42 HOW TO GROW ROSES 



Trellis. — Grows well on a trellis. 



Bush. — Makes a good bush when planted alone and 

 allowed to develop. 



Pot, or Cut-Flowers. — Those that have particularly- 

 long stems and other qualities that make them peculiarly 

 fitted for cutting. Good also under glass. 



Boutonniere. — Well formed buds and not so large but 

 that it is appropriate for a buttonhole or corsage bouquet. 



Edging. — Makes an excellent edging to a rose-bed or 

 other border. 



Hedge. — Adapted for making a hedge, either all one kind 

 or with others. 



Tree or Standard. — Kinds that do well in tree form, as 

 illustrated on page — . 



Note also at the close of this chapter a section devoted to 

 the best roses for each particular purpose in your garden. 

 We feel that entire dependence may be placed upon these 

 recommendations beginning page 64, based upon the infor- 

 mation gained after many years' correspondence with patrons 

 in all parts of the United States. 



In a broader way the reader will surely find great interest 

 in cultivating a more intimate acquaintance with this great 

 rose family. Opportunity for further study of this subject 

 is offered in the Analysis of Species and outline of different 

 classes beginning on pages 108 and no. 



Following these sets for special purposes, and beginning 

 on page 77, will be found recommendations of the varieties 

 that eminent amateurs, or professionals, have found best 

 adapted to each of eight different typical sections of our 

 country. 



But comparatively few people can actually plant more 

 than a small proportion of any such extended list, and there- 

 fore we list on the pages immediately following a shorter 

 list of the leading varieties from any of which it will be 

 entirely safe to select. The reader may still have some 

 failures, but they will serve as stepping stones of knowledge 

 surely learned on which to build greater success.
