Rogers' Hybrids
Rogers' Hybrids are a group of 45 grape seedlings, thirteen of them named as cultivars, developed by Edward Staniford Rogers of Salem, Massachusetts, in the mid-19th century. Although mostly gone from cultivation now, their success, along with that of the Concord grape, inspired many amateurs to try grape breeding, resulting in massive proliferation in the number of grape cultivars in the eastern United States and Canada. Despite this impressive impact, Rogers' hybrids are the product of only two crosses. Rogers pollinated a vine of ''Vitis labrusca'', known locally as Carter or Mammoth Globe, with pollen from two European ''Vitis vinifera'' grapes, Black Hamburg and White Chasselas, being cultivated under glass nearby. He planted the resulting seeds in his garden, and the next spring approximately 150 germinated, but cutworms and other pests and accidents reduced their number to forty-five. Numbers one through five, and fifteen through forty-five, were from the cross Carter x Bl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
