We still have a very important Buckeye district volunteer position vacant. Would someone please step forward to fill the consulting rosarian chairperson’s position? By the way, there is a new national chair for the consulting rosarian program. I would expect that our Buckeye District’s chair person could be a strong voice for changing and streamlining the program. The new national chair is very open to re-forming the program. Isn’t it time we can earn continuing credit via online classes or using on-line conferences like “Go To Meeting"? I was informed at the CR meeting in San Diego that we can get up to 4 credits for programs at our local rose society meetings. Contact me if you have questions. We need your voice at this important time to reform the antiquated procedures and look toward a future where more people seek this wonderful educational service. Please volunteer. Thanks! Steve

United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service

Study Sheds Light on Major Disease in Roses

By Dennis O'Brien April 8, 2019

Agricultural Research Service (ARS) scientists in Beltsville, Maryland and their colleagues have dis-covered why a mite is causing extensive damages to the nation’s $250-million-a-year rose industry and why it’s so hard to detect and control. It seems the mite hides deep in the flower’s internal organs.

The rose bud mite (Phyllocoptes fructiphilus) is about half the size of a grain of salt, but it spreads rose rosette virus (RRV), which is responsible for an incurable rose disease found in 30 states.

A study by researchers at the ARS Electron and Confocal Microscopy Unit and their colleagues pro-duced stunning, high-resolution images that, for the first time, identified the mite’s “hiding spots” deep within rose flowers and leaf buds. The images showed the mite at the base of the rose’s glandular hairs on the sepals, which are tiny leaf-like appendages in the base of the flower. By imbedding itself so deeply among the inner floral parts, the rose bud mite can avoid sprays or other treatments applied as controls.

The images also showed two other mites on roses, including one (Eriophyes eremus) that was found in the folded stipules at the base of the leaf stalk. The other mite (Callyntrotus schlechtendali) was dis-covered on the open surface of the leaves. It was the first time these two mites were found on roses in the Americas.

The findings should prove useful to rose producers, breeders, growers, scientists and others trying to find ways to control rose mites. Several predatory mites, for instance, were also found on roses sam-pled and could potentially be used as biological controls. Roses from 10 states and the District of Co-lumbia were sampled in the study.

The study’s lead author is Gabriel Otero-Colina, from the Colegio de Postgraduados in Texcoco, Mexico. He was a visiting scientist at the ARS microscopy unit. Gary Bauchan, who is director of the unit, is the study’s corresponding author. Co-authors include researchers from West Virginia Univer-sity, and ARS researchers from the National Arboretum’s Floral and Nursery Plants Research Unit also located in Beltsville.

Results were published today in the Journal of Environmental Horticulture.

The Agricultural Research Service is the U.S. Department of Agriculture's chief scientific in-house research agency. Daily, ARS focuses on solutions to agricultural problems affecting America. Each dollar invested in agricultural research results in $20 of economic impact.

The amateurs nose: I have long been skeptical of the what the wine bottle describes as smell elements, found in the wine. Similarly the rose distributors description of the smells emanating from the rose. I have carried out experiments at family gatherings of what does this glass of 2016 Red Blend smell of? The result of this random survey almost never results in the listing of what the smeller can smell compared to what is suggested on the bottle. Chocolate, coffee, vanilla, blackcurrant, smoke, oaky, etc. If you get fruity from one of them that’s as good at gets. I remember once at a spring work colleagues organized event at our house where we asked those invited via email to bring a bottle of wine, red or white wrapped in a brown paper bag. The guest would have pre-noted the smells listed on the bottle plus what type of wine and the year. The game required each person pick an unknown bottle of wine from the many gathered on the kitchen table. Then to pour a glass and after doing whatever he deemed necessary say what the wine was, the smells and the year if possible. Points were awarded for how accurate the taster was to the actual wine. One neighbor who was in-vited was first up to try the wine. I suspect he had tasted a few before arriving. We poured him a glass and all crowded into the kitchen watched what he would determine. He lifted the glass and ceremoniously tilted it and took a huge sniff then expertly took a sip making sure he sucked violently and noisily in his mouth and then placing the now empty glass down on the table declared the result of his advanced senses. WHITE he said.

Anyway I digress. Whenever the public wanders around roses displayed after a rose show, or a local garden club is wandering around my rose garden the main habit of these individuals, usually ladies, is to smell the rose and if it smells nice then declare that rose a winner in their eyes, or nose. Not me, I am all about the rose condition and overall health. I do not go out or stop to smell the roses. I go out to look at their health. So why don’t I smell the roses? Well knowing what I have sprayed them with certainly is a turn off: Coyote urine, green screen bags of meatmeal and peppers as deer repellent. Or, the chicory smell of Milorganite. Or maybe worst of all is the Alaska fishmeal I use. This has a particularly overpowering smell of dead fish. Plus the image of me snorting the chemical I have just sprayed is not an advisable practice I would take light-ly. The more you know the less you smell is my philosophy.

When is the Job Done? By Rich Baer

Lately I have read is several widely available sources that the last state of pruning a rose should be sealing the canes to prevent the invasion of the dreaded cane borer. This information once resulted in many hours of work to stave off its ruining local rose gardens, including my own. The insidious can borer still seems too be a mys-terious insect that not to many people understand. I am sure that many of the people giving the advice about sealing the canes do not even know what they look like. All they know is that it appears in the garden and starting at the end of a recently cut cane would bore down into the cane. This boring would eventually cause the cane to die. It would eventually bore all the way down to the bud union which could cause the rose bush to die. Now that, is a pretty scary little insect and worthy of prevention, if it existed.

There are many ways to prevent the damage caused by this insect and they were all pretty simple to do, but required hours and hours of time if you had a large garden. The preventative was as easy as sealing all of the fresh cuts with some material which would prevent access to the end of the cane by the borer. Different rose gardeners used different approaches. The one that is most highly recommended is the application of a drop of Elmers or other wood glue onto the newly cut surface of every cut made during spring pruning, and then treat-ing newly cut canes when deadheading during the growing season the same way. Other applications that were used were Vaseline or shellac. One thing that has ceased to be recommended is the use of pruning paint that was used on tree wounds because it would kill the ends of the canes, at least that was the rhetoric. (At this time it is recommended that this material not be used on any plants). It seems that the desire was to make the end of the cane hard and impervious to the advances of the cane borer. If the canes were sealed, the cane borer would not bore into the cane and thus would not kill the rose bush. One of my friends, Dr. Richard Franklin, had a unique approach to the problem. He used color coded thumb tacks which he stuck into the ends of the cut canes. White thumb tacks were used on white roses, red thumb tacks on red roses etc.

i stuck to the simpler methods, I used Elmer’s glue. I understand that Elmer’s now comes in colors so you could color match if you liked. Then other years I tried shellac. They both worked and I did not lose any roses

to the dreaded cane borer. It did not matter which method you used, but there was one certain outcome, many hours were spent sealing canes and it was certain-ly one of the more tedious jobs that was associated with rose growing. Even with all this care, you would still find a number of canes that had the small telltale hole drilled into the cane ends.

I once worked to renovate a garden that had very little care for number of years. It was in sad shape with lots of dead canes that should have been removed in previ-ous years, but overall the roses were still thriving. However, as far as the overall beauty of the garden, there was very little. But there was one curious fact that I noticed and that was that even though there had been some pruning done over time, none of the canes had ever been sealed and there was no evidence of borer

holes in any of the canes. It really made me wonder why in my meticulously tended garden I would get borer holes and this totally untended garden showed none. So the world, of the contrarian rosarian began to ex-pand. I wanted to learn why the insects did not affect or kill roses that had not been protected from them.

It seems that the answer was really rather simple. But the first step was to identify the insects involved since no one seemed to know what they were. In my quest, I asked the members of the Portland Rose Society to collect any stems they cut off during pruning that showed borer holes in their ends and bring them to the next meeting. I collected and analyzed over 500 stems from the participants of this experiment and I found and identified the insects involved. What I discovered was quite a surprise. Many of the dead stems that I was pro-vided with contained live insects within them. It did not take too much sleuthing to find out exactly what they were. Just identifying them was a great step forward into the mysterious life of the cane borer. It turns out that the mysterious cane borer was one of the many species of Ceratina, a small carpenter bee. Yes, they call them carpenter bees because they bore holes into soft wood to build their nests. In the case of the rose bush, they bore into the soft interior of the rose cane called the pith. However, in a living cane they can bore no farther down the stem than to the first node below the end of the cane because at that point the pith becomes too hard to easily allow them to bore into it. So, they leave that cane and go try another one. However, if they begin to bore into an already dead stem, the pith is soft all the way down to the living part of the stem, which may be all

the way to the bottom of the stem. They do not feed on any of the rose cane pith, they just remove the dead pith to allow them to make a nesting cavity where they lay their eggs. The adults provide the larva which hatch from the eggs with food. This food may consist of pollen from flowers, or in some cases aphids or other small insects, depending upon the species of the carpenter bee. Thus, these facts led to the formation of the myth of the carpenter bee killing rose bushes. People found carpenter bee nests in dead canes and assumed

that the bee had caused the cane to die. The fact that the bees use dead canes as nesting sites is the reason the untended garden had very few canes that showed cane borer holes. The bee tries to bore in a cane and if the cane is alive the bee stops after about one quarter of an inch and looks for another cane, then another until it finds a suitable dead cane in which it can

build its nest. So, if there are a lot of dead canes, they do not have to look very far. They also use these dead canes as a place to overwinter. You may find one to many individuals in a single cane during the winter sea-son. They stay in the cane until the spring has advanced sufficiently that they can find food sources to start their life cycle over for the current year. Despite knowing this about the carpenter bee, many rosarians are very reluctant to let their old ideas be replaced by current knowledge. Many major rose publications, including the American Rose, still give the recommendation that all cuts should be sealed to prevent cane borer damage. I read one recently were the author was teetering. She said, “yes, I know that they probably do not do dam-age but why take the chance that one of your roses could be damaged, seal the canes after pruning”. Thou-sands, perhaps millions, of hours have been wasted by rose growers because they have been told they must seal their canes to prevent cane borer damage. I was thinking about cane borers (ceratina sp) the other day when I was pruning the dead material from my Black and Blue Salvia plants that I had cut half way down last fall after the first frost. It was intri-guing to see that every cane had a round hole in the top end. So as I was thinking about what I was see-ing, I used my pruners to split the stems lengthwise to see what was in the center of the stems and what caused the neat little holes. Well as you might expect by now, every cane had one or more Ceratina carpen-ter bees down several inches from the top passing the winter months just like the ones in the above picture. In the canes I split, the tiny little bees flew away. The rest of the canes I left in the pot as in the picture above so that the bees can leave their over wintering nests when they are ready.

Of course, we do have insects that fall into the class of rose stem borers that actually do damage to our roses on occasion. However, none of these destructive insects enter the cane from the cut end. Their eggs are laid on the rose cane six to eighteen inches below the tip. When the eggs hatch, the larvae feed by moving into the cane and eating the living rose stem tissue. In the Pacific Northwest the only rose cane boring insect that we have has been the Raspberry Horntail Wasp. Across the rest of the country, there are at least three other in-

sects that actually do damage to rose canes. These insects can work their way down the cane to the bud union and cause considerable damage. Fortunately until this past year, none of them has made an appearance in our area. However, that has now changed. Four years ago the occurrence of the rose stem girdler was noted in the state of Wash-ington. Last year it was reported in three berry growing areas in Oregon. Hopefully, its spread will be slow and the damage it does will be no more than what we see with the raspberry horntail wasp. The larvae of the girdler enters the stem after hatching and feeds in such a manner that it cuts off all of the vascular system at its point of feeding and the stem above it dies. Since it is new to us, I have not experienced it nor have I been able to study it as it grows and does its damage, but for now I would not spend too much time worrying about it. And there will be nothing you can do to keep it out of your

roses stems if it appears in your garden, not even sealing the cane ends.

Buckeye Judges’ Corner

BUCKEYE HORTICULTURE JUDGING SEMINAR – Following the District Spring Meeting in Delaware on Saturday, April 13th a two hour horticulture judging seminar was held. I want to thank Peter and Susan Schneider and Jerry and Susan Dolph for serving as the faculty, and eleven Accredited Judges attended including Rick Lozon from Great Lakes District. The Buckeye District Judges’ Roster which can be found in this issue of the Bulletin shows when you are due to have a seminar to remain accredited.

HORTICULTURE JUDGING SCHOOL - Just like in 2011, a horticulture judging school will be held in Delaware at Willow Brook Christian Village in conjunction with Top Gun. The school is July 20th & 21st: 1½ days – all day Saturday and half a day Sunday (ending by Noon). We are down to 25 Accredited Judges in our district and need

more. Currently we have eight Buckeyes planning to attend the school with five others giving it consideration. If you know of someone who would like to attend the school or someone who would make a good judge but is reluctant to attend, please let me know. The faculty for the school will be Gary Barlow, Steve Campbell, ARS President Bob Martin, ARS Chairman of Horticulture Judges Bruce Monroe, Elton Smith, Jeff Sommer, Corky Thacker and me. The text for the school is Guidelines and Rules for Judging Roses which can be found on the ARS website and can be downloaded at no charge.

TOP GUN – This year’s Top Gun will be Saturday, July 20th at Willow Brook Christian Village in Delaware. A registration form can be found in this issue of the Buckeye Bulletin. Our guest speakers are Monica Valentovic and Gary Rankin, professors at Marshall University in Huntington and Chairpersons of the ARS Product Evaluation Committee. In addition Bob and Dona Martin, ARS President and First Lady, will present Top Gun programs. Judging school candidates will get to attend some of the Top Gun lectures when the lectures are related to the school curriculum. As usual there will be a Top Gun rose show to start off the meeting, but this year each attendee (including the candidates) may submit three entries instead of two as in the past in three of the four classes (so that we can have more roses for the judging school).

GREAT GARDEN RESTORATION PROJECT – If I haven’t already done so, I would like to come to your local society meeting and present a program that describes the exciting changes that are taking place in the rose garden at the American Rose Center in Shreveport. Let me know when you have an opening for a program. Steve Campbell and I were at the Rose Center for an ARS Board of Directors meeting several weeks ago and are pleased with the work on “America’s Rose Garden” (see photos).

The American Rose Society exists to promote the culture and appreciation of the rose, through education and research to members, to local rose societies and their

members, and to the public.

American Rose Society

The Buckeye District of the American Rose Society

Our History Founded in 1892, the American Rose Society is the oldest single plant horticultural society in America. The

ARS is an educational, nonprofit organization dedicated exclusively to the cultivation and enjoyment of roses.

ARS supports its members by providing educational programs, resourceful publications, and continuing re-

search. We have more than 300 affiliated rose societies in our national network. Most ARS members are home gardeners like you who enjoy growing roses and want to expand their

knowledge of rose culture. Many members also enjoy the thrill of exhibiting their roses in competition with

other rose-lovers or participating in photography contests and other rose-related activities. The American Rose

Society has developed standards and guidelines for judging these competitions. We also publish a schedule of

the various workshops, seminars, garden events and rose shows across the United States. The Society publish-

es an award-winning bi-monthly magazine, American Rose, which is devoted exclusively to roses and rose

culture. ARS is headquartered on the grounds of the beautiful American Rose Center near Shreveport, Louisiana. The

American Rose Center features more than 20,000 rose bushes that comprise nearly 400 cultivars of modern

and old garden roses. ARS is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit educational organization governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and operat-

ed by the staff under the direction of our Executive Director and Executive Committee. All donations are tax

deductible, as allowed by law. Mission Statement The American Rose Society exists to promote the culture and appreciation of the rose, through education and

research, to members, to local rose societies and their members, and to the public. Vision Statement The rose is America’s national Floral Emblem. We aspire to be the nation’s best source for information, re-

search and education about the rose for our members and for the general public. We will share this information

through a website, a national network of Consulting Rosarians, and rose shows and non-competitive rose exhi-

bitions open to the general public.
