2013 Rose Review By Jeff Garrett With each passing season, we make a point of taking time to evaluate the roses in our garden. We particularly enjoy evaluating our newer roses. We define new roses as varieties that we have been growing for three years or less. Following are some of our observations. ‘Always and Forever’ – is a medium red hybrid tea from J&P Roses. We moved our 3rd year plant from a container to the garden which means we generally like it. Our plant is growing and blooming well. The bush also seems to handle our summer heat fairly well. While the blooms are not huge and sometimes the form is a little flat, this variety is still a pretty nice variety for the garden. ‘Brother Jack’ – is a pale pink hybrid tea from Fred Wright. This was our 2nd year growing this variety and it was very inconsistent for us. At times

Attend the 2013 TENARKY Winter Workshop February 8-10, in Franklin, TN All Rose Society members and friends are invited to soak up vital rose information and enjoy rosy contacts and friendships at the 2013 TENARKY Winter Workshop weekend, February 8-10, at the Marriott Hotel-Cool Springs in Franklin, Tennessee. Featured presenters include newly elected ARS Vice-President Pat Shanley and noted horticultural specialists, including Tom Stebbins, Dr. Mark Windham, Baldo Villegas, Carol Shockley, Robbie Tucker, and Whit Wells.
February Speaker Chris VanCleave By Jim Harding The Nashville Rose Society is very fortunate to have as our February speaker, Chris VanCleave, the co-founder of Rose Chat Radio. In less than one year, Rose Chat Radio has surpassed the 100,000 mark of total number of listeners for the show to date. Of course, some shows are much more popular than others, depending on the guests etc... but the point is that this show is reaching a target audience that wants the information that Rose Chat Radio provides.
Chris shared another startling fact; their Facebook pages revealed an interesting demographic mix. 34.9% are 25-55 years old, 63.5% female, 34.9% male spread out across the US and also a scattering of interest from the NetherWeekend exciting events, begin- lands, Japan & Germany. (Cont’d on page 4)

Editor’s Desk Finally, the quiet respite of winter is upon us. As our roses settle in for a long winter’s nap, I curl up by a roaring fire accompanied by my annual stack of rose catalogs. Perusing the colorful rose-filled pages, I begin to contemplate next year’s rose possibilities and I pause reflectively in appreciation of nature’s current state of silence. Of course, this is also usually about the same time “the voices” return. Don’t look at me like that, you know very well to which voices I refer. The Rose Angels and the Rose Demons. One sits on my right shoulder, the other on my left and they engage, as if I am not even present, in a similar debate each year. I liken my Rose Angel to a cheerleader who continues to rant and rah well beyond the certainty of my defeat in the rose arena. Meanwhile, my Rose Demon spews out snarky, hurtful rhetoric in which the sole purpose is to undermine my confidence. Call them angels, call them demons, perhaps a trained professional would refer to them as the “inner dialogue of a rosarian”, but every year turns the pages of another script which reads something like this: My!! How exciting! Let’s grab a cup of hot cocoa and stay up all night deciding how many roses we can convince Jim to buy us this year. Wait just a petal-pickin minute here! You’re not falling for this again, are you? You’ve only been away from the roses for a few months now and, already, you fall into that rose amnesia trap, forgetting how contrary those deceptive little bushes can be! A tall glass of reality juice would be more appropriate than cocoa. Now, stop. Roses aren’t contrary, they’re beautiful and perfect in every way. Oooooh....Ahhhhh... Look at that stunning beauty on page 17, will you? Wouldn’t that look amazing in your garden? We have to have it!!
There seems to be something missing from the picture. I 2
know. Picture that same rose riddled with blackspot and overpopulated with Japanese Beetles because that is exactly how the rose will look in YOUR garden. That was uncalled for. THIS YEAR she and Jim will keep up with a religious spray regimen. They will fertilize, prune, deadhead and keep their rose beds “hospital” clean. It was, after all, one of their New Years Resolutions.
You and countless sailors with in a five mile radius. And what say you to the gener- ous tradition of sharing roses? The happiness that gives her is reason enough to buy every rose on the market!
Oh, sure. Up until the week of a rose show. I take it you haven’t met her rose hoard Excuse me while I pick myself ing husband who, during show week, off the floor from laughing. You morphs into a rose scrooge who would mean the same resolution they choke on a bloom sooner than coughing make every year? Did I say make? Of one up. Tell me, is this why her pruners course I meant to say “break”. go MIA every year around this time? And while we’re at it, didn’t Starla also make a certain resolution about losing weight last year? We all know how that... Starla: HEY!! See there, now you are upset ting her. She needs to tune you out and listen to me. I’ve narrowed our choices down to one of every variety, that eliminates the grueling selection process altogether! Great idea. Better yet... save Jim’s back, your sanity and a whole mess of time... just snap them into twigs the minute they arrive and throw them straight into that fireplace. It’s not as if any of them are going to live anyway.
All the more reason to buy more roses! INFINITELY MORE ROSES.... right, Starla? Starla: Right!! I’m sold! Forget all that nonsense about black-spot, Japanese Beetles and burning eyes! I’m glad I have you to talk some sense into me, Rose Angel. Any chance you can help me convince hubby that digging holes is joyful labor? If you thought the devil was hard to convince, wait until you meet him. Starla a.k.a Rose Devil and Jim a.k.a. Rose Angel Harding
What a terrible thing to say!! She will do no such thing. She loves babying her roses. In fact, nothing gives her more satisfaction than watching the beautiful roses that grow under the diligent sweat of her brow. Until enough of that sweat rolls right down into her eyes and | the stinging begins. Then, like clockwork, she forgets the condition of her hands and rubs her eyes, diluting some of that sweat with dirt. The end result? Colorful language that is ANYTHING but rosey. I can’t believe YOU would support such tasteless rantings.

President’s Column Hello again and welcome back from the Holidays. If you missed our Christmas Party, then you missed a good one. Our members, once again, brought excellent side dishes to accompany our Honey Ham and Roast Turkey entrees. Desserts were in abundant supply and everyone went home satisfied. We had a professional pianist entertain us while we ate and socialized. He played a mix of Christmas Carols and Jazz tunes that lent an air of sophistication to the festivities. Larry Baird played emcee to Dirty Santa and our gifts circulated around the room numerous times. Larry and Connie Baird entertained us with a comedic sketch ala George and Gracie. We were rolling in the aisles with laughter. I didn’t realize that they were so talented. They are a Rose Society secret that needs to be shared. There are a lot of things going on this month that will be discussed further in this newsletter. The Tenarky District Winter Workshop is approaching. We have some excellent speakers, great food and roses for sale. Also, you will have the opportunity to become an American Rose Society Consulting Rosarian. Sam
Jones works very hard on this event every year and does a wonderful job. Please attend. Our hard working editor, Jim Harding, has discovered a radio show called The Redneck Rosarian. He investigated the show and contacted Mr. Chris Van Cleave, the originator of the show and has secured Chris to be our featured guest speaker. The radio show reaches a broad demographic. Chris will speak to his ability to market his program and he is sure to be very entertaining. Gary Spencer is hard at work organizing Vendor Night. Make a list of products that you normally use in your rose garden and save your pennies. This is a wonderful opportunity for all of us to save money on products that we know we will use. We will have a regular meeting on Vendor Night. Some of our vendors will speak about the products that they sell. They will answer specific questions and offer advice as to which products will suit you best. Looking forward to seeing you all! —— Tom Beath
February Speaker (Cont’d from page 1) Most of us are all too aware of how rose societies across the nation are struggling to survive. Attracting new members, especially the younger generation is difficult at best. Yet Chris has found a way to reach this very target audience. The NRS has a great opportunity to listen to Chris share how his passion for roses has grown into a social media grass roots movement that began with Facebook, expanded into weekly Twitter chats and ultimately launched into Rose Chat Radio. He will gladly answer any questions our members and guests may have. If you are like me, you have probably never twittered or tweeted, and wonder what this social media is all about. This is your chance to find out up close and personal as Chris will demonstrate how easy it is to get on board the social media train to reach out and engage the next generation of middle Tennessee rosarians.

BREEDERS’ PANEL - WORLD ROSE CONVENTION S. AFRICA By Marty Reich, Master Rosarian In the last Rose Leaf I mentioned the Breeders’ Panel held at the convention. This panel consisted of: Colin Dickson, sixth generation rose breeder from Northern Ireland; Michael Mariott, technical director of David Austin, with them since 1985; Alain Meilland, head of the great Meilland International Roses, the company which created Peace; Thomas Proll, head of the breeding department at Kordes Roses in Germany; and Doug Grant, New Zealand breeder and trained scientist. The discussion was titled “ Environmental Impacts on Rose Breeding in the 21st Century” and the first question to the panel was if they were influenced by global warming and if they thought disease resistance and easy care were trends which would last. Below are some of my notes on their answers: Colin- More roses were resistant but he thought all roses had a place. Michael- Older David Austins were more susceptible to disease and future ones will be less so, but you have to compromise on some things. Thomas- Kordes stopped spraying for fungus 20 years ago and only rarely sprays insecticides due to German environmental awareness starting in the ‘80’s. Doug- Disease resistance is very important because no one wants to spray.
Alain- He did not answer any questions very directly, but did mention that they had a new rose,’Francis Meilland’, named after his father which does not have to be sprayed, is fragrant and grows on its own roots. (I found this rose on the internet and it is available in the U.S. It is a tall HT and won the 2013 AARS award, the first time a HT has won under no-spray conditions.) Next question was what they looked for in the rose trials: Answers varied from just appearance to personal preference. It was difficult to compare Kordes roses due to their not being sprayed. Thomas said exhibiting is not big in Germany so they don’t mind if form is not perfect. At about this point, Ludwig Tascher, the South African breeder whose huge rose nursery we toured, rose from the audience and quite forcefully told the panel they were not looking at disease resistance as being ABSOLUTELY the most important factor in the future of rose sales. He said that if blackspot is not overcome, then baby boomers will not buy roses. (Author’s note: I agree.) Although blackspot is not a huge problem in Johannesburg, South Africa has many different climates (like the U.S.) and the European rose trials were useless to him. He has his own line of EcoChic™ disease resistant rose selections much like our Earthkind®.
The breeders panel of Doug Grant (New Zealand), Michael Marriott (UK), Alain Meilland (France), Colin Dickson (Northern Ireland) and Thomas Proll (Germany), answered questions from the audience on a range of topics.
Ludwig’s statement led to another question. Would they use genetic manipulation to acquire this resistance? Doug gave the most scientific answer. He does genetic work on pumpkins and onions as well as roses. He said not much progress has been made because you move one gene and then others are affected as well. It is a very difficult problem. Michael said Kordes is trying but woody plant genes are very hard to manipulate. The panel was asked about own-root roses versus those on multiflora root stock: Michael-Some do better, others do not. At a Holland conference he heard about a new rootstock which may confer disease resistance and may be out in the next ten years. Thomas-He thinks the U.S. believes roses need own roots for hardiness. They tested both ways and found some roses do and some do not. Large HTs usually don’t do as well on their own roots. Alain-Meilland started doing own root 4 or 5 years ago. Some think own roots have short lives but that is not true. He wants to eventually grow all their roses in containers since that is what nurseries and consumers want. Last question was about the future of HT roses: Not as many new ones are being introduced. Are they in a permanent decline? The general concensus about this was the same as what was said at the 2009 Vancouver conference. More F and Gr are being created to have more blooms on shorter stems to be suitable for growing in containers and have better disease resistance. This seems to be the future of roses and Doug said that exhibition classes should be changed to reflect these differences. For those of us who adore the HT, this is sad news. Let’s hope that there will still be a place for them. Our divas have so much to offer in return for just a little extra care.

February Rose Care By: Jim Harding February can either be a period of retrospect of would’ve, could’ve, should’ve thinking about what you did not do in November and December; or if you did your end of year garden chores, it can be time spent reclining back in the warm and comfy easy chair. Spraying There is still time in February to consider a dormant spray to discourage bugs and diseases for the coming rose season. If your roses struggled with blackspot this past year, lime sulfur is a good way to help clean up lingering fungal spores, along with a horticultural oil that will smother pests and their eggs. While these chemicals can be purchased separately and mixed together they are also available pre-mixed in a single container. This has been a mild winter so far but if you spray lime sulfur, make sure to do so when overnight temperatures will remain above freezing overnight, and be sure to read the label and apply in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations. If you have questions, call an NRS consulting rosarian - see list on page 11. Cleaning & Planning If you haven’t done so already, take inventory of what supplies need to be replaced and make note for easy ordering of supplies for the annual Nashville Rose Society’s Vendor night. The order forms are included in this issue and are also available online at the NRS website www.nashvillerosesociety.com If you have questions about vendor night contact Gary Spencer at
gspencer1@bellsouth.net
A tip I picked up at one of the NRS beginner’s workshops is to write on each bottle of fungicide, pesticide, miticide, etc. the year it was purchased. Everything has a shelf life, and it is only a matter of time before you have more stuff than you can keep track of, so writing the year purchased with a big 10
black Sharpie works well. This simple step will save you time, money and headaches trying to remember how old that almost empty bottle of Banner Maxx is. One more Sharpie tip. While you are writing the year on the bottle, go ahead and write the mixing ratio too; i.e. 1 tblsp/gal. This will save you the hassle of re-reading the label. Soil Last fall was the best time to build a new rose bed because 1. it was a lot warmer outside, and 2. the new soil mix has a time to cure before the new roses go in this spring. However, if you still want to build a new rose bed it is not too late, especially if you use a premixed soil from a company like Southern Nurseries. These kinds of companies can custom mix soil with your choice of composts, sand, and processed topsoil. NRS member and master rosarian Ron Daniels recommends Nutrisoil for rose beds from Southern Nurseries. They sell their soil by the cubic yard and offer a discount to NRS members. Just like the old real estate addage of ‘location, location, location,’ the same goes for roses. Select a location that receives at least six hours of full sun per day, has good air circulation, good drainage, and does not compete with tree roots. pH Amending your soil to make corrections to the pH is another task that is best done at the end of the growing season. Why? Because it takes time for any corrections you make to take effect. With that said, if you have not tested the pH of your soil, there is really no wrong time to do so. While most Tennessee soils tend be acidic don’t make any assumptions and add lime before you have your soil tested. Send your soil samples to the University of Tennessee Soil, Plant and
nashville rose leaf, February 2013
Pest Center is located at the Ellington Agricultural Center in Nashville. It is equipped for routine soil analysis to make lime and fertilizer recommendations and offers its services to all Tennesseans for a nominal fee (615) 8325850. Soil samples need to come from the root zone of the plant, which means getting down past the mulch into the root zone where the soil chemistry is important. If the pH is lower than 6.0, you should add a slow-acting lime. If the test showed the pH higher than 7.0, then you should add sulfur. A pH of 6.5 is ideal for roses to be able to maximize the available nutrients. The question is, how much lime is the right amount? To raise the pH from 5.5 to 6.5 a typical application rate is 2 to 3 pounds per 100 square feet of garden area. Do not use more than 5 pounds per 100 square feet at any one time. If you are not sure how big your rose bed is, use 1 cup of lime per bush and ½ cup per miniature. Remember that raking the lime into the top couple inches of soil will yield better results than sprinkling it over the soil’s surface. ,
