Guest guest Posted June 17, 2003 Report Share Posted June 17, 2003 These folks sell the variety of rose known as - Kazanlik (rosa damascena trigintipetala) (ancient). http://www.heirloomroses.com/ *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.avagara.com/gardHOGR/ Heirloom OGR 1996 catalog cover Avagara Review: Heirloom Old Garden Roses Heirloom Old Garden Roses produces a wonderful combination of catalog, reference tool and introduction to a philosophy of rose culture. John and Louise Clements go all out in their 1997 catalog. It has 120 pages of descriptions of over 1,000 old garden roses, including size of plant, time of bloom, shade tolerance and hardiness information and the date when the rose was introduced, if known. The listings are grouped by variety. In addition, there are articles, some books, garden tools, and supplies for sale and an index. In addition, there are 200 color photographs of roses, most by Louise Clements. Of course, the catalog also includes ordering and shiping information. The Philosophy of Own-Root Roses The philosophy of Heirloom Old Garden Roses is to sell only roses grown on their own roots. Most roses sold, at least in the USA, are buds grafted onto a rootstock. Heirloom claims that own root roses are more winter hardy, live longer, perform better, do not produce suckers of a different type rose and are less likely to suffer from rose virus. " There is no doubt that the majority of roses sold in America today are infected with rose virus, " the catalog states, due to the indiscriminate use of virus-contaminated root stocks. The joy of old garden roses If you grew up in the U.S., you may have thought that these old garden roses with romantic names (like Reveil Dijonnais shown here) disappeared because they were hard to grow or not as attractive. But neither of these statements is true. These roses are much easier to care for than hybrid teas and are more attractive for just about every purpose except possibly winning rose shows. Many are roses that can be planted as shrubs or in a perennial garden rather than in a separate rose garden. Except for clipping off dead tips at the end of the winter, they are care-free, if you choose. Not all old garden roses are old. The American Rose Society introduced the designation " old garden roses " to describe not only old roses but also new rose varieties in the old classes (such as bourbons and centifolias). An old garden rose is any rose in a class that existed before 1867, the year of the introduction of the hybrid tea rose. A congeries of old rose varieties Very few of the roses in the Heirloom catalog are the hybrid tea roses that most garden centers promote. You won't find floribundas in this catalog. Instead, these are old roses, many of which were around long before hybrid teas were introduced in the 1860s. There are also more recent varieties, bred in the spirit of the old roses such as English roses, which are roses bred by David Austin since the 1960s (there are 88 varieties of Engish roses alone). Special sections group roses by theme, such as " Roses for Growing into Trees. " Roses may be listed in more than one section. These are the varieties and catgories listed in Heirloom OGR: Albas Hybrid albas Bourbons Centifolias China roses and their hybrids Damasks English roses English roses for collectors (older varieties) English-style roses Gallicas Ground cover roses Handpainted roses American winter hardy roses Canadian hardy roses Hybrid musks Hybrid teas, extremely fragrant, virus indexed Hybrid perpetuals Landscape roses by Meidiland Landscape roses by other hybridizers Large flowered climbers Moss roses Noisettes Patio roses Polyanthas Portland roses Rambling roses Rugosas and their hybrids Shrub roses Single roses Species and species hybrids Tea roses Roses for growing into trees Miniature roses Roses of unusual color ---- ---------- Albas Albas are elegant roses.

The plant comes to you growing in a 6 " tree seedling pot (dormant if shipped from December to February). A one-year old rose is not very big, but roses are pretty sturdy plants. I am planting my Heirloom roses in their own bed for a year before putting them in the perennial garden, because I have perennials that grow so big they would overshadow the baby roses. By year two, though, the roses should hold their own. By the way, the first rose I ordered was in bad shape when it arrived and didn't make it. When I called, Heirloom OGR quickly sent a replacement. The Heirloom Old Garden Roses catalog is $5, which is not refundable with the first order. But it is worth the price, and if you do order, the next catalog is sent to you without charge.
