HOW TO GROW^ ROSES 



Roses for the Cemetery 



''Scatter upon me rose leaves.''^ 



— William W'etmore Storey 



For some cemeteries we recommend roses that almost care 

 for themselves — the Wichuraiana type. They creep like ivy 

 and make a mat of shiny fohage which is green for eleven 

 months. 



Next to these, we like the dwarf, compact-growing, free- 

 flowering Polyanthas, especially the White Baby Rambler, 

 Gruss an Aachen, Marie Pavic, and Echo. If you can care for 

 bush roses, select from the "Universal Favorites" and special- 

 purpose sets, page 39, according to locality. If you want some 

 of the sturdiest growers obtainable, choose from this list: 



Sir Thomas Lipton. (H. Rug.) White. Mme. Plantier. White. 

 Frau Karl Druschki. (HP.) White. 



Single Roses 



These are an interesting 

 group in themselves and repre- 

 sented in various classes. 

 The single Irish roses are best 

 among the Hybrid Teas. 



Irish Elegance (see cut). 

 Irish Brightness. 

 Irish Fireflame. 



The species roses are 

 most interesting, and 

 among the best of them 

 are Xanthina, 

 Hugonis, Spinosis- , 

 sima altaica, Hu- - 

 mulus, A loyesii, and 

 Watsonii. "^ 



For Edging Beds 



Polyanthas now offer an 

 assortment in nearly every 

 color-class (page 170).
