Your roses need at least 3-4 hours of sun, preferably the morning sunlight. Otherwise, forget about it. Your roses will not bloom and after a few years they will die.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: justify;">Second, make sure that the soil is never damp, but moist and fertile, offering a good drainage too. Prune the roses regularly to maintain good air circulation and reduce the risk of fungal infections. Also, prune the canes to as little as one-third their length in Spring, while the roses are dormant, to correct their sparse growth, due to lack of sun. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-%20First%20of%20all,%20let's%20get%20this%20straight:%20roses%20don't%20like%20shadow.%20But%20if%20you%20have%20a%20shady%20garden%20and%20you%20still%20want%20to%20grow%20roses,%20you%20have%20to%20pay%20attention%20to%20some%20details.%3C/span%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv%20style="><br /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Now, what roses to grow in shady locations? They must be selected from those which are known to be hardy and disease-resistant, and, generally, the closer a rose to the true species, or the less hybridization in its background, the more adaptable will be. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">So, select them from the <b>true species</b> and their closely related hybrids, the group of older garden roses such as the <b>Gallicas</b>, <b>Damasks</b> and <b>Albas</b>; and, in warmer areas, from more tender groups such as the <b>Chinas</b>. Most <b>ramblers</b> do well in shade as well. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-%20First%20of%20all,%20let's%20get%20this%20straight:%20roses%20don't%20like%20shadow.%20But%20if%20you%20have%20a%20shady%20garden%20and%20you%20still%20want%20to%20grow%20roses,%20you%20have%20to%20pay%20attention%20to%20some%20details.%3C/span%3E%3C/div%3E%3Cdiv%20style="><br /></a></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Myself, I prefer roses with good fragrance, among other required features.

font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; ">Rosa rugosa (rugosa rose, Japanese rose, or Ramanas rose) is a species of rose native to eastern Asia, in northeastern China, Japan, Korea and southeastern Siberia, where it grows on the coast, often on sand dunes.<br />In Japanese, it is called hamanasu, meaning "shore eggplant" and also hamanashi meaning "shore pear". In Korean, the species is called haedanghwa, literally "flowers near seashore".<br />It <span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; ">is a suckering shrub which develops new plants from the roots and forms dense thickets 1–1.50 m tall with stems densely covered in numerous short, straight thorns 3–10 mm long. The leaves are 8–15 cm long, pinnate with 5–9 leaflets, most often 7, each leaflet 3–4 cm long, with a distinctly corrugated (rugose, hence the species' name) surface. The flowers are pleasantly scented, dark pink to white, 6–9 cm across, with somewhat wrinkled petals; flowering is from summer to autumn (June to September in the northern hemisphere).<br />The hips are large, 2–3 cm diameter, and often shorter than their diameter, not elongated like most other rose hips; in late summer and early autumn the plants often bear fruit and flowers at the same time. The leaves typically turn bright yellow before falling in autumn.<br />Rugosa rose is widely used as an ornamental plant. It has been introduced to numerous areas of Europe and North America. It has many common names, several of which refer to the fruit's resemblance to a tomato, including beach tomato or sea tomato; saltspray rose and beach rose are others.<br />The sweetly scented flowers are used to make pot-pourri in Japan and China, where it has been cultivated for about a thousand years.<br />This species hybridises readily with many other roses, and is valued by rose breeders for its considerable resistance to the diseases rose rust and rose black spot. It is also extremely tolerant of seaside salt spray and storms, commonly being the first shrub in from the coast. It is widely used in landscaping, being relatively tough and trouble-free. Needing little maintenance, it is suitable for planting in large numbers; its salt-tolerance makes it useful for planting beside roads which need deicing with salt regularly.<br />Numerous cultivars have been selected for garden use, with flower colour varying from white to dark red-purple, and with semi-double to double flowers where some or all of the stamens are replaced by extra petals. Popular examples include 'Fru Dagmar Hastrup' (pink, single), 'Pink Grootendorst' (pink, semi-double), 'Blanc Double de Coubert' (white, double) and the more common 'Roseraie de L’Haÿ' (pink, double), which is often used for its very successful rootstock and its ornamental rose hips.<br />Syns:<br />• Apfel-Rose<br />• Beach Rose<br />• Hama-nashi<br />• Hama-nasu<br />• Hedgehog Rose<br />• Japanese Rose<br />• Kartoffelrose<br />• Nordische Apfelrose<br />• Ramanas Rose<br />• Rosa andreae Lange synonym<br />• Rosa ferox Lawr. synonym<br />• Rosa rugosa f. rugosa<br />• Rosa rugosa Thunb.<br />• Sea Tomato<br />• Shore Pear<br />• Tomato Rose<br /><br />Also referenced as: R. andreae, Rosa rugosa flore simplex, Wild Beach Rose.<br /><br />Purple or red.

Disease susceptibility: very disease resistant.<br />Author: Lange<br />Diploid<br />Rosa rugosa was first described by Thunberg in 1784 and introduced to Europe 50 years later, also by Thunberg. Prefers sandy or gravelly soils with average pH, although soils range in pH from 4.7 to 8.5. Salt and drought tolerant. Rosa rugosa actually performs best with periodic burning of the top growth in fall.<br /><br />Native to Hokkaido and Honshu, Korea, NE China and Kamchatka, and the Russian Far East, where it's native habitat is sand dune and shores near the coast the low elevations.<br /><br />Rosa rugosa is an invasive species in northern, central and western Europe and in parts of North America - New England, in Canada from Ontario to Newfoundland, and in Washington.</span></span>Florentinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10950800255534714243noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448358219709221747.post-56233635804142619632012-02-19T23:29:00.003-08:002012-04-18T03:20:47.281-07:00Rosa Primula<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" ><u><br /></u></span></div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0Dez2jOV0S0/T0JAyldeg3I/AAAAAAAAASw/r_goxUhkHuM/s1600/rosa%2Bprimula%2B2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 259px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0Dez2jOV0S0/T0JAyldeg3I/AAAAAAAAASw/r_goxUhkHuM/s400/rosa%2Bprimula%2B2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5711198515252593522" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-na-GiSERrIo/T0JAtrOvBTI/AAAAAAAAASk/K5ZtiN3Jic4/s1600/rosa%2Bprimula%2B1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 338px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-na-GiSERrIo/T0JAtrOvBTI/AAAAAAAAASk/K5ZtiN3Jic4/s400/rosa%2Bprimula%2B1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5711198430902027570" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><u><br /></u></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; "><b>Rosa Primula</b> ( Primrose Rose, Rosa ecae ssp. primula (Bouleng.)

Its stems are covered with small, sharp, hooked prickles, which aid it in climbing. The leaves are pinnate, with 5-7 leaflets. <b>The flow</b><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; "><b>ers are usually pale pink, but can vary between a deep pink and white. They are 4–6 cm diameter with five petals, and mature into an oval 1.5–2 cm red-orange fruit, or hip.</b><br />The plant is high in certain antioxidants. The fruit is noted for its <b>high vitamin C level and is used to make syrup, tea and marmalade</b>. It has been grown or encouraged in the wild for the production of vitamin C, from its fruit (often as rose-hip syrup), especially during conditions of scarcity or during wartime. The species has also been introduced to other temperate latitudes. During World War II in the United States Rosa canina was planted in victory gardens, and can still be found growing throughout the United States, including roadsides, and in wet, sandy areas up and down coastlines.<br />Forms of this plant are sometimes used as stocks for the grafting or budding of cultivated varieties. The wild plant is planted as a nurse or cover crop, or stabilising plant in land reclamation and specialised landscaping schemes.<br />Numerous cultivars have been named, though few are common in cultivation. <b>The cultivar Rosa canina 'Assisiensis' is the only dog rose without prickles</b>. The hips are used as a flavouring in the Slovenian soft drink Cockta.<br /><b>The botanic name is derived from the common names 'dog rose' or similar in several European languages.</b><br />It is sometimes considered that the word 'dog' has a disparaging meaning in this context, indicating 'worthless' (by comparison with cultivated garden roses) (Vedel & Lange 1960). However it also known that it was used in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to treat the bite of rabid dogs, hence the name "dog rose" may result from this. (It is also possible that the name derives from "dag," a shortening of "dagger," in reference to the long thorns of the plant.)<br />Other old folk names include<b> rose briar (also spelt brier), briar rose, dogberry, sweet briar, wild briar, witches' briar, and briar hip.</b><br /><br />In <b>Romanian</b>, its names is <b>maces</b>, pronounced '<b>machesh</b>', which means "<b>wild rose</b>".<br />In <b>Turkish</b>, its name is <b>kuşburnu</b>, which translates as "<b>bird nose</b>."<br />In <b>Swedish</b>, its name is <b>stenros</b>, which translates to "<b>stone rose</b>."<br />In <b>Norwegian</b>, its name is <b>steinnype</b>, which translates to "<b>stone hip</b>."<br />In <b>Danish</b>, its name is <b>hunderose</b>, which translates as "<b>dog rose</b>."<br />In <b>Azeri</b>, its name is <b>itburunu</b>, which translates as "<b>dog nose</b>."<br />In <b>Russian</b>, its name is <b>шиповник </b>(translit: '<b>shipovnik</b>'), which translates as "<b>thorn bearer</b>."<br />In <b>Bulgarian</b>, its name is <b>шипка </b>(translit: '<b>shipka</b>').<br />In <b>Mongolian</b>, its name is <b>нохойн хошуу</b>, which translates as "<b>dog nose</b>."<br /></span></div></span></div></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: 'lucida grande', tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 14px; "><div class="fbPhotosPhotoCaption" tabindex="0" live="polite" style="outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; outline-color: initial; display: inline; width: auto; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18px; "><span class="hasCaption"><div class="text_exposed_root text_exposed" style="display: inline; "><span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; ">In <b>Hungarian</b>, its name is <b>vadrózsa</b>, which translates as "<b>wild rose</b>."<br />Other names:<br />• Briar Rose<br />• Brier Bush<br />• Canina<br />• Dog Briar<br />• Dog Rose<br />• Hondsroos<br />• Hunds-Rose<br />• Rosa belgradensis Pancic synonym<br />• Rosa leucantha Loiseleur<br />• Rosa pseudoscabrata Bllocki ex R.Keller<br />• Rosa sarmentacea Woods synonym<br />• Rosa sphaerica Grenier synonym<br />• Rosa surculosa Woods<br />• White-flowered Rose<br /><br />Also referenced as: Wolriechendes Dornröslein, Heckrosen, Hep tree, Rosier à fleurs blanches (syn.

The fruit is a dark red globose hip 10–15 mm diameter.<br /><br />This rose was not widely grown in gardens until the end of the 19th century, when its refined wildness and beauty out of the flowering season first began to be appreciated. The flower petals fall off easily in the spray from watering hoses, as well as from wind and rain. The species is naturalised in northern Europe north of its native range, particularly in Scandinavia.<br />A hybrid with Rosa rugosa has been given the cultivar name 'Carmenetta'.<br />Syns:<br />• Hecht-Rose<br />• Red Leaf Rose<br />• R. ferruginea<br />• Rosa ferruginea Villars synonym<br />• Rosa glauca Pourr.<br />• R. majalis rubrifolia<br />• Rosa majalis var.rubrifolia (Vill. ex Thory) Wallr.synonym<br />• R. romana<br />• Rosa romana hort.<br />• R. rubrifolia<br />• Rosa rubrifolia Vill. synonym<br />• Rosier a feuilles rougeâtres<br />• Rubrifolia<br />Pink blend, white center. Moderate fragrance. 5 petals. Small to medium, single (4-8 petals), cluster-flowered bloom form. Once-blooming spring or summer.<br />Arching, bushy, spreading, thornless (or almost), upright. Matte foliage. 5 to 7 leaflets.<br />Height of 150 to 350 cm. Width of 150 cm.<br />Zone 2 through 9. Vigorous. Produces decorative hips. Shade tolerant. Disease susceptibility: very disease resistant.<br />Tetraploid<br />R. glauca Pourr. (1788) sets red hips...<br />This should not be confused with Rosa rubifolia (Erich Unmuth, Vienna Austria). R. rubifolia (R. setigera) is so named because its leaves look like those of the blackberry (genus Rubus).</span></span>Florentinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10950800255534714243noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5448358219709221747.post-56072096698469747132012-02-13T05:58:00.005-08:002012-08-30T23:24:33.958-07:00Rosa Gigantea<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-t2wMzS1beBg/TzkXtlnkwvI/AAAAAAAAALA/YSQGeOZNG7c/s1600/jpg_Rosa_gigantea-2.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5708620074628465394" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-t2wMzS1beBg/TzkXtlnkwvI/AAAAAAAAALA/YSQGeOZNG7c/s320/jpg_Rosa_gigantea-2.jpg" style="cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 320px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 320px;" /></a><br />

In the absence of DNA we should probably follow Crepin's observation. From the common sense point of view, it appears to [Viru] that R.macrocarpa is yellower because it grows further north and at a higher altitude, i.e. less bleaching of flower color occurs in cooler temperatures. Crepin observes that in the Shan hills district where R. gigantea grows, frosts are almost unknown, whereas when Girija [Viraragavan] and [Viru] collected R. macrocarpa in Manipur on Mount Sirohi at an altitude nearing 7000 feet. There was a fair amount of frost on the ground, in places frozen into fairly substantial lumps which could not have been merely overnight dew frozen. From the seedlings raised from the Manipur seed collected by [Viru & Girija they] noticed considerable variation in flower color especially at the bud stage. Some of the seedlings are quite a dark yellow at bud stage whereas others are just cream. This color difference does not persist when the flower opens and all the kinds are creamy yellow by the second day. "So to distinguish R.macrocarpa from R. gigantea by adopting flower color as the criterion seems to be incorrect. Pending further investigation we should perhaps consider R.macrocarpa of Manipur as only an eco -type of R. gigantea Collett. But I am hoping that the Manipur rose will prove somewhat cold hardier than the Burmese collection."<br /><br />Rosa gigantea is recognized by its distinctive drooping, mahogany-colored new foliage, a characteristic it shares with Rosa chinensis var. spontanea.]<br />Information from <b>Viru Viraraghavn</b></span></span><br />
