Roses 



Roses as a class do not thrive in a dry climate, 

 therefore the list for San Diego is very limited,

 roses, five or six varieties and you have the list of 

 truly desirable climbers. But it is most gratifying to 

 know that this limited number serves us well. 



If I were putting in a private garden for myself, I 

 would confine myself to the following list: 



General McArthur Kaiserine Augusta Vic-

 Cecil Brunner

 I would give garden room to. Mrs. A. R. Waddell, a 

 reddish apricot toned with salmon, and the new rose,
