Comments (3)June 18 to the 24th. ARS Spring National Convention - 2009 ~~~ Vancouver, BC~~~ Roses in the Landscape, Discover Vancouver! AN INVITATION FROM THE WORLD FEDERATION OF ROSE SOCIETIES: Welcome! Canada, a country of stunning beauty and striking contrasts, stretching from the Pacific to the Atlantic Ocean with its majestic snow-capped mountains and wonderful gardens, its inhabitants attached to traditions with their lilting accent either in French or English, will welcome delegates to the 15th World Rose Convention of the WFRS for the second time since 1985. The Canadian Rose Society, along with the Vancouver Rose Society, has been working for many months under the leadership of Brenda Viney and Darlene Sanders. A comprehensive educational program featuring first-rate lecturers and guest speakers from around the world has been prepared by the organizing committee. During the daytime, delegates will also have the opportunity to view a spectacular Rose Show and a Rose Festival which will feature our favourite flower in an abundance of rose and garden displays. In addition, tours will be offered enabling delegates to discover Beautiful British Columbia. Ample time will be included for visitors to gather together and deepen the ties of friendship that bind all rosarians together. The American Rose Society has decided to hold its spring convention in Vancouver during our world convention. I am overjoyed with this decision and it is my pleasure to extend our warmest greetings to all participants from the USA. On behalf of the World Federation of Rose Societies, I am honoured to invite delegates from our 38 member countries to join us in Vancouver for the 15th World Rose Convention and I look forward to sharing many unforgettable moments together, thus contributing to the richness of our Federation. Dr Gald Meylan Président Registration: (IN CANADIAN DOLLARS) Feb 1, 2009 to Onsite Seven Day Convention Pass $349 $399 $449 Three Day Convention Pass $249 $299 $349 Travel: Air The Vancouver International Airport has consistently been rated as a top North American airport providing easy access from all over the world. The Vancouver International Airport is approximately 11 miles from downtown. Transfer service is readily available by the Airporter bus, taxi, limousine or car rental companies. An efficient airport transfer service, the Airporter transports delegates from the airport to all the downtown hotels at a cost of approximately $12.00 each way or $18.00 return. Taxi fares are roughly $27.00 and private limousine service is $34.00 one way + gratuity. All of these services accept credit cards. (All fees are approximate and are 2008 prices, Canadian.) Car Vancouver is also easily accessible by car from other parts of Canada via the Trans-Canada Highway and from the United States via the I-5 Freeway which connects Vancouver with the entire West Coast of the United States. In fact, many American visitors make the easy drive to Vancouver just to spend the day (Vancouver is only a 3 hour drive from Seattle)! Visit the Canada Border Services Agency for official border information. A handy website describing border crossing information is borderlineups.com. Rail Vancouver is served by two main railways  VIA Rail Canada, which provides passenger service to other Canadian cities and Amtrak which accesses the US market. Located downtown, the Pacific Central Station is served by taxis and Translink, operator of local city buses, the Skytrain (a mono rail that makes convenient downtown stops), and the Seabus (linking Vancouver to North and West Vancouver). Exhibiting Roses at the Rose Show Exhibiting roses at the WFRS and ARS Rose Show is open to everyone! Cut flowers/roses from all countries do not require an import permit or phytosanitary certificate. However, they are subject to inspection at the first port of entry (any port of entry to Canada) and must be free of pests and soil. If you are shipping cut flowers or require assistance shipping cut flowers from the port of entry to the venue, then please contact Theresa Smith via email at tsmith@eventsonthemove.com. If you are bringing cut flowers with you, once you have cleared customs at the port of entry, then you simply bring the cut flowers to the venue. The Rose Show takes place during the Rose Festival at the Vancouver Convention and Exhibition Centre. Details such as loading and unloading in preparation for the Rose Show will be provided upon registration as a Rose Show Exhibitor. Customs Information Events on the Move, the official Custom Broker for the World Rose Convention 2009, will assist everyone who will be crossing borders with roses.

Comments (7)Do you want to do this yourself because the process sounds fun to you, or do you just want a tree rose? There is an own-root, ungrafted tree rose for sale that is extremely hardy in the north called Polar Joy. Other roses grafted onto standard form are available mostly through mail order, but in our climate need to be brought indoors in the winter or else the graft(s) will freeze. If you want to do this yourself, I would try it with a very hardy/vigorous/thick-stemmed rose. William Baffin comes to mind. I bet eventually he could be pruned to a standard. And he is vigorous enough that you could probably get a nice thick standard form within 3 years or so. You need to start from the begining and train the rose to a single leader like any standard topiary. It will take a while, esp. in the north....See MoreI'd like the tea roses to be on the tropical forum
Comments (62)york_rose, No I have not tried Duchesses de Brabant yet. I had high hopes with the teas and noisettes, because I was able to grow Mdme. Alfred Carriere with no problem. However, I read on the web recently that Mdme. Alfred Carriere is not a true noisette, and may in fact be a bourbon. I guess this explains its hardiness in my zone. Currently I am down to thirteen tea roses, and only three are thriving. I am really surprised by the climber Souv. de Mdme. Leonie Viennot; instead of dying back, it has put on long canes last summer. Mlle. de Sombreuil is also turning out to be quite hardy, and so is Mdme. Joseph Schwartz. I am really hopeful that these could turn out to be the teas that will grow into the stunning roses that I've seen here....See MoreI'd like the Austin roses to be in the modern forum.
Comments (85)just 2 things, maybe i'm blind: i went looking for this "modern rose forum" and i can't find it. seems the "modern forum" doesn't exist, and this whole thread has just been a practical joke - congratulations to the OP, you had us going there. and now that i noticed that, i realized something in addition: roses are not actually "modern", but in reality are very old and historical. when speaking of the rose, it might be prefaced by something like: "And now...introducting...the Queen!" a Queen is obviously not anything very modern either, so the whole premise, (or practical joke), of the discussion, is just a farce. There are newer hybrids, of course, just like there are newer hybrids of apples, but no one talks about "modern apples", or "modern wheat", or modern any other plant, because, simply, they are just not really "modern" at all, not like a modern automobile, or a telephone, or a washing machine, or an antibiotic or chemotherapy medicine,rose are, have been, and always will be highly historical, steeped in tradition and culture, and there never will be this alleged "modern rose forum", because that is very simply, a contradiction in terms, and cannot exist. Indeed, if we use the modern search engine "Google", and type in "modern rose forum" - guess what? - there does not even exist a "modern rose forum" anywhere. so before talking about a forum that doesn't exist anywhere, I suggest using "Google", and remember - Google is your friend. Cheers!!! all the best for the holidays and new years, Klinko....See Moretitian1 10b Sydney
