Ayrshire Rose. Rubiginosa is the Sweet-brier. Rugosa is the 

 Japanese Rose. Semper virens is the Evergreen Rose. Wichuraiana 

 (syn. Luciae) is one of the parents of many modern beautiful 

 climbers, such as Dorothy Perkins, Lady Gay, and Alberic Barbier. 

 Rose gardens. The flower garden must have Roses, unless it is 

 so near a town that the Queen of Flowers refuses to thrive. Owners 

 of large places may select a site, and form a set of Rose beds. It is 

 a nice idea to plant a Yew hedge round the site, clipped to a formal 

 shape, as it makes a splendid background for Roses, and has a quaint, 

 old-world appearance. At each opening set an arch. Each bed 

 may be planted with a separate variety and special sorts should be 

 chosen. The following are good bedding Roses: 



Baby Dorothy 



Betty 



Caroline Testout 



Corallina 



Edu Meyer 



Frau Karl Druschki 



Griiss an Teplitz 



Hugh Dickson 



La France 



Madame Abel Chatenay 



Mrs. John Laing 



Ulrich Brunner 



Set the plants 2 ft. apart. 

 The following will succeed on arches and pillars: 



Alberic Barbier 

 Blush Rambler 

 Carmine Pillar 

 Coquina 

 Dorothy Perkins 



Lady Godiva 

 Leuchtstern 

 Mrs. F. W. Flight 

 Philadelphia Rambler 

 White Dorothy 



All grow vigorously and bloom profusely. It is not every Rose 

 lover who is able to lay out a complete Rose garden; but plenty 

 can plant a selection of Roses in a bed or border. In such cases 

 they may prefer a larger selection of varieties, and the following 

 can be recommended with confidence: 



Hybrid Perpetuals. 

 Chas. Lefebvre 

 Earl of Dufferin 

 Frau Karl Druschki 

 Hugh Dickson 

 Mrs. John Laing
