Roses in Summer. 61 



or any other rose requiring the same temperature as 

 these, is valueless in a high temperature. On the con- 

 trary, there are many varieties that need just such a 

 temperature to bring out their greatest beauty. For a 

 yellow, Etoile de Lyon is a fine summer rose, and still 

 I doubt whether it will suit the buyer in all respects 

 as well as Perle. In pink, both La France and Duchess 

 of Albany are grand, and if we desire the more delicate 

 shades. Mad. Pierre Guillott and Grace Darling will 

 supply the want. For white, Marie Guillott is the best, 

 unless it be Niphetos, but the latter, if on its own roots, is 

 not strong enough for this purpose. If you will plant a 

 house to a few Chromotella, say one every twenty feet, 

 train them to cover an entire bench, budding the 

 branches with Niphetos from time to time as they fill 

 the space, you will in a few years have a wonderfully 

 productive house of the very best of white roses. 



Red can be supplied by the use of Meteor, which rev- 

 els in a high temperature. There are still others, and 

 they are favorites with all rose lovers, but this list gives 

 a good range of color and others can be added according 

 to the taste of the grower. 



A system like this enables one to commence planting 

 for winter bloom in season to have his plants at their 

 best during the time when flowers are wanted most, and 

 give the greatest returns.
