Rosa 'Nevada'
''Rosa'' 'Nevada' is a white climbing rose cultivar developed by Pedro Dot in Spain in 1927. It is one of his most successful creations and is named for its colour, as ''nevada'' is the Spanish word for "snowy". Its parentage was long under discussion, as Dot introduced the cultivar as a hybrid moyesii, but the cultivar's round, black hips point to its ''R. pimpinellifolia''-parentage. It is probably a cross between Dot's pink hybrid tea 'La Giralda' (introduced in 1926) and the wild rose species ''Rosa pimpinellifolia'' var. ''altaica'' (synonym ''R.'' 'Altaica'), but is sometimes still described as a hybrid moyesii. The single to semi-double flowers have an open bloom form with an average diameter of 4″ to 5″ (10 to 13 cm), and grow on short stems. The ovoid buds have a pink or apricot colour and open to ivory-coloured flowers, which normally quickly fade to white (but can turn pink in hot weather), with golden-yellow stamens. They have a mild, sweet fragrance. T ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rosarium Uetersen
The Rosarium Uetersen is a rose garden located in the ''Rosenstadt'' Uetersen, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, and is the oldest and largest rose garden in Northern Germany. Today's rosarium was created between 1929 and 1934, and opened to the public on the occasion of the 700 year festivities of Uetersen on June 23, 1934.

The rose garden is updated regularly through the plantation of new cultivars, and today presents more than 900 rose varieties in 35,000 rose plants in all colour hues and aroma nuances with a focus on climbing and standard roses. The rose garden is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Black Spot (roses)
''Diplocarpon rosae'' is a fungus that creates the rose black spot disease. Because it was observed by people of various countries around the same time (around 1830), the nomenclature for the fungus varied with about 25 different names. The asexual stage is now known to be ''Marssonina rosae'', while the sexual and most common stage is known as ''Diplocarpon rosae''. ''Diplocarpon rosae'' grows over seasons as mycelia, ascospores, and conidia in infected leaves and canes. In the spring during moist, humid conditions, ascospores and conidia are wind-borne and rain-splashed to newly emerging leaf tissue. Diagnosis The black spots are circular with a perforated edge, and reach a diameter of . Badly affected plants, however, will not show the circular patterning, as they combine to cause a large, black mass. The common treatment of the disease is to remove the affected leaves and spray with antifungal solutions. Some stems of the roses may become affected if untreated, and will cau ...

Sport (botany)
In botany, a sport or bud sport, traditionally called ''lusus'', is a part of a plant that shows morphological differences from the rest of the plant. Sports may differ by foliage shape or color, flowers, fruit, or branch structure. The cause is generally thought to be a chance genetic mutation. Sports with desirable characteristics are often propagated vegetatively to form new cultivars that retain the characteristics of the new morphology. Such selections are often prone to "reversion", meaning that part or all of the plant reverts to its original form. An example of a bud sport is the nectarine, at least some of which developed as a bud sport from peaches. Other common fruits resulting from a sport mutation are the red Anjou pear, the Ruby Red grapefruit, and the ' Pink Lemonade' lemon, which is a sport of the "Eureka" lemon. See also * Mosaic (genetics) Mosaicism or genetic mosaicism is a condition in multicellular organisms in which a single organism possesses more tha ...

Award Of Garden Merit
The Award of Garden Merit (AGM) is a long-established annual award for plants by the British Royal Horticultural Society (RHS). It is based on assessment of the plants' performance under UK growing conditions. History The Award of Garden Merit is a mark of quality awarded, since 1922, to garden plants (including trees, vegetables and decorative plants) by the United Kingdom, Royal Horticultural Society (RHS). Awards are made annually after plant trials intended to judge the plants' performance under UK growing conditions. Trials may last for one or more years, depending on the type of plant being analyzed, and may be performed at Royal Horticulture Society Garden in Wisley and other gardens or after observation of plants in specialist collections. Trial reports are made available as booklets and on the website. Awards are reviewed annually in case plants have become unavailable horticulturally, or have been superseded by better cultivars. Similar awards The award should not be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

USDA Zone
A hardiness zone is a geographic area defined as having a certain average annual minimum temperature, a factor relevant to the survival of many plants. In some systems other statistics are included in the calculations. The original and most widely used system, developed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) as a rough guide for landscaping and gardening, defines 13 zones by long-term average annual extreme minimum temperatures. It has been adapted by and to other countries (such as Canada) in various forms. Unless otherwise specified, in American contexts "hardiness zone" or simply "zone" usually refers to the USDA scale. For example, a plant may be described as "hardy to zone 10": this means that the plant can withstand a minimum temperature of 30 °F (−1.1 °C) to 40 °F (4.4 °C). Other hardiness rating schemes have been developed as well, such as the UK Royal Horticultural Society and US Sunset Western Garden Book systems. A heat zone (s ...
