Introduction. The calculating engines of English mathematician Charles Babbage (1791-1871) are among the most celebrated icons in the prehistory of computing. Babbageâs Difference Engine No.1 was the first successful automatic calculator and remains one of the finest examples of precision engineering of the time.ublications about Charles Babbage: 1  Charles Babbage. 2  Passages from the Life of a Philosopher.

You bought a bareroot rose. Many people have an unfortunate experience with a garden store in that they have bought a rose bush whose roots have dried out so the plant is essential dead from day one. You mentioned hard and that is what triggers our response. The bark should be soft and greenish in color.
Similarly if they are own root roses, they may come back. I would suggest that you contact one of the rose societies in New Jersey and ask for their advice. Perhaps there is someone close by who could come have a look at your plants.I'm including a link to the West Jersey Rose Society which appears to have an excellent rose advice page. If your plants are dead, don't despair, get some local advice and try again. Perhaps try some varieties that are more cold tolerant.o check, carefully dig some soil away around the base of the roses until you can see the graft. If there is sound growth below the soil, your roses should come back just fine. If they are alive, cover them back to their original depth and leave them. I personally would not do anything to them until you see new growth.
