    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.

We have also have roses that will grow in partial shade, and those that are nearly thornless so they can be planted near where children play, or entrances. Our roses are planted in 3 gallon biodegradable paper pots, containing rose soil, fertilizer and Root Activator. Their canes are pruned to their proper height, ensuring that each bush attains its maximum blooming potential. The biodegradable paper pots should be planted directly in the ground, where they will decompose.

    VII International Symposium on Rose Research and Cultivation July 2-7, 2017 Angers (France) Abstract book VII International Symposium on Rose Research and Cultivation Welcome Dear congress participants, dear colleagues, In the name of the organizing committee, I am very pleased to welcome you in Angers for the VII International Symposium on Rose Research and Cultivation. We are around 130 people from more than 20 countries. We have organized this meeting with the objective to gather breeders, producers and researchers working on roses from all over the world. The symposium will cover all areas of rose research with updates on the most recent developments in all fields: agronomy, physiology, genetics, genomics… The meeting is organized around 7 scientific sessions and a round table. There will be 36 oral presentations and 70 posters presented during the symposium. I am sure that you will have interesting and passionate discussions that will be the beginning of fruitful collaborations. The symposium will also be the opportunity to discover beautiful rose gardens around Angers: the Loubert rose garden (Les Rosiers sur Loire) with more than 3000 different varieties with a large collection of botanical roses and the international rose garden of the city of Nantes (Roseraie Paul Plantiveau, La Beaujoire) with around 1600 varieties with a specialization on perfume roses. You will also have the opportunity to visit different rose nurseries in the area of Doué en Anjou, the first region of garden rose production in France. There are not only roses in Angers! We hope that during this meeting you can visit this charming city with its historical center.
