The best varieties of roses in Cordes

Dedicated to Wilhelm Cordes III

Today, continuing an interesting topic

roses

, let's talk about a relatively young garden group - the roses of Cordes, get acquainted with its best representatives.

Rose of Cordesa variety Sympathie. Photo by the author I want to draw your attention right away that there are 2 concepts of Cordes roses: the first is a completely official garden group, the second is a rather successful commercial project, which (from 1887 to the present) is being implemented by the fifth generation of the Cordes family.

Semi-pebble rose, grade Westerland. Photo by the author Today the firm Kordes (W. Kordes' Sоhne), along with its compatriot - the firm Tantau (Rosen Tantau), the English firm of David Austin (Davud Austin Roses) and the French - Meilland, steadily replenish the world assortment of garden roses, creating every year more and more new varieties.

The origin of the roses of Cordes

They owe their origin to the spontaneous hybrid of the Cordes rose (Rosa x kordesii), which was obtained in Germany by W. Kordes' Sоhne from the rugosa rose and p. Vihurayana (Rosa rugosa x R. wichuraiana).

Rose of Cordes.

It is interesting: Wilhelm Cordes I (1863–1935) founded a real empire of roses in Germany in 1887. The first nursery for their cultivation was established in the town of Elmshorn, which is located north of Hamburg. Later, in 1918, the nursery was transferred to the town of Sparrieshoop.

It is interesting: After William I, the empire of roses of Cordes was led by a second generation, led by William II (1891-1976) and Herman I (1893-1963). The first of them retired in 1964, transferring control to the representatives of the family of the third generation.

Main features of Cordes roses

A whole complex of distinctive (from Rambler roses) features made it possible to isolate them into an independent garden group:

Rose of Cordesa grade of Oreanda. Photo by the author

• resistant to pests and diseases;

• winter hardy;
• large habitus (appearance): powerful bushes with a height of 1.5 to 3 m with whip-like shoots;
• leaves are dark green, shiny;
• flowers are large, double, collected in multi-flowered inflorescences;
• flowering abundant, remontant (repeated), prolonged (long - until late autumn).

Having decomposed the dignity of Cordes roses "on the shelves", we meet the 10 best varieties of foreign and domestic selection and continue to learn interesting facts about the pink empire of Cordes!

‘Dortmund’ variety

A very effective variety: despite its restrained German "roots", it looks incendiary, exciting, like a Spanish flamenco dance.

It is interesting: Over time, the pink empire of Cordes began to be ruled by a third generation, led by Reimer (1922-1977), Hermann III (1919-1986) and Werner (1911-1986). 3 directions of activity have been formed:

• breeding varieties of roses for open ground (garden);
• cut roses;
• miniature roses in pots.

The flowers are dark red, densely double, up to 9 cm in diameter, collected in small inflorescences; bloom from summer to autumn. Abundant and prolonged flowering (long lasting). The flowers are resistant to fading and other adverse weather conditions. The variety is suitable for decorating high, strong supports; on low ones, it forms spreading cascades.

It is interesting: Now at the head of the pink empire of Cordes are the sons of William III: Alexander, Norman and John. Many of the varieties created by this dynasty have been titled at National and International competitions and exhibitions. 1,200,000 seedlings are received annually. An applicant for varieties is undergoing a 7-year trial course. The main direction in breeding is the development of new varieties that are resistant to diseases and pests, and their cultivation without the use of fungicides. Added to the main criteria of Cordes roses: luxurious aroma, resistance of petals to rain and self-cleaning flowers that do not require additional pruning after flowering.

Sort ‘Adzhimushkay’

The domestic variety was created in the Crimea. It is a climbing rose up to 3 m high with powerful, upright, densely leafy shoots.

Features of growing roses of Cordes

Accommodation: Photophilous, prefer places of southern and southwestern exposure, loose fertile moist soils.

Shelter: In the southern zone of horticulture, they are grown without shelter, in more northern regions - with shelter for the winter. In central Russia, the stems of climbing roses, without cutting, are laid on the ground, spreading spruce branches. The top is insulated with one of the materials (dry leaf, spunbond, burlap, film, roofing felt, spruce branches).

Diseases and pests: They can be damaged by aphids, spider mites, larvae of rose sawfly, rose leafworm, thrips. They are affected by powdery mildew, gray rot, black leaf spot, rust, and shoot burns.

Reproduction: Propagated by green and lignified cuttings, grafting.

Application

These roses are especially good for vertical gardening of high solid supports: pergolas, arbors, walls.

Rose of Cordesa variety Oreanda, pergola for such roses, photo by the author ‘Sympathie’, ‘Spring notes’ can be used to create so-called ampel cascades, especially effective during the flowering period.

Rosa of Cordesa variety Gutsulochka, supports for such roses, photo of the author Rosa Cordesa is also used to decorate high (more than 2 m) stone walls, where they feel comfortable, bringing the southern summer charm of the rosehip scent to our summer cottages. In addition, the varieties ‘Adzhimushkay’, ‘Gutsulochka’, ‘Oreanda’, ‘Summer stars’, ‘Spring notes’ can be grown in specimen (single) and group plantings in the form of tall ornamental shrubs without using supports. The latter variety can also be used as a tall ground cover shrub.

Roses of Cordes in culture live for a long time, but over time, the bottom of the shrub vines becomes bare, so they need additional decoration - planting ground cover roses or flower perennials in the foreground. In the south, these shortcomings will be hidden from the eyes of lavandin, narrow-leaved lavender, medicinal rosemary, mock orange, weigela and others.

Do you have a variety of Cordes roses growing in your country house?

Roses of Cordes came to Russia only after the collapse of the USSR, but quickly gained popularity. These varieties adapt well to the local climate, tolerate low temperatures and bloom luxuriantly in any corner of the garden. It is not difficult to grow rose bushes, it is enough to know their features.

Why are the hybrid varieties of Cordes roses better than the rest

Roses of Cordes were bred by a German breeder by crossing the then known varieties. In his work, he focused on frost resistance and immunity of bushes, while not forgetting about the beauty of plants. In the nursery, unpretentious rose bushes appeared, grafted onto a dog rose or a dog rose. They not only took root easily, tolerated frosts, but also grew well on almost any soil.

Soon the nursery gained popularity all over the world. Today, new hybrids of these roses are being bred in the Crimea. Nikitsky Botanical Garden acquired German plants for further selection. Roses received a separate status, were combined into groups.

The best varieties of Cordes roses are presented in some groups:

Floribunda;

· Standard;

· Tea-hybrid;

· Ground cover;

· Park.

A distinctive feature is the packaging of the seedlings. The manufacturer protects the root system with a metal mesh. This technique allows gardeners to keep the seedling for a long time, if it is not possible to immediately plant the bush in a permanent place. Just dig in the plant anywhere in the garden. In addition, when planting, the mesh can not be removed, but the bush can be planted as it is. This does not injure the root system, and plant development does not suffer.

Today, the roses of Cordes are considered the best of all varieties, the producer company monitors the seedlings. They meet international standards and have a quality mark. Such a high assessment is not accidental:

10 best roses of Cordes

Dedicated to Wilhelm Cordes III
Today, continuing the most interesting topic about roses, let's talk about a relatively young garden group - the roses of Cordes, get acquainted with its best representatives.

Immediately I want to draw your attention to the fact that there are 2 concepts of Cordes roses: the first is a completely official, scientifically grounded garden group, the second is a rather successful commercial project, which (from 1887 to the present) is being implemented by the fifth generation of the Cordes family, being embodied in the varieties of roses they created.

Today, the Kordes company, along with its compatriot Tantau, as well as the English company Davud Austin Roses and the French Meilland, hold the entire world assortment of garden roses, creating more and more new ones every year. varieties.

The origin of the roses of Cordes

They owe their origin to the spontaneous hybrid of the Rose of Cordes (Rosa x kordesii), which was obtained in Germany by W. Kordes in the 1940s from the rose of Rugosa and R. Vihuriana (Rosa rugosa x R. wichuraiana).

From crossing the Cordes rose with varieties of other groups, hybrids of the Cordes rose were obtained.

:Wilhelm Cordes I (10.12.1863-20.08.1935)

) back in the 19th century (in 1887) founded a real empire of roses in Germany. The first nursery for their cultivation was established in the town of Elmshorn, which is located north of Hamburg.

Later, in 1918, the zeal nursery was transferred to the town of Sparrieshoop.

In his nurseries, Wilhelm Cordes I not only grew the best varieties of roses from France and England, but also created his own. His great achievement was the winter-hardy climbing roses, named after his entire dynasty and receiving the status of an independent group - the Cordes roses, or Cordes rose hybrids (Hybride Rosa x kordesii).

Today his descendants continue the "pink" business. In the Crimea, in the open ground of the Nikitsky Botanical Garden (hereinafter referred to as the Garden), selection is also underway with the development of new varieties of Cordes roses. The fact is that the German roses of the Cordes company were purchased by the Garden in the 1980s, which became the basis for the creation of domestic selection of Cordes roses.

The official status of the group, which is recognized in the USA and CIS countries, these roses received upon registration at the International Rose Registration Center (USA). In the European classification, including by the Cordes company itself, they belong to the Rambler group of climbing roses.

:
After William I, the empire of the roses of Cordes was led by the second generation, led by Wilhelm Cordes II (1891-1976) and Herman I (1893-1963). The first of them retired in 1964, transferring control to the representatives of the family of the third generation.

• leaves are dark green, shiny;
• flowers are large, double, collected in multi-flowered inflorescences;

Features of growing roses of Cordes

Accommodation:
Photophilous, prefer places of southern and southwestern exposure, loose fertile moist soils.

Shelter:
In the southern zone of horticulture, they are grown without shelter, in more northern regions - with shelter for the winter. In central Russia, the stems of climbing roses, without cutting, are laid on the ground, spreading spruce branches. From above, various types of insulating materials are used (dry sheet, spunbond, burlap, film, roofing felt, spruce branches).

Diseases and pests:
They can be damaged by aphids, spider mites, larvae of rose sawfly, rose leafworm, thrips. They are affected by powdery mildew, gray rot, black leaf spot, rust, and shoot burns.

Reproduction:
Propagated by green and lignified cuttings, grafting.

Application

First of all, these roses are good for vertical gardening of high solid supports: pergolas, arbors, walls.

The varieties 'Sympathie', 'Spring Notes' can be used to create so-called pink ampel cascades on low supports, especially effective during the flowering period.

At such supports, the ‘Gutsulochka’, ‘Oreanda’, ‘Spring Notes’ varieties will also look gorgeous.

Roses of Cordes are also used to decorate high (more than 2 m) stone walls, where they feel comfortable, bringing the southern summer charm of the rosehip scent to our summer cottages.

In addition, the varieties ‘Adzhimushkai’, ‘Gutsulochka’, ‘Oreanda’, ‘Summer Stars’, ‘Spring Notes’ can be grown in specimen (single) and group plantings in the form of tall ornamental shrubs without the use of supports.

The latter variety can also be used as a tall ground cover shrub.

Roses of Cordes in culture live for a long time, but over time, the bottom of the shrub vines becomes bare, so they need additional decoration - planting ground cover roses or flower perennials in the foreground. In the south, these imperfections of roses will be hidden from the eyes of lavandin, narrow-leaved lavender, medicinal rosemary, mock orange, weigela and others.

The top is insulated with one of the materials (dry leaf, spunbond, burlap, film, roofing felt, spruce branches).

Diseases and pests:

They can be damaged by aphids, spider mites, larvae of rose sawfly, rose leafworm, thrips. They are affected by powdery mildew, gray rot, black leaf spot, rust, and shoot burns.

Roses of Cordes are also used to decorate high (more than 2 m) stone walls, where they feel comfortable, bringing the southern summer charm of the rosehip scent to our summer cottages.

In addition, the varieties ‘Adzhimushkay’, ‘Gutsulochka’, ‘Oreanda’, ‘Summer stars’, ‘Spring notes’ can be grown in specimen (single) and group plantings in the form of tall ornamental shrubs without using supports.
