ROSES FOR PILLARS. 

 A Pillar Rose is hard to define ; most of the Wich- 

 uraiana Roses make fine pillars, and many of the 

 climbers that are of moderate growth are equally as 

 good. Much depends upon the position of a pillar of 

 Roses before it is possible to decide as to the variety, 

 also a colour scheme has to be considered in many 

 cases. 



A tall pillar needs a very vigorous grower, but a 

 medium or dwarf pillar should only be formed from 

 free and shy climbers. Thus American Pillar or 

 Mrs. F. W. Flight will clothe a very tall pillar, but 

 Bardou Job or Gustave Regis will only be equal to 

 filling a short one. I have selected twelve suitable 

 varieties for each case, but in instructing my readers 

 I would not hesitate in advising them to consult the 

 trade when laying out a garden. Select your colour, 

 then the length, and then the time of flowering. A 

 beautiful pillar is ** a thing of beauty and a joy for 

 ever." Yes, even when the Roses have gone.
