Ludwig's Roses Cape Town R 5.00 From the editor THE TASCHNER FAMILY 46 YEARS OF ROSE PASSION A lot has changed since I first settled in Haakdoorn- laagte in 1971. One thing however has not. The rose remains the Queen of all flowers. In those days gardeners were intrigued by the first proper orange Hybrid Tea roses. They were beautiful, but riddled with mildew. Pamela & Ludwig The quest for breeding healthier roses has paid off. Today, due to the fungus disease resistance in modern roses, we enjoy many more blooms each season. Stamina™ roses are a step up. We are excited to introduce this generation of vigorous and robust cut rose bearing bushes. Vanessa, Little Ludwig, Otto & Halmar Their broad leaf canopy shades, nourishes and enables a wide and deeply settled root system. This creates a perfect circle of stamina and repeat flowering. ‘Fordyce’ and ‘Turning Point’ are this season’s “must have” Stamina™ novelties. Christian, Xavier, Alex & Heike Gardening is so much fun! Planting roses enhances the experience! Wishing you the rewarding joy each and every bloom brings! Yours in Roses, Ludwig Taschner & family Anja, Sofia, Talhat & Gabriel Pictures and information in this catalogue are intended as a guide only. Copyright © 2017/18 in text: Ludwig Taschner.

Their growth habit is similar to Hybrid Tea’s. Their blooms are “cabbage” shaped. They should be planted 0.8m x 0.8m apart. Hybrid Tea Roses are the Queens of the garden. Hybrid perpetuals were crossed with tea roses to create these repeat flowering, modern roses. Full, clasically shaped blooms are produced on strong, single stems that are ideal for picking. They come in all colours, heights and many are fragrant. Plant them 0.8m x 0.8m apart in a bed. Floribunda Roses are the busy bees of the garden. The name is derived from latin and means “flowering in abundance” or “many-flowering”.

  • 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.

  • Fruit Varieties in Nantwich Community Orchard May 2021 Apples
    Fruit varieties in Nantwich Community Orchard May 2021 Text and photographs by Malcolm Reid The orchard was established in 2008 and now consists of forty-five trees, including twenty-six apple varieties, some of which are long-established cultivars, and a few particular to Cheshire. There are also three varieties of pear tree and three different sorts of plum tree. The information on the trees and their fruit was mainly produced using the following sources: A Guide to the Orchard and Kitchen Garden by George Lindley, edited by John Lindley, 1831 The Book of Apples by Joan Morgan and Alison Richards, 1993 The Apple Book by Rosie Sanders, 2010 The National Fruit Collection database http://www.nationalfruitcollection.org.uk/ Details from Elizabeth Falding of the fruit trees propagated by Tony Gentil All the photographs were taken in the community orchard. Apples Arthur W Barnes Culinary (cooking) apple This variety of apple tree was first cultivated in 1902 by NF Barnes and is named after his son, who was killed during the First World War. NF Barnes was the head gardener at the Duke of Westminster’s estate at Eaton Hall, near Chester. The apples are best picked in mid-September when they have turned red. They cook well, making a juicy, lemon coloured purée, with plenty of bite and flavour. Ashmead's Kernel Dessert (eating) apple Although this type of tree was first grown by Dr Ashmead, in Gloucestershire, in about 1700, it was not until the mid-19th century that it became widely planted in England. The fruits are best picked in early October when they have a yellowish-green, brown, and orange-red appearance.

  • 'O Rose Thou Art Sick': Floral Symbolism in William Blake's Poetry
    ‘O Rose Thou Art Sick’: Floral Symbolism in William Blake’s Poetry Noelia Malla1 ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Available Online March 2014 The primary aim of this paper is to analyse the symbolic implications of Key words: floral imagery in William Blake’s poetry. More specifically, this study William Blake; explores the process of floral (re)signification of William Blake’s Songs of Songs of Innocence and of Innocence (1789) and Songs of Experience (1794) as case studies. Since Experience; “Without contraries [there] is no progression” (Marriage of Heaven and The Sick Rose; Hell, plate 3), it can be argued that the Songs represent contrary aspects floral imagery. of the human condition that far from contradicting each other, establish a static contrast of shifting tensions and revaluation of the flower-image not only as a perfect symbol of the “vegetable” life rooted to the Earth but also as a figure longing to be free. In some sense at some level, the poetic- prophetic voice asserts in the Songs of Experience the state of corruption where man has fallen into. Ultimately, this study will explore how the failure to overcome the contrast that is suggested in the Songs will be deepened by the tragedy of Thel, which is symbolized by all unborn forces of life, all sterile seeds as an ultimate means of metaphorical regeneration throughout Poetry which constitutes in itself the Poet Prophet’s own means of transcending through art. William Blake (1757-1827) was the first English poet to work out the revolutionary structure of imagery that (re)signifies through the Romantic poetry.

  • A Manual Key for the Identification of Apples Based on the Descriptions in Bultitude (1983)
    A MANUAL KEY FOR THE IDENTIFICATION OF APPLES BASED ON THE DESCRIPTIONS IN BULTITUDE (1983) Simon Clark of Northern Fruit Group and National Orchard Forum, with assistance from Quentin Cleal (NOF). This key is not definitive and is intended to enable the user to “home in” rapidly on likely varieties which should then be confirmed in one or more of the manuals that contain detailed descriptions e.g. Bunyard, Bultitude , Hogg or Sanders . The varieties in this key comprise Bultitude’s list together with some widely grown cultivars developed since Bultitude produced his book. The page numbers of Bultitude’s descriptions are included. The National Fruit Collection at Brogdale are preparing a list of “recent” varieties not included in Bultitude(1983) but which are likely to be encountered. This list should be available by late August. As soon as I receive it I will let you have copy. I will tabulate the characters of the varieties so that you can easily “slot them in to” the key.

  • 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.

However Figure 2. Confetti Poinsettia. Rainbow Roses are most unusual because the petals of the same flower display various colors.
