ROSES CLASSED ACCORDING TO COLOUR 



Roses vary so much in colour that classification is difficult. Where space allows, it 

 is always advisable to plant a bed or group of one sort. For instance, if a mass of rich 

 pink were required, far better to plant a Rose like Caroline Testout than several varieties 

 approaching it in colour. But as this work is for the beginner, we have given the names 

 of a few of the best varieties of their colour. Those marked ** are very vigorous, and 

 best as large bushes or in clusters in beds. Others marked thus * are vigorous.
