Today, let’s discuss a flow
er which reaches back in his
tory to pre-Babylonian times
and see if we can become
more familiar with the dif
ferent classes.
The rose is frequently re
ferred to as the best-loved
garden Sower and I suppose
that no one would wish to
argue the point. It is uni
versal in its appeal both as a
home garden plant and for
greenhouse forcing. It just
would not be proper to throw
a big shindig without roses.
The Tea rose is the oldest,
and very old plants can still
be found around the missions
in California. This class is
best adapted to the Deep
South atod the Pacific Coast,
where it blooms profusely and
almost continuously. Only
about 25 varieties of the Tea
rose are available through
catalog Twchase in the U. S.
The Hybrid Tea roses con
stitute, by far, the largest
percentage of varieties plant
ed. There is a large selection
of varieties, both in single
and double forms, and many
color choices. Some varieties
tend toward a cluster type of
blooming while others pro
vide long stems desired by the
florist for cut flowers.
Polyantha rosfes include the
•Hybrid l , Polyanthas and Plori
bundas—the iFloribundas actu.
ally being Hybrid iPolyantha
selections. We hear more
these days about Floribundas
than aqju other in this class.
The Floribundas tend toward
a very compact habit of
growth and are used most
extensively as bedding plants.
Hybrid Perpetuals, once
popular, have perhaps the
largest flowers in the rose
family Mt are not now given
the attention that some think
they deserve.
Climbing roses are not
really climbers in the true
sense of the word. However,
they do adapt themselves well
when attached to suitable
supports.
There are other classes of
roses and one can easily be
come confused because there
is some overlapping of classes
as far as use is concerned. I
have attempted to give, in
simple terms, the classes that
are most commonly found in
the average home garden.
The weather in our neigh
borhood has been just fine
for the spread of black spot
and mildew on rose plants,
both /ungus troubles. Keep
your plants well protected at
all times with a regular spray
(preferred) or dust program.
