  • The Explorer Rose Garden Is Finished by Sharon Saunders
    Friends of the Central Experimental Farm Summer 2014 Newsletter Volume 26 No. 3 The Explorer Rose Garden is Finished By Sharon Saunders greenhouse. In early May, the irrigation system was reconfigured and buried, and the soil level was brought up to grade using a combination of compost [bottom fill] and triple mix [top dressing]. By mid-May the post and rail fences were installed, creating the two borders separated by a wide path. The whole area was made level so there was no more stepping down into these new beds. The surrounding area was over-seeded with a grass and clover mix; the first cut was three weeks after sowing. The salvaged roses, 13 in all, were transplanted in mid-July into the new borders, flowering for a second time in a year. In October, the final stage of the remake was completed with the elimination of the large rectangular bed, keeping only the three pillar roses. Other roses from this bed were transplanted to the new borders or to the Heritage Rose Garden. The area was f f i l filled in with compost and triple mix, c h c n levelled and over-seeded. In addition, the i H . soil in the beds surrounding the Gazebo was R Explorer Rose Garden, 2013 raised to grade, which should revitalize the roses in that area. The former two signs (English and French) six-year project to re-configure the Explorer Rose Garden describing the collection will be placed in the new beds – one Ais complete – well, at least for now.

  • Rautio P.; Ruusunjalostaja Felicitas Svejda (1920-2016)
    Ruusunjalostaja Felicitas Svejda (1920-2016) Pirjo Rautio Suosittujen Explorer -ruusulajikkeiden jalostaja Felicitas Svejda kuoli 95-vuotiaana 18.1.2016 Alzheimerin taudin komplikaatioihin Ottawassa Kanadassa. Felicitas Svejda syntyi 8.11.1920 Wienissä. Hän opiskeli Wienin yliopistossa maa- ja metsätaloustiedettä ja valmistui 1948. V. 1952 Svejda jatkoi Ruotsissa koulutustaan kasvinjalostuksessa työskentelemällä tutkimusasemalla (Sveriges Utsädesförening) Svalöfissä. V.1953 Hän muutti Kanadaan toivoen voivansa työsken- nellä viljakasvien parissa Central Experimental Farmil- la Ottawassa. Koristekasviosaston katsottiin kuitenkin so- pivan paremmin naisille. Aikaisemmin siellä oli jo työs- kennellyt syreenejä jalostanut Isabelle Preston. V. 1961 häntä kehotettiin jalostamaan ruusuja. Myöhemmin hän on tunnustanut, ettei hän tiennyt mitään ruusuista. Pe- rehtyessään asiaan hän tutustui myös harrastajajalostajien saavutuksiin. Felicitas Svejda Europa-Rosarium Sangerhausenissa v. 2011. Kuva: Anita Böhm-Krutzinna Ottawan lämpötila vaihtelee paljon: -32 astetta Celsiusta talvella ja +35 astetta kesällä. Kasvukausi on lyhyt, sillä keskimäärin on vain 137 pakkasetonta päivää vuodessa. Talvenkestävyys oli siis erittäin tärkeää. Remontoivat ru- usut eivät kestäneet kuin suojaisilla rannikkoseuduilla. Svejdan jalostusohjelma alkoi v. 1961 ja perustui pääasi- assa R. rugosa- ja kordesii-hybrideihin sekä ruusuihin, jotka kanadalainen jalostaja Robert Simonet oli antanut hänen käyttöönsä. Työtoverit ja ruusupiirit eivät hyväksyneet hänen jalostusohjelmaansa,

Проаналізовано колекційний фонд троянд Національного ботанічно- го саду імені М. М. Гришка НАН України. У результаті проведеного скринінгу колекції виявлено 17 сортів канадської селекції, серед них 6 сортів серії Explorer та 7 сортів серії Parkland.

From charming gardens and intimate restaurants to jewellery shopping and jaw-dropping views, there are plenty of opportunities to create lasting memories in the Eternal City. Spend a romantic weekend away in Rome with the help of this two-day itinerary. Day One Start the day with a 20-minute drive to The Orange Garden. THE ORANGE GARDEN Via di Santa Sabina, 00153 Rome While its name suggests that the highlight of The Orange Garden (Giardino degli Aranci or Parco Savello) is its orchard of fruit trees, its views are, in fact, its most captivating attraction. The pocket- sized garden directly overlooks St Peter’s Basilica and its terrace offers unbelievably beautiful views of Rome. Visit with your partner in the morning, when the sun casts an enchanting glow over the city. Take a short five-minute walk to the next garden on the itinerary. ROME ROSE GARDEN T: 006 574 6810 | Via di Valle Murcia 6, 00153 Rome Nothing says romance like a walk through a blossoming rose garden. Rome Rose Garden (Roseto Comunale) at the foot of Aventino Hill is one of the city’s most charming green spaces. Open from May to October each year, the garden is filled with over 1,000 different varieties of botanical roses from all over the world, with some dating back to Roman times. Then, take a 25-minute drive to Keats-Shelley House.
