1150. Crowell, S. W. a talk on bedding roses. Florists' Exchange SO: 1119. 1920. — 

 The writer has, during the past 25 years, tested more than 2000 varieties of bedding roses in the 

 open ground (in Mississippi) with only a minimum amount of care and attention in order to 

 determine the value of each variety under conditions usually encountered in the gardens 

 throughout the country. Many varieties were found to be admirably suited, but the majority 

 proved wholly unable to withstand the winter. Bedding roses of even robust habit require 

 attention as to soil conditions, drainage, food, sunlight, and pruning. That a garden rose do 

 well on its own roots is of first importance. A long list of bedding roses for the South is given, 

 grouped under the headings: Teas, Hybrid Teas, Bourbons, China Roses, Hybrid Remontant, 

 Rugosas and their hybrids, and Baby Roses. A shorter list is given for the small rose garden. —
