New research another Koch's Postulate met for Rose Rosette Virus
Comments (1)Thank you, Henry, for helping us to understand the research and abstract. I like what you posted: 2) The microorganism must be isolated from a diseased organism and grown in pure culture." ... they comment about why they could not meet this postulate. "3) The cultured microorganism should cause disease when introduced into a healthy organism." .... They were not successful with graft transmission tests....See MoreNorth American vs European rose hybridisers
Comments (50)I had a point somewhere when I started that thread on this subject which I can't find now. So I'll settle on Cactus Joe's thread. Anyway I came across an article on Kordes in my old Rosebank news letters. It was an article by Harry McGee in September, 1995. The occasion was a visit to Canada by Wilhelm III. It has a good history of the Kordes firm. It started with Wilhelm the first in 1890 in Hamburg. Wilhelm II joined in 1919 in Sparrieshoop. He was succeeded by a non-Wilhelm but still a Kordes, Reimer. Then came the III. All were in charge of breeding operations. Other family members ran the business side. What is relevant in all of this is that the hybridizer was preminent in the firm and therefore put emphasis on that. At that time Kordes was the largest rose nursery in the world selling 2 million roses a year. They made 50,000 crosses a year. After a rose is singled out as a prospect it is grown for 6 or 7 years of testing before it is introduced. They probably are still the largest. Possibly the odds of creating a superior rose are in favor of those who do the most crosses. Stands to reason doesn't it? Even just blind choice should produce now and then something of value. One thing Mr. Kordes said that was interesting is that many breeders have stopped breeding HT's. One reason is that fewer people go to exhibitions. The other is that they are more difficult to get anything worthwhile. Hard to make disease resistant, many are single, fragrance is rare, have fewer hips and what they have don't germinate well and finally they produce fewer flowers. The emphasis on disease resistance began as a result of the Green Parties efforts to ban spraying in many parts of Germany. Kordes then stopped spraying. The result was disaster. Their fields became nearly barren of roses. I guess things have improved since then....See MoreHappy New Year Forum Folk, A Few Roses From 2020,

Comments (33)Solomon's Robe is a nice shade of purple. I see it is a Talbott evergreen. Yes, the Emmerich photo is much too reddish and doesn't canoe as much. You have noted before that her camera has a reddish bias--perhaps partly because pictures of her purples are taken later when the red spectrum predominates. Karol was reluctant to send Sword to me because she thought I wouldn't like it. (Plant performance still under evaluation here.) She tries hard to avoid the photo fraud that is a bane of the daylily world. She's Like a Rainbow --Performance not yet clear. Soft Summer Night --I have a hard time letting this go. Most people seem to no longer have any interest in the Stamile pinks. Stolen Treasure. Scape-to-fan ratio can be low, but it is still a very attractive cultivar. Stole...See More

8 months agolast modified: 8 months agoI realize this discussion is from nearly a year ago and is about 2023 roses, but does anyone know anything about Princess Buttercup (LUDbeachdarby)? Supposedly released in 2022, but I don't know if that's the South Africa release or the USA release. I can't find information about this in the USA other than Heirloom Roses: https://heirloomroses.com/collections/ludwigs-roses/products/princess-buttercup
Even HelpMeFind comes up with no results. I just submitted this to HelpMeFind, but I don't know how long before it will show up.
I ordered this and it arrived today. Looks like it might be low thorn, but that's all I can see for now (other than the description on Heirloom Roses). I read that it is normal for a company to remove the leaves for summer shipping to reduce stress on the plant; it's 100+F here continuously. This is the largest specimen with the most canes that I have ever received from Heirloom so maybe not many people are buying it.
