FOR WALLS FACING WEST 



Also sundry climbing H.T.s, such as J. B. 

 Clark, Liberty, and Mrs. W. J. Grant. 



FOR WALLS FACING EAST 



In making pergolas it is as well to plant 

 between the climbers specimens of the tall- 

 growing, sweet-scented H.P.'s such as Hugh 

 Dickson, Dr. Andry, and Ben Cant, and the 

 climbing H.T.'s such as J. B. Clark, Liberty, 

 and Mrs. W. J. Grant, and Rugosas such 

 as Conrad F. Meyer and Nova Zembla, as 

 these fill with foliage and flowers the bare 

 lower spaces and in every way heighten the 

 effect by making the sides into a living wall 

 of greenery and blossom. If this method 



'be not adopted it is necessary to keep a 

 number of the growths on the climbers cut 

 more or less short to prevent any bare 

 appearance at the sides. 



ROSES FOR PILLARS 



Roses for this purpose may be trained up 

 or attached to a pole or other support, such 

 as a triangle of bamboos or poles, or if 

 desired of only moderate height they may be 

 grown merely as sturdy bushes ; even when 

 grown in the latter form some support is 

 advisable in windy districts. 



Any of the Wichuraiana and other Roses 

 recommended for pergolas can be used for 

 this purpose, also tall -growing H.T.'s such 

 as Climbing Caroline Testout, Paul's Car- 

 mine Pillar, Reine Olgar de Wiirtemberg, 

 and Tea Rambler, a Tea Rose. 



For shorter pillars, say 7 to 8 feet or less, 

 there are : 



and many others. 



Some of the best Roses to grow as large 

 free bushes are :
