Historic Rose Garden Catalog Introduction April 2015 Historic Rose Garden 2015 Catalog Preserving California’s Heritage Roses Catalog of roses in Sacramento’s Historic Rose Garden with some detail of origins, classification and source of the plants Compiled by Rose Garden Volunteers Edited by Judy Eitzen 1 © Historic Rose Garden, Old City Cemetery Committee, Inc. Compiled by Rose Garden Volunteers Edited by Judy Eitzen All rights reserved Published by the Historic Rose Garden, April 2015. Old City Cemetery Committee, Inc. 1000 Broadway, Sacramento, CA 95818 2 Historic Rose Garden Catalog Introduction April 2015 The Catalog is a listing of all the roses currently in the part of Sacramento’s Historic City Cemetery designated as the Historic Rose Garden. The majority of roses in this garden were found growing on sites throughout California, many brought by pioneers and Forty-Niners as they settled in the west. The collection includes roses known to be grown and available in commerce in the 19th century and early 20th century as well as a few more modern cultivars. Roses planted by cemetery plot owners also remain in place, regardless of era. Many of the roses are listed under their Study Names. A Study Name serves to identify the rose when the cultivar is not known. Study Names may include some form of the location of the original plant (“mother plant”) or perhaps a name from a nearby headstone (if found in a cemetery) or the person who found the mother plant. Some roses are chance seedlings or sports of known roses and may never have a name other than the Study Name. A very few may be registered and given an official name. How to use the catalog The main section of the catalog is divided into two parts: an alphabetical listing by the name of each rose and a numeric listing by location in the garden, the Plot number. New plot markers are being installed in the southeast corner of most plots. Letters after the plot number refer to the location within the plot, (e.g., SE = Southeast corner of the plot, N = North side, etc.) Sample Entry of a named rose ‘Pink Pet’ Name in boldface type; single quotation mark indicates a named China found rose from Dallas, TX cultivar. 1928 Lilley “China” is the class of rose, “found rose” and source (location where Collected by Mattie Lou Westfall found) Donated by Fred Boutin “1928 Lilley” is the date and name of rose breeder Study name:”Caldwell Pink” “Collected by” is the person who collected the original cutting “Donated by” is the person who donated the rose to the garden “Study name” is the name under which the rose came to the cemetery. Sample Entry of a rose listed under a study name "Sawyer Plot Tea" Study names are listed in bold with double quotation marks Tea found rose from Angels Camp, CA “Tea” is the class of rose, “found rose” and source (location where collected by Fred Boutin found) Possibly Mme Lombard family “Collected by” is the person who found the rose and took the cutting “Possibly Mme Lombard family” refers to a possible identification of this rose. This rose is similar to ‘Mme Lombard’. NOTE: Study Names are sometimes called ‘found names’. 3 Historic Rose Garden Catalog Introduction April 2015 Abbreviations and Definitions Used in this Catalog Class The type of rose (see classification list beginning on page 69). Often, rose class can be determined before the specific cultivar is known, thus many roses are listed by class even when their names are not known. Class/class Some entries have two classifications listed separated by a slash. These are roses with characteristics of both classes of rose. CRL Combined Rose List – An authoritative international resource which lists roses in commerce and rose registration names and the nurseries from which they can be purchased. It is compiled by Beverly R. Dobson & Peter Schneider and includes more than 15,000 known roses. Found rose A rose located on a site which has been abandoned or on an old property such as a cemetery, ranch or homestead. Rosarians take cuttings of these (with permission), grow them into plants, attempt to identify and, if appropriate, plant them in the cemetery. FPI Foreign Plant Introduction. Frank N. Meyer and others traveled the world to locate plants for the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture at the beginning of the 20th century. Plants were brought to the Plant Introduction Station in Chico, CA and tested there before being introduced into commerce. NOT Following a name, this designation indicates that although the rose appears similar to the named cultivar, we have determined that the rose is not that cultivar. The name will appear with “NOT” following until we can determine the correct identification of the rose. Possibly This may be the possible identification of the rose. The rose is similar, but we’re not sure yet. Remontant Just a fancy way of saying re-blooming – these roses bloom in waves throughout the season. Study Name A name given to a found rose while attempting to identify the rose. Study Names usually reflect the collector, or the place from which the rose was collected. Sometimes called a found name. Synonym Another name by which this rose is known. Sometimes this is a popular name (e.g., Sweetheart Rose) 4 Historic Rose Garden Catalog Introduction April 2015 Table of Contents Introduction . 3 Abbreviations & Definitions . 4 Alphabetical List of Roses . 7 Plot List of Roses . 33 Study Name Index . 59 Found Rose Locations . 65 Rose Class Index . 69 Rose Classifications . 79 Climbing & Rambling Roses . 83 Bloom Color Index . 85 Rose Garden Map . 93 5 Historic Rose Garden Catalog Alphabetical Section April 2015 PLOT ROSE PLOT ROSE 6 Historic Rose Garden Catalog Alphabetical Section April 2015 PLOT ROSE PLOT ROSE 520 SW “# 8” 459 NW ‘Alba Maxima’ Centifolia found rose Alba found rose from Roseville, CA donated by Laura Knox Collected by Jane Glaser 6/2005 Possibly ‘Paul Ricault’ Collected from mother-in-law’s home.

The volatile oils of R. canina flowers were isolated by hydrodistillation (HD) and traditional dry distillation (DD) and analyzed by HRGC-FID and GC-MS. Compared to HD, DD at 50◦C leads to the isolation of high quality oil which contains the highest content of oxygenated compounds (83%). The main components are the 2-phenethyl alcohol and eugenol. The percentage of the 2-phenethyl alcohol, a highly desirable component in rose oil, was significantly higher (58.4%) in DD extract when compared to that of HD one (13.6%).

  • The Use of Plants in Skin-Care Products, Cosmetics and Fragrances: Past and Present
    cosmetics Review The Use of Plants in Skin-Care Products, Cosmetics and Fragrances: Past and Present Francisco José González-Minero 1,* ID and Luis Bravo-Díaz 2 1 Department Plant Biology and Ecology (Botany), Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Seville, 41012 Sevilla, Spain 2 Department Pharmacology, Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Seville, 41012 Sevilla, Spain; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +34-95-455-7714 Received: 10 July 2018; Accepted: 9 August 2018; Published: 19 August 2018 Abstract: This work discusses the way people have used plants over time (basically since Ancient Egypt) to care for their physical aspect, and also how natural resources (especially plants) are currently used in personal-care products. Many plant species are ancient. This paper also shows examples of plants used for personal care which are investigated with new scientific advances. Keywords: anti-aging products; cosmeceuticals; ethnobotany; history of cosmetics; medicinal plants; skin care 1. Introduction Since time immemorial, humans have embraced the habit of modifying their external aspects, be it to improve their chances of social success, or in war or in love—-in short, to heighten their self-esteem [1]. To care for their skin and physical appearance, different civilizations have used—and still use—a variety of different mineral, animal, plant, and chemical products. However, we must bear in mind that beauty is a fashion that changes over the time, and depends on cultural and religious traditions [2,3]. Currently, skin-care products and cosmetics are part of the daily life of many people. The chemical-pharmaceutical industry strives to obtain high quality products and, in many cases, depends on plants, an inexhaustible source of raw materials that are generally deemed to be safe and non-toxic [4].

  • 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!

Halawani Biology Department, Faculty of Science, Taif University, KSA. Received 12 April, 2014; Accepted 26 May, 2014 Antimicrobial activity of alcoholic and aqueous extracts from Rosa damascena was evaluated against 10 pathogenic microorganisms. Minimum inhibition concentration (MIC), Minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) and the diameter of inhibition zone (DIZ) were determined by in vitro bioassays using hole-plate diffusion method and broth micro-dilution method (BMD) against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25923, Staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC 27853, Psuedomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli ATCC 25922, E. coli, Streptococcus pneumoniae ATCC 55143, Acinetobacter calcaoceuticus, Salmonella enteritidis and Aspergillus niger ATCC 16404. While hexane extracts showed very low activity against the test microorganisms, ethanol, methanol and water extracts significantly exhibited antimicrobial activity and inhibited the growth of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria as well as A. niger at all tested concentrations. The most active antimicrobial effect was recorded for ethanol extract of R. damascena against P. aeruginosa ATCC 27853 at MIC and MBC of 62.5 µg/ml (DIZ = 34 mm), E. coli ATCC25922 at MIC and MBC of 62.5 µg/ml (DIZ = 30 mm). MIC and MBC data obtained from the antimicrobial studies were analyzed for significant difference at p<0.05 using one way analysis of variance (ANOVA).

  • ROSE CLASS Roses
    ROSE CLASS Roses • Roses are beautiful flowers that are within the family Rosaceae, and part of the genus Rosa. Rose plants are perennial, while there are over 100 species in existence. Roses are mainly native to Asia, while some are also native to North America, Africa, and Europe. The rose is America’s National Floral Emblem and is also the state flower of Iowa, North Dakota, Georgia, New York and even the District of Columbia. The rose is also England’s national flower. According to fossil evidence in Colorado, the rose is about 35 million years old. Did you know that during World War II, in Germany there was a non-violent resistance group called the White Rose? • Because there are so many different species of roses, they will vary greatly in size and looks. Some can grow up to 20+ feet high, while some are just miniature compact roses. One example is the Miniature Rose, which only grows about 1 to 3 feet high, while the Grandiflora Rose can grow up to 20 feet high. Most species have alternating thorns and leaves going up the stem. The leaves can be anywhere in length from 2 to 6 inches. The flowers can be a variety of different colors as well. From red to peach, pink to lavender, and even white or yellow just to name a few. • This flower can be used in many different industries and products. It can be used for medicinal purposes, food and beverages, bath and body products, hair care, and even skin care. In ancient Egypt, roses were considered the most sacred flower and were used as offerings to the Goddess Isis.

Throughout history roses were sought after for various reasons. They have symbolized success and used as badges during the famous War of the Roses between houses of York and Lancaster. Their petals were used to make garlands and adorn banquets. They were painted for their beauty in collections of oil and still life paintings as well as used in stained glass windows in Medieval churches. Wealthy Romans bathed in rose water and created greenhouses so they could always have access to the rose. Later the monks in monasteries continued to cultivate the rose for medicinal purposes, perfume, and even Communion wine. Orlando Area Historical Rose Society meets at City of Orlando’s Harry P.
