Shades Of Rose: Quartz crystallizes in the rhombohedral sys¬tem, generally as six-sided prisms usually termi¬nated at each end by six-sided pyramids. Among the crystalline varieties of quartz are rock crystal, amethyst, smoky quartz, rose quartz, and milky quartz. The mineral is colorless when pure, but ranges through various shades of yellow, red, brown, blue, and green to black when impure.
Of the colored varieties of crystalline quartz, amethyst is clear purple or bluish-violet, and is popular as a gem. Rose quartz, which always occurs massive, is rose red or pink.
A blaze of all the colors of the rainbow is difficult to absorb all at once: much better to group the plants in types of color, and merge each into the one adjacent to it. Pink, purple, rose, gray, lavender, blue, and lilac make one group; and yellow, cream, orange, bronze, brown, and light red another. The reds will graduate into shades of rose, lavender and so to blue; or on the opposite side into scarlet, vermilion, flame, and finally yellow. Gray-leafed and white-flowered plants will calm down the brighter colors, and mix beautifully with muted shades.
Another way of breaking up blocks of color is to introduce leafy plants. There are many species whose leaves are handsome in shape, agreeable in color and pleasing in texture. These deserve a place in the garden in their own right.See Also Gradually Rose To Distinction:ROM ILLY, rom'i-le, Sir Samuel, English legal reformer: b. March 1, 1757; d. London, England, Nov. 2, 1818. He entered Gray's Inn to study for the bar, to which he was called in 1783, and gradually rose to distinction in the Court of Chancery, in which he ultimately took the lead. During the short administration of Fox and Lord Grenville (1806) he was ap¬pointed solicitor-general (being member for Queensborough), and knighted.
Ever since the Middle Ages the pope has, on Laetare Sunday, blessed a golden rose which he bestows on some bene¬ficiary. Some Italian writers have declared that the term sub rosa is derived from the fact of consecrated roses being placed over the confes¬sionals at Rome to denote secrecy, the rose being a symbol of silence. In legend, Saint Dorothea, who suffered martyrdom under Fabricius, made a convert of Theophilus by sending him some roses from paradise. The rose is an attribute of Saints Casilda, Elizabeth of Portugal, Rose of Lirna, Rose of Viterbo, Rosalia, and others.
