Chapter 14.—Interesting Features of Rose 
Gardens. 
THE Rose garden of rectangular beds is as much the joy of 
many Rose growers as ever it was, but the Rose garden of 
varied and picturesque features is growing rapidly in favour. 
There is no need to extol the one at the expense of the 
other. They have to be regarded from totally different stand- 
points. For the exhibitor, who wishes to grow a limited 
number of very fine flowers, a series of rectangles, affording 
facilities for the ready inspection of every plant—nay, of every 
stem and leaf—and for rapid, straightforward cultural opera- 
tions, are convenient and suitable. For the decorative gar- 
dener beds of various shapes, banks, arches, hedges, and_per- 
golas are necessary to get the desired effects. . 
Variety of treatment adds immensely to the interest and 
beauty of Rose gardens. It gets the grower a little closer to 
Nature. True, she does not decorate her demesne with gal- 
vanised wire arches at four and sixpence apiece, and it is greatly 
to be feared that many evil deeds are perpetrated by the 
“natural” gardener. But Roses sprawling along a pergola 
certainly have a more natural appearance than a parallelogram 
of standards.
