EVER-BLOOMING ROSES AND VINES 243 



weak stems that it is quite worthless to cut; and 

 it fades soon after placing in water. It is quite 

 effective if planted in quantities as a bedding 

 Rose, for its freedom of bloom can be relied upon 

 to supply colour to the garden throughout the 

 Summer. 



BESSIE BROWN; a white Rose, large and with a 

 well-formed effective flower. A vigorous grower 

 and blooms abundantly. This, like Killarney, is 

 one of Dickson & Sons' Roses, and they are both 

 desirable for the Rose garden. 



Following is an additional list of Monthly Roses 

 that are not as sure blooming as those mentioned 

 above ; but all will give much delight to the grower 

 if he has room to use them. It is impossible to 

 give a list of Roses that are sure to succeed with 

 everybody. Some will bloom bountifully for one 

 person, and not at all for the next. The best way 

 is to find out from experience what Roses will do 

 well in your garden, and to make much of these. 

 The soil, the location, the slight variation of 

 climate or temperature, the exposure, all enter into 

 consideration when cultivating this most fickle 

 plant.
