  • Flower Colors of Hardy Hybrid Rhododendrons

    Flower Colors of Hardy Hybrid Rhododendrons

    ARNOLDIA A continuation of the , BULLETIN OF POPULAR INFORMATION of the Arnold Arboretum, Harvard University VOLUME 9 JULY 1, 1949 NUMBERS 7-8 FLOWER COLORS OF HARDY HYBRID RHODODENDRONS hybrid broad-leaved evergreen rhododendrons are most conspicuous dur- THEing early June. If grown in fertile, acid soil, mulched properly and pruned properly (see ARNOLDIA, Vol. 8, No. 8, September, 1948) they should pro- duce a bright display of flowers annually. The collection in the Arnold Arbore- tum is over fifty years old and has been added to continually from year to year. Rhododendron enthusiasts are continually studying this collection, noting the differences between the many varieties now being grown. Not all that are avail- able in the eastern United States nurseries are here, but many are, and it serves a valuable purpose, at the same time making a splendid display. It is most difficult to properly identify the many hardy rhododendron hybrids. The species are of course keyed out in standard botanical keys, but there is little easily available information about the identification of hybrids grown in the East. There are no colored pictures or paintings sufficiently accurate for this purpose, nor are there suitable descriptions of the flower colors. Articles for popular peri- odicals are numerous, but color descriptions in these are entirely too general. The term "crimson flowers" may cover a dozen or more varieties, each one of which does differ slightly from the others. Size of truss, of flower, markings on corolla and even the color of the stamens and pistils are all aides in identification. Consequently, we have started an attempt at the proper description of hybrid varieties, growing in our collection, by the careful comparison of colors of the flowers as they bloomed this year, with the colors of the Royal Horticultural Society’s Colour Chart.

  • Rose Problems

    Rose Problems

    Page 1 of 7 Visit us on the Web: www.gardeninghelp.org A Visual Guide: Rose Problems Black spot of rose Black spot is the most important disease of roses and one of the most common diseases found everywhere roses are grown. The disease does not kill the plant outright, but over time, the loss of leaves can weaken the plant making it more susceptible to other stresses and to winter damage. Black spots, one-tenth to one-half inch in diameter, develop first on upper leaf surfaces. Later, areas adjacent to the black spots turn yellow and leaves drop prematurely, usually beginning at the bottom of the plant and progressing upward. Lookalikes: Spot anthracnose (shot-hole disease) is not a major problem unless it is very hot (too hot for black spot). Spots caused by black spot are fuzzy around the edges, then turn yellow and brown. Spots caused by anthracnose are smooth edged and the centers turn grey and drop out. Treatment is the same, but if a pesticide is used, it must be labeled for black spot or anthracnose, whichever disease you are treating. Rose rosette Rose rosette disease, also known as witches'-broom of rose, is a virus or virus-like disease, that is spread by a microscopic eriophyid mite. The main symptom is a tightly grouped, proliferation of distorted, usually bright red foliage (a witches'-broom). Affected canes may be excessively thorny, thicker than unaffected canes and slow to mature. The canes are also soft, as are the prickles, and will break off with little pressure.

    'O Rose Thou Art Sick': Floral Symbolism in William Blake's Poetry

    ‘O Rose Thou Art Sick’: Floral Symbolism in William Blake’s Poetry Noelia Malla1 ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Available Online March 2014 The primary aim of this paper is to analyse the symbolic implications of Key words: floral imagery in William Blake’s poetry. More specifically, this study William Blake; explores the process of floral (re)signification of William Blake’s Songs of Songs of Innocence and of Innocence (1789) and Songs of Experience (1794) as case studies. Since Experience; “Without contraries [there] is no progression” (Marriage of Heaven and The Sick Rose; Hell, plate 3), it can be argued that the Songs represent contrary aspects floral imagery. of the human condition that far from contradicting each other, establish a static contrast of shifting tensions and revaluation of the flower-image not only as a perfect symbol of the “vegetable” life rooted to the Earth but also as a figure longing to be free. In some sense at some level, the poetic- prophetic voice asserts in the Songs of Experience the state of corruption where man has fallen into. Ultimately, this study will explore how the failure to overcome the contrast that is suggested in the Songs will be deepened by the tragedy of Thel, which is symbolized by all unborn forces of life, all sterile seeds as an ultimate means of metaphorical regeneration throughout Poetry which constitutes in itself the Poet Prophet’s own means of transcending through art. William Blake (1757-1827) was the first English poet to work out the revolutionary structure of imagery that (re)signifies through the Romantic poetry.

    Fact Sheet ST-211 November 1993 Crataegus laevigata ‘Crimson Cloud’ ‘Crimson Cloud’ English Hawthorn1 Edward F. Gilman and Dennis G. Watson2 INTRODUCTION Crimson Cloud (also known as ‘Superba’) English Hawthorn grows rapidly in a pyramidal form to about 20 feet, then the crown expands to become oval or irregular (Fig. 1). The tree tolerates most soils, growing well in clay, but prefers heavy, dry loam. The main ornamental feature is white and red flowers borne in spring which together give the tree a deep pink color. Fruits are red and quite showy but do not cover the tree. Though quite ornamental, Hawthorns are susceptible to insect and disease problems. Branching habit is decidedly drooping and care should be given when locating this tree near pedestrian or vehicular traffic. GENERAL INFORMATION Figure 1.

    Mr. Nelson's Roses 1856

    MR. NELSON'S ROSES, 1856 In The Southern Cultivator, Robert Nelson, a nurseryman of Macon, Georgia, listed the roses he considered best for Southern gardens: China Roses Arch Duke Charles; of very luxuriant growth, and a most prolific bloomer. The flowers are very different in color, varying from light pink to deep crimson, with all the intermediate shades, sometimes, also, marbled and spotted; grows 4 to 5 feet high. Camelliaflora; light rosy purple, in very large clusters; grows about 4 feet high. Carmine Superbe; flowers medium, in great profusion, of a very dark crimson hue, and of a globular form; foliage dark reddish; it forms a neat little hedge. Duchesse of Kent; flowers of medium size, beautifully formed, and in great clusters; color, light pink, or nearly white, with a cream colored centre. It is almost a never-ceasing bloomer, but during the droughts, in summer, the white flowers look as if sprinkled with blood. It grows very compact and bushy--almost dwarfish. Madam Breon; bright rosy crimson, very large and brilliant flowers, which, in the fall, assume a still more brilliant hue. Marjolin; an immense bloomer of a brilliant dark scarlet color and velvety tint. This variety, planted close to "Duchesse of Kent," or planted promiscuously in a hedge, will form a most beautiful object. Lawrenciana; also called the "Picayune" is remarkable for its very small flowers and foliage; it forms a neat edging around beds. Lawrenciana Viridis; the "Green Rose," is a botanical curiosity. The flower, if it can be called so, consists of a greet [sic] tuft of leaves, or, more correctly, in a double calyx, destitute of petals.
  • Old Garden Roses

    Old Garden Roses

    Old Garden Roses Old Garden Roses are the classic old-fashioned roses developed in England, Europe, and the Middle East prior to the introduction of roses in China and the Far East in 1867. They typically are very fragrant, bloom heavily in spring (though some repeat bloom) and are most often found in shades ranging from white and pale pink to burgundy. Also known as “Heirloom” or “Antique Roses,” the following classes of roses are within this grouping: Alba Roses The Albas and their hybrids are known as the “White Roses” of Shakespeare, though their blossoms range in color from pure white to shades of pink. They are vigorous, hardy and very disease resistant. Their sprays of blooms are fragrant and occur only once in a massive spring display. Many carry large red hips through the winter. Bluish foliage and upright growth habit make them a fine backdrop for other roses. They are to take some shade in the garden. Centifolias The Centifolias were made famous by the Dutch painters of the 17th century. Referred to as the “hundred-petaled” roses, or Cabbage Roses, they are one-time bloomers noted for the fullness and size of their flowers. Normally tall shrubs with arching growth, several are compact with smaller blossoms. All are very hardy. Damasks Hybrids of Rosa damascene, these are among the most ancient of garden roses. Cultivated by the Romans, they might have died out in medieval times had it not been for the European monasteries that grew roses for medical purposes. They are known for their Old Rose fragrance and the June flowering which produces an abundance of blooms sufficient for making large quantities of potpourri.
