For the frst year of my presidency what is more fantastc to travel the world to appreciate its roses throughout all of the seasons in Europe of course but also in India, Central China, South Korea and in South Australia. In January, with WFRS Commitee Chairman Helga Brichet, I went to Hyderabad to atend the annual meetng of the Indian Federaton of Rose Societes. I saw their rose show and of course a must for me was to see the WFRS Vice President Ahmed Alam Khan’s spectacular rose gardens. I have been impressed by the magnifcence of the roses and Indian breeders who are gaining a lot more atenton. Then we went to Kolkata to prepare for the next WFRS Indian Regional Conventon in January 2020 which promises to surprise us. In April-May 2019, let’s go for the third Regional Conventon in China to the largest rose producton city Nanyang. Afer China I will visit South Korea and its roses secrets. Coming back to Europe I will be in the feld of the Internatonal rose trials before fying in October to South Australia to partcipate with in the four day Natonal Australian Rose show weekend in Adelaide. In the interval, I take to heart the preparaton of the 15th Heritage Rose Conference which will take place in Belgium in June 2020. Nanyang is already on our road so I would like to end with a Chinese old proverb “the rose has thorns only for the one who wants to pick it“. Let’s meet as many as possible in China in a very few weeks . With my kind regards, Henrianne de Briey March 2019 WFRS World Rose News 3 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR’S MESSAGE The rose world is a vibrant place, with radiant colours and enchantng fragrances. The genus Rosa is a hardy plant, and a born survivor. When you stop and consider, rosarians share that inner quality. To give you an example of their perseverance, when sad news that the Royal Natonal Rose Society had gone into administraton swept around the globe during May 2017, rose devotees remained resolute. Within a mater of weeks, a band of rose enthusiasts and exhibitors were summoned to a meetng being held at a village hall located in England. As discussions ensued, it became apparent that the absolute passion and determinaton to create a new society with the same values, which the RNRS’s forefathers had nurtured long ago, stll burned. ‘The Rose Society UK’ was founded on the basis of the Victorian clergyman, Rev Dean Hole’s legendary quote: “He who would have beautful roses in his garden must have beautful roses in his heart”. As the weeks passed, it soon became apparent how much the public welcomed the formaton of a new society, with an enthusiastc response for membership applicatons. On refecton, it was tremendous to receive much interest and support from rosarians around the world. The Society is fortunate to have a band of dedicated exhibitors who always put on dazzling displays at various Royal Hortcultural Society shows. Last year, the Society was recipient of the coveted RHS Gold Medal. During the 18th World Rose Conventon, WFRS Council overwhelmingly approved of the ‘Rose Society UK’ to be the representatve Member Country for Great Britain. It was a tremendous tribute to all the Members of the fedgling society who have achieved a great deal in such a short period of tme. As Executve Director of our prodigious organisaton, I am conscious of the sheer eagerness of many of our worldwide members. We are aware that the planet is rapidly changing, and life is being transformed into a digital domain. However, the true spirit of the earlier pioneers of rose growing culture contnues to fourish around the globe. May the sheer beauty of the rose contnue to give us joy and enrich our lives.

As a proclamaton and to further clarify the statement made by Mr. Alain Meilland at the meetng, Guillaume Beaugey of Meiland Roses Internatonal has kindly issued the following statement: “During an analysis in 2015 in Corisica, one plant of ‘Rosa x foribunda’ was found to test positve to the bacteria Xylella fastdiosa. Afer a second check, it appeared that the plant analysed was not from the genus Rosa, it was a mistake. ‘Rosa x foribunda’ has been removed from the list of the European Commission Database of host plants found to be susceptble to Xylella fastdiosa. From what we know, up to now, no sample of the genius Rosa has been found to Xylella fastdiosa in France or in Europe. Any plants of roses can be moved within the European Union if they have an European Phytosanitary Passport and outside Malcolm Watson European Union depending on specifc Phytosanitary legislatons of each country.” I trust that the above statement presented will clarify the situaton and prevent

  • 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.

The relatively new practice of deliberate hand- pollinated hybridization was producing a myriad of diversity in the world of roses. Emerging out of this renaissance were roses that were genetically blended, having traits derived from both parents. A quote from a July 5, 1902 issue of The Garden gives some insight into how the world of roses was evolving; “Now with the wholesome growth of all good gardening, many new garden Roses have been produced, and now there are not only Roses for beds but Roses for bushy masses, for rambling into trees, for tumbling over banks and boulders, for crowning low walls, and Roses so various in habit that there are kinds to suit gardens that are in immediate connexion [sic] with the most refined architecture as well as those of the best cottage class.” Accompanying this high tide of rose production was an ever-increasing number of single- flowered roses of all classes, many reflecting efforts to create remontant hybrids out of the older once- blooming types.

In Roses from Abroad: this excerpt from a recent issue of American Rose , Jeff Wyckoff decodes the Kordes Rose Decoding Kordes Collection and gives advice to those interested in growing and exhibiting these unique roses. 2 President’s Letter The firm of W. Kordes Söhne (Wilhelm Kordes’ Sons) was founded in Sparrieshoop, Germany in 1919 by Wilhelm Kordes II and his brother 3 Hermann Kordes. Their father, Wilhelm I, had started a nursery business in A Look Back Elmshorn in 1887. Although some of their early varieties were apparently bred by SRS: 2003-2007 Hermann, Wilhelm II quickly became the chief hybridizer. He was followed by his son Reimer, who died in 1997, and by Reiner’s son Wilhelm III. Two of Hermann’s sons, 4 - 5 THermann and Werner, plus other family members have been, and continue to be, The Season in Pictures involved in the company. W. Kordes Söhne recognizes 1887 as their founding date, and will celebrate their 125th anniversary next year. In this time they have introduced thousands of roses to commerce around the world. Their impact on the American rose market is evidenced by the fact that five Kordes varieties are among the ten highest rated floribundas listed in the 2011 Handbook for Selecting Roses, as are four of the five highest rated shrubs.
