You will have in other sections of this Triennial Report, details of the Committees’ activities and achievements and the groups are to be commended for their efforts. From my perspective, progress has been made in the following areas:- The generous and substantial donation of 20,000 pounds provided by M. Yves Piaget gave the Executive Committee a challenge to investigate the beneficial use of these funds to promote the Federation’s goals and ambitions. Several projects have been approved, and will be implemented in the near future. Allocation of the remainder of the funds continues to be under investigation. The International Rose Trials Committee developed a universal scorecard for voluntary use at Trial Grounds around the world. The introduction at a number of Trials has proven to be successful as has the People’s Choice Award. Certificates for public judging are available from the Executive Director. They are currently investigating a simpler Trials “Lodgement Form” that can be used by the Rose Breeder/Agent for lodging entries at multiple rose trials. Communication throughout the Federation has been, and continues to be a concern. Whilst the language of the Federation is English, and is great for me, it is not the case for a number of our Member Countries. We must remain vigilant in allowing those non English speaking peoples to have the opportunity to express their opinion and needs. The World Rose News continues to provide a wonderful avenue to disseminate information; however, the document is not as widely circulated as I would hope. Translating the material in World Rose News must be a priority in the future as is the circulation issue. The work undertaken by our entire Publication Committee is appreciated. The Conservation and Heritage Committees continue to work together in this very important area. They are currently working toward the upgrading of the WFRS data base – an exacting, time consuming task. The Rose Shows Standardisation Committee introduced a class of International Rose Judges and we now see almost 30 Judges from 8 countries included on our Register. These judges are eligible to be included in the judging panel when rose shows are conducted at international events. The Certificate of Excellence has been used by a number of Member Countries at their national events for successful exhibitors in the WFRS International Challenge Classes. These certificates are also available from me. Following the successful World Rose Convention in Sandton South Africa, Regional Conventions have been held in India, New Zealand and Spain and an International Heritage Conference in Germany. These events have been well attended and were of an exceptional standard. The Federation is indebted to the Organising Committees for running these events, and contributing to the Federation’s funds. The Breeders’ Club continues to provide a link between the professional rose breeder and the Federation. Their deliberations have been productive, and we are hopeful that more non professional breeders and associations will be able to join the group in the future. The introduction of the “Friends of the Federation” donors’ scheme has proved to be most beneficial, not only financially to the Federation, but especially as it allows this group of generous benefactors to meet at WFRS events. The current number of almost 80 individuals has experienced wonderful camaraderie as the group has grown. The “Friends” is open to all individuals – and lasts from one World Rose Convention to the next. Donor forms are available on our website. As I relinquish my role as Executive Director at the end of June 2015, the Federation’s plans for the future are exciting and extensive, which include a combined International Heritage Conference and Regional Convention in China, Regional Conventions in Uruguay and Slovenia and the 18th World 5 Rose Convention in Denmark. The World Federation will celebrate its 50th Anniversary during 2018, and preparations are underway to ensure this milestone receives the celebrations it deserves. We are thankful that in 1968 rosarians who attended the 4th International Rose Conference in London accepted the challenge to form this Federation. Through that decision, we have been able to regularly meet fellow rosarians (who now represent 39 Member Countries, 22 Associate Members and 14 Breeders’ Club Members) at various venues around the globe - irrespective of the barriers of national character. Malcolm Watson WFRS Executive Director 6 PREFACE At the inception of the World Federation of Rose Societies in London in 1968 it was agreed that every three years one of its members, national rose societies, should host a World Convention with the intent of bringing together rosarians from around the globe to meet and discuss issues pertaining to the Rose, facilitating the exchange of information and goodwill amongst the likeminded, be they amateurs or professionals. The first of these Conventions was hosted by the New Zealand Rose Society in 1971 and since then other rose societies from the five continents have regularly followed suit. Over the years, the number of national rose societies’ members increased steadily and by the mid-eighties it was felt that smaller Regional Conventions, which focused principally on matters of local interest concerning the Rose, should be encouraged. The first of these was hosted by the Bermuda Rose Society in 1987 and, a number of years later, by the Italian Rose Association. Since then these Regional Conventions have become ever increasingly popular. On the other hand, contemporarily to these events, the Publications Committee made slow progress. Having been established as early as the second World Convention, held in Chicago in 1974, the Committee encouraged a system of free distribution and exchange of literature between members. Hosting societies were requested to publish records and lectures of each Convention. At the fourth World Convention in Pretoria in 1979 the Chairman of the Publications Committee lamented the general lack of communication between members. However soon afterwards a first newsletter was published, initially with minimal support from members, so that its potential remained dormant and disheartening. Once more in Baden Baden in 1985 the Chairman lamented the difficulty of obtaining news items from the majority of members, however in 1988 in Sydney, Australia, the Chairman reported the publication of a regular newsletter entitled Rose News and later World Rose News, which had received a favourable reception. Also a List of Gardens and Calendar of Events had been printed and distributed. During the subsequent years biennial editions of World Rose News, all increasingly appreciated, were circulated to WFRS members, with the intent that they be passed on to members of the national and local societies. At the 1997 World Convention in the Benelux the Federation’s Directory, assembled from information gathered from members by vice presidents over the previous period, was presented with the intension that it be updated annually and, hopefully, expanded to include all information useful to members and individual rose lovers. World Rose News became a regular printed biennial – in colour – although still sent to members by post, and thus expensive for the WFRS’ limited budget.

  • 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.

A total of 518 different alleles were obtained Received in revised form 9 August 2013 in the set of 138 rose cultivars and this led to the conclusion that in terms of genetic diversity cut roses Accepted 9 August 2013 can be considered as a subgroup of the garden roses. Genetic differentiation among types of garden roses (Fst = 0.022) was four times that among cut roses, Keywords: and similar in magnitude to the differentiation among breeders, due to the fact that horticultural groups Rosa and breeders overlap largely in classification. Winter hardy Svejda’s cultivars (Canadian Explorer roses) Garden rose types showed the least similarities to European roses, and introgression from wild species for winter hardiness Genetic diversity SSR was clearly visible.
