THE ROSE 53 



and buds must be used, as it is such a perfect rose 

 that if all one size are used, it looks a little stiff. 

 Frau Karl Druschki. On a hot summer's night there cannot 

 be a more reposeful and refreshing table than one 

 of fine open blooms of this gorgeous rose, with a 

 liberal supply of long sprays of rose foliage, of 

 varieties such as Rubrafolia or some of the Wichu- 

 rianas, notably Alberic Barbier. 



All the IVichurianas make beautifully light small tables, 

 but for large ones they must be enriched by a groundwork 

 of one of the H.P. or H.T. varieties, which matches them, or 

 gives a strong contrast. 



A table decoration, vase, or indeed any arrangement of 

 Roses should, if possible, be made, not only of one colour, 

 but of one variety, or the best possible results cannot be 

 looked for. 



By way of example mention might be made of two Roses 

 which are so much alike that many can scarcely tell one 

 from the other; they are Richmond and Liberty, yet if 

 these two are mixed it will be found that the beautiful 

 outline of both has been lost.
