DECORATIVE ROSES 



The best bloomers among the best all-round roses 

 will give very much better results than the so-called 

 decorative roses, which have no form and which can- 

 not be used at all for cut flower purposes. As an 

 example of this, the Hybrid Tea, Bouche, gives as 

 much bloom as any other light-colored rose and is 

 valuable for either purpose. 



There are a few other attractive roses which give 

 a fair amount of bloom and are odd in their color, 

 such as Comtesse du Cayla, and these are included 

 in the other sections. The best decorative rose of 

 all is Gruss an Teplitz on account of its wonderful 

 amount of bloom. The best of the Hybrid Teas in 

 the other main colors are, Bouche, under the light; 

 Lady Ursula, under the pinks; and Chrissie Mac- 

 Kellar under the yellows. These are very much 

 to be preferred for ordinary decorative purposes. 



For the edging of a bed, Baby Ramblers are most 

 attractive, and any of the Polyanthas will do well 

 for garden decoration; while the Rugosas and Irish 

 Singles are good for hedges and massing.
