District Director's Report Summer 2017 Volume 56:2 District Director’s Report By Ralph Stream, Master Rosarian 352-591-4474, [email protected] With the 2017 Spring rose show season just about over, I must say I am impressed with the size of shows Jean and I have attended. I see shows perhaps a full one-third larger for most areas. I have been told that even the shows at the west end of our district have grown larger as well. Getting folks interested in exhibiting roses again was and will continue to be at the top of my wish list for our district. I am a big believer that when rose clubs host a rose show that it becomes stronger by working together and enjoying the public reaction as well. I am still looking for a host for the 2019 Fall District Convention and Rose Show. The Mid-Winter Meetings through 2019 have host societies committed; I even have a “maybe” for the 2020 MWM. Chris Woods and I have made a good team in finding willing societies to take on one of this district’s fun and usually money-making events. Thank you, volunteers. In This Issue What’s next? Tallahassee! Please make sure to mark your calendar Director’s Report 1 for the Tallahassee Fall District Convention and Rose Show. Details and dates Recognizing Our Writers 3 are within these pages. Remembering Anne Paul 4 Horticulture Judges 4 Your District Board members are working on ways to improve how Arrangement Judges 6 we do business and communicate with DSD Societies. One idea is to take Consulting Rosarians 6 another look at the Host Sharing of Event Profits with the District. A lot of Rose Research Update 9 people don’t understand that the only way the District can stay affiliated with DSD Treasurer Report 11 the ARS is to pay its $1,000 annual Affiliate dues. The District’s primary 2016 Photo Contest Results 11 income is from its Society Affiliate dues, which fall short of the ARS annual 2017 Photo Contest Rules 13 Our Home on the Web 15 Affiliate dues. In short, shared profits are essential to keep our heads above Heritage Rose Foundation Mtg 16 water. Some District events make a lot of profit, while others do not. It all CR School in Tallahassee in June 21 comes down to getting event costs down and getting as much donations as ARS Fall National Convention 23 possible. DSD Fall Convention 27 Rose Show Results 27 Another District Board item is an all-District directory, a Who’s Who DSD Bulletin Subscription 36 type informational directory. It would not be mandatory to have your ARS Membership Information 36 ARS 125th Birthday Contest 37 The rose above is ‘Elina’, which won Hybrid Tea DSD Officers & Chairs 41 Queen at the Thomasville Rose Show this year. It Coming Events 42 was exhibited by Glenn Schulman. The Deep South District Bulletin Spring 2017 information published. This came about from my getting requests as to how to contact individuals in our district, such as Consulting Rosarians, rose show judges, and speakers. We are thinking along the lines of asking each of our 25 society presidents or treasurers to compile an alphabetical list of members’ contact information and positions, either local, district, or national. This compiled total list, I am thinking, would be available on the DSD website where it could be viewed and/or printed. I am looking for an individual or a team who would be willing to work on the information compilation, with my assistance of course. If this challenge interests you, let me know so we can talk. As many of you know the ARS is celebrating its 125th Birthday this year (Year of the Rose Theme). To celebrate and gain monetary support, they have set up a 125th Birthday Grand Drawing, raffle per se. Each chance in the drawing/raffle costs $125, a small amount considering some of the items being offered. The most exciting couple of items to me are a personal tour of Will Radler’s garden (home of ‘Knock Out®’ hybridizer). Second is to name a rose, sponsored by “For Love of Roses”. There are 22 or 23 different opportunities to win. All winners will be announced January 15, 2018. To enter go on the ARS website for details. We here in the Deep South District have a lot to be thankful for, with no snow and warm weather most of the year. We can enjoy and grow our roses year-round, plus we have a lot of activities with fun things to take advantage of and most are free. Don’t forget the CR School and Seminar in June; it will be interesting and educational. Hope your summer is a healthy and fun one.

I also know that most of us cannot write an article without support and assistance (and perhaps chocolate or an adult beverage). So to all the unnamed helpers, thank you. And to all our winners, Congratulations! 3 The Deep South District Bulletin Spring 2017 Remembering Anne Paul By Connie Vierbicky, Master Rosarian 941 922-6006, [email protected] On a sad note, our beloved past-president, Anne Paul, after a lengthy illness, passed away on February 20. She was 76 years old. She was surrounded by her loving family and grandchildren at the time of her passing. Anne was born in Durham, North Carolina, moved to Sudbury, Massachusetts, and finally moved south later in life to live in Lakewood Ranch, Florida. She had a beautiful rose garden at her home and was a very active BSRS member for years. She was our program chairman, served on the BSRS board, was our VP, and then became president. She was awarded the ARS Bronze Honor Medal for outstanding service to the BSRS. She was also awarded the ARS Silver Honor Medal for distinguished service to the Deep South District in 2012. And, our rose festival was started by Anne Paul. The BSRS has recently planted a David Austin rose called ‘Princess Anne’ [photo right] in the Phillippi Mansion Garden to honor this wonderful, kind lady with a beautiful personality and a great sense of humor. This rose is a deep pink rose/yellow reverse with many petals bursting with sunshine….just like Anne. I loved what her son, Jim Paul, said in her obituary commentary, “The waters are calm now and the sky is sunny. The wind is gently blowing through your hair.

  • Compound Identification of Selected Rose Species and Cultivars: an Insight to Petal and Leaf Phenolic Profiles
    J. AMER.SOC.HORT.SCI. 139(2):157–166. 2014. Compound Identification of Selected Rose Species and Cultivars: an Insight to Petal and Leaf Phenolic Profiles Vlasta Cunja1, Maja Mikulic-Petkovsek, Franci Stampar, and Valentina Schmitzer University of Ljubljana, Biotechnical Faculty, Department of Agronomy, Chair for Fruit, Wine and Vegetable Growing, Jamnikarjeva 101, SI-1000 Ljubljana, Slovenia ADDITIONAL INDEX WORDS. anthocyanins, flavanols, flavonols, hydrolysable tannins, phenolic acids, Rosa ABSTRACT. Using high-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry, leaf and petal phenolic profiles of four rose (Rosa) species (R. canina, R. glauca, R. rubiginosa, R. sempervirens) traditionally used for medicinal purposes and three modern rose cultivars (Rosarium Uetersen, Ulrich Brunner Fils, Schwanensee) were determined. An abundance of phenolic constituents was identified: seven different anthocyanins and 31 flavonols in petals; 30 flavonols, 14 phenolic acids, and their derivatives; 15 flavanols; and 20 hydrolysable tannins in leaves. Additionally, petal color was measured with a colorimeter and regression analysis indicated a strong correlation between color parameter a* and total anthocyanin content. The content and composition of phenolic compounds varied significantly among species and cultivars and plant organs investigated. Distinct differences in the distribution of leaf phenolic compounds were observed, especially between Rosa species and modern rose cultivars. In general, leaves of analyzed species were richer in content of most phenolic groups and individual components compared with cultivars. Multivariate statistical analysis clustered the investigated species and cultivars into three distinct groups. Among species, leaves of R. canina stood out with their high and varied phenolic content. Conversely, leaves of the susceptible cultivar Schwanensee appeared most dissimilar as a result of their low levels of phenolic constituents.

    ROME HOTEL EDEN Two day itinerary: Romance Italians are considered some of the most romantic people in the world, so where better to celebrate your love than in the Italian capital of Rome? 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.

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.
