pendent blooms do not display their beauty and are 

 sadly liable to be splashed by heavy showers. 



For button-hole Roses, as for exhibition kinds, beauty 

 of form should not be neglected, as it sometimes is, for 

 mere colour, though a combination of both is most 

 desirable. A round fat bud is much less elegant than 

 a long, slender and pointed one. In this respect the 

 Teas have a decided advantage, but if a bright red or 

 really dark bud is desired, the H.P.s must be called 

 upon. The following would be useful as 



Six bright or dark H.P.s for button-holes 



Duke of Edinburgh Gloire de Margottin 



Fisher Holmes Prince Camille de Rohan 



General Jacqueminot Victor Hugo 



Twenty-four Teas and Noisettes for button-holes. 



Amazone Madame Chedane Gui- 



Anna Olivier noisseau 



Catherine Mermet Madame de Watteville 



Cleopatra Madame Falcot 



Dr. Grill Madame Hoste 



Francisca Kruger Marechal Niel 



Homere Marie van Houtte 



Innocente Pirola Niphetos 



Isabella Sprunt Rubens 



LTdeal Safrano 



Luciole The Bride 



Ma Capucine William Allen Richardson 



Madame Charles 



All the above are lovely in the bud, for wearing 

 either singly or together. A choicer selection can 

 be made by referring to their characteristics in 

 Chapter XII.
