Statistics prove that 30 percent of aIl cut flowers sold in the North American continent are roses in dollar vo lume, and the same is true of the best and most beloved flower in the garden will pro- bably be the rose., Its beauty and fragrance is unexcelled by any other flower. Did you ever notice that the flower of the rose bush as soon as'the buds appear, continually change colour, right up until the bloom has faded. To build a good rose bed you must start with a good foundation, which is the soil you will grow themn in. If the soil where you will be making the rose bcd is poor then the best thing to do is to remnove the soil to a depth of 18 in- ches. This will give you a chance to 'put proper drainage on the bottom. Ëirst put in about 6 inches of crushed stone for drainage, then filI the rest 'of the bed with topsoil and manure and let the bed comne slightly higher than the soil level for proper drainage. Suppose that your soil is quite good and is on the dlay side then the best way to prepare the bed is to use a good coat of 2 to 3 inches of manure and work that into the soil.'Roses love a dlay soil that is drained with plenty of humus, so when you are planting use a liberal amount of manure for best resuits. Rose bushes can be- bought several ways. Bare-root direct from the grower, although this method is almost extinct, or you can buy them in packages wrapped up in foil with the canes waxed to preserve the moisture in the stems. Probably-,Ihe most common way is to buy them potted, where they have been potted in fibre pots and the top has been pruned back. Rose bushes that are packaged should be checked for moisture when purchas- ing them. Since they have been in the package for several months, you can tell whether they are dry by scraping the bark back at the top of the stems and see whether there is any green showing. Check also whether the bark-is wrinkled, if it is forget it. The best way to buy them potted, then you will be able to see the new fresh sprouts coming out on the side of the stems before you buy thein. Another reason to buy potted roses is the fact that most roses that are pot- ted are usually grown on a hardy understock grown right here in Ontario, which are much hardier than the im- ported bushes from the Southern U.S. Potted roses are usually more expensive but well worth'the extra cost, since they are fresh, already to grow and you can use the soil where they are planted in for the plant. Ail roses should be planted with the graft, which is the knob where ail t'he stems spr- ing up from I to 2 inches below the soit level. This will help to overwinter them, since the graft- is- protected from the frost. Once again use pîenty of manure mixed through the soit. A new pro- duct that cornes out about-2 years ago, which is called Plant-Aid will help to stimulate the roots and get themn started faster. Plant-Aid is a root stimulating hormone mixed with fertilizer and will help transplanting shock and faster starts. It can be used with any transplanting. Until next, week, Happy Garden- ing! THE BEST 0F ANIROAAN 7FOR GLORBAL NEWS The kind of colonialismr which animated the European. povvers for more than a century is long since dead and dis- credited. Despite that, there is a temptation to view the Falkland lslands as a colonial outcropping,. a vestige of Empire. And that is an image that is compelling and'mis- leading at the same time. By an accident of history, the 1800 residents of the Falkland Islands are British - people who because of that accident don't want to be Argentine any more than Gibraltarians want to be Spanish. 1 agree that any application of geographical logic suggests that the Falklands ought to be Argentine rather than British. But the sanielogic indicates that St. Pierre-Migelon should be Canadian, not, French. The fact that they aren't what they ought to be, geographically, is because of actions taken by people who are long si nce dead and no longer accounitable. Argentina has chosen to îupset history's bequest by force of arms, and had better be prepared to live with the con- sequences. 1 have 'great sympathy with the Argentine people, whose feelings that the Falklands are theirs are transparently genuine. But 1 have no sympathy at ail for a murdering fascist junta which has distinguished itself in Argentîna by trampling on every human and civil right ever proclaim-ed, and has now decided to trarnple the rights of Falkland Islanders into the bargain. The darkness is just as deep on the right as it is on the left, wohich is pro- bably one good reason for Argentina's unholy trade alli- ance, and possible military alliance wvith the Soviets. This is not a time when l'm going to be able to take rnuch comn- fort in Canada's mealy-mouthed1 and mercantile foreign policy. Thé horns of our dilemma are almost as long and sharp as that of the Arnericans. About the only probler the Amnericans have that we dont, is membership in the Organization of the American States, the OAS. The Falk- lands crises is exactly the sort of nightrrare which has kept us out of the OAS for years. But Canada has other noctur- nal spectresof its own making - among them the impend- ing sale of yet another Candu reactor to Argenti na. So, be- cause wie believe the, British' are in the right, and because et the same time wie don't vwant to jeopardize the Candu sale, me have reverted to the so-called honest broker's position; a position which might have had some validity in the 50's and 60's, but which now is an excuse for interna- tional hi larity. We've slapped Argentina's wrist by entar- going military material, which wie've been cheerfully seli- ing them as fast as they'd buy it, up until now. And in the guise of brokers, go-betweens, w4e now hope to talk our Way out of it - to have our cake and eat it. Just once in Ot- tawa, 'd like to see a flash of righteous indignation, a for- eign pol icy decision based on the Canadian perception of justice. That's not news%, but that too is real ity.
