Skinner Garden
Classics 2001
2000 marked the successful re-introduction of perennials to our mail
order catalogue. Your response to this
offering has been encouraging and
while we offer about the same number of varieties for 2001, we hope that
we have propagated and included
more of the varieties that you are
looking for this year. In addition , we
have greatly increased our collection
so that we may add to our offering in
the future. If you visit the nursery,
some of these added varieties will be
available in small quantities this year.
You will be able to see many of these
growing in our gardens.
Our rose collection continues to expand with
additions to all classes which we list in
our catalogue. Most
notable for 2001 is
the addition to our
catalogue of two new
varieties in the
Parkland series – Morden
Snowbeauty and Morden Sunrise and
three new varieities in the Explorere
series – Louis Jolliet, De Montarville
and Marie Victorin. We expect to
have a number of significant additions in the Heritage roses in 2002
and 2003.
We are proud this year to bring you
Skinner’s Dwarf Pyramidal Cedar.
This plant was grown from seed collected by Frank Skinner near Lac St.
Jean, Quebec in 1960. We began to
propagate and test it in 1990. At that
time the original plant was approximately 180 cm. in height. It has dark
green foliage with a noticeable spiral.
We believe that this more dwarf form
will prove to be a significant addition
to evergreens which can be used for
foundation planting.

Our Statement
of Purpose
To offer plants that will be hardy
for the majority of Canadians. We
believe that hardiness standards are
oversimplified and climatic adaptation of ornamental plants has been
largely untested. Skinner’s Nursery
actively tests plants for the Zone 2
climatic and encourages the sharing
of this information among gardeners.
Skinner’s Nursery
To support and actively foster the
maintenance of a strong genetic
plant base by offering a broad selection of trees and shrubs with emphasis on hardy varieties.

O
ur collection
of roses continues to expand.
We have added a
number of varieties
to our list and more
to our collection. It
was exciting this
summer to travel to
Alberta to visit the
rose gardens at
Pink Masquerade
Brooks and to con(R. laxa hybrid)
tinue on to visit
with Robert
Erskine near Rocky Mountain House. As a result of
this trip we have added a number of rare and
worthwhile Canadian originations to our collection. These will be planted in our gardens over
the next 2 years. The roses we have planted
over the past two years provided bloom and
were of interest to visitors this past summer.
Their growth has been good and they
should provide a spectacular display this

Heritage Roses
Canadian plant breeders have made many significant contributions to the development of hardy roses. The imaginative combinations of Frank Skinner, Percy Wright,
Will Godfrey and Robert Simonet have provided inspiration to rose breeders who
followed them. Many of the varieties that these and others have developed have special interest to gardeners and rose enthusiasts but are difficult to find. Many are
excellent hardy plants for the landscape. Some are of particular interest for their
breeding background and they reflect the diversity which can be found in roses. We
have included in this section the varieties of more contemporary plant breeders such
as John Wallace and Stan Zubrowski because individuals such as these have carried
on the pioneering spirit in rose breeding in Canada.

taking 3-5 years to reach their beautiful potential. They range from 15 cm. edging
plants to large 1 m. plants. Foliage can be green, blue, or yellow and may have various patterns of variegation. We offer the following from our collection:

Research and
Development
S
kinner’s efforts in developing new plants have a long
history and cover a broad range
of plants. We have been collecting the historical varieties which
have been developed or introduced from the nursery and hope
to begin to develop a garden to
display these many varieties. Part
of the excitement of assembling
this collection is in rediscovering
some excellent plant varieties
which have been neglected by the
market for many years. We expect
to be able to re-introduce some of
these excellent varieties in the
future.

been selecting from the exceptionally hardy
trees, shrubs and perennials which are part
of our collection. Among the material
which we are looking at for possible introduction are lindens, clematis, mountain
ash and prunus. Evaluation of new
varieities of trees is a particularly long
process. With the introduction of
Skinner’s Dwarf Pyramidal Cedar, we
have begun a new round of introductions
in trees and shrubs. Look for more to

In the past two years we have added
many cultivars to our test gardens. We
will be bringing you some of these varieties in the future and we also hope to
use some of these in the development
of other new varieties. The range of
plants that we can grow in our climate
is certainly expanding quite rapidly at
the present time. Visitors to the nursery and arboretum can see some of
these varieties which are new or not
commonly offered to prairie gardeners. Our focus has always been to provide you with plants which will thrive
in your garden.
