plant patents and propagation
Comments (16)Are you a lawyer murky? You don't have to be a lawyer to understand you have no obligation to follow a contract you didn't sign. And if the tree is public domain, you can grow it. So yeah you're free and clear. Drew...I addressed that to murky, and was not being a wise a** , I was serious. He sounded as though he may have some legal background. Drew...if you didn't sign the contract you couldn't legally have the plant material. Our discussion had turned to syndicated varieties which are not in the public domain. Again...the reference was Sanpadragon and Rubyfrost...Cornell's latest releases. Are we even sure that these syndicated varieties are handled in the same way? Is it required that they be patented or is the syndication itself the legal protection? Sounds like they probably are since Olpea pointed out that Pink Lady began as a club apple...I didn't know that. I thought only the name "pink lady" was the deal there...that the apple Cripp's Pink pre-existed it. I do know they are sold under both names now in the supermarkets....See MoreHeirloom Roses patented roses
Comments (12)Melanie, I'm kind of close to your zone. I'm assuming your main disease issues are probably blackspot and powdery mildew like mine, due to our high humidity. Out of the roses listed on their site, here are the ones I grow and comments on how they are doing for me... Black Ice: very slow ownroot, slow repeat, blooms last close to a week when it does bloom however, never has any leaves (but in its defense, the area where I have it planted only gets morning sun) Braveheart: I know many people love this rose, but its been highly susseptible to blackspot for me Antique Artistry: only had it for two years, but is also bs prone. Pink Morning: I really love this one! Nice and healthy and the blooms are just the prettiest form and color Star of the Nile: Another nice rose. Vigorous own root. Very pretty color, but blooms do blow fast...still worth growing Christmas Snow: I actually just got this one this spring, but its already 5 feet tall & healthy! Hope this helps a little :) Tammy...See MoreWallyWorld had a sale, now bail me out, please!
Comments (3)Hi, Joyce1 many of us got our rosy start in cheap chain store roses! Propagation: please do not propagate any roses that are still under patent, and i suspect many of yours are. If you check out each rose at HelpMeFind there is a place at the bottom of the rose page that will state the patent number if it is still under patent. Leaving the propagating to hybirdizers and licensed propagators ensures that their livelihood is protected and we consumers will continue to have access to quality plant material for years to come. As for your selections, the only one I have actual experience with is New Day. I bought it last summer as a pathetic Home Depot potted rose, and it thanked me by being a beautiful, healthy yellow bloomer all season! Unfortunately it did not survive our brutal winter. I wasn't surpised, but for five bucks, can I really complain??? Blue Girl is reputed to be a dog of a rose; you might be far enough south to make it work. NOTHING repels Jap beetles, sorry. The control measures you listed are really your only viable options if you do not want to poison all the rest of the bugs, good and bad, that visit your roses. I would take your roses back outside, to get some sun and rain. If they have been under cover at Walmart, give them gradual sun rather than a full day right off the bat. Good luck, have fun!...See MoreGreat video on how to root a rose cutting
Comments (15)Here on the east coast, the air stays pretty humid enough so that I don't seem to need to make little "greenhouses" for cuttings -- just keep them out of midday sun, and keep the soil moist. My first round of cuttings are starting to put out new growth, and I think I'll have far more of 'Rose du Roi -- original' than I expected. I took a lot, thinking it'd be harder to root than others I've tried, but so far none are showing signs of rotting before rooting. But in any case, that video is very informative. In different conditions and with different types of roses, we all have to try a few ways before we hit on what works for us. :-) ~Christopher...See More- 2 years ago
