176 SCHOOL AND HOME GARDENS 
The Paul Neyron is a large red rose. It is the largest 
and most showy rose in cultivation. If given good care, 
it will make straight shoots four or five feet in length 
in one season, each tipped with a handsome flower that 
is often four inches in diameter. The blossoms are double 
and full, finely scented, and are produced all summer. 
The Crimson Rambler. The Crimson Rambler is the 
best rose for covering walls, pillars, trellises, and porches. 
In July and August a thrifty plant that has been well 
cared for will have an almost solid wall of crimson 
flowers. 
Wild roses. Wild roses are sometimes useful for plant- 
ing in a sunny corner. They bloom early, the foliage 
makes a beautiful bank of green, and the bright twigs 
and buds give the spot an artistic appearance during the 
winter. Native varieties may be found in fields near 
fences or in places where timber has been recently cut. 
They will thrive best if they are planted in their favorite 
timber soil, which is a black loam. Varieties may be 
purchased from dealers under the names Rosa blanda. 
Carolina, lucida, and nitida. 
Remove all old wood each spring, but do not cut the 
plants back decidedly. They are accustomed to doing 
their own pruning. If the bushes become too thick, they 
must be taken up and reset.
