cially the beauty of colors blending on the paper and seeing how shapes can tell part of a story while still leaving part of it for the viewer. She was attracted to the “spontaneity and looseness� of watercolor. Part of the decision to paint watercolor was an attempt to “play a little� and balance the more structured parts of

herself.
Loyd enjoys painting different subjects such as flowers, landscapes and barns, but it is portraits that have become her passion. She attended a portrait workshop from well-known artist, Ted Nuttall, which gave her permission to paint portraits in a way that felt right for her. She learned she could paint slowly and carefully while aiming for “planned spontaneity.� Loyd is currently doing portrait commissions. Loyd has won awards for her watercolor and photography at Trail’s End Art Association. She is also a member of the Watercolor Society of "Maasai Warrior" by Debbie Loyd. – SUBMITTED PHOTO

Oregon and was juried into the society’s last three fall exhibits. Loyd has a couple of favorite art quotes. One of her fellow watercolorists, Gary Snavely, taught her something that guides her philosophy of painting: “Art is an expression of reality as seen through the artist’s personality.� A second quote by John Sloan is, “It is an artist’s job to find order in life and leave a
record of what interested him – not what he thinks he ought to be interested in.� What you will see in Loyd’s exhibit is what interests her, what she finds beauty in and what speaks to her. During the art walk, Loyd will provide a discussion of how she develops a painting from the reference to the works in progress. To view more of her paintings, visit www.watercolors bydebbie.com

Need something to fill your Thursday? If you’re an art fan, check out “Au Naturel: The Nude in the 21st Century,” an annual juried art exhibit at the Clatsop Community College Art Center Gallery at 1799 Lexington Ave. in Astoria. The gallery is open 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. (limited hours for spring break), and the exhibit closes today, so it’s your last chance to see some interesting and beautiful modern takes on the nude. You might be wondering why you should go see an art exhibit full of nudes. Clint Brown, this year’s juror and professor emeritus at Oregon State University, gave several reasons in his statement that you can find posted on the wall in the gallery. For one thing, the show allows viewers to see something that is normally forbidden. “To go ‘au naturel’ – that is, in a natural state (without clothing) – is not at all natural,” Brown says. “In fact, to do so in most public places would not only be unnatural but unlawful.” It’s a paradox that serves as a catalyst for debate: Are you viewing a nude figure or a naked one? Is it
pornography or is it art? I visited the gallery last week around 4:30 p.m. Two people talked at the gallery entrance, and I could hear every word; the occasional student or teacher walked through the gallery on their way to somewhere else; a class rumbled in a nearby classroom; and the front door kept opening and closing. Brown’s words echoed in my head; I nervously felt like I was doing something forbidden, that someone could come “catch me,” even though logically I knew I had every right to be there, enjoying
the exhibit. The works range from your basic Rubenesque figures with glowing, creamy skin to graffitilike figures with tattoos. As an amateur painter, I always found hair and skin to be difficult. The artists demonstrate their mastery, especially with so much of it on display. First-place-winner “Expulsion,” by Michael Reedy of Ann Arbor, Mich., literally made me say, “Woah,” when I saw it. One half shows a woman, all soft skin, surrounded by fiery, bugeyed forms. The other half is a
mirror image under X-ray, complete with skeleton and muscle. You can view images of the artwork at www.aunaturelart .com, but it does not compare to the live, huge canvases on display now at CCC. I encourage you to visit, even if it’s outside your comfort zone.

CLOSE TO HOME
On the Waterfront
T
The weather spoke to mid-March – you know the story: in like a lion, out like a lamb. Business was light and everyone was hunkering for more hours. I thought I might forfeit a few of my innkeeper’s obligations and split the scene. Forgive the pun, but I was feeling sequestered. My friend Dwight Caswell suggested a walk: “Bring along your camera, and I’ll give you a lesson.” I didn’t need any more incentive. Dwight is one of the best in the country. Back when photography was black and white, he followed the lead of Ansel Adams and a number of the forerunners to modern photography. I’m not talking about inventing the digital age. I’m talking about the control of light and line and other unpredictables, like marauding weather variables. Dwight has seen it all. He’s learned how to take a picture. For many younger people with iPads or iPhones, much has been lost. Photography was once conducted with an art plan in mind. Film was developed in a dark room by the artist. Light and shadow were manipulated by the photographer himself. There was no automatic focus. There was no automatic camera. Composition was trained in art schools or privately in the college of hard knocks. Artists like Edward Curtis took life into their own hands as they foraged deep into indigenous cultures. Dwight still does much of his work the same way he learned as a younger man. He has also learned to use modern technology. He just prefers the old tried and true. He has quick hands and an agile mind. He moves his camera like a gunslinger. We choose the Astoria waterfront. I love it there. I love the big ships and the barges and tugs. I love the play of light on water, big storm clouds, and always, the force of one of the most tumultuous rivers in the world. Astoria is the gem in the crown of the Pacific Northwest, a waterfront city with an honest personality. A city that insists on preserving a way of life that dates back two centuries. History remains palpable. Dwight finds shots where others refuse to look. For every 10 photos you and I might take, he is stuck on one. I’ve hiked with the man when he shot only one photo all day. He doesn’t even get the camera out of its case until his mind has already 4 | March 28, 2013 | coastweekend.com
conjured up a potential subject and the many ramifications that go with the making of a fine photograph. With the river boiling with lovely, silky clouds – with subtle, silver water blossoming with patches of blue and indigo sky, he turned his focus on a family of coot beneath the pier in front of the Wet Dog Café, famous for its ales. The two pilgrims considered stopping there as they moved

History remains palpable. past the establishment and along the waterfront. We were thirsty, but Dwight seemed to zero in on the Monet-like patches of water, which reflected clouds and wind and nature playing a pattern dance. Again, he shot just once, and the photo seemed a marvel. But the ships lay at anchor, swinging with the tide, the red painted hulls and white wheelhouses rising majestically above River City. Pilot boats scurried downriver, small powerful tugs pushing the massive ships against the river currents, dwarfed all the while by the huge steel vessels. However, the smaller cousins did not seem to suffer from the exertion. A large barge with a massive winch was at work down by the Columbia River Maritime Museum, and we hung about as the steel crane lifted tons of piling effortlessly. Upright pilings and horizontal dock posts framed the picture. Dwight was only interested in the wooden patterns and the reaction they drew on the choppy water. He was framing the essential. We walked and explored this way for nearly two hours, and though a bit wet and cold, I couldn’t help but conclude that the adventure, however rare, was available and commonplace to nearly each and every one fortunate to live in the region. And that is the simple beauty of this lovely city on the

river. It is always within our reach. It is available at all times, under cloudy skies or full moon or when scoured by rampaging rain and storm. On blue sky days it shines like an opal. At dawn or dust, vistas pose stunning silhouettes, hold us spellbound. And when the salmon run through, we scurry to the source of all rivers. We are baptized by water. On the Waterfront Ships with rusty red hulls Creep past Black river piling. Along the rocky shore Their wakes careen
Over mottled stones. Aren’t there reasons for walking alone? Those stones Bowing to the tide. Later – a footnote perhaps – Rich “Nacho Bizness” Ewing caught us shooting photos from the deck of the Baked Alaska. He invited us in for a cocktail. Rich certainly is one of the best bartenders I’ve ever had the pleasure to watch and to celebrate for his wonderful craftsmanship. Dwight and I kept our rendezvous to one drink but did devour a dozen Willapa Bay oysters, these, Kumomotos, la crème de la crème. What a lovely conclusion to a simple adventure, and all this, as easy as Close to Home.

Learn about and spot migrating gray whales through March 30 ILWACO, Wash. — The Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center, at Cape Disappointment State Park, is participating in a week’s worth of informal whale talks, naturalist interpretation and assistance with spout, fin and fluke spotting during ‘Whale Watching Spoken Here,” through March 30, on Washington’s Long Beach Peninsula. The event is timed to coincide with the predicted first sightings of the North Pacific gray whale migration from Mexico’s Baja Peninsula, up the Pacific coastline to food-rich Arctic waters. This northward migration is of particular interest because mothers are swimming

Plus, people will learn about the advantages of unobtrusive, landbased whale watching, a growing trend among conservationists. To help ensure whale watching success, people are encouraged to do the following: Look for whales on a calm morning, before the sun’s reflection creates glare; first scan for spouts (whale’s exhale) and then use a spotting scope or binoculars to get a better view; and avoid days with high winds, high surf and whitecaps, as these conditions make spotting whales nearly im-

Whale sightings from vantage points on the Long Beach Peninsula are anticipated to continue through June. “Even during migration, whale sightings are sporadic,” Aaron Webster, Cape Disappointment State Park interpretive specialist, said. “Still, almost everyone who sees a whale’s spout or fluke is inspired and, for many of our visitors, a sighting creates a lasting memory.” While spotting whales in the wild is always an iffy prospect, during “Whale Watching Spoken

Two additional whalewatching platforms in Cape Disappointment State Park include North Head (the grounds surrounding North Head Lighthouse) and Bell’s View Overlook, accessed by the halfmile-long Bell’s View Trail. In the beachside town of Long Beach, Wash., a half-mile-long boardwalk constructed over the sand dunes and the fourth-story view from Pickled Fish restaurant atop the Adrift Hotel also provide good platforms for spotting whales. For those interested in the structure of a whale, the
skeletal remains of a gray whale anchor the south end of the boardwalk. One of Washington’s most popular state parks, Cape Disappointment State Park encompasses the southwest tip of the Long Beach (Wash.) Peninsula. The ADA-accessible park boasts two historic lighthouses, pristine beaches, old-growth forests, interpretative and hiking trails, yurts and camping spots, an outdoor amphitheater, and a worldclass interpretive center. A Discover Pass is required for entrance to all state parks, and a nominal admission fee is charged for the Lewis and Clark Interpretive Center.

Learn how to make your house green and energy efficient
Musicians Stephanie Schneiderman, Tony Furtado to perform
ASTORIA — If you have plans to renovate, remodel and/or improve the energy efficiency of your house, the weekend workshop "Whole House Energy Upgrade" in May could help you analyze your building’s needs and create a strategy for implementing changes, all in keeping with the historic character of your building. Students will learn a decision-making process to find solutions to the questions: "What do we need (that we don't have)?" and "What problems do we have (that we don't need)?" The techniques learned in the class can be used to integrate all aspects of an existing house for energy efficiency, improved comfort and livability. Offered by Clatsop Community College’s Historic Preserva-
tion program, the workshop May 3 through 5 will be taught by architect Anthony Stoppiello and will begin with a Friday evening slideshow. On Saturday, participants will visit two Astoria houses to hear the owner’s needs and learn about potential design decisions and techniques, including materials, off the shelf technology and lifestyle choices as they impact energy use. On Sunday, participant teams will present their strategies for making improvements in each house. Stoppiello, an architect with more than 35 years experience, emphasizes solar design, environmentally preferable materials and a whole systems approach in his practice. He has served as Sustainability Division Chair for the American Solar Energy Society and teaches Green Building
and Thermal and Moisture Protection classes for Clatsop Community College’s Historic Preservation Program. He and his wife Victoria inherited an 1895 house in Ilwaco, Wash., and renovated it to improve natural light, heat circulation, esthetics, spatial function and weatherization, and in the process reduced their electricity use by 67 percent without sacrificing the historic ambiance of their building. Cost for BLD 229: Whole House Energy Workshop is $210, with college credit available. Register online at www. clatsopcc.edu or call 503-3387670.

Having grown up with music, Astoria Conservatory of Music founder now shares the gift of song with young people in Astoria
L
Lisa Nelson brought her musical talents and goofy sense of humor to Astoria in 2001. Since then she has taught music, directed the North Coast Chorale and the choir at First Presbyterian Church, and is now on the board of the Astoria Music Festival. Along the way she also founded the Astoria Conservatory of Music. (Full disclosure: I sang in the choir she directed, so I know how much she can do with mediocre talent as well as with real talent. As to the sense of humor, we both steal each other’s punch lines and have the complete Monty Python collection.) Nelson arrived here because she and her husband, Chris, were tired of the snow at Lake Tahoe and wanted to live on the Oregon Coast – and there was an opening for a music teacher in the Astoria School District. She taught in the school district for two years before resigning to found the Astoria Conservatory of Music. In the beginning she ran it out of her living room. In 2003 she moved the conservatory to First Presbyterian Church of Astoria, where the it now occupies a suite of classrooms and a large room with a stage. Nelson’s father was involved in music (“He helped build Van Morrison’s home studio.”) and she was always around music. When she was a young girl, her grandparents “made the horrendous mistake of taking me to a double bill of ‘Mary Poppins’ and ‘The Sound of Music,’” and she was hooked. After performing and teaching school, she decided to go out on her own with the conservatory. Nelson wanted to focus more intently on a smaller number of students because, “I love to see people find their voice. I love to be part of the process; that seems to be my gift,” she says. “And I find tremendous satisfaction watching stu-
dents with the instrumental teachers at the conservatory find their abilities on instruments, unlocking the mysteries.” Lately Nelson’s students have caught quite a bit of attention. Four of her students (Sydney Dufka, Scarlet
Four of her students have won Miss Clatsop County or Miss North Coast Outstanding Teen. Graham, Alexis Mather and Abi Anderson) have won Miss Clatsop County or Miss North Coast Outstanding Teen. In
2012 Sydney Dufka won the Miss Clatsop County competition, and Mather is this year’s reigning Miss Clatsop County. To what does Nelson attribute the success of her students? “First of all,” she answers, “they are exceptional young people who are not afraid of challenges and are willing to work very hard. They are also willing to learn, and – this is very important – to take instruction.” Recently Nelson asked Mather to demonstrate her vocal technique to a newer voice student, a middle schooler. “Her Miss Clatsop County platform is Be a Mentor Your Way, which for Alexis is through music, and it’s also her senior project (at Astoria High School). It was a great gift to see her work with a

It was really wonderful.” Of her own specialty, voice, Nelson says, “First I listen to students; most don’t realize what their potential is or how large their voice can be. Then we begin the process of training a healthy voice. It is the most important thing. If you don’t have a healthy voice, you have no voice at all. A competent professional should listen to you; a voice can be kept healthy through proper
training.” The Astoria Conservatory of Music has been growing for over a decade, and Nelson’s enthusiasm hasn’t flagged. “It seems like I’m at the Conservatory all the time,” she says, “but it’s incredibly satisfying to watch students grow. I have the greatest job in the world.” For more information about the Astoria Conservatory of Music go to www.astoriamusic.com or call Lisa Nelson at 503-325-3237.

From left: Jewels and Cameron Kirby, along with Ashton, Stephanie and Kaden Crabb, stand before Battery Ord at Fort Columbia State Park near Chinook, Wash.
Considered by many as the crown jewel of recreation for the entire Columbia Pacific region, this 1,882-acre playground is the largest of the area parks and the second most-visited in the state. Lewis and Clark first touched the waters of the Pacific here, and a most excellent interpretive center ($5 admission) explores the role of the region before, during and in the time since that legendary westward voyage. With a full year-round campground, two historic lighthouses, an amphitheater, seven miles of hiking trails, the North Jetty, abandoned military batteries and long stretches of sandy beach, the park is more than diverse. “There’s so much to offer here,” park Interpretive Consultant Jon Schmidt says with a knowing smile. “And there’s still such a chance to experience that very real sense of discovery. People just have to take it.” This year, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Washington State Parks, go ahead and take that chance. Spot the plume of a whale’s spout while you stand at the foot of the oldest lighthouse on the West Coast and gaze out at the expansive Pacific; hike for free in some of the last great stands of old growth trees; search out a coveted glass fishing float on a pristine stretch of beach; or hold a
The final stretch of the meandering, walking-only beach path at Pacific Pines State Park in Ocean Park, Wash.
This 592-acre park, situated high on Scarborough Hill and overlooking the Columbia River, was once the home of famed Chief Comcomly, longtime leader of the Chinook Indians. Between 1896 and 1904, a military fortress was erected here to protect the mouth of the river from attack by sea; it remains one of the few intact coastal defense sites in the U.S. Restored buildings, four massive concrete batteries, and several interpretive panels provide a glimpse into the fort’s fascinating role in the military, which lasted through World War II. Three miles of hiking trails offer stunning views of the river and meander through some of the best old growth forests in the area. Maps of the self-guided walking tour are available daily; the interpretive center and museum are currently closed due to budget setbacks.
Cape Disappointment
Located one-half mile north of Ocean Park, Wash., and four miles south, respectively, these two day-use parks are the smallest in the area. Not much more than 10 acres in size, both were established as beach access points, with parking, restrooms, picnic grounds and walking-only paths to the edge of the Pacific. These parks are very popular with seasonal clam diggers, kite flyers and beach walkers.
Local residents Cody Schmidt, 16, and Taylor Schisler, 15, emerge from the waves at popular Waikiki Beach in Cape Disappointment State Park, where they surf two or three times per week
Pacific Pines and Loomis Lake
Dramatic Waikiki Beach, flanked by the basalt cliffs of Cape Disappointment and the boulders that make up the North Jetty, draws in scores of driftwood at the confluence of river and sea.
Situated on the slender, northernmost tip, with beach frontage on both the Pacific Ocean and Willapa Bay, this special place is where the Peninsula is most new. In little over a mile, east to west, a remarkable ecologic transition – from grassy marshland on the bay, to maturing coastal forests near the ocean – can be witnessed in the park year round. With four color-coded trails to mark the way, visitors can explore unique shifting sand dunes, natural tidelands, ponds, and a thick array of trees and other plant life. The park is a perfect fit for solace-seekers, and a profusion of resident waterfowl and migratory flocks make Leadbetter a birder’s delight.
Strong currents from the intermingling of the Pacific Ocean and Willapa Bay create rivulents in the sand, exposed here during low tide at Leadbetter Point State park near Oysterville, Wash.
rom deep within a well-protected pocket, 7-year-old Bella Robinson carefully withdraws a small seashell and displays it in her palm. “Isn’t it amazing?” she asks with a shy smile comprised equally of pride and wonder, “I couldn’t believe it when I saw it just lying out there on the beach like that!” The shell, a common limpet, has spent the morning in her close keeping – a top prize gleaned from a beach walk with her family, who are all camping for the weekend at Cape Disappointment State Park in Ilwaco, Wash. “I think it’s really cool, and I just feel so lucky.” she adds, “We don’t have anything like this at home.” Her voice is young and strong – a clear mixture of reverence and excitement. And although she’s unaware, it rises up this day, through the fresh salty air, and joins a chorus of millions more in an echo of gratitude for a handful of individuals who, exactly 100 years ago, had the foresight to create what would become one the most expansive and diverse systems of preservation in the nation: the Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission.
In the spirit of that vision, and in honor of its 100th anniversary, on Saturday, March 30, 2013, Washington State Parks happily invites the public to attend a “free parks day” (one of 12 this year). With five superb examples concentrated on the Long Beach Peninsula, the only drawback should be deciding which one to explore first.
F
Formulated on March 19, 1913, the commission became one of the first in an expanding nation to set aside land in public trust for future generations. At the time, on a frontier still viewed by most as something to be conquered rather than conserved, the idea was a new one, and not altogether popular. But during the 1920s, as more Americans began climbing into automobiles, the need for recreational destinations increased, along with public support, and in 1929, the system already boasted almost 20 parks. The Great Depression and World War II brought inevitable hardship, but by 1947, prosperity returned. In 1950, a reported 1.6 million people used state parks; only two decades later, that number swelled to 21 million. The years since then have been marked by the ebb and flow of an evolving economy, but today, Washington State Parks still holds an incredible 117 developed properties and heritage sites on more than 110,000 acres, with visitors estimated at 40 million per year. Though it struggles once more through financial insecurity – having been forced in 2011 to shift its funding from reliance on the General Tax Fund to a user-pay approach which requires vehicles to display a purchased Discover Pass – the system continues toward its centennial vision: “To preserve destinations of uncommon quality, including state and regionally significant natural, cultural, historical and recreational resources that are outstanding for public experience, health, enjoyment and learning.”

CHINESE RESTAURANT The Happy Family dish, a medley of chicken, scallops, shrimp and fresh vegetables.
The Mouth finds happiness with traditional American Chinese food
I
Is it just me, or do many Chinese restaurants here in the United States taste kind of … the same? I don’t mean to stereotype or over-generalize, but it seems that American Chinese food has become rather homogenized. The General Tso’s chicken at Place A tastes more or less the same as Place B, even though the owners and chefs are different and the restaurants are three states apart. After a lot of thinking about it, though, it occurs to me that American Chinese restaurants are offering what the American public wants, and while not terribly inventive, that usually includes pork fried rice, sweet and sour chicken and fried shrimp. I don’t believe that any restaurant is trying to be uninventive, or that they’re incapable of preparing something more challenging, but rather, the majority of America isn’t interested in inventive and challenging when it comes to Chinese food. An explanation for all this was provided recently by David Chan, a blogger for the “Menuism Chinese Food Blog” and a man who has visited over 6,090 Chinese food restaurants. To summarize, the Chinese first came to America during the gold rush days and came primarily from one part of China: the coastal Guangdong province and particularly its city of Taishan. They brought with them a small offering of dishes that have now become some of the most popular in America. It was not until several years later that a more geographically diverse Chinese population began coming to the United States and that diversity in the cuisine also followed. But no other dishes have matched the epic fame of those from Taishan – chop suey, chow mein and egg foo young, to name a few – and hence, for most Americans, dishes such as these have become our definition of Chinese food. All that being said, Chen’s Chinese Restaurant
Chen’s Chinese Restaurant Rating: ★★★ 400 N. Pacific Ave. Long Beach, WA 98631 www.chenslongbeach.com 360-642-8288 14 | March 28, 2013 | coastweekend.com
in Long Beach, Wash., offers standard Chinese favorites and more, and does it very well. I have visited Chen’s many times, and have often lamented that they don’t serve some of my favorites that are less popular: crispy, fried duck for example, or dim sum. Upon visiting this time, as The Mouth, I put the desire for those foods aside and decided instead to sample a broad smattering of the menu offerings, including those that the American public holds so near and dear. Our service at Chen’s on this evening was top notch. We were seated quickly and dispensed tea and egg flower soup almost immediately. Egg flower soup is not one of my favorites, although the version offered at Chen’s is one of the tastier I have sampled. Next up was a classic favorite, barbecued pork. This dish at Chen’s is far better than its counterparts at other restaurants; it is soft and tender, rather than hard and chewy, and amply
glazed in sauce, something I don’t find often. It is delicious and tastes fresh, as if prepared to order, rather than in large batches that are made to last the day, as can be common in many restaurants. It is served with Chinese ketchup and hot mustard, but it needs no additional flavoring. An entrée of Mu-shu pork, with tender shredded pork, cabbage, onions, carrots and bamboo shoots arrived next, with thin rice pancakes for wrapping. Again, the Mu-shu was far better than that of other restaurants I’ve visited. The pork was succulent and subtly spiced, and the vegetables crisp on the outside but tender on the inside.

I next sampled the Happy Family, a medley of chicken, scallops, shrimp and fresh vegetables. Although the dish was quite lovely, and a generous portion, there was a garlic taste that was overpowering to me. The scallops were also slightly overdone, making them chewy and tough. Scallops are difficult to prepare, and go from “perfect” to “overcooked” in seconds. One of my favorites at Chen’s is the Chef’s Special Beef, thinly sliced beef deep fried and served with “special” hot sauce and broccoli. The breading is a just-right combination of crisp and soft, and whatever “special” ingredient is in the sauce, it is magical. The flavor is tangy and rich, sweet and spicy, and the sour crunch of broccoli is a perfect accompaniment. This dish is a treat, and I recommend it wholeheartedly. Somewhat begrudgingly, I tried the sweet and sour chicken next, as it is such an American favorite. I can see the appeal of it, with its crunchy coating and sweet and tangy sauce, but it lacked the complexity of the other dishes. As a side to all the entrées was a large order of pork fried rice, which was also superior to some others I’ve tried. The vegetables tasted extremely fresh, and there seemed to be more egg and pork than is usually found. My fortune at the end of the evening said, “You will find happiness in a place unexpected,” and at Chen’s I was quite content with its traditional American Chinese food.

ors, so how do you choose which ones to plant? “If I’m going to grow roses I tend to grow roses that have fragrance,” said Barb Fick, a horticulturist with the Oregon State University Extension Service. “Some people go for color. I also go for disease-resistance.” Fick advises buying roses that are immune to the fungal threats of rust, powdery mildew and black spot. The Pacific Northwest Plant Disease Handbook offers a list of disease-resistant varieties. The handbook cautions that roses that are resistant in one location may be susceptible in another region because different fungal strains may be present. Roses that smell sweet and are moderately resistant to black spot, powdery mildew and rust include the dark-red Mr. Lincoln; the Double Delight with its shades of reds, pinks and whites; and the pastel pink Tiffany. The orange-red Fragrant Cloud is highly resistant to rust and is moderately resistant to powdery mildew and black spot. The sunset-orange Voodoo has high resistance to all three, according to the handbook. Floribunda roses, or shrub roses, that resist rust and have moderate resistance to powdery mildew and black spot include the classic pink Cherish and the smoky-orange Marina. The white Class Act is immune to rust and powdery mildew and moderately resistant to black spot. The sunshine-yellow Sunsprite is moderately resistant to all three. One advantage to shrub roses is that they’re low-maintenance and hardy, Fick said. If you want a climbing rose, keep in mind that they require more pruning than shrub roses, Fick said. Install a trellis or use an archway for a climbing rose,

which needs space to grow vertically as well as horizontally. Disease-resistant climbing roses include the fire engine-red Altissimo, which is resistant to rust and has medium resistance to black spot and powdery mildew. The lemon-yellow Golden Showers and the Joseph’s Coat in its rouge and peach hues possess moderate resistance to all three. The rich apricot-hued Royal Sunset resists all three. At the nursery, roses come with bare roots or in a plastic container. For container plants, dig the planting hole twice as wide as the container. For bareroot roses, dig the hole wide enough so you can spread the roots horizontally. February and March are the months to plant bare-root roses in western Oregon. Plant them in a spot with well-drained soil that will receive six to eight hours of full sun. Water your newly planted rose. For planting and care tips, view the Extension guide at http://bit.ly/X8hTbf. Although it is geared for high-desert gardeners, the advice also applies to western Oregon. About the OSU Extension
