The unmistakable scent of roses filled my office at Brooklyn Botanic Garden as pink petals fell to the floor from a fresh cut specimen President’s Corner 2 of a rose simply labeled “Shipwreck Rose from Sag Harbor” with a note attached: “Can you identify this rose?” signed, Carol Olejnik, of Sag Harbor. A call to Carol filled me in with some interesting missing details: the rose grew in her garden for TIPS 2 many years, originating from a cutting of a bush that had been in the family ever since April 13, 1840. Carol was able to give a specific date, since that was the day the packet, Louis Philippe, ran aground off of Mecox beach. One of Carol’s Ready, Set, Grow! 5 ancestors was on the beach when the extensive cargo of champagne, furniture, and roses washed ashore.

  • Marion Garden Rose Garden
    Marion Garden Rose Garden The Rose Garden is a work in constant change to demonstrate how to grow and maintain a variety of roses that are suitable for home gardens in the Willamette Valley. Selection of plants has been based on suitability for landscape use, resistance to disease, repeat blooming, and availability to the home gardener. If we find that a rose bush has a lot of disease problems or does not bloom well it is removed. The visitor will find mostly hybrid teas but also floribundas, grandifloras, shrub roses and an English (Austin) rose. There is also one upright climbing rose named ‘Antique’. Two clematis vines (Viola and Asso) have been planted on either side of the climbing rose trellis. Clematis are a good compliment to large climbing roses and add interest and color to the garden. All the rose bushes have ID tags which include the name of the rose, type, any awards it has received, name of the hybridizer, and the year the rose was introduced. There are a couple of roses that do not have ID tags because they were donated and names were not known. They are good disease resistant plants with a good bloom habit so are used for cuttings for rose propagation workshops. There is also a Lonicera fragrantissima (winter honeysuckle, January jasmine, or Chinese honeysuckle) growing on the northwest corner of the rose garden. It has fragrant white flowers in January and February. It was there when this garden was started and is a nice shrub for the home garden. It is pruned in the spring after it finishes blooming.

The relatively new practice of deliberate hand- pollinated hybridization was producing a myriad of diversity in the world of roses. Emerging out of this renaissance were roses that were genetically blended, having traits derived from both parents. A quote from a July 5, 1902 issue of The Garden gives some insight into how the world of roses was evolving; “Now with the wholesome growth of all good gardening, many new garden Roses have been produced, and now there are not only Roses for beds but Roses for bushy masses, for rambling into trees, for tumbling over banks and boulders, for crowning low walls, and Roses so various in habit that there are kinds to suit gardens that are in immediate connexion [sic] with the most refined architecture as well as those of the best cottage class.” Accompanying this high tide of rose production was an ever-increasing number of single- flowered roses of all classes, many reflecting efforts to create remontant hybrids out of the older once- blooming types.

In Roses from Abroad: this excerpt from a recent issue of American Rose , Jeff Wyckoff decodes the Kordes Rose Decoding Kordes Collection and gives advice to those interested in growing and exhibiting these unique roses. 2 President’s Letter The firm of W. Kordes Söhne (Wilhelm Kordes’ Sons) was founded in Sparrieshoop, Germany in 1919 by Wilhelm Kordes II and his brother 3 Hermann Kordes. Their father, Wilhelm I, had started a nursery business in A Look Back Elmshorn in 1887. Although some of their early varieties were apparently bred by SRS: 2003-2007 Hermann, Wilhelm II quickly became the chief hybridizer. He was followed by his son Reimer, who died in 1997, and by Reiner’s son Wilhelm III. Two of Hermann’s sons, 4 - 5 THermann and Werner, plus other family members have been, and continue to be, The Season in Pictures involved in the company. W. Kordes Söhne recognizes 1887 as their founding date, and will celebrate their 125th anniversary next year. In this time they have introduced thousands of roses to commerce around the world. Their impact on the American rose market is evidenced by the fact that five Kordes varieties are among the ten highest rated floribundas listed in the 2011 Handbook for Selecting Roses, as are four of the five highest rated shrubs.

  • All About Roses
    ALL ABOUT ROSES Exhibiting Roses Let's Go To a Rose Show - Exhibiting Old Garden Roses by Jeri Jennings You may not intend to make exhibiting a big part of your love of roses. Even so, if you’re going to do it at all, you might as well do it WELL. It’s REALLY not Rocket Science. The mechanics of showing Old Roses varies not one whit from the mechanics of showing Modern ones. If, therefore, you already know all there is to know about showing Modern roses - stop reading - NOW! If, on the other hand, you don’t know it all, stick with me for a few basics. FIRST, READ THE RULES: (THE SHOW SCHEDULE) The Show Schedule lays out the ‘Rules Of The Road’ for each rose show. The rules may differ widely from one show to another, and the classes and their numbers ALWAYS vary. Read the whole thing before you even start picking roses, so you know what to pick. You’ll almost always see a class for ‘Old Garden Roses Introduced Before 1867' (that’s the competition for Dowager Queen) and ‘Old Garden Roses Introduced In 1867 Or Later’ (that’s competition for the ARS Victorian Rose Award). Both of these are ‘Certificate Classes.’ In other words, almost every club offers an ARS Certificate to the winners of these classes. Most people who’ve exhibited roses for a while come to look beyond the trophy, and place more personal value on the ARS Certificates. Look through all of the ‘Challenge Classes.’ You may find classes open to ‘any large rose.’ These might include Floating Bowl, English Box, Artists Palette, Picture Frame, Most Fragrant, and so forth.
