As I approach my third year in my amazing journey as Executive Director of the WFRS, I feel a great sense of pride, and indeed, privilege to be in this prestigious role during the Federation’s 50th year. I have often wondered what the role of Secretary was like half a century ago. Thumbing through the archives, can only scratch the surface. Although, initially at it’s founding in London on 4th July 1968, the organisation comprised of fourteen Member Countries and was in its infancy. However, technology was limited to the use of a telephone, typewriter, basic printer and huge metal filing cabinets. Documents would have been sent via the postal service. Fifty years on, my office is furnished by a laser printer and devices that grant access to the worldwide web. Thanks to great technological advances, we can all contact each other in an instant, wherever we reside in the world. In many ways, improved communication processes have enhanced relationships we enjoy with our worldwide members. I wonder what our forefathers would have thought of the advancements we have made in the last 50 years of our existence. With the advent of the WFRS Award of Garden Excellence, Literary Award, Breeders Club, improved International Rose Trials and digital copies of World Rose News, the rose world has become an all encompassing domain. As you delve into the Triennial Report, you will instantly realise that a great deal has been achieved within the last three years, through the immense and dedicated hard work and team spirit of the Executive and Standing Committees. We have been working on improved protocols and guidelines of how the WFRS conducts its business. In essence, it is hoped that this will secure a better understanding on how the organisation is managed. This especially is applicable for those countries which do not use English as their first language. It would be a fabulous accomplishment to encourage non-English speaking members to take an active part in the Federation’s affairs and aspirations. We must accept new challenges, in this fast- paced, ever changing world. Over the past three years many issues have been debated at great length to address our future requirements. One important subject has been the WFRS Award of Garden Excellence. It was decided to adopt a new set of rules on judging the gardens nominated, that include the owners producing a short video of the garden and to Increase the judge’s considered markings from 5 to 10 points. Discussions took place to establish a set of criteria to ensure that the standard of the winning garden will be maintained in the future. It was decided to reduce the number of winners being granted the award every three years to a maximum of ten recipients only. The Convention Committee have been looking at ways of improving communication and giving sound advice in what is involved in creating and preparing a WFRS Regional or World Rose Convention for potential organisers. A guide book has been produced on the back of feedback duly received by the Chairman of the Convention Liaison Committee, Mrs. Helga Brichet. It is hoped that it will be published later in the year. The Honours Committee have been deliberating on how it can improve and simplify the procedures, and set criteria for WFRS Honours to be considered. The final draft of its recommendations will be presented to Council in Copenhagen. 4 The Conservation and Heritage Committee have had lengthy discussions in recent years in regard to a new international and workable solution for the definition of heritage roses. During the Regional Convention held in Ljubljana, Slovenia, last year, the Committee overwhelmingly agreed to approve the proposal of a new definition, which Mr. David Elliott, of Canada had mooted. During the past three years, the Committee have debated the possibility of creating an international database, for growers to register endangered species of roses. The proposed scheme has encountered logistical and technical issues, but the Committee hopes to continue the project and reach eventual goals. The Federation continues its sterling work as an International charity. The Piaget Foundation, which is a trust fund, was formed in recognition of monies, donated by Mr. Piaget, has proved a great asset in supporting various rose-related projects. The Federation donated £5 000 to the Europa-Rosarium, Sangerhausen in Germany. The Crepin Collection at the Botanic Rose Herbarium, Belgium received £7 500. The American Rose Society plans to create a Learning Centre for young people on rose culture and £2,500 has been set aside for this worthy project. After much debate, £5 000 has been reserved for the proposed project to digitize the Federation’s archives for the benefit of future generations. Donors to the Friends of the Federation scheme now total 95 people and have contributed over £7 600 since the scheme was introduced in 2010. Plans for the Golden Jubilee celebration in Copenhagen have kept us on our toes! A competition was launched to name the charming anniversary rose, which is due to be baptised at a special ceremony during the 18th World Rose Convention in Valby Park, Copenhagen. The Publications Committee have been diligently working on a special commemorative book, to be published during the World Convention, to mark the occasion. The book will delve into the Federation’s fascinating archives, to recall 50 glorious years of the World Federation of Rose Societies. At the beginning of this Foreword, I mentioned the technological advances in communication, and wonder how the WFRS in 1968 would ever have envisaged such a huge shift in which we all conduct our global communications in the 21st Century. The huge success of our Facebook page, is just a taster for what lies ahead in the future. We must embrace this form of media, to ensure the World Federation of Rose Societies continues its charitable aims, to promote the sheer beauty of the rose and make our remarkable planet, a better and brighter place in which to live. Happy anniversary to you all. RNRS - Gardens of the Rose, Chiswell Green, St Albans 5 PREFACE Inger Schierning President of the Danish Rose Society WFRS VP for Europe (North) Convenor of A Fairytale of Roses – WRC2018 (Denmark) together with Ken Grapes, WFRS Past President - mentor and member of DRS Any organisation with a membership of forty countries across the world is notable. For a horticultural organisation concerned with a single plant genus to have such a global following is truly remarkable. I refer of course, to the World Federation of Rose Societies which will celebrate, in June 2018, its 50th anniversary at its triennial World Rose Convention in Copenhagen, the beautiful capital city of Denmark.

  • 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 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.
