MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN BULLETIN 133 
tunately, with all these qualities to recommend them, their 
blooming season is quite short. There are always some hybrid 
tea roses that do better than others and whether this is due to 
the variety or whether the smoke is also responsible is not 
easily determined. It is a fact that the more robust roses 
in this class, that have been recommended from time to time, 
are the ones that withstand the smoky atmosphere fairly sue- 
cessfully ; just to mention a few—Etoile de France, Florence 
Pemberton, Gruss an Teplitz, La Tosca, Lady Ursula, Mme. 
Jules Bouche, Mrs. Arthur Robert Waddell, and Radiance. 
Most of the climbers are successfully grown in a smoky 
place. 
The Garden is situated near one of the industrial districts 
and the railroads and is surrounded by homes and apart- 
ments where much smoke is constantly pouring out of the 
stacks, so that the task of maintaining a collection of varie- 
ties in the rose garden is a difficult one. To those contem- 
plating planting roses where smoky conditions prevail, it is 
suggested they use some hybrid perpetuals, rugosas, poly- 
anthas, climbers and the strongest of the hybrid teas. The 
following is a list of roses to select from:
