Vrtnica ‘Grootendorst’
Država nastanka: Nizozemska
Sorta ‘Grootendorst’ je znana kot nageljčkasta vrtnica (nem. Neklenrose). Cvetovi so za vrtnico majhni, široki tri centimetre, močno polnjeni in s cvetnimi listki, ko so na robu cikcakasto narezani. Cvetovi so v socvetjih z nageljnovo barvo in obliko dejansko videti kot šopki nageljčkov – z eno napako, in ta je, da so skoraj brez vonja.
Sorta je dobila ima po drevesničarju F. J. Grootendorstu, ki jo je začel prodajati. To je bilo leta 1918 na Nizozemskem. Sorta pa ni nastala pri prvem prodajalcu, ampak jo je skrižal nek malo poznan žlahtnitelj.
Po prvem cvetenju se pojavi še kak cvetek, a cvetenje v tekočem letu ne bo več tako močno kot junija. Raste kot rožni grm, ki lahko doseže dva metra višine. Kako visok bo v resnici, odločimo z obrezovanjem, a nižji od 120 cm ne more biti.
Kljub stotim letom na svetu je nageljčkasta vrtnica zgledno zdrava rastlina. Ne le, da je ni potrebno škropiti, s škropljenem poškodujemo liste praktično vsem vrtnicam, ki so izpeljane iz japonskega šipka Rosa rugosa in ki imajo liste kot ta.
Vrtnica je del razstave EU v vrtnicah.

The ‘Grootendurst’ Rose
Country of origin: The Netherlands
The ‘Grootendorst’ is known as the so-called carnation rose (the German ‘Neklenrose’). Its blossoms are small for a rose. They are three centimetres wide and full-bodied; the leaves have serrated edges. The flowers grow in carnation-coloured panicles, and their colour and shape actually makes them reminiscent of a carnation posy; their only downside is that they are virtually scentless.
The variety was named after the arborist F. J. Grootendorst, who was the first one to sell it. This was in 1918 in the Netherlands. The variety did not originate with Mr. Grootendorst, but was a hybrid created by a lesser known rosarian.
After the first flowering, a blossom may appear here and there, but the subsequent annual flowering is never quite as strong as the one in June. It comes in the shape of a rose bush, and can grow up to 2 metres tall. It is on us to decide how tall it grows, but it cannot be shorter than 120 cm.
Despite being one hundred years old, the carnation rose is still in respectably good condition. Not only does it not need to be sprayed, spraying actually damages the leaves; this is true of virtually all descendants of Japanese rosehip or the Rosa rugosa, which the carnation rose is part of.
The rose variety is a part of the exhibition The EU and Rose.
