favourite rose breeder?
Comments (7)Guess what I think Kordes is the best of them all! A contemporary rose breeder called Wilhelm the greatest breeder of the 20th Century. Breeding roses is a chanchy thing as to the outcome. You and I might create a great rose by crossing two favorites with one another. But the odds are against that. So the more crosses you make the greater the chance that you will come up with a good rose. Kordes is one of the biggest growers and breeder of roses in the world. For me because of their location and intention to breed hardy roses they fit what I need. And they produce roses that I like the looks of. They have hybridized roses of all types from once blooming singles to huge exhibition hybrid teas. And the have used all types of wild roses in their breeding program. Unfortunately they are little known here. They need to do what David Austin did establish a base in this country. At the moment the main source for their roses is from Canadian nurseries. Jackson & Perkins who was/is the major marketer of roses had or may still have an exclusive contract to market Kordes roses in the US. (So I was once told by Paul Zimmerman). And they have done little to fulfill what ought to be an obligation to do a good job in introducing them in this country....See MoreCalling all UK rose breeders and collectors!
Comments (3)Hi N@dine Pollen will keep well in old film canisters for a few days provided that it's dry when the canister is seeled; and If you store the canisters in the refridgerator you can keep it for a few weeks. The canisters can be sent safely by regular 1st class post within the UK and there is no restriction on when or how often you can mail film canisters containing pollen within the growing season. Hope that covers the question. Take care JinksUK...See MoreWarriner, Barden, Rupert, Moore - US and West Coast rose breeders
Comments (43)@roseseek Kim, I actually bought my Kashmir at Home Depot, on clearance, three years ago this past summer. It drew me in by being the only one among the several (sad) varieties still there that was not only healthy, but SPOTLESS, and in full bloom and loaded with more buds! I couldn't understand why it hadn't already been snatched up. I decided it must have been due to the atrocious purple pot it was in, lol. Anyway, I regret not buying the other Ping Lim rose in the bunch, which was a yellow whose name escapes me right now. It was nearly in as good condition as K, but at the time only had a couple of faded blooms. I've kicked myself multiple times for not getting it. I haven't seen another of Ping's roses at HD since :( But if K is such a good performer HERE, I can't imagine what it would be like in California. It is unmatched in vigor, health and floriferousness by any other modern rose in my garden. And *you know* how picky I am, lol. John Edit: I should have the original tag somewhere. I'll see if the distributor/grower is listed. Edit#2: just as an aside, I just checked Ping's roses, and "High Voltage" rings a bell. I'm pretty sure that was the yellow I passed up....See MoreCan you write about Jean-Pierre Vibert, the rose breeder in France in
Comments (8)on Ralph Moore: Ralph S. Moore (January 14, 1907 – September 14, 2009) was an American rose breeder. He is known by many as the “Father of the Modern Miniature Rose”. During his career, Moore developed over 500 new varieties of miniature roses, including the award-winning 'Rise n' Shine' and 'Anne Moore'. Moore was born in Visalia, California. He began growing roses at a young age, and he was soon hooked. He started his first nursery in 1937, and he began breeding roses in the early 1940s. Moore was one of the first rose breeders to focus on miniature roses, and he was instrumental in popularizing them. He developed a number of successful miniature rose varieties, including 'Rise n' Shine', which was introduced in 1956. 'Rise n' Shine' was a huge success, and it helped to make miniature roses a popular choice for gardeners. Moore continued to breed roses until his death in 2009. He developed over 500 new varieties of roses, and he is considered one of the most influential rose breeders of the 20th century. His work has had a profound impact on the rose industry, and his roses are enjoyed by gardeners all over the world. Some of Moore's most popular roses include: 'Rise n' Shine': A miniature rose with small, double blooms of a light pink color. 'Anne Moore': A miniature rose with small, double blooms of a deep pink color. 'Sugar 'n' Spice': A miniature rose with small, double blooms of a light yellow color. 'Tom Thumb': A miniature rose with small, single blooms of a deep red color. 'Fairy': A miniature rose with small, double blooms of a light pink color. Moore's roses are available from a variety of nurseries, both online and in person. They are also sometimes available at garden centers and other retail stores. When choosing a Moore rose, it is important to consider the climate in which you live. Some of Moore's roses are better suited for warmer climates, while others are better suited for cooler climates. It is also important to consider the amount of sunlight your garden receives. Some of Moore's roses need full sun, while others can tolerate partial shade. With proper care, Moore's roses will provide you with years of enjoyment. They are a beautiful addition to any garden, and they make a wonderful gift for rose lovers of all ages.
