THE TEA-SCENTED ROSE. I .'{.'3 



and " Herbaceous," of which we may instance the Yellow. The former, which 

 are marked t, are far hardier than the others, and form good Standards. If the 

 latter are grown as such, they must be thoroughly protected during winter. 

 —See p. 126, Div. I. 



If trained to a wall with a south or east aspect the Tea-Roses grow vigorously, 

 and flower in great beauty, much earlier and finer than in the open ground, pro- 

 ducing a constant succession of flowers for one half of the year. They also flower 

 well grown in pots and plunged in the open ground, if removed to a cold frame 

 for protection during winter. But for Pot-culture under glass, for Forcing, and 

 for planting out in the Conservatory, they are unsurpassed. 



There are some fine specimens in the border of the Conservatory at the Hor- 

 ticultural Society's Gardens at Chiswick, and there are others in the Conservatory 

 at Orleans House, Twickenham. At the latter place, the vigorous growers are 

 trained up wire pillars to the height of 12 feet ; the flowers, drooping with their 

 own weight, are displayed to great advantage. Their elegant and shining foliage 

 is kept on during the greater part of winter, and nothing could be more appro- 

 priate for the position — nothing more beautiful.
