THE ROSE SEASON OF 1895. 
Ae all, we can say with some degree of 
confidence, that past summer has been 
far from a bad one for Roses. The prospects 
after the frost e up were “pot reassuring ; 
loss and damag 
dei were qiii for results were very dif- 
ferent in the same districts, and the difference 
spring without an exceptionally 
sharp late frost, furnished the best possible result 
from the little wood that was spared, and one of 
the features of the season has been the beauty of 
the garden or decorative Roses, Many of these 
are not only less hardy of themselves than others, 
but their long growths are more fully exposed 
to the weather. Much of the injury during the 
frost was caused by the sudden and extreme 
changes in temperature, night a frost of 
about 20° or more frequently occurred, and day 
by day a few hours 2 mad the wood 
was thaw 
upon 
"by the brightness of th the sun. ‘This 
and as we chiefly grow our climbers and gar- 
den Roses upon walls or in sheltered places, 
re naturally suffered severely. Under such 
noes, it was surprising to see garden 
pyem so good as they have been. At p^ M uir 
and latest shows they were as 
previous season, Some of this may be the teil 
of their more extended culture; still, there is 
the fact, that at Gloucester and at Derby we saw 
some truly pienti stands of garden Roses. 
. Teas settes, too, notwithstanding the 
dea (still more prevalent than I could have 
oredited) of their extreme tenderness, have been 
very good. Undoubtedly, the best of these were 
seen at Gloucester, although some good blooms 
were exhibited at the National Rose Sooiety's 
meeting at Derby. I think the competition at 
Gloucester, the Crystal Palace, and Derby, as well 
as the many other Rose exhibitions held in the 
country, was greater even than usual, while in 
many cases there were more exhibitors than I 
in mid-Sussex, we E 
standards -standards are disappointingly 
puny. It seems as Мк» * cold had ри 
or bound the bark їп way, that it w 
unable to swell and allow of a a healthy func 
and growth

outright. At pruning-time I did not mcn to 
see so good а Rose season; ind seemed 
quite impossible under the ёра гоа con- 
nU of spring and summer. Bu t we have
