24 GARDENING DIFFICULTIES SOLVED 



A. Yes ; these may be transplanted in November, and they will 

 be tolerably successful, but we do not advise this being done if it can 

 possibly be avoided, as you would obtain nothing like the vigour 

 from the buds you would if the stocks were not disturbed. The list 

 you give is a very good one, and you will not be far wrong in plant- 

 ing the varieties named. There are a few good show Roses which 

 you might add, such as Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, Madame Jules 

 Gravereaux, Florence Pemberton, Madame Segond Weber, Lyon Rose, 

 Princess Mertchersky, and Yvonne Vacherot, that would be 

 immensely useful to you for exhibition purposes. 



Roses for Pergola 



Q. I have just put up a pergola in my garden in Hertfordshire, 

 and should be glad to know of a good selection of varieties to plant. 

 I want chiefly Roses that give good quality blooms. E. W. W. 



A. The selection given below, when established, cannot fail to 

 make a very beautiful feature of the garden. For a pergola to look 

 really well it is necessary that there should be a certain simultaneity 

 of flowering of the various sorts planted. As you wish to confine 

 your pergola to Roses we name a few fast growing sorts that should 

 be planted at intervals, say of about 8 yards. For east side the 

 following rapid growers are recommended, Dorothy Perkins, 

 Hiawatha, Edmund Proust, White Dorothy Perkins, Blush Rambler, 

 Delight. For the west side, Felicite Perpetue, Mrs. F. W. Flight, 

 Crimson Rambler, Lady Godiva, Madame Alfred Carriere, Minne- 

 haha. Plant about four varieties of the following in between each 

 set of two fast growers in the order named herewith. For east side, 

 Waltham Climber No. 1, Climbing Caroline Testout, Monsieur Desir, 

 Climbing La France, Aimee Vibert, Conrad F. Meyer, Kaiserin 

 Friedrich, J. B. Clark, Alister Stella Gray, Climbing Captain Christy, 

 Ulrich Brunner, Madame Jules Siegfried, Reine Marie Henriette, 

 Climbing Frau Karl Druschki, Reve d'Or, Madame Wagram, Boule 

 de Neige, Ella Gordon. On the west side, Gloire de Dijon, Gaston 

 Chandon, Climbing K. A. Victoria, Climbing Mrs. W. J. Grant, 

 Madame I. Periere, Crepuscule, Ards Rover, Nova Zembla, Madame 

 Berard, Francois Crousse, Climbing Devoniensis, Climbing Pride of 

 W T altham, Zephirine Drouhin, Gloire Lyonnaise, Lady Waterlow, 

 Duchesse dAuerstadt, Hugh Dickson, Madame Hector Leuilliot, Dr. 

 Rouges, Mrs. Paul. The above selection is made primarily with the 

 object of providing a glorious show at one time, although they will 

 give Roses throughout a long period.
