  • A Study of Rose Care Treatment AUTHOR
    TITLE: Morris Arboretum Nursery Trial: A Study of Rose Care Treatment AUTHOR: Prima W. K. Hutabarat The Charles S. Holman Endowed Rose and Flower Garden Intern DATE: June 2012 ABSTRACT: The Arboretum’s IPM program has been striving to reduce pesticide use in the Rose Garden. In 2010, Justin Jackson, the Rose Garden Section Leader, proposed a sustainable landscape management plan that would incorporate compost tea into the Rose Garden’s IPM program. The study of improving the quality of the compost has been on-going. The intent of this project was to determine the efficacy of three organic fungicides. The project was divided into two phases, the pre-trial phase and trial phase. A treatment plan was applied from the end of spring until the end of fall, 2012. The four treatments for the trial were control (just water), compost tea, CEASE, and Green Cure. CEASE and Green Cure were sprayed onto the leaves once a week as recommended and compost tea was sprayed and drenched once a month. Black spot and downy mildew were found on almost all of the rose leaves or canes in the entire Rose Garden. As a fungal disease, the intensity of damage caused by black spot and downy mildew tends to be influenced mostly by weather conditions and the disease resistance of the rose varieties. Many hybrid tea, grandiflora, and floribunda roses are susceptible, whereas many of the shrub roses show more resistance. This observation also shows that the resistance level might be variable in different places and conditions. Nine weeks after planting, which includes four weeks of treatment that took place in early June, the rose plots did not have comparable treatment results in growth, vigor, and performance.

  • Diplocarpon Rosae) Genetic Diversity in Eastern North America Using Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism and Implications for Resistance Screening
    J. AMER.SOC.HORT.SCI. 132(4):534–540. 2007. Distribution of Rose Black Spot (Diplocarpon rosae) Genetic Diversity in Eastern North America Using Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism and Implications for Resistance Screening Vance M. Whitaker and Stan C. Hokanson1 Department of Horticultural Science, University of Minnesota, 258 Alderman Hall, 1970 Folwell Avenue, St. Paul, MN 55108 James Bradeen Department of Plant Pathology, University of Minnesota, 495 Borlaug Hall, 1991 Upper Buford Circle, St. Paul, MN 55108 ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS. AMOVA, dendrogram, fungal isolate, Jaccard’s coefficient, pathogenic race, principal component analysis ABSTRACT. Black spot, incited by the fungus Diplocarpon rosae Wolf, is the most significant disease problem of landscape roses (Rosa hybrida L.) worldwide. The documented presence of pathogenic races necessitates that rose breeders screen germplasm with isolates that represent the range of D. rosae diversity for their target region. The objectives of this study were to characterize the genetic diversity of single-spore isolates from eastern North America and to examine their distribution according to geographic origin, host of origin, and race. Fifty isolates of D. rosae were collected from roses representing multiple horticultural classes in disparate locations across eastern North America and analyzed by amplified fragment length polymorphism. Considerable marker diversity among isolates was discovered, although phenetic and cladistic analyses revealed no significant clustering according to host of origin or race. Some clustering within collection locations suggested short-distance dispersal through asexual conidia. Lack of clustering resulting from geographic origin was consistent with movement of D. rosae on vegetatively propagated roses. Results suggest that field screening for black spot resistance in multiple locations may not be necessary; however, controlled inoculations with single-spore isolates representing known races is desirable as a result of the inherent limitations of field screening.

    Plant Pathology Circular No. 327 Fla. Dept. Agric. & Consumer Serv. January 1990 Division of Plant Industry BLACK SPOT OF ROSE (ROSA SP.) Robert M. Leahy1 Roses have long been considered a premier flowering woody ornamental used extensively in gardens, landscapes, and in cut flower arrangements. They are grown commercially in containers, as field liners, and in greenhouses. The increasing popularity of roses over the years is due not only to their aesthetically pleasing shape and gentle fragrance but also to the extensive breeding of this flowering ornamental. Dozens of varieties are available today, each sporting its own unique form and color. Fig. 1. Early and late symptoms of black spot. Chlorosis follows infection and spots may coalesce as disease developes. Fig. 2. Severe infection of black spot showing minute black acuvuli. PATHOGEN: The most important disease of roses world wide is black spot caused by the fungus, Diplocarpon rosae Wolf. This disease is found in all areas of the world where cultivated roses are grown, but is seen rarely in glasshouse-grown rose crops (1). Black spot frequently reaches epidemic proportions on outdoor grown roses. Diplocarpon rosae is seen most commonly in its anamorphic or asexual state, Marssonina rosae (Lib.) Died. (1). Colorless, two-celled conidia (asexual spores) of M. rosae develop in subcuticular acervuli on leaves and young shoots during the summer months (4). As these spores germinate, they penetrate directly through the leaf cuticle and develop nutrient-absorbing haustoria in subcuticular tissues within 15 hours after infection (3,4). This fungal pathogen is specific to Rosa spp. and various races of Diplocarpon rosae have been described (4).

    Woody Landscape Plant Breeding in Minnesota (45º N): It’s not all about Cold Hardiness S.C. Hokanson, V.M. Whitaker, J.M. Bradeen, M.C. Long, S.K. Krebs*, R.A. Blanchette, J. Juzwik, K. Zuzek and S. McNamara University of Minnesota, St. Paul, MN, USA *Holden Arboretum, Kirtland, OH, USA Keywords: Rhododendron, powdery mildew, Cornus alternifolia, dogwood canker, Rosa ×hybrida, rose black spot Abstract The Woody Landscape Plant Breeding project at the University of Minnesota has been in existence since 1954. The project was initiated largely to develop an extended palette of cold-hardy woody landscape plants for northern landscapes. Since its inception, it has been responsible for the release of 49 woody plant cultivars including large stature shade trees, small stature flowering trees, shrubs, roses, and deciduous azaleas. Given the project’s success at building a cold-hardy germplasm pool for a number of woody taxa, recent breeding efforts have been directed towards other traits such as disease resistance in several plant taxa. Projects include an examination of the nature of resistance to powdery mildew disease (Microspharae spp.) in deciduous azalea (Rhododendron subg. Pentanthera (G. Don) Pojark) species and cultivars in both field and growth chamber studies; a physiological race and an Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism (AFLP) molecular characterization of the rose black spot pathogen (Diplocarpon rosae Wolf) and identification of resistance genes to the disease in cultivated rose (Rosa ×hybrida). Recently, a high- throughput screening protocol to facilitate the identification of resistance to golden canker disease incited by the fungal pathogen (Cryptodiaporthe corni (Wehm.) Petrak) in a tree native to the upper midwestern U.S., Pagoda dogwood (Cornus alternifolia L.) has been initiated.

The rose is known as the “Queen of the Flowers.” Gardeners have cultivated them for thousands of years. They were grown in Greek and Roman times and many cultivars descended from plants in ancient gardens in China, Persia or Turkey. Roses belong to the genus Rosa - they are part of a larger Rosaceae plant family. This family includes numerous blooming and edible plants, including apple, pear, cherry, peach, plum, hawthorn, strawberries, raspberries, cotoneaster, pyracantha, firethorn, potentilla, serviceberry and spirea. Selecting Roses Roses are classified by their growth habits and flowering characteristics. Select roses by size, shape, color, and desired bloom period.

  • Development of Diplocarpon Rosae on Different Rose
    DEVELOPMENT OF DIPLOCARPON ROSAE ON DIFFERENT ROSE CULTIVARS by CHRISTOPHER KNIGHT B.Sc. (Hull), M.Sc., D.I.C. (London) A thesis presented in part fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Science of the University of London. DECEMBER 1975 Department of Botany, Imperial College of Science and Technology, Silwood Park, Sunninghill, Ascot, Berkshire. - 1 - ABSTRACT The development of Diplocarpon rosae Wolf was examined principally on five floribunda rose cultivars: Allgold, Frensham, Iceberg, masquerade and Orange Sensation, both in the field and in the laboratory. A simple standard laboratory test using leaf discs was developed to evaluate the resistance of these cultivars to different isolates of D. rosae. The variability of isolates from different cultivars was demonstrated and distinct races or strains identified. The development of the disease on the five cultivars was followed in a field trial over two successive seasons. Disease initiation and increase was associated with infection periods similar to those used for forecasting apple scab outbreaks, but no simple relationship could be demonstrated between the rate of disease increase and the weather preceding an assessment of disease. The onset of the epidemic was also related to the availability of strains of D. rosae able to grow on the cultivars. The results are discussed in relation to race-specific and race-non-specific resistance of these cultivars. Experiments indicated that D. rosae could overwinter on fallen leaves either as conidia in existing acervuli or as a mycelium which gave rise to the perfect state. The collections of the acigerous stage of D.

Sequences of three rDNA regions, SSU, LSU, and 5.8S rDNA, were generated for 50 helotialean fungi, representing 11 out of 13 families in the current classiWcation. Data sets with diVerent compositions were assembled, and parsimony and Bayesian analyses were performed. The phylogenetic distribution of lifestyle and ecological factors was assessed. Plant endophytism is distributed across multiple clades in the Leotiomycetes. Our results suggest that (1) the inclusion of LSU rDNA and a wider taxon sampling greatly improves resolution of the Helotiales phylogeny, however, the usefulness of rDNA in resolving the deep relationships within the Leotiomycetes is limited; (2) a new class Geoglossomycetes, including Geoglossum, Trichoglossum, and Sarcoleo- tia, is the basal lineage of the Leotiomyceta; (3) the Leotiomycetes, including the Helotiales, Erysiphales, Cyttariales, Rhytismatales, and Myxotrichaceae, is monophyletic; and (4) nine clades can be recognized within the Helotiales.
