Pink Flowers 253 
Rose. Mrs. R. G. Sharman-Crawford. A hybrid Perpetual almost 
always in bloom and one of the best roses grown; bears deep shell-pink 
flowers the outer petals shading into flesh color; of vigorous growth. 
Rose. Rugosa (Rosa rugosa, var. Conrad F. Meyer). Very large 
fragrant double flowers of clear silvery pink, the buds resemble La 
France. A choice variety. ‘The Rugosas spread badly at the root and 
must be kept under control. 
Rose. Sweetbrier, Eglantine (Rosa rubiginosa). A rose inclined to 
climb. I have had them run 8-9 ft. in a season, but they are often 
winter-killed unless in sheltered positions. -To promote bloom keep 
pruned back to 4-5 ft. Foliage very fragrant, the small clear pink 
flowers numerous, single, with petals curving inward at the margin, 
handsome seed-vessels in autumn. Easily propagated by seed which 
self-sows; also spreads slightly at the root. 
RoskE (R. Wichuriana, var. Universal Favorite). A vigorous trailing 
rose suitable for covering banks, stone walls and trellises. Bright green 
glossy foliage and small double fragrant light pink flowers. Hardy and 
very good, but not so beautiful as Dorothy Perkins. For Rose culture, 
see Rose, White Per., June. 
Tamarisk. African (Tamarix Ajricana or T. tetranda). Earliest 
hardy species with bright pink flowers borne in great profusion along 
the slender branches of the previous season’s wood, in lovely contrast 
with the soft feathery foliage. Prune severely when the flowering season 
is over, as the long stems become bare, and both flowers and leaves 
spring from new wood only. For later variety see Pink Shrubs, August.

PINK PERENNIALS 
ALLEGHENY VINE, MouNTAIN FRINGE (Adlumia cirrhosa). 10 ft. 
A biennial climber of the most delicate beauty. The first year it makes - 
a low spreading growth of tender green leaves that resembles Maiden- 
hair Fern. This dies down and the second year the plant begins to run 
asa vine, with smaller leaves and it bears numerous axillary racemes of 
small flesh-colored flowers. Very desirable and hardy. When once 
established it is self-sowing, and then becomes practically a perennial. 
Give a rich moist soil in a sheltered spot, with the roots shaded from 
the sun, and it will festoon an arbor in a few weeks.
