ROSARIUM UETERSEN

Reimer Kordes hybridized Rosarium Uetersen in 1977 from Karlsruhe (hybrid kordesii, Kordes, 1957) x seedling.  It was named for the German rose garden that employed him as a hybridizer.  It is a climber with a petal count of 100+, growing 6-12 ft. high and 6+ ft. wide.  The medium to large blooms opens wide and almost flat and has a light scent and leathery green foliage.  The color varies from deep pink to coral with a tint of silvery pink as they age.  The bloom can be singly or in clusters which can get heavy and will tend to droop. It is disease resistant and will rebloom intermittently throughout the season. 

I have seen Rosarium Uetersen in a public garden and also in a rose show where it always gets to the top award table.  I saw this rose at its main flush and the deep rose pink color made a great statement.  At the garden, it was growing draped over a pergola and the pergola was covered with huge clusters of deep pink blooms.  I tried to look for it in some catalogs but for a while I could not find it.  Then last year, I saw it and I ordered it.  They must have changed the name because when the order arrived with the other roses, I could not find it in the box.  As I was unpacking and checking my order, there was one rose left and it was Seminole Wind.  I didn’t remember ordering it.  Then the invoice cleared it up.  Seminole Wind is Rosarium Uetersen.  I have never heard of Seminole Wind before.  It is always exhibited as Rosarium Uetersen.

Roses are not difficult to grow contrary to popular belief as long as you know what they need. Why do you think Roses have been around for millions of years?  All they need are food, water and sunlight.  Just like you and me.

FOURTH OF JULY

Striped Red and White Rose

Parentage: R. 'Roller Coaster' x R. 'Altissimo'.

Won't it be nice to honor our country by having Fourth of July in our garden? This semi-double, gorgeous ruffled petals climber looks like a burst of fireworks when in bloom. It has long, pointed buds and 3" and 4" blooms with striped red and white petals and glossy, dark green foliage. It is a vigorous plant and can grow 10 to 14 ft. high. It is the first climber to be honored as a 1999 All-America Selection winner for a long time. It has strong apple fragrance, a very refreshing scent. Color is dramatic. It is a stunning plant, a real traffic stopper. It is an excellent repeat blooming rose with sensational flowers all season long. Few roses can command attention like Fourth of July.  It is the best climber around winning awards at rose show around the country.  

You can plant them attached to an arch, pergola or trellis for a stunning display of colorful blooms.  Some gardeners use them as a shrub in the entranceway to the garden.  To grow them as a shrub, prune them heavily in the spring.  Fourth of July only has 10-16 petals but when they are in bloom, they are quite a show.  It is very disease resistant and winter hardy. 

I have two Fourth of July in my formal rose beds at my old garden.  I prune them heavily in the spring and grow them as shrub.  Right now at my new home, I planted one in front of the house next to a palm tree thinking of making it climb the palm tree.  But I might just grow it as a shrub.   When Fourth of July is in bloom, it is quite a show.

Roses are easy plants to grow contrary to popular belief. Why do you think Roses have been around for millions of years?  All they need are food, water and sunlight.  Just like you and me.

SALLY HOLMES ROSE

Photo from Heirloom Roses

Hybridizer – Robert A. Holmes

Introduced in U.K. by Fryer’s Roses in 1976

  

Welcome to the World of Rose Gardening or Rose Gardening World.  Here at Rose Gardening World, you’ll find rose articles that will educate you about Roses – Rose History, Rose Culture, Rose Growing, Rose Profiles, Rose Gardening Tips, Rose Gardens and even Rose Verses all in one place.  So visit Rose Gardening World often. 

Take time and smell the roses.  Roses have been around for millions of years which just prove that roses are not difficult to grow. The Rose is also our National Floral Emblem and the state flower of several states.

Sally Holmes Rose was introduced in 1976 and is a cross between Ballerina, a hybrid musk and Ivory Fashion, a Floribunda.  A single rose of five petals with bloom size of 3” to 4” across with yellow stamens.  Sally Holmes Rose is classified as a shrub but it is so vigorous, it can easily be grown as a climber.  I have seen Sally Holmes Rose at a friend’s front yard and it is quite a sight.  The rose grows all the way to the second floor, it has to be tied strongly to the wall for support.  It can grow from 6’ as a shrub and up to 12’ as a climber with almost thornless canes.  Sally Holmes Rose is considered a white shrub rose but her tight buds will appear light apricot maturing to white with a tint of pink at the edges.  Foliage is glossy and very disease-resistant.  It is also shade tolerant.  It has a sweet fragrance.  If you are an exhibitor, it constantly wins awards at the show table.  Sally Holmes Rose is truly a spectacular rose.

Awards: 

Baden-Baden GM 1960

Glasgow – Fragrance 1993

Portland GM 1996

CLIMBING ROSES

Welcome to the World of Rose Gardening or Rose Gardening World.  Here at Rose Gardening World, you’ll find rose articles that will educate you about Roses – Rose History, Rose Culture, Rose Growing, Rose Profiles, Rose Gardening Tips, Rose Gardens and even Rose Verses all in one place.  So visit Rose Gardening World often. 

Take time and smell the roses.  Roses have been around for millions of years which just prove that roses are not difficult to grow. The Rose is also our National Floral Emblem and the state flower of several states. 

Climbing roses are group of roses with very long, flexible canes.  There is really no such thing as climbing roses because roses do not climb.  Climbing roses is a misnomer because roses do not have tendrils like vines that curl or wrap around a support.  Instead to ascend and tumble over the top of a trellis, pergola, fence or wall, roses need help from the gardener.  Climbing roses have to be trained and tied to their support.  Some varieties have been bred to do so like Cl. Queen Elizabeth and others like Altissimo just naturally have this leggy growth habit.

It is important to bend the long canes of climbing roses in order to ensure a perfusion of blooms.   The act of bending the canes into arches and tying them in that position actually stimulates all the bud eyes along the top of the arch to produce laterals.  Each lateral in turn will produce a bloom.  If you do not bend the canes of climbing roses, you will usually get a bloom only at the very end of each long cane.  Your trellis will be covered by lots of leaves and not many flowers.

Here is a list of some excellent climbing roses:

New Dawn – light pink

Rosarium Uetersen – deep pink

Altissimo – medium red

Fourth of July – red blend

Pierre de Ronsard – pink blend

Don Juan – dark red

America – orange pink

Sombreuil - white

Clair Matin – medium pink

Dublin Bay – medium red

Climbing Hybrid Tea 'Mercedes Gallart' x 'New Dawn'
Hybridizer - Boerner, 1949

Aloha is a rose of medium pink color with strong fragrance, reminiscent of Hybrid Perpetuals. This large flowered climber has beautiful blooms on long canes, and a long flowering season, blooming heavily in late spring to early summer, followed by excellent repeat bloom through summer and fall. Most often, flowers come in clusters and occasionally singly. The large, rounded buds open to very double cupped flowers (58 petals) up to 4 inches across. The petals are a medium rosy pink on top with a deeper rose-pink reverse. All the petals have pale edges, and drop cleanly and never ball. Foliage is dark, glossy and leathery and is a disease resistant but may show some powdery mildew if not given enough space with good air circulation. Aloha is a versatile plant, classified as a climber but can also be used as a shrub. With pruning, it can make a long blooming shrub for a mixed border. As a climber, it can climb 8 to 12 ft. tall with the support of a post, pillar, arbor, fence or trellis. The canes are very attractive arranged on an espalier. It is important to train the canes early on as they tend to get too thick and are impossible to train.
