All over my garden I’ve planted nothing but roses, because I especially love the flower．A close friend came for a visit the other day．I told her that she should pick a bunch of roses to beautify her bedroom．I promised that the smell of the roses would be wafted far, far away．

That girl friend of nine, walking into the garden in high spirits, smelt here and there, but in the end she didn’t pick a single rose．I said that she could pick many flowers; I told her that I was not a flower farmer and didn’t make a living out of them．Saying so, I raised the scissors for the sacrifice of the flowers, but she stopped me, crying no, no, no!

To cut such beautiful roses would hurt one, she said．With her hands seizing at my sleeves, she told me that by no means should they be cut．Roses are the smiling face of the earth, and who could be so iron-hearted as to destroy such a charming smile?

My mind was shocked: the ugly earth, the tough earth, the plain earth-it is for the reason of that smile that it wins the care and pity of people．

64．The writer plants nothing but roses in her garden probably because________.

A．she can make money out of them   B．her friends like them

C．she enjoys the roses very much       D．the roses sell well

A．given off  B．lost   C．destroyed  D．thrown away

A．Because the roses were not beautiful.

B．Because she loved the roses very much.

The flowers are blooming and the birds are singing as Melinda sits in the rose garden of the nursing home. She is recalling old times as she waits for her family's arrival. The nursing home has been Melinda's new settlement ever since Thomas passed away a week ago. Thomas had fought a long and hard battle against lung cancer for three years. Unfortunately, he has broken the promise that he and Melinda had made: to be with each other for every birthday. Melinda knew this was unrealistic (不现实的) but agreed to the promise for Thomas's sake.

"Thomas, you are completely a dreamerl" Melinda shouted to Thomas as he dragged on about living on an island with his beautiful wife. That's what she loved about him most-he had a vivid imagination. They got married at age eighteen and began having children right away. Mary came within the year, followed by Thomas Benjamin II, Lilly-Ann, and Joseph "Little Joey" George. The family lived an exultant life filled with laughter and love.

"Mom!" Lilly shouted, but it really sounded like a howl. Melinda had lost herself in thinking about the life she had shared with her late husband. Lilly pushed her down the long dark halls of the nursing home until they arrived at the recreational room.

When the doors opened, Melinda put her hand over her mouth and was completely speechless. The room was crowded with the people nearest and dearest to her and the warmth and love was felt instantly. The night went on; stories and cocktails were shared and everything was perfect.

However, when Melinda caught a moment to herself she looked around at her family. With a smile on her face, she raised her Manhattan and called out for a toast. "This one is for you, Thomas, though you are not here."

Growing roses is quite a difficult task without knowing the right way. If you are attracted by the beauty of roses and need some tips for growing them, read on for some tips about taking care of rose plants.

● You have to buy a good plant, preferably around two years old.

● While most rose plants can tolerate around six hours of sunlight every day, some varieties need eight hours of sunlight exposure. The shade-loving roses need only four hours of sunlight.

● You will have to soak(浸泡) the roots overnight, before planting. If you plant it in a container, then the watering should be done daily, whereas garden roses need water once or twice a week.

● The next point is the application of fertilizers（肥料）, which is mainly needed by rose plants in containers. Most of the varieties do not need fertilizers, as they can feed on the nutrients that exist in the soil. There is no need of fertilization during November and December, and the frequency of fertilization can be reduced during the summers, especially after April. It can be restarted in September and has to be increased during the growing periods.

● Cutting the stems promotes the growth of the plant and also aids flowering. It should be done regularly to remove dead or diseased leaves and stems.

Rose plants can be successfully grown by beginners too! With some care and consideration, all your efforts would definitely be worth it once you smell the fragrance of beautiful roses.　

1. You can put shade-loving roses in the sun as long as ______.

A. 2 hours　　 B. 4 hours　　 C. 6 hours　　 D. 8 hours

Winter care for roses

Do roses need extra care for winter? Like so many other things in the garden, the answer is debatable. 1.

Roses are grouped and referred to by type. Shrub roses are the hardiest and need little extra care. Hybrid tea roses and other roses are more likely to need winterization to survive or remain healthy.

2. And even shrub roses exposed to severe winter conditions can suffer. If roses are growing in a location that is subject to heavy winter winds, even the hardiest varieties may benefit from winterization.

Some gardeners live by the theory that if a plant can't grow well, the best bet is to replace it. 3. If you wish to do nothing with your roses, you also have chances of having plants around in the spring. If you like to baby plants along, winterization is for you.

Winterize roses after a hard freeze and cold weather. The first step is to add soil or other plant material over the crown(花冠)of the rose bush. The material should be about 12 inches deep over the crown. The second step to winterizing roses is to tie up the plants. 4. If the plants are tall, use ropes to provide support to them.

When spring comes, remove the added soil from the base of the plant. 5. This is the time to clean up cuts and reduce plant size if desired.

A．Location also plays a role, though.

B．Remove strings if plants have been tied up.

C．So they often change the plants they grow.

D．Other gardeners have plants that are almost like children.

E．You should consider sunshine and water when answering this question.

F．The main purpose is to prevent them from breaking off in the face of strong winds.

G．It depends on the plant variety, growing location and a gardener's personal preference.
