Ferns 2011 Auxiliary

Ferns are essential in shade gardens. They provide spectacular foliage and many dif- ferent shades of green. They combine beautifully with Hosta and other shade plants and Summer Garden Tours fill spaces left by early spring bulbs such as Narcissus and tulips. They are tough, long- lasting and easily grown. They are low-maintenance plants that have excellent disease and insect resistance. For optimum results, grow them in a cool location with well- drained and moisture-retentive soil. Find Ferns behind the SHADE BUILDING. Summer’s Favorite Days!

Roses Our custom is to offer you roses that have been grown on their own roots rather than grafted onto rootstock. These roses initially grow more slowly (hence their smaller YOUR NOTES: size) but catch up to grafted roses in 2 to 3 years. In cold climates these roses tend to be hardier and remain true to the original variety should they die back to the ground in ______winter. Old garden roses, modern shrub roses and pillar roses are gaining popularity among gardeners. Most are fragrant and many are disease resistant which lessens the ______need for chemical spraying. An annual application of organic fertilizer and compost is preferred for the one-time-blooming shrubs, with small additions of other fertilizers to boost the repeat bloomers. All are winter hardy and do not require “tipping.” The ______roses are listed by name and classification (Shrub, Alba, etc.) in accordance with ARS standards. The roses are potted for your convenience. The newly developing roots are fragile and may be damaged during transplanting which would cause growth set-back. ______Please use caution when spreading the root systems. Old Garden roses are defined as those types or classes of roses which were in exis- tence prior to 1867: Alba, Bourbon, Centifolia, Damascena, Gallica, Hybrid Foetida, ______Hybrid Multiflora, Hybrid Perpetual, Hybrid Spinosissima, Moss, Noisette, Portland and the species roses. For more information on roses hardy in Minnesota, read the HRC rose researchers’ ______book, Roses for the North by K. Zuzek, M. Richards, S. McNamara and H. Pellett. It is available in the Andersen Horticultural Library and for sale in the Arboretum Gift Shop. Roses are found outside between the HOSTA BUILDING and the ______SHADE BUILDING.
