OUTDOOR ROSE GROWING 



growing. A color-plate with an accompanying full 

 description is given of each of these roses. 



This selection includes one white, one white with 

 center shaded primrose or lightest blush, two flesh- 

 colored one shaded peach to lilac and the other 

 shaded shell pink. 



Four pinks: one light pink, one dark to imperial 

 pink, one flesh to light salmon pink, and one silver 

 pink to dark salmon sometimes coral pink. 



Four shades of red: crimson cerise, bright crim- 

 son, brilliant carmine and scarlet crimson. 



Four shades of yellow : light yellow, yellow-orange, 

 coppery rose and reddish bronze. 



In this following selection of sixteen roses we have 

 included the best rose of each main shade. Their 

 qualities have been noted in the description which 

 accompanies them; there is no doubt, from our 

 experiments, that these are the best outdoor roses 

 for our climate and will give absolute satisfaction. 

 We have given this list and their descriptions before 

 coming to the general list because we particularly 

 wish to emphasize their value. 



There are roses in the mam list under No. 2 

 heading which are better than some in the above 

 selection, but they are of different shades. The 

 best rose of each main color is the one specified in 

 this sixteen.
