Horticultural Classification Codes

Horticultural Classification Codes are often given to genera which have a large number of species or cultivars. They are used to categorise cultivated plants based on specific, shared characteristics such as shape, colour, size or flowering time, and can be displayed as letters or numbers

For example:
Dahlia ‘Sunset Kate (Sin) = Single flower
Rosa ‘Marigold’ (HT) = Hybrid Tea: This genus produces fruit, but not necessarily edible fruit

How to Grow

Cultivation

The short stature makes this cultivar ideal for the smaller gardens and for containers. Grow in a sunny position, and best in slightly acidic well-drained soil. Keep the compost in containers moist in dry periods, watering with rain water in hard water areas and feed with a liquid general purpose fertiliser monthly in the growing season. May have the potential to become a nuisance if not managed well. See raspberry cultivation

Propagation

Propagate by division in the dormant season. Lift new canes along with their rootballs. Choose only newly planted, disease-free stock from which to propagate
