ROSA. 



THE ENGLISH FLOWER GARDEN. 



ROSA. 



Roses of our day. Now they are of 

 very slight value, except for the wild 

 garden, and entirely without value for 

 the flower garden. Of the polyantha 

 Roses, I like much the wild kind, but 

 the forms made from it are inferior and 

 rarely worth growing. Noisettes are 

 simply a source of futile division. The 

 best of them might well be put with 

 the Teas. And so with the Damask, 

 which is of little value except as a 

 curiosity. And the same may be said

In the face of these facts the best I 

 think I can do is to tell of Roses that 

 have given satisfactory results here 

 for years. No attempt is made to 

 classify them, but I simply give a list 

 of the proved kinds. No doubt indi- 

 vidual taste will vary, but these may 

 be depended on. Some of them, like 

 the China and the Cramoisie, are very 

 old and among the best :
