  • 10 Stupid Things...Gardeners Do to Mess up Their Rose Garden
    10 Stupid Things... ... gardeners do to mess up their rose garden by Carolyn Elgar Everyone makes mistakes. To err is human. So as much as any gardener refuses to admit it, you can bet they have done something stupid in their rose garden. Comfort yourself with the knowledge that everyone, even the most conscientious rose lover, has made one of these mistakes at some point in their history with roses. 1. Buy too many. If you truly love roses, you have definitely done this. You read about a new variety or see an incredibly healthy rose at a nursery. “I can find a place,” you say. Oops! When you get home and look around, you have to face the realization that, unless you tear up more of your lawn, there is no more room for one, not even a little one, rose bush in your garden. If you persist and sneak the newbie into the ground between two established roses or in front of a large bush you will pay the price. Mildews and rust will enjoy the increased humidity of all that foliage. Plus the young, new rose will have to fight for its share of water and fertilizer. 2. Throw away the label. This can happen in a number of ways. The label may fall off in the car. You may cut off a wired label that seems to be adversely affecting a cane’s health. And finally the name of the rose may be printed on the pot it came in and that pot disappears after you plant or repot the rose.

  • Marion Garden Rose Garden
    Marion Garden Rose Garden The Rose Garden is a work in constant change to demonstrate how to grow and maintain a variety of roses that are suitable for home gardens in the Willamette Valley. Selection of plants has been based on suitability for landscape use, resistance to disease, repeat blooming, and availability to the home gardener. If we find that a rose bush has a lot of disease problems or does not bloom well it is removed. The visitor will find mostly hybrid teas but also floribundas, grandifloras, shrub roses and an English (Austin) rose. There is also one upright climbing rose named ‘Antique’. Two clematis vines (Viola and Asso) have been planted on either side of the climbing rose trellis. Clematis are a good compliment to large climbing roses and add interest and color to the garden. All the rose bushes have ID tags which include the name of the rose, type, any awards it has received, name of the hybridizer, and the year the rose was introduced. There are a couple of roses that do not have ID tags because they were donated and names were not known. They are good disease resistant plants with a good bloom habit so are used for cuttings for rose propagation workshops. There is also a Lonicera fragrantissima (winter honeysuckle, January jasmine, or Chinese honeysuckle) growing on the northwest corner of the rose garden. It has fragrant white flowers in January and February. It was there when this garden was started and is a nice shrub for the home garden. It is pruned in the spring after it finishes blooming.

    OLD GARDEN ROSES AND BEYOND MATTHEW ORWAT UF/IFAS EXTENSION WASHINGTON COUNTY WHO WAS HUME? WHO WAS HUME? • 1904- Hume became Professor of Botany and Horticulture at the Florida Agricultural College in Lake City, Florida, University of Florida's predecessor. • Hume later became general manager Glen St. Mary Nurseries Company from 1917 to 1929, later serving as the company's president and then the chairman of its board of directors • 1930 rejoined the faculty of the University of Florida • 1938 appointed dean of the College of Agriculture • 1947 Hume was appointed the university's interim president ROSE PHILOSOPHY • “Rose time in the Lower South comes in spring and again in autumn” • Winter time is too cold, and while “everblooming varieties continue to flower during the summer throughout all the region, high temperatures and heavy rainfall in many sections make it difficult to secure good blooms” • Important to consider “too much shade, wrong exposure, and too many tree roots” • Sunlight is best: “for half the day, preferably early morning until noon, or better still for ¾ of the day is essential to success” ROSE PHILOSOPHY • Worst tree root issues: Roses cannot be pruned by rule: • Laurel Oak . Treat each bush as a separate living unit • Water Oak . Done in February for everblooming types • Camphor • Magnolia . Older shrub roses: cut out dead wood and twiggy growth is all that is necessary ROSES FOR EASE OF CARE • Hume had limited access to modern fungicides when book was published in 1929. • Most of the roses he recommended in his 1929 edition are still in commerce and available.
