Taschner’s

By Johandie Slabbert

Rose

I decided to write a piece about a roses, but through the eyes of a very talented rose expert, Ludwig Taschner.

A phone call to Ludwig lands me in the field of roses with him! That's exactly where you would expect to find a passionate rose cultivator on a regular day. I think everyone in South Africa is familiar with the name Ludwig Taschner from Ludwig’s Roses, what a lovely privilege to get to know him a little better.

Ludwig started his business Ludwig’s Roses in 1971 after he arrived in Pretoria in 1962. Born in Germany during the Second World War, he trained as a nurseryman and in 1960 escaped from East Germany. He gained invaluable experience by working in nurseries in West Germany, Switzerland and England, where he started specialising in rose growing. This was ultimately the humble beginning of Ludwig’s Roses, who now grows the largest selection of rose varieties available anywhere in the world.

Large Variety According to Ludwig, there are well over 50 000 varieties of roses bred over the last 300 years. In Ludwig’s Roses nursery he stocks 800 rose varieties in his catalogue and another 500 not listed in the catalogue, which often includes roses kept in a museum for reference and history.

Working with roses for decades and establishing the rose industry in South Africa, he also pioneered the propagation of roses in containers, which took him eight years from concept to success. Previously roses could only be purchased in winter as pruned, bare-rooted plants. The effect containerised rose plants had on South Africa was that gardeners could select roses based on their flowers, fragrance and growth habits for most of the year. This facilitated the popularising of roses in every South African garden even more and is some of Ludwig’s proudest work.

He started with cross-pollinating roses about 15 years ago and it is currently his favourite thing to do.

Master Breeder Ludwig often finds himself overseas with other breeders to share cuttings and knowledge. No breeder would question Ludwig when he labels a rose as a good one and breeders all over Australia, South America and the sunny states of the USA are some of his biggest fans.

A very interesting fact that many people do not know is that roses survive drought situations. Ludwig explained that in the 1980s with the massive drought that hit inland South Africa, rose sales disappeared, however after the drought people realized that their roses survived and once the rains arrived and water restriction was lifted the dormant dried rose bushes sprouted and flourished again. The same has happened after the recent drought conditions in the Cape Province.

His SUPER TIP is that roses need water at the roots. You need to water your roses less often, but well when you do. The water needs to sink deep into the soil. In the garden, there is often root competition especially with tree roots that are sometimes widely and deeply spread into your garden floor.
