For past several decades the All American Rose Selection trials has been our national rosiness trial . The AARS brand name was proudly exhibit on tags and in catalogue next to the roses who empty the rightfield to receive it . But , like so many thing over the past few years the economy took its bell and as of last twelvemonth they ceased to be .
This will us without a true national trial that tested the same rose in gardens all over the United States . With AARS gone we were without a internal rosiness trial for the first time since the 1930s .
luckily some forward looking family decide to do something about it .
foregather the American Garden Rose Selections ™ ( AGRS ™ )
On June 1 2012 a symposium was hold in as the opening outcome for the 2012 Great Rosarians of the World ™ Lecture Series – East Coast ( GROW ™ ) in New York City . The finish of the symposium was to research new ways the American Rose Society ( ARS ) and the roseate industry could wreak together . Everyone realize as the roseate industry prospers so does the ARS and vice - versa . The discussion honed in on the idea of spring a programme to take the seat of the AARS Trials .
The resultant role was the idea to create a execute the would recognize roses that were easy to care for , disease resistant and worthy for different regions of the country . rose can be entered in all the trial gardens but if a blush wine is striking in say the Southeast , that will be noted as being a bully rose for that region . That takes the pressure off a rose having to succeed in very climate in our immense land . If a rose did well in all regions so much the better ! The formula and protocols are based on theGerman ADR Trials .
As of now the following garden have been build as trial gardens . There should be more to come .
