Where to Plant Roses 



Use roses around your yard in many loca- 

 4S& tions if you don't have space for a real rose 

 garden. For example — at your front door, as 

 a friendly fence between your yard and your 

 neighbor's, as a protective hedge along the street, nestled 

 around a bird bath. Climbing and shrub roses have their 

 special uses in landscaping. 



Before choosing the roses you intend to buy, decide what 

 you want them to do for you. Do you want tall plants for 

 a bed, or low ones for a border? Big-big flowers to cut, or 

 are you aiming primarily for a show of color outdoors? Is 

 fragrance a "must"? If you'll read our descriptions with 

 your wants in mind, we believe they will help you to choose. 

 For thumbnail sketches, sec the Rose Fact Sheet on pages 

 28 and 29.

Hybrid Tea. (The House of Meilland.) 

 {//(//(/ ///fl Plant Pal. 2862. To catch this flower at 

 its best, you should see a bloom two-thirds open, with 

 the light shining through it. It's a picture you won't 

 soon forget. The big ruffly blooms are watermelon- 

 pink with warm yellow at the base and on the reverse 

 (perhaps lighter than our picture shows). This vivid 

 contrast lasts for the entire life of the flower. Open 

 blooms are loosely cupped, with 40 to 50 large petals 

 and light tea perfume. 



Medium to tall in growth, with foliage bright and 

 waxy — a beauty feature in itself. Straight stiff stems, 

 very free branching and dependable for repeated crops 

 of gaily colored blooms.
