Best Roses for Little Gardens.—It is a matter of some 
difficulty to say which are the best twelve or twenty-four or thirty- 
six Roses for a small garden, since some varieties do better in one 
garden than in another, owing to differences of soil, aspect, and other 
conditions. However, those named in the following lists are all of 
proved worth and are confidently recommended. The Roses most 
generally grown in bush or dwarf form are of three kinds, Hybrid 
Perpetuals (H.P.), Hybrid Teas (H.T.), and Tea (T.). Hybrid Per- 
petuals comprise the oldest garden Roses, many of them long 
established favourites. Their blossoms are usually of one colour, 
e.g. Ulrich Brunner, A. K. Williams, Général Jacqueminot. Hybrid 
Teas are a newer race not quite so hardy as the Hybrid Per- 
petuals, but comprising some very beautiful and richly coloured 
flowers which are far more freely produced than those of the H.P.’s. 
Moreover, Hybrid Teas bloom again in September, while very few 
of the H.P.’s give an autumn gathering. The magnificent white 
Rose Frau Karl Druschki is a notable exception. The Tea Roses 
are distinguished for fragrance and rich and delicate shades of 
colour, but are not so hardy as the H.P.’s and H.T.’s. Every little 
Rose garden should contain varieties of each class. Several old 
varieties are now superseded by newer ones, so some of these are 
included in the following lists. 
THE BEST ROSES FOR LITTLE GARDENS

Flowers throughout the summer. Perhaps the best Tea Rose for 
the little garden.

crimson blooms which make a handsome display.
