CHAP. XI VILLA GAEDENING 69 



Mayo, Perle des Jardins, Xavier Olibo, White Baroness, and 

 Merville de Lyons. 



I believe I have culled the best from among the large number 

 of Hybrid Perpetuals now in the catalogues, both for exhibition and 

 also for the garden. 



Soil and climate have an effect upon Eoses, as well as all other 

 things, and for that reason I have given a longer list than some 

 may think necessary. But the Hybrid Perpetuals are the most 

 useful section of the family, and in dealing with the other branches 

 I will be more moderate in my desires. 



Perpetual Moss Roses. — James Veitch, Madame Moreau, 

 Blanche Moreau, Mrs. W. Paul, Soupert et Notting, Perpetual 

 White, Salet. 



High feeding and close winter pruning are among the necessary 

 requirements of Moss Roses. 



Bourhon Roses. — Acidalie, Baronne Gonella, Emotion, Gloire 

 de Rosameue, Louise Margottin, Queen of Bedders, Queen of Bour- 

 bons, Souvenir de la Malmaison. 



The Bourbons are very free and continuous bloomers. 



Tea and Noisette Roses. — Anna Olivier, Alba Rosea, Adam, 

 Aline Sisley, Belle Lyonnaise, Bouquet d'Or, Catherine Mermet, 

 Celine Forestier, Comtesse de Nadaillac, Comte de Paris, Caroline 

 Kuster, Devoniensis, Gloire de Dijon, Homere, Innocente Pirola, 

 Isabella Sprant, Jean Ducher, Jean Pernet, Lamarque, Marie Van 

 Houtte, Mardchal Niel, Madame Willermoz, Madame Falcot, 

 Madame Lambard, Madame Margottin, Madame Berard, Madame 

 de St. Joseph, Moire, Nijjhetos, Perle des Jardins, Perle de Lyon, 

 President, Reve d'Or, Rubens, Souvenir d'un Ami, Souvenir d'Elise, 

 Souvenir d'Paul Neron, Safrano. 



China Roses. — These are not numerous, but several of them, 

 including the common old blush or pink and the crimson, are good 

 for bedding, as they will flower in a sheltered situation pretty well 

 all the year round. Louis Phillipe, Ducher, Fabvier, and Mrs. 

 Bosanquet are useful for bedding or planting in masses anywhere. 

 The old Pink China, for instance, in a large mass, never seems out 

 of place anywhere. The Fairy Roses belong to this section. 



Summer Roses. — The Provence or Cabbage Rose, with its large, 

 fragrant, rose-coloured flowers, has been got rid of in many gardens, 

 to the great regret of those who have so unwisely discarded an old 

 friend. The old white Provence is a very beautiful Rose, especially 

 in the bud state. I have seen an old-fashioned garden with 

 some rare wide-spreading bushes of it. The old York and Lancaster 

 Rose is very scarce now. I only know one garden in Ramsey, 

 Hunts, possessing it in any abundance. Apart from the legend
