OUTDOOR ROSE GROWING 



PINK SECTION 



This class comprises the largest of all colors, but 

 many are so similar that it is not necessary to include 

 any but the best and most distinct which have stood 

 out here and also with other growers in different 

 sections of the country. In this connection Lady 

 Ashtown is omitted because this rose has not tested 

 well either on Multiflora or Briar. Grossherzog 

 Friedrich is a lighter salmon pink and Frau Mar- 

 grethe Moller is a darker salmon pink, and both far 

 exceed Ashtown in blooming; but if unable to secure 

 these newer roses, Ashtown is suggested. 



Madame Maurice de Luze and La France are most 

 distinct in perfume. For beauty of cut flowers Lady 

 Alice Stanley, Madame Segond Weber and Mrs. 

 George Shawyer are recommended; but this whole 

 class is an all-round one, and practically all the roses 

 in it are useful to a great extent for cutting.
