Single These should all have their poles. They must not be planted 



Roses all at the back of the bed, but some should be allowed to grow 



almost to the front so as to form bays of the bushes and lower 



growing kinds. Perhaps the best single and semi-single bush 



Roses are : 



Austrian Copper. Lucida. 



Yellow. Nitida. 



Altaica. Rugosa atropurpurea. 



Hispida. Gallica Pumila. 



Blanche de Coubert. Scotch, both yellow and 

 Hibernica. white. 



The latter three kinds are suitable for quite the front of the 

 bed. I would recommend for the trailing kinds to be simply 

 left to grow on the ground 



Alberic Ear bier. Jersey Beauty. 



Wichuriana Alba. Rugosa Repens Alba. 



Rubra. 



All the white and yellows and cream coloured Roses 

 should be kept more or less together and the pinker blooms 

 also in groups. In this planting Rosa Rubnfolia must not be 

 forgotten, for its lovely greyish purple foliage will form a large 

 bush in time and is quite distinct from any of the others. 



If all the foregoing can be procured on their own roots 

 they will require little attention, excepting the climbers, which 

 will want a certain amount of tying up to their poles from time 

 to time. 



It is best to place an iron upright support to each pole at 

 the outset, because should the pole rot at the base after a few 

 years when the Roses are clambering about it, much difficulty
