瑞士瑞士玫瑰之友协会 – 全国性的玫瑰爱好者专业协会与开放花园

瑞士玫瑰之友协会（Gesellschaft Schweizerischer Rosenfreunde，简称 GSRF）是瑞士全国性的玫瑰爱好者专业协会，倡导瑞士本国的玫瑰栽培与品种保护，2026 年以”瑞士玫瑰”（Schweizer Rosen）为年度主题，集中推介瑞士育种家培育的玫瑰新品种，并通过”开放花园”（Offene Gärten）项目鼓励会员之间相互开放私人花园进行参观交流。

协会简介

GSRF 总部位于瑞士，协会理事会由主席、副主席、秘书、财务与编辑等核心岗位组成，下设阿尔高、伯尔尼、巴塞尔、March-Glarnerland 等多个区域玫瑰小组（Regionalgruppen），形成覆盖德语区与法语区的全国性活动网络。区域小组是协会的真正支柱，承担组织会员活动、花园旅行与本地交流的功能，会员可跨区域参加任何小组的开放花园与培训活动。

核心活动

协会全年围绕”自家花园灵感、专业培训、花园旅行、特殊苗圃参观、多元化社交”五条主线展开：定期举办玫瑰修剪课程（Schnittkurs）讲解春季切花、夏季摘蕾、秋季修剪等实操技术；组织国内外花园旅行与植物学考察；安排会员花园与玫瑰专类苗圃的参观访问；夏季举办节庆与晚宴等社交活动，并通过”开放花园”项目让会员在初夏与夏末相互开放私家花园供同好参观。

出版物与会员

GSRF 为会员提供两类定期出版物：月刊《Rosenblatt》刊登协会动态、各区域小组活动信息、栽培护理实操指南与会员投稿；年刊《Rosa Helvetica》收录瑞士玫瑰育种、品种史与园艺技术等专业长文，是瑞士玫瑰文化最重要的德语参考资料之一。出版物之外，会员还可参与协会的玫瑰摄影比赛、年度大会（Jahrestagung）、荣誉会员表彰与年度主题品种评选等延伸活动。

瑞士玫瑰年展与年度主题品种

协会以”瑞士玫瑰”为年度主题，重点推介四位瑞士育种家与育种爱好者培育的玫瑰品种：来自阿尔高的’André’（Huber 育种，2017 年命名，矮丛型）花色为温暖的赭黄至淡奶白，植株高度 60 至 90 厘米，可与蓝紫色、白色宿根花卉搭配组合；来自图尔高州的’Leilani’（Sharlene Sutter 育种，2016 年命名，灌木型）拥有乳黄带粉边的重瓣大花，株高约 110 厘米，叶片深绿具抗病性；来自瑞士中部琉森州的’Schloss Haldenstein’（Hans Wüest 育种，2003 年命名，藤本型）以温润的饱和红色与高达 5 米的攀援高度成为花园拱门与立面的视觉焦点；以及同样由 Huber 育成的灌木型’Domenikus’，以黄色花蕾初开至边缘转白的渐变花朵与雨后仍保持花型的特性著称。

The Gesellschaft Schweizerischer Rosenfreunde (GSRF), the Swiss Rose Friends Society, is a nationwide association of rose enthusiasts dedicated to promoting Swiss-bred roses and garden-visit culture; its current annual theme “Schweizer Rosen” highlights rose cultivars bred within Switzerland, while its Offene Gärten (Open Gardens) program invites members to open their private gardens to fellow enthusiasts throughout the bloom season.

About the Society

Headquartered in Switzerland, GSRF is led by a board covering the presidency, vice presidency, protocol, treasury and editorial roles, and operates through a network of regional rose groups including Aargau, Basel Regio, Bern and March-Glarnerland. These regional groups form the backbone of the society, organizing local meetings, garden tours and rose-related events, while members retain the freedom to attend activities hosted by any regional group across the German- and French-speaking parts of the country.

Core Activities

The society’s annual program is built around five pillars: garden inspiration for personal plots, hands-on training, garden travel, visits to specialist nurseries and member-to-member social events. Practical pruning courses (Schnittkurs) cover spring care, summer deadheading and autumn cutting techniques; domestic and international garden tours and botanical excursions are organized seasonally; members visit private gardens and rose-specialist nurseries; social gatherings such as summer festivals bring members together; and the Offene Gärten program schedules garden openings from late June through late August so members can experience cultivation techniques and variety choices in real garden settings.

Publications and Membership

GSRF publishes two periodicals for its members. Rosenblatt is the monthly newsletter carrying society news, regional group announcements, hands-on cultivation tips and member contributions. Rosa Helvetica is the annual yearbook presenting in-depth articles on Swiss rose breeding, cultivar history and horticultural technique, and is regarded as one of the most important German-language references on Swiss rose culture. Beyond publications, members can take part in the society’s rose photography competition, annual meeting (Jahrestagung), honorary membership program and the annual themed variety selection, building a continuous calendar of engagement throughout the year.

Annual Swiss Rose Showcase

The society’s “Schweizer Rosen” annual theme showcases four rose cultivars bred or selected by Swiss growers. From Aargau, ‘André’ (bred by Huber, introduced 2017, bed rose) opens in warm ochre-yellow with paler edges and stands 60 to 90 cm tall, pairing well with blue, violet or white perennials. From Thurgau, ‘Leilani’ (bred by Sharlene Sutter, introduced 2016, shrub rose) carries large creamy-yellow flowers edged in pink on 110 cm stems, with disease-resistant dark green foliage. From Innerschweiz, ‘Schloss Haldenstein’ (bred by Hans Wüest, introduced 2003 at Haldenstein Castle near Chur, climbing rose) bears fragrant warm-red flowers 17 to 25 petals in clusters and climbs to roughly five meters, suiting open rose arches and well-ventilated garden structures. Also bred by Huber, the shrub rose ‘Domenikus’ is noted for its yellow buds that fade to nearly white at the petal edges while holding form through rain.
