"The success of the Rose in this country is very largely a question 

 of the selection of adaptable varieties."— DR. LIBERTY H. BAILEY 



The preceding pages (10 and 11) will help you to avoid selecting those Roses not 

 well suited to your climate, and to a choice of the right ones for your locality. That 

 is very important. Having received your Roses, do you yet realize in how many 

 different ways they may be used, what clever, original, and decorative arrangements 



may be employed to make your home beautiful? 



Let us note the climbing Roses, for example. It is 

 difficult to imagine a home with a square yard of sun- 

 touched ground that does not need at least one climbing 

 Rose — indeed, one that covers the entire side of a house 

 may need only two cubic feet of soil to grow in. 

 (Please note the rose-embowered house on page 67.) 

 The ingenuity of our readers will conceive a greater 

 variety of uses than the few examples pictured on this 

 page. A more complete treatment of the subject will 

 be found in our book, "How to Grow Roses." See 

 page 13. 



A. ror 1 relllS. For covering a trellis, select from 

 the climbers, pages 60 to 69, inclusive, and espe- 

 cially those on pages 62 to 64. A trellis may be made 

 of wood, wire, or other materials, and may be used 

 about the house, p)orch, or garden, or for a screen. 



B. For an Archway. Use the same varieties as 

 for above. The archway is most effective over a 

 pathway or entrance. 



^« 1 ergola. a pergola, like an open tunnel, made 

 up of a series of connected arches, should be covered 

 with the same varieties recommended for arches, and 

 is a great addition to any garden. 



D. Fences. First of all, plan for a substantial sup- 

 F>ort, and choose, according to taste, from the long- 

 branched climbers on pages 60 to 69. If your 

 fences are already in place, why not cover them 

 with Roses, for this can be done for a slight addi- 

 tional expense? From a single bush, like Dr. W. 

 Van Fleet, you can get hundreds of perfect, large, 

 long-stemmed blooms every year, that city folks 

 are glad to get for $2 per dozen. 

 These large-flowered hardy climbers 

 make canes 10 to 15 feet long in a 

 season, and bloom the second 

 season after planting. 



E. Banks or Stumps. Any ugly 



or unsightly objects, from stumps 

 to buildings, may be transformed 

 into bowers of 

 beauty. Elxpense is 

 trifling, compared 

 with the satisfaction. 

 The hardy climbers 

 are best. We recom- 

 mend kinds like 

 Am. Pillar, Dr. W. 

 Van Fleet, CI. 

 Am. Beauty, Sil- 

 D. On Fence or Lattice for Screen or Windbreak ver Moon, etc.
