X) ij mhw v G6 from the garden Hearts Delight For Rosarians ... R, I had the thrilling experience of viMting the California research and growing fields of the worlds largest growers of roses. Aimed with a list of questions fur nished by our own local rosarians to be asked of the experts might meet, I arrived at the little town of Pleasanton, Calif , the center of the huge rose growing industry. Neil Moore, the young and personable general mana- ' I- - ger, v Genevieve II. Folsom i met my tram. All the personnel w ere young, alert and thoroughly engrossed in producing the best new roses possible. Garden editors from the West Coast newspapers, and' the editors from the national gardening magazines, 50 in all, were guests at this tour. Park personnel from the three large coast cities weie also present. v HEADQUARTERS for ourx stay was the fabulous Castle-wooCountry Club, formeily a home of William Randolph Hearst. The grounds were vast, containing two 18 hole golf courses and a nine hole putting course. The beautiful lawns, huge and picturesque , California live oaks and the palms were worth some study and a picture or two. Our hosts were Charles Pei kins and Clarence Perkins, who were assisted by Mr. Moord, Dennison Morey, Norm Hinds, Dean Chapman, Holland W e s s i g, Norma Jean Cummings and Lee Franklin. Lee is a Bountiful boy, who holds a responsible key position in this huge industry. The first morning we isited the 1,000 acie Newman Ranch where four million roses are grown Here the fertile soil, rust fiee conditions, and sun d , shine make possible the cultivation of the finest roses. From these fields rQses are' sent to home gardeneis and commercial groweis all over America. The second day we visited the research fields at Livermore where Dennison Morey, talented young hybridizer, holds forth. Denny holds the position in the rose woild that our own Tell Muhlestein does in the iris circles. Such outstanding roses as Fusilier, the Rose Selection of 1957; Royal Gold, Royal Sunset and the newer Border Gem and Malibu have come from the hands of this young man. And he has many more, some even more spectacular, in the test fields. It is believed that the nexl decade promises new roses that will far overshadow any produced in the past. IT IS INTERESTING to know that a million seedlings may yield 15 to 20 woithwhile novelties and out of this three or four outstanding varieties will appear. It costs between $50,000 and $75,000 to produce a new marketable vanety. Also at Livermoi e, much research is being done on miniature roses. The most significant novelty from this years seedlings is a black miniature. There are a number of yellow seedlings as well. Work is being done on tree roses so that in the future it may be possible to 'obtain plants more hardy for this area. In the three days I was at the open house, I learned more about roses than I could have from months of study. This information I will pass on to you from time to time to assist you in growing better l oses.
