Out of Patent

I know some hybrid teas are difficult to root but I am having some success. I know it can be done because so many are available in commerce that are own root. If you have some older hybrid teas that are out of patent that you are willing to send me cuttings for postage I will most certainly be appreciative.

I would be interested in swapping cuttings, but I am surprised to see that I only have 5 HTs. Only 2 are out of patent. Pink Peace is a baby and I am eagerly awaiting for it to get big enough for me to take cuttings for myself. I don't want to lose her again. The other is Oklahoma and I think you already have it. By the way I am going to try budding soon!

Good for you, I don't think I'm ready to try budding yet. Maybe next year when I've had a little more experience rooting cuttings.

No, it's: "U.S. Patents filed prior to June 8, 1995 expire 17 years from the date of issue, or 20 years from the first non-provisional patent application in the family - whichever is later." The key words being "whichever is later." Meaning it's usually 20 years, but it could be longer if it took more than 3 years to issue the patent (ie if one took 5 years to issue, plus 17 would be 22 years) So Flavor King was filed 06/10/1991 but granted 11/10/1992. It would be between 06/10/2010 or 11/10/2009, so Flavor King expires the later date, 06/10/2010. Carla in Sac Here is a link that might be useful: When does a patent expire

I was actually kind of surprised how many varieties outside of knockouts our Lowe's carried, but it's more of the same....knockouts everywhere. 20 years from now, the only rose that will exist on Earth will be KO roses at this rate. It's definitely a worrysome long term outlook. I noticed this the other day with my Mother. She just wanted to get KOs for her storefront. I asked her to try other varieties and explained what would work and even showed her some pictures, but she went to a local bargain store and picked up a "Lady Diana" hybrid tea anyways.....not sure if that was any better or worse than a knockout...pretty bloom for sure, but in terms of rebloom, diease, and overall health, I'm not quite sure. At any rate, I'm hoping she changes her outlook once she sees the 20 or so Austins I planted in her yard last year...almost all of which overwintered perfectly fine. Most people don't even know what an Austin, Antique, or hell.....EVEN a HT rose is. They just know roses and the most common mainstream rose is the KO, so that's all they know. Need to be creative and expand horizons.

I would be interested in attending. I could bring a few cuttings of Iceberg climber and Excellence von Schubert. If I could attend this event would depend on the date, I do live in the South Bay. If it's too late for this year maybe it could happen next year! I would think people are interested; getting the word out is the issue. "Next Door" could help if you decided to organize it. Ginny

Why and how do roses end up with different names?
Q
Comments (22)
This is very interesting with David Austin roses, the actual name is Trade Marked and can only be sold by DA, so High Country Roses can sell "Heritage," but they must use the AUSblush name. Hummingbird Roses has linked hers to HMF becasue of needing to use the code not the TM name. Not every plant name is trade marked. Proven Winners trade marks names. Sometimes one name is trademarked in one country, but another isn't. Welsh Gold is trademarked, but it seems that its exhibition name Welwyn Garden Glory is not trade marked. I am thinking of using Heart Throb instead of Paul Shirville (Named for a gifted design engineer as a retirement "thank you" present), since neither are patented and I am not showing anything.

Someone is giving me some root stock, so I'm going to try soon. Yippee! I used to have about 75 - 80% success for cuttings, but stopped for several years. I have just started trying again this summer and have to find my right "process" for me again.

Last February when I pruned I just stuck a bunch of cuttings in soil and surprisingly had about a 50% success rate. This summer blugirl sent me some OGR cuttings and I was about 80% successful and will have several to plant next spring. I want to try my hand at some HTs now though.

I've tried several "processes" and have found some work better on some cuttings while another works better on others. My only concern starting some this late is overwintering them.

I do mine inside using clear cups and Rubbermaid containers. I just have to watch or I get them too wet.
