GARDNER Dept, of Hortiesltarml Selemee K.~e. State Caiver.lt jr Today, let’s discuss a flow er which reaches back in his tory to pre-Babylonian times and see if we can become more familiar with the dif ferent classes. The rose is frequently re ferred to as the best-loved garden Sower and I suppose that no one would wish to argue the point. It is uni versal in its appeal both as a home garden plant and for greenhouse forcing. It just would not be proper to throw a big shindig without roses. The Tea rose is the oldest, and very old plants can still be found around the missions in California. This class is best adapted to the Deep South atod the Pacific Coast, where it blooms profusely and almost continuously. Only about 25 varieties of the Tea rose are available through catalog Twchase in the U. S. The Hybrid Tea roses con stitute, by far, the largest percentage of varieties plant ed. There is a large selection of varieties, both in single and double forms, and many color choices. Some varieties tend toward a cluster type of blooming while others pro vide long stems desired by the florist for cut flowers. Polyantha rosfes include the •Hybrid l , Polyanthas and Plori bundas—the iFloribundas actu. ally being Hybrid iPolyantha selections. We hear more these days about Floribundas than aqju other in this class. The Floribundas tend toward a very compact habit of growth and are used most extensively as bedding plants. Hybrid Perpetuals, once popular, have perhaps the largest flowers in the rose family Mt are not now given the attention that some think they deserve. Climbing roses are not really climbers in the true sense of the word. However, they do adapt themselves well when attached to suitable supports. There are other classes of roses and one can easily be come confused because there is some overlapping of classes as far as use is concerned. I have attempted to give, in simple terms, the classes that are most commonly found in the average home garden. The weather in our neigh borhood has been just fine for the spread of black spot and mildew on rose plants, both /ungus troubles. Keep your plants well protected at all times with a regular spray (preferred) or dust program. j from HotloweH’s Rexall Drug Store Women of child-bearing age should be very careful about self-medication, says Dr. Virginia Apgar.
