GROWTH AN

D VIGOR

e rst qu

estion to answe

r is how well

does each rose

get started? D

oes it break

dormancy quick

ly? Does it put o

ut a strong ush

of new growth

? Does it contin

ue to grow

strongly until o

wering? It is o

en easiest to com

pare and score

the plants for vi

gor when

they are just

getting start

ed as new pla

nts. Also loo

k for the e e

cts of weath

er changes o

n

growth. All

roses tend to

slow down in

extreme heat

or especially

cool weather

.

Once the p

lant reaches m

ature size, new

growth will le

vel o and it m

ay become

harder to com

pare growth ra

tes. But vigor i

s one of those

things that crea

tes a general

impression. Jus

t step back and

look at each ro

se. e ones th

at have either p

oor or above

average vigor s

hould be appar

ent.

HABIT

Plant habit

refers to the sh

ape of the plan

t, its pattern of

growth. Is it l

eggy (have

little foliage on

the lower plan

t)? Does it spra

wl or spread? D

oes it grow up

right? Is it

dense or open?

Balanced? e

se are the questi

ons you ask as y

ou look at the r

ose.

In general,

good habit me

ans the plant h

as an attractiv

e overall shape

. For hybrid

teas, we want a

plant that is r

easonably tall, w

ith canes that a

re evenly distr

ibuted and

grow more upw

ard than outw

ard. e canes

should branch

o en enough

to create an

attractive look

ing plant. New

growth should

be evenly distri

buted and shou

ld not cover

and hide the bl

ossoms.

DISEASE RES

ISTANCE

Some plan

ts naturally r

esist disease

s, others are

more susce

ptible. If a p

lant seems

more prone to

mildew, blacks

pot, or other c

ommon disease

FOLIAGE

ere are d

of foliages. Ro

se leaves can b

e glossy, semi-

glossy, matte

green, light

green, dark

ddish. One

isnt better t

han the othe

rs per se. A

particular kind

of foliage is be

tter only when

it serves to pr

esent the bloom

s to some

advantage. For

example, dark

foliage acts as a

more e ective

backdrop for w

hite or light

yellow blooms

than light gre

en foliage, bec

ause the contr

ast makes the b

looms stand

out more.

In general, if

the leaves hav

For scoring,

we break color

ere were countless individuals who proved themselves to be heroes both during and a er the tragic events of September 11, 2001. In an attempt to pay tribute to the numerous acts of self-sacri ce that day, we named our 2013 Floribunda of the Year Heroes Rose. We chose this purple rose because its color is the perfect combination of blue and red, the colors representative of the amazing men and women from the re and police departments who responded so quickly and so bravely on 9/11. e name was selected to honor the rst responders as well as the regular citizens who stepped forward with no thought to their own safety to save the lives of friends and strangers alike. President George W. Bush said it best during his speech at the dedication of the 9/11 Pentagon Memorial: On a day when buildings fell, heroes rose.

ACTERISTICS

TO EVALUAT

E

e followin

g features are t

hose youll nd

listed on your

score sheets.

e rst ve

relate to the pla

nt itself, and th

e following seve

n are related to

the blooms. W

eve tried

to explain what

each is and giv

e a little inform

ation to help yo

u in your scorin

g.

GROWTH AN

D VIGOR

e rst qu

estion to answe

r is how well

does each rose

get started? D

oes it break

dormancy quick

ly? Does it put o

ut a strong ush

of new growth

? Does it contin

ue to grow

strongly until o

wering? It is o

en easiest to com

pare and score

the plants for vi

gor when

they are just

getting start

ed as new pla

nts. Also loo

k for the e e

cts of weath

er changes o

n

growth. All

roses tend to

slow down in

extreme heat

or especially

cool weather

.

Once the p

lant reaches m

ature size, new

growth will le

vel o and it m

ay become

harder to com

pare growth ra

tes. But vigor i

s one of those

things that crea

tes a general

impression. Jus

t step back and

look at each ro

se. e ones th

at have either p

oor or above

average vigor s

hould be appar

ent.

HABIT

Plant habit

refers to the sh

ape of the plan

t, its pattern of

growth. Is it l

eggy (have

little foliage on

the lower plan

t)? Does it spra

wl or spread? D

oes it grow up

right? Is it

dense or open?

Balanced? e

se are the questi

ons you ask as y

ou look at the r

ose.

In general,

good habit me

ans the plant h

as an attractiv

e overall shape

. For hybrid

teas, we want a

plant that is r

easonably tall, w

ith canes that a

re evenly distr

ibuted and

grow more upw

ard than outw

ard. e canes

should branch

o en enough

to create an

attractive look

ing plant. New

growth should

be evenly distri

buted and shou

ld not cover

and hide the bl

ossoms.

DISEASE RES

ISTANCE

Some plants

naturally resis

t diseases, othe

rs are more sus

ceptible. If a pl

ant seems

more prone to

mildew, blacks

pot, or other c

ommon disease

s, it should be

scored low

for disease resi

stance. Go ahe

ad and treat su

ch problems if

they occur. You

dont need

to leave proble

ms untended f

or purposes of

the test. Just ra

te the rose low

er or higher,

depending on h

ow much specia

l treatment it n

eeds.

STEM AND N

ECK QUALIT

WHEN AND H

OW MUCH?

In our test ga

rdens, where we

have thousand

s of roses unde

r test, the rule is

to look at

each variety as

o en as possibl

e, especially du

ring periods wh

en the plants are

most active.

is usually me

ans during the

spring and duri

ng the fall ush

es of bloom.

For Test Pane

l purposes, We

would recomm

end that you re

view your plant

s about once

a week. If you d

o so, by the end

of the season y

ou will be quite

familiar with e

ach rose and

able to give it a

good assessme

nt.

e score she

et weve provid

ed with your te

take place durin

around 6 to 7 w

usually about e

very 6 to 7 wee

THE PURPO

SE OF THE EV

ALUATION

e roses yo

u are to evaluat

e have already b

een tested over

a number of se

asons. ey

have survived

the nal cut an

d are the most

promising of t

heir test group

. ey have

already establis

hed themselves

as hybrid teas,

and very good

ones.

All are ro

ses that loo

k clearly to

be of introd

uction qualit

y in our test

garden. Wh

at

we dont know

is how well they

will perform e

lsewhere. Some

roses only perf

orm well in

certain climate

s and soils. e

Test Panel eval

uations answer

such questions

by giving us

a detailed pictu

re of each rose

s performance

over a wide rang

e of growing co

nditions: in

di erent climat

es, in di erent

soils, and und

er home garde

n conditions.

And ther

es another im

portant thing

we learn fr

om your eva

luations. Th

ey give us a

feel for the rela

tive appeal of th

e various test va

rieties. e test

isnt strictly a c

ompetition,

with one variet

y winning over

the others. We

can introduce

one of them, al

l of them, or

even none of th

em a er weve

seen the result

s. But many tim

es one variety w

ill stand out

as a favorite fo

r most of the p

anel. It will get

rave reviews in

report a er re

port. When

that happens, w

e know we are

looking at a po

tential Rose of t

HOW TO STA

RT

You may want

We just brie y

make a short c

omment on fol

make mention

if any features e

ACTERISTICS

TO EVALUAT

E

e followin

g features are t

hose youll nd

listed on your

score sheets.

e rst ve

relate to the pla

nt itself, and th

e following seve

n are related to

the blooms. W

eve tried

to explain what

each is and giv

e a little inform

ation to help yo

u in your scorin

g.

GROWTH AN

D VIGOR

e rst qu

estion to answe

r is how well

does each rose

get started? D

oes it break

dormancy quick

ly? Does it put o

ut a strong ush

of new growth

? Does it contin

ue to grow

strongly until o

wering? It is o

en easiest to com

pare and score

the plants for vi

gor when

they are just

getting start

ed as new pla

nts. Also loo

k for the e e

cts of weath

er changes o

n

growth. All

roses tend to

slow down in

extreme heat

or especially

cool weather

.

Once the p

lant reaches m

ature size, new

growth will le

vel o and it m

ay become

harder to com

pare growth ra

tes. But vigor i

s one of those

things that crea

tes a general

impression. Jus

t step back and

look at each ro

se. e ones th

at have either p

oor or above

average vigor s

hould be appar

ent.

HABIT

Plant habit

refers to the sh

ape of the plan

t, its pattern of

growth. Is it l

eggy (have

little foliage on

the lower plan

t)? Does it spra

wl or spread? D

oes it grow up

right? Is it

dense or open?

Balanced? e

se are the questi

ons you ask as y

ou look at the r

ose.

In general,

good habit me

ans the plant h

as an attractiv

e overall shape

. For hybrid

teas, we want a

plant that is r

easonably tall, w

ith canes that a

re evenly distr

ibuted and

grow more upw

ard than outw

ard. e canes

should branch

o en enough

to create an

attractive look

ing plant. New

growth should

be evenly distri

buted and shou

ld not cover

and hide the bl

ossoms.

DISEASE RES

ISTANCE

Some plants

naturally resis

t diseases, othe

rs are more sus

ceptible. If a pl

ant seems

more prone to

mildew, blacks

pot, or other c

ommon disease

s, it should be

scored low

for disease resi

stance. Go ahe

ad and treat su

ch problems if

they occur. You

dont need

to leave proble

ms untended f

or purposes of

the test. Just ra

te the rose low

er or higher,

depending on h

ow much specia

l treatment it n

eeds.

STEM AND N

ECK QUALIT

Y

Long, straigh

t stems carryin

g single blossom

s are considere

d an asset for h

ybrid teas

as they are fre

quently used fo

r cut owers an

d exhibition. If

the bloom tips

over on its

stem, the rose i

s said to have a

weak neck.

is is a fault.

FOLIAGE

ere are d

i erent kinds

of foliages. Ro

se leaves can b

e glossy, semi-

glossy, matte

green, light

green, dark

green, or re

ddish. One

isnt better t

han the othe

rs per se. A

particular kind

of foliage is be

tter only when

it serves to pr

esent the bloom

s to some

advantage. For

example, dark

foliage acts as a

more e ective

backdrop for w

hite or light

yellow blooms

than light gre

en foliage, bec
