A History of Roses (continued)
Continued from October!
Josephine and Malmaison
In the seventeenth century
roses were in such high de-
mand that roses and rose wa-
ter were considered as legal
tender. In this capacity they
were used as barter in the mar-
kets as well as for any pay-
ments the common people had
to make to royalty. No one did
more to popularize the rose at
the beginning of the 1800s than
Empress Josephine, wife of
Napoleon I. An ardent lover of
the roses, she started a "rose
renaissance" by attempting to
grow every known variety in
her garden at Malmaison, near
Paris.
In the 16 years between 1798,
when she first started the gar-
den, and 1814, when she died a
month before her fifty-first
birthday, she collected 250 rose
specimens. To support her
hobby, Napoleon ordered his
captains to bring home any
new rose they found blooming
on foreign shores. So widely
esteemed was her garden that
the English, who were at war
with the French, allowed
plants for Josephine to cross
blockades and permitted her
Louise Odier, dating head gardener to travel freely
back into the 19th across the Channel. The repu-
century tation of Josephine's garden
spread across Europe,
igniting an interest in
rose growing and hy-
bridizing that would
eventually lead to the
birth of modern roses.
Because of the prestig-
ious gardens at Malmai-
son, France became a
leading grower and ex-
porter of roses. In 1815
some 2,000 varieties of roses
were available from French
growers. That figure jumped rose known to be hybridized

A History of Roses (continued)
rose, the hybrid tea had a more
compact growing habit and more
dependable ever blooming qualities
than its hybrid perpetual parent.
The first hybrid tea, 'La France', was
introduced in 1867. The National
Rose Society of Great Britain for-
mally recognized the hybrid tea
class in 1893. Since then it has been
improved considerably and it re-
mains the most popular rose today.
The creation of the hybrid tea
marked the start of a new era in rose
breeding. All classes of roses in exis-
tence before 1867 were deemed old
garden roses, whereas all new
classes were to be called modern
roses.
In 1900, after 13 years of trying,
French hybridizer Joseph Pernet-
Ducher introduced 'Soleil d'Or', a
cross between a red hybrid perpet-
ual and 'Persian Yellow', Rosa
foetida persiana, which had been
brought from Persia to England by
Sir Henry Willcock in 1837. This
cross created a yellow color that was
able to survive interbreeding. Pernet
-Ducher's 'Rayon d'Or', a golden
yellow; soon followed. Thanks to
these introductions, a range of col-
ors never seen before in modern
roses came into being: gold, copper,
salmon, and apricot. Pernet-Ducher
soon became known as the Wizard
of Lyons, the town where he did his
work. For the first 30 years of their
existence, these roses formed a sepa-
rate group called the Pernetianas.
Later, they were merged with the
hybrid tea class.
Twentieth-century roses
At the beginning of the 1900s, Dan-
ish rose breeder Svend Poulsen hy-
bridized many polyanthas. The
polyantha was a new class of rose
developed in the late nineteenth
century by French nurseryman Jean
Sisley, who crossed Rosa multiflora
and a dwarf China rose. Polyanthas
were low-growing bushes smoth-
ered in clusters of small flowers that
bloomed repeatedly all summer. In
the 1920s Poulsen crossed the poly-
antha with the hybrid tea to pro-
duce the first floribundas: the pink
'Else Poulsen' and the red 'Kirsten
Poulsen'. As its name implies, the
floribunda has an abundance of
flowers, a legacy of its polyantha
parent. From its hybrid tea parent,
the floribunda inherited plant
height and long cutting stems.
While the development of bush
roses was unfolding, climbers were
coming into being. Climbers have
complex histories and lineages that
are often difficult to trace. Many
evolved from ramblers, the first of
which was 'Crimson Rambler', an
import from Japan in 1893. The
large Bourbon roses also influenced
climbers, as did the tall noisettes.
Other climbers are sports of bush
roses that produced long, pliable
canes; still others are descendants of
large shrub roses. In recent years
many have evolved from Rosa kord-
esii, a tall, semi climbing shrub rose
that resulted from a cross of Rosa
rugosa and Rosa wichuraiana in
1952. The hybrid musks, which are
large shrubs or small climbers, were
created in the 1920s from crosses
between noisettes and Rosa multi-
flora ramblers.
Reimer Kordes, the twentieth-
century German hybridizer who
created Rosa kordesii, did a great
deal of breeding using Rosa spino-
sissima, a rose that had existed since
the Middle Ages or before. He
PAGE 3
crossed it with hybrid teas to de-
velop a fine group of modern shrub
roses called kordesii shrubs, includ-
ing 'Frülingsgold' and
'Frülingsmorgen'. These are winter
hardy low-maintenance flowers,
commonly found in public areas
and along roadsides in Europe.
With the coming of World War II,
the rose-hybridizing boom slowed
down, especially in Europe, but re-
sumed once the war ended. Despite
the proliferation of forms and col-
ors, one long-sought-after color
range-pure orange to orange-red -
was still lacking in modern roses.
The floribunda 'Independence', in-
troduced in 1951, was the first mod-
ern rose in this orange-red range.
The key to its unique coloration was
the pigment pelargonidin, which
also gives geraniums their scarlet
coloring. It was not until 1960, when
the German hybridizing firm Rosen
Tantau introduced 'Tropicana', that
we had an orange-red hybrid tea.
In 1954 a new class of rose was cre-
ated to accommodate the rose
'Queen Elizabeth'. Called grandi-
flora, this class resulted from cross-
ing a hybrid tea with a floribunda.
Its flowers resemble those of the
hybrid tea, but they bloom in clus-
ters like those of the floribunda.
Today there are more than thirty
thousand varieties of roses of all
classes (some eleven thousand of
these are hybrid teas). However,
many of them, especially the older
varieties, are no longer sold; they
survive, if at all, only in private gar-
dens. Sorting out their backgrounds
and histories is frequently a difficult
task. Some roses are natural hy-
brids, making their parentage virtu-
ally impossible to determine. Others
are commercial hybrids whose line-
age has been either lost or deliber-
ately obscured in order to deter pi-
racy. However, this has not stopped
enthusiasts from attempting to re-
construct it.
 PAGE 4
Growing Climbing Roses
Most of us would love to have the
beautiful arches or trellis‟s of
climbing roses we see in public gar-
dens but at the same time, most of
us are unsure of how to plant,
train, and prune them. Believe it or
not, its not as difficult as you might
think. The first task is to figure out
where you are going to grow this
rose. The climbing rose produces
shoots of two natures. The main
shoots are long structural canes
from which the smaller shoots
grow. Care must be taken to prop-
erly support this cane since it sup-
ports the remaining shoots. Con-
sider where you are going to place
your climbing rose and plan ac-
cordingly. Climbing roses can be
grown against walls, fences, posts,
arbors, trellis‟s and almost any-
thing else you can think of. The
most important consideration are
the three S‟s, space, support, and
sturdiness. Most climbing roses
produce more blooms when the
structural cane is in the horizontal
position. While you can prune to
reduce size, it is generally recom-
mended you don‟t prune much for
the first two to three years. This
means you need ample space. The
rose is going to grow quite a bit in
these first years so you want a sup-
port that will last, not one that will
rot and have to be replaced. Fi-
nally, you have to consider how
sturdy the structure is. It may
seem sturdy when you put it in but
consider what wind, rain, and
snow will do to it.
You first want to install the struc-
ture and make sure it is anchored
firmly. Wood, plastic, or metal
have all been used. The important
part is that it will stand up to the
elements and that it is anchored
well, perhaps with concrete. You
should place your structure so that
you have enough room for air cir-
culation and maintenance of the
rose bush. To do this plant the rose
bush at least six inches away from
what it will be climbing on and
several feet from permanent barri-
ers.
When planting the rose bush, dig a
hole that is twice the width of the
spread of its roots. The hole should
be two feet deep. The center of the
hole should be centered at least six
inches and no more than 30 inches
away from the supporting struc-
ture. Be sure to drape the roots and
carefully cover them with loose
soil. The graft union, or part of the
rose bush where the top of the
bush, the flowering canes, joins the
bottom of the bush, the roots,
should be planted slightly above
the soil level in warmer climate
regions. For colder climate areas,
the graft union should be placed 2
to 6 inches below the soil line. This
also depends on placement of the
rose bush, a more sheltered area
will allow you to not bury it as
deep. Next, deeply water the rose
bush. It is best to cover the immedi-
ate area surrounding the bush with
compost and a rich fertilizer. Water
the rose bush a second time. Top
off with a layer of mulch, taking
care not to smother the trunk of the
bush.
Next, tie the structural canes to the
support structure. Use items that
are flexible or stretchy in material
such as commercial ties, pantyhose,
thin leather strips, or cotton fabric.
Climbing roses are generally bro-
ken down into two categories, once
-blooming and repeat-blooming,
but regardless of their type, they
bloom mainly on laterals that
spring from the canes. Attempt to
tie the canes on in a horizontal
manner if possible. Leave some
space in between canes, attempting
to balance them evenly on your
support structure. Any broken
branches should be carefully re-
moved with the pruning shears.
Gardeners may weave the branches
in and out of the interstices but
they will come to regret it. Sooner
or later dead wood and unwanted
canes will have to be removed re-
quiring you to unthread or disen-
tangle thorny rose canes which is a
less than pleasant task. It is better
to distribute them more or less
symmetrically over one surface of
the trellis, holding each one in
place by a firm tie of some lasting
material. Regardless of what mate-
rial may be used, always cross the
tie between the rose-cane and its
support to prevent chafing.
Young climbers (including climb-
ing miniatures) under 2 or 3 years
old should be pruned as little as
possible, or not at all. The strong
climbing shoots (canes) should be
trained to fan out horizontally
without allowing shoots to cross
each other. They may be turned
and bent into position and held
into place onto the structure. The
shoots coming from these canes are
the flower producers. When the
spent blossoms have been re-
moved, these shoots may also be
tied horizontally to the trellis and
will in turn produce more flower-
ing wood.
PRUNING ONCE-BLOOMING
CLIMBING ROSES
This type of rose blooms glori-
ously, but only once a year and
they usually bloom on wood from
the previous year. Prune these
roses right after flowering is fin-
ished. If the plant produced many
canes, remove several of the oldest

Gary Seible reported that the Rose
garden at Silverdale Library looks
very good and that people have
been doing a good job of keeping it
up during their week of duty. Gary
mentioned that the garden will need
winterizing soon and Patrice Guice
suggested Sunday, Nov. 7. The
crew will meet at 1:00p.m.
There was some discussion as to
whether there will be a Rose Gar-
den , if the levy passes, at the new
Silverdale Library.

History and Lore of the Turkey
Dressing a Really Big Bird
Without turkeys, Big Bird would be
naked. Big Bird, of Sesame Street
fame, is actually dressed in turkey
feathers. Although he is not a tur-
key, his costume is made of nearly
4,000 white turkey feathers, which
have been dyed bright yellow.
Turkey: The National Bird?
Ben Franklin thought the North
American wild turkey should be the
national bird. Of course, the turkey
of his day was nothing like the do-
mesticated descendants we know
today. The wild turkey of Ben
Franklin's day was a brightly
plumed, cunning bird of flight.
Unlike eagles, turkeys live in flocks.
Imagine seeing a flock of birds as
large as turkeys flying across the
sky. It must have been a wondrous
sight. Wild turkeys have longer
necks and legs as well as smaller
breasts than turkeys bred for the
table. The true American turkey was
"wild and wary to the point of gen-
ius," said author G. T. Klein.
Too Big to Breed
The most prized portion of the tur-
key is the white meat of the breast.
Because Americans like white meat
so much, turkeys are bred to pro-
duce large breasts. Our domesti-
cated turkeys have such large chests
that the male, "tom turkey" is not
able to fertilize the eggs of the fe-
male, "hen turkeys" in the natural
mating position. Today, turkey eggs
are fertilized by artificial insemina-
tion for the hatchery.
What's a Wattle Anyway?
The head and neck of turkeys have
no feathers; rather it is covered with
red, fleshy skin. A soft floppy
growth on the front of the head,
which dangles downward over the
beak, is called the snood or dewbill.
The turkey also has a pouchlike area
at the front of his throat which is
called a wattle. The head, neck,
snood and wattle are all reddish
colored until the male turkey begins
to do his "strut" or mating dance at
which time the entire area turns
brilliantly bright red.
White Meat or Dark?
Did you ever wonder why the
breast and wings of chickens and
turkeys have white meat while the
legs and thighs are dark? The expla-
nation is a physiological one involv-
ing the function of muscles, which
gives some insight into humans as
well as animals. The dark coloration
is not due to the amount of blood in
muscles but rather to a specific mus-
cle type and it's ability to store oxy-
gen.
Gobble, Gobble!
Only the adult male turkey makes
the gobbler, gobble sound. The
adult male is called the "tom" tur-
key. The female or hen turkey
makes a gentle clucking or clicking
sound. The hen never gobbles.
The Christmas Bird
Charles Dickens' The Christmas Carol
is credited for popularizing the
serving of turkey for Christmas din-
ner.
Thanksgiving Proclamation
After the first Thanksgiving in 1621,
it took over 200 years before
Thanksgiving Day was officially
proclaimed as a national day of
thanksgiving, praise and prayer in
1863.
Americans Love Turkey
Over the past 20 years, Americans'
consumption of turkey has in-
creased dramatically. In 1975,
Americans ate 8.3 pounds of turkey
per year and in 1995, Americans ate
PAGE 7
over 18 pounds of turkey per year.
Bowling a Turkey
In the sport of bowling, when a
player bowls three strikes in a
row—it is called a turkey.
Which came first—the Pilgrim
or the turkey?
Wild turkeys were probably first
domesticated by native Mexicans.
Spaniards brought tame Mexican
turkeys to Europe in 1519, and they
reached England by 1524. The Pil-
grims actually brought several tur-
keys to America on the voyage in
1620.
Rain Drops Keep Falling on My
Head
Turkeys are extremely curious crea-
tures by nature. Groups of domesti-
cated turkey have been seen stand-
ing in the rain with their beaks
pointed straight up toward the sky.
What are they doing? According to
poultry research at the University of
Illinois, it is unclear. Some turkey
experts speculate that these birds
are curiously looking at raindrops
falling from the sky. Or could they
be attempting to get a drink of wa-
ter? We are still not sure! An old
wives tale suggests that turkeys
have been known to actually drown
in this position. While this has not
be substantiated at the University of
Illinois, we do know that without
guidance, some domestic turkeys do
not know enough to come in out of
the rain. If they are young and still
covered with down instead of their
true feathers, they are much more
likely to suffer from exposure than
from drowning. Not having enough
sense to come in out of the rain may
be an understatement in this situa-
tion.

For the cake: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
Line a 15 by 10 by 1-inch baking sheet with parchment paper. Spray the parch-
ment with nonstick cooking spray.
Sift the flour, cinnamon, ginger, and allspice into a small bowl. In a separate
bowl, beat the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until very thick.
Add the pumpkin to the egg mixture and combine at a low speed until incorpo-
rated. Add the dry ingredients and beat at a low speed until mixed. In a sepa-
rate bowl, beat the egg whites and salt until stiff but not dry. Fold into the cake
batter, stirring with a spatula, until most of the white streaks are gone.
Spread the batter onto a baking sheet and smooth out. Transfer baking sheet to
the oven and bake until a tester comes out clean, about 15 to 18 minutes. While
the cake is hot, dust generously with powdered sugar. Loosen the edges and
turn the cake out onto a kitchen towel. Fold the towel over the edge of the cake
and roll up. Cool completely, edge down, for 1 hour in the refrigerator.
For the filling: Soften the gelatin in the rum. Stir over low heat until the gelatin
dissolves. Cool. Beat the chilled whipping cream and powdered sugar in a large
bowl until peaks form. Fold in the gelatin and 6 tablespoons English toffee
pieces.
To assemble, unroll the cake and sprinkle with 4 tablespoons of English toffee
pieces. Spread the filling over the toffee. Start at 1 long side of the cake roll and,
using the towel as an aid, roll up the cake to encase the filling. Place the cake,
seam-side down, on a platter.
Trim the ends of the cake at a slight diagonal. Dust the cake with powdered
sugar. Spoon some warm caramel sauce and the remaining toffee chips over the
top of the cake. To serve, use a serrated knife to cut the cake crosswise into 1-
inch thick slices. Drizzle more sauce on each slice and serve.
