Description:
The Yellow Queen Elisabeth is a cluster-flowered floribunda bush rose. A lovely sport of its pink parent Queen Elizabeth with soft golden-yellow blooms which fade to primrose yellow, paler on the outer petals. It starts to flower in late spring/early summer and blooms in flushes throughout the season with medium to light yellow; double tea-shaped blooms with a hint of apricot. Flowers are big and slighlty fragrant. It is a good rose to be cut for vases and bouquets. It has been bred in Belgium in 1964 by Vlaeminck. The Yellow Queen Elisabeth rose grows to 90-120cm high, rarely up to 150cm, and can be grown as a specimen as well as in groups. It is hardy to zone 5 and therefore to be grown easily throughout Slovakia. It blooms on new wood and has to be pruned early in March to promote new growth. When doing so we only leave 2-4 buds on each stem while the last one has to face outward from the shrub. When pruning, we always leave only 3-4 main branches on the shrub. In case of 2-years old and older shrubs we cut out one of the old main branches completely to allow the shrub to regenerate each year.

Description:
The Quince is native to warm-temperate southwest Asia in the Caucasus region. It is a small deciduous tree, growing 5-8 m tall and 4-6 m wide. It is related to apples and pears, and like them has a pome fruit, which is bright golden yellow when mature, pear-shaped, 7-12 cm long and 6-9 cm broad. The fruit has hard flesh that is strongly perfumed. The leaves are simple, dark green, 6-11 cm long. The flowers, produced in spring after the leaves, are white or pink, 5 cm across, with five petals. The fruit was known already to the Akkadians more than 4000 years ago. The Latin genus name originates from Greek kydonion malon (Kydonian Apple) referring to ancient port of Kydonia, now Khania, in Crete, where the Greeks grafted from a superior strain. Cultivation of quince may have preceded apple culture. Among the ancient Greeks, the quince was a ritual offering at weddings, for it had come from the Levant with Aphrodite and remained sacred to her. It was a quince that Paris awarded Aphrodite. It was for a golden quince that Atalanta paused in her race. The Romans also used quinces; the Roman cookbook of Apicius gives recipes for stewing quince with honey. This interesting fruit can also be eaten cooked or raw. However, most varieties of quince are too hard, astringent and sour to eat raw unless 'bletted' (softened by frost and subsequent decay). Quince is an excellent source of vitamin C. It can be used to make jam, jelly and quince pudding, or it may be peeled, then roasted, baked or stewed. The very strong perfume means they can be added in small quantities to apple pies and jam to enhance the flavour. The term marmalade, originally meaning a quince jam, derives from the Portuguese word for this fruit marmelo. In Iran and other parts of the Middle East, the dried pips of the fruit are used to treat sore throat and to relieve cough. The pips are soaked in water; the viscous product is then drunk like cough medicine. It is commonly used for children, as it is alcohol free and 100% natural. In Europe, quinces are commonly grown in central and southern areas where the summers are sufficiently hot for the fruit to fully ripen. Used as a rootstock for grafted plants, quince has the property of dwarfing the growth of pears and of forcing them to produce more precociously. Quince is used in modern ornamental gardens as an interesting contribution to mixed shrub borders or as a specimen for example in lawn where it attracts attention all year round. In winter it displays its regular round shape with a symmetrical branch structure, in spring it offers a sight of pleasing large flowers and in autumn finally becomes a focal point due to its abundant and useful golden fruit.

Description:
Queen Elizabeth is shrub grandiflora rose growing to 1.5-2 metre tall and to 0.7-1 metre wide. From May to frost it produces large double pink flowers. It only has a slight fragrance and medium to dark green foliage. Its stems are moderately thorny. Can be trained as a standard or tree form and is suitable for hedging also. Queen Elisabeth rose is a cross of following parents: Charlotte Armstrong and Floradora. It has been hybridized by Mr. Lammerts in 1954 and won a golden medal at AARS in 1955. Queen Elizabeth is a tough plant, generally noted for having good disease resistance. It grows well as a specimen or in small groups in borders. Blooms on new wood and thefore should be pruned early to promote new growth.

Champion is a rounded, deciduous shrub or small tree with crowded branches bearing broadly ovate, dark green leaves, grey-downy beneath. Leaves are turning yellow in autumn. Fragrant flowers bloom from the leaf axils in spring. Their colour is white to pale pink. Flowers are followed by large, oblong, pale yellow-green fruit in autumn. Fruits have good aroma and flavour.
