Roses Are Considered the World's Best-Known and Most Popular Ornamental Plant R O S E S Roses are considered the world's best-known and most popular ornamental plant. Their combination of elegance, fragrance, beauty, and charm creates an irresistible combin- ation. Roses require 6-10 hours of sun each day, along with fertile, well-drained soil and a site protected from winter winds. Dig a deep, wide hole, replace with good topsoil and organic matter. Roses look best when massed, but allow ample room for each plant. Mulch in summer. Fertilize with rose food in spring and in July. Apply fungicide when needed. In our area, some types of roses require winter protection. Apply a heavy mulch of fir boughs or straw at the base, and erect a burlap screen for those planted in exposed sites. Lay climber-canes down before covering. Culture sheets are available. All Roses are in 2, 2½, or 3 Gallon Containers. Pimpinellifolia (syn. spinosissima) are easily grown, not being fussy about soil.

These roses present a beautiful picture in shades of red, as they blend together to represent our love for you. When we view this beautiful garden we are reminded that as a garden grows, you are the gardeners that helped our order grow. Your love and fellowship have helped in making our beautiful garden. This morning we went to our garden, While the roses were wet with the dew, In the sunlight they glistened like diamonds, So we gathered a few just for you; Red roses we think are a favorite, For they always speak of true love, they are refreshed by the showers And sunshine that come from above. You will notice that each little petal, Blends together in colors so true And each one will bring its own greeting, And tell you that we welcome you. For the message that comes from the flowers, Tells of beauty, they are willing to share.

  • Color Matters
    Color Matters Color plays a vitally important role in the world in which we live. Color can sway thinking, change actions, and cause reactions. It can irritate or soothe your eyes, raise your blood pressure or suppress your appetite. When used in the right ways, color can even save on energy consumption. As a powerful form of communication, color is irreplaceable. Red means "stop" and green means "go." Traffic lights send this universal message. Likewise, the colors used for a product, web site, business card, or logo cause powerful reactions. Color Matters! Basic Color Theory Color theory encompasses a multitude of definitions, concepts and design applications. There are enough to fill several encyclopedias. However, there are basic categories of color theory. They are the color wheel and the color harmony. Color theories create a logical structure for color. For example, if we have an assortment of fruits and vegetables, we can organize them by color and place them on a circle that shows the colors in relation to each other. The Color Wheel A color wheel is traditional in the field of art. Sir Isaac Newton developed the first color wheel in 1666. Since then, scientists and artists have studied a number of variations of this concept. Different opinions of one format of color wheel over another sparks debate. In reality, any color wheel which is logically arranged has merit. 1 The definitions of colors are based on the color wheel. There are primary colors, secondary colors, and tertiary colors. Primary Colors: Red, yellow and blue o In traditional color theory, primary colors are the 3 colors that cannot be mixed or formed by any combination of other colors.

Many homeowners seek help in selecting plant material that will offer season-long interest in the landscape. Different colors can add variety and add interest to the landscape. Plants should add consistency and tie the landscape design together. Harmony in a landscape is often accomplished when the same color schemes are repeated. When planting for color, it is good to remember some general rules. Cool colors, such as shades of green, blue, and soft pastels, blend well together and have a tendency to make an area seem larger in appearance. These colors also suggest calmness or tranquility. Warm colors, such as shades of red, Tulips in early spring. orange, and yellow, jump out visually and act as colorful accents. These colors imply lively and inviting feelings. Complementary colors are those colors that most optimally accentuate each other. Yellow is considered complementary to purple. Red is complementary to green. Orange is complementary to blue. White is one of those universal colors, which complements all colors. There are many different plants which can add seasonal splendor to a landscape. Many plants display an array of flower colors throughout the season. Some plants offer different textures while others put on a spectacular show in the autumn as their colorful leaves proclaim the end of the season. When planting for color, it is important to think of the Butterfly Weed (Asclepias importance of foliage effect along tuberosa) blooms in July and offers Lilacs offer early spring color.

The number of colour words and the mannerin which differentlanguages classify the colourcontinuum differ. Bassa, a language of Liberia, has only two terms for classifying colours; hui and ziza (Gleason, I955: 5). Hui corresponds roughly to the cool end of the spectrum (black, violet, blue, and green) and ziza correspondsto the warm end of the spectrum (white, yellow, orange and red); in Bambara,one of the languagesof the Congo area, there are three fundamentalcolour words: dyema, blema and fima (Zahan, 195I: 52).
