Tn this i^eneral lUM^liborliood are scNX'ral plants of Rosa Joetida 

 { R. Inled). This sj)edes is of great interest, l)ecause one of its 

 varieties (Persian ^>llo\v, 1837) was, by Monsieur Pernet- 

 Duclier, crossed with a Mybrid Peri)etual (Anloine Duclier) 

 which resulted in the famous Soleil d'Or which, by further hy- 

 bridization, gaxe rise to the Pernetiana strain of H\'brid Tea 

 roses (see p. 194). Austi'ian (\)])])er (15')6) and Marison's 

 Yellow (1830), also varieties of R.foelidd, are nt^arl)y. Austrian 

 Copper and Persian ^ ellow, so far, liave resolutely refused to 

 thrive with us althoui^h Soleil d'Or, which has a sinister ix-puta- 

 tion as a "doer" is surprisingly healthy. An Knjj,lish writer says 

 Austrian Briers "will not survive urban conditions" which may 

 account for their failure here. Two R. foetida Inbrids, vigorous 

 enough to be trained as pillar or trellis roses, are Le Re\'e and 

 Star ot Persia. These varieties grow well here and may be seen 

 on the arcdi and ])illars nearest to th(Mr parent. 



Starting at the third arcdi and continuing to the ])a\'ilion per- 

 gola is a collection of \-arieties and In'brids of Rosii rn^osn. There 

 are so many derivatives of this species that a similar area oti the 

 opposite side of the garden is necessar}' to accommodate them. 



Rosa rugosa is a sturdy, ujiright bush, with thorny stems and 

 handsome, wrinkled foliage. The flowers are single, large, tiuite 

 fragrant, tending towards magenta in color. Idle large, orange- 

 red fruits are ornamental in the fall. This rose is noted for its 

 hardiness and abilit\' to thrix'e under cit\- conditions and on the 

 sea shore where subjtH-l to salt spray. 



Some ot its outstanding hybrids and varieties are as follows: 



R. rii'^osa repeiis olba, a trailing form with single, white flowers, 

 and extremely \"igoi'ous, ser|)entine growth. 



Max (h'at is also a trailing kind, which ])ro\'ides a stunning 

 exhibition of single pirdv flowers in jime. This \ariety may be 

 seen effecti\el\' dispUued on the terrace bank on the north side 

 of the Pa\ ilion. 



C\)nra,d l^\M-dinand INleyei', the most x'igorous of all the rugosa 

 hybrids, has large double flowers of light jiink and is a glorious 

 sight when in bloom. It is not a plant ioi" the small garden 

 because it is capable ot growing htteen feet high and as much 

 through. This \'ariet\' shows close affinity to the Hybrid Per-
