ROSE CULTURE AND HISTORY
Dr. Malcolm Manners
 
Dr. Malcolm Manners joins us to talk about his work with Rose Mosaic Virus and the beautiful rose gardens and rose collections at Florida Southern College. We also chat about the history behind the roses.
 
After listening to this episode, it will be evident why in 2013 he was awarded the "Great Rosarian of the World" for his many years of work on rose mosaic virus disease and as an educator in the field of rose culture.
 
 
ROSE GARDENS OF FLORIDA SOUTHERN COLLEGE
 
Garden areas are marked in red...
 
For those of us wanting to visit the gardens, Dr. Manners has shared some tips on the best time to do so!
 
The first two weeks in April are the very best, with nearly the whole garden in bloom. Usually, late November is pretty good, especially for Teas.
 
From April through mid-February, we always have quite a lot of good blooms. 
 
Parking Notes: 
 
Visitors could park in any lot not specifically marked as reserved for faculty/staff/handicapped, but probably the best lot to try can be GPS mapped as 915 Frank Lloyd Wright Way, Lakeland. That's a fake address, which leads to the entrance to the parking lot.  If you use the college's official address (111 Lake Hollingsworth Drive), it will just take you along the lake, and there's nothing really there, certainly no good parking.
 
 
ABOUT DR. MALCOLM MANNERS...
 
Dr. Malcolm has been teaching at Florida Southern College since 1981 and specializes in fruit production, roses, and techniques of propagation of various crops.
 
Since 1996, he has participated in 14   U S A I D - funded Farmer to Farmer volunteer missions to developing countries. This program works to help alleviate extreme poverty through education on better crop production methods. Countries he's worked with Ethiopia, Egypt, India, Bangladesh, Nigeria, and many more.
 
Dr. Manners is also active in the preservation of heirloom genetic resources in roses and is a trustee of the Heritage Rose Foundation.
 
In 2013 he was awarded the  "Great Rosarian of the World" for his many years of work on rose mosaic virus disease and as an educator in the field of rose culture.

ROSES, THE ULTIMATE GARDEN PLANTMike Shoup
 
In this episode, Mike Shoup, author and creator of the Antique Rose Emporium, takes us on a creative journey with roses and gives us their history and the ways they complement every garden. 
 
 
 
ABOUT MIKE:
 
Mike Shoup has always had an interest in plants. With this in mind, he received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Biology from Trinity University and his Master’s degree in Horticulture from Texas A & M University. In 1976, a year after graduation he started Containerized Plants, Inc. which grew and sold woody plants and hardy, old-fashioned perennials, Texas natives and most importantly neglected Old Garden Roses.
 
THE ANTIQUE ROSE EMPORIUM…
In 1984 he opened the Antique Rose Emporium which specialized in the re-introduction and distribution of these historic roses. His work has been recognized in Smithsonian and National Geographic magazines and in many trade journals as well.
 
BOOKS…
He has written three books, Roses in the Southern Garden, published in 2000 and in 1991 published Landscaping with Antique Roses, co-authored with Liz Druitt and most recently in 2011, Empress of the Garden. (Find these book on Amazon here.)

Connie Hilker has been a life long gardener, digging in dirt and watching plants grow. She is also a history geek who loves nothing more than to read or listen to a true story from the past. Years ago she was given a copy of Thomas Christopher’s book “In Search of Lost Roses”.  It told the stories of rose historians and rustlers, who visited old homes and cemeteries, collecting stories and cuttings. She dreamed, at that time, that she might become one of them. And, she did. 
 
Connie works at Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Va, to manage the rose collection. Hollywood was designed in 1847 specifically to be a garden cemetery.
Garden cemeteries became popular starting in the mid-1800’s, as combination cemeteries, gardens, and public parks.
