How to choose your rosebush? Beauty being subjective, it is your criteria that will make the difference, once you have selected the type of rosebush:ground cover, shrubby, climbing...
Some rose growers present a range labeled ADR , understand Allgemeine Deutsche Rosenneuheitenprüfung which could be translated as Qualitative Essays new rose varieties in Germany.
To receive this distinction, the rose bush must meet very specific criteria, in particular resistance to diseases and pests during three years of cultivation at 11 German sites. The competing rose obviously does not receive any treatment product during the cultivation period.
The aesthetic characteristics of the plant, its fragrance, its color, its number of flowers, its resistance to cold, and its growth are also taken into account.
This competition has existed for almost 50 years ! About 150 rose varieties have received the ADR label.
Except that communication on this quality is relatively timid. Maybe other roses could suffer?
After having discussed with rose breeders, those who by dint of crossing and patience offer us the best of their results, these magicians of the hybridization are well aware that some of their creations will only be able to give the best of themselves with maximum care and attention .
To know :the rose is greedy, in natural fertilization, in water during its flowering and especially not in winter or in the middle of a heat wave (summer rest for it too). It loves the sun and hates heavy, soggy soil.
The Scam :this word is strong but I think it is:the rosebush sold in pot and in flower from May to July, is very often grafted on a rootstock "Multiflora “, ideal for growing in pots, but not for the open ground. It is more susceptible to disease and has a shorter lifespan.
When will there be real communication on rootstocks roses?
