Henry Kelsey, "secret" traveler

The British Hudson's Bay Company, set up in 1670 to exploit Canada's natural resources, was forced to use the services of French fur traders for a long time. Henry Kelsey became the first "with his own" company sales agent who ventured on a long journey through the interior of Canada. He joined the company in 1684 at the age of 17. Kelsey was literally fascinated by the life of the Indians, constantly looking for their society, hunting and traveling with them. Very soon he learned Cree and possibly Assiniboine. In 1688–1690 Kelsey, together with his Indian friend, made several long trips to the lands lying north of the Churchill River. In the summer of 1689, during one of his travels, he was the first European to see and describe a musk ox (musk ox). The leadership of the Hudson's Bay Company sought to establish relations with the Indians who lived in the interior of the North American continent. This would expand the company's trade and at the same time strengthen the British presence in Canada; there would be no need to fear that all this richest country would fall into the hands of the French. And in June 169 0, Kelsey, on behalf of the company, departed from the trading post of York, located at the mouth of the Hayes River, to the distant country of the Assiniboins, located in the very center of the mainland, southwest of Hudson Bay. He was to establish strong contacts with the Indian tribes and introduce them to trade with the Hudson's Bay Company. Together with a group of Assiniboins, Kelsey went first to the south, went up in canoes along the Hayes River to 55? With. sh. and from there, following west and southwest along swift rapids, "through thirty-three ferries and five lakes," he reached the northern shore of Lake Winnipeg. In July, he went to the Saskatchewan River. Kelsey spent two years in this country. He established good relations with the local Indians, persuaded them to go to Hudson Bay every year.

In the autumn of 1690, Kelsey joined the assiniboins who went hunting on the prairies southwest of Saskatchewan, and was the first European to see and describe the Canadian prairies. Kelsey was literally shocked to see the endless plain, where "there is nothing but animals and grass." He saw herds of large black "buffaloes" (Canadian bison) and huge bears (grizzlies) here. After wintering with the Assiniboins, Kelsey traveled further west in July 1691 to “discover and engage in trade” distant Indian tribes. By his own calculations, he walked about 1,000 kilometers this summer, mostly on foot. Wintering again in Assiniboine country, Kelsey returned to Hudson Bay in the summer of 1692, accompanied by a large group of Indians from different tribes who expressed a desire to establish trade relations with Europeans. Kelsey served with the Hudson's Bay Company for another 40 years. The information he collected about the deep regions of Canada was regarded as an important trade secret. For a long time, nothing was known about his deeds until a journal of his travels was discovered at the beginning of the 20th century.

Every garden owner wants to be able to admire beautiful views and vibrant flower beds. Not only the duration of flowering is valued in the design, but also the stable decorative effect of the plant throughout the season. Therefore, when planning flower beds and mixborders, it is impossible to do without roses. Moreover, it is desirable to use roses that are resistant to diseases and do not require special shelter for the winter.

Who among us will refuse to admire blooming roses all summer long and not fool around in the fall with their shelter and bending down, and in the spring with opening? Perhaps many experienced rose growers will say that such a luxury is from the realm of fantasy. But it's not fantasy, it's canadian roses. If you are a beginner or a very busy rose grower, I highly recommend trying roses. Canadian selection. Their unpretentiousness is worthy of respect. And yet, these are no ordinary thorns. Many varieties have terry and semi-double flower shapes, and in some varieties the flowers resemble classic flowers in shape. hybrid tea roses. The colors of the flowers are also varied. Now among them there are enough varieties not only with red flowers, but also with white, salmon, pink. In addition, all Canadians bloom profusely and continuously throughout the season until frost.

AT last years climbing roses appeared among Canadian roses JOhnCabot» ("John Cabot"), " Henry Kelsey("Henry Kelsey"). Having a beautiful climbing rose that does not require removal from support and shelter is the dream of any gardener.

Henry Kelsey

Also, the dignity of roses of Canadian selection can be attributed to their stable decorative effect: a beautiful balanced shape of the bush, healthy green foliage covering the bush from top to bottom. In addition, they are distinguished by high frost resistance (from -30 0 C to -45 0 C) and resistance to rose diseases - black spot and powdery mildew. They are not too demanding on light and can show lush flowering in partial shade and even in the shade. In addition, Canadians are easily propagated by cuttings. If your dream is a blooming hedge of roses, then it is Canadian roses that will allow you to easily and extra costs bring it to life.

Except Canadian landscape roses English roses from David Austin Roses are currently widely represented on our market. English breeder David Austin(David Austin) in the 70s brought out amazing varieties that have the charm and smell of old roses, but unlike them, bloom continuously all season and are more resistant to disease. This group of roses has a lot of advantages: flowers amazing in shape and color and, of course, the smell. These roses are for those who love scents. I will list the main aromas: fruity, citrus, kiwi, apple, antique, pink, musk, honey, almond. Sounds like music! Among English roses there are also those that can be grown on supports, like climbing ones.

Pay attention to the variety Mary Rose”, in England it is considered one of the most widely distributed roses.

All Austin roses are suitable for use not only in rose gardens, but also in mixborders, as they have a beautiful leaf mass that covers the bush from the ground itself. For the same reason, they can be used as tapeworms. At the same time, roses are characterized by resistance to diseases and good frost resistance. The firm "David Austin Roses" tests its roses for frost resistance in Canadian parks, the most resistant varieties of roses (41 in total) are imported to Russia.

Now the flower market is diverse and presents a lot of beautiful roses various manufacturers. Every gardener must make his own choice. I think that other companies sell roses not for beginners. They are more demanding to care and capricious. I advise you to start with those that I have listed, and then you will figure it out yourself.

Welcome to the ranks of rose growers!

What flower grower doesn't love roses? Everyone is ready to enjoy the lush flowering of these amazing flowers. However, many are scared off by the complexity of care, which requires significant labor and time throughout the season, which you must devote to these capricious beauties.

In recent years on Russian market roses of Canadian selection appeared. Many would say, just decorative rose hips. And this is not far from the truth. But if you don't have much time for gardening or weather for roses in your area are extreme, then you will be able to appreciate the merits unpretentious roses Canadian selection.
Firstly, Canadian roses are highly frost-resistant, which is very important for growing in central Russia without additional shelter, but on condition that they are completely covered with snow. I’ll make a reservation right away that I cover my Canadians, since they grow in my rose garden next to those roses that need shelter.
Secondly, sellers and firms in their catalogs guarantee that Canadian roses are characterized by high resistance to diseases - black spot and powdery mildew, which is also an important factor in the decorativeness of plantings. However, not all varieties showed such resistance in my area.
In addition, many Canadian varieties have a double and semi-double flower shape with red, pink, white and even salmon color and bloom profusely and for a long time throughout the season, right up to the frost. A pleasant smell and the ability to bloom profusely even in partial shade, you see, also speak in favor of Canadians. Especially if you are not a fan perfect form at rose flowers.

A bit of history

First, let's take a short digression into history. Canadian roses appeared in 1886 through complex interspecific hybridization. Sectionalist William Sanders received the first park roses that withstand frost down to -25-30 ° C. Then work in this area was continued by Isabella Preston, who in the first half of the 20th century brought out 20 varieties of frost-resistant roses and began their industrial cultivation.
The basis for selection was taken from native Canadian prairie roses, and the main factor for the selection of varieties was the condition that, in addition to decorativeness, plants could endure long, dry, cold winters with unpredictable temperature changes that are characteristic of western Canada.
Now these roses represent a group of Canadian park roses, which includes varieties ‘ Adelaide', 'Cuthbert Grant', 'Hope for Humanity', 'Morden Amorette', 'Morden Blush', 'Morden Cardinette', 'Morden Centennial', 'Morden Fireglow', 'Morden Ruby', 'Morden Snowbeauty', 'Morden Sunrise', 'Prairie Joy', 'Winnipeg Parks' .
For a group of varieties with keyword"Morden" in the name is characterized by densely double flowers with a diameter of 6-8 cm, located on erect, low bushes not exceeding 1 m.
In the 1960s, Dr. Felicita Sveiza undertook to experiment with rugosa roses and German Kordes roses as part of a government program. Breeders were faced with the task of obtaining varieties adapted to the cold and humid climate of the eastern regions of Canada. As a result, a whole series of roses appeared, named after Canadian explorers of the North - "Explorer". The features of these roses are good disease resistance and long flowering with exceptional winter hardiness.
Canadian roses of the Explorer series: ‘ Alexander MacKenzie', 'Captain Samuel Holland', 'Champlain', 'Charles Albanel', 'David Thompson', 'De Montarville', 'Frontenac', 'George Vancouver', 'Henry Hudson', 'Henry Kelsey', 'Jens Munk' , 'John Cabot', 'John Davis', 'John Franklin', 'J.P.Connell', 'Lambert Closse', 'Louis Jolliet', 'Marie-Victorin', 'Martin Frobisher', 'Nicolas', 'Qadra', 'Royal Edward', 'Simon Fraser', 'William Baffin', 'William Booth' .
Foreign authors divide the Canadian roses of the Explorer series into three main groups.
First group. Roses - "climbers"- high and long reeds. This includes varieties of roses ‘William Baffin’, ‘Henry Kelsey’, ‘Captain Samuel Holland’, ‘John Cabot’, ‘John Davis’.
Second group. Rugosa roses - 'David Thompson', 'Henry Hudson', 'Martin Frobisher', 'Charles Albanel', 'Jens Munk'.
Third group. spray roses— 'Champlain', 'George Vancouver', 'Adelaide Hoodless', 'Alexander MacKenzie', 'John Franklin', 'Frontenac', 'Lambert Closse', 'Louis Jolliet', 'Royal Edward', 'Simon Fraser', ' J.P. Connell.
By the end of the 1990s, financial support government programs was curtailed, and the selection work was continued by enthusiasts who are now working on new series at research stations in Quebec under the guidance of Madame Claude Ricoeur and Dr. Campbell Davidson. They set themselves the task of obtaining universal roses for natural conditions eastern and western regions of Canada, capable of enduring unpredictable changes in natural conditions: dryness, heat, thaws, severe frosts and prolonged humidity.
By 2007, two new cultivars of Canadian roses had been developed and named after the artists: 'Emily Carr' and ‘Felix Leclerc’.
Thus, what is currently sold on the Russian market under the name "Canadian roses" usually includes the 'Explorer' (Explorer) and 'Parkland' (park) series, as well as some American selection roses bred by Griffith Buck in University of Iowa and even old winter-hardy varieties rugosa roses. They are all produced under license by Finnish or Dutch nurseries.

Canadian roses in the suburbs

And now let's talk about growing "Canadian roses" purchased on the Russian market in the Moscow region. As noted above, the main hallmark Canadian roses are considered to be able to tolerate frosts down to -30-45 ° C without additional shelter, but on condition that they are completely covered with snow. In other words, if you are sure that there will be snow in winter, Canadians can not be covered. If there are doubts, then it is better to cover, especially in the first year - to adapt to new conditions.
Equally problematic are statements about their unconditional resistance to fungal diseases. All this is due to the conditions of growth in a particular area. If your site is located in a lowland and is characterized by high humidity and frequent dews and fogs, you should not rely on the resistance of Canadians to diseases, it is better to take preventive measures. In this case, your roses will be decorative until frost.
It is absolutely known that some varieties of Canadians grow well and bloom in partial shade and even in the shade, while maintaining their decorative effect. However, in the first two years they do not always show their varietal features, such as the size and height of the bush. Some varieties grow quickly and already in the first season appear in all the beauty and power described in the catalog, and some need time for the root system to grow and allow the rose to grow into a large bush. The wait is worth it - when the rose takes root and gets stronger, it will steadily decorate your site throughout the summer season, until frost.

Modern range of Canadian roses

A wide range of variety of varieties Canadian roses will allow you to create hedges, flower beds, borders or picturesque arches in the garden. Among these varieties there are babies whose height does not exceed 0.5 m: ‘Hope for Humanity’, ‘Morden Amorette’, but there are, on the contrary, powerful bushes from 1.5 to 2 m high: ‘Alexander MacKenzie’, ‘Quadra’. Some varieties of Canadian roses have powerful and erect stems ( ‘Alexander MacKenzie’, ‘George Vancouver’, ‘Cuthbert Grant’), and there are with graceful and arched curved ( ‘Adelaide Hoodless’, ‘William Baffin’) or with climbing stems ( ‘John Davis’, ‘John Cabot’, ‘Henry Kelsey’). However, there are no real ones among them. climbing roses, capable of magnificently twining high arches or decorating pergolas. Rather, all the roses declared in the catalogs as climbing ones are powerful scrubs.
Canadian rose flowers can range from single to double (5 to 40 petals), and their color ranges from pure white to dark red, with many shades of pink, peach and cream. Often the flowers of these roses are collected in large inflorescences, consisting of 30-40 flowers. In addition, among Canadians there are varieties with an intense aroma. ‘Cuthbert Grant’, ‘David Thompson’, ‘George Vancouver’, ‘Henry Hudson’, ‘Henry Kelsey’ and etc.
Most Canadian roses have abundant and long flowering throughout the season until frost, despite the fact that these roses require minimal care, they tolerate extreme temperatures well - and summer heat, drought, and burning frosts. Canadian roses are not particularly whimsical to soils, but on regular feeding and additional cover for the winter will respond with gratitude and will bloom more abundantly and magnificently.
So that Canadian Cinderella- quite worthy reliable companions of life in the garden.
