2020 Roses in Review Results
The results of the Roses in Review information submitted by society members and friends in the North Central District during the 2020 growing season have been announced. The national ratings summary can be found in the Jan/Feb 2021 issue of The American Rose beginning on page 60. Please take time to read the very informative article by Don Swanson that explains the rating process.
There is also a listing of the nationally ranked Top Ten Rated “Big” and “Mini and Miniflora” Roses. The winner of the Members’ Choice Award for 2021 was the orange blend Hybrid Tea ‘Ring of Fire’ hybridized by Chris Greenwood. It received a national Garden Rating of 8.3. Here in the North Central District, ‘Ring of Fire’ received a Garden Rating of 8.1. The Fragrance Award for 2021, also announced in that issue, was ‘Violet’s Pride’, a mauve Floribunda hybridized by Christian Bedard. Nationally, ‘Violet’s Pride’ received a Garden Rating of 8.1 and it was rated moderate for fragrance. Here in the North Central District, it received a Garden Rating of 8.0 and was rated light for fragrance.
The North Central District had 55 people reporting on 79 cultivars for a total of 220 reviews of 621 plants grown. Because of the hard work all of you, we again had the best ratio in the country of NCD reporters to ARS members in all of the country! This was the 9th consecutive year that we have won this award. Thanks to all who reported.
Copies of the 2020 RIR results have been sent to all societies in the NCD and will soon be posted on the District’s website ncdroses.org These rating results are for roses grown and rated in our district and give a little better picture of how these roses do in our climate and our soils. They are a handy reference when thinking about which roses to add to your garden.
Watch for the 2021 Roses in Review information in an upcoming issue of The American Rose and then plan on participating. You will be a part of helping the American Rose Society fulfil our educational mission to keep our members and the rose growing public informed about roses in the US.
Please contact, me, Maggie Barr, NCD Roses in Review coordinator, at rosemore1@mac.com, if you have any questions about last year’s results or about reporting on roses this year.
