Britain outdoes the United States
in her vehicular population — 55.3
vehicles per road mile, while the Unit-
ed States had a low in the world of
25.5 p«r road mile .“. . British experts
have warned’that the number of cars
will double in the 1970s and treble in
the 1980s and after that, they say, -
there will be 84^ many cars that traf
fic will come to a standstill . . . Lon-
don is going to help remedy this situa-
tion by banning about 40,000 cars
from the central part of the city . . .
how? you ask, by a very simple meth-
od . 40,000 parking spaces will be
eliminated ... If we in the United
States have more land area for few-
er cars than Britain, how come park-
ing spots in a lot of downtown areas
already seem to be eliminated?

'To most home
cedure of naming a rose is a mystery;
but in fact, the general public has a
much larger hand in naming roses
than most of us wtAtld assume. The
prime example — though we rarely
hear about it — is the nationwide test
panel of home gardners conducted by
the Jackson & Perkins Company of
Newark, New York. This panel grows
unnamed test plants for the company
and submits name suggestions along
with their evaluations.
Even with all this assistance from
the gardening public, J & P estimates
that the process of finding a^name,
and finally introducing a rose with
the title, may take up to ten years.
Once a choice has been made, the pro-
cess moves into the really important
part. Each rose name must be cleared
with an international rose registra-
tion committee . . this is intended
tp eliminate duplication of names and
avoid international confusion.
The American Rose Society acts as
world-wide clearing house for all
prospective rose names. It cooperates
with five other registration centers
in France, Australia,- Italy, England
and Holland . . . Hybridists and
.nurserymen submit their proposed
new rose names to one of these cen-
ters . . . the major requirement for
clearance is that the name must not
have been used for a rose since 1913
When the registration began publica-
tion.
Sometimes a rose may be known by
two names — one in the United States
and another in Europe . . . There is
a Movement on foot to release for re-
use, names, of roses which have been
extinct or unavailable for 30 years or
more but at the present time the
name must never have been used.
* Most of the more obvious rose names
have long since been used — J & P
estimated that it received close to
10,000 suggestions for rose names
each year. In the past ten years,
J & P has used suggestions by home
gardners eight times in naming their
annual Rose of the Year.
The 1969 Rose of the Year, "Proud
Land," was named by Mrs. Robert
Hazen of Racine, Wisconsin . . . To
select this name, J & P sifted through
literally thousands of reports from
the test panel — four separate times.
•These four siftings were used to
break the suggestions into groups by
“type” of name . . . usually they say,
name suggestions will naturally fall
into two or three distinct categories.
Most common are names denoting col-
or • second are names denoting
fragrance. In some years, preference
is shown for exotic names as was in
the case of 1962 and 1966 when test
panel members contributed the names
of Hawaii, South Seas, Polynesian
Sunset, Mexican and Valencia.
The 1969 names submitted, however,
developed a very unusual trend . . .
suggestions for this bright red hy-
brid tea rose included an abundance of
“patriotic” titles such as “Old Glory,’’
“Uncle Sam,” Liberty Bell,” “Ameri-
ca’s Pride,, etc. Mrs. Hazen’s sugges-
tion of “Proud Land” was chosen from
this category. For the first time in
test panel history, nearly a third of
all suggestions submitted were classi-
fied in this group.
