Species roses, usually with only five petals, are the parents for the hybrid roses so popular today, says Beltsy Kissam of the garden.Twenty-seven new varieties of miniature roses, including some cascading kinds, have been added to the collection this year. Three1986 All-America Rose Selections (AARS) were also planted. All three are hybrid tea roses: %u201cVoodoo\roses, %u201cBroadway%u201d with flowers in a blend of red, yellow and pink, and %u201cTouch of Class%u201d with coral-pink roses, excellent for cutting. In addition, three 1987 winners will be on preview. Only a little over 100 roses have been selected to receive the All-America commendation since the designation was instituted nearly 50 years ago.The Cranford Rose Garden is open Tuesday through Friday, 9am to 4:30pm, and weekends and holidays, 10:30am to 4:30pm.

Speakers include Congressman Ed Towns and Carolyn Eisenberg from Brooklyn Parents for Peace. Others invited include Congressman Major Owens and Congressman Charles Schumer.Those who walk are asked to raise $10 (or what you can) from as many friends and relatives as possible, says Liz Ettinger of the organizing group. Funds raised will benefit the educational and lobbying campaigns of the local and national Nuclear Freeze offices, she says.The Nuclear Freeze Campaign works to awaken the public and lobby elected officials for a bilateral, verifiable US/USSR nuclear weapons Freeze and against a Star Wars defense. According to Marshall Spatz, vice chair of the Brooklyn Campaign, %u201cNot only are hundreds of millioas poured into research at government labs to develop what is probably an impossible defense system, but Star Wars advocates are distributing research funds into as many Congressional districts and universities as possible. If Star Warsbecomes economically entrenched, a dangerous technological idea may survive because of corporate profits, scientists%u2019 dependence on grants, and pork-barreling.%u201dIn addition to this demonstration, the Freeze campaign will continue to lobby Congress to reduce funding levels for Star Wars research and to reaffirm the crucial AntiBallistic Missile treaty, which would probably be violated by Star Wars. Says the Chair of the Brooklyn Freeze Campaign, Hortence Lopez, %u201cAsk yourself how often the computer is down where you work, or when you go to pay a bill. Star Wars computer programs would have to work perfectly the first time. Instead of letting that day come and trying to minimize the damages, we need to prevent nuclear war by freezing the Arms Race.%u201d For information, call 499-2952.Library Sets New TimesSunday, June 8th and Saturday, June 14th will be last days that Brooklyn Public branch libraries are open on weekends for the summer, says library official Ellen Rudley.Telephone Reference will also suspend Sunday service on June oth, and Business Telephone Reference will suspend Saturday service on June 14.The Central Library, Grand Army Plaza, though closed on Sundays as of June 15, will remain open on Saturdays throughout the summer, she says.College Preparatory: Preschool through 12th gradeOne Hundred Years of ExcellenceW e offer students the opportunity to achieve excellence in academ ics, athletics and the arts.
