Every Rose has been chosen from many as being outstanding in its color or class, whether it is a recent All-America Winner or an old favorite. From thousands of studied crosses our research has brought you such marvelous Roses as Charlotte Armstrong and Mirandy. Now for 1948 four new Armstrong Roses are All-America Winners. AARS stands for All-America Rose Selections, a national, non-profit organi- zation set up to scientifically test all new Roses and to select the best of each year's introductions for national awards. All entries are planted for official test in nineteen carefully selected All-America trial gardens, scattered throughout America and representing every Rose growing climate and location.

  • Preliminary Phylogeny of Diplostephium (Asteraceae): Speciation Rate and Character Evolution
    NUMBER 15 VARGAS AND MADRIN˜ A´ N: SPECIATION AND CHARACTER EVOLUTION OF DIPLOSTEPHIUM 1 PRELIMINARY PHYLOGENY OF DIPLOSTEPHIUM (ASTERACEAE): SPECIATION RATE AND CHARACTER EVOLUTION Oscar M. Vargas1,2 and Santiago Madrin˜a´n2 1Section of Integrative Biology and the Plant Resources Center, The University of Texas, 205 W 24th St., Stop CO930, Austin, Texas 78712 U.S.A., email: [email protected] 2Laboratorio de Bota´nica y Sistema´tica Universidad de los Andes, Apartado Ae´reo 4976, Bogota´, D. C., Colombia Abstract: Diplostephium comprises 111 neotropical species that live in high elevation habitats from Costa Rica to Chile. Primarily Andean, the genus seems to have undergone an adaptive radiation indicated by its high number of species, broad morphological variation, and diversification primarily in an ecosystem (pa´ramo) that formed within the last 2–5 my. Internal transcriber spacer (ITS) sequences and several chloroplast markers, rpoB, rpoC1, and psbA-trnH were sequenced in order to infer a preliminary phylogeny of the genus. The chloroplast regions showed no significant variation within the genus. New ITS data were therefore analyzed together with published sequences for generating a topology. Results suggest that Diplostephium and other South American genera comprise a polytomy within which a previously described North American clade is nested. Monophyly of Diplostephium was neither supported nor rejected, but the formation of a main crown clade using different methods of analysis suggests that at least a good portion of the genus is monophyletic. A Shimodaira-Hasegawa test comparing the topology obtained and a constrained one forcing Diplostephium to be monophyletic showed no significant difference between them.

  • Kirstenbosch NBG List of Plants That Provide Food for Honey Bees
    Indigenous South African Plants that Provide Food for Honey Bees Honey bees feed on nectar (carbohydrates) and pollen (protein) from a wide variety of flowering plants. While the honey bee forages for nectar and pollen, it transfers pollen from one flower to another, providing the service of pollination, which allows the plant to reproduce. However, bees don’t pollinate all flowers that they visit. This list is based on observations of bees visiting flowers in Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, and on a variety of references, in particular the following: Plant of the Week articles on www.PlantZAfrica.com Johannsmeier, M.F. 2005. Beeplants of the South-Western Cape, Nectar and pollen sources of honeybees (revised and expanded). Plant Protection Research Institute Handbook No. 17. Agricultural Research Council, Plant Protection Research Institute, Pretoria, South Africa This list is primarily Western Cape, but does have application elsewhere.

  • Landscape Guidelines
    LANDSCAPE GUIDELINES 1. Introduction 1.1 General comment on Fransche Hoek Estate site The aim of the landscape design is to create a place where life can be celebrated and nature appreciated, where man lives in harmony with the natural environment and to create a landscape where agriculture, private properties, commercial and other facilities and nature blend into a coherent whole. The principles of biodiversity conservation permeate all aspects of the landscape design (see also “Fransche Hoek Estate, Landscape Design Framework” (3 August 2005). In the initial proposal, the estate is divided into three zones (see also Section 2). All drainage lines or river edges need to be rated as Zone 1. Any invasive or weed-like species on this estate has the potential to spread throughout the Berg River system and should thus be removed. There are currently enough problems with invasive species in this river system without irresponsibly adding more. Plant lists for Zones 1, 2 and 3 appear in Addendum 2 & 3. The hybridization of Protea species in the reserve area from plantings in Zone 2 is of concern. This problem is similarly evident in the Paarl Mountain Nature Reserve. The Estate has a responsibility to not contribute to the problem in the La Rochelle Reserve. Protea species that tend towards hybridization and that should not be grown on the estate at all include Protea neriifolia, Protea susannae, Protea longifolia, fertile Protea hybrids (most of them), Leucadendron conicum, Leucadendron macowanii, Leucadendron uliginosum, Leucadendron loeriense and Leucospermum patersonii. Leucospermum cordifolium and Leucospermum cordifolium hybrids should only be grown in Zone 3.

  • TECHNICAL REPORT Effect of the Growth Retardant Cycocel® On
    TECHNICAL REPORT Effect of the growth retardant Cycocel® on the growth and flowering of Felicia aethiopica as a flowering potted plant Berry D.A., Laubscher, C.P. and Mabela, H.T. Faculty of Applied Sciences, Department of Horticultural Sciences, Cape Peninsula University of Technology, PO Box 652, Cape Town, 8000, South Africa. ABSTRACT The Wild aster (Felicia aethiopica) was identified as a potential flowering potted plant due to its suitability to be grown in containers and its flowering period. However, the plant is naturally too tall for pot production. The plant growth retardant Cycocel® was selected as a possible means of controlling its growth habit. Plants were tested with five different concentrations (control, 800, 1 000, 1 250 and 1 500 ppm) applied as a foliar spray. Plants were cut back to 10 cm in height before the first application of Cycocel® was applied. The second application was applied 3 weeks later. After the first application, it was observed that all concentrations showed signs of leaf yellowing (chlorosis). The degree of yellowing increased with each concentration. The 800 ppm concentration produced shorter plants than the control. Although there were significant differences in plant width in week 8 and 10, Cycocel ® had no effect on reducing plant width in relation to the control. Cycocel® showed a positive effect on lateral branching and flower bud development towards the end of the experiment. The control was rated the most compact out of the 5 concentrations, but this is a result of the parameters set to measure each plant’s compactness. Keywords: Felicia aethiopica, Chlormequat (2-chlorethyl) trimethylammonium chloride, parts per million, potted plants, plant height, flowering.
