10 TWO AWARD OF EXCELLENCE WINNERS FOR 2018
By Jim Hering 1050 Kingwood Dr., Marion, OH 43302
In 1973 the American Rose Society Board of Directors established the Award of Excellence to recognize new miniature and miniflora rose varieties of superior quality and marked distinc- tion. Since the inception of the Award, there have been 128 AOE winners.
Miniature and miniflora roses which have been in commerce for less than one year, as well as unnamed seedlings or sports, are eligible for evaluation for two to three years in eight AOE public test gardens, spaced geographically across the United States. Since 2013 roses may be entered in a “no spray“ division, a “preventive spray” division or both. Each public garden has an AOE supervisor and five evaluators who score the entries on eleven criteria four times dur- ing each growing season. At the end of the trial period, Awards of Excellence are given to de- serving entries, with a maximum of five per year. The test gardens are: American Rose Cen- ter, Shreveport, LA; Edisto Memorial Gardens, Orangeburg, SC; Farmers Branch Public Rose Garden, Farmers Branch, TX; International Rose Test Garden, Portland, OR; Mesa Community College Garden, Mesa, AZ; Rudolf W. van der Goot Rose Garden, Somerset, NJ; Toledo Bo- tanical Gardens, Toledo, OH; and Virginia Clemens Rose Garden, St. Cloud, MN.
The official public announcement of the Award of Excellence winners is made each year at the awards banquet of the ARS National Miniature Rose Show and Conference. After two years of evaluation (three for climbers) two Award of Excellence winners have been selected. The 2018 AOE winners announced in Monrovia, CA on April 22, 2017, are Cutie Pie , an apricot blend miniature by Tom Carruth and Houston Levee, an apricot miniature climber by Richard Anthony, both from the “preventive spray” division.
Cutie Pie This peach and yellow blend miniature has high centered double blooms of 25 to 30 petals borne singly and in clus- ters on relatively short stems. The plants are vigorous and loaded with blooms, and the foliage is glossy medi- um green with good disease resistance. Cutie Pie has a slight fruity fragrance, and its parentage is Ruby Ruby x seedling. It was hybridized by Tom Carruth and will be introduced by Weeks Roses. This is Tom’s sixth AOE winner.

11 Houston Levee Richard Anthony’s apricot miniature is an excellent climber with six to seven foot canes and blooms with exhibition form which eventually progress to colorful orange hips. It repeats quickly, tolerates heat as demonstrated in some of the southern AOE trial gardens, has dark green semi -glossy foliage and good disease resistance. This is Richard’s first Award of Excel- lence winner, and it will be introduced by For Love of Roses. (photo courtesy of LeRoy Brady)

12 BEES KNEES ELECTED TO MINIATURE AND MINIFLORA ROSE HALL OF FAME By Jim Hering 1050 Kingwood Dr., Marion, OH 43302
Since its creation in 1999, the Miniature and Miniflora Rose Hall of Fame has honored those miniatures and minifloras that have stood the test of time in commerce for at least 20 years, recognizing excellence and longevity. Each year a “Call for Nominations” is printed in Ameri- can Rose , posted on the ARS website and distributed to bulletin editors. This year 212 nomi- nations were received from 62 rosarians, and 56 different varieties were nominated. The ARS Miniature/Miniflora Rose Committee determines the honoree(s) from the nominations submit- ted. Since 1998 there have been 39 miniature and miniflora roses inducted into the Hall of Fame.
At the 19 th ARS National Miniature Conference in Monrovia, California, on April 22 nd one 2017 Miniature and Miniflora Rose Hall of Fame honoree was announced. It is Bees Knees , hybridized by Keith Zary. It was introduced in 1998, and this is its first year of eligibility for the Hall of Fame.
Bees Knees (‘JACkee’) is a yellow blend miniature with blooms that vary from yellow to pink blend. The blooms generally are 2 - 2½ inches in diameter, double, high centered, borne singly and in large clusters and with slight fragrance. The foliage is dull dark green, and the canes have moderate prickles. Bees Knees is an outstanding exhibition rose and consistently receives a high garden rating as demonstrated by receiving the American Rose Society Members’ Choice Award in 2006. Its parentage is (seedling x Haute Pink ), and it was introduced by Bear Creek Gardens, Inc. in 1998. This is Keith Zary’s second introduction to enter the Hall of Fame, the first being Hot Tamale in 2012.

15 Earth -Kind ® Roses To rose exhibitors, the Earth -Kind rose ‘Knock Out’ may not be very exciting, but for the future it has caused an “earthquake” in rose hybridizing. William Radler, the developer of ‘Knock Out’ was one of the early people who wanted to see disease resistance and low maintenance become a trait of roses. Dr. Steven W. George and his associates at Texas A&M were also of this mind when they undertook a study of many different roses growing them under minimal maintenance in Texas heat. Water the first year only and annual mulching is all they got. After three years, the survivors numbered in the teens. Some were modern roses like ‘New Dawn’ and ‘The Fairy’ as well as ‘Knock Out’. For northerners, the list of survivors dubbed “Earth -Kind” is even shorter because about half of the list requires Zone 7 or higher. We in Zone 5 and 6 have to be more selective. Below is the list that are OK in northeast Ohio.
Names Year Intro Type Color Coldest Zone ‘Marie Daly’ 1999 Polyantha mp 5 ‘The Fairy’ 1932 Polyantha lp 4 ‘Knock Out’ 2002 Shrub rb 5 ‘Belinda's Dream’ 1992 Shrub mp 5 ‘Else Poulson’ 1924 Floribunda mp 5

‘New Dawn’ 1930 LCl lp 4
‘La Marne’ 1915 Polyantha pb 4 ‘Souv. De St. Anne's’ 1950 Bourbon lp 5 Now back to the “earthquake”… ‘Knockout’ and variations like ‘Double Knock Out’ and ‘Pink Dou- ble Knockout’ have become landscapers’ roses of choice, resulting in the sale of millions of rose bushes. This commercial success has not gone unnoticed by commercial hybridizers. Even if they were already going in this direction, they got major reinforcement of the concept. “Provide roses which don’t get blackspot and you will have a winner.” The American Rose Society has stopped spraying roses in its test gardens. Those receiving awards will necessarily be disease -resistant. European developers like Kordes and Austin were further motivated for years by Europe’s environ- mental sensitivity. The hope for the future is that we will have roses of keen interest to exhibitors and landscapers alike, that won’t need expert care to grow, and the public interest will grow as well. The Cleveland Rose Society was also thus inspired and started a project around 2010 to identify roses other than the Earth -Kind that we thought to be disease -resistant and good winter survivors in our area. The primary criterion was that the roses were not to get the fungal disease blackspot and would survive our coldest winters. The list developed included more than 60 different culti- vars. Roses like the miniature ‘Debut’ is an example that has been observed to not get blackspot. It is being tested without chemical sprays in several gardens. The list is further reviewed from time to time. (Corky Thacker has a presentation on this project, with many beautiful photos of the can- didates.) Cal Schroeck, Cleveland Rose Society

‘Marie Daly’ is a pink sport of the renowned old garden rose ‘Marie Pavie’. It was first selected in Texas by Greg Grant. This delightful polyantha is covered with very fra- grant, semi -double pink flowers that can turn almost white during periods of intense heat. It blooms spring through fall and is well mannered with a graceful rounded form. ‘Marie Daly’ has few thorns and is wonderful for high traffic areas and places where children may play. ‘Mary Daly’ can be very useful in the landscape in a mass planting or as a low hedge. It also does very well in a container where it benefits from excellent air circulation. It is resistant to spider mite problems.ARS:

‘The Fairy’ was first introduced in 1932 and has been popular ever since due to its small size, abundant pink blooms and tough nature. It produces a wealth of small, double, light pink blossoms that may turn blush white during intense heat. ‘The Fairy’ is very useful for small landscapes due to its size with a mature height of 3 feet and a width of 4 feet. It has a low spreading habit that is great for softening harsh angles, or cascading over the edge of a container. It is outstanding in a massed planting to fill a central bed that is surrounded by a walkway in an Earth -Kind ® rose garden or as a border spilling over the front edge of a landscape bed.

Bred by Dr. Robert Basye, Texas, USA. Parentage is ‘Jersey Beau- History ty’ x ‘Tiffany’.
Introduced in 1992, this gorgeous shrub rose was developed by Dr. Robert Basye, a mathematics professor at Texas A&M University and named after the daughter of one of his friends. ‘Belinda’s Dream’ is disease -tolerant and has gorgeous flowers. Used as a specimen plant, a hedge or even in a large pot, this rose has the impact and beauty of a modern hybrid tea, but is much more disease and soil tolerant. It was the first rose to be designated Earth -Kind ® by the Texas AgriLife Extension Ser- vice. The large, very double pink blossoms come in large clusters from spring until frost. Bred in Texas to withstand hot temperatures, it does well in temperate climates as well. It may have some blackspot in cool, damp weather, but its vigor and bloom- ing will not be affected by the disease. Light pruning improves appearance and blooming frequency.

® Growing Tips for Earth -Kind Roses (Courtesy of Texas A &M AgriLife Extension)
For these roses to be as carefree as promised, it is crucial that they receive the following basic care: Planting Site • Plant in locations where roses receive full, direct sunlight for at least eight hours each day. • Choose a location that provides good air movement over the leaves and do not plant too close together or place in cramped, enclosed areas. When a plant is fully grown, there should remain at least one foot of open space all around it to fa- cilitate good air movement. This practice will help reduce the potential for foliar diseases. Bed Preparation • Roses respond well to soils with an adequate balance of aeration, drainage, and water holding characteristics. • For sandy and loam soils, incorporate 3 -6 inches of fully decomposed, plant -derived compost. • For clay soils, consider a one -time incorporation of 3 inches of expanded shale to improve soil aeration, drainage and to make the soil much easier to work. Then incorporate 3 inches of fully de- composed, plant -derived compost. Thoroughly mix the existing soil, expanded shale, and compost into a uniform planting medium. If necessary due to lack of availability or cost, compost can be used as an alternative to expanded shale. • For clay soils, it is also beneficial to create raised beds, crowned (i.e. higher) in the center, to promote drainage. Regardless of soil type, roses benefit from a year -round, 3 -inch layer of organic mulch (e.g. tree limbs, with leaves, that have been run through a chipper) that conserves water, reduces weeds, reduces soil -borne plant diseases, moderates soil temperatures, and provides nutrients as it de- composes. Maintenance • Water thoroughly whenever the soil is dry in the root zone to a depth of one inch. • Watering established plants too frequently can promote root disease, especially in poorly drained soils. • Roses should not be sprinkler irrigated, especially during evening hours or at night. Drip irriga- tion is a much better watering method for plant health and water conservation. • In areas with “salty” water, drip irrigation is needed to eliminate burning of the rose foliage due to salty irrigation spray. • Follow recommended plant spacing and pruning practices. Remove dead, diseased, or broken branches to help promote plant health. • Replenish the mulch as needed to maintain the 3 -inch layer. Remember as the mulch decom- poses, it provides nutrients for plant use. • In most loam or clay soils (other than perhaps in desert areas) if you follow our Earth -Kind com- post and mulch only approach to soil management, then commercial synthetic or organic fertilizers are not required. This is yet another major environmental victory for Earth -Kind.

National Garden Bureau presents 2017 as the Year of the Rose The bureau is working in partnership with the American Rose Society.
March 29, 2017 Press Release
The U.S. National Flower first appeared around 35 million years ago and is part of the Rosaceae fami- ly which is very important for our food supply (think apples, strawberries, etc…), according to a press release from National Garden Bureau . There are more than 150 species of roses but very few are used in today’s gardens.
Roses have been associated with the human population since the earliest recorded history. The oldest record is from China and dates back more than 7,000 years ago and their popularity has never faded since. Modern rose hybridization started in Western Europe in the 18th Century, and today there are more than 11,000 existing varieties of hybrid roses, with more being bred every year. National Garden Bureau is proud to present the Year of the Rose in partnership with the American Rose Society .
The rose industry is divided into three main areas: the fragrance industry, the fresh flower/florist industry and the garden industry. The fragrance industry uses mostly two species, R. Gallica and R. Damascena. The industry is concentrat- ed on the Mediterranean Basin, where the climate is ideal for their culture. It takes 10,000 pounds of rose petals to make one liter of rose oil, one of the most widely used components in making perfumes. The florist rose industry produces more than 1 billion stems a year in more than 30,000 acres of greenhouses worldwide. The industry started in Europe and the U.S. near the main urban centers in the late 19th Cen- tury and has moved into areas with climates better suited for their production. Columbia and Ecuador in South America, Kenya and Ethiopia in Africa and now China and India are the major producing ar- eas, although there is a small but growing trend in the U.S. to produce locally grown fresh flowers once again. Last but not least, garden roses have been front and center in the garden since the Middle Ages when they were widely grown for their medicinal qualities. The industry today is largely concentrated in de- veloped countries (U.S., Europe, Japan, Australia…) but there are big developments in newly industri- alized countries and especially in China.

23 Ball expands rose business with rights to Kordes varieties
Building upon its entry into the rose marketplace with the purchase of Conard Pyle/Star Roses in 2015, Ball Horticultural Company has acquired the U.S. and Canadian master licensing rights for Kordes roses from the current rights -holder, Newflora. Newflora was founded in 2003 by Christine and Gary Pellett; you may recognize the Pellett name from his time with Jackson & Perkins. Kordes Roses, a fifth -generation family -owned business located near Ham- burg, Germany, is the largest rose breeder in the world. Ball’s newest division, Star Roses and Plants, will acquire and manage the exclusive licensing arrangements for Kordes’ garden rose assortment, which will add to the depth and breadth of their overall assortment. Kordes’ potted roses will fall under the management of Ball Ingenuity, which handles other potted plants, such as alstroemeria and celosia, for the corporation. With the agreement comes the responsibility for trialing, supply and patent protection. “We are excited to expand our network of garden rose offerings to our customers, which will ultimately grow the North American market and introduce gardeners to a wider variety of ros- es,” says Steve Hutton, President of Star Roses and Plants. I asked Gary Pellet why he decided to sell the Kordes license to Ball. He replied that he's now 65 and wants to "semi -retire." He and his wife, Christine, will continue to represent Kordes' unique "English -style" cut roses, which are popular with specialty cut flower growers, as they don't ship well, so the big off -shore growers don't tend to grow them.

Consulting Rosarian Update
Bill & Anita Solarz [email protected] Terry Powell and Carolyn J. Sayer have become the Buckeye District’s newest Consulting Ro- sarians. They attended the March 11 th CR School/Audit hosted by the Cincinnati Rose Society and coordinated by Sue and Jerry Dolph. Please congratulate and welcome them.
A CR School/Audit will be hosted in October 2018 by the Forest City Rose Society in North Olmsted. Contact us for details.
Thanks for your CR Reports, sending in your Roses in Review Reports, and your continuing outreach to others.
The Buckeye spring had interesting speakers and some new products that we will be introduc- ing to our roses and other plants and shrubs.
Please keep us updated on your emails, addresses, and phone numbers and especially your CR status. Also, let us know if you see something that we need to correct in the CR listing.
The ARS CR Listing and our Buckeye Listing does not totally agree as of this date. We are working on this challenge and hope to have a total agreement with ARS by the next bulletin.
We hope to see you at the rose shows, Top Gun and the Buckeye Fall Show and Meeting.
Happy roses to all,
Bill & Anita Solarz [email protected] 440 -779 -5712

Buckeye Judges’ Corner WHIT WELLS It is with sadness but with gratitude for the beauty that Whit, with God’s as- sistance, created for the world to enjoy, that I announce the passing ad astra of Whit Wells, the “Maestro of Memphis”, on April 1 st . Thankfully, Whit’s introductions can be obtained from For Love of Roses and from K & M Ros- es.
HORTICULTURE JUDGING SEMINAR Following the Buckeye District Spring Meeting on April 1 st , a four hour hort. judging seminar was held, attended by ten accredited judges and two ARS members interested in becoming judges. Two of the attendees were Len Dr. James Hering Pavuk, Tom Wood and Steve Pyrak for serving on the seminar faculty. [email protected]
DISTRICT SPRING MEETING The spring meeting guest speakers, Kevin Johnson (Natural Alternative) and John Smith (hybridizer), were excellent, and their discussion of Protilizer was of interest to all rose growers. We are grateful to Jim and Bar- bara Zimmerman for their donation for the raffle and the auction of 36 registered potted miniatures which they have hybridized and to Richard Anthony and For Love of Roses for the donation of several new varieties which were auctioned. I want to thank Elton Smith, Mark Miller, Anita Solarz, Tim Hartranft, Ed Keck and Tom Herr for participating as members of the “New Roses” panel.
2017 TOP GUN MEETING Due to illness of both Shirley and Paul Klinefelter, it was necessary for them to withdraw as hosts of this year’s Top Gun Meeting. Therefore, the meeting will be held on the same date, Saturday, July 29 th , but instead of Waldo the venue will be Anne’s and my home in Marion where the meeting was held two years ago. The guest speaker, as announced in the last issue of the Buckeye Bulletin , will be Richard Anthony, and his pro- grams will be “New Exhibition Roses” and “Hybridizing 101”. A registration form can be found in this issue.
2018 AWARD OF EXCELLENCE WINNERS AND 2017 MINIATURE HALL OF FAME HONOREE At the National Miniature Conference in Monrovia, California on April 22 nd two AOE winners for 2018 were announced – Cutie Pie , a miniature by Tom Carruth/Weeks Roses, and Houston Levee , a miniature climber by Richard Anthony/For Love of Roses. The same evening Bees Knees by Keith Zary/Jackson & Per- kins was inducted into the Miniature and Miniflora Rose Hall of Fame as the 2017 honoree.
ROSES IN REVIEW Only 35 Buckeye rosarians submitted Roses in Review reports last year. The list of roses to be reviewed this year can be found in the next issue of American Rose . As Buckeye District RIR chairman I urge you to submit a report this year, regardless of whether you grow any of the roses on the list. I thank you in advance for your participation.

American Rose Society The American Rose Society exists to promote the culture and appreciation of the rose, through education and research to members, to local rose societies and their members, and to the public. http://www.rose.org/
Join or renew your membership http://www.rose.org/join -or -renew/ Our History Founded in 1892, the American Rose Society is the oldest single plant horticultural society in America. The ARS is an educational, nonprofit organization dedicated exclusively to the cultivation and enjoyment of roses. ARS supports its members by providing educational programs, resourceful publications, and continuing re- search. We have more than 300 affiliated rose societies in our national network. Most ARS members are home gardeners like you who enjoy growing roses and want to expand their knowledge of rose culture. Many members also enjoy the thrill of exhibiting their roses in competition with other rose -lovers or participating in photography contests and other rose -related activities. The American Rose Society has developed standards and guidelines for judging these competitions. We also publish a schedule of the various workshops, seminars, garden events and rose shows across the United States. The Society publish- es an award -winning bi -monthly magazine, American Rose , which is devoted exclusively to roses and rose culture. ARS is headquartered on the grounds of the beautiful American Rose Center near Shreveport, Louisiana. The American Rose Center features more than 20,000 rose bushes that comprise nearly 400 cultivars of modern and old garden roses. ARS is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and oper- ated by the staff under the direction of our Executive Director and Executive Committee. All donations are tax deductible, as allowed by law.
Mission Statement The American Rose Society exists to promote the culture and appreciation of the rose, through education and research, to members, to local rose societies and their members, and to the public.
Vision Statement The rose is America’s national Floral Emblem. We aspire to be the nation’s best source for infor- mation, research and education about the rose for our members and for the general public. We will share this information through a website, a national network of Consulting Rosarians, and rose shows and non -competitive rose exhibitions open to the general public.
