How to make a rose from maple leaves, wood step by step. Master class for beginners

Have you ever seen a rose tree? This is a delightful sight that will not leave indifferent even those who have never had a weakness for flowers and landscape design. A rose bush, shaped like a tree, looks very rich and sophisticated - whether in modest solitude or in the company of its own kind.

What kind of miracle is this? – an impatient reader will ask after looking at the photo of pink trees. And he will probably think about the latest achievements of breeders. But everything is much simpler - this is a man-made beauty called “standard roses”, which so easily charms and captivates with its magnificence, making our world more beautiful. By the way, you can easily form a standard with your own hands (we have already written on this topic). So you can achieve an amazing effect yourself, simply by using the information presented in this article.

What leaves are roses made from?

For an autumn bouquet, it is recommended to choose wide, not hard leaves:

• maple;
• linden;
• birch;
• viburnum;
• chokeberry;
• poplars.

In this case, the foliage should be intact, without obvious damage, and not dry. The material must be malleable and easily take a new shape. The leaves must be aesthetically beautiful: the same or similar color shade, so the color scheme of the bouquet must be thought out in advance.

Procurement of natural material

How to make a rose from leaves so that it lasts for more than one day - prepare the material correctly:

• wash the leaves;

• place on a towel;
• Dry a little to drain off excess water.

The main thing is not to dry out the foliage. Otherwise, it will break and become deformed when creating a rose.

Crafts for the kitchen

Plywood fits perfectly into the kitchen interior. It can be turned into a container for storing dry foods - cereals, leaves, peas and beans, etc. You can store cutlery in a plywood jar.

Plywood napkin holders, bread vases, baskets and trays look interesting.

From maple leaves

For roses, it is better to choose large maple leaves; too small ones will not work. Within one bouquet, the color scheme of the buds may differ, but for one rose it is recommended to select leaves of the same tone.

Step-by-step instruction:

1. Creation of the core. The first sheet is folded horizontally in half, leaving the front side on the outside. They roll it up tightly and hold it tightly with their fingers, but do not fix it with anything yet.

2. Creating petals. Place the whole sheet face down on the resulting core. Bend it horizontally so that the stamen is 1–1.5 cm below the bend, and iron it well. The remaining protrusion is also bent, but not smoothed. The side parts of the maple leaf are wrapped around the core, as if wrapping it in a blanket. The remaining edges are pinched at the base.

3. Creation of the second petal. Take another leaf and do all the same steps, but place this petal on the opposite side. Fix the petals with a thread at the base.

4. Creating a bud. Add the required number of maple leaves until the bud size is sufficient. The main thing is not to forget to fasten the petals of the future rose with a thread at the base so that the entire bud is strong and does not fall apart.

5. The number of buds determines the size of the bouquet. When all the buds are ready, they can be tied with a beautiful ribbon or decorated with maple leaves.

The shape of the wedge leaf allows you to form a flower in another way:

• the core is made as in the previous version;
• take the sheet and bend its central part inside the wrong side;
• wrap the core with this sheet so that the edge of the previous sheet falls in the middle of the next one;
• continue to form the bud until it reaches the desired size;
• The base of the flower is fixed with thread.

Openwork box

If you already know how to cut simple crafts from plywood with a jigsaw, then you can try making an openwork box. Ready-made drawings for crafts made from plywood are easy to find on the Internet. The box can be chosen to suit every taste. All you have to do is cut it out according to the drawings and modify it. The cut parts are sanded.

The pattern is transferred to the box using a stencil. A starting hole is drilled using an electric drill. Next, the pattern is cut out with a jigsaw and blade. All cuts must be thoroughly sanded.

When all the parts are ready, the box begins to be assembled. All elements of the product can be fastened with a furniture stapler or nails. All joints must be taped. To secure the lid you will need metal hinges.

The box can become a faithful keeper of your favorite little things.

From chokeberry leaves

Chokeberry leaves turn red and brown in autumn, making them suitable for creating bright bouquets. On average, one bud takes 19 leaves, but it is better to have a small supply of them. In addition to the leaves themselves, you will also need a small twig (twig) from the same tree.

How to create a rose from chokeberry leaves:

1. Core twisting. Take a small twig and wrap it with a leaf, with the front side facing inward. The base of the core is held with your fingers.
2. Creating petals. Take the second leaf and bend it around the stamen, then take the next leaf, gradually forming a bud. The front side of the leaves faces the core.
3. Creating a bud. When the flower has reached the desired size, its base is fastened with thread or wire. The rose petals are folded back, fluffing the resulting flower.
4. The branches located at the base of the core allow you to form a bouquet that can be placed in any convenient container.

Volumetric figures

Plywood makes magical 3D models. They can take the form of birds, animals, vehicles, landmarks, people. 3D modeling recreates paintings and scenes of any complexity.

Now they can be found on sale in almost any office supply store. The finished figurine will undoubtedly decorate the room.

From birch leaves

Birch leaves, both in shape and structure, are well suited for creating roses. For one bud you will need to collect 7-8 leaves of large, medium and small sizes. The color scheme of the material should match, while the soft yellow leaves will allow you to create original tea-colored roses.

Flower making technology:

1. The sharp tip is cut off, giving the leaf a rounded shape.
2. Several leaves (4–5) are folded so that one slightly covers the other. Roll them up into a roll - the stamen of a flower.

3. First small, then medium, then large birch leaves are placed in a circle around the core, with the front side inward, thus forming a bud.

4. To make the composition strong, the base of the bud is periodically fixed with thread.

5. Finally, the edges of the petals are folded back, which gives the flower a more finished and natural look.
6. Decorate the rose with any green leaves.

Crafts with children

The lightest plywood crafts are created using purchased blanks and acrylic paint. Buy a plywood blank - it can be a cockerel, a star, a Christmas tree, a heart or a bow. Color it with your child.

If you make a small hole in the top of the craft, you can thread a ribbon and hang it on the tree. It’s so easy and relaxed to make New Year’s crafts from plywood.

From leaves of different trees

When autumn has just begun and there is not much yellowed foliage yet, a flower can be made from leaves of different tree species.

To create the composition “Rose in a Pot” you will need the following materials:

• bright, beautiful, preferably large leaves (loach, maple, aspen or any other) - 15–20 pcs.;
• green maple leaves - 2 smaller, 3-4 larger;
• juice straw (medium size);
• a twig (twig) with leaves in diameter slightly smaller than the juice tube (the tube should fit over it);
• elastic bands for weaving;
• Double-sided tape;
• PVA;
• Polish for hair;
• rose pot;
• plasticine or modeling mass (for fixing the rose);
• earth or ground pine cones.

Step-by-step master class:

1. Place the tube on the future stem and measure the size so that the bud holds well and does not dangle on the branch.
2. Take two leaves, cut off the uneven edges to make petals, and wrap them around the tube with the front side facing out. Tuck the edges so that the hole from the tube is not visible.
3. To form the petals, cut off the remaining leaves and apply them to the core with the front side inward, so that when you bend the leaf, its beautiful part is visible. The edges of future petals are folded.

4. Each leaf is secured with an elastic band for weaving. Form a bud of the desired size.
5. Place the tube with the finished bud on the twig; if the flower does not sit tightly, then PVA can be poured into the tube.
6. A receptacle is made from green maple leaves. A larger leaf, leaving the upper teeth, is cut in a semicircle along the bottom. The receptacle is attached to the base of the bud with the teeth facing upward and secured with an elastic band. A strip with a gradual narrowing is cut out of another sheet, attached to tape, and then the flower is wrapped, hiding the elastic band and the uneven protruding edges of the receptacle.
7. Fix the finished rose in any beautiful pot, fixing it with plasticine or modeling mass. Decorate the top of the pot with earth or ground pine cones.
8. Carefully treat the rose and stem with hairspray, which will allow it to retain its original appearance.

The best varieties and their characteristics

Shrub roses are very diverse in their species composition. You can find a copy for every taste and color. But some of the most popular bush roses are those bred by breeder D. Austin. These are the so-called English roses, which combine the genes of floribunda, Bourbon rose and hybrid tea.

For example, the Spirit of Freedom variety has a truly gorgeous appearance: flowers with an abundance of cup-shaped petals, which become lilac in color as the plant develops. This garden rose is resistant to many diseases. The bush grows up to 2.5 meters in height.

The Albrighton Rambler is another wonderful musky cultivar discovered by David Austin. This rose blooms profusely with white flowers collected in inflorescences up to 5 centimeters in diameter. There is a button in the middle of the flower. This rose is resistant to rain, and its leaves are resistant to many diseases.

Abrahamdarby is a climbing rose with heavy peach flowers that bend the shoots downwards. Benjaminbritten is a low bush with bright rosette red flowers. A very unpretentious variety that is resistant to fungi. It only dislikes heavy rainfalls, which spoil the crown of the bush.

Shrub roses, which belong to the Shrubs class, are popular. Westerland is a rose variety of this class, which is interesting because it can be grown both as an upright specimen and as a climbing rose. The shoots reach 3.5 meters, the leaves are complex, glossy, dark green. The flowers can be from light yellow to pink, semi-double and very large. They reach a diameter of 10 cm. One flower lives for about 5 days.

There are popular varieties of French roses.

They differ from other types in the following features:

• predominantly small-flowered;
• shoots are directed upward;
• double flowers in red shades;
• amazing aroma;
• many small sharp thorns.

Prominent representatives of French roses are varieties such as “Galika” and “Cardinal Richelieu”. The latter have an interesting double-sided flower color: one side is purple and the other is pink. Hybrid tea roses have small bushes and two flowering periods with a short break. The flowers are large - up to 10 cm in diameter. They are very suitable for decorating small home areas. The variety of hybrid tea rose “Flamingo” has a soft pink color, as the name implies. The flowers are solitary, the flowering period is very long - from the beginning of June to the very frost.

"Big Purple" is a wonderful representative of the purple hybrid tea rose. The flower has 35 petals, up to 15 centimeters in diameter. It is a fairly frost-resistant species and, despite its somewhat exotic nature, is suitable even for growing in the conditions of the Moscow region. "Floribunda" is another popular type of spray rose. Its varieties are very winter-hardy, which makes it possible to use floribunda as a park plant. Flowers are collected in inflorescences.

"Lily Marlene" are plants with bright red flowers up to 8 cm in diameter. The bushes reach half a meter in height and are characterized by their abundant greenery. Almost not susceptible to any diseases except powdery mildew. They are perfect for any site and have another enviable advantage - a very long flowering period. "Lily Marlene" blooms all summer.

“Niccolò Paganini” is more suitable for warm regions of the country. Very beautiful burgundy flowers have a velvet structure. There are about 12 buds in the inflorescence. For this variety to develop well, it requires fairly fertile soil.

Speaking about bush roses, one cannot fail to mention climbing varieties that are very popular for landscape design. For example, Excelsa, known and loved by many gardeners. The variety is very old, it was bred at the beginning of the 20th century. This beautiful rose has bright pink flowers with a fragrant, stunning aroma. It grows very quickly. The undoubted decorative qualities of this rose are accompanied by absolute unpretentiousness and ease of care. "Excelsa" easily tolerates frosts and grows in unfertilized soils.

Making bouquets from natural materials

The resulting buds can be arranged into beautiful bouquets:

1. Maple roses are decorated with large leaves of the same tree, and the color scheme can be very variegated and differ from the color of the buds. To make the leaves even and beautiful, they are ironed, placed between sheets of paper. The prepared leaves are carefully wrapped around the maple buds and secured at the base with a thread. You can decorate the place of fixation with adhesive or rag tape of a suitable shade.
2. The flower arrangement will look good in a “vase” made of natural material. For this, half a pumpkin, previously peeled and dried, or a basket woven from newspaper tubes is suitable. You can supplement the composition with bunches of rowan berries, cones, and leaves of other trees.
3. If you attach stable cuttings from twigs (branches) to the buds and wrap them with adhesive or rag tape of a suitable color, then such a bouquet can be placed in an ordinary tall vase, decorating it with sprigs of asparagus, bergrass or gypsophila.

How to organize a rose garden on your property step by step

To ensure that the flowers in the flowerbed do not lose their beauty, the area must be properly decorated.
Organizing the process step by step will save time and money. In the early stages, you can predict the slightest problems, so you should not abandon the sequence of measures. Rose on a high trunkSource domvpavlino.ru

Place

For a rose garden in a dacha, you need an area that is as open as possible for viewing. Choose a place in the garden, near the main entrance or in a recreation area. If you hide expensive varieties and a complex structure in a remote corner, then the owners will not be able to enjoy a pleasant view.

A capricious flower will not throw out buds if there is a lack of sun. Lack of rays negatively affects the shade intensity, size and health of crops. The bushes are drawn towards the light source and deform unsightly. For roses in landscape design, proximity to thick trees and high fences is contraindicated.

Plants feel uncomfortable near the walls of buildings, especially on the western and northern sides. Unprotected from the bright sun, a rose garden in a dacha withers and burns within a few days. The ideal option for the location of the structure is 4 hours of lighting before and after lunch. Gardeners recommend a southern, windless slope.

The soil

Roses in landscape design develop in an area with fertile soil. Wetlands and options with close groundwater are not suitable. The flower lives without problems in light loam, which has an acidity of pH 5-6 units. Before planting plants in the soil, they dig it up, add fertilizers (organic or mineral), and leave it for 90 days to settle.

Plan

If you think about the structure of the rose garden at your dacha in advance, then there will be no problems when planting. Decorative structures and flowers along the paths should not interfere with the movement of people. The parameters of the site and the distance to the nearest structures are noted on paper. The drawing will also help you choose the shades of plants and find optimal neighbors.

There are two types of layouts for roses in landscape design:

• Embossed. Clear boundaries and correct geometric shapes are observed, complex compositions and solo plantings are used. All elements are interconnected and emphasize the beauty of all plants.
• Landscape. The rose garden at the dacha looks like a natural extension of nature. Suitable for small areas.

Style

When decorating a flower garden, always adhere to style. For the ceremonial direction, bright buds and contrasting combinations are chosen. The entrance or path in white and red looks impressive. Yellow-orange roses in landscape design give the space a solemn sound.

The romantic style prefers classic varieties and shades and does not like sharp transitions. Pastel colors and gradients from delicate purple to white dominate here. To decorate a flower garden, choose a secluded area or a place that is significant to the owner.

Variety of varieties and varieties of garden roses on a standard

Roses on a trunk are amazing plants that add beauty and completeness to landscape compositions

Rose bushes on a trunk set the desired height for flower beds, borders, and serve as a solitaire for a flower arrangement, which attracts attention thanks to the luxurious blooming of roses. Low-growing standard trees are used to decorate flowerpots in patio gardens, on alpine hills, as well as in flower beds of any configuration and size.

A standard rose can decorate any area

A rose tree is a man-made miracle created by grafting by real artists. In the photo you can admire the variety of forms of standard roses, which were grown with love and patience by flower growers from different countries.

To create a pink tree, you can use varieties that meet the following requirements:

1. The bush of the mother plant has a symmetrical compact or weeping shape.
2. The growth pattern of the shoots should allow it to maintain a compact shape as the bush grows.

Standard roses are grown by grafting on a single stem, creating a weeping shape when the branches hang down freely, as well as a compact shape, sometimes a given geometric shape, which is maintained by timely pruning.

The rootstock for standard roses is usually rose hips, which are adapted to cold winters and form a strong root system.

Alley of standard roses

To create a rosewood trunk, the varieties of low-growing garden roses Grouse and Nozomi are used. For weeping forms of standard roses, climbing roses Ballerina or Canary Bird are used.

Low-growing, compact, standard roses for patios are grown from dwarf varieties of floribunda roses, which have a fairly large glass with a small bush size and brightly colored petals. A rose tree can be grown from own-rooted plants, using regular pruning to form the crown.

Standard roses can have different colors and bud sizes

The variety of standard roses offered by modern floriculture farms from domestic and foreign companies allows you to choose a rose tree suitable for planting in any garden, with a certain standard height, required flowering mode and flower color. The most famous varieties of standard roses, which are widely popular among gardeners, are:

miniature rose Knirp (delicate pink flowers);

Variety Knirp

• classic variety “Immensee” with mother-of-pearl petals;
• "Catherine Deneuve" (glowing apricot petals);
