298 The Rose Garden. 



are hardy and thrive well under ordinary culture. Surely, then, this extra care is 

 unnecessary ; we would rather choose the Rose des Rosomanes and Tea-scented for 

 that purpose, for the former are improved by wall culture, and the latter need 

 protection. 



The kinds of vigorous growth form handsome standards ; they also look chaste 

 and elegant trained up pillars or poles. The moderate growers are very pretty as 

 Dwarf Standards ; the Dwarfs form striking and beautiful objects when grown on 

 their own roots. A great many are excellent fey pot culture, and are beautiful in the 

 forcing-house. All prefer and delight in a rich soil, requiring (with the exception of 

 the vigorous kinds) close pruning.
