GUIDANCE
Fragrance in Todoy's Roses
BY W. H. YoUNeMAN

Last May when Chancellor
Adenauer Of Germany was In
Washington he met with sSv-
eral members Of the Potomac
Rose Society. During the
course Of the conversation the
Chancellor mentioned his in
terest in rose fragrance. He
stated that he always worked
in his rose garden In the early
morning when the fragrance
was most noticeable.
This experience prompted
the question as to whether or
not our modern roses are fra
grant?
Fragrance in roses is not
considered In the scoring
standards for rose shows by the
American Rose Society. Hence
most Of our attention is d.
rected to form. color. substance.
stem and foliage. but all
through history we see refer
ences to the rose fragrance.
Perhaps we are overly sensi-
tive to eye appeal.
DR.. ]. A. Gamble who was
well known In rose circles. both
locally and nationally. was
keenly interested in rose fra
GRANGE and contributed SUBJ
stantially to the AIRS Founda-
ton for Research. specifically
into those factors in the rose
plant which determine the fra
GRANGE. This is only one Of
the many phases of rose re-
search that the foundation is
carrying on as funds are OBJ
tanned II is certainly one
phase that most rose lovers are
interested in, though eye APP
peal still ranks high.
Findings Reported by Gamble
DIR. Gamble. in one of his
studies which was published in
the 1856 yearbook of the Amer
lean Rose Society. found that
"A per cent Of the hybrid tea
roses listed In Modern Roses
w." published previously. were
fragrant. However. only IA
per cent were slightly fragrant.
IS per cent were fragrant. but
only IS per cent were strongly
fragrant. The percentages Of
the fidribundas and polyanthas
were considerably lower-fiori-
bundas 81 and polyanthas 40.
This is explained by the fact
that as hardness increases
fragrance may not increase but
decline
Contrariwise. the RugoSa
roses which are very hardy
have a rating Of 81 per cent
fragrant.
Climbers rate in between
these two groups with SIS per
cent.
That's the overall evaluation
covering many thousands of
roses and rose varieties. New
ertheless. it does point out one
fact. Namely. Of those roses
brought forth by 1900 some 40
per cent were claSSed as having
some degree of fragrance
Those introduced between 1900
and 1880 were much more fra
grant. approximately 60 per
cent. While those listed as be-
ing introduced since 1880 were
even more fragrant-68 per
cent. If We confine our ratings
to the past 10 years We find
this trend even more marked.
Over 80 per cent of the hybrid
teas are rated as fragrant. and
the percentages Of those that
are fragrant and very fra
grant" are likewise higher than
those quoted above.
II We go one step further and
take those varieties listed in
the 1855 buyers guide of the
American Rose Society. We find
the percentages in each cate
gory-slightly fragrant. fra
grant. and very fragrant-even
higher. However. If we con-
fine our interests to those
which are rated most highly
by the rose experts. then we
will find that fragrance loses

Clean. Wipe Tools
Now that winter chores out
of-doors are pretty well I'm
ished. clean dirt and rust from
tools and wipe implanted metal
surfaces with an oily rag. The
handles might be given rubs
with linSeed oil. Hang the tools
on nails or pegs. To stand them
on the basement floor is TO en-
courage rust.
Shrubs and Trees
It is not too late to set out
lilacs and other deciduous
shrubs and trees provided the
soil is dry enough TO be worked
when received. Also. be sure
those you want are best moved
in the fall, since some are less
likely to suffer setback If
planted in the spring.
Lilacs like a sweet soil so use
some ground limestone In the
planting hole. II the llacs
have been grated onto privet
rootstock they should be planted
deeper than II growing on their
own roots.
To Screen Away Sun
Now that December is here
we might Wen turn to providing
the protection needed BY broad
leaved evergreens and newly
planted conifers. A burlap
screen erected on the south
side is generally adequate pro-
lection from sun and wind.
The screen should be high
enough so that the topmost
leaves are protected. and 1t
should not touch the foliage. A
6-inch gap between the screen
and the outermost twigs is
adequate.
Protect From Heaving
Mulch newly set out pansies
and the bulb beds to protect
them from heaving. but do
not cover the foliage. Lift ii
and tuck the compost. peat
moss. or other material be-
meath. This helps TO keep the
ground from freezing. 1t also
helps to keep the soil cool and
moist.
Mulch and Compost
Now that all the leaves have
fallen from most Of the trees
and shrubs. except the pin oaks.
we should finish mulching the
broadleaved evergreens. in
GLIDING the azaleas. hollies. and
other choice plants. Then cart
the balance Of the leaves to the
compost pile. Mix a bit Of
fertilizer with them, throw in
some soil and next spring you
will have a rich mixture that
may be used either as a surface
mulch or mixed into the soil.
There is nothing better than
a good rich compost for flower
beds. vegetable garden, or win
dow boxes and planters.
BagwOrms In COcoons
As you go around the garden
look for the bagworm cocoons.
Each one contains a consider
able number Of eggs. perhaps
200 or more. Pull and burn.
II IS lots easier than applying
several sprays next spring.
Tulip Bulbs
1t is not too late to buy and
plant tulip bulbs. OF course.

being well attended in spite of
the inclement weather we are
having from time to time.

Services were high throughout
the day starting with School OF
Wisdom. The subject Of our les
son was "Paul Writes To The
Corinthians" However we find In
this lesson, that Paul addresses
himself with great skill. Instead
of giving dogmatic answers to each
question and problem, he sets
forth certain principles Of Chris
tian conduct which allows a So
luton of abiding value. And
while conditions of church life
differ today, these principles
which Paul sets forth in this let
ter can solve church problems by
the applications of these primo
iples.
