146 ROSES 



vines are almost sure to be unsightly when 

 out of bloom. Therefore, the rosarium or 

 formal rose garden, which is designed for a 

 big display of double flowers, should be in an 

 enclosed, out-of-the-way place where it will 

 not interfere with landscape effects. The 

 following are excellent for entrances to rose 

 gardens or hedges surrounding them: 



Rosa Mundi (F.), striped red and white. 

 The Scotch, white to pink. 

 Mme. Hardy (D.), white. 

 Persian Yellow (Brier), yellow. 

 Crimson Rambler (M.), crimson. 



R. rugosa, single, pink or white, best for hedges, always 

 sightly. 



Also the stronger growing popular varieties 

 of the H.P. group as enumerated in the lists 

 of resistant and town roses. 



ROSES FOR "STANDARDS" IN FORMAL GARDENS 



The object of "standards" is to break the 

 low level of the rose beds. They fit formal 

 gardens only, and are effective for an "ave- 

 nue" effect on the sides of the principal walks. 

 As ordinarily grown, standard roses are not 

 successful in our gardens, as they suffer from 

 bark scald in summer and they die in winter.
