Plant Name |
Rosa Bonica 'Meidomonac'- Class 5 Bred by Meilland.
For the public, to buy this rose; its name is Rosa 'Bonica'. 'Meidomonac' is the Trade Name for sale by the trade to the Garden Centre and MEI stands for the Nursery that bred it and then named it domonac as its unique Trade Name. This MEIdomonac is a unique name for selling in the trade, but Bonica which is the retail name may not be unique. If you went to a garden centre and asked for Rosa Bonica 'Meidomonac, they would not understand you. David Austin Roses might well sell you this rose in the Plant Centre at Wisley, but they at least would probably have named it Rosa 'Bonica' (Meidomonac). The Royal Horticultural Society has in its wisdom decided to name their roses in the Mixed Borders and the Bowes-Lyon Rose Garden using 2 systems:- Rosa Fred 'Ausweald' and Rosa 'Fred'. You can see this duality with During 2013, there was no explanation concerning this duality of naming systems in the beds where it was used. WISLEY WISLEY Rose Classification System Page gives further details. |

Common Name |
... |
||||||
Soil |
Roses prefer acidic soil of pH 6.5 (sand) but will tolerate alkaline soils up to pH 7.5 (chalk). Mix 25 litres farmyard manure, or pulverized tree bark with bone meal, in soil before planting. Broadcast rose fertilizer in early Spring. |
||||||
Sun Aspect |
Full Sun - continuous, direct exposure to 6 hours or more of sunlight per day. |
||||||
Soil Moisture |
Moist - Soil is moist without being soggy because the texture of the soil allows excess moisture to drain away. Most plants like about 1 inch of water per week. Amending your soil with compost will help improve texture and water holding or draining capacity. A 3 inch layer of mulch will help to maintain soil moisture and studies have shown that mulched plants grow faster than non-mulched plants. |

Comment |
"This excellent variety bears dainty clusters of attractive, small to medium-sized rose-pink flowers. It produces its flowers very freely and repeats well. If the flowers are not dead-headed they will be followed by a wonderful crop of bright red hips, which last long into the winter. There is a very light fragrance. It forms a nice, sturdy shrub with tidy, spreading growth and ample foliage. ‘Bonica’ is hardy, has little disease and is extremely reliable. 4 x 5 ft. (Meilland 1981)." from David Austin Roses.
" Dainty sprays of small, fully double, slightly fragrant, rose-pink flowers from July to September and glossy, rich-green leaves. This repeat-flowering, modern shrub rose is an excellent specimen plant for a mixed or shrub border with fertile, moist, well-drained soil. Vigorous and hardy, it will happily grow in sun or partial shade. All our roses are grown in an open field and then dug up when the weather conditions are right in October or November. Some suppliers send out their roses as 'bare root' plants (ie without pots or compost), but we pot ours up as it helps to keep the roots hydrated and in good condition. As they are dormant throughout the winter, they will not produce any new roots until spring, so don't be surprised if the compost falls away from the roots when you take them out of their pots. The roses can be kept in their pots throughout the winter provided they are kept well fed and watered, however ideally they should planted out as soon as possible. They will already have been cut back so no further pruning will be required, apart from snipping off any tips that have died back. Routine pruning can begin in late winter the year after planting. If planting in winter, choose a frost-free spell when the soil is not frozen. Roses are quite deep-rooted plants so dig a deep hole roughly twice as wide as the plants roots and mix in a generous amount of composted organic matter. A top-dressing of a general purpose fertiliser can be worked into the surrounding soil and we also recommend using Rose Rootgrow at this stage to encourage better root development. This is particularly important when planting into a bed where roses have previously been grown as Rose Rootgrow is said to combat rose sickness (aka. replant disease)." from Crocus.
"Roses are an essential ingredient for the summer garden - but many demand fertile conditions. My Cotswold garden has shallow, stony soil in which most varieties refuse to grow. Rosa Bonica 'Meidomonac' is an exception, however. It performs brilliantly, sending out a succession of soft-pink flowers throughout summer and autumn. Although 'Meidomonac' is a modern rose (bred by Meilland and launched in 1982), its flowers have an old-fashioned prettiness. Each small bud opens to form a rounded, almost globular flower, before the loosely packed petals unfurl to reveal a boss of golden stamens. The fragrant flowers come in clusters of seven, nine or more, and open at varying stages to create the impression of long-flowering. Most blooms come in late June - a later than many roses, but 'Meidomonac' will then repeat- flower until very late in the year. Dead-head during the summer to promote flowering, but leave autumn blooms to fade naturally and they will produce a crop of small red hips, giving you winter colour, too. Perhaps its greatest asset is its disease resistance and vigour. This rose doesn't succumb to black spot (Diplocarpon rosae), a disfiguring fungal disease that blackens the leaves and eventually causes them to drop off. Its shiny foliage ('Meidomonac' comes from a lineage that includes the glossy-leaved Rosa wichuriana) has a reddish tinge when young. This not only compliments the pale-pink flowers, but also seems to aid resistance: even when roses close by do succumb, 'Meidomonac' shrugs it off. Should black spot strike, there are two options. You can spray with a suitable fungicide, or you can remove the diseased leaves from both the plant and surrounding soil. Once the infected leaves have been binned (not put on your compost heap where the spores could spread), a mulch of bark chippings can be applied to form a barrier between the rose and the soil. This bark barrier should prevent spores from being washed back on to the foliage as the raindrops splash upwards. 'Meidomonac' has been used in many breeding programmes: David Austin raised the apricot 'Ausbonny' and the pink 'Ausecret' from 'Meidomonac'; Peter Beales Roses bred the admirable 'Beamac', a small, modern shrub rose with fully quartered, cream-white flowers tinged with peach. Thankfully, all three varieties have inherited the free-flowering habit and healthy constitution that make Bonica 'Meidomonac' such a success." from The Telegraph .
"This rose grows well as a specimen, in small groups or massed in borders, cottage gardens, foundations or rose gardens. Also effective as a small hedge." from Missouri Botanical Garden.

"The semi-double 'Meidomonac' grows only to about 1.2m (4ft), so it fits well in the herbaceous border. You can underplant with spring-flowering blue forms of Viola cornuta or the deeper-blue, summer-flowering Viola corsica. For soft colour, surround it with the silver-blue larkspur, 'Earl Grey', or the stunning cornflower Centaurea cyanus. 'Meidomonac' can also be grown among once-only flowering roses, such as R. gallica, to extend the season. Starry blue or purple asters are perfect companions for late- summer and autumn. 'Little Carlow' and Aster amellus 'Veilchenkönigin' are both excellent. The repeat-flowering, blue Geranium 'Gerwat' also works very well in partnership with the rose. 'Meidomonac' is versatile and is equally good container-grown, as groundcover or as a standard." from The Telegraph. |

Clematis 'Elvan' |
"All Clematis fall into one of 3 distinct pruning groups: No Prune (Group 1), Light Prune (Group 2), and Hard Prune (Group 3). Group 1: Early Flowering. Typically blooming in winter and spring, these varieties flower on the previous year's growth only, so if you need to remove damaged stems or control the size of the plant, the best time would be as soon as they have finished flowering. Included in this group are Alpina, Macropetala, Montana, and Evergreen varieties. Group 2: Large Flowers. Typically larger flowers grow out on new shoots from last year's growth in late spring and summer. Some of these will occasionally display a second bloom at the tips of the current year's growth in late summer and autumn. These varieties should be pruned in spring, right back to where there are strong and healthy buds, before they start their active growth period. New flowering stems will be produced from this architecture of previous growth. Group 3: Late Flowering. Group 3 Clematis only flower on current year's growth. These blooms tend to display from summer through to late autumn. These varieties are arguably the easiest to prune, as you basically cut it right down to about 20cm (8ins) above ground level in spring before they begin their active growth period, removing all of the previous year's growth." from Primrose who have produced a new method of raising "Kids in our planters". |

The photo taken on the bottom right on 15 May 2013 shows that the Sambucus plant label is facing the front. The Yellowish-Green juvenile foliage on the bottom right belongs to Cornus alba 'Aurea' - you can see from its page that it grows quite high and hides the side view of this Sam-bucus Plant Label when that plant is in flower. Since the plant label is difficult to read from the front lawn, this indicates no identity of this plant took place when it was in flower. |

When you look at the panorama photos in East Border Part 19 you will note - by 19 September 2013 - that purple flowers could be seen on the Sambucus but its plant label could not, because of the yellow foliage of the Cornus in front of it. |
