They are redoing a patio overhang
with potted plants (no roses).
Claudia says, “We are planning
to serve a little dessert. Hopefully
we will have a beautiful evening
and some roses blooming. We
hope you will enjoy your visit to

PRESIDENT RICHARD KERKOF
SHARING NEWS AND VIEWS
Our 61st annual rose show has come and
gone. We give a big round of applause to
Harlow Young and his rose show committee
for putting on another good show. It takes a
lot of behind the scenes work to make things
look so smooth and beautiful. We congratulate
all of this year’s winners. We also congratulate
all those who took the challenge to help make
the show a success by entering their roses.
Many people commented on seeing the article
in the paper which made them enter when
they never had before. Sorting through the left
over tags from the show, we noticed a lot of
new exhibitors. When their ribbons were sent
to them, we included a note to encourage
them to continue. To see photos of the many
winning roses, go to the society’s website.

Water Is the Most Important Fertilizer
Roses continuously produce large quantities
of food by photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide
enters the leaves through microscopic pores
called stomata, located on the under sides
of the leaves. When stomata are open,
carbon dioxide diffuses from the air into the
leaves where it is converted into sugars.

___________________________________
Gary Ritchie explains, “Open stomata allow
water to escape from the leaves—a process
called transpiration. In the process of
making food, plants expend water. As the
soil begins to dry out, plant roots sense this
change and send a signal to the stomata
telling them to close, retarding water loss.
This is a protective mechanism by which
plants sacrifice food production for water
retention. Over the short term no harm is
done...but if water is not added to the soil,
the daily period of stomatal closure will
increase until stomata remain permanently
closed.” Dig down in the root zone, test
moisture level, and water as necessary.

District Doings
by PNW District Director, Jack Kiley
As you know we are a part (a very small part) of the World Rose Convention and World Rose Festival going on
in Vancouver, BC, June 18-21. Some of us will be attending the full convention and some will attend the
Festival, where, for $49, you can participate in the rose show, and have access to a lot of rose-related activities
at Vancouver’s Convention Center. For the latest word in festival doings, go to www.worldrosefestival.com.
Mark your calendar for the July 11 PNW District Shrub Workshop
and mail your registration asap! This full-day event covers horticultural aspects of growing
shrubs, ranging from site selection to planting methods, variety selection, pruning, feeding,
etc. – general topics of interest to the Consulting Rosarian in you. It also covers aspects of
exhibiting shrubs, including variety selection, pruning for exhibition and judging, with
consideration for Challenge classes – general topics of interest to your inner Horticulture
Judge.
We have assembled a cast of instructors unequalled anywhere, led by the heralded Gretchen Humphrey of
the Portland Rose Society. One of the many highlights will be Rich Baer’s photos of the best and newest
shrubs. The workshop is open to everyone; you don’t have to be a CR or a judge to attend, though if you are
either one, you may get audit credits.
The Fort Vancouver Rose Society will host with coffee, cookies, and lunch.
The workshop is scheduled to begin at 9:00 a.m. and go to 3 or 4 p.m. The workshop will be at the PUD
Building in Vancouver, just off I-5 at E. Mill Plain, at 1200 Fort Vancouver Way.
Registration for the all-day workshop is $35, of which $5 goes toward the cost of lunch. To register, fill out
the information below and send a check for $35 (payable to Pacific NW District – ARS) to John Sitton, 1120

A Noteworthy Observation from Tom Miles
“I visited the AARS Demonstration and Test Garden last Thursday around noon. The roses were in
full bloom and beautiful. The gazebo and grounds were packed with grade school kids and teachers
having a picnic luncheon and play day for the end of the school year. I bet there were over 500
children laughing and playing among the smiling roses on a bright, sunny day. Jane Melville and
Arlan Gadeken should be very pleased with the results of all their effort to develop that garden with
the support of the Master Gardeners. Observing those youngsters strengthens my belief the U. S.
will have a strong, bright future.”
We thank Tom for taking time to share his report. He has reminded us the value of a moment taken
to “smell the roses.” Along with this practice, we can begin to realize importance of becoming
energized and enlightened with the youth of today. To visit the Demonstration Garden in an online
video segment, visit the website www.benton-franklin.wsu.edu , click on Master Gardeners and
scroll down to the Demonstration Garden. Viewing the video will help you realize you must visit
this garden –if you have been there before, you will want to go again; and if you’ve never been
there you will be taking a Sunday drive. It is a magnificent variety of color and plantings. This
garden has something for everyone!
News and Views from Harlow Young
Harlow Young courageously answered a call out for New Year’s Resolutions in our January 2009 Rose Herald and now he
has heroically supplied us with his solutions, rose substitutions and guessing from his writing, a little (or lot of) sweat! Following
the garden update are his comments as 2009 Rose Show Chairman. Thank you, Harlow!
As a follow-up to my earlier “rosy resolutions” (found in the Jan issue of the online Rose Herald) I have to report
in. So far this season, I have removed 8 roses from my garden; 3 were discarded and the other five were given to
deserving homes. Another is destined to be discarded since I’ve noticed evidence of Mosaic virus (pictured on the
left) in it, affecting its quality of life. I’d like to replace it with another of the same kind.
I have received 3 “new” roses (new to me, at least) by donation, all from different sources. One I received is
supposed to be a big bush rose of unknown name and is said to be a repeat bloomer. I received it as, quite
literally, a 10 pound hunk of wood that was apparently the main root ball, delivered to me in a plastic garbage
bag. All the stems and the main roots were cut off by the previous owner when it was dug up! I really had
some doubts that it would make it, but it’s now up to about 20” of new growth. I have affectionately dubbed
it the ‘Phoenix’ rose, since it has really risen from the ashes of “doubt” to a lively plant. I am anxious to see
what it becomes.
The second was ‘Honey Dijon’ (pictured on the right), a gift from a friend and actually had a bloom on it that
was entered in the show in May.
The last was received from a Nursery; a reportedly “new” bush from Kordes called ‘Party Dress.’ I haven’t seen any blooms from it yet and
I can’t find any info on it on the internet.
I moved two bushes to better positions in my garden: ‘Love’ was moved to the front of a row so that it would not be overpowered by
other bushier and taller plants; and in its place, I moved ‘Touch of Class’ from a shady bed to this more sunny location. Both are doing well
in their new locations.
I have noticed two miniatures need to be moved to new “spots” so they’re not so overgrown by other bushes.
I expanded the rose/vegetable garden on the west side of the lot by approximately 200 square feet. In that space we have added about
seven “new” roses, one cabbage plant (that my youngest granddaughter brought home from school), some radishes that
she helped seed and some zucchini squash plants.
One ‘Climbing Peace’ (pic on the left) was verbally chastised last season because of its lack of bloom. It was told that if it
didn’t perform this year, it would be “shovel pruned.” It must have taken the threat to heart, because it put on quite a
show this spring, and actually had several blooms in the TCRS Show in May including one first place entry in the bloom
sequence challenge class.
I am planning to add another dozen or so “new” iris to my growing “collection” this summer. I really like them, even if they are
only a Spring bloomer. And in the past two weeks, I’ve been filling spaces in the more sunny parts of the garden with Petunias for added color.
I have also expanded one of the rose beds in the East side of the garden that is now home to two “new” roses, making the total “new”
bushes to NINE. I think I may have now expanded to more than seventy total rose bushes!
_________________________________________________________________________________________________________
There we were. Committee and activity leaders and volunteers hustling trying to get all the entries to the tables by the 10 o’clock
deadline and the Show Chair graciously extending it for another 15 minutes to get as many entries on the tables as possible; all 410 of
them! For a while, it seemed that the entry tables were overloaded with folks getting their roses ready! We even had people at the entry
area 30 minutes before the published 7:30am start time to enter their roses! It was encouraging to see people bringing in their roses,
many by the buckets-full, who have never entered in the Show before; people looking for help in naming their entries, needing help with
the entry tags, and getting them into the vases, etc. As the Show Chairman for this year’s event, I appreciate all the TCRS members who
volunteered to help in all aspects of the show.
The number of entries was a pleasant surprise! Given the discussion at the Society meeting the previous Monday where we discussed
cancelling the Show because of the effects of the cool weather and the apparent lack of blooms, seeing all the flowers on the tables was
a real encouragement. The comments from all the Judges following the morning judging session were very complimentary for the quality
of the entries, the number of entries and the hospitality of the TCRS.
Norma, with your trophies of Queen of Show in both the Hybrid Tea and Miniature classes, you are this year’s Rose Queen …
congratulations!
The 61st annual Tri City Rose Show is history … successfully! Thank you for your enthusiastic support! Please give Dorothy Campbell
the same support for next year’s Show.
