I h;\\v st;ited on (dhcr occasions that 

 a t^iiod rose house is ;i house which will 

 ^^row roses widl, an<l this is true, hut 

 there are dilferent kinds of roses, just 

 as there ,ire dilferent styles of houses. 

 I lia\e seen yooil summer roses in poor 

 liouses running north and south, hut 

 thesi' conditions are the (jpposite of tlu' 

 ideal. My personal opinion is that an 

 e\cn s|ian wide jionse is the best house 

 for roses .•Mid tli;it (|ua lilicat ion. even 

 >^|'an. is put in iiecause 1 li(die\e the 

 even span liou^e is more properjs- \cn 

 tilated than the t wo I li i rds-spa n Or iin

 ;;(ies. any ^ I. modern built iron con- 

 struction house is lii^iit enough Jn all 

 parts for the proper <;rowiny conditions.
