Cutting and Conditioning Roses by Betty H. It is understood that roses, unlike most blooms, have their best food supply in the evening. 1. If it is not possible to cut in the evening, cut in early morning. 2. Take a bucket of hot water into the garden. 3. Using a sharp knife make a diagonal cut. Slit up centre of stem 2 to 4 cm. A flat cut will allow the stem to sit flat on the bottom of the container and may restrict water intake. 4. Strip much of the lower foliage, allowing none to remain under water. 5. Place immediately into 2 or 3 inches of the hot water. 6. Later store roses in buckets of cool water as deeply as possible, without immersing leaves or blooms, in a cool dark area up to 24 hours. Metal buckets are said to be the best choice. |

The 2012 John Cabot Rose Society of Newfoundland and Labrador Show By Frank R. Smith A week before the 2012 Show, held on August 4th and 5th (about two weeks later than last year in deference to out of town rosarians) at the Memorial University Botanical Garden many of our members said their roses had flowered so well that they doubted they’d have anything to show. Who was to know that July in Newfoundland would be the warmest in memory? However, nine members exhibited around seventy acceptable roses. Species roses were almost absent, as they are mostly early bloomers; nevertheless, Pam Bruce brought R. moyesii and the unusual hips of R roxburghii normalis, the chestnut rose, like spiky horse chestnuts. The “Antique” roses shown were Pam Bruce’s Félicité Parmentier, Maiden’s Blush and Hansa, and David Mills’ F.J. Grootendorst. Frank Smith brought: Cardinal de Richelieu, Hansa, R. centifolia (?) and R. mundi. Wichurana ramblers, being late bloomers, including the stunning American Pillar (Betty Hall and Frank Smith), pink Dorothy Perkins (Betty and David Mills), red Excelsa (Pam) and pink New Dawn (David) were evident this year. Among climbers also White Dawn (David), pink Handel (Betty) and David and Ian’s Blaze, New or Improved (otherwise known as Demokracie). Ivan Palmer’s climber Westerland, a Kordes introduction, looked lovely with the sun behind the cluster. The Sencialls also had three Parkland varieties to show: Morden Centennial, the enchanting Morden Sunrise and Adelaide Hoodless; David Mills had Adelaide Hoodless and Morden Ruby. Canadian Explorer roses exhibited included David’s Louis Jolliet, Lambert Closse, and Alexander MacKenzie, the last two being also in Ian’s collection. Frank had Henry Hudson, Martin Frobisher and John Cabot (there were only three JCs this year – usually the rose with the most specimens). David and Ian showed Therčse Bugnet, also a Canadian rose. English roses were the largest single group, with twelve entries. David had Abraham Darby and Graham Thomas; Wendy Baker showed Evelyn, the Sencialls, Gertrude Jekyll; the remainder (Abraham Darby, Benjamin Britten, Eglantyne, Gertrude Jekyll, Graham Thomas, James Galway, Leander, Lilian Austin and Teasing Georgia) being Frank Smith’s. The second largest group with 11 specimens was Floribunda roses. Three Iceberg roses were shown (Shirley Rooney, Wendy and Ian); also David’s Angel’s Wings and Europeana, Shirley’s red Nina Weibull and Wendy’s pink Sexy Rexy and her Queen Elizabeth grandiflora rose. Finally, there were a number of Polyantha roses: Wendy’s China Doll, Pam’s and Marjorie Williams’s The Fairy. Hybrid teas shown were: yellow Oregold and white Pristine (Frank) yellow Helmut Schmidt was brought by Wendy, Tropicana by David and Pink Peace by Marjorie. All in all, a great showing considering the unusual conditions this summer. The staff of the MUN Botanical Garden, led by acting Director, Liz Klose, was extremely obliging and helpful. |
