130 EVERSLEY GARDENS 



if we desire to keep to one colour in the bed. 

 I did this eighteen months ago putting four 

 large plants in the centre with white and palest 

 lemon. And lo ! the intense sun of last 

 Summer did for Hampshire what, I am told, 

 always happens in New South Wales ; and Marie 

 blushed violently pink. The disastrous effect 

 may readily be imagined ; and the dear creature 

 is now lifted and planted where she can do no 

 harm and only give delight, her place being taken 

 by Augustine Guinoisseau, the white La France. 



Without making a list many pages in length 

 it is impossible to mention all' the desirable 

 and hardy Tea Roses that we may grow in our 

 borders. So I will confine myself to a few of 

 my special favourites some of which are not 

 as well known as they should be in English 

 gardens. Among the pale fawn, yellow, and 

 white shades, the fine White Maman Cochet is 

 an excellent Autumn Rose ; and so is the grand 

 apricot-yellow Souvenir de Pierre Notting: but 

 this last and Enchantress, another lovely Rose, 

 should be grown as standards to enjoy the full 

 beauty of their drooping blossoms. Safrano^
