MAKING A ROSE GARDEN 81 



not only a favorite but especially deserves its popularity. It is 

 the perfection of Rose form, a Killarney in miniature, of a creamy 

 color with deeper saffron tones in the heart, and its clusters of 

 blossoms are not only deliciously fragrant but continuously 

 present. Marie Pavie is like this in white with pink center. 



George Elger is a Polyantha like the Cecile Brunner, but gives 

 the yellow note in these plantings. This is truly an everblooming 

 Rose. The clusters of buds are pure saffron yellow, exquisite 

 in color and form, they open very quickly on the bushes and are 

 almost white when in full bloom. This is a very desirable plant- 

 ing. These dainty little Roses are also useful for the large beds 

 of the informal gardens. For the Rose borders or the beds in 

 the formal plantings. Winter carpets of Pansies and Violas are 

 charming and the Roses seem to bloom more freely for having 

 had their company. 



The hardiness of the Tea and Noisette Roses in the South 

 enables us to plant these vigorous and rampant climbers on trel-

 teous beauty and fragrance from year to year and almost from 

 month to month. Long walks over which are arbors wreathed 

 in the climbing forms of Devoniensis, Malmaison (which are 

 nearly evergreen), Lamarque, Reve d'Or, Marechal Niel and 

 Cloth of Gold, Kaiserin Augusta Victoria and Reine Marie Hen- 

 riette are scenes of unexampled loveliness from month to month. 

 All of these are vigorous and hardy climbers and make wonderful 

 Summer screens for the second-story sleeping porches as well as 

 for the lower plantings. 



For small arches and porch pillars it is better to plant the less 

 vigorous varieties Hke the Ramblers and Wichuraiana hybrids. 

 Of the latter the Lady Gay and Dorothy Perkins are the best 

 known pink, while for yellow tones there is Gardenia, for the 

 white, Alberic Barbier, and for the deeper color, Ferdinand Rous- 

 sel, which is wine-red. The single-flowered Jersey Beauty and 

 the red Hiawatha, with its white center, are also very attractive. 

 These Roses may be trained to the desired height and then the 

 branches, if allowed to droop, will form graceful festoons of lovely 

 blossoms at the annual Springtime harvest. These hybrids are
