SWLA Rose Society must say good bye to our friends Lois and Whitney Derise. Throughout the years Lois and Whitney have represented what all us want to be: Good Rosarians, Good Friends! They ve grown award winning roses, hosted Garden Tours, produced good, informative programs and never said no to a request for help in the garden, for the show, in the club. They will be sorely missed for their wit and wisdom and especially for their devoted support of SWLA Rose Society! We say Goodbye to Norris Corky Bradford, longtime rosarian who died last week. And, we pray for Caroline Hollins and Daisy Mills. Plan on coming to the December Gathering (not a meeting) for good food, fellowship and a fun evening with rose friends! Yes, there will be a Power Point Presentation more for information rather than a formal program. Thanks to all who helped produce our Fall Rose Show, small on the Horticulture side but large on Arrangements! We had help from the Master Gardener Volunteers, too. Twenty-four students exhibited their art!
6 Book Review: Legends & Lore of Texas Wildflowers by Donald Burger, Master Rosarian, Houston Rose Society. Reprinted from December issue of The Rose-ette, Manning Correa, PhD, editor The Herb Society of America, South Texas Unit, held its fall herb festival on November 3, One of the booths was selling books from Lucia s Garden, and I spied Legends & Lore of Texas Wildflowers, by Elizabeth Silverthorne, While thumbing through it, I noticed sections on bluebonnets, dandelions, milkweeds, paintbrush, phlox and roses. At first I thought it was a stretch to classify the rose as a wildflower, but then I got to thinking about the Texas Rose Rustlers and all those hardy roses that have flourished for hundreds of years without human care. Something growing in an abandoned cemetery is certainly a candidate for the designation of wildflower, especially in a book devoted to legends and lore. The book devotes a separate chapter to each of the forty-four wildflowers covered. Turning to the chapter on roses, I saw listings for Macartney rose, Cherokee rose, Pasture rose, Carolina rose, Arkansas rose and the SweetBrier rose, among others. The rose chapter is a wonderful summary of early historical references to roses. It relates praises for the rose from Confucius to Sir Walter Scott. Silverthorne relates how roses made it to America. William Penn brought rose bushes in his luggage. George Washington planted roses at Mount Vernon, and Thomas Jefferson did the same at Monticello. John Adams planted a rose and vegetable garden at the White House in 1800, and, in 1913, Mrs. Woodrow Wilson designated an area outside the President s office as the Rose Garden. According to Silverthorne, the Greek poet Anacreon (circa 582 BCE to 485 BCE) called the rose the Queen of the Garden, and the poet Sappho (circa 630 BCE to 570 BCE) wrote: If Zeus had willed it so, That o er the flowers one flower should reign a Queen, I know, ah well I know, The rose, the rose, that royal flower had been. Silverthorne relates the Greek legend that says that Aphrodite presented the rose to her son, Eros, who in turn gave it to Harpocrates, the god of silence, as a bribe to make sure the indiscretions of the gods and goddesses would not be revealed. At Roman banquets, the rose was hung above the tables, to signal that what happened at the banquet stayed at the banquet. This gave rise to the expression, sub rosa. England has designated the rose as its national flower (as did the US in 1986), and in France, from 1799 to 1814, Napoleon s wife Josephine developed her rose garden at Malmaison and commissioned Pierre-Joseph Redoute to preserve the beauty of its roses in his famous paintings. Silverthorne traces the Macartney rose from China to Texas via English colonists. She traces the Cherokee rose from China to Texas via Spanish colonists. Both stories are worth reading in detail. She also discusses the uses of rose petals in perfumes and the making of attar of roses (rose oil) from the petals. She says it takes sixty thousand rose petals to make an ounce of attar. If you want to learn how the Cherokee rose got its name, or how early healers such as Pliny, Hippocrates and Galen viewed the health benefits of roses, this is a pleasant read that should not be missed. And remember, this review only covers one of the forty-four wildflowers discussed in this most interesting book, which is still available from Amazon.com Always nice to read other comments on the rose! Enjoy! J.Engert, editor,swla rosette
7 What Good Rosarians Are Doing in December reprinted from the Houston Rose Society s The Rose-ette, Maria Trevino, editor As our year comes to an end and our winter begins, it is time to let the garden rest. There is not much to be done to the landscape. However, there are a few things that you could do.. Moisture. We have not had significant rain lately. We have days that are fairly warm. Don t let the rose beds dry out. Keeping the beds moist reduces the stress on the bushes. Remember, you want to keep those bushes in good health to really take off next spring. Mulch. Mulch on the beds will protect the roots during really cold days and, in addition, keep weeds to a minimum. Spraying. If you have fungus, continue spraying until the first hard freeze. Again, this helps the bush next spring. Deadheading. Cut some blooms to enjoy in your home, but leave most on the bush. Bloom production will slow down. Enjoy the rose hips. Keep beds clean. Removing the dropped leaves and other debris around the rose bush helps if there are leaves that dropped and had blackspot. The blackspot spores can live both on the leaves and in the ground. Remove dead bushes. Go ahead and dig up those bushes that died and you have been meaning to dig up. It will certainly make your garden beds look nicer over winter. If you are planning on replacing the rose bush, then work in some compost and expanded shale into that area. These new amendments will have mellowed by the time you plant the new bush. Check your bed borders. Look for grass that may have crept up on the bed to that nice soil. I (ms Trevino) recently pulled some St. Augustine runners that must have been 3 feet long! If you have rock or wood borders, you may need to restack or replace wood. That is not a bad project for cooler days. Build a new bed. This is an ideal time to build and prepare a new bed for next spring. There are good rose soils available at the nurseries and soil yards around town. You should consider adding expanded shale when you are preparing the bed. Clay soil is prevalent in the Houston area (and in Lake Charles, too). Expanded shale helps improve the soil aeration, drainage and makes it easier to work in. Texas A & M recommends using three inches of shale to incorporate in a new bed then till it into the existing soil. Before you begin building the new bed, there are a few things to take into consideration. Make sure the location gets at least six hours of sun a day. Any less and you will see leggy roses. Check for trees near this new bed. How big are the trees? Raised beds work best in this area. Decide what your border will be. Spend some time doing research to ensure you end up with a success and great rose blooms... (We benefit from this good information made available in the Rose-ette published by the Houston Rose Society. The soil is similar as is the climate. There are some other soil loosening products one might use: gypsum, sand, a small amount of peat. Some liquid products too: Soil Menders & Soil Activators ). [Use this time to catch up in the garden and don t forget to share those blooms! Organic Fertilizers aren t readily available when soils are cool, but if added now they ll will be there in the spring when soils warm up. And, that s a job checked off the list of spring garden chores. Don t forget to get a soil test if you haven t done so lately. Remember to water deeply when there s no rain something we haven t had much of since Harvey dropped so much on east Texas! Check the nurseries for new roses, especially disease-resistant varieties; K&M roses will be at the MidWinter Workshop. Kordes Roses are being touted as disease resistant and tolerant; check them out! K&M has many varieties on Fortuniana and Antique Emporium has several varieties on their own roots. When planting new bushes, remove the buds. Roots are the first priority; allow the bushes to get established, then enjoy the blooms! If you ve struggled with disease this year, work hard at eliminating it over these winter months. Try using a good contact fungicide every three days three times over a period of a week, i.e., day one, day four, and day seven. Then return to a regular schedule with alternating sprays of contacts and systemics. Look out for cucumber beetles at this time of year; light green with black spots. They ruin buds by eating through to the center so sometimes they go unnoticed. Manual method is best but a spray of insecticide should rid you of those! Remember: the spray must hit the bug to rid the bug! That s why manual is sure! Enjoy your garden these clear mild days! See you next week!] Julie Engert
