| Cramoisi Superieur, a China Rose |
The Charleston Lowcountry Rose Society will have their March meeting on Monday, March 18 with social at 6 pm and program at 6:30 pm at James Island Town Hall located at 1122 Dills Bluff Rd., James Island, SC 29412.
The program will be the China Rose which is the foundation species upon which all our modern roses are built, whether they be bedding or shrubs or perpetual-flowering climbers. It’s influence in rose-breeding over nearly two hundred years has been so great, so overwhelming, and so potent that it is difficult to see where we should have been without it. The most important characteristic of a China Rose is its ability to repeat bloom.
Here are a few of the China Rose that are still popular today.
- Archduke Charles
- Cramoisi Supérieur
- Louis Philippe
- Mutabilis
- Old Blush
- Perl d’Or’
- Rouletii
- Slater’s Crimson China
- ‘The Green Rose’, R. viridiflora
