Round the Year in the Garden 



a charming sort, deep yellow in the centre, paler to wards 

 the edges; the blooms are not very large, but they 

 come freely in July and again in autumn. General Mac- 

 Arthur one must have as a red Rose, and what a splendid 

 standard it makes; the flowers are rather thin. As a 

 salmon-pink, Madame Abel Chatenay is unsurpassed ; the 

 long steins render the blooms ideal for cutting. Richmond 

 is an excellent red variety, especially good in autumn, 

 while the exquisite buds and loose blossoms of Betty, 

 rose, yellow and cream shades, are indispensable. Prince 

 de Bulgarie, blush and yellow, is a first rate Rose; it 

 grows vigorously and produces big blooms freely on 

 strong stems. Joseph Hill, yellow and rose shades, is 

 of perfect form, but it has a habit of forming one or two 

 strong shoots to the disadvantage of all others. Duchess 

 of Wellington, orange-yellow, often with reddish shading, 

 is deliciously scented and worth growing for this reason 

 alone, though it is altogether good. The Lyon Rose one 

 must have for its wonderful colouring, pink and orange 

 shades; the blooms droop, and it is therefore best as 

 a standard. Gustav Grunerwald is a distinct bright 

 shade of rose-pink, and blooms well throughout the 

 season. Pharisaer, having finely formed flowers of 

 salmon and blush shades on long stalks, is one of the 

 finest decorative Roses. G. C. Waud is a new shade of 

 colour, almost vermilion, and the blooms are of good 

 form, though the plant is none too vigorous. Jeanne 

 Philippe is a charming variety of soft yellow colouring, 

 rather thin, but fine for garden display. La Tosca can 

 scarcely be omitted from the list, for its salmon-rose 

 blooms, though not very large, are freely produced all 

 the season. 



All those named, with the exception of Frau Karl 

 Druschki (Hybrid Perpetual) and Jeanne Philippe (Tea), 

 belong to the Hybrid Tea class, which is characterised 

 generally by free growth, continuous flowering, and 

 beautiful buds, though in some varieties these soon become
