WEBVTT 1 00:00:02.720 --> 00:00:06.719 Broadcasting from Studio A here at Proven Winners, Color Choice Shrubs. 2 00:00:06.960 --> 00:00:12.080 It's the Gardening Simplified Radio, YouTube and podcast show with 3 00:00:12.199 --> 00:00:16.000 Stacy Hervella, Me, Rick Weist, and our engineer and producer 4 00:00:16.320 --> 00:00:21.640 Adrianna Robinson. Well today, Stacy, let's talk about peach. And 5 00:00:21.800 --> 00:00:25.120 I'm a little bit fuzzy as far as peaches are concerned. 6 00:00:25.239 --> 00:00:26.839 Is that what you want to do the show? We 7 00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:30.480 just had that pun waiting, it's not come up on 8 00:00:30.519 --> 00:00:30.839 the show. 9 00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:33.679 Would I do something like that? 10 00:00:34.240 --> 00:00:35.960 I mean, if you had a pun burning a hole 11 00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:38.119 in your pocket, so to speak, I wouldn't put it 12 00:00:38.119 --> 00:00:39.240 past You're just saying. 13 00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:42.960 Thank you, very mulch. Well, the poor peach suffers from 14 00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:46.399 a bit of an identity crisis. You will see people 15 00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:51.840 calling it apricot, salmon, terra cotta, even light coral, all 16 00:00:51.880 --> 00:00:55.479 words that describe the same range of colors. I know 17 00:00:55.600 --> 00:00:59.759 from experience, for example, with tulips, many of them that 18 00:00:59.840 --> 00:01:03.240 are or what I would call peach are called apricot. 19 00:01:03.320 --> 00:01:05.799 And then you throw nectarine into the mix, and now 20 00:01:05.840 --> 00:01:10.040 well you have chaos. Think of the color peach and 21 00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:14.280 what pops into your head. If you remember the eighties, 22 00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:18.760 like me, it's probably things like bridesmaid dresses and loose 23 00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:22.879 fitting suits and jackets worn on the television show Miami Vice. 24 00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:28.000 But the color peach can be a garden problem solver. 25 00:01:28.519 --> 00:01:32.480 Peach is one of the freshest, most flexible colors you 26 00:01:32.519 --> 00:01:36.959 can incorporate into a garden design. So here's how I 27 00:01:37.000 --> 00:01:38.959 want you to think about it. I want you to 28 00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:43.879 think of peach as the tactful friend that keeps oversized 29 00:01:44.079 --> 00:01:47.439 garden personalities from acting out. 30 00:01:48.159 --> 00:01:52.920 Ooh, that's interesting. I'd like my oversized garden personalities to 31 00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:55.519 act up personally. And I don't have a lot of 32 00:01:55.519 --> 00:01:59.040 peach in my garden, but this is an and interesting approach. 33 00:01:59.079 --> 00:02:03.840 Well, think about it. Peach is in my mind, yellow 34 00:02:04.599 --> 00:02:10.400 and red and white blended together, and so the yellow 35 00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:14.039 and red kind of stand out, and then you throw 36 00:02:14.120 --> 00:02:17.240 in the white and you soften it, not really pastel, 37 00:02:18.039 --> 00:02:21.000 but just kind of make it fuzzy, and you've got 38 00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:23.400 the color peach, and it's ideal for the garden. 39 00:02:23.759 --> 00:02:26.240 I guess that's true. I don't have a lot of it, 40 00:02:27.039 --> 00:02:30.719 but I always do admire peach. Flowering pornias like GM 41 00:02:31.400 --> 00:02:33.919 always a really good one for some beautiful kind of 42 00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:35.520 peachy orange colors. 43 00:02:35.599 --> 00:02:39.039 I like that. Well, we'll give you some peach suggestions. 44 00:02:39.080 --> 00:02:39.159 Now. 45 00:02:39.199 --> 00:02:43.159 Of course, the Pantone color for twenty twenty four is 46 00:02:43.400 --> 00:02:47.039 Peach fuzz. So I looked it up Stacy, and according 47 00:02:47.120 --> 00:02:53.479 to the executive director there at Pantone Color Institute, she says, 48 00:02:53.919 --> 00:02:58.240 peach captures our desire to nurture ourselves and others. It's 49 00:02:58.360 --> 00:03:04.680 a velvety peach tone who's all embracing spirit, enriches mind, 50 00:03:04.800 --> 00:03:08.560 body and soul. In seeking a hue that echoes are 51 00:03:08.680 --> 00:03:13.599 innate yearning for closeness and connection. We chose a color 52 00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:17.919 radiant with warmth and modern elegance, a shade that resonates 53 00:03:17.960 --> 00:03:24.599 with compassion, offers a tactile embrace and effortless. Effortlessly bridges 54 00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:27.080 the youthful with the timeless. 55 00:03:27.719 --> 00:03:29.680 WHOA wow, All that from a color? 56 00:03:29.800 --> 00:03:33.919 All that from a color? The color peach. Well, it's 57 00:03:33.960 --> 00:03:36.960 a mix of orange, yellow and white. I misspoke myself, 58 00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:41.520 really not red yellow and white, but orange yellow and white. 59 00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:44.479 Well, there's red and orange. So I was thinking you're 60 00:03:44.520 --> 00:03:45.800 just doing the color wheel thing. 61 00:03:45.680 --> 00:03:49.240 That yeah, yeah, but a softness to it. So I 62 00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:53.000 just think that it's one of those ideal colors to 63 00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:56.759 add sweetness and goodwill and joy to your garden. 64 00:03:56.879 --> 00:03:58.680 So what do you have that's peach in your garden? 65 00:03:58.840 --> 00:04:00.080 Well doing all this heavy lift. 66 00:04:00.280 --> 00:04:04.800 One of my very favorite peach colored plants is a 67 00:04:04.919 --> 00:04:07.840 proven Winner's Color choice shrub and that is double take 68 00:04:07.879 --> 00:04:08.560 peach quints. 69 00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:10.159 Ooh, that is a lovely one. 70 00:04:10.280 --> 00:04:12.680 That is a stunning, stunning color. 71 00:04:12.800 --> 00:04:15.759 That is like the epitome of peach. Really in the garden. 72 00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:20.240 It is rainbow rhythm orange smoothie day lilies. They call 73 00:04:20.319 --> 00:04:22.879 them orange smoothie, but it doesn't look orange to me. 74 00:04:23.120 --> 00:04:25.439 And I have a question for you, Stacy. We have 75 00:04:25.680 --> 00:04:28.759 walked through the trial garden before. A plant that I 76 00:04:28.879 --> 00:04:32.720 love is at Last rose. I think it's one of 77 00:04:32.759 --> 00:04:36.199 the most incredible roses that you can grow in your landscape. 78 00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:40.000 My question for you would be what color do you 79 00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:42.879 consider it to be? Is it apricot, is it peach? 80 00:04:43.000 --> 00:04:44.240 Is it orange? What is it? 81 00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:47.480 I would consider it? We usually refer to it as 82 00:04:47.480 --> 00:04:51.720 more apricot, So in my eye, apricot is more orange 83 00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:54.360 than peach, or peach is a little bit like kind 84 00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:58.240 of lighter, has more white in it, and apricot has 85 00:04:58.279 --> 00:05:01.920 like a little bit more you know, bright orange to 86 00:05:02.000 --> 00:05:05.199 it not bright still, but like you know, just it's 87 00:05:05.319 --> 00:05:07.480 more orange and less white. 88 00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:09.360 So at last you would view as. 89 00:05:09.240 --> 00:05:12.199 Being a Yeah. When we were playing around with the 90 00:05:12.279 --> 00:05:14.680 names for that plant, we were working with a lot 91 00:05:14.720 --> 00:05:17.600 of variations on apricot. They just didn't make the final cut. 92 00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:21.399 Well, as it relates to the color peach in your landscape, 93 00:05:21.439 --> 00:05:24.199 I wrote a little limb a rick for you. Don't 94 00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:28.120 want something busy to make a scene so distracting. You'll 95 00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:31.920 need some drama meme. Try a color that isn't demanding, 96 00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:36.279 that will provide a soft landing and always looks peachy keen. 97 00:05:37.199 --> 00:05:40.360 Life isn't all peaches and cream, but isn't it fun? 98 00:05:40.600 --> 00:05:44.360 Just dream? Use soft color and fuzz. You'll be all 99 00:05:44.399 --> 00:05:49.079 the buzz and make a great Instagram meme. Oh boy, 100 00:05:49.519 --> 00:05:53.279 this color. It's not overreach to say it's just a peach. 101 00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:58.040 You may disagree, but opinions are free. I'll exercise my 102 00:05:58.360 --> 00:05:59.160 free speech. 103 00:05:59.519 --> 00:06:00.600 Oh nice, I like that. 104 00:06:00.839 --> 00:06:01.680 I like this color. 105 00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:04.519 I mean I do like it, I just don't I 106 00:06:04.519 --> 00:06:06.160 don't actually have it in my garden. But you know what, 107 00:06:06.720 --> 00:06:09.240 I don't have a lot of soft colors in my garden. 108 00:06:09.319 --> 00:06:13.959 I like bold color. That's my preference. But you know, 109 00:06:14.360 --> 00:06:16.399 as you were reading that, I was thinking of a 110 00:06:16.639 --> 00:06:19.839 plant that I actually really do love in peach is yarrow. 111 00:06:20.000 --> 00:06:22.839 A lot of the new cultivars of yarrow have that 112 00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:25.240 really beautiful kind of peachy color. 113 00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:30.519 You're right, there is a firefly peach sky yarrow, light 114 00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:35.000 peachy orange flowers that age to yellow, which is very neat. 115 00:06:35.720 --> 00:06:39.199 And then Stacey, Oh, a few weeks ago in an episode, 116 00:06:39.199 --> 00:06:44.800 you brought up a rose called Flavorret flavorette honey apricot rose. 117 00:06:44.959 --> 00:06:48.120 Yes, and that is so that one is kind of 118 00:06:48.160 --> 00:06:52.199 apricot colored. But the reason that Flavrete honey apricot rose 119 00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:56.600 is called that is because it actually was developed to 120 00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:03.120 have a taste reminiscent of apricots. And actually, ironically enough, 121 00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:06.199 if I had to characterize the color, I would say 122 00:07:06.199 --> 00:07:10.079 that flavor at honey apricot, despite its apricot flavor, is 123 00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:13.639 more peach colored than at last, which is more apricot colored. 124 00:07:13.680 --> 00:07:16.519 But if you're confused, we'll link everything in the show notes. 125 00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:18.360 You can sort it out. And you know, all of 126 00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:20.920 this is very subjective whenever it comes to color, and 127 00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:24.199 particularly when we are talking about colors based on the 128 00:07:24.240 --> 00:07:27.160 color of something else, whether that's orange or peach or apricot, 129 00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:30.480 all of which are things that have actual colors in 130 00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:33.079 the real world. So check out our show notes and 131 00:07:33.120 --> 00:07:36.279 you can tell us what you think is apricot, what 132 00:07:36.319 --> 00:07:38.319 you think is peach, and you go orange. 133 00:07:38.759 --> 00:07:43.240 A new proven Winn's Annual variety in twenty twenty four, 134 00:07:43.399 --> 00:07:46.519 which I think is really beautiful. It's a Caliber CoA 135 00:07:47.079 --> 00:07:51.600 super Bell's double Vintage coral that looks very peach to me. 136 00:07:51.839 --> 00:07:57.720 And then we've talked before about agistachi or hsup and 137 00:07:58.120 --> 00:07:58.800 meant to be. 138 00:07:59.120 --> 00:08:03.240 Queen neck to It's a beautiful plant that and it's peachy, 139 00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:04.240 Yes it is. 140 00:08:04.439 --> 00:08:10.360 It's peachy. And bogonias are fantastic for peach color. As 141 00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:12.560 a matter of fact, I have found through the years 142 00:08:12.600 --> 00:08:14.680 that if you want some really great peach color in 143 00:08:14.720 --> 00:08:18.439 your landscape, look to the bulbs, so to speak. Maybe 144 00:08:18.480 --> 00:08:21.600 they're not bulbs, maybe they're rhizomes or tubers. But when 145 00:08:21.600 --> 00:08:24.560 you look at bogonias, you look at tulips, you look 146 00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:29.240 at cannas, you look at gahlias and daffodils. Yes, the 147 00:08:29.279 --> 00:08:35.600 peach color is just amazing. There is a Selenia Apricot 148 00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:39.039 Bogonia hybrid. That's a new variety for twenty twenty four. 149 00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:43.120 Even kalladiums get into the act Heart to heart chinook 150 00:08:43.600 --> 00:08:46.480 And of course you can't. You can't do a show 151 00:08:46.519 --> 00:08:51.559 on peach without talking about super beina, peachy keen. Wow, 152 00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:52.840 that is an amazing that. 153 00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:56.360 Is Yeah, the archetype of peach colored flowers, I think, 154 00:08:56.639 --> 00:08:58.840 And you know there are also plants with kind of 155 00:08:58.879 --> 00:09:02.240 peach colored foliage. Yes, sometimes especially new growth can have 156 00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:05.879 a kind of orange. Sometimes you see this in our 157 00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:09.919 Midnight Wine or Midnight Sun Why Gila. You also see 158 00:09:09.919 --> 00:09:11.759 it a bit in our double Play Blue because you 159 00:09:11.879 --> 00:09:15.080 spyriea just on the brand new growth and in a 160 00:09:15.120 --> 00:09:18.600 plant that was featured in past plants on Trial Kodiak 161 00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:22.120 Orange Dravilla. So it is very orange, but as when 162 00:09:22.159 --> 00:09:24.159 the foliage, the new new growth starts to emerge, it 163 00:09:24.200 --> 00:09:26.320 can be have kind of a peachy tone to it. 164 00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:28.120 I love that and I'm glad you brought up the 165 00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:32.840 foliage element because some of the colis you will see 166 00:09:33.120 --> 00:09:36.600 peach color, like in the Sedona Sunset. 167 00:09:37.240 --> 00:09:38.440 Oh. I love that variety. 168 00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:41.559 That is fantastic. And then you know, when you're talking 169 00:09:41.559 --> 00:09:47.679 about foliage. Even some houseplants I've noticed agglinima or Chinese evergreen, 170 00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:52.919 some shades of peach in there, and even points set 171 00:09:52.960 --> 00:09:55.840 he is are getting into the act Christmas time. 172 00:09:55.759 --> 00:09:58.000 Right, Yes, for someone who wants a little twist on 173 00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:01.000 the classic red and they are very pretty. 174 00:10:01.399 --> 00:10:05.039 Yes. So it's all peachey, my friends. And that's the 175 00:10:05.080 --> 00:10:08.320 topic of today's show. We'll see how Stacey ties it 176 00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:12.440 in coming up next in Plants on Trial, you're listening 177 00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:15.559 and viewing the Gardening Simplified Show. 178 00:10:21.080 --> 00:10:24.240 Proven Winter's Color Choice Shrubs cares about your success in 179 00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:26.759 the garden. That's why we trial and test all of 180 00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:29.360 our shrubs for eight to ten years, making sure they 181 00:10:29.399 --> 00:10:32.080 outperform everything else on the market. Look for them and 182 00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:37.399 the distinctive white container at your local garden center. Greeting's 183 00:10:37.440 --> 00:10:40.799 gardening friends, and welcome back to the Gardening Simplified Show. 184 00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:43.440 The order of the day is peach. The color peach. 185 00:10:43.919 --> 00:10:45.759 And you know it is interesting is you're listing all 186 00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:48.600 the sort of permutations of peach that all of these 187 00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:52.399 colors over any other color I think are named after 188 00:10:52.440 --> 00:10:57.960 something else. So there's salmon, there's apricot, there's peach, there's orange. 189 00:10:58.039 --> 00:10:59.679 That doesn't happen with any other colors. 190 00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:03.240 No, it doesn't. And before coming to the studio today, 191 00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:05.799 I looked in my closet thinking maybe I'll wear a 192 00:11:05.799 --> 00:11:07.240 peach shirt. I don't have one. 193 00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:09.399 You know, I had the same thoughts, and I also 194 00:11:09.720 --> 00:11:11.120 do not have a peach shirt. But I thought it 195 00:11:11.159 --> 00:11:14.240 was interesting that you brought up the eighties fashion because 196 00:11:14.600 --> 00:11:17.039 I was in my aunt's wedding as a junior bridesmaid 197 00:11:17.120 --> 00:11:21.759 in the nineteen eighties and my bridesmaid dress was indeed peach. 198 00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:27.039 Everyone at the bridesmaids were all wearing peach, and the 199 00:11:27.120 --> 00:11:29.000 guys were wearing mint green. 200 00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:31.519 Oh yeah, peach and mint That was like the thing, 201 00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:32.440 that was the thing. 202 00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:35.080 I mean even appliances too. 203 00:11:37.080 --> 00:11:38.759 Now there's probably a lot of people out there who 204 00:11:38.759 --> 00:11:41.559 would love nothing more than some vintage eighties or mint 205 00:11:41.600 --> 00:11:45.399 green and peach appliances. It has truly come around. But 206 00:11:45.480 --> 00:11:50.200 this is about plants, not the nineteen eighties appliances. And 207 00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:52.039 you know, when it comes to plants on trial, of course, 208 00:11:52.039 --> 00:11:54.600 I had to pick a peach plant. And our absolute 209 00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:57.320 peachiest plant Rick has already mentioned, and that is double 210 00:11:57.360 --> 00:12:02.200 take peach flowering quints, which is a beautiful spring flowering shrub, 211 00:12:02.279 --> 00:12:05.440 But it just seemed, you know, unnatural to me to 212 00:12:05.559 --> 00:12:07.879 talk about a spring flowering shrub in the middle of 213 00:12:07.919 --> 00:12:10.559 August when there's so much else going on in the garden. 214 00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:13.000 You don't know, one wants to think about spring yet. 215 00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:17.080 They're getting ready for Halloween, and so I wanted to 216 00:12:17.080 --> 00:12:20.360 pick something that was a little bit more seasonal, and 217 00:12:20.840 --> 00:12:23.600 for me, the plant that I picked is Ringo All 218 00:12:23.639 --> 00:12:24.600 Star rose. 219 00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:25.559 It's a beauty. 220 00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:29.159 It is a beauty, and it's a very interesting rose. 221 00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:32.080 So I want to kind of talk about some of 222 00:12:32.080 --> 00:12:34.840 the things that make this rose so different, but first 223 00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:37.200 I want to kind of give you a picture of 224 00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:41.000 what it looks like. As the name Ringo may start 225 00:12:41.039 --> 00:12:46.840 to imply it is, it's characterized by this central ring 226 00:12:47.080 --> 00:12:50.960 in the flower and color changes. So there are actually 227 00:12:51.000 --> 00:12:54.639 four roses in the Ringo series. The original Ringo, which 228 00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:57.559 is yellow and red, Ringo All Star, which we're talking 229 00:12:57.559 --> 00:13:01.320 about today, Ringo Double Pink, which is a doubled version, 230 00:13:01.399 --> 00:13:04.000 and then there is Rise Up Ringo, which is a 231 00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:08.600 climbing version of the yellow Ringo, And all of these 232 00:13:08.679 --> 00:13:13.559 have a very distinctive red eye in the center and 233 00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:20.120 the petals actually change color as the flower matures and ages, 234 00:13:20.159 --> 00:13:24.200 so you're actually getting a number of different colors on 235 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:27.240 any of these plants at any given time. And rinku 236 00:13:27.279 --> 00:13:29.120 all Star, as you might have guessed, is the closest 237 00:13:29.120 --> 00:13:33.360 to peach. So when the flower opens, the outer petals 238 00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:36.519 are kind of like a deep pinky orange shading to 239 00:13:36.799 --> 00:13:40.120 peach in the center and then that bright red ring. 240 00:13:40.559 --> 00:13:43.480 But then as that bloom ages, what happens is that 241 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:47.240 orange pink goes to pink, the peach goes to what 242 00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:50.840 I would probably describe as a more accurate because you know, 243 00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:53.000 peaches themselves are kind of actually a little bit yellow, 244 00:13:53.080 --> 00:13:54.759 especially if you have like a yellow peach. You know, 245 00:13:54.759 --> 00:13:57.399 there's the white peaches those are more peach than the 246 00:13:57.519 --> 00:14:00.200 yellow peaches, which are yellow and peach. Wow, this is 247 00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:03.200 getting confusing, So true peach with a little bit of 248 00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:05.600 yellow there in the center as it ages, and then 249 00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:09.000 that red ring takes on some pink and then has 250 00:14:09.120 --> 00:14:11.480 this plant which does not need dead heading to flower. 251 00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:15.039 All summer goes on in blooms, You're getting all these 252 00:14:15.039 --> 00:14:18.360 flowers at all these different stages at once, and it 253 00:14:18.480 --> 00:14:22.559 really makes for a very interesting and dynamic show where 254 00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:25.759 you're going to get a lot of different colors at once, 255 00:14:25.919 --> 00:14:27.519 and that's a lot more interesting then, you know. 256 00:14:27.679 --> 00:14:30.879 Yeah, that's really neat. And I'm reading my notes here 257 00:14:30.919 --> 00:14:33.639 because this is not something I know. But you talk 258 00:14:33.679 --> 00:14:37.840 about a parentage being Haltemia haultemia. 259 00:14:37.960 --> 00:14:40.039 Yeah, so ulmia. 260 00:14:40.240 --> 00:14:45.320 That sounds like somebody who wrestles in the World Wrestling Federation, you. 261 00:14:45.399 --> 00:14:47.399 Know what, It would be a good name for a 262 00:14:47.480 --> 00:14:50.279 professional wrestler, and you are about to find out why. 263 00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:55.080 So so this plant the Ringo series and other series 264 00:14:55.159 --> 00:14:57.120 that you might see out there that look similar with 265 00:14:57.159 --> 00:15:02.080 this very distinctive central ring are from are developed from 266 00:15:02.159 --> 00:15:06.679 a rose known as Rosa persica, and that was originally 267 00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:09.679 known as Holtemia. So that's h U l T h 268 00:15:09.840 --> 00:15:14.440 E m i a Holtemia, and it is a true rose, 269 00:15:14.799 --> 00:15:17.279 but it used to be classified in its own genus 270 00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:23.200 of Holtemia, and Holtemia or Rosa persica is actually a 271 00:15:24.759 --> 00:15:28.360 desert rose, a native to Persia, native to Persia, as 272 00:15:28.399 --> 00:15:30.440 you might have guessed from the persica there in the 273 00:15:30.639 --> 00:15:36.519 name Prunas persica. Oh my gosh, synchronicity. Prunas persica is 274 00:15:36.639 --> 00:15:40.720 the scientific name for peach, so it's all coming together. 275 00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:44.039 How it comes together, even on the fly, operating by 276 00:15:44.080 --> 00:15:45.960 the seat of our plants. Don't try this. 277 00:15:46.120 --> 00:15:49.799 At home exactly. So this is a plant that is 278 00:15:49.919 --> 00:15:54.600 native to very dry desert areas of Iran and Iraq 279 00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:57.399 and other areas around the Middle East, and if you 280 00:15:57.480 --> 00:16:00.480 were to see Rosa persica or Holtemia in bloom in 281 00:16:00.559 --> 00:16:04.360 those areas, you probably would not think that it is 282 00:16:04.440 --> 00:16:06.559 a rose in any way, shape or form, even though 283 00:16:06.600 --> 00:16:09.960 the flower itself does resemble a rose, and it actually 284 00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:12.360 looks quite a bit like ringo, just a little bit 285 00:16:12.399 --> 00:16:15.080 more wild. The yellow is much more deep, and the 286 00:16:15.279 --> 00:16:18.559 red in the center is very very intense. The plant 287 00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:24.360 itself is actually kind of a sprawling, weedy subshrub, and 288 00:16:24.840 --> 00:16:29.279 the foliage is blue, so it's this beautiful, unique blue 289 00:16:29.360 --> 00:16:35.679 color spiny. The stems and leaves are quite spiny, with 290 00:16:35.759 --> 00:16:37.720 almost like a fish hook spine that kind of curves 291 00:16:37.799 --> 00:16:40.879 back in on itself, and then the buds are absolutely 292 00:16:40.960 --> 00:16:42.919 covered in spines, so like a little bit like a 293 00:16:43.240 --> 00:16:45.440 beech rose Rosa ragosa if you're familiar with that, but 294 00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:48.159 the spines are probably like an inch long. So this 295 00:16:48.320 --> 00:16:51.679 thing is saying to predators stay the heck away. It's 296 00:16:51.720 --> 00:16:54.159 growing in the desert with a long taproot. Now this 297 00:16:54.279 --> 00:16:56.519 is straight species, minds you. Not the ringo are the 298 00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:58.120 ones that we're going to be growing in our gardens. 299 00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:03.159 Like I said, it is typically a weed that grows 300 00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:06.400 on the edges of fields, and I was reading that 301 00:17:06.599 --> 00:17:10.559 after farmers harvest their fields of whatever crap they were growing, 302 00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:14.839 they will then harvest any Rosa persica or Holtemia growing 303 00:17:14.960 --> 00:17:17.359 on the outskirts and they use that for fuel because 304 00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:19.440 roses are actually very high in oil, and so they 305 00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:21.839 will actually use the fruits that are formed by the 306 00:17:21.960 --> 00:17:24.799 end of the season to make oil and use that 307 00:17:25.440 --> 00:17:28.519 for a fuel. So we'll put a picture of Holtemia 308 00:17:28.599 --> 00:17:30.720 or Rosa persica in the show notes as well as 309 00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:32.960 in the YouTube version if you are interested in that, 310 00:17:33.960 --> 00:17:36.319 and you'll see the similarities at least in the flower. 311 00:17:36.359 --> 00:17:38.000 But then you'll see that foliage you'll be like, whoa, 312 00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:40.599 these are not similar at all? What's going on? Well? Fortunately, 313 00:17:41.279 --> 00:17:44.680 Rosa persica is also very amenable to plant breeding, so 314 00:17:44.759 --> 00:17:48.440 it was able to cross very readily with other roses, 315 00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:51.319 and that's not always the case even closely related plants 316 00:17:51.359 --> 00:17:54.319 like this. In the same botanical genus might not cross 317 00:17:54.400 --> 00:17:57.880 well because of their chromosome counts. Well, Fortunately, Rosa persica 318 00:17:57.960 --> 00:18:00.240 is one of those that's just like you know me, 319 00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:03.079 with whatever, I will make a new plan and we 320 00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:08.000 will resolve each other's liabilities and make something even better. 321 00:18:08.039 --> 00:18:10.440 And that's what happened with Ringos. So the person who 322 00:18:10.519 --> 00:18:13.839 did the hybridizing of the Ringo series, he is a 323 00:18:13.880 --> 00:18:17.279 brilliant rose breeder named Chris Warner in the UK. He 324 00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:21.920 has probably been responsible for around eighty percent of the 325 00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:25.279 roses in the Proven Winner's brand, So if you have 326 00:18:25.359 --> 00:18:27.559 a Proven Winner's rose, there's a very likely chance that 327 00:18:27.640 --> 00:18:29.759 it was developed by Chris Warner. Chris developed all of 328 00:18:29.839 --> 00:18:33.079 the Ringos series and he is just a lifelong rose 329 00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:37.880 breeder who is just absolutely devoted to roses and to 330 00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:42.039 making roses more disease resistant and more beautiful so more 331 00:18:42.079 --> 00:18:43.880 people can enjoy them. He's really one of those kind 332 00:18:43.920 --> 00:18:47.119 of breeders who just wants to share his passion and 333 00:18:47.319 --> 00:18:49.400 he knows that to do that, not everyone is going 334 00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:52.279 to devote the time and energy that they need to 335 00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:55.279 have really great looking roses. So he's like, I love roses, 336 00:18:55.359 --> 00:18:56.799 I'm just going to make them easier to grow and 337 00:18:56.839 --> 00:18:58.680 then no one has an excuse not. 338 00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:02.799 To grow, and he did that with Rise Up Lilac days. 339 00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:05.599 Yes, so he is a breeder of Rise Up Lilac Dace, 340 00:19:05.880 --> 00:19:08.799 which is Adriana's favorite rose, and in fact, I would 341 00:19:08.839 --> 00:19:13.480 say it's probably pretty much anyone who sees its favorite rose. 342 00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:17.519 It is so beautiful and so fragrant. You can actually 343 00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:19.759 see it in our rose video which is available on 344 00:19:19.960 --> 00:19:23.160 our YouTube channel. But all of this talk about the 345 00:19:23.240 --> 00:19:28.480 parentage of this, of Ringo all Star rows being from 346 00:19:28.519 --> 00:19:31.640 the desert the one of the parents, it really says 347 00:19:31.720 --> 00:19:36.880 a lot about how heat tolerant roses can actually be. Now, 348 00:19:36.960 --> 00:19:40.039 this is hardy down to USDA Zone four, heat tolerant 349 00:19:40.079 --> 00:19:43.880 through about USDA Zone eight, and because it does have 350 00:19:44.000 --> 00:19:47.920 that desert parentage, it is not a huge fan of humidity. 351 00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:50.839 So if you are in like a Mediterranean zone eight 352 00:19:50.960 --> 00:19:54.279 or nine, southern California something like that, you'll probably actually 353 00:19:54.319 --> 00:19:56.599 have much better luck with us than someone who is 354 00:19:56.720 --> 00:19:59.240 in a human zone eight like in Georgia or Florida. 355 00:19:59.640 --> 00:20:04.599 It's really not going to appreciate being grown in humid conditions, 356 00:20:04.599 --> 00:20:05.880 So if you are trying to grow it, if you 357 00:20:05.920 --> 00:20:08.359 love this planet. It's easy to love it's so beautiful, 358 00:20:09.359 --> 00:20:11.640 and you live in a hot, humid climate. I would 359 00:20:11.680 --> 00:20:13.720 say this is one rose you are going to want 360 00:20:13.799 --> 00:20:16.680 to definitely pay attention to the spacing on. It's going 361 00:20:16.720 --> 00:20:18.559 to be about two to three feet tall and three 362 00:20:18.640 --> 00:20:21.720 feet wide, so make sure you respect that and give 363 00:20:21.759 --> 00:20:24.279 it a good one and a half to two feet 364 00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:28.240 on all sides. By giving it really really good air circulation, 365 00:20:28.720 --> 00:20:30.839 you can help to reduce some of that disease pressure 366 00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:35.279 that might occur since this is not a humidity loving rose, 367 00:20:35.319 --> 00:20:37.960 and of course fungal leaf spots do love humidity.
