You cannot resist being enthusiastic over this splendid class 
of Roses for they surpass all others in the quantity of bloom they 
produce. Being perfectly hardy, low in growth and continuous 
bloomers, they are taking the place of geraniums, for once planted 
they are there to stay and increase in beauty yearly. 
In this class are different varieties of Polyanthas, such as the . 
Baby Ramblers, the small-flowered or standard Polyanthas, and 
the large-flowering kinds, such as Clotilde Soupert and Gruss an 
Aachen. All are suitable for bordering paths where a continuous 
show of bloom is desired, but for edging flower-beds the bright- 
blooming, dwarf-growing Baby Rambler types are the most 
desirable. When planting in quantity you will find it best to use 
all one color, either Red, White, Pink or Yellow. A planting of 
mixed colors is usually less effective. Keep the dead flowers cut 
off and encourage fresh bloom. Quite hardy and bloom unceasingly.
