In making a selection of varieties suitable for culture 



in a suburban or town garden, there is considerable 



difficulty without knowing the actual circumstances of 



the situation. It may vary from that of a small 



country town, or distant and pure suburb of London, 



in which case if other matters be favourable the best 



Roses may be grown, to that of a real town garden in a 



thoroughly smoky atmosphere, where none can be 



cultivated to perfection. I have consulted some good 



suburban growers, but their lists do not at all agree, 



the probability being that where good Roses can be 



cultivated at all, most of the best sorts will answer. 



It seems, however, to be generally admitted that the 



Austrian briars are as impatient of impure air as any 



Roses.
