Attar Of Roses And Rose-leaf: The Selective Shopper on the Prowl The Grand Bazaar of Istanbul is beyond comparison with other Mediterranean and Near-East bazaars, even those of Damascus and Cairo. It is a prodigious labyrinth, all under cover, of a multitude of wares, from pure gold, literally millions of dollars' worth of it in every form of jewelry—but alas no gold may be legally exported from Turkey—to attar of roses and rose-leaf liqueurs, to hand-painted ceramics, to meerschaum masterpieces, to Bursa silks and hand-made embroideries, to Rugs in their thousands—you may export two of any size-to acres of furniture that must have been brought in by magic, since then is obviously no human means of getting such big stuff through the Bazaar' tortuous alleys.
It is possible to simplify the pruning of these roses by ' categorizing them into three groups—although there are many types that do not fit into this classification.
• Species roses (but not climbers) and their close hybrids
• Japanese or Ramanas rose, (R. rugosa) and hybrids
• Burnet rose (R. sp/nos/ss/mo) and hybrids
• The French rose (R. gallicd)
• Hybrid Musks
RIGHT: deep-pink blooms of the hybrid perpetual rose, "Ferdinand Pichard."
Before planting, cut off coarse and weak roots. Also shorten damaged and unripe shoots. During the first and second years, cut out a few old shoots in winterSee Also Compass Roses Printed:To facilitate the measurement of direction, most charts have one or more compass roses printed on them. These consist of two or three concentric circles, several inches in diameter, subdivided by degrees with labels around the circumference. The outer circle has its zero at true north and is indicated by a star symbol.
The
next inner circle is oriented on magnetic north, and is indicated by an arrow over its zero point. There may be a third, inner circle sub¬divided according to an older system of "points"—32 points make a full circle. The difference between the orientation of the true and magnetic circles is termed magnetic variation, abbreviated "Var." Each compass rose contains a statement of the variation for that general area of a chart, with a date and rate of any annual change.
The basic "error" of a compass is called variation, defined as the difference at any location between true directions and magnetic directions as measured by a compass unaffected by local influences. (Although the term is common, it is not truly an "error," but an unavoidable condition.) Variation is different for different locations on the earth; at each location it is nearly constant, but does change very slightly over the years. Variation will be either east or west, and must be labeled "E" or " W" as appropriate; it can be as much as 60° in extreme locations. The amount of variation in any area is indicated on charts by compass roses (see Chapter 5, "Charts"). Variation is the same for all vessels in a given area.
On The Other Hand See Creeping Roses:Seaside bent is a type of creeping roses bent that can be raised from seeds (sowing rate four to eight ounces to 1,000 square feet) and produces a good turf almost as uniform as Metropolitan and Washington creeping roses bents. Its leaves are bluish green and it forms a tight turf. It is strongly creeping roses.
Several kinds of creeping roses or trailing junipers are grand bank covers for full sun. They thrive in poor soils, pro¬vided they are well drained. They are evergreen. Among the best junipers are horizontalis, Bar Harbor, Waukegan and chinensis sargentii. Two trailing roses are excellent for covering sunny banks, Max Graf and the memorial rose (Rosa wichuraiana). |
