NOTES RELEVANT TO PAGES 5-51.
1 Growers have individual terms for describing varieties, which
when produced on a Standard stem have a ‘weeping’ or
‘cushion’ habit. These are produced by using lax shrub or
ground cover varieties. In catalogues these are normally shown
as Weeping Standards or Speciality Standards The height of
stems used by individual growers may differ
2 Canary Bird and Rosa Xanthina. Canary Bird is probably a
cross between R. Hugonis and R. Xanthina. R. Xanthina is
similar in colour to Canary Bird (i.e. yellow), but whereas Canary
Bird is single R. Xanthina is double. Many nurseries in error list
Canary Bird as the same as R. Xanthina. For the purpose of this
booklet both varieties are listed under Canary Bird.
3 Miniature Weeping Standard and Miniature Standard, the
same explanation as given in note number (1).
4 Climbing Roses: Most modern climbers are repeat flowering,
and like old ramblers are not available in bush form. Where a
climber has developed from an established bush variety, it is
known as a climbing ‘sport’. Such climbers are shown under
the bush variety of that name. When pruning a climbing sport
be careful not to cut it back too hard, or the plant may revert to
a bush.
5 Standard Roses: Many different types of Standard roses are
available, and terms used can be a little confusing. Budding a
bush, shrub, ground cover or climbing/rambler onto a
Standard Stem creates standards. There can be considerable
variation in heights of all forms of Standards so you are
strongly recommended to seek further information from your
supplier.
Growers details see pages 52-59
51
A rough guide to the heights is as follows. Weeping Standards
122-152cm (4'-5') Most Speciality Standards will be at the
height for Standards (mostly created from bush roses) also
termed as Full Standards 99-114cm (3'3"-3'9"): Half Standards
76-84 cm (2'6"-2'9") There are many growers now using an
80cm stem and often list these as Standards rather than Half
Standards in Find That Rose where known these have been
listed as Half Standards: Quarter Standards, Miniature Weeping
Standards and Patio Standards 46-61cm (1'6"-2'); Miniature
Standards 31-61cm (12"-18")
6 Rosa Mulliganii and Longicuspis. Some concern has arisen
in the trade regarding the variety listed in this country as
Longicuspis: an authority is of the opinion that the variety
purported to be Longicuspis is in fact Rosa Mulliganii.
7 Jenny Duval. In various editions of Find That Rose this variety
has been offered for sale. For this Edition no one is listing Jenny
Duval. However for interested readers the variety Jenny Duval is
believed to be the same as President de Séze. There are still
some who claim they are different varieties.
8 Rosa Gigantes. This variety is not grown but is referred to in
connection with Cooper’s Burmese, which is closely related.
9 The Ground Cover Flower Carpet varieties are registered
under a trade name of Flower Carpet with the selling name
attached.For the purpose of this book they can be found under
the following names in alphabetic order Coral Flower Carpet
Pink Flower Carpet, Red Flower Carpet, Sunshine Flower Carpet,
Twilight Flower Carpet, and White Flower Carpet. A similar
situation applies to Floorshow roses ie Baroquet Floorshow,
Crimson Floorshow, Magenta Floorshow, Orange Floorshow,
Rosy Floorshow, White Floorshow and Yellow Floorshow
10 In addition to Flower Carpet and Floorshow varieties, more
and more Breeders are using special terms for collection of
varieties for marketing purposes. You will find for instance
varieties of various colours called Palace roses (floribunda), Hit
(Patio) Castle (floribunda) Many of these are listed under the
colour of the variety e.g. Pink Hit, but many have additional
more attractive selling names. Particularly Castle roses such as
Cream Castle known as Perfect Day. If you are trying to trace
roses where you are uncertain of the selling name then make a
particular note of the International Registered name which in this
book appears in brackets after the variety
11 ‘Comte De Chambord’ and ‘Mdm Knorr’. The Editor has
been concerned of what appears to be some misconception in
certain Directories which state that these roses are the same.
However research undertaken and historic books say otherwise.
The Editor also in unaware of any U.K. Grower listing a variety
called ‘Mdm Knorr’ The Editor having discussed this matter with
Peter Beales (who is highly qualified to comment on older
varieties) believes that the variety listed in the U.K. under ‘Comte
de Chambord’ is true to that name. Mr Beales himself states
that some years ago he acquired some buds of a rose called
‘Mdm Knorr’ from America and concluded that when he realised
it was very much like ‘Comte de Chambord’, but far less healthy,
he dropped it from his firms list. He is of the opinion that
America grows ‘Mdm Knorr’ and the U.K. grows ‘Comte de
Chambord’
12 ‘Jacques Cartier’ and ‘Marchesa Boccella’. At the
suggestion of a British Rose Growers Assocation member that
these roses were in fact the same variety the Editor has done
some research. Whilst two U.K. Growers list the variety as
‘Marchesa Boccella’ this is in fact the name used in America for
the variety most commonly listed as ‘Jacques Cartier’ in the U.K.
E. & O.E. Although every care has been taken to minimize possible
errors, it is regretted that the Editor cannot accept any
responsibility for such mistakes. ‘Find That Rose!’ has been
produced by the Editor from information submitted by the
growers listed, together with additional information in her
possession.
