and other summer-blooming Roses (excepting the 
very choicest kinds) have long been thrown out of 
cultivation. There are, however, many varieties of 
this family, possessing a brilliancy and richness of 
colour, together with flowers of perfect form and 
chaste outline combined with delicious fragrance, 
which for Garden Roses cannot be dispensed with, 
They are all perfectly hardy, and will grow in any 
ordinary garden soil, though improved by, and well 
deserving of liberal cultivation. They are all suit- 
able for growing as standards or dwarf bushes, and 
no Roses bloom more abundantly, nor produce a 
finer show throughout June and July. Moderate 
close pruning is necessary, the heads being kept 
well thinned out of the small and weak wood.
