THE PURPO

by giving us
a detailed pictu

over a wide rang

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 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
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

as they are fre
quently used fo

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
ause the contr
ast makes the b
looms stand
out more.
In general, if
the leaves hav
e good size, tex
ture and color,
and the foliag
e adds to the
overall attracti
veness of the p
lant in bloom o

be rated high.

COLOR
Color is p
robably the s
ingle most im
portant of th
e rose featur
es, but one a
bout which
there is little to
say. It is such a
matter of perso
nal preference.
For scoring,
we break color
down into open
ing bloom color
, and nishing c
olor. We do
this because
color can ch
ange as the b
loom matur
es. Some rose
s fade more
than others
,
and others dark
en and intensif
y with age bec
ause of photos
ensitive pigmen
ts. Blossom
color may also
change with
the weather
. Cooler tem
peratures oft
en cause the
bloom color
to intensify.
Colors ca
n be bright,
soft , vivid, d
elicate, pure
, rich, clean
, unique, bu
t just remem
ber
that roses can
be beautiful in
many di erent
ways. e real
question to ask

do you like a p

color. If it pleas

ROSE CHAR
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

d an asset for h

WHEN AND H
OW MUCH?
In our test ga
rdens, where we
have thousand
s of roses unde

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
st roses has roo
m for four form
al scorings.
e rst should
take place durin
g the rst bloom
cycle, generally
around 6 to 7 w
eeks a er

ext three scorin
gs should be p
erformed with
each new bloom
ing cycle,
usually about e
very 6 to 7 wee
ks. e score sh

points to be co
vered.
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
he Year winne
r.
HOW TO STA
RT
You may want

We just brie y
make a short c

ROSE CHAR
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
