I. Ground Cover Among Roses. Many persons object to the 

 bare ground existing among roses. For the best success in growing 

 roses every opportunity should be provided for cultivating the 

 area around each rosebush. During a portion of the season, however, 

 this bareness of the soil can be overcome by the use of an interesting 

 carpet, providing colour at a season of the year when the roses have 

 passed the height of their bloom. Any ground-cover planting among 

 roses should be watched carefully in order to eliminate the possi- 

 bility that the ground-cover plants absorb food which should remain 

 for the rose plants, or that they should prevent cultivation at a time 

 when the roses need cultivating.
