Rose’s Garden: The Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Garden...

Rose’s Garden: The Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Garden was to be dedicated Sunday in Hyannis, Mass., to mark her 101st birthday, but the frail Kennedy clan matriarch won’t attend the ceremony. Last year’s centennial birthday brought out most of the Kennedy family. Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.) and members of the Ace of Clubs, the group she founded for Catholic women excluded from other high-society clubs, will plant roses in the new garden.

Cheers: President Bush and Mikhail Gorbachev could toast each other with namesake drinks at their upcoming summit, thanks to an Omni magazine contest. The magazine asked readers to think up unlikely drink concoctions--and not necessarily potable ones. Submissions included a George Bush--George Dickel bourbon and Busch beer--and a Mikhail Gorbachev-- vodka with a splash of port wine.

Collision: Country singer Dottie West hurt her nose when the car she was driving ran into a ditch on the way to the Grand Ole Opry. West, 58, was in satisfactory condition at Baptist Hospital. The singer told traffic investigators that the car’s engine stopped running and she lost control of it. The car then struck a tree, veered into a ditch and crashed into a concrete wall. West was cited for careless driving, for not wearing a seat belt and for driving with an expired temporary tag. West, who said an auto dealership let her use the car, had to auction off her belongings last month to pay her debts. The singer’s best-known hits include “I Was Raised on Country Sunshine” and a duet with Kenny Rogers titled “Every Time Two Fools Collide.”

British Bash: Harry Connick Jr. and his band will play a command performance when Windsor Castle throws a party Friday for Britain’s Prince Phillip, who is celebrating his 70th birthday. The invitation was extended after one of the royal sons, Prince Edward, saw Connick perform recently at the Royal Albert Hall in London, said Shelley Selover, a publicist for Columbia Records. “It’ll be great,” Connick said from Los Angeles.
