Rose Breeding Before introducing a new variety, its merits are carefully evaluated for such qualities Goals of rose as color, size, form, vase life, productivity, disease-resistance and fragrance. The breeding W. Kordes‘ Söhne rose breeding program is one of the largest in the world. Every year more than 100.000 fl owers using over 3.000 different combinations are • Disease resistance hand pollinated at the Kordes nursery. The seeds are harvested and planted and (against fungal diseases yield more than half a million seedlings. From this multitude of new roses, several such as black spot, thousand selections receive further evaluation and trialing. powdery and downy For garden roses, this trialing for disease resistance, fragrance, fl owering and vigor mildew) usually takes a minimum of seven years.

Independent examiners evaluate new varieties in 11 trial stations situated throughout Germany. Qualities such as resistance against disease, winter-hardiness, abundance of fl owers, fl ower form, fragrance and growth habit are scored. No plant protection sprays are used during the 3 year evaluations. The ADR-designation is one of the highest awards a rose variety can attain. Of 102 rose varieties which have received the ADR designation since the year 2000, 42 roses are bred by KORDES. 82 ADR-Rosen ADR – the name ADR stands for Allgemeine Deutsche Rosenneuheitenprüfung, where new rose varieties are rigo- rously tested without sprays for three years in eleven locations throughout Germany. Only varieties that have demonstrated excellent disease resistance and great garden performance can receive the ADR designation. The good health of ADR designated roses translates to care free roses for consumers and commercial landscaping purposes. ADR - the goals The goal of the ADR program is simple – give gardeners care free roses to enjoy. In addition to testing new rose varieties for disease resistance under the challenging Northern European climate; the ADR-competition additionally evaluates such qualities as winter-hardiness, abundance of bloom, fl ower color, fl ower form, fragrance, plant vigor, resistance to pests, and growth habit. However, the resistance to diseases is the most important criteria evaluated. Unlike most trial programs worldwide, no sprays are used in the ADR trials. Since the beginning of the ADR program over sixty years ago, more than 1500 varieties from various rose breeders around the world have been submitted and evaluated. To date, only 144 varieties have been decorated with the ADR-label. Of the total, the Kordes® rose breeding program has won more ADR certifi cates than any other breeder. ADR - the institution The ADR evaluations are the result of collaboration between independent gardens, the German Nursery Growers Association, the German Plant Breeder’s Rights offi ce, and rose breeders. The innovation and professionalism of the program has earned respect worldwide, and perhaps the ‘no spray’ model will become the standard for programs everywhere.

Kordes’ Söhne Located in Elmshorn, a small town north of Hamburg, Germany, the original rose nursery W. KORDES’ SÖHNE was founded in 1887 by Wilhelm Kordes I at the age of 22 years old. Initially, the nursery focused on production of rose plants, however Wilhelm Kordes I was known as a leading rose expert of his time and collected roses from many sources for propagation. The company prospered and in 1918 relocated to an old farm in Spar- rieshoop, where it continues today. The second generation of the family, Wilhelm II and Hermann Kordes began working alongside their father. The head offi ce at Sparrieshoop While his brother Hermann focused on marketing and production, Wilhelm II began a program to breed new rose varieties in 1920. For example, ’Crimson Glory’ (1935) was one of a number of worldwide successes. The collaboration of the two brothers resulted in the continued expan- sion of the production

  • 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.

  • Overview of the Dynamic Role of Specialty Cut Flowers in the International Cut Flower Market
    horticulturae Review Overview of the Dynamic Role of Specialty Cut Flowers in the International Cut Flower Market Anastasios Darras Laboratory of Floriculture and Landscape Architecture, Department of Agriculture, University of Peloponnese, 24100 Kalamata, Greece; [email protected]; Tel.: +30-27210-45199 Abstract: The global cut flower industry has faced serious challenges over the years, but still remains an important sector of agriculture. Floriculture businesses seek new, innovative trends and niches to help increase product sales. Specialty cut flower (SCF) production has increased in the past 20 years in the US, Australia, Africa, and Europe. SCF production and sales could increase further if these new products were supported by dynamic marketing campaigns that focus on their strengths compared to the traditional cut flowers (TCF) such as roses, carnations, gerberas, and chrysanthemums. The major strength of SCF is the eco-friendly profile, which is associated to low CO2 footprints and environmental outputs. This contrasts TCF cultivation, which is associated to high energy inputs, especially at the traditional production centres (e.g., The Netherlands). It is suggested that environmental legislations, production costs, and customer demand for eco-friendly products will positively affect future SCF cultivation and sale.

  • Tips for Displaying Cut Flowers
    TIPS FOR DISPLAYING CUT FLOWERS.... at home or at the fair 1. Remove the foliage from the portion of the stems that will be in water. Foliage covered with water will rot, discolor the water, and the bacteria growing in the water will block the stems causing the flowers to wilt sooner. 2. Labeling While bouquets at home don’t need labels, exhibits for the fair do. List the cultivar name as well as the type of flower (or vegetable) on the entry tag. Keeping records of what you plant and where will help you to know what each cultivar is when you prepare your exhibits. Exhibits without the cultivar or variety name are usually lowered one ribbon placing. Proper labeling insures that the judge can base the placing on the proper criteria. Good records also help you as you determine whether or not a specific cultivar is worth growing again. Finally, fair visitors and other exhibitors may be interested in growing the cultivars of plants that you grew and can get the information from the label. 3. Conditioning Flowers Conditioning flowers helps them last longer by reducing stem blockage and promoting quick water uptake. The vase life of many flowers, especially roses, can be increased by re-cutting the stems while holding them under water. This method prevents air from getting into the stem and blocking water uptake. Since you’ll need to re-cut the stems, always cut them as long as possible when harvesting your flowers. Cut the ends diagonally so they won’t rest flat on the bottom of the container.
