foliage of all of them is as sweetly scented 

 as the Common Sweet Briar. They form 

 a distinct break from any class of Eose yet 

 in commerce. They are excellent plants 

 for making hedges, and by pegging the 

 shoots down as described above at p. 384 

 these Sweet Briars form one of the most 

 effective sights in the garden, especially 

 when they have become well established. 

 Not only are their flowers lovely in every 

 way, but the sweet fragrance of the plants 

 is a character of the highest importance. 



For general culture and propagation 

 see p. 382. 



Amy Bohsa/rt, a lovely deep rose, an 

 abundant bloomer, robust and free. 



Anne of Oeieratevn, dark crimson, 

 followed by an abundance of pretty clus- 

 tered bunches of hips. It is a strong 

 grower and would make an excellent 

 hedge. 



Brenda, soft blush or peach, hand- 

 some in colour and shade. 



Catherine Seton, a very pleasing tint 

 of soft rosy pink, the bright golden anthers 

 being very prominent, very free-flower- 

 ing, perpetual, and a good Autumnal Eose. 



Edith Bellenden, pale rose, flowering 

 profusely in clusters at the ends of the 

 shoots, which are long and pendulous. 



Flora Mclvor, pure white, blushed 

 with rose, perfect for cutting. 



Green Mcmtle, bright rich pink, with 

 a band of white encircling the anthers, 

 which, with their background of white, 

 have a very pretty effect. This variety, 

 too, is very free-flowering, and a good 

 Autumnal Eose. 



JeoMnie Deans, semi-double, very 

 large, scarlet-crimson, flowering freely in 

 clusters, foliage of a deep, healthy -looking 

 green, and very strong growing. 



JuUa Mamnering, soft pearly or porce- 

 lain pink, the prettiest of all the pink 

 varieties, very free-flowering, thoroughly 

 perpetual, with flower and foliage deli- 

 ciously scented. 



LaAy Penzance, copper-tinted yellow. 

 This is a grand Sweet Briar and probably 

 the finest for giving beautiful effects. 



Lord PenzoMce, fawn colour. 



Lucy Ashton, white, pink edges. 



Lucy Bertram, a fine deep crimson, 

 the richest colour of all; the centre is 

 pure white, which shows off the bright 

 yellow anthers to good advantage ; 

 branching habit, free-flowering, a good 

 Autumnal Rose. 



Meg Merrilies, crimson. 



Mina, large pure white, opening with 

 a tint of palest blush, bushy habit, foliage 

 like a Scotch Briar. 



Rose Bradwardine, clear rose. 



HYBRIDS of CHINESE, BOUR- 

 BON, and NOISETTE ROSES (E. 



Gallica). — The Eoses in this section are 

 Hybrids between the GaUica, Centifolia, 

 &o., and the Chinese, Noisette, and Bour- 

 bon. Most of them grow to perfection as 

 Wall or Pillar Eoses. In pruning they 

 should be well thinned out, and the shoots 

 left for flowering shortened but little. 

 The moderate growers, like Comtesse 

 Lacepede and Souvenir de Pierre Lupuy, 

 require closer pruning. These Hybrids 

 are still valuable, frequently concentrating 

 in the same flower perfection in the 

 desired points — form, fulness, and size ; 

 and further, many of them are brilliant 

 in colour. For general culture and pro- 

 pagation see p. 382.
