12 PICTORIAL PRACTICAL ROSE GROWING. 
There is an abundance of rambling and pillar Roses—sprawl- 
ing fellows, with great long arms of blossom. 
The modern Rose Garden owes much to the influence of 
Dean Hole. In his early Rose-growing days almost uncon- 
querable in the show tent, the famous rosarian gave consider- 
able attention, after his retirement from the arena, to the use 
of the Rose as a garden flower. His work and influence in this 
direction are likely to live when the memory of his show 
triumphs has passed away. More than one exquisite garden 
stands as a living monument to his skill and breadth of taste. 
As acase in point, the beautiful Rose Garden of Lady Falmouth, 
at Mereworth Castle, Kent, may be quoted. There are seen 
beds on turf, each planted wholly with one variety, the varieties 
comprising Teas, Hybrid Teas, and Perpetuals. There are 
arches, some covered with Crimson Rambler and its beautiful 
daughters Thalia, Aglaia, and Euphrosyne, others clad in glitter- 
ing streamers of Longworth Rambler and Paul’s Carmine Pillar. 
The plan (Fig. 1) shown on page 10 is a Rose Garden of the 
modern type. It is small, and, on that account, may suit the 
requirements of people whose means are limited. In addition 
to the plants, there will be an expense for arches and pillars. 
The most lasting form of arch is one of galvanised wire, painted 
with one coat of white-lead paint. The pillars may consist of 
Larch or Ash poles. In Hop-growing districts it is often possible 
to buy a few stout poles ready “pickled” from a friendly 
farmer. They should be 10 or 12 feet long, and 5 or 6 inches 
through at the base. If an arrangement cannot be made with a 
Hop grower, it will be necessary to peel and creosote the poles, 
or paint them with Stockholm tar thinned with petroleum. 
ig. 2 (page 11) shows another design, a litéle smaller, but 
equally complete. Fig. 3 (page 13) shows a medium-sized 
garden, complete with its sheltering banks of trees, and Fig. 4 
(p. 14) a fourth, with some variation in the form of the beds. 
The series of plans here given, with the table of references 
contiguous to each, will afford suggestions to those who wish 
to have a complete Rose home, whether small or large ; but it 
would be regrettable if other people were frightened away from 
Rose-growing owing to lack of space and means for carrying out 
the ideas suggested. Houses have walls, gardens often have 
fences ; arches and poles for pillars are cheap ; beds can easily 
be prepared. However small the garden, a few Roses can be 
grown, and pleasure in bounteous store derived from them.
