OUTDOOR ROSE GROWING 



It would be easy to make list No. 3 very much 

 larger; for instance, in the case of the single Irish 

 roses, we have included in this list only the best 

 of this type. If one of these roses is tried, and the 

 person so experimenting wishes more, it is very 

 easy for him to order others. Originally our list 

 was very much larger, but we have cut it down on 

 the theory that we wish every rose contained therein 

 to be the very best of its kind, or to have some 

 special merit. For this reason there may be some 

 few roses which it will be thought we should have 

 included, and, no doubt, we could have included 

 more which might do well under certain conditions; 

 but for average conditions, and particularly for the 

 amateur rose grower, who does not wish a very 

 large number of roses, this list will be found more 

 than sufficient, and this book is especially written 

 for such persons. 



All the best Hybrid Perpetuals are included in the 

 list No. 3, the only Hybrid Perpetual being put in 

 Nos. 1 or 2 being Frau Karl Druschki. No other 

 Hybrid Perpetual will compare with Druschki as a 

 bloomer, for, as a rule, the Hybrid Perpetuals 

 bloom only in June for a short season. It is true 

 that occasionally a flower or two will make its 

 appearance in the autumn, but these blooms can- 

 not be counted upon.
