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.

Questions and Answers
B. 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.
