President Donald Trump signed an executive order last week ending his administration's controversial "zero tolerance" immigration policy that separated children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border. Meanwhile, there's been no information about what will happen to the more than 2,000 children already separated from their families. The Political Junkie Ken Rudin explains the various political reactions to the immigration policy and what might happen next.

Points on Pets: Putting an old dog to sleep
by R.G. Elmore, D.V.M.
Q: How will we know when it is the right time to put our old dog to sleep? She is nearly 14 years old. She has a lot of trouble getting around and recently has lost control of her bladder. However, she appears to be happy and we cannot tell that she is experiencing any pain. We all get depressed when we think or talk about our dog's eventual death, but we know that she cannot live with us forever. Can we be present when our veterinarian gives her the injection?
A: Deciding when to put a faithful pet to sleep is one of the hardest decisions pet owners have to make. Owners often feel a great amount of anxiety and some guilt while making this decision. However, most pet owners just sense when the time is right. When there is no hope of recovery or an inability to function, pets show it in their eyes. Euthanasia is the last gift we can give to a loving pet.
Most veterinarians allow the owners to be present while euthanasia is performed. If your veterinarian will not allow you to be present, you should ask for a referral to a veterinarian who will follow your wishes. It is important to make the last minutes of your dog's life as comfortable as possible. Your presence will make the dog feel more at ease.
The euthanasia procedure should not be painful or stressful for your dog. Most veterinarians simply administer an overdose of a potent anesthetic solution intravenously. This causes the dog to lose consciousness while the heart stops beating and allows the dog to die peacefully without a struggle. Sometimes the muscles of the bladder relax and the dog urinates and defecates involuntarily during the procedure. If your dog is excitable, your veterinarian might ask you to give her a tranquilizer hidden in a favorite treat a few hours before the procedure.
It is important that you decide how to handle the body before euthanasia is performed. Making decisions at the time can be difficult.
It is normal to be upset following the loss of a pet. You should allow yourself to go through the grieving process. Your veterinarian can help you locate a grief counselor if you want to speak to one.
Q: Would it be a mistake to accept a free purebred puppy with a cleft palate as a pet for our children? We plan to have the puppy spayed since we do not want puppies. We have never had a dog with this disorder in the past.
A: Most puppies with surgically corrected cleft palates make excellent pets. The surgery prevents the abnormal passage of food and fluids between cavities of the mouth and nose. Since cleft palate is a genetic disease, you are doing the right thing in having her spayed. Many puppies with this defect die of pneumonia after getting food particles lodged in their lungs.
Before accepting the puppy and bonding with her, you should have your veterinarian conduct a thorough physical examination to be sure that there are no other congenital defects present. Your veterinarian can also advise you regarding the care of your new family member.

WASHINGTON -- President-elect Barack Obama's swearing-in could be a boon for Said Rangbar, among hundreds of people hoping to cash in on Inauguration Day.
The Washington street hot dog stand vendor plans to stock up his cart with food and drinks for the throngs of people expected to pack the nation's capital for Obama's swearing-in.
He's among dozens who have applied for a limited number of vending spaces in a D.C. government lottery and some are already grumbling about the scheduling of the lottery. Each space is only 10 feet by 10 feet, but carries the promise of a big payback.
"I hope the lottery gives me a good spot," said Rangbar, who's been vending in downtown D.C. for several years.
There will be 700 vending sites near the inaugural parade route and another 1,000 around the city. That's up from about 100 spaces the government gave out for the 2005 inauguration.
"It's much much larger than anything we've had before," said Shana Kemp, a spokeswoman for the D.C. Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs.
Vendors hope that heightened interest in witnessing the country's first black president will translate into dollars. (Don't be surprised if they double prices.)
Cornelius Williams already sells Obama T-shirts, watches, calendars, pens, hats and tote bags at his stall near the commuter-heavy Metro Center station. He plans to order more products from a D.C. wholesaler in time for the inauguration.
"You got a chance to really make some money," he said. "I'm trying to get over the hump just like everybody else."
What could be more American than that? Well, not the Obama products Williams sells.
"The plants where they make all of these things are probably overseas," he said. "All the labels say 'Made in China.' What can you do? That's what big business has decided to do ... jobs are in other countries because labor is cheaper."
People have until Dec. 30 to apply for the lottery, which will give preference to local vendors. Results come out Jan. 6.
D.C. officials say those caught selling products without permits face penalties. But they admit it may be difficult to monitor the entire city.
Some vendors are upset by the city's regulations. They say fees are too high and that several designated vending spots will be in out-of-the-way areas.
Brenda Sayles, a vending advocate who also is a part-time vendor, said sellers are in a bind. They don't find out whether they get a spot until two weeks before the inauguration, so either they stock up before products run out, or they wait to get a guaranteed spot and risk there being nothing left.
"There's a lot of discontent," she said. "Your whole planning process is being put on hold."
Vending advocate groups plan to hold a rally on Monday at the city's consumer affairs department to voice their concerns.

I successfully ran my Greyhawk Hero game for the second time, the first being at KublaCon 2017. I even had a return player (The Monk). I started this game at the point where the last game ended and the players managed to complete the scenario. I should mention that I was sick as the proverbial dog when I ran (I warned my players at the start), and be the end I could barely talk. Still, everyone seemed to have a good time.
I had to re-write most of the characters for this run as I had previously decided to change the way I was doing spell writeups. I wanted a more "D&D" feel and so went with Delayed Effect and spell "slots". I think it worked well.

From one queen to another.
Erykah Badu dropped a special track "Phone Down" late last year, which eventually made its way to the charts giving the timeless talent her 10th top 10 record. Now, DeJ Loaf is attacking with a style of her own in the remix.
We all know how many talented MCs have come out of the Detroit area – Eminem, Royce and Big Sean to name a few but how many females have you seen from the city hold their own like Ms. Dej has thus far? Her unique voice and style has set her apart from day one, making us all anxious to see what the debut will sound like after feeding us two quality mixtapes and a gang of hot features so far. No sense in scrolling your timeline looking for updates: 1) we got you covered and 2) she'll make you put your phone down anyway.

Did you know our son speaks Kiswahili? Does he?
"Oh, I hear you guys live in Kenya."
"Yes, and Caleb speaks Kiswahili."
"Oh, what's it like in Kenya?"
"We love it. And Caleb speaks Kiswahili."
"Can I start you folks off with something to drink?"
"Just water, but did you know that our son speaks Kiswahili?"
Partly we're proud because he's learned it so effortlessly even as we struggle to speak it ourselves. He picked it up in a matter of weeks simply playing with his Kenyan playmates in Busia, a small Kenyan border town. His spongy toddler brain simply absorbed the language. He didn't even drill verb tenses or use flashcards, the little scamp.
Partly it's because his fluency made us feel so much more part of the country. As expats, you are always somewhat on the periphery. But we came to Kenya to learn about and feel part of another culture. We're clumsy at it most of the time, but committed to avoiding being trapped in the expat bubble. Caleb's fluency in Kiswahili is a reminder and symbol of that.
Partly, let's be honest, it's because of the "cool factor." We can all agree that, in certain circles, there's a cache around bilingual children, and especially when it's a lesser known language or one that you are simply not expecting the child to speak - like my friend's little blond children who speak fluent Mandarin. So, it became something of a parlor trick that Caleb spoke Swahili, and it ingratiated us to Kenyans who found it equally unexpected or simply hilarious.
Notice I said "spoke" - as in the past tense.
Well, apparently just as quickly as children pick up languages, they forget them. And 2 months in the US without being surrounded by Kiswahili has completely wiped his knowledge in as stunning a fashion as he once learned it.
When I try out some phrases I'm met with blank stares. The other day over dinner, in an effort to refamiliarize him, I said, "Caleb, chakula ni tamu?" (Caleb, is the food sweet? Kenyans say "sweet" the way we say "good" in reference to food.)
He simply stared at me. Blinked his eyes a few times. Colin and I exchanged glances. How was this possible!?!?
Then.... glimmer of recognition passed over Caleb's face. He seemed to be getting it. So, he said in response: "Chapula be kaka" and then burst out laughing. "Chapula be kaka" means.... NOTHING. It's gibberish. You see, my Kiswahili was so unrecognizable he thought we were playing a game of "let's speak nonsense and then giggle."
But that was a few days ago. He's slowly starting to remember as he interacts with more Kenyans. He still doesn't respond in Swahili and apparently some of it still sounds like gibberish to him, but when I ask him to do something in Swahili, he'll follow the instruction. Without thinking Caleb will put his shoes in the corner when I ask him to "weka viatu kwa corner."
Still, I fear that the Swahili fluency might be a thing of the past. Now that we are in a larger city, there are more English speaking playmates (both Kenyan and expats) and even the Kenayan school he attends - he's the only non-Kenyan - have lessons taught in English. So, his accented and fluent Swahili just might might be history along with our insufferable bragging rights.

The whole beginning of this made me crack up! Because he spoke swahili!ReplyDelete
Wish I could pick up that darn Spanish the way Caleb did swahili! It's so much easier when you're a child. I still give you bragging rights!Replies
Thanks Gina! I wish I could pick up ANY language with the ease of a 3 year old. Though I kind of feel a little superior now since I actually remember it. It's cool though, he still has time to pick up several more languages before his mind slows to my pace. ; )Delete
This is fascinating. My youngest is about to switch from an English-language preschool to a full Chinese one, and I'm excited by how quickly her Cantonese will pick up. But even without that, I too am stunned by how quickly they are integrating Chinese phrases into our English life. Both of them will say "mo ah" instead of "no" in response to questions now, or just chuck in other random words or affectations. I mean just within our own family, not among neighbours or Chinese-speaking friends. I had started to wonder how long this stuff will stick when we eventually leave Asia. Let's make our kids a social experiment ;) I'm sure Caleb picked up Swahili again in about two days, right? Jambu! (About the only thing I remember from my THREE MONTHS in Kenya/Tanzania when I was 19).ReplyDelete

Ah, I love your honesty about how it really is "cool" these days to have a bilingual child - esp if that language is a less common one like Kiswahili! You'll have to keep us posted on how his language use continues to develop!ReplyDelete
Your blog posts are more interesting and impressive. I think there are many people like and visit it regularly, including me.I actually appreciate your own position and I will be sure to come back here.ReplyDelete

The case is Carter v. Village of Ocean Beach, decided on July 21. The plaintiffs are police officers who worked for the Village. They filed suit in federal court against a variety of defendants on a variety of claims, including First Amendment retaliation, Equal Protection and state Labor Law and Civil Service Law violations. On the eve of trial, plaintiffs withdrew a variety of claims, leaving only claims under the First Amendment, the Due Process Clause and state law. Before trial started, the district court dismissed the federal claims on summary judgment, and the state law claims went to state court, which dismissed the claims at the pleadings stage.
The County defendants then moved for sanctions, claiming that plaintiffs had no right to sue them. Sanctions are rarely awarded against plaintiffs, but the district court agreed with the County and awarded more than $60,000 in sanctions under Section 1988. Plaintiffs had no business suing the County defendants, who did not employ plaintiffs and did not take any adverse action against them. Plaintiffs tried to connect the County with their misfortune by arguing that a civil service analyst, Sanchez, said and did bad things to them when they complained that the Police Chief was not properly certified under Civil Service Law. As the Court of Appeals (Jacobs, Calabresi and Livingston) sees it:
Allegations against all four County Defendants center on Sanchez. But the factual allegations regarding her role are immaterial to Plaintiffs' legal theories: After Plaintiffs had already been terminated by the Village Defendants, Sanchez allegedly (1) listened to Plaintiffs' complaints, defended Hesse, and told him about the conversation; and (2) posted on an Internet board, without naming anyone, that the posts complaining about Hesse were "revenge posting" and "crap." This is not the stuff of litigation. All of Plaintiffs' claims center around two basic wrongs, improper termination and (to a lesser degree) defamation; Sanchez had no meaningful role in either.
For you civil procedure junkies, there is an interesting holding in this case. Plaintiffs argued that the County was not entitled to sanctions because they voluntarily dismissed frivolous claims and the County therefore was not a prevailing party on those claims and was thus not entitled to sanctions. Their argument relies on a Second Circuit ruling from 1980 that no longer seems to be good law, silently overturned by other federal Circuits and the Supreme Court. In 2000, the Supreme Court said in Buckhannon v. West Virginia that a judgment is necessary to win attorneys' fees. The defendants here got that judgment when plaintiffs voluntarily withdrew their claims with prejudice, which constitutes "an adjudication on the merits." While Buckhannon did not say that in the context of sanctions under Section 1988, the Court of Appeals applies it in this context.

Here at Wall Climber we want to get people climbing; whether that's by installing walls, giving advice, running climbing sessions, or supplying the bits and bobs people need to build their own walls.
Based in Sheffield (the UK's climbing capital) we are in a good position to build walls all over the country. We have a workshop here where we build and prepare our climbing walls before installing them on site.
Climbing is becoming more and more popular for people of all ages, is a great sport and training, still many people like to train at home with equipment as the amazon vibrating foam roller and going running. In particular, bouldering is a style of climbing that's catching on. Bouldering usually involves low level climbing and traversing without the need for ropes, harnesses and gismos – newcomers can get straight on to the wall with less hassle and can start developing skills and strength.
Give us a call and we'll tell you some more, and answer any questions you might have.

Vicarious pleasures are still pleasurable. For hours last night I sat following twitter feeds coming out of Tokyo's massive anti-nuclear demonstration, and getting the thrilled sense that this marked not just a new phase in this campaign, but an opening in changes in Japanese politics more broadly. It's been a long time since a demonstration this large in Japan and, crucially, longer since one with this kind of spirit and resilience. Like the ANPO struggle of a generation ago, we may be witnessing the development of a campaign that goes on to question the wider priorities and problems of the social order.
The scale of the mobilization is worth marveling at: 60 000 people rallied - there are good reports from the Japan Times, and the Communist Party's Red Flag newspaper, as well as from the Asahi - and contingents represented much of the country. Chie Matsumoto from LaborNet Japan reported big union groupings, representatives from Okinawa, international delegations, and youth groups.
There'll be further reports and analysis in the following days no doubt, and the eye-witness accounts will be more useful than my summary from here. For now, though, two initial remarks.
For starters, the feeling matters: this looks like a social movement in the ascendant. I've written earlier about the 'politicisation from below' of the aftermath to the disaster. Add to this the conscious joyousness of the protestors yesterday and other times these last months; the presence of children on these demonstrations, the more ragged and sporadic chants, the colour and variety of banners and slogans. These might seem like trivial details but, against the sometimes stifling habits of traditional Japanese protest - which contain within themselves reminders of decades of defeat and setback, to say nothing of the disasters of the 1970s - this new look promises new energy and initiative.
(Part of that new energy was summarized for me in a beautiful tweet of Matsumoto-san's when she mentioned that some demonstrators were chanting わっしょい! わっしょい! This is a phrase from the world of festivals and rowdy crowds; it signals the distance from tradition - and the exhuberance - of this new movement, and I like to think of it as the presence in this protest of the Anthems from Nowhere).
A new movement, crucially, means new activists: much less well publicized have been smaller demonstrations - some violently attacked by the police - in the week leading up to this monster rally. It's commonplace to bemoan the apolitical, disenchanted, atomized sub-cultures of Japanese youth; the daring and drive for the anti-nuclear movement are coming from precisely those areas an older leftism has disdained or marginalized.
This sociology - or wider politics - of the movement is my second, and more provisional, point. David H Slater has edited a fascinating special issue of Cultural Anthropology. "New alliances are being built" he argues, and fear and anger, and possibility and hope, are the themes his contributors explore. Yoshitaka Mōri insists that official slogans of Japan's unity in fact reveal social fractures - of class, of region, of access to resources - and, most importantly for yesterday's demonstrations, Love Kindstrand links some of the developments in the movement to both new political formations, and to changes in Japanese capitalism:
Phrased in the precariat movement's insistence on exploitation, this critique is being carefully reconstituted as we speak, rekindling a bond between political engagement and everyday life, and instilling a sense of political agency in Japan's neglected youth that will be not easily dismissed.
This account feels convincing, and the aesthetics and flaboyance of the anti-nuclear movement - its music, its youth, to say nothing of some of its key activists - link to the 'precariat' unions and 'New New Left' that has emerged in the last decade.
David H Slater comments:
For those familiar with an older generation of protests, the differences are rather striking. First, the protests themselves employ a visual and auditory rhetoric, drawn from the European "precarity" movement--spontaneous, chaotic, playful, ironic, cultural and creative but also direct, uncompromising, and often in more vulgar language. Obviously, these events are more fun to be at than those deadly serious labor events many us attended in what seem like another Japan, the "robot marches" (in the words of one of my old lefty teachers) where we all were shouting "hantai" in unison and half-heartedly pumping our fist on command […] And just as the labor marches of earlier periods were a reflection of the institutionalized organization of labor then, so do these events reflect today's labor: flexible/fragmented, opportunistic, situational; young, diffuse and short-term.
New questions from a new movement will, as always, provoke reflection on some old question and old answers too. In their - understandable - response to their neglect by the established labour movement, how will these new, youthful formations reflect upon the questions of alliances with other union groupings? How will the question of politics come up in this movement? How, given the obvious bankruptcy of both the DPJ and LDP, and the complicity and corruption of TEPCO and the political class, will this movement talk about state power, capitalism, economics and ecology? What links are there between Japan's long economic stagnation, its place in the US empire, and the worries of the anti-nuclear movement?
The exhilarating feeling now is that these are questions that can usefully be posed, and that a new generation will be able to answer. I've got friends who've been working tirelessly to build these rallies, and others who made it along as one of the first political acts they've ever done.
This is the mass movement Japan so desperately needs and, whatever the inevitable crises and assaults on it ahead, it's a beautiful sight.
There are some good photographs in the Mainichi Shinbun's site here. Read the other Cultural Anthropology pieces here. Thanks to David H Slater for some very useful links. LaborNet have some great photos up on their site too. There's a brief video clip on NHK - as astonishing for its presence as for any great coverage it offers - and you can see that here.

Marc Faber : We have Bubbles in Everything, Everywhere
"we have a bubble in everything, everywhere," soon after the Dow Jones and the S&P 500 ended the day's trading session at new all-time highs."The big surprise will be that the global economy slows down and goes into recession. And that will shock markets," said Faber, who added that there would be dire straits and a lack of confidence in the economies of the world if governments and central banks can't recovery even with all of the money pumping by the Fed.
Marc Faber is an international investor known for his uncanny predictions of the stock market and futures markets around the world.Dr. Doom also trades currencies and commodity futures like Gold and Oil.

'Fruitvale Station' Duo Ryan Coogler And Michael B. Jordan Team With Sylvester Stallone On 'Rocky' Spinoff, 'Creed'!!!by Gumbercules9000 on Jul 24th, 2013
Hi, Bryan Here….
In what might be the best news of the day, MGM has set director Ryan Coogler along with actor Michael B. Jordan in developing a spinoff 'Rocky' film called 'Creed'. Don't worry, Sly Stallone will reprise Rocky again as a retired boxer, now trainer for Apollo Creed's grandson, which will be played by Jordan. Coogler and Jordan most recently collaborated on the amazing film 'Fruitvale Station', which you can read that review HERE.
Coogler wants this to be his second film and we hear things are moving quickly to lock everyone down for their roles. Coogler and Aaron Covington will write the screenplay. So, a 7th 'Rocky' movie, huh? I'd be up for that, especially since this talent is involved. The story will play out as Apollo's (Carl Weathers) grandson, who was raised in a wealthy environment, due to his grandfather's success thinking about getting into the ring. His grandson doesn't have to fight, nor does his family want him to, but the talent has seemed to have been passed down to him and he feels like he has to fight. so he enlists the help of Rocky, who is not so eager to return.
It sounds like a decent enough story to me. If you remember, Balboa was Creed's best opponent in the 'Rocky' films, which later, they became best friends, until the evil Russian Drago (Dolph Lundgren) killed him in a fight. It seems like Coogler is going back to the roots on this one, which is a good thing. This film is high on my radar, and I can't wait to hear more about this project.
I wonder if there will be the famous training sequence with the song 'Gonna Fly Now', or that infamous one in 'Rocky III' with Creed and Balboa running on the beach and slapping each other. Either way, count me in.
Your thoughts?

My final bucket-list post features the wonderful rose gardens of Italy and Germany, starting with one of the most famous romantic rose gardens of all time:
Ninfa (Giardini di Ninfa)
Via Provinciale Ninfina, 68, 04012 Cisterna di Latina LT, Italy Near Sermonetta
Ninfa has been described as one of the 10 most beautiful gardens in the world. In fact, Monty Don states in his video, Italian Gardens (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Y8wh7Xqw7U, at the 2:48:20-2:56:0 mark), that he considers it to be THE most romantic garden in the world!
It is located in the province of Latina, 40 miles south-west of Rome (one hour drive), at the foot of the Lepina Mountains, from which numerous springs run down to form a small lake, which feeds into a river, which runs through the centre of the town, which was surrounded by marshlands.
Ninfa was an ancient Etruscan town, founded in the 8th Century, by the Volscians and named after a small temple near the springs, dedicated to the Nymph goddess, Ninfa. During the Middle Ages, it was a rich merchant stopover between Rome and Naples on the Appian Way. It included a 12th century castle; seven churches; palazzos; medieval clock towers; a town hall, mills, bakeries, a blacksmith; a 1400 metre long defensive wall, bridges, two hospices; and 2000 people living in 150 homes. It was acquired by the Caetani family in 1298.
In 1381, the town was sacked by mercenaries and pillaged by neighbouring towns during a civil war, caused by a schism in the Roman Catholic Church. Attempts to resettle were thwarted by outbreaks of malaria and gradually, the town was abandoned and overgrown with ivy and weeds. It lay sleeping for six centuries, still attracting the odd visitor for its melancholic air, like Edward Lear in 1840, who also described it as one of the most romantic visions in Italy.
In 1921, Gelasio Caetani, the second youngest son of Prince Onorata Caetani and his English-born wife, Ada Wilbraham, drained the marshes; cleared the undergrowth, weeds and ivy; restored some of the medieval buildings, in particular, the tower and town hall, for a Summer residence; and started a garden in the romantic English Landscape style.
His sister-in-law, Marguerite Chapin (1880-1963), who was married to musician, Roffredo Caetani, in 1911, planted on a grand scale with thousands of trees and shrubs, imported from from all over the world, including fastigiate cypress, Chamaecyparis sempervirens; holm oaks (Quercus ilex); poplars; beeches; crab apples; prunus; magnolias; camellias; rhododendrons; and roses. Their daughter Leila continued her work after World War II, leaving the garden to the Roffredo Caetani Foundation.
While the whole park is 105 hectares (260 acres), the garden is 8 hectares (20 acres) and is managed organically by a curator and six full-time gardeners. It is only open 25 days a year between April and October and attracts 70 000 visitors a year. Guided tours of up to 20 visitors are conducted on a prescribed path 10 to 15 minutes apart and last 1.5 hours. It is best in April and May for rose lovers!
It is a gorgeous wild garden, which thrives with the rich well-drained moist soil, benign Winter temperatures and hot Summers. Plants ramble over ruined towers, walls and archways and overhang the stream.
Other trees include: Stone pine, Pinus pinea; Judas trees; Ribbonwood, Hoheria sexstylosa (New Zealand); wattles; birch; hawthorne; liquidambars; Persian Silk Tree , Albizia julibrissin; Dragon's Claw Willow, Salix matsudana 'Tortuosa'; walnuts; weeping cherries; maples like Acer griseum; Himalayan and Mexican Pines; American walnuts; Gingko biloba; Catalpas; Dogwoods; Casuarina tenuissima; and banana trees.
Other shrubs include: bamboos; papyrus; buddleja; viburnums; smoke bush, Cotinus coggygria 'Flame'; Photinia serrulata; lavenders andMagnolia stellata.
Climbers include Clematis armandi; star jasmine, Trachelospermum jasminoides; Wisteria floribunda 'Macrobotrys' and climbing hydrangea, H. petiolaris.
Hazelnuts; Acer saccharinum; Liriodendron tuilpifera, Arum lilies, Iris and Gunnera manicata line the river.
Other plantings include: Salvias; lilies; cannas; anemones; alliums; Iris; Acanthis mollis; and ferns.
The rock garden contains Iberis; Eschscholzia; Veronica; Golden Alyssum; Aquilegia; Dianthus and Pomegranates.
There are over 200 different roses including: a hedge of 100 plants of R. roxburghii plena; R. hugonis; R. bracteata; American Pillar; Banksia rose; R. filipes 'Kiftsgate'; Rambling Rector; Paul's Himalayan Musk; Mme Alfred Carrière and Gloire de Dijon; Général Schablikine; Mutabilis; Complicata; Iceberg; Max Graf; The Garland; Desprez à Fleurs Jaunes; Seagull; Comtesse du Cayla; Dr W Van Fleet; Cramoisi Supérieur; R. brunonii 'La Mortola'; Rêve d'Or; David Austin roses and Hybrid Musks: Penelope; Vanity; Ballerina and Buff Beauty. Penelope is such a beautiful romantic rose, I have chosen it as my feature photo for Ninfa (see below)!
Ninfa is on the flyway for migrating birds between Africa and Europe and 152 birds have been sighted. In 1976, under the auspices of the World Wildlife Fund (WWF), 2000 acres were set aside for a wildlife sanctuary with brush plantings and the creation of more wetlands, as well as re-establishing 15 ha (37 acres) of native vegetation. The river contains brown and Mediterranean trout populations.
If you would like to read more about Ninfa, Charles Quest-Ritson wrote Ninfa: the Most Romantic garden in the World in 2009.Because I adore the rose Mutabilis, I would have to include La Landriana on my bucket list!
La Landriana
Via Campo di Carne, 51, 00040, Tor San Lorenzo, Ardea (Roma)
A few kilometres from Rome, in the city of Ardea, this 10 ha garden is owned by the Marquise Lavinia Tavernain, who started it from scratch in 1956. She commissioned Sir Russell Page to design a series of themed rooms, arranged in a geometric pattern.
There are 23 different areas in the garden with many Australian and South African plants due to the maritime Mediterranean climate. They are separated by clipped hedges of Buxus sempervirens; Viburnum tinus and Laurus nobilis.
The house is covered in climbers including roses: R. laevigata; R. banksiae lutea; and R. bracteata 'Mermaid', as well as Solanum jasminoides; Solanum crispa; Vitis coignetiae and Vitis 'Brant'.
There is a pergola covered with Wisteria sinensis and Rosa bracteata, as well as a lily pool and a water fountain.
It is worth consulting the map on the website for an idea of the different garden areas, but for this post, I will be concentrating on the roses, of which there are 350 different varieties, contained mainly in the Rooms of the Rose; the White Walk; the Antique Rose Valley; and Valley of Roses Mutabilis.
Rooms of the Rose: Hundreds of plants of Bonica 82 are planted beneath olive trees and a Pinus pinea along this cobbled walkway, interplanted with Pittosporum tenuifolium 'Silver Queen';
White Walk: Flanked by Hybrid Musk, Penelope, and semi-procumbent Seafoam; and many white and grey plants, including Romneya coulterii and Carpenteria californica, with Mme Alfred Carrière in the background;
Antique Rose Valley: A large informal area with wide grass walkways between irregular beds and borders of different shapes and sizes, crammed with roses, underplanted with lavender, nepeta, pinks and Pavonia hastata. They include:
Rugosas (eg Blanc Double de Coubert; and Sarah Van Fleet); Gallicas; Damasks; Centifolias and Mosses; Portlands (eg Jacques Cartier; Comte de Chambord; and Rose de Rescht); Hybrid Musks (eg Prosperity; Cornelia; and Moonlight); David Austin roses (eg Abraham Darby; Claire Rose; and Mary Rose); and finally, there is …
The Valley of Roses Mutabilis: 300 bushes of 2 metre high Mutabilis are grown en masse in huge drifts with mown walkways between. Their peachy-pink, yellow, orange and crimson single open flowers bloom right through to Christmas, giving the appearance of a host of butterflies hovering over a dark sea of Ophiopogon japonicus. A rare tea rose, 'Belle Lyonnaise' climbs up Melia azederach trees.
The garden is open to the public from April to November and there are two major plant fairs in Spring and Autumn.Il Roseto Botanico Gianfranco and Carla Fineschi
Casalone 76, 52022, Cavriglia (Arezzo),Italy 50 km south of Florence
And for those of us who cannot read or speak Italian:
http://oldroses.nl/essays-articles-and-books/visit-to-roseto-botanico-carla-fineschi-cavriglia-arezzo-italy/ and
Charles Quest-Ritson dedicated his book, Climbing Roses of the World, to his wife and 'Gianfranco Fineschi, who has done more for the rose in one lifetime than the Empress Josephine herself ', so I would have to visit this amazing living museum, dedicated to the rose!
Professor Gianfranco (1923-2010) started his rose collection fifty years ago in 1967 on his family estate in Casalone, near Cavrigio, overlooking the Tuscan Hills. It is now the world's largest private rose garden in the world with 6500 different species of rose, each represented by a single plant, which is tagged with its botanical name; its year of introduction to Europe and its ability to hybridize.
Roses are organized according to their scientific classification and are planted in separate beds according to their species, subspecies and hybrids, with climbers and ramblers forming division walls.
Many of the beds of modern roses are grouped according to their hybridizers eg Lens, Kordes, Harkness, Buisman, Leenders, Mc Gredy, Meilland, Poulsen, Noack, Beales, Austin, Dickson, and Verschuren. This botanical and historical emphasis makes this garden particularly valuable for rose historians.
Its reputation as the world's largest private rose garden refers to the number of rose species in the collection, rather than the size of the garden, which is only one acre! Hence, the roses are planted very close together, which necessitates the use of chemicals to control diseases! The garden has been reopened and can be visited in May and June.
I have chosen R.brunonii as my feature photo for this garden, as well as the main feature photo for this post on Italian rose gardens, as it has a hybrid 'La Mortola', named after the famous Italian garden, La Mortola, in Liguria.And finally, and especially for my daughter, who is living in Germany and still hasn't visited this amazing garden!:
On the Rosengarten 2a
06526 Sangerhausen, Germany South-West of Berlin and just west of Leipzig
http://europa-rosarium.de, translated into English at:
Map: http://europa-rosarium.de/fileadmin/files/Lageplan_2015_SEgeschlossen.pdf
Brochure: http://sangerhausen-tourist.de/fileadmin/Flyer/Flyer_Rosarium_07-11_engl_.pdf.
Sangerhausen is a huge historic public rose garden, the German equivalent of L'Hay des Roses, France, with 75 000 rose plants of over 70 classes of rose; and 8 600 rose cultivars, including 500 species roses, 1 350 historic roses, over 2 000 modern roses since the 1950s and 850 climbing roses. 2 000 cultivars are only found in Sangerhausen. According to the Guinness Book of Records, it is the largest collection of roses in the world!
It was proposed by rose breeder, Peter Lambert, in 1898, as a refuge for roses and rose classes at risk of oblivion with the rising dominance of the Hybrid Tea and as a genetic pool for hybridizers. Albert Hoffman donated his rose collection of 1 100 different roses as a basis for the new rosarium.
In 1899, landscape architect Friedrich Erich Doerr, Erfurt, designed a formal rose garden, which was extended to include an agricultural area in 1902. The 1.5 ha garden, at that stage owned by the German Rose Society, was opened to the public in 1903 with a collection of 1 500 roses. It was extended in 1913 to 12 ha and became a trial ground for testing new German roses prior to their introduction. By 1939, there were 5 000 roses and the site was extended again to its current size of 12.5 ha (31 acres).
Sangerhausen was kept going through the Great Depression; the Second World War and the Cold War by Richard Vogel and his son, Max. Being located in what became East Germany after World War II and the erection of the Berlin Wall in 1961, rosarians in the West were largely cut off from contact from it for over thirty years. The first visits from the West occurred in the early 1970s, but direct exchange and donations of roses were still not allowed, so would often reach Sangerhausen via Poland. During this time, 800 different cultivars of Polyanthas were planted together en masse for a spectacular effect and the irrigation system renewed.
The rosary was revived with the reunification of Germany. In 2003 (its 100 year anniversary), a new entrance gate with bright tourist-attracting modern roses; a restaurant and three new gardens were created, including a Jubilee Garden (a classical rosary design showing the historical development of the rose in the last 100 years); a Sea of Roses and an ADR Garden, ADR standing for Allgemeine Deutsche Rosenneuheitenprufung, the group which conducts rose trials, assessing roses over three years for disease-resistance; hardiness; attractiveness; and habit and judging 50 new cultivars annually.
Since then, a Rose Information Centre with a lecture hall and souvenir shop; a glasshouse conservatory for the more tender roses; and a fragrance garden has been opened. There is also an arboretum of over 250 rare trees and shrubs and an outdoor theatre.
Situated 170 metres above sea level on the scenic mountain slopes of the Southern Harz, with an average annual rainfall of 500 mm and a continental climate of hot dry Summers and minimum Winter temperatures of Minus 20 degrees Celsius, it would need a glasshouse for some of the more delicate Tea and China roses!
No chemical pesticides have been used since 1997 and the garden is managed by 27 gardeners. It is now owned by the City of Sangerhausen. In 2003, the World Federation of Rose Societies awarded Sangerhausen an Award of Garden Excellence.
The main blooming season for the Old Roses (pre-1867) is from the end of May to the middle of June, but other roses bloom till October, followed by a superb display of rose hips. Apparently, the old city entrance is very romantic with all the old roses in bloom.
Sangerhausen attracts a huge number of visitors. The garden had over 132 000 visitors in 2009 alone! On the last weekend in June, there is a Festival of Mining and Roses and on the 2nd Saturday in August is a 'Night of a Thousand Lights' featuring fireworks, food, music and dance .
The garden is also an important research centre, being named the German Rose Gene Bank in 2009, as well as acquiring a New German Rose Library, and also is a major supplier of budwood for hybridizers.
Below is a photo of Maigold, bred by German breeding family, Kordes, in 1953. Wilhelm Kordes II was very involved in implementing ADR testing in the 1950s, so this rose is a very suitable feature rose for Sangerhausen!
I hope you have enjoyed my bucket-list of overseas gardens and that you (and I!) get to visit them some day, but here is the thing about blogging! Even if we never make it overseas again, I have had so much pleasure researching all these beautiful gardens to the extent that I almost feel that I have been there! Even though nothing can really replace the real experience, the enjoyment of such visits can be tempered by huge crowds in Summer, the peak rose blooming time, bad weather and sheer fatigue! And their websites these days are so comprehensive, so many lessons can be learnt digitally from these gardens from garden design to companion planting for roses!
For the next month, I am returning to further reviews of the books in our home library and some wonderful visual treats, with two weeks dedicated to architecture books and the following fortnight to art books, before returning to posts on today's roses: the Hybrid Teas and Floribundas; and David Austin roses.

De Anne Wingate returned from India in March of 2012, with a desire to help children living in slums around the world receive the best education possible. She saw first hand that this was the only hope for these precious little ones. Thus, the seed was planted for her non-profit, Rippled Purpose.
Rippled Purpose is organized to provide hope to children living in slums around the world through education and love – which extends to their nourishment, medical & dental care, and college aid. All funding will be utilized for programs that create self-sufficiency within the community. Giving children the chance to rise above oppression and poverty are the fundamental principles driving Rippled Purpose.
I had the pleasure to meet DeAnne at a volunteer event in Charlotte where we both had helped out for a fund-raiser. Not only did we bond over our shared name & spelling (!), but we also share a common path as to how we came to find our purposes in life. I'm honored to share DeAnne & her passion w/you! She's also going to share about an exciting project she's working on documenting some of the work being done in India & the difference being made there.
