C. C. Hillary, Perth. W. A.  The Behaviour of Roses.
It is surprising how the behaviour of roses differs from one year to another. Not all of them, perhaps, exhibit as much change as others, but there are few which do not show some variation, subtle though it may be. I am prompted to write this by the rather pronounced changes I have noticed in the behaviour of many roses in my garden this spring. I dare say the kind of weather which precedes the flowering and that prevailing during flowering has most to do with these changes, but feeding also, I think, has some effect, especially on some kinds of roses. One rose in particular which suggests this to me is Charles Gregory.
In my garden I have a bed of Charles Gregory containing eight bushes. They have always grown well previously on a diet composed mainly of grass clippings from a creeping bent lawn, plus a few handfuls to each plant of a mixture composed of equal parts of blood and bone and a complete artificial fertiliser known in this State as "potato manure (E)".
This year, in August, about three weeks after the annual winter pruning, thinking I was doing the plants a great favour, the bed was dressed with compost, fowl manure and a little sulphate of potash. The response in growth was excellent, but all of the first crop of flowers, while large and well formed, had bleached petals. Instead of the usual attractive red and orange-flushed base, much of the colouring was a washed-out rather insipid blend of pinkish-red. Later flowers came out with normal colouring, so I am inclined to think that it was the excess nitrogen in the fowl manure which caused this early misbehaviour.
