Gardening Tips: Borders
If you want to add ground cover such as creeping thyme or alyssum to your garden here is a
great way to get started early and a fabulous way to create instant borders without the backache of having to plant each flower. Measure the area you want covered with ground cover. Let’s
say you want to create a border along an existing garden that is 10 feet long. Cut newspaper
(about 2 pages thick) into two feet long by one foot wide strips. To cover 10 feet you will need five of these two foot strips. Place the strips in a slightly sunny area but where the seeds won’t be disturbed or pelted with rays of light, such as basement shelving near a window. Place
garbage bags on the shelves then add the newspaper strips. Do not overlap strips.
Sprinkle the seeds on the newspaper like you would if you were planting them in the ground.
Place a layer of paper towel over each strip and then spray the towel, seeds and newspaper
with a water bottle. You want to saturate the towel and the newspaper, but you don’t want it to
drip. The paper must never dry out (if it does spray immediately.) Remove the paper towel
when the seeds germinate (in about a week.) Two months later, weather permitting, you can
plant your newspaper strips, now bursting with seedlings, outdoors. First carefully arrange each seedling strip where it will be planted. Once you are happy with the arrangement cover bare
newspaper areas with soil to anchor the strip.

Admiring The Old Garden Rose
To recreate the gardens of your ancestors, include the old garden roses. These date back for
centuries, are hardier, and include a large variety. They fare well in poor conditions, are the
easiest type of rose to care for, do best in rich soil that drains well, and continue to bloom for years.
Some types of the old garden rose are Mary Queen of Scots, Sweetheart Rose, American
Beauty, Awakening, and Belle Amore.
The Butterfly Rose is an ancient hybrid from China, introduced in 1932. The blooms change
colors from soft orange to pink to carmine, which makes it a delight to observe.
Old garden roses with the traditional appearance include:
The Duchesse de Brabant (a Gulf Coast rose with a light scent),
Belinda's Dream (long stems, nice fragrance),
Zepherine Drouhin (unique fragrance),
Red Radiance (strong fragrance).
What classifies a rose as an old garden rose? According to the American Rose Society, these
are plants introduced before 1867. They prefer light fertilization, a light feeding schedule, and patience. They bloom only when they are ready to bloom.
Judging seminars are held because it is a challenge to judge the old garden rose; therefore, the judging for it is not set in stone. Fewer judges are familiar with it than with the newer modern roses.
If your goal is to show your old garden roses for prizes, you'll have to pay a bit more attention to them and prepare them properly for the shows. Things to look for include strong, vibrant
blooms, leaves, and stems. They should have good color. Remove damaged petals (trim if
necessary). The foliage should be clean. The less side growths you have on your canes, the
better. A stem-on-stem condition is considered impairment. This is when new growth starts
where old growth had stopped.

A national show was held in Dallas, Texas, in October of 2006. There are district shows and
local shows around the country as well. If you are interested in competing in the rose shows,
you might consider joining the American Rose Society. Through such a group, you can obtain a
wealth of information and contacts.
Plenty of garden groups and clubs exist for rose enthusiasts. A short list of some of these clubs are as follows: American Horticultural Society, Arlington Rose Foundation, Phoenix Rose
Society, Potomac Rose Society, Arizona West Valley Rose Society, and Humboldt Rose
Society.
If you would enjoy traveling around the United States in search of gardens to view the various
old garden roses, among other types, you could try the following places:
The Pageant of Roses Garden, Whittier, CA, Washington Park International Rose Test Garden,
Portland, OR, Inez Parker Memorial Rose Garden, San Diego, CA, The Gardens of the
American Rose Society, Shreveport, LA, Tyler Municipal Rose Garden Center, Tyler, TX, and
the Zilker Botanical Garden, Austin, TX.
