ROSES FOR POTS AT CHRISTMAS AND EASTER 



Free-growing, cluster-flowered roses that 

 are easily forced for either holiday. White 

 and light colours are preferred for Easter, 

 red for Christmas. Plants two to four feet 

 high are generally preferred. 



Crimson Rambler, the greatest favourite, grown naturally 



or trained into fantastic forms. 

 Madame Norbert Levavasseur the Baby Rambler is 



a dwarf hybrid from the above, crimson, flowers 



from three inches up. 

 Little Gem (Moss), pink. 

 Blanche Moreau (Moss), white. 

 Dorothy Perkins (R.H.), bright pink equivalent of the 



older Crimson Rambler. 



Lamarque (N.), white, an old favourite now rarely seen. 

 Varieties of the Prairie group (e. g., Russell's Cottage) 



do well; all of rich crimson red shades, worth a trial 



by the amateur.
