FOUR MEDFORD (OREGON MAIL TRIBUNE Sunday, May 6. 1936 Rose Disbudding Is Explained by Society President Rose growers of the area who plan to exhibit blossoms of hy brid tea roses at the second an nual rose show to be sponsored by Medford Rose society June 2 should begin disbudding their rose bushes now, Eldred Peyton, president, has explained. ; As soon as the buds can be distinguished, all but the top one should be removed to allow that one to develop into an ex hibition : bloom. The side buds may be pushed aside with a toothpick or match and broken off, the president advises. ; Early disbudding is stressed to void the disappointment that oo curred in a few cases last year at the first annual show. Only Single blooms qualify and signs of recent disbudding . count against an entry. Disbudding should be continued until a few days before show time, he states, i At the special meeting of the Rose society held recently, Glen Brown of Ashland spoke on "His tory of Old Fashioned and Species Roses," and showed a color film of European gardens.
