My feet are planted deep in the soil where the wild, wild
roses grow.
- Author Unknown
Along the roadsides and sandy dunes of Cape Cod,
Massachusetts National Seashore, rosa rugosa grows wild.
In the summer the bushes are covered with pink and white
blossoms. In the fall the flowers develop bright red fruit the
color and shape similar to a ripe cherry tomato. In fact, one
of the common names used for these roses in "Sea Tomato".
The fruit is edible but seedy; sometimes it is used for
preserves. They are hardy shrubs with thorny stems, that
withstand wind, drought, freezes and salt spray from the
ocean.
The legend, according to Mike Whatley, Park Ranger in
Cape Cod, Masssachusetts, is that the first plants were
washed ashore from a shipwreck. There is no recorded date
when the rosa rugosa first took root on the eastern shores,
but they were protected and left to grow and have become an
important part of Cape Cod's history.
There are two types of rambling roses that grow in our
northwest beach towns. There also is no recorded date when
the first rose was planted, but they’ve been growing here as
long as anyone can remember. In some places they too have
been allowed to grow wild, but ususally are found growing
beside the older cottages. One has a double petaled pink
flower, the other a deeper colored pink single wild-rose-like
blossom. During July and August their trailing vines
produce 15 to 20 flowers per stem. They are hardy and
withstand salt air, wind and our occasional freezes. They
thrive without care or favorable weather conditions; but
because of their vigorous growth, they do need pruning.
They perform best with a provided support.

My children planted two of the double rose plants,
providing trellises for them to climb over the roof of their
garage. Last summer the garage roof was covered with their
pink blossoms. The most predictable word in the English
language is change, and our coastal towns, since the first
rambling roses were planted, have seen many changes. The
older cottages have been tom down to make way for large
new homes where little space is left for a garden. The small
auto courts' individual cabins were heated by wood cook-
stoves or rock fireplaces, and families would rent these
inexpensively for summer vacations. They have been .
replaced by expensive, two-or three-story supermotels with
all the amenities of home away from home. The
lighthouses that used to cast circled beams of light, their
lonely wail of foghorns mingling with the call of the
seagulls and roar of the ocean, have been replaced by large,
unmanned buoys that dictate the channels and provide
navigational aid. Freeways are being planned to bypass
beach towns because of dense summer traffic. A leisurely
trip along the coastline to see the ocean between stands of
trees soon may be a thing of the past.
Trinket shops now sell souvenir shells from foreign
shores rather than North Coast seashells children gathered to
sell for a few pennies. The five and dime variety stores,
Mom and Pop grocery and butcher shops where everybody
knew each other by their first name, in some towns are
being replaced by chain grocery stores with clerks who only
have time to question a check identification or hurry you on
to help the next in line. Small cafés where you knew that
"Mary's” clam chowder was made from local clams, or
Friday's "blue-plate special" fish was caught by the local
fishermn that m orning.. . may now use canned clams or
frozen fish from other, far-off shores. Jogging has taken the
place of beachcombing. . . bonfires may be built with
firewood from the supermarket... but the "Beach Roses" are
still here. Their roots grow deep in the ground. They are
the remaining survivors.
Dennis Saulsbury, owner of Raintree Nursery located on
Hwy. 26 near Seaside, Oregon, identified the double flowered
Brambler. The name of the rose is "Dorothy Perkins". It
was introduced in 1901. The parent plants of the hybrid
were wichuraiana (a brambler) and Mme. Lesizet . These
roses can be started from a cutting. Western Sunset Garden
Book describes in detail how to start plants from stem
cuttings.
Next year, Holland's Flowers will have some of these
roses for sale. For further information, write to: Holland's
Flowers, P.O. Box 132, Cannon Beach, Oregon, 97110.
September: the month to buy spring-blooming bulbs.
These bulbs should be planted no later than the last of
October.
When buying tulip bulbs, look for "Perennial Tulips".
These will provide up to five years of splendid bloom. The
more exotic hybrids like Parrot or "double-flowered" do not
bloom as well after the first year, but they are beautiful
grouped together in a large pot. In the garden I plant the
Perennial Tulip strain, along with Muscari (Grape
Hyacinths), Crocus, Anemone (Wind Flowers), Scilla
(Wood Hyacinth), daffodils and narcissus.
There are many daffodils and narcissus to choose from
that give year-after-year performance. Many varieties are
called "naturalizers", and some have a strong fragrance. To
naturalize means these bulbs can be left in place to spread or
re-seed themselves.
A few that have performed in my garden for several years
are: Thalia, a white daffodil, sweet-scented and late
flowering, with more than one bloom to a stem. King
Alfred, the grand-daddy of yellow trumpets - a vigorous
variety. A white trumpet daffodil that is tried and true is
Mt. Hood. Actaea, commonly called Pheasant's Eye, is a
narcissus that is fragrant and can take our damp spring
weather. Actaea bears tiny yellow cups, edged red, that stand
out like eyes against the pure white petals.
To ensure a healthy plant, fertilize with bulb booster •
when planted, and top-dress annually with the same for
continued success.

Whenever I buy bulbs of any kind, I buy at least three or
more, and plant them in groups. The correct planting depth
is important. Too shallow a depth invites winter damage.
There are some lilies that can be planted in the fall. A
few varieties are available at your local nursery stores.
B&D Lilies, 330 "P" St., Port Townsend, Washington,
98368, catalog has an extensive list of lilies. The catalog
also gives information of proper planting and care. They
offer Oriental Hybrids, Trumpets, Aurelians, Asiatic
Hybrids, and Lilium Species. Lilies are easily grown in our
coastal weather as long as they are planted in an area that
provides good drainage. B&D Lilies harvest and process
mid-October; however, it is wise to place an order during
September or early in October, as some of the varieties are
in great demand.
