GARDENS OF ROSES 



freedom of bloom. Madame Hoste is also of strong 

 growth, generously producing its roses of canary 

 yellow, daintily edged with cream white. 



The Safrano bears a rose of several shades of yellow, 

 tinted here and there with pink. It has stood the test 

 of years, having been the pride of many an old-time

 its petals are tinged with deep pink. In form it is 

 very graceful, and the plant grows into a compact 

 little bush. It is one of the most noted and generally 

 pleasing of yellow roses.

 much warmth, and should the garden be far northward 

 or greatly exposed to rough weather, it is futile to hope 

 to see it at the height of its beauty showing grace 

 in every outline. It is not a new rose, and has 

 perhaps more admirers than any other yellow rose

 lean to the copper tints, with high lights of scarlet, 

 although their interiors are golden. They are truly 

 children of the sun and most beautiful. 



The Sunset rose, a fit companion for the Sunrise,
