124 THE GARDEN BEAUTIFUL 



The polyanthas or "buttonhole" roses are small, 

 very free bloomers, bearing flowers of most exqui- 

 site form. The ones best known are Cecile Brunner 

 and its climbing variety, Baby Rambler, Crimson 

 Rambler, and Yellow Rambler. 



The teas are an old-time, free-blooming, "cranky" 

 type, their luxuriance of flowers, delicate tints, and 

 fine forms making them very popular. They grow 

 less vigorously than the hybrid teas, but many of 

 them will thrive in soils too light and sandy for 

 hybrid perpetuals. Some of the better-known and 

 time-proven are : Bride, Bridesmaid, Dean Hole, 

 Duchesse de Brabant, General McArthur, Laurette, 

 Papa Gontier, Peace, Reine Marie Henriette, and 

 Maman Cochet. 



The hybrid teas are much stronger in growth than 

 the teas, occupying in this respect a position mid- 

 way 'twixt the teas and the hybrid perpetuals, hav- 

 ing the free-flowering habit of the former, combined 

 with the rich colors and general vigor of the latter. 

 Among them are: Caroline Testout, Kaiserin Au- 

 gusta Victoria, Killarney, La France, the first of 

 this type, 1867, and Madam Abel Chatenay. 



Hybrid perpetuals or remontants are easily dis- 

 tinguished by luxuriance of foliage, vigor of growth 

 and large size of flowers. They are not so exacting 

 as other types, thriving with less care, yet equally 

 responsive to good treatment. Their range in color 

 is great, comprising all the shades and tints found 

 in the other classes. They also need more summer 

 rest and may be more heavily pruned. They are 

 the best for those who can bestow but little care 

 on their gardens. Some of the more common are: 

 American Beauty, Frau Karl Druschki, Magna 

 Charta, Paul Neyron and Ulrich Brunner. We have 

 a few of other types, such as briar, prairie, rugosa,
