By LUUe L. Madsen Aj we awing into the' rose plant- tag season which is any non rainy day from now until mid March - - many rose enthusiasts re making new clans for nlant- ln.- 1 r7&S C This year the I rose select ion jL ., jl committee is ad-f f$ vocating plant ing certain col ors loeetncr.rv un suggestion r f a ii 2. y .,iJKipu..apie;jMjl is to devote section of your 7 LJ- rose garden to winners of the ail American rose selection. You might consider the all-American roses with various shades of-red. Two red roses which won the award the first year it was offered - - 1940 --are Dickson's red and World's Fair. Dickson's red, a hybrid tea, is a large grow ing scarlet rose which holds its color even in the hot sun. World's Fair is the best known of the larger-flowered floribundas. It pro duces a fragrant, velvety, crimson flower. Heart's Desire, selected in 1942 and widely grown in the Wil lamette valley today, is also a handsome scarlet red rose with large streamlined buds. Grand Duchess Charlotte, was one of the roses selected in ' 1943'. It provided a new color in red roses. The long buds are burnt carmine shades which open to good blooms, gradually changing color-until they are a begonia-rose. Mirany, a winner in 1945, ha big double deep crimson blooms. This rose is especially adapted to warm sunny situations. The flow ers do take on a wine color as they age - - something some growers praise them for and others com- lain about. There are some Wil imette valley growers who have complained that Mirandy doesn't do so well here as in the south, while others have produced fine blooms. For growing the Mirandy be extra sure that drainage is per fect (although that is a requisite with all roses.) Then choose a lo cation which will give the plant .the maximum warmth your gar den can produce. Rubaiyat, the only rose chosen in 1947, is a brilliant rose-red with the reverse of the petals a lighter shade; It has clean, waxy foliage and 'high-centered buds which open slowly. This, too, has not been favorite with some Sa lem growers, but It has done very well in my own garden and I ant truly very fond of it. Nocturne and San Fernando were the red roses chosen as the 1948 winners. San Fernando, currant-red. Is beautiful both in bud and bloom and is fragrant as well. Nocturne, as the name sug gests, is a deeper red, has long stems and fine foliage. The color is cardinal with darker shadings I have not tried this rose in my own garden nor have I seen it growing, but those displayed at the flower shows have been beau tifuL and I have marked it as one I would like to add to my own collection before this planting sea son is over. The all-Amerlcan roses chosen for 1949, are hot strictly red, since they are bi-colored. But they are a fine addition to any rose gar den. Forty-niner is considered the most brilliantly bi-colored rose ever introduced. Another good group coloring in roses is the yellow, using such as California, Lowell Thomas, Mme. Marie Curie, Eclipse, Mrs. E. P. Thorn, Souvenir. Or a pink collection, using Charlotte Armstrong, Mary Mar garet McBride, Pinkie, Picture, Countess Vandal.

B. asks if camellias may be planted now. Ans.: Yes, if they are not mud ded down. If the ground is too wet and soggy it should not be tram pled on. Wait for a day or two of clear weather that isn't frosty. Early blooming camellias do best, it seems, if planted in fall. How- rrer, tfela U an cfcrufe (there art . others) which mar b planted! while in bloom with very little j setback. W. P. asks if she should lift ber I dahlias now. Says tops are frozen down. Ans.: Yes, they should be lifted now, being careful in doing so not to break the necks of the tu bers. Dry for a few days in a cool airy place and then pack in peat mott, sand or light dry soil and store in a cool dry place. C. J. J. asks if covering the fuchsias out doors with straw will keep them from freezing. Ans.: Peat moss or sawdust might be better to use as a cover ing, for straw has a tendency to mildew at times if packed too hea vily. Trim the longer growths off and cover the entire plant with the mulch. Small kegs packed with peat or building paper have been used rather successiuiiy as winier i protection for the tree fuchsias. , However, tree fuchsias had best be removed to areenhouse or frostDroof coldframes or base ments for the colder weather.
