I have a confession. What a way to start a letter, right? Well, I know it’s January and I know we’re probably looking at another difficult summer again with the way our temperatures seem to climb, but I have yet to prune more than 2 roses in my garden this winter. I know I said last month I would get started, but I just haven’t made myself get out and do it. I have been enjoying an abundance of blooms, taking them to friends and neighbors alike. I have one neighbor that thinks she needs to “trade” grapefruit for the roses I give her, but how much grapefruit can one person actually eat? I bet if I looked right now, I have at least 15 waiting for me. But I digress… The rain has brought out the dandelions and clover, so I have some work to do! No doubt I will finish and will have to turn around and apply mulch. Maybe I’ll cheat and do both at the same time this year. That should be an interesting experiment, but boy, will it save me some time! I hope you are all well and staying safe as we (hopefully) see COVID numbers starting to level off. I am hoping we will see more research on the vaccine soon – do we know how long it lasts, and are people who get it going to stop wearing masks? It scares me a little to think that people will think it is “safe” because they have had the shots, but now we have different strains popping up around the planet to think about. I am happy to report that the 3 times I have been out to the MCC garden to prune, I do see social distancing at work. I do carry a mask in my work-apron just in case though. Better to be safe, as they say. Please join us for the meeting on Thursday if you are able. I hope to learn more about mulching from Sherman than I know currently, which isn’t much!

Editor’s Note: With the exception of the article on Dave Bang, all photos of roses in this issue are by Maggie Holloway, taken in her garden one evening in early February. 2 The Rose Lore February 2021 ROSE AUCTION TIME! In case you haven’t noticed (WHAT??), our annual rose auction is up and running online. If you took a quick look earlier on, you should certainly look again as more items have been added. The auction will be closed to bidding – that is your deadline – on Thursday, 2/11, at 9 pm, AZ time, after our general meeting on Zoom. At present 44 bidders have placed more than 300 bids. Here is the link if you need it: Mesa Rose Auction As of Monday morning (2/8), there are 120 items available for bidding including 11 rose care items, 2 trees, 6 climbers, 30 hybrid teas along with lots of floribundas, grandifloras, minis and minifloras. Roses have been donated by Star Roses, Weeks Roses, K & M Nursery, our own Steve Sheard and other sources. There are still plenty of bargains to be found: ‘Beauty Secret’ ‘Bonfire’, Arctic Blue’, ‘Pink Peace’ and ‘Sunshine Daydream’ for a $20 bid; ‘Lady of the Dawn’, Antique’, Showbiz’ and more for a $15 bid. If you truly don’t have space for one more rose bush, you can still score some Captain Jack’s for those chilli thrips, a bottle of Ken Singh’s fish emulsion, or LeRoy’s favorite, Physan. Your newsletter editor is having a blast with this auction from the comforts of home but may have some explaining to her spouse to do when closing time comes. Some folks have said that going to an online auction is understandable, but they still miss Kyle Burnis with her live auctioneering skills, great sense of fun and Band-Aids. Well, she has come to our rescue, donating gift bag surprises for the auction winners who will receive them with their roses. All winners’ roses, products, and gift bags will be available for pickup on Saturday morning, 2/20, at Mesa Community College. We should all thank Ryan Regehr for having the confidence and imagination to give us this auction this year.

Your own health is more important than the health of your plants. FEBRUARY IN THE ROSE GARDEN By Mary Van Vlack While the work in the rose garden in February is not as intensive as in January, there are tasks that need attention and are best accomplished now. It is not a time to move on to other things and just ignore the roses. Finish what you started in January. Finish your pruning as soon as possible, and also rake and clean up cuttings, spent blooms, and other garden debris. A clean garden will have fewer problems with insects and diseases. Planting.

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.

  • A Rose by Any Other Name …
    A Rose By Any Other Name … By Janet Scheren, Fairfax Master Gardener Intern With all due respect to Shakespeare, roses comprise such a diverse group of flowers, they actually go by as many names as the fragrances, forms and colors they add to our gardens. Species or Wild Roses These simple, hardy, disease resistant roses, developed in nature, can add substantial environmental value to your yard. They host more than 100 native butterfly species and have special value for native bees. In Virginia and much of the East Coast, Virginia Rose or Prairie Rose (Rosa virginiana) can be found from the dry uplands to the wetlands and sand dunes. Two other wild natives are the Swamp Rose (R. palustris) and Pasture Rose. All three have pink blossoms. Jeff Mitton, University of Colorado Do not confuse these beautiful native plants with the Multiflora Rose — R. multiflora — a native of Eastern photo: Native Wild Rose Asia. This non-native, highly invasive rose is a small- leaved shrub with sprays of 1-inch white single roses in June. Multiflora roses should be removed from within 300 feet of garden roses as they are the main host of the rose rosette disease, which can kill garden roses. Old Garden Roses Gallica roses date back to Greek and Roman times. Together with Damask, Centifolia, Moss, Portland and Alba roses, Gallica roses form the oldest group of cultivated roses. Many of them have outstanding fragrances but bloom only once a year. The Damask rose is said to have been brought to Europe from the Middle East by the Crusaders.
