The Rosarium Uetersen is a rose garden located in the Rosenstadt Uetersen, Schleswig-Holstein, Germany, and is the oldest and largest rose garden in Northern Germany. [1]

Today's rosarium was created between 1929 and 1934, and opened to the public on the occasion of the 700 year festivities of Uetersen on June 23, 1934. [2] The park, originally designed by landscaping architect Berthold Thormählen and three well-known German rose breeders from Holstein, Mathias Tantau, Wilhelm Kordes, and Krause, [3] covers at present over seven hectares, and is open to the public.

During the last eighty years, the rose garden was altered several times due to weather influences, extensions, and reorganisations. The rose garden is updated regularly through the plantation of new cultivars, and today presents more than 900 rose varieties in 35,000 rose plants in all colour hues and aroma nuances with a focus on climbing and standard roses. [4]

The rose garden is laid out in a strict geometrical design around two ponds, the large and the small Mühlenteich (German for mill pond). The larger one is divided by an island, called Hochzeitsinsel (marriage island), that can be reached through bridges from both sides. The park also holds a garden café, restaurant and hotel. [4]

Several rose cultivars were called either after the city or the rose garden itself, for instance the pink climber 'Rosarium Uetersen' (Kordes 1977), its two sports 'Uetersens Rosenkönigin' and 'Uetersens Rosenprinzessin' (both discovered by Kordes and introduced in 2009), and the cream-coloured climber 'Uetersener Klosterrose' (Evers/Tantau 2006).

Its origin is unclear – it was introduced in the UK by the garden designer Norah Lindsay (1873–1948), but was probably developed in the early 19th century – probably in Persia.

It derives from Rosa chinensis, and is generally accepted as the first East Asian rose cultivar to reach Europe. It is recorded in Sweden in 1752 and in England before 1759, but was probably cultivated in China for several centuries. It is believed to be the rose which inspired the song The Last Rose of Summer by the Irish composer and poet Thomas Moore. It is also known as Parsons' Pink China, named after Mr Parson who introduced it commercially to the UK in 1793.

<i>Rosa</i> Nevada

Rosa 'Nevada' is a white rose cultivar developed by Pedro Dot in Spain in 1927. It is one of his most successful creations and is named for its colour, as nevada is the Spanish word for "snowy".

It is probably a cross between Dot's pink hybrid tea 'La Giralda' and the wild rose species Rosa pimpinellifolia var. altaica, but is sometimes still described as a hybrid moyesii.

According to the RHS Encyclopedia of Roses, the cultivar is mostly called 'Blush Noisette' in America, and otherwise known as 'Noisette Carnée'. 'Blush Noisette' arose as a seedling from the light pink rose hybrid 'Champney's Pink Cluster', introduced by Champneys around 1811, and was the first frost-hardy climber flowering repeatedly, giving the cultivar importance as a parent rose.

<i>Rosa</i> Souvenir de la Malmaison

Rosa'Souvenir de la Malmaison' is a rose cultivar with large, very pale pink, flowers that open flat. The Bourbon rose was created in 1843 by Lyon rose breeder Jean Béluze, who named it after the Château de Malmaison, where Joséphine de Beauharnais (1763–1814) had created a magnificent rose garden. It is probably a cross between 'Mme Desprez' and 'Devoniensis'.
