High Country Roses

2012 Catalog

A Family Business Rose growing has been in the Campbell family since 1970, when the High Country Rosarium was founded in Denver by Dr. Bill Campbell after he had spent a decade collecting and testing many varieties of old garden roses in the tough climate of Colorado. In the 1980s, Bill’s daughter, Melinda Campbell, helped manage the business. Around the same time, Bill married avid rosarian, Linda Douglas Campbell. In 1995, Dr. Bill’s daughter and son-in-law, Heather Campbell and Day DeLaHunt, took over management of the business and moved opera-tions to their nursery in Utah. In the fall of 2011, the business moved back to Denver where it is now being managed by Linda’s son, Matt Douglas, and his wife Jennifer. The business has grown over the years, but we are proud that it has stayed in the family and continues to be a high-quality small business offering superior roses. History of Roses The development of the rose is closely tied to the history of civiliza-tion, from prehistoric time through the Roman Empire, the Middle Ages and the Victorian Era to the present. Old Garden Roses are de-fined as those introduced to cultivation prior to 1867 and include early European roses as well as the original rose species found in nature. Their extraordinary forms and fragrances are often matched by great vigor and hardiness. Modern Roses were developed by crossing European roses with China and Tea Roses from the Far East, which, though more tender, brought the characteristics of repeat bloom and greater color selection to rose breeding. We specialize in the early roses, as well as many of the exceptionally hardy shrub ros-

es developed in recent years which provide the wonderful qualities of low maintenance, repeat bloom and high landscape value. This cata-log lists over 270 varieties, including many cold-hardy roses devel-oped by Agriculture Canada and a selection of smaller landscape shrubs for gardeners interested in more compact varieties and lots of colorful, repeat bloom. Own Root Roses All of our roses are grown on their own roots, which means that they are grown directly from cuttings and not grafted onto a different rootstalk. In cold climates, roses on their own roots tend to be not only hardier, but also to remain true to the original variety should they die back in winter. On the following pages you will find an over-view of rose classes and our listing of rose varieties within those clas-ses. We appreciate your interest in High Country Roses and look forward to working with you. Happy Gardening! Matt and Jennifer Douglas

2012 Catalog High Country Roses

Introduction

The thousands of varieties of roses available today are categorized into rose classes, according to their history, parentage, and growth habits based on Ameri-can Rose Society (www.ars.org) guidelines. Those cate-gorized as “Old Garden Roses” represent types known in cultivation prior to 1867, the year in which “La France,” the first hybrid tea, was introduced. As roses freely produce varied offspring and the ancestry becomes more complex, the class lines often overlap, and many roses can appropriately be placed

in more than one class. Our groupings on the follow-ing pages are intended to help you select roses ac-cording to their hardiness and growth habits. We have organized our catalog into three primary categories: Species Roses (starting on page 2) Old Garden Roses (starting on page 4) Modern Roses (starting on page 11) Please note that a complete alphabetical listing of all of our roses can be found in the index starting on page 31.

Classes of Roses

A Note on Hardiness Plant hardiness is difficult to quantify since so much of a rose's success is dependent on local temperature fluctuations, soil types, wind, snow cover, and individual care. In our rose descriptions, the hardiness zones refer to the U. S. Department of Agriculture Cold Hardiness Zones, which are based on a re-gion’s average minimum temperature. See the map to the left or visit the US National Arboretum’s excellent Web site for lots of useful and interesting information: www.usna.usda.gov/Hardzone/index.html. Most of our roses are hardy to at least Zone 5 (-20° to -10° F), with many hardy in colder Zone 4 (-30° to -20° F) or Zone 3 (-40° to -30° F). We carry a few tender roses for grow-ers in milder climates or for those who want to grow roses in containers. Rose growers in all zones will want to check with local Rose Societies, the American Rose Society, county extension offices, and/or other nearby sources for tips on successful growing in their unique local conditions.

How to Read Catalog Descriptions Each rose name is identified as follows: Peace, Hybrid Tea (Meilland, 1945) Peace — The rose name, other known names, and the plant patent number (if applicable). A name in quotes is a “study name,” indicating that the true name (if there is one) is unknown. Hybrid Tea — The class in which the rose is catalogued. (Meilland, 1945) — The name of the rose hybridizer with year of in-troduction. Description — A brief attempt to describe the bloom and plant growth habit. Colors, height, and spread depend on many factors, so use the information as a guideline only.

Zone This indicates the USDA Cold Hardiness Zone (see map above). Repeat Bloom Roses are identified as: no repeat, slight repeat, good repeat, and continuous repeat. Fragrance Fragrance levels are identified as: no fragrance, light fragrance, mod-erate fragrance, and strong fragrance. Bloom Single—5 to 11 petals Semi-double—12 to 23 petals Double—24 to 50 petals Very Double—more than 50 petals

Old Garden Roses

Roses with Large Showy Hips

If you don’t trim the spent blooms off your roses they will develop seeds, which they carry in hips. Some varieties develop especially large and showy hips, brightly colored in orange or red. These can add interest in the winter, or can be used in recipes (they’re high in vitamin C). Wildlife ranging from birds to deer are attracted to the hips. The following roses de-velop excellent hips: Rosa eglanteria Rosa glauca Rosa rugosa alba Rosa rugosa rubra Rosa woodsii Ballerina Darlow’s Enigma Dart’s Dash Dortmund Frau Dagmar Hartopp Goldbusch Golden Wings Jens Munk Morden Centennial Winnipeg Parks Wenlock

Burgundian Rose (Pompom de Bourgogne), Centifolia (1664) A miniature Centifolia with deep pink to violet double blooms with a paler pink center and button eye. Fragrant, 1½ inch blooms in early summer. The bush forms a dense 3 feet tall by 3 feet wide mound with small, dark green leaves, attractive in the landscape even when not blooming. Zone: 4, Bloom: No repeat Fragrance: Moderate, Cost: $14.95

Fantin-Latour, Centifolia (Unknown Origin) Light pink very double blossoms open full and flat with a deep blush center. Outstanding late spring bloom with delicious fragrance. Hand-some dark green foliage on a vigorous, well-rounded shrub 3 to 5 feet tall and wide. Zone: 4, Bloom: No repeat Fragrance: Moderate, Cost: $14.95

Old Garden Roses are the classic old-fashioned roses developed in England, Europe, and the Middle East prior to the introduction of roses in China and the Far East in 1867. They typically are very fragrant, bloom heavily in spring (though some repeat bloom) and are most often found in shades ranging from white and pale pink to burgundy. Also known as “Heirloom” or “Antique Roses,” the following classes of roses are within this grouping: Centifolia Roses Alba Roses Damask Roses Gallica Roses

Moss Roses China, Tea, and Noisette Roses Bourbon Roses Hybrid Perpetuals and Portlands

The Centifolias were made famous by the Dutch painters of the 17th Century. Referred to as “hundred-petaled” roses, or Cabbage Roses, they are one-time bloomers noted for the fullness and size of their flowers. Normally tall shrubs with arching growth, a few are compact with smaller blossoms. All are very hardy.

Roses with Nice Fall Colors Naturally, most of us think of the blooms as the major attraction on a rose bush. We hope you’ll find that many of our roses have great fall color, too. These roses have especially colorful fall foliage:

Old Garden Roses


The Albas and their hybrids are known as the “White Roses” of Shakespeare, though their blossoms range in color from pure white to shades of pink. They are vigor-ous, hardy and very disease resistant. Their fragrant, abundance of blooms in spring are often followed by showy, red hips that persist through winter. Bluish-green foliage and upright growth habit make them a fine backdrop for other roses.

Blush Damask

These hybrids of Rosa damascena, are among the most ancient of garden roses. Cultivated by the Romans, they might have died out in medieval times but for the European monasteries that grew ros-es for medicinal purposes. They are known for fragrance and abun-dant June flowering. Historically, the petals were used for making potpourri and rosary beads. Damasks grow in an upright and airy form, until the weight of the blooms causes the canes to arch over.

Drought Tolerant Roses A rich, loamy soil is ideal, but if that’s not available, then add com-post to your planting area and mulch the soil surface to help even out changes in temperature and moisture. Soil conditions vary greatly, affecting the amount of water plants need, but some varie-ties are able to withstand more drought than others. Some of these roses include: Rosa glauca Rosa hugonis Rosa spinosissima Harison’s Yellow Persian Yellow (Rosa foetida

persiana) Austrian Copper (Rosa foetida

bicolor) Lawrence Johnston Banshee Stanwell Perpetual Thérèse Bugnet Rugosa rose varieties

Damask Roses


Like the Damasks, the Gallicas were also known from an-cient Rome and survived the fall of that empire by be-coming naturalized wherever they had been planted. They became very popular in France in the 19th century and many new varieties were developed. They are known for their purplish-red hues and tendency to sport blos-soms with stripes, hence the expression ‘The Mad Galli-cas.’ Very hardy, they tolerate poor soil and neglect. They spread by suckering, but are not invasive. The dark green foliage often turns a lovely purple-red in the fall.

Roses that Grow Well in the Shade Roses prefer at least six hours of full sun a day to bloom well. Here in the arid, high elevation west, some afternoon shade can be helpful, but in general, try to locate your roses where then can receive sun most of the day. These are a few varieties that are more tolerant of shade, but even those roses need at least four hours of sun daily. Ballerina Banshee Constance Spry Country Dancer Darlow’s Enigma Frances E.

Old Garden Roses

The Moss Roses are sports of Damasks and Centifolias, bred mostly in the mid-eighteen hundreds, though the type was recognized as early as 1696 in France. Named for the mossy appearance of the tiny hairs on flower buds and sepals, they are hardy roses with an upright habit and fragrant blossoms.

China, Tea, & Noisette Roses CHINA AND TEA ROSES

China and Tea Roses were brought from the Far East by sea traders in the late 1700's. Though not hardy in cold winter areas, they brought repeat blooming, the pointed bud form and a wider range of colors to rose breeders, leading to the development of mod-ern Hybrid Teas.

Mutabilis, China (1894) A striking combination with bronze young foliage and blooms opening yellow, then ag-ing to crimson. Needs a sheltered, sunny loca-tion to survive in cold climates, though it is a vigorous climber and prolific bloomer in warmer regions. Zone: 7, Bloom: Good repeat, Fragrance: None, Cost: $14.95

NOISETTE ROSES The Noisettes were the first roses to be devel-oped in the United States. Also better grown in warmer climates, those offered below may survive cold winters though the canes die back to the ground. Since they are grown on their own roots, they often re-sprout in spring to bloom profusely by June. We carry a few of these classic varieties for historical purposes and for rose growers who live in warm cli-mates.

Madame Alfred Carrière, Noisette (Schwartz, 1879) One of the best-loved Old Roses with intense-ly fragrant, large, cupped blooms opening pale pink and aging to creamy white. Nearly thornless canes make it easy to train as a pillar or climber reaching 12 to 16 feet. Zone: 6, Bloom: Good repeat, Fragrance: Strong, Cost: $14.95

Nastarana, Noisette (1879) Blooms are single to semi-double, white blushed with pink. They occur in large, highly fragrant clusters in mid- season, with good repeat.

The Bourbon Roses first appeared in the early 1800's on the Isle of Bourbon (now Réunion) in the Indian Ocean.

Most are hardy in Zone 5, though can survive in colder climates with protection.

Favorites of the Victorian Era representing some of the ear-lier attempts to induce repeat bloom in rose varieties, the roses in this class have large, full flowers and exceptional fragrance. Most have a heavy flush of blooms in late spring, followed by later cycles of fewer blooms. They are hardy plants that grow into sturdy, upright bushes of medium height.

Nearly Thornless Roses Most roses protect themselves with an arsenal of thorns and prickles. Here are a few nearly thornless varieties that are more hospitable than most: Rosa banksia (Lady Banks), Rosa blanda Golden Celebration Veilchenblau Victorian Memory Zéphirine Drouhin

Modern Roses

Hybrid Teas are the roses most commonly envisioned when people think of modern, florist-type roses. The blooms are typically high-centered with spiral form, and repeat several times through the sea-son.

Though many of our “modern roses” may seem quite old, the term is used to denote roses hybridized after 1867 when the first Hybrid Tea, “La France,” was introduced. Early Hybrid Teas were developed by crossing European roses with China and Tea roses from the Far East, which, though more tender, brought the characteristics of repeat bloom and greater color selection to rose breeding. The roses we know today often have very complex parentage as efforts are made to produce roses that bloom continuously, are fragrant, and come in myriad colors. The fol-lowing groups show a sampling of the diversity that is available to rose growers today. Hybrid Teas & Grandifloras Floribundas & Small Land-

“Darlow’s Enigma”

Of varied parentage, the roses known as Hybrid Musks are known for their immense clusters of sweetly fragrant flowers borne from mid-summer through fall, as well as their tolerance for light shade. The glossy foliage shows good resistance to disease in warm, moist cli-mates as well as cold regions. In colder climates, they are generally grown as medium-sized shrubs, while in warmer regions they may be grown as ramblers or climbers.

The miniature roses listed here are charming small shrubs which will, with proper care, bloom nearly continuously. Though small in stature, they are surprisingly hardy. The bushes are compact and branching; excellent for borders or in containers. Miniature climbers are similar to other minis in that their blooms and leaves are small, yet they tend to grow longer canes and can be trained to climb on a trellis or low fence.

The Roses Our roses are grown and shipped to you in quart (946 cc) size pots, 4½ inches square at the top and 5 inches deep. All are grown on their own roots and are 1 to 2 years old, growing in a peat-based soilless potting mix. We over-winter them in cold greenhouses and they may be dormant or leafed out, depending on when they are shipped. Since they are growing in containers, they can be planted as soon as you receive them, or stay in their pots for a few days until you are ready. Planting instructions will be included with your shipment of roses.

How to Order You may mail or fax in the order form enclosed, call us toll free, or or-der on-line from the secure portion of our website. Be sure to ask if we have any current specials!

Shipping We ship roses year-round, depending on the weather and your pre-ferred planting time. Please request a ship date that will ensure that the roses are not subject to hard frosts or excessive heat. We ship early in the week, via UPS or Priority Mail, so that your roses arrive safely by Friday. For East Coast customers, shipping via ground can take more than a week, so we use UPS 3 Day Select or USPS Priority Mail.

When to Order We try to maintain good supplies of our roses throughout the year. Due to the vagaries of rose propagation, some varieties may be ready to ship in the fall rather than spring, so check with us about our cur-rent availability. You may place an order at any time for a future ship date and we will notify you when the roses are ready.

Wholesale Prospective wholesale customers and rose societies looking for fund-raisers may request our current wholesale ordering and availability information. Minimum orders apply.

Gift Certificates If you’re looking for an unusual gift for your rose-loving friends and family members, we will happily provide gift certificates, either for spe-cific roses or a specified dollar amount. Ask us for details.

Our Guarantee We hope that you will be exceptionally happy with the quality of our roses. We guarantee them to be true to name, healthy and ready to grow when they leave our care. We cannot be responsible for local growing conditions such as unseasonable freezes, extreme heat or drought. If you have questions or concerns about your roses, please contact us within ten days of their arrival, and we will do our best to ensure your satisfaction. We very much appreciate your business and hope you enjoy our roses!
