16 A Little Bitty about Gil & Diane Andy Vanable
'Golden Arctic' 'Night Owl'
The Rhode Island Rose Society (like many societies) followed. There were definite logistical problems gets new members all of the time. I try to be a good that made it impossible to remove the trees, and the Consulting Rosarian and introduce myself to these roses would have to do the best that they could with new members when I see them. And, I try to find the sunlight that was available and the invading roots out where these new members are in their quest that were there. for the perfect rose garden. A few years ago, one By this time, it was clear that Gil was the rosarian married couple (Gil and Diane) and I, struck up a few in the family, and Diane was doing the best that she conversations about rose culture and historic roses. could to help, but deferred to Gil for any final decisions During our discussions, I found out that Gil is regarding the roses. I did my best to instill in Diane that the rose aficionado, and Diane enjoys many other the principles that she was using with the perennials different types of plants and flowers. Along the way, and other plants, could easily be transferred to the they asked me to come by their garden and let them roses, and the garden would be much improved. For know my thoughts on how it could be improved. the next couple of years, I would stop by periodically When I went to their garden, I noticed big trees with to see how they were doing with their garden. I could thousands of tangled slowly see improvement roots that were invading in the roses. I could also the roses. These same see where Diane was trees were shading the starting to take more of roses more than they a role in taking care of should, and the roses the roses, and the roses were suffering. I gave were responding. I told them my observations, both Gil and Diane that and didn’t get a if they worked together, good feeling that my they would learn from suggestions would be each other. And they did

'Rhode Island Red' 'Iceberg' start to work together more, and the roses were much improved. They were both extremely happy to show me the fruits of their labors, and the new beds, and the new areas in the garden that they created, and the new roses the planted there.
In addition to being a rosarian, Gil is an amateur historian of sorts. He loves the history of his town (Plainville), his 19th century home, and the antique roses that he has added to his gardens to complement his house. One of his most precious roses he grows is 'Nastarana,' a Noisette discovered in 1879 by Ernest François Pissard. Coincidentally, 1879 is the same year that his house was built. O.k., now you’ve got my attention — a Noisette that 'Maria Stern' is hardy here in New England. How rare is that? Other roses that Gil grows for their historic value include many from one of my most respected hybridizing families, the
'Touch of Class'
18 A Little Bitty continued
'Charles de Mills' 'Lady of Shalott'
Brownell family right here in Rhode Island. Beauties from a bygone era, so important to the development of the rose — 'Lafter,' ' Golden Arctic,''Rhode Island Red,' 'Senior Prom,' 'Maria Stern,' 'Lily Pons,' and the list goes on and on from there. The list of old roses doesn’t end there. More old roses and old garden roses are tucked away here and there. Beauties such as 'Albertine,' 'Charles de Mills,' 'Common Moss,' 'Tuscany,' 'Mme. Plantier,' 'Lowe’s Eglantine,' 'Old Blush,' and even 'The Green Rose.' Gil also has expanded his collection to many of the “old favorites” and “old faithfuls” from the 20th Century. In addition to the Brownell roses, Gil has planted 'Chrysler Imperial,' 'Peace,' 'Dortmund,'
'Clair Matin'
'Alnwick Castle' 'Litchfield Angel'
19 A Little Bitty continued
'Joseph’s Coat'
'Falstaff'
'New Dawn,' and a dozen or more other roses from that bygone era. In some areas of the garden, if you didn’t know any better, you might think that you were back in the ’60’s tending to the roses before watching Apollo 11 touch down on the moon — LIVE.
Contrasting Gil’s selection of older and antique roses, Diane takes a different approach to what she likes to grow. She often refers to herself as the “Purple Rose Lady.” She has many mauve and dark modern roses that were introduced recently. Such beauties as 'Twilight Zone,' 'Falstaff,' 'Royal Amethyst,' 'Intrigue,' etc. are scattered throughout the garden. She touts 'Albertine' some of the parentages of her roses, and is proud of what she is able to show me. She doesn’t limit herself Gil and Diane, you have a great garden full of many to just purple. David Austin is the name, and David interesting and rare roses. It has been my honor to Austin roses she must grow. Her Austin roses are help you, however I can. Keep up the good work. You enjoyed for their fragrance and their beauty. 'Lady of have a showplace that will only keep improving as time Shallot,' 'The Mayflower,' 'Graham Thomas,' 'Alnwick goes on. I am extremely proud of what you both have Castle,' etc. are scattered everywhere. They blend in accomplished. well with the older roses, and Diane just can't help but take pictures of her roses. She does not limit herself to just the mauve and Austin roses. She enjoys modern All photographs favorites such as 'Jump for Joy,' 'Correta Scott King,' by Diane Hurd 'Dick Clark,' and even my own, 'Hera’s Song.'
20 Growing Roses From Cuttings Revisited Irwin Ehrenreich
With the September Yankee District weekend on the Cape just around the corner, I thought that I would update the way we are growing our cuttings.

This still is a good method used Dave Cannistraro brought some “Scarlet Bonica” successfully by many rosarians, but we have found (aka 'Canyon Road') and 'Jeanne LaJoie,' grown from that using a small pot for each cutting with a sandwich cuttings at last year’s workshop, to the RIRS meeting bag over the pot and secured with a rubber band, is for a fundraiser. better for us. We can monitor each cutting better This is an easy way to share roses, especially hard and label each bag with the name of the cutting. It’s to find or out of commerce roses between rose also easier to discard any cuttings that don’t survive society members. We hope that all of you will attend without disturbing the others. the Yankee District weekend, and stay for Sunday’s We’re looking forward to a repeat of last year’s Cutting Workshop.
