Marie Henriette may perhaps succeed, if care and 

 trouble in training and feeding can be given to them : 

 but if the arcli is liigh and wide, recourse must be had 

 to some of the many running summer Roses, the best of 

 which will be found noted under their respective classes 

 in Chapter II. 



The same sorts, Ayrshire and Evergreen, Boursault 

 and Multiflora, with the climbing single forms of Poly- 

 antha, are the best for hiding rough places. Bennett's 

 Seedling, Dundee Rambler, Felicite Perpetue, Queen of 

 the Belgians, Ruga, and Splendens are among the best 

 known. After giving the leading shoots the right 

 direction for two or three years, no more care will be 

 required ; the whole space will become a mass of foliage, 

 most thickly covered with bloom for a while at mid- 

 summer. At my old home the whole of the roof of a large 

 and lofty summer-house was completely hidden outside a 

 foot or so deep with the growth of some of these Ayrshires, 

 which were planted against and trained up the front 

 pillars. These sorts, with naturally trailing shoots, are 

 also the most suitable for weeping Roses. 



For cottage gardens, or any places where some show of 

 Roses is required without much attention being paid to 

 them, choice should be made from the hardiest and most 

 free-flowering of those mentioned in Chapter XII. I 

 subjoin, however, a list of 



Tinclvc H.P.sfor cottage gardens.
