2006 Rose of the Year TM – Main Front Cover Illustration<br />
“Champagne Moment” Korvanaber<br />
This floribunda has a very appealing name. The large blooms are pale pink to ivory with<br />
a deeper apricot centre. Good disease resistance. With regards to fragrance the power of this is<br />
debated. Sense of smell is a very individual experience and some consider this variety has a strong<br />
fragrance others do not find it very powerful. Its disease resistance is very good. Smaller illustration is<br />
of the 2007 Rose of the Year see further details on page 78.<br />
O<strong>THE</strong>R ILLUSTRATIONS<br />
The inside cover is dedicated to internationally famous Tantau <strong>Roses</strong>. This Breeder and grower of roses<br />
has been responsible for many quality varieties including “Polar Star” Rose of the Year for 1985.<br />
Two of the most famous Tantau rose are “Super Star” which was with its vermilion colour a sensational<br />
colour break when it came onto the scene in 1960. A slightly later variety “Fragrant Cloud” is still<br />
considered one of the most fragrant varieties of all time. Now the Germany firm of Tantau is celebrating<br />
its centenary. And some newer varieties are shown on the inside cover. One “Twice In a Blue Moon” is<br />
hailed as a success to “Blue Moon” also from Tantau. Also already makings its mark is “Nostalgia”.<br />
Congratulations Tantau lets hope there will be many more notable varieties to come. Page sponsored<br />
