00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:11.560
You

2
00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:30.200
You

3
00:00:39.660 --> 00:00:46.460
Hello everybody certainly glad to have you back again for one of our regular get-togethers here in the old tool shed

4
00:00:46.460 --> 00:00:50.040
Gee the weather certainly has been getting nice lately, hasn't it?

5
00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:57.660
Well, it's a good time to start working outside and one of the first things to do as far as planting in your garden is

6
00:00:57.660 --> 00:00:59.560
getting your roses in so

7
00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:06.680
If you have some roses ready to plant or thinking of getting some because now is a good time to plant them

8
00:01:07.520 --> 00:01:11.920
I'm going to try to give you a few pointers, which I hope will be helpful

9
00:01:12.500 --> 00:01:18.580
Well to begin with it's a good idea to put on some good heavy gloves and

10
00:01:19.420 --> 00:01:25.120
Well, you'll find that's more advantageous with some varieties and others because there's so many different kinds of roses

11
00:01:25.720 --> 00:01:28.380
I want to show you these that I brought in though

12
00:01:28.380 --> 00:01:30.860
Got these from the florist

13
00:01:32.280 --> 00:01:37.020
Here are some really beautiful yellow and pink roses I

14
00:01:38.580 --> 00:01:46.080
Guess the the most common rose are the one that you usually get from the florist and grow in your rose garden is

15
00:01:46.080 --> 00:01:47.880
the hybrid tea rose

16
00:01:47.880 --> 00:01:53.580
Well, the hybrid tea was developed during the last century about the middle of the last century

17
00:01:54.360 --> 00:02:00.760
From the regular tea rose which gets its name because it it smell like tea

18
00:02:01.720 --> 00:02:06.900
That was crossed with the hybrid perpetual and from those

19
00:02:06.900 --> 00:02:12.000
To they develop this hybrid tea rose. Well, they're all kinds of the different

20
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:13.760
varieties

21
00:02:14.480 --> 00:02:15.620
classifications of roses

22
00:02:15.620 --> 00:02:18.480
Here is a climbing rose

23
00:02:18.480 --> 00:02:25.720
Alright probably should say rambler because the Ramblers and the climbers are somewhat the same they grow on long canes

24
00:02:26.480 --> 00:02:31.900
These have been trail trained up along the stick on one side and back down on the other side

25
00:02:31.900 --> 00:02:37.200
But they're very good for growing on fences or on a trellis alongside of your house

26
00:02:37.880 --> 00:02:45.820
Now the difference between a Rambler and a climber is primarily that the Ramblers have these smaller flowers like these

27
00:02:46.620 --> 00:02:50.960
Whereas the climbers are essentially the same thing, but the flowers are much larger

28
00:02:50.960 --> 00:02:57.720
Well, that's the way they distinguish them now the polyanthra rose is a small rose

29
00:02:57.720 --> 00:03:02.660
it's the Rambler type rose, but it grows in bush form then you've got the

30
00:03:03.500 --> 00:03:09.060
Flora bundas too that are just in between there where you get a lot of roses on one

31
00:03:10.200 --> 00:03:12.700
They grow in serve a little spray or cluster

32
00:03:13.380 --> 00:03:17.220
You know the history of the roses certainly very interesting

33
00:03:17.220 --> 00:03:23.560
it's one of the oldest flowers that we have and when I've been telling you about so many of the flowers that have been

34
00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:26.060
discovered or developed in the

35
00:03:26.060 --> 00:03:27.820
Over the last few hundred years

36
00:03:28.540 --> 00:03:33.140
It's interesting to note that the rose is one of the oldest flowers that we know anything about

37
00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:37.280
It goes back to the very earliest writings of man

38
00:03:37.280 --> 00:03:41.700
Oh the early Romans and the Greeks and the Egyptians had roses

39
00:03:41.700 --> 00:03:47.640
The Egyptians used to ship great quantities over them over to Rome for some of the Roman festivals

40
00:03:48.560 --> 00:03:49.760
now well

41
00:03:49.760 --> 00:03:56.140
Fossils of roses have been found so that that shows how old the rose actually is

42
00:03:56.800 --> 00:04:01.100
Well because it is so raw so old of course there are many

43
00:04:03.220 --> 00:04:04.420
Genera or

44
00:04:04.420 --> 00:04:08.180
Relations to the rose family because there's been more time you see

45
00:04:08.460 --> 00:04:15.060
Things are trees like the apple many of the fruits like the apple or the cherry and the plum the peach

46
00:04:15.060 --> 00:04:20.320
And the apricot they all belong to the rose family then some of our

47
00:04:20.320 --> 00:04:23.460
ornamental shrubs and trees like the well the

48
00:04:24.500 --> 00:04:26.980
the mountain ash the hawthorn

49
00:04:26.980 --> 00:04:29.020
Spirea or bridal wreath

50
00:04:29.020 --> 00:04:36.900
Belong to the rose family and many of the berries like raspberries blackberries and even strawberries all belong to the

51
00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:38.520
Rose family

52
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:40.680
well, I

53
00:04:40.680 --> 00:04:46.440
To tell you the truth. I've always been a little confused about some of these different varieties of roses

54
00:04:46.440 --> 00:04:49.600
I shouldn't say varieties. I should say the various

55
00:04:50.880 --> 00:04:52.680
types or classifications

56
00:04:53.640 --> 00:04:56.740
Because the line of demarcation is so slight

57
00:04:56.740 --> 00:05:01.160
It's so hard sometimes to tell the difference between a hybrid tea and a hybrid perpetual

58
00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:04.340
Well the reason for that is that the rose of course

59
00:05:04.340 --> 00:05:09.520
I guess is a favorite flower of more people than any other flower

60
00:05:09.520 --> 00:05:16.080
And it's been more work done on it and it's such an old flower that this works been carried on for so many years that

61
00:05:16.080 --> 00:05:23.760
there've been so many crosses made between the various types of roses that well when you cross a

62
00:05:23.760 --> 00:05:26.260
polyanthro with hybrid tea you get

63
00:05:27.580 --> 00:05:31.740
You get a rose that just halfway between well, then it's hard to decide which it is

64
00:05:31.740 --> 00:05:38.640
Well, they've been crossed or hybridized back and forth so much that the the line of demarcation is narrowed down

65
00:05:38.640 --> 00:05:40.920
So it's very hard to tell many of them apart

66
00:05:40.920 --> 00:05:47.080
I called up some of my good rose grower friends and I tried to look it up in some of the books and

67
00:05:47.080 --> 00:05:49.400
See if I couldn't get that just all straightened out

68
00:05:49.400 --> 00:05:53.660
But when I got through frankly, I was more confused than when I started

69
00:05:53.660 --> 00:05:59.380
But anyway, you can remember that the hybrid tea is the rose most commonly

70
00:06:00.020 --> 00:06:05.980
Grown in the garden and a rose garden and also it's the most widely used rose

71
00:06:05.980 --> 00:06:09.220
As a cut flower that you get from the florist

72
00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:21.460
Well, if you have some roses or plan to get some and they're going to plant them I want to give you some pointers now I

73
00:06:21.460 --> 00:06:22.500
Have a package

74
00:06:27.140 --> 00:06:28.180
That I

75
00:06:28.180 --> 00:06:33.760
Get them from your nursery or if you ordered them, let's just open this up

76
00:06:36.940 --> 00:06:42.680
Get rid of this paper

77
00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:47.280
Roses are usually packed and shipped

78
00:06:48.340 --> 00:06:57.040
With the roots well protected so that they won't dry out and I'll show you just cut this string

79
00:07:04.320 --> 00:07:05.020
Oh

80
00:07:05.020 --> 00:07:06.180
See all this

81
00:07:06.180 --> 00:07:14.280
Opiece moss or straw packing material so that when you get your roses the roots should be moist

82
00:07:14.280 --> 00:07:18.880
then it's very essential to prune them and

83
00:07:18.880 --> 00:07:24.480
Particularly any damaged roots now. Here's one that's broken. So we'll cut it off

84
00:07:24.480 --> 00:07:28.100
Right up there close. The rest of those look pretty good

85
00:07:28.180 --> 00:07:32.460
so now let's open up the top part of the rose here and incidentally

86
00:07:34.840 --> 00:07:39.980
These roses have been waxed that is the the top part the cane

87
00:07:39.980 --> 00:07:46.840
That's these branches. They're called the canes have been dipped in wax to prevent them from drying out and dehydrating

88
00:07:49.740 --> 00:07:54.940
Well, here's a here's a branch that's needs pruning off

89
00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:01.180
Now if you're going to take these outside in the particularly in the hot sun

90
00:08:03.180 --> 00:08:08.960
It's a good idea to have a pail of water and if you're gonna plant a lot of roses you can get one of those

91
00:08:09.940 --> 00:08:14.040
Half sized ash cans with water in it. They'll hold good many more

92
00:08:14.980 --> 00:08:17.680
we'll just prune these back a little both the roots and

93
00:08:18.780 --> 00:08:20.960
I think I'll wait till I get outside and

94
00:08:21.120 --> 00:08:24.980
Prune the top back. We'll put it right in there now

95
00:08:26.000 --> 00:08:31.000
I'll take a couple of roses along and we'll go right outside and plant them

96
00:08:37.380 --> 00:08:44.240
Hey, they're certainly done up well and sort of a very heavy tinfoil type of paper

97
00:08:48.090 --> 00:08:53.130
Well, those roots look in very good condition so I'll put them right in the water

98
00:08:56.490 --> 00:09:00.950
And I'm gonna take these outside where you can see from right where you are

99
00:09:00.950 --> 00:09:06.210
How to plant them, but first I have a message of interest here for you

100
00:09:20.850 --> 00:09:25.710
Well now we're ready to go outside and plant these right in the garden

101
00:09:27.970 --> 00:09:30.310
Well, here we are out in the rose garden

102
00:09:30.310 --> 00:09:36.610
There are a couple of rose bushes here that have been winter killed and I

103
00:09:36.610 --> 00:09:43.330
Just thought it'd be a good time to replace them. Well, you see this one is just completely dead. It's all dried up and brittle and

104
00:09:43.330 --> 00:09:44.370
I guess pull the

105
00:09:44.370 --> 00:09:49.650
Right out and you can see there's there wasn't much of a rut on that one to begin with

106
00:09:49.650 --> 00:09:51.930
Wasn't very it wasn't a very good plan

107
00:09:53.830 --> 00:09:56.890
Well now the important thing to remember when you're

108
00:09:57.870 --> 00:10:00.010
replacing a dead rose bush or

109
00:10:00.670 --> 00:10:06.370
Planning one to begin with you want to be sure to dig the hole big enough and deep enough

110
00:10:06.370 --> 00:10:12.250
That is so that you can put the new bush in there the new rose bush and spread the roots out

111
00:10:13.690 --> 00:10:17.590
Towards away from one another rather than crowding them in together

112
00:10:19.390 --> 00:10:21.150
I'll show you just what I mean here

113
00:10:22.450 --> 00:10:24.230
Let's get one of these out

114
00:10:24.830 --> 00:10:27.210
Take a look at those roots again

115
00:10:27.210 --> 00:10:29.910
There's one that needs to be pruned off

116
00:10:30.910 --> 00:10:31.870
gotten damaged

117
00:10:32.510 --> 00:10:34.670
You always want to have a nice clean cut

118
00:10:34.670 --> 00:10:40.630
On any of the roots that have to be pruned off and not broken and sort of a ragged in

119
00:10:40.630 --> 00:10:42.790
Now you see if you spread the roots out

120
00:10:44.710 --> 00:10:47.070
and have it deep enough so that

121
00:10:48.070 --> 00:10:53.830
it's just about as deep back just the same depth in the ground that it was when I was growing in the nursery and

122
00:10:53.830 --> 00:10:55.990
well, you can tell you can see the

123
00:10:56.770 --> 00:11:00.030
dirt line usually right on the rut there very plainly and

124
00:11:00.690 --> 00:11:03.150
Just want to make it the same depth when you replant it

125
00:11:04.530 --> 00:11:10.930
Well before you fill the hole in completely it's good idea to water it and put enough water on at least a half a pail

126
00:11:10.930 --> 00:11:12.670
Or more for each plant

127
00:11:13.450 --> 00:11:16.490
And let it soak in get all the air pockets out of there

128
00:11:17.190 --> 00:11:23.390
You want to have the soil nicely broken up and prepared so you're not filling it in with a lot of big lumps

129
00:11:24.710 --> 00:11:29.970
That aren't going to settle down. Well, and when you fill it in the rest of the way

130
00:11:29.970 --> 00:11:34.090
When you show you something now just take the dirt and fill it up

131
00:11:34.090 --> 00:11:36.250
around the plant

132
00:11:36.250 --> 00:11:39.950
Pile it up just as you see I'm doing here

133
00:11:40.730 --> 00:11:46.350
and leave it there for probably 10 days or two weeks at least or until some of the

134
00:11:46.350 --> 00:11:51.410
leaves start coming out the plant rose bush starts growing and that protects the

135
00:11:52.230 --> 00:11:53.970
Bottom part of the canes from drying out

136
00:11:54.690 --> 00:11:56.450
particularly around the graft

137
00:11:56.450 --> 00:12:03.550
And you want to prune the canes back about halfway of course that'll depend somewhat on the condition of the rose plant

138
00:12:03.550 --> 00:12:09.210
Of course you want to prune off any dead or dried wood and here you can see that coating of wax

139
00:12:09.210 --> 00:12:15.490
I told you about and when you're pruning you want to prune right where there's a new shoot coming out facing outward

140
00:12:15.490 --> 00:12:17.670
because then your

141
00:12:17.670 --> 00:12:20.410
Plant will become bushier as the new shoots grow

142
00:12:26.450 --> 00:12:26.610
Oh

143
00:12:29.350 --> 00:12:32.550
It's good idea to pick up all the pruned

144
00:12:33.130 --> 00:12:35.350
or the cuttings

145
00:12:35.350 --> 00:12:40.730
It's good idea to put them right in the bucket to begin with rather than throwing them on the ground and that saves picking them all

146
00:12:40.730 --> 00:12:44.370
up and some of those things are you have lots of thorns in them and they

147
00:12:45.610 --> 00:12:49.690
The less handling you have to do well the less chance of getting thorns in your fingers

148
00:12:50.790 --> 00:12:54.650
but I might go through and that other rose bush there and needed a pretty badly and

149
00:12:57.790 --> 00:13:00.490
Then the next thing is to cultivate around the

150
00:13:01.450 --> 00:13:05.210
roses you should do the whole garden won't have time for it right now, but

151
00:13:06.290 --> 00:13:08.930
Fix this up around this one rose bush a little

152
00:13:15.670 --> 00:13:22.050
There any clumps of grass or weeds there we try to pull them out and get the roots out instead of just turning them under

153
00:13:26.690 --> 00:13:27.810
Well now that we have

154
00:13:28.270 --> 00:13:36.230
Well, here's the here's the time-lapse picture of the rosebud. You'll see them bursting into bloom this and several others, but I

155
00:13:36.230 --> 00:13:41.410
Think I'll just keep quiet for a few minutes and we can all sit back and watch the pictures and listen to the music

156
00:15:26.510 --> 00:15:33.610
Here are some more pictures that I want to show you this is Jean Pfister. Well, his full name is see Eugene Pfister

157
00:15:33.610 --> 00:15:39.210
He's been very active in the American Rose Society and it's been just about everything including its president

158
00:15:40.110 --> 00:15:44.190
But Jean is quite a hybridizer of roses and develops new varieties

159
00:15:44.190 --> 00:15:48.090
You can see first thing he does is to remove the calyx

160
00:15:48.770 --> 00:15:53.110
Then he removes all the petals from a rose that he wants to hybridize

161
00:15:53.110 --> 00:16:00.210
And of course hybridizing is crossing one rose with another that is taking that taking the pollen from the

162
00:16:01.170 --> 00:16:02.990
stamens of one rose and

163
00:16:03.610 --> 00:16:09.790
dusting it on the stigma of another and then planting the seeds that develop and seeing what kind of a new variety

164
00:16:09.790 --> 00:16:11.430
you may get

165
00:16:12.110 --> 00:16:14.310
well, Jean takes a pair of tweezers and

166
00:16:16.010 --> 00:16:17.210
removes the

167
00:16:17.210 --> 00:16:18.850
stamens in this manner

168
00:16:19.470 --> 00:16:23.050
And you notice how he pulls them away from the center

169
00:16:23.050 --> 00:16:28.590
But of course this should be done before the little pollen bearing anthers on the end of open

170
00:16:28.590 --> 00:16:33.550
Because you want to make certain you don't get any of the pollen from the this same flower

171
00:16:33.550 --> 00:16:35.690
that is from the

172
00:16:35.690 --> 00:16:42.950
Stamens of this same flower under the stigma you want to get the pollen from some other rose and then

173
00:16:42.950 --> 00:16:44.730
Develop a new variety in that way

174
00:16:45.370 --> 00:16:53.170
Well, he dips those tweezers and alcohol just to sterilize them and here's a sterile brush and he's taking the pollen that he's

175
00:16:53.970 --> 00:16:57.010
collected from another rose and just

176
00:16:57.010 --> 00:16:58.610
dusts it on all of the

177
00:17:00.030 --> 00:17:01.250
Stigmas there

178
00:17:04.030 --> 00:17:08.330
And then he sterilizes that brush again because when he goes

179
00:17:09.070 --> 00:17:11.590
to hybridize another

180
00:17:11.590 --> 00:17:14.910
Rose he wants to make certain he hasn't got any of the pollen left over from

181
00:17:16.230 --> 00:17:16.750
previous

182
00:17:17.970 --> 00:17:18.930
hybridizing job

183
00:17:19.670 --> 00:17:26.070
Then he puts this little cellophane bag over and labels it keeps track of which roses

184
00:17:26.070 --> 00:17:28.790
Have been used in making this cross

185
00:17:30.510 --> 00:17:32.370
And then after a few months

186
00:17:33.270 --> 00:17:38.930
The seed pod is developed as you see here and when they're ripe and mature and sort of turned red

187
00:17:39.870 --> 00:17:40.390
and

188
00:17:41.070 --> 00:17:42.790
Well, you can tell when they're ripe

189
00:17:43.290 --> 00:17:48.230
Just cut them open. You don't want to cut right through you don't want to cut them in half or you're apt to

190
00:17:49.390 --> 00:17:51.130
Cut many of the seeds

191
00:17:51.810 --> 00:17:55.050
Just kind of cut it enough to break it open

192
00:17:55.770 --> 00:17:58.230
Then you can get the seeds out of the center

193
00:18:02.690 --> 00:18:09.430
Here's one right here several of them those little apples are roses apples are kind of tough sometimes

194
00:18:10.650 --> 00:18:14.310
And then gene plants his seeds and expanded mica

195
00:18:15.970 --> 00:18:18.050
Makes a good

196
00:18:18.050 --> 00:18:20.130
planting medium to use

197
00:18:21.630 --> 00:18:26.790
Just puts them in about a quarter of an inch deep places them around spaces them well apart

198
00:18:27.610 --> 00:18:32.050
Keeps that in his greenhouse and it's not long before he has a lot of little rose plants

199
00:18:32.590 --> 00:18:39.430
And they'll develop and you can see if you've developed a new rose. It's worthwhile trying to continue to propagate

200
00:18:42.950 --> 00:18:47.510
Well, that gives you an idea of hybridizing flowers roses

201
00:18:48.450 --> 00:18:55.370
And how to develop new varieties or how new varieties are developed if you don't want to try it yourself

202
00:18:55.370 --> 00:19:01.150
but I want to show you something else about grafting flowers because most of the

203
00:19:01.150 --> 00:19:08.490
Roses that you get for your garden are grafted. It's kind of fun to do it. You can put various varieties on the same rose

204
00:19:08.490 --> 00:19:13.970
Routes stock if you want to but then something else suppose you've gotten some

205
00:19:15.370 --> 00:19:20.330
roses for some very special occasion a wedding anniversary and

206
00:19:20.330 --> 00:19:27.410
You want to keep them and more or less perpetuate them. Well, you can grab those by taking

207
00:19:29.470 --> 00:19:33.110
One of the roses before it's withered in fact

208
00:19:33.110 --> 00:19:36.890
it's a good idea to do it as soon as you get them while they're still nice and fresh and

209
00:19:37.110 --> 00:19:38.170
right

210
00:19:38.910 --> 00:19:45.610
Right at the leaf axle right here at the node of each a little leaflet. You'll see a bud

211
00:19:45.610 --> 00:19:50.570
Now some of them may be different sizes and you want to select one that's just about

212
00:19:51.510 --> 00:19:56.870
the size of this one then take a pocket knife and

213
00:19:56.870 --> 00:19:58.770
We'll just skin this off now

214
00:20:00.110 --> 00:20:00.710
cut

215
00:20:01.930 --> 00:20:02.610
Oh

216
00:20:02.610 --> 00:20:09.790
About three-quarters of an inch above the bud. Just take a thin layer of that bark right down past the bud

217
00:20:09.790 --> 00:20:14.870
about three-quarters of an inch below it and

218
00:20:16.710 --> 00:20:19.930
Now we're going to graph this onto a root stock

219
00:20:21.030 --> 00:20:27.850
Now the best root stock or grafting these buds is a wild rose

220
00:20:27.850 --> 00:20:29.850
Root stock it's

221
00:20:29.850 --> 00:20:34.130
usually I think Rosa Manetti is used and the

222
00:20:35.090 --> 00:20:40.650
I'll show you just how to make this graph now. It takes your pocket knife and about four or five inches

223
00:20:41.650 --> 00:20:46.130
Up the cane you make a horizontal cut through the bark

224
00:20:46.130 --> 00:20:48.310
Oh about halfway around

225
00:20:48.310 --> 00:20:53.470
but you can do this on other roses that you have growing out in your garden too and

226
00:20:53.470 --> 00:20:55.450
Then from right in the center of that

227
00:20:56.210 --> 00:21:03.850
Make a vertical cut Oh down about two inches and then carefully

228
00:21:06.090 --> 00:21:09.790
Fold that bark back just stick the knife in

229
00:21:10.490 --> 00:21:15.690
And work it back very gently so as not to tear that the bark

230
00:21:16.510 --> 00:21:18.690
And you have to do it both sides

231
00:21:23.290 --> 00:21:23.970
And

232
00:21:23.970 --> 00:21:31.110
When you have that work back and the bark peeled back sufficiently so that you can take this bud

233
00:21:32.610 --> 00:21:36.850
And slip it right down from the top underneath

234
00:21:38.630 --> 00:21:39.990
The two

235
00:21:39.990 --> 00:21:41.430
sections of bark

236
00:21:42.130 --> 00:21:45.430
You'll find it'll slip right in there very easily

237
00:21:45.430 --> 00:21:47.550
Then take some

238
00:21:47.550 --> 00:21:53.190
Raffia some green raffia paper that you can get from most of your garden supply stores

239
00:21:53.190 --> 00:21:59.030
Or if you haven't got any you can use ordinary that adhesive tape and bind that around

240
00:22:00.950 --> 00:22:06.230
Above and below leaving just a little bud sticking out

241
00:22:09.870 --> 00:22:12.370
And then this should

242
00:22:12.370 --> 00:22:18.310
Know I should I might say this shouldn't bloom this year for you it might however

243
00:22:18.310 --> 00:22:20.690
But ordinarily it

244
00:22:20.690 --> 00:22:22.770
Should bloom next year

245
00:22:24.090 --> 00:22:27.910
Now there there's that bud grafted right on there

246
00:22:28.710 --> 00:22:35.590
And there are several things that you can do some people take and bend this top part of the cane over

247
00:22:35.590 --> 00:22:41.990
Just to kind of half break it and that discourages all the growth from going up into the wild rose

248
00:22:41.990 --> 00:22:43.090
and

249
00:22:43.910 --> 00:22:48.870
More of the energy of the plant will be diverted toward this bud and you'll have a new shoot coming out

250
00:22:49.750 --> 00:22:52.270
Then next year next spring

251
00:22:52.270 --> 00:22:56.350
You should cut back the top part of that rose

252
00:22:57.370 --> 00:23:00.010
Completely leaving just the grafted bud

253
00:23:00.590 --> 00:23:03.030
Well that gives you an idea on grafting

254
00:23:03.950 --> 00:23:10.010
and now another message of interest for you, and I'll be right back again to

255
00:23:10.010 --> 00:23:12.990
Show you how to do a cane graft

256
00:23:28.730 --> 00:23:35.570
Well now there's another way that you can grab roses to the bud grafting I think is used more

257
00:23:36.810 --> 00:23:39.130
Widely but you can take a piece of cane

258
00:23:39.810 --> 00:23:44.730
I'll just take this cut one and make a diagonal cut right through it

259
00:23:45.730 --> 00:23:46.070
so

260
00:23:46.910 --> 00:23:48.930
Make it as straight as you can

261
00:23:49.930 --> 00:23:56.010
So that it'll be about an inch and a half to two inches long. Well you do the same with another

262
00:23:57.310 --> 00:24:03.130
With what you want to graft on here. You could take one of these roses that you have from the florist

263
00:24:03.150 --> 00:24:10.590
Of course, it's best to do it when it's not in full flower like that. It's just some new top growth and

264
00:24:12.970 --> 00:24:20.090
You have another piece of rose that fits right on there and take some of your raffia paper and

265
00:24:21.290 --> 00:24:22.990
bind that very tightly

266
00:24:23.610 --> 00:24:28.810
Well, this is a this is a more difficult type of graph to make it is done

267
00:24:28.810 --> 00:24:33.130
But I would recommend that you do the bud grafting. That's that's much easier

268
00:24:33.150 --> 00:24:40.610
And your chances of success are much higher. But this is another type of graph that I wanted to show you

269
00:24:44.210 --> 00:24:46.230
Now I have a little booklet that I

270
00:24:47.010 --> 00:24:51.230
Like to tell you about it's one that's put out by the American Rose Society

271
00:24:52.190 --> 00:24:53.810
you see the

272
00:24:53.810 --> 00:24:58.790
The men's garden clubs all over the country carry on a rose testing program

273
00:24:58.790 --> 00:25:05.970
There are about 80 clubs in 80 different cities around the country and they get the various growers that are bringing out new varieties

274
00:25:05.970 --> 00:25:12.850
To ship them sample or some of the new rose plants when they're first brought out

275
00:25:12.850 --> 00:25:18.910
and then these various men all around the country test them and they rate them for hardiness and color and

276
00:25:18.910 --> 00:25:23.830
Fragrance and a lot of other things and they all report back they test them for two years

277
00:25:23.830 --> 00:25:30.990
If you want to get a the results of those tests the American Rose Society makes up this little guide for

278
00:25:31.590 --> 00:25:32.550
buying roses

279
00:25:32.550 --> 00:25:36.310
Where they've compiled the results of all those various tests

280
00:25:36.310 --> 00:25:40.170
But you're done by the leading amateur growers all over the country

281
00:25:40.170 --> 00:25:47.290
And you'll find that this is very helpful to you and getting new roses because the ones that are rated high here

282
00:25:47.290 --> 00:25:50.390
Certainly should grow for you in any part of the country

283
00:25:50.390 --> 00:25:55.590
Then they also put out a little guide for beginners on growing roses that have many

284
00:25:56.490 --> 00:26:04.510
helpful hints and these two little leaflets are free if you'll just send your name and address into the American Rose Society at

285
00:26:05.290 --> 00:26:12.610
Columbus, Ohio, they'll be glad to send them to you and I know that you'll find them very helpful. I

286
00:26:12.610 --> 00:26:14.370
Guess our time is just about up now

287
00:26:14.930 --> 00:26:22.670
Be sure to come around for our next regular get-together here in the old tool shed and I'll try to have some more helpful hints

288
00:26:22.670 --> 00:26:24.010
for you

289
00:26:44.370 --> 00:26:44.550
You
