ENT EAE SN ee ce GARDEN GUIDE Roses For Informal Planting Like 'Teas' In Large Clusters By A. R. BUCKLEY Piant Research Institute A few years ago rosarians would not have dreamed of planting a rose anywhere ex- cept in a geometrical formal rose garden. This trend was fol- lowed by home gardeners who surrounded the sun dial and bird bath with square of rectangular beds of roses to provide the formality needed. Rose breeders all over the world are gradually changing all this. They are now introducing kinds with flowers that look like the hybrid ten roses but are produced in large clusters and can be used infor- mally. The hybrid tea rose was, and still] is, exquisitely formal but its hybrid and more ubiquitous offspring, the polyantha, could never be considered formal. The hybrid tea crossed with the polyantha produced the florifer- ous floribunda, some varieties of which have the exquisite shape of the tea rose but the informal- ity of the polyanthas. New hy- brid teas, too, produce bloom over a longer period and lend themselves to informa. planting. Nowadays the hybrid tea, grandiflora and floribunda roses may be planted in almost any spot in the garden where contin- uous bloom and color make a pleasing sight. This new ay of treating roses allows for many ideas to be developed in your own garden. First, approach your land- scape areas with this in mind: no other garden -plant offers such a varied range of colors. as the rose, and none has as long a season of bloom. This means you can put a planting of roses wherever the landscape calls for a dash of coior -- against a foil of luxuriant green foliage, a mecessity for their proper dis- play, or in front of a dark-col- ored fence or screen. The chief demands your roses will make are at least a half day of sun- light and no large trees or heavy shrubs to compete with them for food and moisture. DIVIDING FENCE _ _ If you have a garden wall or dividing fence, plantings of ei- ther hybrid teas, tall grandi- floras or the lower-growing flori- bundas will bring both color and greenery to the site. For depth you can combine hybrid teas, using them as background plants with floribundas in the fore- front. Imagine the striking color ef- fect created against a yellow wall with multicolored Granada or American Heritage, two splendid bicolored roses, the first with blends of red and yel- low and the second an ivory yel- low with suffusions of scarlet and vermillion. Or think of these in combina- tion with clusters of pure-white flowers of either Saratoga, a floribunda rose, or Matterhorn, a hybrid tea rose with snowy- white perfectly tailored blooms. Os if you wish something simi- lar but of less recent origin, try the huge Christion Dior of John S. Armstrong, vivid reds, with the older Ivory Fashion, creamy white. BRILLIANCE ADDED If you've grown tired of the sameness of the evergreen foun- dation plantings add brilliance to them with beds of colorful roses, or by placing a few plants among the low-growing evergreens to give cheerful ac- cents. I have seen the salmon florbunda Spartan and the multi- colored Masquerade serve ad- mirably in such situations. Some gardeners are using roses ex- clusively in informal beds in front of the house, picking colors to contrast or harmonize with the color of the home exterior. Roses also have a place in relation to walks, driveways and the patio, Along the sweep of a driveway, there probably is- no more pleasing sight than a row of cheerful floribundas. Then, too, if you live where there is much snowfall be sure to give your roses some protection such as boards placed over them and mound them for the winter. Sur- rounding the patio, or serving as a divider between patio and lawn, roses create a colorful, restful spot for the place where we spend so much of our out- door-living time. Do not forget to includ some in patio plant- ers, but bear in mind that these must be sunk in the ground dur- ing October to avoid freezing. PERSONALITIES Roses may be strong person- alities, but nevertheless they get along well with other flow- ers like perennials and annuals. Some striking and truly distinc- tive borders or edgings can be created with the brighter red roses such as the new President Lincoln underplanted with sunny yellow violas or deep-blue lobe- lias. For a contrast, underplant the clustered white bloom of some white or cream: floribunl das with purpoe or biue violas, or the new Apricot Nectar with lavender pansies such as Delft. Grandiflora roses; make good tall plants, which are excellent for screening purposes in the warmer parts of Ontario and Quebec. They can create infor- mal areas of privacy with re- laxing color, a great advancet they have over other typs of shrubs. Good grandiflora roses are Pink Parfait, Queen Eliza- beth, Montezuma, Carousel and Buccaneer, DOG BITES COP LONDON (AP)--Rex, one of the London police force's Alsatian dogs, was in the Doghouse today.

Both boys 'Everybody Lives Double Life', Says One Great Actor Of His Day By HAL BOYLE NEW YORK (AP)--"Every- body lives a double life,' re- marked Lee J. Cobb, one of the great actors of. his generation. "You have to keep two sets of books in order to survive." Cobb believes that in one set of books a man chronicles life as he'd 'ike it to be--in the other, life as it must be faced and lived, To Lee, a compactly - built man of 55. with thinning hair and probing, sensitive hazel eyes, the key words of living are "survival" and "purpose." "You have to survive before you can carry out a purpose, no matter how worthy it may be," he said. Neither a cynic nor a poliy- anna, Cobb has achieved a philosophy of realism after nearly 40 turbulent years in the seesaw world of the theatre. 'In the little area of my cos- mos, I feel grateful," he said. Cobb's mother wanted him to become a concert violinist, "or at least an accountant, so I could earn a living." He's not sure himself when he decided on a_ theatrical career. STILL SERIOUS "It came, I suppose, from childish reveries. Everybody at one time or other fancies him- self as the world's greatest ac- tor and the world's greatest lover. "But I took those goals seri- | ously, and'? -- he smiled -- "I} still do." The star of numerous stage plays and some 6&0 films, Lee recreated the role of Willy Lo- man in Arthur Miller's Death | of a Salesman over the CBS} television network recently. It | was one of the top television | events of the season. Almost comptetely self-| taught, Cobb believes an actor | can be improved but not pro-} duced. "There is no substitute for ex- perience,"' he said. "An actor, like a pearl, is made by ac-| eretion, year after year. 'But chance is as important as. anything else to an actor. You can't say that you will pro- gress merely by keeping your nose to the grindstone. Talent | is not necessarily either recog- | nized or rewarded. "In most fields after you put in a rough apprenticeship, you at least have your foot on a rung of the ladder. But in the theatre you are still dependent on the roll of the dice--on luck, That's what's unfair about it, even if you're lucky, as I have COTTAGES built the models as part of a class program in which other pupils participated. --Oshawa Times Photo MIL JELINEK AWNINGS AND CANVAS GOODS VENETIAN BLINDS Vertical & Horizonte!
