BILTMORE PRESS RELEASE
An apricot-colored princess has captured the top prize at the recent finals of the 2018 Biltmore International Rose Trials. 
Princesse Charlene De Monaco (Meidysouk), a hybrid tea rose bred by House of Meilland in France, and distributed by Star Roses & Plants, took home the George and Edith Vanderbilt for Most Outstanding Rose of the trials.
The winning rose was among a collection of roses planted for trials in 2016 in the western border of Biltmore’s historic Rose Garden. Since 2011, Biltmore’s Rose Garden has been home to the trials in which nearly 200 varieties from growers and breeders worldwide have been planted and cared for by Biltmore’s expert horticulturalists. A permanent jury of rose experts judged the plantings four times a year during the trial’s two years.
In addition to winning the Best in Show Award, Princesse Charlene De Monaco won the Cornelia Vanderbilt Cecil Award for Most Fragrant Rose, and the Pauline Merrell Award for Best Hybrid Tea.
Additional winners this year were:
Oso Easy Urban Legend (R. ‘ChewPatout’), bred by Chris Warner of Spring Meadow Nursery, winner of the Lord Burleigh Award for Best Disease Resistant, and the Chauncey Beadle Award for Best Shrub Rose.
Highwire Flyer (Radwire), bred by William Radler of Star Roses and Plants, winner of the Gilded Age Award for Climbing Rose, and the William Cecil Award for Best Growth Habit.
Shining Moment (Radshining), bred by William Radler of Star Roses and Plants, winner of the Edith Wharton Award for Best Floribunda.
Roses competing for this year’s titles came from breeders based in the U.S., France, Great Britain, and Germany. Trials of this type are open to rose breeders around the world – from professional to beginner. Competing roses are evaluated for overall health and rigor; fragrance; disease resistance; and the ability to repeat bloom.

Earth Kind Rose Trials | Helena Alabama | Brian Puckett

A new generation of rose gardeners are emerging on the scene and Brian Puckett is definitely making his mark in the world of roses. As curator of the nation’s first municipal Earth-Kind Rose trial, Brian has a passion for sustainable gardening and for helping others achieve gardening success. 
He put his design and planning efforts to good use as Vice Chairman of the Helena Alabama Beautification Board where he helped transform the cities landscape into a veritable paradise of plants using native perennials and Earth Kind Roses. These efforts have caught the attention of other municipalities who are now reaching out for advice and guidance as they transition into the world of sustainable landscape design. Last year, Brian collaborated with Texas A & M to launch the nation’s first municipal Earth-Kind Rose Trial and currently serves as the trial curator. Next month, he hit's the road with rose chat creator and America's Favorite Rose Gardener, Chris VanCleave on the "Rose Kings Sustainability Tour". “Innovations in rose breeding have now produced roses that are virtually disease free and they bloom like mad”, says Puckett. During the tour, we’ll reveal the various types of roses, their growth habits as well as the level of care they need so people can make informed decisions for their gardens.”
Brian joins us today to talk about the rose trial, about sustainable gardening and a whole lot more!

"Gabriel"
My journey to the American Rose Society Fall National Convention was an eventful one. I made the trip from Birmingham to Gettysburg alone. It was quite an adventure. I saw some beautiful scenery and along the way stopped at Nancy Redington's house. Nancy is the Penn-Jersey District Director of the American Rose Society and was national chairperson for this years convention. Her house, affectionaetly known as "the box on the rocks" is a gathering place for fellow rosarians who traveled to the convention. During my visit, I sat down with some of the "who's who" in the world of roses. Our friends Craig Dorschel, Don and Mary Myers as well as Andy Vanable were all gathered around Nancy's kitchen table drinking coffee. We chatted about how we came into the organization and why we've stayed. Afterwards, Nancy and I walked through her beautiful garden and had a great chat. It was a trip I'll never forget and I think you'll really enjoy this broadcast. --- Chris VanCleave, Creator Rose Chat podcast.
