Rosa American Pillar. Rose American Pillar Rambling Rose

Rosa American Pillar. Rose American Pillar Rambling Rose

Rosa American Pillar Rambling RoseThe Rosa American Pillar is far more hardy than most rambling rose bushes. It grows to a height of 300 to 600 centimeters. Also called the Rose American Pillar this Rambling Rose is an excellent climber for garden structures, fences, arbors, pergolas or walls. It features long, arching branches that boast a bevy pink and white flowers. The rambler rose cultivar bears a striking resemblance to wild rose bushes.The blooms of the Rambling Rose are singular and feature bright pink petals with a white core. Each rose blossom measures about 5.5 centimeters across. The brightly coloured flowers appear in clusters along the arching canes of the rose bush. Unfortunately, unlike other rose bushes such as Aloha, the blossoms of the Rosa American Pillar boast no fragrance, but the rambler’s distinct beauty makes up for its lack of heady perfume. The rambler produces flowers virtually non-stop from spring until autumn. Following flowering, Rose American Pillar develops bright red hips that bear a striking resemblance to cherries. The hips are a favourite foods source for birds and woodland creatures. They provide visual interest, especially during the autumn months. The Rose American Pillar grows and flowers best when planted in full sun. It can tolerate shade but requires at least six hours of sun per day to develop properly. A shady location will also diminish flower production and can make the rambler take on a lanky appearance. Also, the lack of sunlight can promote powdery mildew. For best growth, choose a planting location that is well-draining and rich in organic matter. Keep the soil evenly moist to encourage the rambler to develop a strong root system. Once established, it can withstand periods of short drought. To promote flowering, fertilize the Rose American Pillar in the spring and fall using a general purpose fertilizer or rose-specific fertilizer. Follow the directions on the fertilizer’s label for application ratios. Rosa American Pillar can be pruned in the late summer for regular maintenance. If you want to severely trim back the rambler then you should wait until late autumn or early winter. Dr. Van Fleet developed the Rose American Pillar cultivar in 1907 and since its early inception, this variety of rambling rose has become a popular addition to many gardens around the world. Its vigorous growth, reliability, and hardy nature make it virtually care free. If you are seeking a profuse rambler that puts on a non-stop flower display all season than the Rambling Rose might be the perfect addition to your garden. Plant it in a location where its sheer size and breathtaking beauty can truly be appreciated.

Corylus Maxima Purpurea. Purple-leaved Filbert. Purple Leaf

Corylus Maxima Purpurea. Purple-leaved Filbert. Purple Leaf

Corylus Avellana Maxima Purpurea or Purple-leaved FilbertA near relative of the common hazelnut (corylus), Purple-leaved Filbert (Latin name Corylus Maxima Purpurea), is a large deciduous shrub with spectacular purple foliage. Robust and hardy, this tree-like shrub with edible nuts is a great choice for a statement plant or mixed shrub borders.In the spring, before the leaves unfold, pendulous, blush pink catkins appear on the shrub, gracing the naked twigs. Soon after, the foliage develops. The large, heart-shaped, deep purple leaves are late to drop, staying on the branches well into the early winter months. The edible nuts that follow, called cobnuts or filberts, are very similar to cultivated hazelnuts. Although the husk of the nuts is elongated and purple-tinged, the taste is the same. Cobnuts are usually harvested in late summer, hence the name - they were traditionally brought to church for the celebration of St. Philibert's Day, which is on August 20th. Native to southeastern Europe, Corylus Maxima Purpurea can withstand temperatures well below -20 degrees, and isn’t bothered by strong, cold winds. Fully hardy in the UK, Purple-leaved Filbert is remarkably robust and resistant to frost. Easy to care for, this ornamental shrub isn’t fussy when it comes to location. It can thrive in most soils, including chalk, sand and loam, and it won’t mind being in partial shade. However, it’s best to plant Purple-leaved Filbert in full sun, to ensure that the purple shade of the foliage remains vivid and vibrant.The Purpurea variety of Corylus is a large, tree-like shrub, and it will need space to develop fully. Although not vigorous, it can grow to be 4 to 8 metres tall and 2.5 to 4 metres wide. Low-maintenance and of good constitution, this deciduous shrub won’t need regular pruning, just routine removal of dead and damaged branches. If you want to encourage the production of nuts, train Purple Leaf Filbert as a goblet-shaped shrub.Although prized for its crop, Purple-leaved Filbert is mostly grown for its stunning, dark purple foliage. The plum coloured leaves add a touch of drama to the garden, especially when contrasted with evergreen shrubs. The multiple seasons of interests, as well as its attractive features, make Purple-leaved Filbert an excellent choice for a statement plant. Since it’s not bothered by strong winds and frost, it’s often planted as a windbreak, or in mixed shrub borders for coastal gardens.

In spring, clusters of 5-petalled scented white flowers appear, followed by small, elliptical green leaves which put on a brilliant show in the autumn when they turn vibrant shades of red, orange and yellow, earning it the name Rainbow Pillar, with Pillar being a reference to the tall slim growth habit. The dark purple fruits which develop in late summer can be used to make jams and pies.Fully hardy in all parts of the UK, deciduous Amelanchier Canadensis Rainbow Pillar will grow to a mature height of 4 metres and spread of 2.5 metres in 20 years.

While it prefers a slightly acidic pH, it will do well in neutral soil also. Tolerant of salt, it is a good selection for coastal gardens, and is also somewhat tolerant of urban pollution, so will do well in a city garden. Deer are not attracted to Amelanchier Canadensis Rainbow Pillar, and it suffers from few diseases or pests, making it a good choice for almost any garden situation.The small size and attractive columnar habit of the Columnar Snowy Mespilus Tree makes it an appropriate planting for a container on a roof terrace or patio, where its spring flowers and autumn foliage colour will bring a long season of beauty- and the berries will attract birds to your garden! In a mixed border, a specimen Amelanchier Canadensis Rainbow Pillar will be an excellent complement to seasonal flowers. These trees also do well in a woodland garden or along a stream.Whether planted as a single specimen in a small garden, or in a grouping in a larger landscape, the Columnar Snowy Mespilus Tree has much to recommend it.

Willows, whether large trees or shrubs, are famous for their ease of care and reliability. The diminutive Swiss Willow is no exception. It is exceptionally hardy and will grow not only at high altitudes but also in wet low-lying terrain. In its native habitat in the Swiss Alps, the shrub is well-known for being a survivor that can tolerate even the harshest weather conditions. The leaves of the Swiss Willow are ovate to lanceolate in shape. The leaf boasts a greyish hue on the top side while the underside is silverish. The leaves are covered in a fine, furry covering that provides them with protection from the effects of harsh sunlight.

It even survives in coastal areas and sandy locations where other shrubs often fail to thrive. The Salix Helvetica grows in a rounded, compact form that rarely requires any trimming. After flowering, it can be trimmed a slight bit to maintain its form or size. However, it is unnecessary to trim the shrub if you do not need to and you are happy with its overall appearanceThe versatility and steadfastness of this tough little shrub won it the coveted Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit (AGM). It is a valued addition to any garden or landscape. Once established, it will live and thrive for years with little or no care. The shrub's small size lets it fit into any style of landscape.
