The original article was published in the American Rose Annual, 1951, at pages 101 through 116. This article was scanned and reformatted, keeping all the original content intact. Page breaks in the original text are indicated by page numbers enclosed in brackets, e.g. [101/102] marks the break between pages 101 and 102. Cass Bernstein and Mel Hulse, December 2006.

The art of graftage, of which the process called budding is a form, has been practiced since early in recorded history. The widespread propagation of roses by budding, or graftage, has been a comparatively recent development in the United States. Originally, roses were grafted for the purpose of getting them on their own roots. Varieties of slow growth, or those which required a lengthy period to form an adequate root system, were grafted on the root of almost any rose available, although the Sweetbrier, Rosa rubiginosa, seemed to be the first choice.

homestead - Bourbons

(E?)(L?) http://www.scvrs.homestead.com/OGRprimer.html
An alleged chance cross between Autumn Damask and a china resulted in the bourbon class. Bourbons are a varied class. Most are repeat-blooming plants from 2 to 15 feet tall, with fragrant, full, and often quartered blooms. They were popular from the mid to late 1800's. Souvenir de la Malmaison (1843) and Louise Odier (1851) are two popular varieties in this class and are great show roses.

...
What is a Hybrid Perpetual?
This is a question that is open to vast debate. It seems that in the beginning (the 1830's) it was a hotchpotch category where people placed all the repeat-flowering roses that could not be classified with:

The Portlands and Damask Perpetuals
The Bourbons
The Chinas and Teas.

Initially the name, "Hybrides Remontants", meant repeat flowering hybrids a vague definition for roses that were repeat-flowering hybrids of whatever possible. This resulted in a lot of confusion, which still exists today. But, by 1842, with the introduction of "La Reine", there was a redefining of the class. The "Hybrid Perpetuals" that followed were clearly a rather big family with common characteristics. Looking back, we can see that the first "Hybrid Perpetuals" were a synthesis of "Portlands and reblooming Hybrid Chinas with some Gallica parentage".

Home Page from Jack E. Christensen

Both independently and as Chief Rose Hybridizer for the renowned Armstrong Nurseries, I have grown and tested thousands of roses over the years and developed dozens of new rose varieties that smile in gardens around the world - including The White House in Washington, D.C.! Roses are a pleasure to grow - and much easier than many people think! In response to countless requests for advice I have written some easy-to-understand-yet-reasonably-comprehensive rose-care Booklets and developed an inexpensive, Easy-Gardener's Rose-Care Video in association with Golden Eagle Productions. I also wrote all the information on these web pages, featuring many gorgeous Rose Photos. I hope this helps you gain greater personal satisfaction and enjoyment from roses - especially Christensen roses!

rosegardenstore - Types of Roses

(E?)(L?) http://www.rosegardenstore.org/rl_types.cfm
The following are the most popular and most commonly used in the home garden.

The hybrid tea rose is the most popular, blooming more or less continuously from late spring until frost. Excellent for cut flowers and most have fragrance. This type needs winter protection in colder and exposed area.
The floribunda roses give a continuous cluster of flowers from late spring to late fall. They are hardier than hybrid teas and are good for mass plantings or low hedges.
The grandiflora roses are long-slemmed, hardy plants. Growing tall, the grandiflora makes a nice background plant.
Other varieties of interest include miniature, climber, landscape (shrub) and tree roses.

Organized in 1969 by thirteen members, the Rose Hybridizers Association has grown to an organization of about 200 members in over 20 countries. RHA members have introduced more than 500 new roses to the commercial market and in 1996, one of our members was awarded the coveted All-American Rose Selection for his rose, St. Patrick.
...
The primary purpose of RHA is to make hybridizing information available to members and to provide materials and services which will aid them in their work.

The Quarterly Newsletter is published Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter. Past issues are available for sale.
...
The RHA, in cooperation with the American Rose Society, has established a Test Garden Project at Shreveport, LA, and the Boerner Botanical Gardens in Hales Corners, WI.

...
The order Malvales has traditionally included four core families, Bombacaceae, Malvaceae, Sterculiaceae and Tiliaceae, although various authors have included other families such as Cistaceae and Cochlospermaceae. Recent phylogenetic studies (e.g., Alverson et al. 1998, Bayer et al. 1999) have revealed that the four core families form a monophyletic group, termed here the core Malvales, and have identified ten allied families which are included in the expanded Malvales shown in the tree above. Together, these families contain approximately 4,000 species and range from small Mediterranean shrubs like Cistus to towering tropical trees like Shorea. The order also contains many economically important plants, such as Cola (the source of cola flavor), Bixa orellana (annatto, a natural red coloring), Theobroma cacao (the source of cocoa) and Gossypium (cotton) and Ochroma pyramidale (balsa wood).
