China and Hermosa pink. 



Pompon Fabvier fine red. 



Roses Cramoisie-supe'rieure red ; will climb. 



The free-growing Monthlies can be planted among shrubs 

 in herbaceous borders. A tangle of Cramoisie Superieure with 

 Spiroea Aruncus and the Gum Cistus is delightful. The white 

 flowers of the Cistus glisten all the morning, but by twelve 

 o'clock their beauty is gone, the petals fallen to the ground, 

 and only the sprays of buds are left, with their promise for the 

 morrow. Another good contrast of white and red can be got 

 with this same red China Rose and double Deutsia. This bush 

 grows eight or ten feet high, forming graceful sprays of white, 

 and the Roses will tumble about over the topmost shoots. 

 Perhaps the prettiest effect of all is a white Cluster Rose wreathed 

 with the long trails of Tropteolum Speciosum. 



The Pompon Roses are also among the earliest, and make 

 neat little plants which cover themselves with bloom, and flower 

 again late in the year. Perle d'Or is one of the most fascinating ; 

 when nearly all other Roses have disappeared we often pick 

 fine shoots bearing ten to fifteen of its miniature copper-coloured 

 flowers. All the following kinds are good : 



Anna Marie de Montravel white. 



Schneewitchen white. 



Colibri white shaded to yellow in middle. 



Leonie Lamesch deep orange and red, most brilliant and 

 unusual in colour. 



Mignonette pink. 



It is impossible to do more than mention my own favourites, 

 as a suggestion towards a few of the many Roses that should 

 be grown for mid- June.
