Named for fighters: Gladiolus flowers got their name because the leaves of the plant were shaped like a sword and made them think of the Roman gladiators.
Planting roses:To plant roses which have been obtained from a nursery first water the rose, and then remove it from the pot. If the rose is in a paper pot cut off the bottom and remove the sidewalls so that the fine, new white feeder roots of the growing plant might be preserved. Roses with most fragrance: The most fragrant roses listed at a web forum named the Double Delight, Fragrant Cloud, Mr. Lincoln, Crimson Glory, Chrysler Imperial, Papa Meilland, Perfume Delight, Secret, Gertrude Jekyll, Othello, Felicite Parmentier, Mme. Hardy, Sombreuil, Souvenir de la Malmasion, and Souvenir du Dr Jamain.
