Clematis of the Ruran variety stands out for its large buds, which have a pleasant aroma. The flower itself is usually pink in color with purple stripes, as well as elongated and elongated ends. You can also find white, lilac and bright purple buds. With good care, the plant develops well, and the flowers become very large, they can reach up to 20 centimeters in width. The flower's stamens are of an interesting color, they have a purple hue.

Clematis Ruran is very effective, as it is a liana that can reach up to 250-350 centimeters in length. On the petiole there is a collection of green plates, which have a light green tint in the sun. A pleasant feature is its high resistance to frost and frost, this variety can withstand temperatures up to +35 degrees.

Clematis Ruran: Landing Place

Clematis Ruran loves light and warmth, so the planting site must be well lit, and it must also be protected from strong winds and drafts. To prevent the soil from overheating, small crops should be planted under the root, which will shade the soil near the root system. When the roots overheat, the plant begins to wither, but to prevent this from happening, small bushes or other plants should be planted under the root of the vine.

The soil at the planting site should be fertile and saturated with many useful trace elements. Loamy soil, sandy soil is perfect for planting, as they are quite loose and perfectly permeable to oxygen and moisture. The acidity of the soil is not important for the variety, so there is no need to worry about it.
The transplant should be carried out in the spring or in the spring, since the plant will take root over the summer or winter.

Landing

• First, you need to dig a medium-sized hole, usually 70 centimeters wide and 75 centimeters deep.
• Due to the poor tolerance of excess moisture, a drainage system must be installed. It can consist of expanded clay or pebbles. Such a system should be about 20 centimeters. Then a layer of earth with wood ash, humus and 150 grams of complex feeding should be laid on top of the drainage.
• A small hill must be formed from the ground.
• On this hill, it is necessary to install the root system of the seedling and carefully spread it.
• Then the roots are covered with soil and tamped a little. The root neck should protrude 7 centimeters from the soil surface.
• Then the seedling is well watered and mulched using peat, soil or sawdust.
• Due to the fact that the length of the vine in the future may be about 3 meters, it will not be able to hold itself, therefore, it is necessary to put a support. The support can be some kind of iron installation, or an ordinary pillar of any diameter. Very often, planting is done next to buildings and the building itself serves as a support.

Top dressing of clematis of the Ruran variety

Clematis of the Ruran variety needs fertilization and this is done quite often. After planting, you can start fertilizing. In the early years, the plant will need nutrients, so various potash and phosphorus fertilizers are introduced. Top dressing is worn throughout the growing season, once every 2 weeks. You also need to make organic fertilizing, especially after the pruning has been carried out.

Watering

It is imperative to water the plant, since due to a lack of moisture, the bud in diameter will begin to decrease, and instead of 20 centimeters, they will be 8-12 centimeters. Clematis does not tolerate drought very well; during a period of lack of moisture, the plant becomes lethargic and loses its attractive appearance. One vine has 9-12 liters of water, watering should be done once a week. Watering may decrease or increase depending on weather conditions.

Pruning

For good growth and development of the plant, it must be cut off, and this must be done regularly. Ruran belongs to the second pruning group. This group includes the most beautiful varieties of clematis.
Buds appear on all branches, from last year and this year, but at the same time on the shoots from last year, the buds turn out to be more lush, as well as with a brighter color. Pruning should be done 2-3 times a year.

• The first pruning should be done in early June, when the variety has already begun to bloom. At this time, shoots from the year before last and last are cut off. Thus, the plant will not waste extra energy, but will direct them to the formation of buds on young shoots.
• The second pruning is carried out after the first frosts begin. Before covering the plant, it is necessary to cut off all excess parts, thereby carrying out sanitary pruning. First of all, dry shoots and diseased parts of the plant are removed. Then you need to shorten the remaining shoots to 70-90 centimeters in length.

Thus, the liana will more easily endure the winter period. After the spring time comes, the vines will begin to grow actively. During this period, it will grow rapidly and will grow all the shoots that were cut in the fall.
If pruned correctly, the duration of flowering will increase and you can enjoy the beauty of the buds until October.

Clematis Ruran: preparing for the winter period

Before covering the plant, it must be prepared. First you need to twist all the shoots and lay them on the ground. This will provide the shoots with protection and will survive the winter well. Then you need to cover the plant. Coniferous spruce branches, foliage, soil or peat can serve as a shelter. Agrofibre is perfect, but if in winter the temperature reaches -25 degrees. With the onset of spring, the entire structure is removed.

This variety belongs to crops that are highly resistant to frost. Because of this, mulching must be carried out in front of the shelter, in which peat, humus, sawdust and loose soil will serve as mulch.

Clematis Ruran breeding methods

There are four ways to breed clematis.

• Seeds.
  This method is used quite often, but this method has one negative side that must be taken into account. It lies in the fact that with such reproduction, you can get a completely different clematis, since the seeds do not retain the genetic data of the plant from which the seeds were taken.
• Division.
  But if you want to get large vines that will have lush flowers, you need to use division. Division is a method in which the root system is divided into several parts and planted separately. In the future, the bushes restore the root system and full-fledged plants are obtained.
• Cuttings.
  Reproduction using cuttings is also considered a popular method. It will need cuttings that will be cut off from an adult plant. These cuttings should be planted in holes and covered with peat.Then water well and cover with coniferous spruce branches. Such breeding is usually carried out in early autumn, so shelter is necessary to protect against further frost.
• Layers.
  The easiest way. It consists in the fact that the shoot of the plant is planted in a separate hole, watered well, mulched and wait until the root system is formed. This process takes about a year, after which the shoot is transplanted to a permanent place, thereby separating from the donor.

Diseases of clematis Ruran

This variety has a heightened immune system that can withstand a variety of diseases and pests. But sometimes the plant can be affected by fungal diseases. This usually happens due to improper maintenance and excessive introduction of moisture into the soil. The fungus spreads very quickly, first affecting the leaves, and then the root system, which leads to the death of the plant. Various fungicides or Bordeaux liquid will help cure the fungus.

Conclusion

I would like to sum up and say that the Ruran variety is an excellent plant that, with proper care, brings beautiful and lush buds. It is quite easy to grow this variety, just do not forget to take care of it.
