ROSES OF VARIOUS COLOURS AND TINTS 



Roses vary so much in colour that classification is difficult. Where space allows, it 

 is always advisable to plant a bed or group of one kind. For instance, if a mass of rich 

 pink were required, far better to plant a kind like Caroline Testout than several varieties 

 approaching it in colour. But as this work is for the beginner, we have given the names 

 of a few of the best varieties of their colour. Those kinds marked ** are very vigorous, 

 and best fitted for large bushes or clusters of beds. Other kinds marked thus * are 

 vigorous.
