya quietly crush them under itself, quickly winning back flower beds and front gardens.
This plant constantly stretches to the sun's rays, and no obstacles can stand in its way. Therefore, even if it grows apart, it is better to dig up all the young root processes next to it, because otherwise in the next year you will have many additional problems.
Did you know? Record among the vines by the length of the shoots are considered to be rattan, or calamus, whose stem length often exceeds 300 m.
Use in landscape design
Like other lianas, calistegia terry is an excellent option for vertical landscaping of the site. It is often used to decorate mesh fences, pergolas, trellis and other small architectural forms. 
Particularly beautiful are the arches, tightly entwined with the luxurious flowers of the said liana. Since it is able to grow up to 4 m, it is very convenient to make a two-meter arch out of it and plant the plants in two opposite streams.
Kalistegiya can also serve as a hedge.
Combining several of these arches, you will get a delightful opening, which will visually expand the area of the site.
As you can see, Kalistegiya cannot be called too demanding a plant, but its planting, as well as further care, will require some knowledge from you, for which the creeper will fully thank for its lush flowering (as shown in the photos).
