In making a selection of varieties suitable for culture 

 in a suburban or town garden, there is considerable 

 difficulty without knowing the actual circumstances of 

 the situation. It may vary from that of a small 

 country town, or distant and pure suburb of London, 

 in which case if other matters be favourable the best 

 Roses may be grown, to that of a real town garden in a 

 thoroughly smoky atmosphere, where none can be 

 cultivated to perfection. I have consulted some good 

 suburban growers, but their lists do not at all agree, 

 the probability being that where good Roses can be 

 cultivated at all, most of the best sorts will answer. 

 It seems, however, to be generally admitted that the 

 Austrian briars are as impatient of impure air as any 

 Roses.
