explanations for judging

 

remarks:

 

winterhardiness: (5 points) 1 assessing, before bud burst*)

all plants are dead (0 points)

shoots are damaged (1-4 points)

frost damage weak or absent (5 points)

leaves: (only test station  Rethmar)

shoot: green, bronce, bronce to -red-brown, red-brown, red brown to purple, purple

colour fully developed: dark-green, medium green, light gren

glossiness: strong, medium, weak, missing

size: large, medium, small  

 

vigour: (5 points) 2 records, in the middle of 1. and 2. flor*)

leaves: (30 points, 6 records during growth period ) *) beauty,  quantity, stability, harmony with flower colour, iespecially resisance against leaf diseases
presentation of flower bud and flower: (10 points, 2 records during the peak of 1. and 2. flore)*)

evaluation in relation to varieties of the same rose group, same bud group or same flower group. Shape of flower of single flowering varieties can be evaluated too.

 

quantity of flowering and duration of flowering: (10 points, 6 records)*)  evaluation of flowering from begin of flowering to first frost, t (continous flowering, reduved flowering or pauses between mains flors) zwischen den Hauptflors).
filling of flower: (Number of petals,  Rethmar test garden only)

single (5-7); semi double(8-20);  double(20-35);  strong double (< 35)

 

colour beginnig to end of flowering: (10 points, 2 records at peaks of 1. und 2. flor *)  

clear with leaf colour harmonising colour; fading, changig in blueish colour,  burned magins or spots are causing   deduction of points.

 

flower bud/ flower budcolour: (test garden Retmar only)

bud closed:__________________

bud semi opened:_____________________

flower fully opened:______________________

flower at end of flowering:____________________

 

fragance: (5 points,  6 records at times of day and at different weather conditions)*);

points for intensity of fragance:

0 points  = absent   2 Punkte  =     

1 Punkt    = weak/plenty  3 Punkte  = intensiv

4 Punkte  = very intensiv

5 Punkte   = outstanding

 

special characteristics/remarks: selfcleaning ability (petal fall, fall of flower after end of flowering): (5 points, 6 records); summerized evaluation  of value of the tested variety in comparison with other varieties of the same rose group *)
novelty: (5 additional points; 1 record) at the end of test years *)
*) lowest state: '0'; no figure is correct when is it not possible to record a characteristic because the characteristic is not expressed,a "0" is includes in the calculation of the average
