SUMMARY:Scottish and Northern summer visits - Jackson's Wold and Castle Howard
DESCRIPTION:Arrangements have been finalised for two visits in late June to gardens in North Yorkshire. \nThe first is to Jackson’s Wold Garden near Sherburn (YO17 8QJ) and is scheduled for the afternoon of Wednesday June 25th. Mr and Mrs Cundall have developed the three acre gardens at their farm on the Yorkshire Wolds over the last forty years to include a wide range of planting and design. In addition to stunning views the gardens include one that is south facing\, a woodland garden\, kitchen garden\, courtyard and walled garden. Whilst the whole garden is an horticultural heaven\, roses have pride of place throughout. \nMrs Cundall will introduce the gardens and take us on an initial tour around then leave us to wander at will before resorting to the barn for tea. \nThe second visit is to be on the following day – Thursday 26th June – to the gardens of Castle Howard (YO60 7DA). This baroque mansion is surrounded by a notable designed landscape of temples\, monuments\, lakes and fountains. However\, our particular interest on this visit will be the walled gardens where\, as at Jackson’s Wold\, roses are in abundance. There is a formal rose garden\, a sundial garden\, Lady Celia’s garden and the Venus garden as well as a potager. \nIt is hoped that Alastair Gunn\, the head of gardens and landscape\, will be available to give a brief outline of the development of these various elements into this fine ensemble. \nThese gardens are within a few miles of one another and lie in the area roughly bounded by Malton\, Scarborough\, and York. \nFor further details and expressions of interest contact John West at johnwest@btconnect.com or 01505 850 483

SUMMARY:Romantic Rousham
DESCRIPTION:Roses at Rousham \nRousham\, near Bicester: We meet at 10:30 at Rousham House and Gardens for a private tour led by our highly knowledgeable and experienced chairman\, Michael Marriott. \nRousham Rill \nDescribed by the owners as “completely unspoilt and uncommercialised”\, the eighteenth century pleasure grounds at Rousham are largely unchanged since the time of William Kent. There are also three seventeenth century walled gardens\, packed with old roses and tumbling perennial plants. There are a number of unidentified Gallica roses at Rousham which our members are invited to identify. After a leisurely picnic lunch within the garden we will spend time in the afternoon exploring the rest of the extensive and highly picturesque grounds (bring your own picnic). \n \nPhoto credits Michael Marriott

SUMMARY:Two Gardens in Fife
DESCRIPTION:Arrangements have been confirmed for the HRG visits to two gardens in Fife at the end of June. \nCambo House \n26 June – Cambo House: On Wednesday 26th June a visit has been arranged to the garden of Cambo House\, Kingsbarns in Fife\, starting at 2.00 pm. The large walled garden at Cambo holds a significant collection of old roses along with more recent introductions. The collection of climbing roses has been a particular feature for many years\, but the garden also displays a range of herbaceous planting. \n  \nWemyss Castle \n\n27 June – Wemyss Castle: On the following day\, Thursday 27th June\, the group will visit the gardens of Wemyss Castle\, overlooking the Firth of Forth between the villages of East and West Wemyss also in Fife\, again commencing at 2.00 pm. The six acre walled garden dates from the 17th Century and was formerly a productive site and includes heated walls for vines and fruit. Over the past 30 years it has been transformed into a pleasure garden with clematis in early summer and an extensive display of roses in mid summer. The Cambo visit will be introduced and guided by the head gardener Katherine\, and Charlotte Wemyss will initially take us round the immense walled garden at Wemyss Castle. \nThe charge for Cambo will be £15 for members and £20 for friends\, whilst that for Wemyss will be £20 and £25. \nWhilst these visits are held on consecutive days no arrangements have been made for overnight accommodation as it has previously proved too difficult to meet the range of requirements and travel plans. The Stables Visitor Centre at Cambo is\, however\, available for a light lunch if required before that visit; and the afternoon at Wemyss will conclude with light refreshments with our host. \nEarly confirmation of your intention to join these visits would be appreciated. Cheques should be made payable to Historic Roses Group (Scotland) and sent to: \nJohn West (HRG)\nWoodlands\, Birchwood Road\, Uplawmoor G78 4DG\ntel: 01505850483\ne mail: JohnWest@btconnect.com

SUMMARY:Visit to rose gardens in the Loire Valley
DESCRIPTION:This tour is now sold out.\nIf you would like your name to be added to the waiting list\nplease email Mary Hember on mary@hember.net \nThe tour will now start in London and travel to and from France by Eurostar. Departure on Monday morning at 09.30 from St Pancras. \nWe plan to take you to some beautiful gardens created by people with a passion for old roses. The itinerary will include the following gardens. \n\nLe Chateau du Rivau is situated in the heart of the Regional Nature Reserve of the Loire Valley and is a World Heritage Site.The owner\, Patricia Laigneau\, is a great lover of roses and has assembled a very large collection of old roses\, both once and repeat flowering\, including some which are seldom seen\, also many species and rugosa roses. The rest of the gardens in the 12 acres have been recreated from documents in the archives of Le Rivau\, which was made famous by Rabelais. Patricia Laigneau would be happy to meet us and show us round. She is particularly fond of the most fragrant roses and has a garden dedicated to them.\nLe Chateau du Lude – La Comtesse de Nicolaÿ\, also a lover of old roses\, has created a rose garden near the chateau and overlooking the peaceful setting alongside the river. At the time we propose this visit there will be a Gardeners’ Weekend event at the chateau with other people displaying their plants and products to add to the interest.\nManoir de Possoniėre This is the birthplace of Pierre de Ronsard\, 16th-century poet\, and is kept by the Département as a memorial to him. There is a large collection of old roses and species set in island beds and well labelled. The rest of the garden is very pleasant. The church in the village\, which dates from the 13th century\, was modified by Louis de Ronsard\, Pierre’s father\, in the 16th century and is decorated with many shields bearing the Ronsard coat of arms. He also decorated the manor with sculptures which are one of the first manifestations of the influence of the Italian Renaissance in France.\nJardin du Plessis Sasnières This is a garden different from any of the gardens one normally encounters in France. Rosamée Henrion is an admirer of English gardens and has created a garden in the English style\, in tune with the landscape. It has been developed gradually since it was inherited in 1960. The variety and range of plants is impressive\, as are the plant combinations and the settings created for them. It is indeed an enchanting garden to visit.\nLes Jardins de Roquelin A beautiful\, informal garden planted with a mix of trees\, shrubs\, perennials and roses with the emphasis very much on the latter. There are 450 roses in total made up of a wonderful mix of historic roses\, modern roses and many climbers and ramblers. Many of the ramblers come from chance seedlings found in the garden and look superb growing up into the trees. There is also a superb curvilinear greenhouse rescued by the owner Stéphane Chassine who used to work for André Eve.\n\n Other possibilities are the villages of roses\, Chedigny\, an enchanting village full of roses\, as well as Chateau de Valmer and Le Javeliere\, the latter with the national collection of species roses. \nThe all-inclusive price for the four-night stay is £850 per person sharing a room and £950 per person for single occupation. \nThis tour is now sold out\, but if you would like your name to be added to the waiting list please email Mary Hember on mary@hember.net \n \n

SUMMARY:Cuttings day at Carolside
DESCRIPTION:Once again\, Mrs Rose Foyle has kindly agreed to host a day for HRG members to visit Carolside near Lauder in the Scottish Borders to take cuttings from the roses in her extensive collections. \nThe date of 22 November is around a month later than that of last year’s exercise. Whilst the general lack of success then may be attributable in part to the very cold subsequent winter and spring\, this year’s timing should ensure fully hardened material for cuttings. We plan to try to propagate some of the rarer varieties in the collection to create a dispersed reserve\, as well as give members an opportunity to acquire roses that might not be easily obtained otherwise. \nBecause of the lateness in the year\, the day will start at 11am. \nIf you would like to join the group for this day at Carolside please contact John West.

SUMMARY:Historic Roses Group AGM
DESCRIPTION:Photo above of ‘Quatre Saisons’ by Michael Marriott \nThis year we will be holding our AGM slightly earlier than normal\, on 21 September. It will be held at Kimbridge Barn\, Kimbridge\, Romsey\, Hampshire\, SO51 0LE. \n10am: Morning coffee followed by the AGM chaired by Michael Marriott\, HRG chairman.\n11.45: Talk by the excellent and very experienced Martin Stott entitled The Storyteller Garden. See below for more information.\n12.45: Buffet lunch.\nAfternoon: Travel to the beautiful Houghton Lodge Gardens a little under 6 miles away at Houghton\, Stockbridge\, SO20 6LQ\n16.00: Afternoon tea. \nPrice per person: £40 for HRG members\, £45 for non-members. This includes lunch\, entry to the gardens\, and afternoon tea. \nIf you would like to attend or have any queries please contact Maeve Heneke by emailing maheneke@hotmail.com \n  \nThe Storyteller Garden\nLecture by Martin Stott \n \nAt the end of the last ice age it is estimated that Britain had no more than 200 or so types of plant. It means that nearly everything growing in our gardens today has travelled or been created relatively recently. Each plant has a story to tell\, and some of these tales might surprise you. \nIn this talk Martin will explain the concept of “the storyteller garden” and inspire you to look at your plants with a fresh perspective. Expect plenty of rose stories\, but he might also squeeze in some other tales too – in the words of the BBC mission\, “inform\, educate and entertain”. \nFor many years Martin travelled the world looking for stories to share with BBC World Service and Radio 4 listeners – he made programmes in 21 countries and all corners of the world. Today\, he need only step outside his back garden for inspiration.

SUMMARY:Visit to Wiltshire gardens
DESCRIPTION:We will be visiting two wonderful gardens in Wiltshire\, not far from Chippenham\, both of which have collections of historic roses and are enchanting. \n\nCadenham Manor This glorious four-acre garden is made up of a series of rooms around a listed manor house and dovecot.  Divided by yew hedges and moats\, the garden rooms are furnished with specimen trees\, mixed borders and stunning displays of old roses plus fountains and statues to focus the eye. There are at least 70 varieties of both shrub and climbing roses\, the great majority of which are historic ones and a few as yet unnamed. The garden has a magical atmosphere with its old stone walls and buildings combined with the moat and some modern day design updates by the notable garden designer James Alexander-Sinclair.\n\n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\n  \n\nGreat Chalfield The gardens\, orchards and water features were designed on Arts and Crafts principles by Alfred Parsons and Captain Partridge to complement the restoration of the superb manor in the early 20th century. The garden is divided into a number of different areas\, many of them containing roses. Some date back over 100 years and are still going strong\, including a magnificent climbing Mme Caroline Testout. While most of the roses are historic\, some are more recent\, having been introduced in the 20th century. The roses vary from the very well-known and often seen like Rambling Rector and Wedding Day through ones much less so like Bennet’s Seedling\, Lady Waterlow and Blushing Lucy. And as at Cadenham there are some unidentified ones that we can stand round and ponder.\n\n\n		\n		\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n			\n				\n			\n		\n\nPrice £30 for HRG members\, £40 for non-members (must attend with a member). \nIf you would like to book or have any queries\, please email historicrosesgroup@gmail.com \nWe will meet at Cadenham Manor (SN15 4NH\, directions on website) at 10.30am for coffee and an introductory talk by Victoria Nye\, the owner\, followed by a tour of the garden from 11am. \nAfter lunch (perhaps together in a local pub\, if liked) we will reassemble at Great Chalfield Manor\, Atworth (SN12 8NH) at 3pm. As there is also an NGS open day on this day\, perhaps it would be best if we were to assemble in the car park before going in. The very interesting house can also be visited for an additional £3.

SUMMARY:Pruning and Training: talk by Bev Bond
DESCRIPTION:In this talk Bev Bond will be aiming to show the possibilities of these marvellous and sometimes majestic plants and will introduce you to some beautiful plants that she has cared for over the years. She will explore training\, supports\, growing plants on buildings\, (including historic buildings) and the importance of soil\, aspect and establishment. She will discuss some of her techniques\, rose varieties\, pruning cuts\, wound healing\, pruning for direction and planning ahead. Bev will also look at the supposed dichotomy between historical accuracy and ornamental value\, and the possibilities when restoring plants. Some information on tools\, tool maintenance\, health and safety\, ladders\, attachment\, wires and tying\, will follow. \nBev Bond was born into two families of market gardeners; her father and both grandfathers grew vegetables and flowers for Covent Garden. She was educated at grammar school\, then Braintree College\, Shuttleworth Horticultural College and The Open University. After working some years in the family business\, Bev moved to inspecting production of oats\, fruits and nuts\, throughout Europe\, for a major food manufacturer\, for 10 years. Then\, during a decade employed as gardener\, guide\, and garden guardian in a historic garden\, she further developed her pruning skills on large wisteria\, climbing roses and so forth and began to branch out on her own. \nFor the past 23 years Bev has been self-employed as a horticultural gardener\, and over the last 17\, specialising in wisteria and rose contract pruning and training. She has been lecturing on garden history and presenting talks on gardens\, and plants for over twenty years. \nThis is the last in a series of seven online talks on the theme “Roses from the Arctic to Australia” in partnership with the Gardens Trust\, with an international slant. Each talk is a live online presentation\, chaired by Maeve Heneke\, Hon Sec of the HRG\, with tickets available at £5 each of £28 for the entire series of seven evenings. Talks start at 6pm and last approx. one hour\, with an extra half hour for audience questions to the speaker. \nYou can buy a ticket here for the entire course of seven sessions for £28.\n \nOr buy a ticket for this individual lecture here for £5.

SUMMARY:Il Piccolo Roseto di Giovanni Chilanti: talk by Helga Brichet
DESCRIPTION:This small rose garden on a hillside outside Rome overlooking olive groves was established by Italian engineer Emanuele Dotti in memory of a dear friend who had inspired him with a love of old and species roses. It started life as a collection of roses grown in large containers on the terrace of Emanuele’s Rome apartment\, but soon expanded so that outside space became urgently needed to house them. Some land on the edge of a small village outside Rome was located\, and this is the story of how the rose garden developed\, with over 600 roses bushes in beds\, borders\, and climbing up olive trees\, overlooking a valley in a beautiful countryside setting. Now there are plans to establish a reading room in the farmhouse for visitors\, with a collection of books on roses from the late Milton Nurse\, former editor of the Historic Rose Journal\, donated by the Historic Roses Group. \nHelga Brichet is a distinguished rosarian\, plant-hunter and lecturer who was President of the World Federation of Rose Societies (WFRS) from 1997 – 2000. Now Emeritus President\, she lives with her Belgian husband\, André\, in Italy\, on a 5-acre hillside property in Santa Maria\, Umbria\, central Italy. Here Helga grows a large number of China roses and Hybrid Giganteas\, Hybrid Sempervirens and “Mystery Roses” from Bermuda. In her 9 years as chairman of the WFRS Conservation Committee she established the Specialised Conservation Committee\, constructing an international database on endangered rose varieties and their location. One of her ambitions has been to introduce to rose lovers in the western hemisphere old and historical roses from China\, many scarcely known previously in the west. In 2000 a beautiful chance seedling rose with single pale pink blooms\, discovered by Australian nurseryman John Nieuwesteeg\, was named ‘Helga Brichet’. \nThis is the sixth in a series of seven online talks on the theme “Roses from the Arctic to Australia” in partnership with the Gardens Trust\, with an international slant. Each talk is a live online presentation\, chaired by Maeve Heneke\, Hon Sec of the HRG\, with tickets available at £5 each of £28 for the entire series of seven evenings. Talks start at 6pm and last approx. one hour\, with an extra half hour for audience questions to the speaker. \nYou can buy a ticket here for the entire course of seven sessions for £28.\n \nOr buy a ticket for this individual lecture here for £5.

SUMMARY:What’s in a Name?: talk by Darrell Schramm
DESCRIPTION:If you’ve ever wondered how or why an historic/heritage rose obtained its name\, you may be interested in this talk. Who or what was the original inspiration for these often tantalising names? Were the roses named for celebrities of the past\, for particular places or famous events\, or for people who were linked personally to the rose breeder? More prosaically\, did hard-nosed business play a starring role? If so\, did this do the trick and help bring profit for the breeder and lasting fame for the person\, place or event – or for the rose? Darrell Schramm will briefly discuss the background or history behind about four dozen old garden roses\, and show you beautiful images of them\, too. It will be a virtual story time. Pour yourself a cup of tea – or maybe something stronger – and be prepared to be enlightened\, amused and entertained. \nA teacher and professor for about 45 years\, Darrell Schramm taught literature\, English composition\, poetry\, editing\, and rhetoric\, and is now retired from University of San Francisco. He was born in North Dakota\, and has also lived in Colombia\, Portugal\, and Spain. His publications include a book of poetry and Rainbow: A History of the Rose in California (CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform\, 2017)\, as well as poetry in more than 100 poetry publications\, plus articles in various academic magazines and journals. He is currently editor of Rose Letter for The Heritage Roses Group and of The Vintage Rose for The Friends of Vintage Roses\, and American Rose Society Chair for Heritage Rose Preservation\, as well as a member of the Historic Rose Group and a regular contributor to the Historic Rose Journal. \nThis is the fifth in a series of seven online talks on the theme “Roses from the Arctic to Australia” in partnership with the Gardens Trust\, with an international slant. Each talk is a live online presentation\, chaired by Maeve Heneke\, Hon Sec of the HRG\, with tickets available at £5 each of £28 for the entire series of seven evenings.

SUMMARY:Can you grow roses in Iceland?: talk by Vilhjálmur Lúðvíksson
DESCRIPTION:This presentation describes the climatic and environmental challenges facing gardening in Iceland and will explain the opportunities provided by recently successful efforts in afforestation in providing shelter that allows the cultivation of ornamental plants like roses. Only a small fraction of roses available today can be successfully grown in Iceland. We represent a marginal market to rose producers and there is no interest in breeding roses that can survive here. \nThe Rose Club of the Icelandic Horticultural Society (IHS) was established in 2002. Its role will be explained\, with an overview of some varieties and classes of roses now grown successfully – or unsuccessfully – in Iceland\, plus where they come from. Recent efforts in rose breeding by local amateurs and semi-professionals will be described\, plus the main challenges that face us as a result of extreme variability of our climate\, during summers more than winters – and the importance of finding the right cultivars. \nDr Vilhjálmur Lúðvíksson is a chemical engineer\, educated at the University of Wisconsin\, USA. He was CEO of the Icelandic Research Council from 1978-2004\, and is a former President of the Icelandic Horticultural Society (IHS) and past Chairman of the IHS Rose Club. His professional life was devoted to industrial development\, the shaping and implementation of science and technology policy in Iceland from 1968 – 2010. As a member of the Nature Conservation Council Dr Lúðvíksson has been involved in the Icelandic conservation and afforestation movement seeking and testing biodiverse forestry varieties suitable for Icelandic conditions. \nMarried with two children\, Vilhjálmur has spent over 60 years establishing a 17ha woodland garden on family land severely affected by centuries of overgrazing which destroyed vegetation and caused extensive soil erosion. Recently he has sought new opportunities in gardening provided by the shelter from growing forests. This includes ornamental trees and bushes\, fruit trees\, rhododendrons and roses. \nThis is the fourth in a series of seven online talks on the theme “Roses from the Arctic to Australia” in partnership with the Gardens Trust\, with an international slant. Each talk is a live online presentation\, chaired by Maeve Heneke\, Hon Sec of the HRG\, with tickets available at £5 each of £28 for the entire series of seven evenings. Talks start at 6pm and last approx. one hour\, with an extra half hour for audience questions to the speaker. \nYou can buy a ticket here for the entire course of seven sessions for £28.\n \nOr buy a ticket for this individual lecture here for £5.

SUMMARY:A Rose Garden on a Working Farm: talk by Michelle Endersby
DESCRIPTION:A formal rose garden in the middle of an Australian farm with a high likelihood of drought and flooding rains may seem like a frivolous extravagance. But at Sages Cottage Farm in Baxter\, Victoria\, an historic 38-hectare property run by disability service provider\, Wallara\, the rose garden plays a pivotal role in the experience and programs for clients and visitors alike. Not only a tranquil and calming display garden\, the roses are also a source of fodder for the farm animals\, a cutting garden for the café\, a source of materials for craft projects and food source for the bees for honey production. With a collection of interesting roses\, rose garden tours are a potential source of income and education. Michelle will show you the microclimates and the multitude of opportunities provided by this special rose garden. \nMichelle Endersby is a writer and visual artist from Melbourne\, Australia\, and the ‘Rose Lady’ at Sages Cottage Farm where she is responsible for the care of over 150 roses. Inspired by a vision of a light-filled rose garden she experienced on awakening from a coma following emergency brain surgery\, Michelle has made roses the focus of her creative and horticultural endeavours. She is also a member of the HRG and has contributed to the Historic Rose Journal. Michelle is the creator of the popular Art\, Gardens and Always Roses monthly e-newsletter. \nThis is the third in a series of seven online talks on the theme “Roses from the Arctic to Australia” in partnership with the Gardens Trust\, with an international slant. Each talk is a live online presentation\, chaired by Maeve Heneke\, Hon Sec of the HRG\, with tickets available at £5 each of £28 for the entire series of seven evenings.

SUMMARY:The Other Rosaceae: talk by Tom la Dell
DESCRIPTION:The National Fruit Collection growing at Brogdale is the most comprehensive collection of fruit varieties in the world. It is the contribution of DEFRA (the UK’s Department for Environment\, Food and Rural Affairs) to the UN’s Food and Agriculture Organisation’s collections of genetic diversity to secure the future of the world’s food crops. It is the only fruiting collection\, providing public access to the National Fruit Collection and to a wide range of education programmes on the heritage of the varieties held\, fruit cultivation\, and fruit in a healthy diet\, plus guided tours\, festivals and events. Tom will talk about the 4\,000 apples\, pears\, cherries\, plums and smaller collections\, and how Brogdale Collections is working to maximise the public benefits of these wonderful collections. Future plans include a series of fruit gardens from Medieval to Renaissance (Italian Villas) to Baroque (Versailles) and the Victorian kitchen garden\, to show around 400 historic varieties in their historic settings. \nTom la Dell is a landscape architect and ecologist\, a trustee of the charity Brogdale Collections\, a member of the Kent Gardens Trust and the HRG. Originally a plant scientist\, Tom became a landscape architect instead of working with breeding food crops. His work has included all aspects of landscape architecture\, often combined with his work as an ecologist. He has written extensively for the KGT and the Historic Rose Journal. His long-standing interest in garden history and plant heritage started with excellent lectures in the late 1960s. \nThis is the third in a series of seven online talks on the theme “Roses from the Arctic to Australia” in partnership with the Gardens Trust\, with an international slant. Each talk is a live online presentation\, chaired by Maeve Heneke\, Hon Sec of the HRG\, with tickets available at £5 each of £28 for the entire series of seven evenings.
