A Flowering Family since 1899 A special thankyou goes out to Weeks Roses, Star Roses, Bailey Nursery, and Spring Meadow Nursery. Most of the pictures and descriptions came from these fine companies. Without them the rose book and our gardens would not be as colorful. Please refrain from reproducing this rose book. We are happy to make more at no cost to you. We could not fit all of the rose descriptions and photos in the book. A list of all the roses we grow for 2019 starts on page 7.

1530 S. Webster Ave. Green Bay, WI 2 920 436 6363 schroederflowers.com What are the different types of roses?

Hybrid Tea

One of the most popular rose types; these are tall, long-stemmed roses ideal for cutting-- the roses you usually see at the florist. The flowers are usually borne individually as one to a stem, rather than in clusters like the floribundas or grandifloras. Blooms have a high- center point. In the garden, they are often featured as single specimens or in a traditional rose cutting garden. Many varieties reveal a beautiful fragrance.

Floribunda

These super bloomers can make any garden design stand out with the most colorful of rose types. Developed during the last century, these bushy shrubs have the large, showy blossoms of the hybrid teas, but bloom more freely, setting clusters of three to fifteen blossoms rather than a single bloom on a stem. Floribundas are versatile as an individual shrub that will fit easily into almost any sunny planting. However, they are perhaps most striking in mass plantings.

Grandiflora A grandiflora is a cross between a floribunda and a hybrid tea. Grandifloras are tall elegant plants which bloom repeatedly during the season, and generally feature classic hybrid tea flower clusters with stems which are slightly shorter than those of hybrid teas.

Shrub & Landscape These roses have changed the way many people view roses. Shrub roses, especially when compared with traditional varieties, are impressive for many reasons: their natural disease- resistance, their willingness to grow in a variety of climates with a minimum of attention from the gardener, their compact growth habit (very little pruning required), not to mention the great beauty of their flowers, which are borne consistently over a very long season. Com- ing in all shapes and sizes, shrub and landscape roses work well in any landscape. Landscape roses grow close to the ground, like ground cover, and have a very spreading habit. Many of the hardy shrubs that survive Wisconsin winters are on their own roots.

Climbers Climbing roses help dress up any garden. They produce long, arching canes with numerous flowers that can be trained to a trellis, fence, or other supporting structure. Grow them up and over an arching trellis to make a striking entryway or train them up a lattice to adorn a plain wall. Many introductions in the past few years include varieties that are hardy for zone 4 and yes, still bloom wonderfully.

Miniatures Perfection on this scale can't fail to captivate! Miniature roses are the smallest of rose plants, growing anywhere from six inches to two feet tall. This rose type is tough, flowers continuously, and is perfect for container gardening. These gems also make lovely borders, and solve the space problem for those with a small yard or balcony. Miniatures are grown on their own root.

Tree Roses Tree roses are made up of a hardy root stock grafted to a long stem that is, in turn, grafted to a rose bush at the top of the stem. They are very elegant lining a walkway or as a feature amongst other plantings. The tree rose is a lovely addition to the garden, but extra care is needed to insure its survival over winter. We have an excellent selection of colors in two different sizes 24” and 36” heights. Many people will leave the tree rose in a container on the patio all summer long.

1530 S. Webster Ave. Green Bay, WI 4 920 436 6363 schroederflowers.com Winter Care of Roses

Winter protection is important to make sure your plants are healthy going into winter. Healthy plants have a better survival rate during our severe winters. In the fall, leave the last blooms on the plant so hips will form (decorative seed pods). When the rose has hips, growth will slow and dormancy will prevail.

WINTER PROTECTION FOR:

Hybrid Teas, Floribundas, Grandifloras and Miniatures : 1. After 3 frosts of 28 degrees, tie all the canes together to protect them from wind damage. NOTE: Do not prune rose bushes in the fall.

2. Sanitation practices play a big part in raising roses. Remove all diseased leaves from the plant and ground area during the growing season and before winter dormancy to prevent infestations of pest and fungal organisms. If recycling rose collars, be sure to disinfect them before use so diseases harbored from the previous year, do not re-infect the plants.

3. Apply systemic insecticide and fungicide to the rose canes and soil surface until the first frost. This will provide the plant with some protection against fungal growth over the winter. Dormant oil spray will act as a protective coating on the plant, to help prevent fugal growth.

4. Cover the crown of each plant with a soil, bark mulch, or cocoa bean mulch mound about 10” high to protect against frequent temperature changes and extreme cold, which will cause injury to the roses. Schroeder’s Plant Doctors recommend using a rose collar, which is 9” high and 12 inches wide to prevent the mound from spreading out and not giving the proper insulation for the roses. Or you can construct your own collar. If you are using rose cones, you can prune just enough to get the roses under the cone. The soil or mulch should be mounded as mentioned in step #4 - make sure there are holes in the top and side of the cone to provide air movement. NOTE: There are limited results with using rose cones.

5. After the mound has frozen in the late fall, generally around Thanksgiving, pile marsh hay, straw or leaves over the mounded canes and between the rose bushes. Hold the material in place by covering with some soil. These materials help keep the soil temperature constant pre- venting premature thawing and re-freezing resulting in heaving of the soil which snaps the roots. NOTE: Remove the mulch in the spring, on a gradual basis, after danger of severe frost is past to prevent damage caused by poor air circulation.

5 English Roses: These roses have a stronger survival rate than the previously mentioned roses. Good results have been reported with a minimal amount of protection such as following steps 1 - 4. Some people have had a high survival rate just raking a good amount of leaves around the plants.

Climbing Roses: Follow steps 1 - 3 then lay all the canes to the ground and hold with wire pins or notched stakes. Cover the entire plant (canes and all) with several inches of soil, bark mulch or cocoa bean mulch. After the soil or mulch has frozen cover the soil with marsh hay or straw. Remove the mulch on a gradual basis in the Spring after danger of frost. NOTE: Schroeder’s Plant Doctors recommend winter hardy shrub/climber roses do not need winter protection: Henry Kelsey, William Baffin, John Cabot, from the Explorer Series.

Tree Roses: Option #1: You planted the tree in the ground: After three times the frost was 28 degrees, dig carefully under the roots on one side of the plant until the plant can be completely laid on the ground. This must be done very carefully to prevent breaking all root connections with the soil. Cover the entire plant with several inches of soil or bark mulch. After the soil or mulch freezes, cover with marsh hay or straw. In the spring after danger of frost, gradually remove the mulch and set the plant upright.

Option #2: You left the tree in it’s pot: After three 28 degree frosts dig a trench in an empty space in the garden 8 inches deep and long enough to fit the height of the rose and pot. Lay the rose in the trench and cover with an old sheet; then cover with the soil removed from the trench. After the ground has frozen, rake over with leaves, cover with straw, or marsh hay. Dig up in the spring after danger of hard frost is past. NOTE: Make sure to mark where the rose is located so as not to accidentally cut it in half in the spring!

Option #3: You left the tree in it’s pot: After three 28 degree frosts, bring the pot into an attached unheated garage. Wrap the entire plant, pot and all, with old sheets or burlap and set up on blocks so it’s not sitting on the cold floor. Make sure to water well before storing and check monthly if it needs to be watered. Re- move from the garage after danger of hard frost in spring. NOTE: This is the least effective of the three options. Rose survival rate is not 100%.

Shrub Roses: Hybrid rugosa roses do not need winter protection. Other shrub roses could benefit from a mound of bark mulch placed around the base of the plant 4-6 inches deep after three 28 degree frosts. Be sure to remove the extra mulch in the spring after danger of a hard freeze has passed.

1530 S. Webster Ave. Green Bay, WI 16 920 436 6363 schroederflowers.com The Knock Out Rose Family: the new generation of disease resistant continuous blooming shrub roses!

Without a doubt Bill Radler has revolutionized the concept of what great garden roses should be, hardy, disease-free and floriferous, with the development of the Knock Out rose. Many gardeners concur that he single-handedly brought rose genetics from the 20th-century into the 21st- century. ‘Knock Out’, Bill Radler's first commercial rose breeding success and a 2000 AARS winner, has broken all records for sales of a new rose.

Background of the Knock Out Rose:

Knock Out rose was developed by long-time Wisconsinrose breeder William Radler. William Radler began first working on his breeding efforts for the Knock Out rose about 20 years ago in the 1980's. His focus was on developing a repeat blooming rose that was highly disease resistant and cold hardy. In the early stages of his breeding career, he raised about 600 seedlings a year under fluorescent lights in his basement.

In 1988, Radler crossed seedlings of Carefree Beauty and Razzle Dazzle, both hardy roses with good disease resistance. In 1992, the Conard-Pyle Company / Star Roses began testing the plant. In 2000, it won the prestigious All -America Rose award, and the company introduced it that same year. Knock Out quickly became the fastest selling new rose in history, with 250,000 sold the first year alone. William Radler has continued his efforts and work on the Knock Out rose developing new sister varieties that include: Double Knockout, Double Pink Knock Out, Sunny Knock Out and Rainbow Knockout.

Appearance of the Knock Out Rose:

Knock Out (PP 11,836 cut. ‘Radars’) is a shrub rose that grows about 3 feet tall and wide. It produces terminal clusters of single, 3-inch diameter cherry red blooms. As long as it continues to grow through the summer, it will continue to bloom. Some claim it’s one of the longest blooming roses on the market. It’s not well suited for use as a cut flower and the blooms only have a light tea rose fragrance. Forget about ever having to care for this rose with its bullet-proof foliage that completely repels Blackspot and mildew and its compact shape that only requires an annual trim to stay neat and clean. Periodic dead-heading of spent blooms will encourage this pro- lific bloomer to continue providing you with a colorful show all season long.

Uses for Knock Out Roses:

Knock Out Roses really shine when used as flowering hedges, foundation plants in perennial beds and borders, in a large patio container or adjacent to an entryway. The compact shape and form of the Knock Out rose works well with ornamental grasses, evergreens and other ornamental plants. Our nursery is located in a USDA zone 5b gardening zone and we have had Knock Out roses blooming well into November!
