 an old wall in China. 



In pleasure-grounds it is scarcely possible 

 to plant too many rose-trees, and they have 

 the best effect when three or four plants of 

 the same kind stand together. The Scotch 

 or burnet-leaved rose, from its dwarf growth, 

 forms a good foreground to other roses ; and 

 the neat little Rose de Meaux should advance 

 towards the walks, whilst the more towering 

 kinds may mix with shrubs of the middle 

 class. 



Where the lawn is interspersed with little 

 clumps, fenced with basket-work, each clump 

 or basket should be confined to one species of 

 rose, or kinds that are quite opposite in colour; 

 and as it is particularly desirable to keep these 

 clumps successively in blossom during the 

 season, those clumps which blossom the 

 earliest and the latest should be divided by 

 others that flower in the intermediate space. 



Rosaries are formed in various devices ; but 

 the most common method is by planting the 

 tallest standard rose-trees in the centre of a 

 clump, around which the different species 

 and varieties are placed according to their 

 height of growth, the edge finishing by the 

 dwarf kinds.
