Round the Year in the Garden 



vigorous ; Grace Darling, cream and rose, almost always 

 in bloom ; Lieutenant Chaure, red ; Mrs. Amy Hammond, 

 pale amber ; Rosomane Narcisse Thomas, reddish apricot ; 

 Comtesse du Cay la, nasturtium red and yellow, a dainty 

 little Rose, always in bloom ; Arthur R. Goodwin, bronze 

 and yellow shades, makes a delightful standard; W. R- 

 Smith, cream white shaded with pink, bears beautiful 

 blooms on long stems that droop; Mrs. Sophia Neate, 

 salmon-pink, a Tea Rose of more than usual vigour ; Mrs. 

 Herbert Stevens, white, a splendid Tea with faint rose 

 shading ; Hugo Roller, Tea, pale lemon with rose shading, 

 not very vigorous, but altogether delightful ; Harry Kirk, 

 a good yellow Tea ; Anna Olivier, rose and buff, Tea ; 

 G. Nabonnand, pale rose and yellow, Tea ; Natalie Bottner, 

 cream-yellow ; Mrs. Alfred Tate, reddish copper shades ; 

 Mrs. David McKee, cream ; Melody, saffron - yellow ; 

 Madame Edouard Herriot, coral-red, Pernetiana ; Chrissie 

 McKellar, yellow and rose shades. All are Hybrid Teas 

 unless otherwise described. 



A few climbers that appeal especially to me are 

 Tausendschon, rose ; Rubin, rose-red ; Shower of Gold, 

 little yellow buds and whitish flowers ; Alberic Barbier, 

 yellow buds of perfect form and white flowers; Trier, 

 single, white, flowers throughout the summer : Zephirine 

 Drouhin, the Thornless Rose, rose-coloured, splendid for 

 a fence, blooms all summer ; Noella Nabonnand, crimson ; 

 Rene Andre, salmon, rose and yellow. There are, of 

 course, very many others worthy of space in a garden, 

 such for example as Dorothy Perkins, pink ; Hiawatha, 

 single, crimson ; Lady Godiva, pale pink ; American Pillar, 

 large single, pink blossoms; Blush Rambler, apple-blossom 

 colour ; Edmond Proust, carmine and bronze shades ; 

 Sander's White, perhaps the best of the white ramblers ; 

 Helene, pale rose with mauve tinge ; Joseph Billiard, deep 

 rose and yellow, single ; Minnehaha, rose colour ; Reve 

 d'Or, yellow; Tea Rambler, copper and pink.
