HISTORY OF THE JACK O’LANTERN
Recipe of the 8 People have been making jack
o'lanterns at Halloween for
Month
centuries. The practice origi-
nated from an Irish myth about
a man nicknamed "Stingy
Jack." According to the story,
Stingy Jack invited the Devil to
have a drink with him. True to
his name, Stingy Jack didn't
want to pay for his drink, so he
convinced the Devil to turn
himself into a coin that Jack
could use to buy their drinks.
Once the Devil did so, Jack
decided to keep the money and
put it into his pocket next to a
silver cross, which prevented
the Devil from changing back
into his original form. Jack
eventually freed the Devil, un-
der the condition that he would
not bother Jack for one year
and that, should Jack die, he
pare roses for winter. From
what I’ve heard, Mr.
Ritchie is an excellent
speaker and a wonderful
Rosarian. I hope to see eve-
ryone at the meeting.
Joyia sent a picture of Rose,
it is Veilchenblau, a ram-

next year, Jack again tricked
the Devil into climbing into a
tree to pick a piece of fruit.
While he was up in the tree,
Jack carved a sign of the cross
into the tree's bark so that the
Devil could not come down
until the Devil promised Jack
not to bother him for ten more
years.
Soon after, Jack died. As the
legend goes, God would not
allow such an unsavory figure
into heaven. The Devil, upset
by the trick Jack had played on
him and keeping his word not
to claim his soul, would not
allow Jack into hell. He sent
Jack off into the dark night
with only a burning coal to
light his way. Jack put the coal
into a carved-out turnip and has

been roaming the Earth with
ever since. The Irish began to
refer to this ghostly figure as
"Jack of the Lantern," and then,
simply "Jack O'Lantern."
In Ireland and Scotland, people
began to make their own ver-
sions of Jack's lanterns by carv-
ing scary faces into turnips or
potatoes and placing them into
windows or near doors to
frighten away Stingy Jack and
other wandering evil spirits. In
England, large beets are used.
Immigrants from these coun-
tries brought the jack o'lantern
tradition with them when they
came to the United States.
They soon found that pump-
kins, a fruit native to America,
make perfect jack o'lanterns.
BOO!

Rosa hilliae probably resem-
bled a wild rose more than
the large-bloomed domesti-
cated varieties.
The early Phoenicians,
Greeks, and Romans all
grew and traded in roses,
which they brought with
them as they traveled and
conquered.
A History of Roses
Forty million years
ago, a rose left its
imprint on a slate
deposit at the
Florissant Fossil
Beds in Colorado,
and fossils of roses
from Oregon and
Montana date back
35 million years,
long before humans
existed. Fossils
have also been
found in Germany
and in Yugoslavia.
Roses grow wild as
far north as Norway
and Alaska and as
far south as Mexico
and North Africa,
but no wild roses
have ever been
found to grow be-
low the equator.
Today, there are over 30,000
varieties of roses and it has the
most complicated family tree of
any known flower species.
The rose apparently originated
in Central Asia about 60 to 70
million years ago, during the
Eocene epoch, and spread over
the entire Northern Hemisphere.
Early civilizations, including the
Chinese, the Egyptians, the
Phoenicians, the Greeks, and the
Romans, appreciated roses and
grew them widely as long as
five thousand years ago.
About 500 B.C. Confucius
wrote of roses growing in the
Imperial Gardens and noted that
the library of the Chinese em-
peror contained hundreds of
books about roses. It is said that
the rose gardeners of the Han
dynasty (207 B.C.-A.D. 220)
were so obsessed with these
flowers that their parks threat-
ened to engulf land needed for
producing food, and that the
emperor ordered some rose gar-
dens plowed under.
The oldest rose identified today
is Rosa gallica, also known as
the French rose, which once
bloomed wild throughout cen-
tral and southern Europe and
western Asia, and still survives
there. Although the exact origin
of Rosa gallica is unknown,
traces of it appear as early as the
twelfth century B.C., when the
Persians considered it a symbol
of love.
Roses in the ancient world
In Crete, there are Frescoes
which date to c. 1700BC illus-
trating a rose with five-petals
and pink blooms. Discoveries of
tombs in Egypt have revealed
wreaths made with flowers, with
roses among them. The wreath
in the tomb of Hawara
(discovered by the English ar-
chaeologist William Flinders
Petrie) dates to about AD 170,
and represents the oldest pre-
served record of a rose species
still living. Descending from
Rosa gallica is Rosa damascene
whose well-known fragrance
has been part of rose history
since 900 B.C. About 50 B.C. a
North African variant called
Rosa damascena semperflorens
thrilled the Romans because it
bloomed twice a year - a trait
previously unknown to them.
The 'Autumn Damask', which
has been traced back to at least
the fifth century B.C., is be-
lieved to be a cross between
Rosa gallica and Rosa mo-
schata, the musk rose. Until
European merchants discovered
the tea and China roses in the
Orient many centuries later, this
rose would be the only repeat
bloomer known to the Western
world. Another important early
rose was rosa alba, the 'White
Rose of York'. Made famous as
the emblem of the House of
York (Lancaster was repre-
sented by the red rose) during
the fifteenth-century Wars of
the Roses, this five-petaled rose
is actually far older, dating to
before the second century.
Roses later became synonymous
with the worst excesses of the
Roman Empire when the peas-
ants were reduced to growing
roses instead of food crops in
order to satisfy the demands of
their rulers. The emperors filled
their swimming baths and foun-
tains with rose-water and sat on
carpets of rose petals for their
feasts and orgies. Roses were
used as confetti at celebrations,
for medicinal purposes, and as a
source of perfume. Heliogabalus
used to enjoy showering his
guests with rose petals which
tumbled down from the ceiling
during the festivities.
The early Phoenicians, Greeks,
and Romans all grew and traded
in roses, which they brought
with them as they traveled and
conquered. As a result, roses
spread throughout the Middle
East and elsewhere in the Medi-
terranean. The Greek scientist
and writer Theophrastus wrote
the first known detailed botani-
cal description of a rose. Alex-
ander the Great, king of Mace-
donia around this time, grew
roses in his garden and is cred-
ited for introducing cultivated
roses into Europe. He may have
had something to do with rose
growing in Egypt, too.
In 1888 famous English archae-
ologist Sir Flinders Petrie, while
excavating tombs in Upper
Egypt, found the remains of
rose garlands that had been used
as a funeral wreath in the sec-
ond century A.D. The petals,
though shriveled, had retained
their pink color and, when
soaked in water, were restored
to a nearly lifelike state. Other
researchers have found paint-
ings of roses on the wall of the
tomb of Thutmose IV, who died
in the fourteenth century B.C.
References to the rose have
been deciphered in hieroglyph-
(Continued on page 3)

A History of Roses (continued)
ics.In ancient Rome patricians tended
rose gardens at their homes, and public
rose gardens were a favorite place to
pass a summer afternoon. Records show
that there were two thousand public
gardens in Rome before its fall in A.D.
476.
Medieval roses
After the fall of the Roman Empire rose
gardening became impossible for all but
a few. Charlemagne (A.D. 742-814)
grew roses on the palace grounds at Aix
-Ia-Chapelle, but it was primarily the
monks who kept roses alive, growing
them and other plants for a variety of
medicinal uses. Monasteries of the
Benedictine order in particular became
centers of botanical research.
Monastery gardens of Medieval Eng-
land were full of roses; roses were
closely associated with the church, par-
ticularly the wild red rose which was
considered to represent the blood of
Christ and each of its five petals repre-
sented his five wounds. Rose hips were
used to make rosaries and many Rose
windows are found in English cathe-
drals.
As social conditions stabilized, roses
began to reappear in private gardens.
During the twelfth and thirteenth centu-
ries, soldiers returning from the Cru-
sades in the Middle East brought back
tales of extravagant rose gardens, as
well as sample flowers. Travel in-
creased everywhere, and traders, diplo-
mats, and scholars began to exchange
roses and other plants. Interest in the
rose was rekindled.
Roses in the new world
Across the Atlantic many separate
strains of roses had arisen in the wilds
of North America. Of some 200 rose
species now known worldwide, 35 are
indigenous to the United States, making
the rose as much a native of North
America as the bald eagle. These roses
include Rosa virginiana, the first
American species mentioned in Euro-
pean literature; Rosa carolina, the
'Pasture Rose'; Rosa setigera, the
'Prairie Rose'; Rosa californica; Rosa
woodsii; and Rosa palustris, the 'Swamp
Rose', named for the environment in

Top Rose Gardens to Visit in the United States by Jillian Scheeler
Take a day trip to a rose garden!!
As it turns out, our local area has a
few of these!
By: Jillian Scheeler
Roses have always been valued for
their stunning beauty and intoxi-
cating scent. They also have a long
history of symbolism and meaning
and are ancient symbols of beauty
and love. In fact the rose was sa-
cred to several goddesses such as
Aphrodite and is commonly used
as a symbol for the Virgin Mary.
The rose also is the national flower
for both England and the United
States.
Three of the below listed rose gar-
dens are only a day trip away and
the majority of them are public
rose gardens which are free to the
public. So, take time to stop and
smell the roses and visit one of
these beautiful rose gardens lo-
cated around the world.
International Rose Test Garden
Washington Park
Portland, Oregon
Portland is known as the "Rose
City" and has several public rose
gardens; however, the Interna-
tional Rose Test Garden in Port-
land is the most well-known. It
was founded in 1917 and is the old-
est official, continuously operated
public rose test garden in the
United States.

joyment of the public. The garden
was designed to display a plethora
of rose varieties and within histori-
cal context. The garden documents
the development of roses from an-
cient times to present day.
Elizabeth Park Rose Garden
Hartford, Connecticut
The Elizabeth Park Rose Garden is
the oldest municipally operated
rose garden in the country. With
over 800 rose varieties which
amounts to 15,000 plants total, this
rose garden packs a lot in on two
and a half acres.
Mesa Community College Rose

KCRS Meeting Minutes, September 13, 2010
Bremerton Fire Station #41, 7600 Old
Military Rd.
The meeting was opened at 7:05 with
the flag salute. Visitors Andy Berg-
sagel, Kathleen Newcomer, Harry
and Nancy Hintlian, and Jo and Cliff
Martin were introduced.
Jo Martin presented a program on
flower design and arranging and
shared photos from her own garden.
She then had a drawing for an beau-
tiful arrangement of roses from her
garden which Sharron Etheredge
won.
The minutes from the August meet-
ing were sent out via email/
newsletter prior to the meeting for
members to read. Minutes were ap-
proved as printed.
The business meeting began at 8:05.
Madeline West presented Gary John-
son with a framed photo of his blue
ribbon horticulture entry from the
Rose Show.
Committee Reports:
The Treasurer’s Report: Gary John-
son reported a balance of $943.03 and
reminded members that dues are due
in November.
President’s Report: Ray Etheredge
announced that the October and No-
vember meetings will be held at Fire
Station #51 in Silverdale and the
Christmas party will likely be at the
Airport Diner in Bremerton. Ray
reminded members that elections for
new officers will be held in Novem-
ber as well as the dig-out sale.

well as watered when you’ve signed
up for a week of maintenance.
Membership Committee: 17 mem-
bers were present.
Newsletter Committee: Jenifer Mick
reminded members to notify them of
any personal accomplishments that
they’d like to share via the newslet-
ter. Greg said that he receives many
newsletters from other societies
which he would like to be able to
share with our members but with
many restrictions he is still struggling
with that problem.
Program Committee: Joyia Rubens
announced that Oregonian, Gary
Ritchie, will speak next month. Ray
Etheredge thanked Joyia and Made-
line West for the great job that
they’ve done finding speakers.
It was mentioned that members
could bring other plants besides roses
to the dig-out sale. Gary Johnson
commented that he will have three
roses from his reconstructed garden
for the sale.
Publicity Report: Madeline West
said that it is very difficult to get any
kind of announcement into the local
papers. Dorothy Guice suggested
that we notify other local horticul-
tural groups or societies to share in-
formation with them about promot-
ing programs or shows. Andy Berg-
sagel mentioned that the October

venue for promoting the Rose Soci-
ety. Jenifer Mick volunteered to look
into it.
Refreshments: Sharron Etheredge
says things are going smoothly.
Sunshine Committee: Ray Etheredge
announced that Eric and Joanne
Hunter are both in the hospital.
Sharron Etheredge said that Dick

the evening garden tours were so
popular they would have the last one
for the year at their home on Sunday,
September 19 at 5:00 p.m.
New Business: Ray Etheredge com-
mented that the Kitsap Chrysanthe-
mum Society had requested to bor-
row our risers for the show on Octo-
ber 9 at the Chrystal Grange. Donna
Hamilton made a motion that the
Rose Society let the Kitsap Chrysan-
themum Society borrow the risers for
their show. Dorothy Guice seconded.
The motion carried.
Ray said that there was a suggestion
that profile sheets be created for
members information. Ray passed
around an example and said it would
be discussed at the October meeting.
Harry Hintlian said he wanted to
eliminate “I don’t know” from our
vocabulary and demonstrated how to
make plant labels from soda cans.
Mary Ann Conley shared blooms of
“Eureka!”, “The Pilgrim” and
“Chihuly”. Andy Bergsagel brought
stems from climbers “Amaretto” and
“Crimson Sunset”. Jane Michelinie
asked for help identifying a bloom
from a rose she recently purchased
from a Friends of the Manchester
Library plant sale.
Suggestions for winterizing roses
were to clean up and discard fallen
leaves; cut back tall canes so they
won’t be buffeted by strong winds;
mulch if you live in a very cold area,
but put slug bait under mulch. Ray
Etheredge suggested putting out
grapefruit shells filled with Sluggo as
a slug deterrent.
The meeting adjourned at 9:00 p.m.

How to Dry Roses Properly
There are many reasons for drying
roses. Some people want to keep a
memento of a special moment. Per-
haps they are from a wedding that
you went to, or maybe they were a
gift from a friend or family mem-
ber. Whatever your reasons, follow-
ing are methods for drying your
roses properly.
There are two alternatives for dry-
ing roses: (1) air drying and (2)
sand drying.
Air Drying
Air drying is by far the easiest and
cheapest method of drying flowers,
including roses. It is simple; all you
have to do is follow these simple
instructions:
Start with perfect and unflawed
roses on their stems. If the roses
are not in perfect condition,
they will wither and the petals
will fall off.
Remove any leaves that may be
on the branches.
Bunch them up together in a
manner that lets them fan out.
Tie the bottom with string or a
rubber band.
Hang them upside down in a
dark, dry place for two to three
weeks to be certain they are
completely dry.
Sand Drying
Start by picking roses that are
in perfect condition. They
shouldn’t have any dew on
them and the stems should be
dry as well.
Reinforce the stems and blos-
soms with either white glue or
florist wire. For florist wire,
you will want to cut off most of
the stem (leave about one inch
of stem).
Push about 3 inches of wire
through the stem and right
through the flower head.
Next, you want to bend the end
of the wire into a hook over
each rose head and pull it
down. This helps to keep the
head secured to the stem.
When choosing to use the glue,
begin by diluting the glue in a
dab of water.
You will take a toothpick and
dab a thin coat of the glue mix-
ture at the base of each petal.
Work the glue into the base of
the stems of each flower so
that you can attach each petal
to the base, wait till the glue
dries completely.
Now for the
sand, slowly and
carefully cover
the flowers with
sand in deep
open boxes.
Make the
sand in the box
deep enough to
hold the flowers
upright.
PAGE 7
Sit each flower in the sand
filled box and slowly pour sand
around the base, around the
sides, and over and under the
petals. You should pour the
sand evenly so that you can
preserve the flowers natural
shape.
Wait for the flowers to dry
while facing upright.
Put the boxes with the roses in
a dry space that is warm and
brightly lit. This will ensure
that your roses will maintain
their bright color.
Let them dry for one to three
weeks.
Allow them to dry in a more
humid area to achieve more
muted colors.
Remove the sand by tipping the
drying container slightly so
that the sand can fall off the
flowers.
Remove each flower one by
one.
Now you have successfully learned
how to dry your roses. These dried
flowers will make great decorations
for any room in your house or of-
fice, or whatever else you’d like to
do with them.
