CASSELL'S POPULAK GARDENING. 



'Eoses are those on their own roots, and these, as well 

 as worked dwarfs, are admirahly adapted for many 

 places and purposes, for which other forms of Rose- 

 plants are less suitable. For fringing heds or borders 

 ■of standard Eoses, and bringing the plants down to 

 kiss or rest on the turf, dwarf Koses are indispens- 

 able. They are also the most effective for the filling 

 of detached beds on lawns, or groups of beds, in 

 Rosaries. In the latter each bed may be furnished 

 with one variety, or varieties of a, similar colour. 

 Such groups, edged with Eoses of a contrasting 

 colour or character, are among the most effective of 

 all methods of garden furnishing. 



To enumerate all these would be like repeating 

 aU the best already given ; for there are few or 

 none amongst them that might not naturally grow 

 or, with a little manipulation, be moulded into 

 dwarfs. In general terms it may be stated that 

 nearly the whole of the Hybrid Perpetuals, aU the 

 Teas, with perhaps the single exception of Mare- 

 chal Niel, all the Bourbons, Chinas, Provence, Moss, 

 Scotch, and Multiflora sections, and several of the 

 Noisettes, make capital dwarfs. 



The following will, however, be found ampng the 

 very best to grow in single lines, or in masses in beds 

 and borders. 



To prevent repetition and economise space, the 

 Hybrid Perpetuals wiR appear under colour head- 

 ings, and all further description be dispensed with. 

 It must not, however, be assumed from this that the 

 colours are the same through the whole group. On 

 the contrary, they vary very much indeed, though 

 they will be found sufficiently ajike to mass together 

 in the same group or bed.

Yello'W Bedding Roses. — The time may come 

 when the great family of Hj'brid Perpetuals will 

 furnish our beds and borders with goldenRoses. But 

 this time seems still afar off, not the slightest break 

 having yet been made into this new ground. Our 

 best golden Rose — the Marechal Niel — is too weakly 

 in its stems, and too weighty in its blooms, to look its 

 best as a dwarf Rose. Harrisonii makes a brilliant 

 bed, as also doesCelineForestier,Triomphe de Eennes, 

 Safrano, and Belle Lyonnaise. Gloire de Dijon, how- 

 ever, is still the very best yellowish Rose for groups 

 or beds. AU the hardier Teas are also well suited for 

 growing as dwarfs. Bourbon Roses are admirably 

 adapted for dwarfs ; but nearly all being destitute of 

 perfume, with the exception of one of the best of all 

 autumnal-blooming Roses, Souvenir de la Malmaison, 

 they are but little grown. Baron Gonella and 

 Acidaiie are, however, well worth growing. Neither 

 must the old blush China, the crimson and the 

 various improved varieties of the same, as Cramoise 

 Superieure, be neglected. Clara Sylvain is still the 

 best white, though more tender than the others. 

 Such showy Roses as Coupe d'Hebe, Charles Lawson, 

 Paul Ricaut, Gloire de Eosamene, Aim6e Vibert, 

 Madame Plantier, the common and Perpetual Moss, 

 Cabbage, York and Lancaster, as well as the Scotch, 

 Austrian Briar, and Alba Roses, make capital dwarfs. 

 Singularly enough, some of these sorts, notably thfe 

 Moss Rose, are so wedded to the dwarf forms that 

 they seldom thrive either as Standards, pillars, or 

 pyramids. Such distinct species as the Musk, 

 Polyantha, or Multiflora Roses, the best of which
