Editor's Notes
2. Rose Classes grown: Species & species hybrids for most partRoses appear in Egyptian Tombs as funeral wreathsOne of the minor Roman Emperors showered guests with so many rose petals, he suffocated themImportation of roses was banned, because the ships were using valuable space usually reserved for grains for the roses used in Roman feast celebrations
Due to reduced trade & hordesEmperor Charlemagne was one of few who grew roses in garden other than monksCrusades:Knights brought new rose classes, Gallica, Damask & possibly Alba, from the Middle East to their home gardens in EuropeAdvance in knowledge: traders, diplomats and scholars began to exchange roses & other plants
Dutch painters focused on landscapes that included roses and other exotic plants; in general these roses were albas and centifoliasBritish herbalists found medicinal uses for roses, for example, fainting, weakness everything under the sun, whether it worked well or not

He was nicknamed "The Raphael of flowers
Rose ShowsRoses as a garden worthy plant are not as important as the bloom to the Victorian aestheticPrecursor to modern roses, i.e. HTsRemontancy, cold hardiness, color, showy bloomsHTs-cut flowers with long stems, awkward plants with few bare canes
Teas,Noisettes and Chinas tend to be more drought tolerant than many of the modern rosesThese classes of OGR are more disease resistant than many modern HTsLess likely to get powdery mildew, rust, black spot, etc. than their modern counterpartsIn our foggy damp coastal areas blackspot can be a problem, while in our dry foothills powdery mildew is more of a problem. So, picking plants that are more resistant to these diseases is of vital importance.
