Garden-group 17. Polyantha. Perpetual - flowering 

 varieties of the Multiflora group. The term in gardens 

 is taken to include a large number of small cluster-flow- 

 ered, climbing Roses, and is particularly important in 

 American Rose culture, as the basis of a new section of 

 hybrids with the Teas and (erroneously) including hy- 

 brids of Wichuraiaua and Teas. JI. H. Walsh iu Mas- 

 sachusetts, M. Horvath in Ohio, and Jackson Daw- 

 son in Massachusetts have accomplished important 

 work in this field. Some of Walsh's recent introduc- 

 tions, as Debutante and Sweetheart, not as yet fairly 

 tried, and the Dawson Rose may be classed here. They 

 are valuable as trellis and pillar Roses for garden deco- 

 ration. 



Garden-group 18. Perpetual Briers. Of this group 

 there are about iive important types. 



Rugosa or Japan Rose, a low-growing buph: hardy: 

 useful as a hedge plant, and specially adapted for ex- 

 posed situations near the seashore. Figs. 21C2-4. 

 Hybrids have been made with other Perpetual groups, 

 especially Teas and H P's Mme Georges Bruant is 

 a type. The Rugosa blood is strongly seen m all cases. 

 Lucida, a small insignificant group, having some 

 connection witli the Macartnej 

 Microphylla has minute leaflets 

 Berberidifolia has leaves somewhat resembling bar 

 berry. 



Perpetual Scotch, a perpetual flowering form of 

 Rosa spinosissima, probably a hjbiid from the Dam 

 ask. 



Garden- group 19. Etetgieen Two types, as follow s 

 Macartney, slender sweetly scented and very flonf 

 erous throughout the season. Is derived from 7i' 

 braefenta. 



Wichuraiaua. The Wichuraiana hybrids alreadj ii 

 ferred to in the Pohanth-i group may dubioush be 

 included here. Thej hd\e not \tt been sufhcientlj

A warm sunny spot shieldi d fiom strong or bleak 

 winds should be chosen for the Rose garden A piece 

 of woods or a hedge offer good protettion if they are 

 far enough away from the bushes so that thej do not 

 shade them or rob them of nourishment Dean Hole
