ROSES AND ROSE GARDENS. 



to act a plant of this kind is to prune back hard the first year and train two shoots 

 horizontally. Take growths the next year from these perpendicularly, and these will flower 

 freely the following season. Then, after blooming, cut them down to the main stems. They will 

 make somewhat long growths the same year to supply next season's burden of blossom. 



W. A. Richardson, another favourite Rose, and others of its nature., may he grown 

 in pots, and the long growths tied down to wires running along the bench. These shoots 

 bear flowers from every eye, and after blooming cut them down and grow on the plants 

 in heat to produce new growths — like a pot vine — for next year's flowering. Some of the 

 dwarf Teas make beautiful halt climbers. Plants fully i oft. high, of Niphetos and Sunset, 

 may be seen at Hatfield House well covered with flowers. They are in a conservatory 

 where Camellias flourish in the borders. 



Hybrid Tea Roses. 



THIS is a very charming race, as a rule, of stiffer and sturdier growth than the true 

 Teas, but quite as free in every way. Not a few, however, approach very closely the 

 Hybrid Perpetuals, indeed it is difficult to trace any difference betw een the two groups. They 

 force readilv, and will stand cooler treatment than the pure Teas.

The first Hybrid Tea, and one of the most beautiful, is La France, which appeared 

 in 1867; it is interesting to know that the well-known Captain Christy and Cheshunt 

 Hybrid were introduced in 1873, and five years later Mr. Henry Bennett commenced to send 

 out his famous hybrids. This raiser gave to the world such exquisite Roses as Grace 

 Darling and Viscountess Folkestone. 



The Noisettes, which so closely resemble the true Teas, originated from a cross between 

 the Musk and the Chine Rose, and were obtained by M. Noisette in America in 1820. The 

 flowers are produced in hunches, but the dividing line between the two groups is so thin 

 that the two races might be merged into one another with advantage.
