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 |
Short, compact, spreading shrub.
Suitable for growing:
"Flower Carpet® ground cover roses - often referred to as The Carpet Rose® - are popular the world over. Why? Because once established they can provide up to 2,000 flowers per season, have a long flowering period, are easy to care for and have exceptional disease resistance with drought tolerance. So what do you have to do? Just plant, fertilize, keep well watered first year and cut back with shears once a year to one third in size late winter. In spring they burst forth again with glossy new green foliage ready for the new flowers in late Spring." from Anthony Tesselaar International.
"White, yellow stamens. Strong fragrance. 16 petals. Average diameter 2". Semi-double (9-16 petals), cluster-flowered, in large clusters, cupped-to-flat, ruffled bloom form. Continuous (perpetual) bloom throughout the season. Short, compact, spreading. Medium, glossy, dark green, dense foliage. Height of 1' to 28" (30 to 70 cm). USDA zone 6b through 9b (default). The US Patent for Flower Carpet White describes it as a new and distinct variety of ground cover rose which forms continuously throughout the season attractive long-lasting pure white blossoms... the flowers appear in clusters and the outer petals tend to be wavy... the plant is winter hardy and sets small, orange-yellow hips..." from Help Me Find in America.
Recommended " planting distance is 32 inches (80 cms) apart" from Roses UK.

The photo below expands the Black Plant Label in the above photo to indicate that this old label has aged to the point where it is unreadable. Perhaps the maintenace staff in this garden might notice this and get it replaced with a new one - but this of course could involve expense (with only 1,000,000 visitors to this garden in 2013 and an excess of over £19,000,000 of income over expenditure for the Royal Horticultural Society perhaps it cannot afford this expense). |

Modern Roses: 19a English Roses David C.H. Austin OBE (born 1926) is a rose breeder and writer who lives in Shropshire, England. His emphasis is on breeding roses with the character and fragrance of Old Garden Roses (Gallicas, Damasks, Alba roses, etc.) but with the repeat-flowering ability and wide colour range of modern roses such as Hybrid Teas and Floribundas. Though Austin's roses are not officially recognised as a separate class of roses by, for instance, the Royal National Rose Society or the American Rose Society, they are nonetheless commonly referred to by rosarians, at nurseries, and in horticultural literature as 'English Roses' (the term he uses) or 'Austin Roses'. Modern Roses: 19b Patio Roses "An excellent new group, somewhere between a miniature and a floribunda in character. They are larger and more robust than miniatures, frequently having charming rosette flowers and neat, bushy growth. They are hardy and repeat well." from David Austin Roses. Modern Roses: 19c Miniature Roses "Miniatures grow to a height of between 12 and 18 inches, sometimes more according to growing conditions. They have been greatly improved in recent years and the newer varieties include some excellent bushy plants with prettily-formed flowers. They are useful for window boxes and tubs as well as very small gardens." from David Austin Roses. Modern Roses: 19d Dwarf Polyantha Roses "These have small rambler-like flowers produced in large, closey-packed bunches. Polyanthas are extremely tough and flower continuously. They form short, compact bushes ideal for the front of borders. These pretty little roses have recently enjoyed a return to popularity." from David Austin Roses. |

Comment "Bush roses were bred for use in formal rose beds. The large-flowered bushes are best for formal rose beds near the house, and for cutting. Cluster-flowered bushes are ideal for beds of showy colour and could also be planted in groups at the front of a shrub border, or even singly. Cluster-flowered bushes are better suited to poor conditions, especially wet areas, because their flowers withstand rain better. Choosing bush roses is a matter of personal taste, but there are do’s and don’ts. Choose either large-flowered bushes or cluster-flowered bushes. Do not mix them – the results can be very messy. Neither should varieties of large-flowered bushes be mixed in the same bed because mixed colours take from the effect of formal elegance. The more showy cluster-flowered bushes can be mixed, but stick to two or three varieties – avoid the ‘fruit-salad’ effect. Try to match the varieties for height – use the taller ones to the back, or the middle of a bed, mixed border or island bed – and choose complementary colours. Research the variety and try to see it growing – visit St. Anne’s Rose Garden, Clontarf, Dublin, or a rose nursery during the flowering season. Standard roses are used in the middle, or at the back of large rose beds, to add some height. They have long been used as specimens on their own, but less so nowadays. They could also be used in groups, or singly, in a shrub border behind low, non-competitive plants to give summer colour. Being true shrubs, the shrub roses are best placed among other flowering and non-flowering shrubs. They bring colour to a shrub border in late spring and early summer. The shrub roses can also be planted as specimens on their own and some of them make good informal, secure hedges The climbing habit of growth of climbing and rambling roses makes them ideal for covering walls and unsightly large objects. They can also be grown on flowering garden trees to give more interest, or on an old tree stump, pillar or pergola. Miniature roses have become very popular for patio and container growing. They can also be used on rockeries, and as house plants." from Using Roses in the Garden by Ireland's Gardening Community. |

An ADR rose is a winner in the German ADR rose trial (Allgemeine Deutsche Rosenneuheitenprüfung). No chemical pesticides have been allowed since 1997 and breeders often describe the trial as among the most challenging in the world.The trial is set up by a working group that includes the Bund deutscher Baumschulen (German nurseries association), rose breeders, and 11 independent trial stations in Germany. The trial results are analyzed by the Bundessortenamt (Federal Office of Plant Varieties). Roses are tested over 3 years and criteria analyzed include disease resistance, hardiness, attractiveness, and habit. About 50 cultivars are judged annually and more than 2000 cultivars have been tested since the award's creation in the 1950s. Roses that no longer fulfill quality standards have their certificate removed. As of November 2013, 161 cultivars are recognized. The Halycon Days Rose is an ADR rose. |
