Vrtnica ‘Nevada’
Dežela nastanka: Španija
Nevada v španščini pomeni snežna. Po barvni cvetov. Cvetovi imajo v premeru deset centimetrov in se široko, plosko, krožnikasto razprejo. Ob višku cvetenja veliki cvetovi prekrijejo cel grm.
Grm je nenavaden danes in je bil tak v času svojega nastanka leta 1927. Sorto ‘Nevada’ je ustvaril Pedro Dot (1885-1976), katalonski in španski žlahtnitelj. ‘Nevada’ je njegova najbolj znana vrtnica.
Pedro Dot je vrtnice spoznal na majhni vrtnariji v kraju San Feliu de Llobregat, ki jo je ustanovil njegov oče. Dotova družinska vrtnarija, ki prideluje vrtnice, še vedno deluje.
Vrtnica je del razstave EU v vrtnicah.
(ENGLISH)
The ‘Nevada’ Rose
Country of origin: Spain
In Spanish, Nevada means “snow-covered”.
This refers to the colour of this variety’s blossoms. The flowers are 10 cm in diameter, and open up widely to become almost flat and saucer-like. At the height of flowering, the entire shrub is covered in blossoms.
Today, the shrub seems unusual, but it was also out of the ordinary at the time of its creation, in 1927. The ‘Nevada’ variety was invented by Pedro Dot (1885-1976), a Catalan and Spanish rosarian. The ‘Nevada’ is his most famous rose.
Pedro Dot learned all about roses at a small nursery, founded by his father in a town called San Feliu de Llobregat. The Dot family nursery, which is dedicated to growing roses, is still open today.
The rose variety is a part of the exhibition The EU and Rose.
