The Goderich Signal-Star, 1963-04-04, Page 19'.t FOR A GREEN.ER THUMB by .G. MacLeodRoss THE SCENT OF MUSK One day, some years ago, we had just reoccupied an old fort in Waziristan without opposi- tion. Then, next day, the In- dian tahsildar—the representa- tive of civil law, such as it was in those parts, came to me and said: "I smell, a rat in the air!" Again, one day last week, the scent of musk was in the air in Goderich. However, this was "not the long lost scent of the musk flower which dis- appeared so suddenly some years ago and has never been recaptured. On, the contrary, this was a long and beautifully auburn haired customer which, quite naturally seemed at the time, was requiring the atten- tion of a hairdresser and find- ing the door open, entered and solicited attention. And what a tail it had! When I arrived with my hair h the same condition of, PHOTO. BY. R. J. NEP=HEW some iioribttnda canes /oohed green right to the top. A .newly planted climber which 1 had covered with a bushel basket, in addition to the soil piled up around ait, also looted green and healthy over the full ex- tent of its shoots. The bulk however, protected only by earth mounds had not been deeply covered with snow and. so it appeared that a gold deal of pruning would be necessary. it is not suggested that this is the moment to prune hybrid teas; it should.be done just �oefore growth begins. Remove the dead wopd; cut an inch or two under dark colored areas and if no buds are left, clip the entire branch. Cut off all weak growth and any canes sprouting towards ' the centre of the plant.

Floribundas may be pruned as for hybrid teas, but if you prefer taller bushes, keep them at 18 inches, even when the winter has been rigorous. Tree roses should be pruned as soon as they are set upright. After severing all .dead wood, cut the live canes back to six or eight inches from the crown to encourage compact and vig- orous growth. The large flowered and ever - blooming climpers do not de- velop as much new growth eac year as the hardier climbers, The targe flowered and ever - blooming varieties bloom only on second year or older wood, so make sure you preserve this, When ever -blooming climbers have finshed the original bloom, only flowers should be removed as reblooming occurs from top leaves just under flower clust- ers. - Shrub roses should be pruned after they dower and then LINFIELD-McWHINNEY trying to get his prior customer p into the chair.
