126 AROUND THE YEAR IN THE GARDEN 



or less throughout the summer. They are known as 

 " monthly roses." In the Northern States they must be 

 given protection. 



Among the popular hybrid teas are General Me Arthur, 

 a vivid scarlet; La France, satiny pink; Kaiserin Augusta 

 Victoria, white, tinted with lemon; Killarney, brilliant 

 pink; Lion, deep coral pink; Chateau de Clos-Vougeot, 

 rich scarlet and a steady bloomer. Roses grown in the 

 standard or tree form are very effective. Hybrid per- 

 petuals are the most satisfactory for this purpose. 



The tea roses, while deliciously fragrant, are not so hardy 

 as the hybrid teas and have been to a large extent super-

 garden culture are: Harry Kirk, yellow; Maman Cochet, 

 deep rose pink; Souvenir de Pierre Netting, canary yellow; 

 White Maman Cochet; William R. Smith, pinkish white; 

 and the new coppery yellow Lady Hillingdon, which is 

 proving good for garden use. 



Dwarf Ramblers for Borders 



For bedding or low borders or where roses are wanted in 

 combination with other flowers, the Polyantha and dwarf

 and the most steady flowering of all. Many of them are 

 only eighteen to twenty-four inches high, and they require 

 practically no pruning but the removal of old wood and old 

 flower stems. They are good for use in pots as well as in 

 the garden. 



When your rose plants for the new bed arrive unpack them 

 carefully and examine the roots to see if they have become 

 dry in transit. If so, water them carefully or set the balls 

 into a shallow pan of water and let them absorb enough to 

 get thoroughly moist again without getting muddy. If 

 the plants cannot be set out immediately, keep them in 

 some place where they will get plenty of air but will be 

 protected from the wind and the full, strong sunlight. If
