The Rose Garden 317 



fLouis VAN HOUTTE (H. P.). Once fairly established, the deep red 

 velvety blooms, shaded deeper crimson, are unique among the 

 dark roses. Small foliage. If the plants do not get a good start 

 it is useless to waste time over them. Very fragrant. Remarkably 

 free from mildew for a dark rose. One of the best. Growth 

 moderate. Prune fairly hard. 



MARIE BAUMANN (H. P.). Bright red, resembling very closely the later- 

 blooming Alfred Colomb. Very fragrant. Reliable mid-June 

 bloomer. Floriferous. Flowers well-shaped, semi-globular. 

 Vigorous growth. Prune hard. 



RiE FINGER (H. P.). Synonym Mile. Eugenie Verdier. Bright 

 silvery pink, deeper in centre. Not very fragrant. Good autumnal. 

 Smooth wood. Handsome foliage. Growth moderate. Prune 

 lightly. 



RQUISE DE CASTELLANE (H. P.). Carmine-rose ; not fading in the 

 sun. Flowers full. Not fragrant. One of the most effective pinkish 

 roses and a reliable autumn bloomer. Growth moderate, stocky. 

 Prune moderately. 



* fMRS. JOHN LAING (H. P.). Silvery pink. Continuous bloomer. 



Long stem. Fragrant. For groups, masses and cutting. The 

 best quite hardy pink rose. Vigorous grower. Prune hard. 



* fMRS. R. G. SHARMAN-CRAWFORD (H. P.). Deep rosy pink; outer 



petals shaded pale flesh. Quite distinct from all other H. P. roses. 

 Almost a continuous bloomer, and reliable in autumn. One of the 

 best roses grown. Vigorous. Prune hard. 



*PAUL NEYRON (H. P.). Pink, with purplish tinge. Not specially 

 pleasing in colour, but strong growing and the largest-flowered of all 

 roses; almost equals a peony in size and form. Effective in masses, 

 and useful in spite of its coarseness. Prune hard. 



fPRiDE OF WALTHAM (H. P.). Delicate flesh, shaded bright rose. 

 Flowers opening well, and of good shape. A sport from Countess 

 of Oxford. Very attractive. Vigorous. Prune moderately. 



PRINCE CAMILLE DE ROHAN (H. P.). Synonym, La Rosiere. Deep, 

 velvety crimson. Fragrant. A remarkably floriferous cool- weather 

 rose, but liable to burn in the sun. Grow this rose in a bed where it 

 will have some shade during the hot afternoons. Growth vigorous. 

 Prune moderately hard.
