THE CANADIAN ROSE ANNUAL 1999 Doreen Stanton EDITOR Published by TheCanadianRoseSociety 10Fairfax Crescent Scarborough,Ontario,MIL 1Z8 EDITOR'SNOTEBOOK One looks for a theme when doing the Annual although myownavowedintentistokeepitasCanadianaspossible. Notthat I want Canada or myself to be isolationist. I know we certainly cannot exist in a vacuum but there are so many books, magazines, andotherpublicationsavailableherein Canadathattalkaboutroses in other parts ofthe world often with no reference at all to things Canadian so it seems absolutely necessary for the Canadian Rose Society's Annual to trumpet our achievements and address our needs. We have, therefore, once again gathered a group of Canadian writers and rosarians together to talk about ourselves. There is anew rose societyin Saskatchewan, wheremanyinthe of the rest ofCanada think only wheat and canola can grow and then onlywithgreatdifficulty. ButBrianPorterhas writtenanoptimistic and useful overview ofpeople who grow tender roses like Hybrid Teas year after year with considerable success. George Shewchuk showed the way in Edmonton and reported in the 1996 Annual on the large number of Hybrid Teas that had flourished in his garden formorethantwentyyears. After seeing an article in the Globe & Mail on the new rose gardenatRideauHallinOttawa,I wasdeterminedtouseitas a theme for this year's Annual and to include other articles on the roses themselves and perhaps information on other public rose gardens. The Ottawa garden was to open in June so the timing seemed excellent; a call to Marlene Orton, who had written the original article, elicited the promise that as soon as the garden was officially opened she would not only write about it but would provide pictures as well. But June came and went and visitors to Ottawatold methatthe gardenwas stilljustabighole. Anothercall toMarleneindicatedtheopeningwasnowscheduledforAugustand she would forward her article then. But it was not to be; the garden is now expected to be officially opened in September, so what we haveis aprogressreport. Thejoysofbeinganeditor!! The weather remains a topic of great interest to all Canadians. AsIwritethis,itisJulyinTorontoandwehaveheatand humiditythatisdoingits besttobreakallpreviousrecords. Thishas lead to an outbreakofspidermites and mildew in my garden thatis copied in many others. It has left many ofmy roses either naked or clothed in whitefur, neitherofwhich is usuallyconsidered tobethe sign of a well kept garden. The West Coast is chilly, as is Alberta; Manitoba is drenched; I have notheard ofanything too unusual on the East Coast though they are apparently enjoying a warm and 2 fog-free summer. According to everyone who comments on the Annual, Audrey Brisbane's Clearing House is the first read and most often re-readpart. Audreykeeps on sayingthatsheis nothingwithoutthe help ofmembers who report and asks for more people to do so. As one who does, let me tell you it is a fun part ofgrowing roses and almost more educational to oneself than to anyone reading it. Audrey willbe delighted to send you the necessary forms and even more delighted to use yourcomments. Do itnow! See The Clearing Houseforheraddress. Thoseofyouinthemoredifficultpartsofthe countryareespeciallywantedandneeded. I wrote that about Audrey last year and I am notgoing to changeawordbutIamgoingto addasmallstoryaboutAudreyand me. Last year, I had terrible trouble getting Audrey's Clearing House off its diskette and into the Annual. Nobody's fault; the people who invent technology assume that the rest of us should know it as well as they and that we are unadaptable old fuddy- duddies when we don't. This year Audrey sent it by e-mail; the Clearing House was in the Annual in less than ten minutes after I receivedthee-mail.Notbadforacoupleof"oldgirls". We have another new list to add to the Annual. After much consideration the Board of Directors have created Rose Consultants and there are now seventy-three across the country eagerandwillingtohelpyougrowbetterroses . We aim for total accuracy, and we try to be consistent in grammar, punctuation and spelling. In addition to our cherished Dobson's Combined Rose List which we regularly consult for accuracy in description and spelling ofroses where needed, we are now consulting The Canadian Oxford Dictionary for correct Canadianusageand spelling. There would be no Annual without the cooperation and hardworkofthosewhowritethe articles and so, onbehalfofallthe readers, our heartfelt thanks. To my proofreaders, Richard Chambers, Judith Roback, Phil Webster, Ethel Freeman and Anne Graber, who keep me accurate and correct in all things, many thanks. To Steve Bass, the printer, who makes all of us look professional, adeepand sincerebow. Ihopeourjointeffortspleaseyou,improveyourroses and your garden and fill your dreams with the splendours of next summer'sroses.
