Historic Rose Garden 2020 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 Cover photo: ‘Isobel’ by Judy Eitzen © 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 2020 Old City Cemetery Committee, Inc. 1000 Broadway, Sacramento, CA 95818 2 Historic Rose Garden Catalog Introduction April 2020 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. Plot markers are installed in the southeast corner of each plot. Designations in the catalog include letters after the plot number which 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 ‘Lady Hillingdon’ Name in boldface; single quotation marks indicate a named cultivar. Tea found rose from Oakland, CA “Tea” is the class of rose, “found rose” and source (location where 1910 Lowe & Shawyer found) collected by Laura Knox “1910 Lowe & Shawyer” is the date and name of the rose breeder Study name:”37th St. Apricot” “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 2020 Abbreviations and Definitions Used in this Catalog Class The type of rose (list of classifications on page 71). 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. 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, when appropriate, plant them in the Historic Rose Garden. FPI Foreign Plant Introduction. Frank N. Meyer and other ‘plant hunters’ 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 for ‘Mlle. Cécile Brunner’) 4 Historic Rose Garden Catalog Introduction April 2020 Table of Contents Introduction . 3 Abbreviations & Definitions . 4 Alphabetical List of Roses . 7 Plot List of Roses . 31 Study Name Index . 55 Rose Class Index . 61 Rose Classifications . 71 Climbing & Rambling Roses . 75 Bloom Color Index . 77 Rose Garden Map . 85 5 Historic Rose Garden Catalog Alphabetical Section April 2020 6 Historic Rose Garden Catalog Alphabetical Section April 2020 520 SW “# 8” 29 S ‘Alba Maxima’ Centifolia (poss H.
