158 THE GRBBNING PICTORIAL SYSTEM OP LANDSCAPE GARDENING 



Yellow Rambler (Aglaia) — A yellow hardy 

 climber. It is a blood relation to the Crimso i 

 Rambler, which it much resembles in growth 

 and foliage. It also blooms after the same 

 manner as the Crimson Rambler, in large 

 trusses. The plant is a very vigorous grower, 

 making shoots 8 to 10 feet high in one season 

 after becoming well established. 



White Rambler (Thalia) — Resembles Crimson 

 Rambler in foliage and habit of growth; flow- 

 ers pure white in large clusters. 



HYBRID TEA ROSES 



A beautiful class of half hardy roses, combining 

 the free flowering qualities of the Tea class with 

 the rich coloring and to some extent the hardi- 

 ness of the Hybrid Perpetual. Though not as 

 hardy as the Hybrid Perpetuals, they are much 

 hardier than the Teas, and will stand out during 

 winter wherever the Bourbon will and where the 

 Teas would be killed to the ground. They should 

 be slightly protected with leaves during the win- 

 ter. 



La France — Delicate silvery rose, changing to a 

 silvery pink; very large, full; of fine globular 

 form; a most constant bloomer. The sweetest 

 and most useful of all roses; none can surpass 

 the delicacy of its coloring. Free grower. 



GLOIRE DE DIJON 



Gloire de Dijon — A combination of salmon, 

 orange and bufif; flowers large and of good, 

 globular form. Half hardy. Pinching off the 

 ends of the vigorous shoots of this rose, as 

 they grow, will compel the buds along the 

 shoots to grow out, and each bud will then pro- 

 duce a large, fine flower. This is a grand pillar 

 rose on account of its rapid growing habit. It 

 should be layered in winter the same as all Hy- 

 brid Teas and covered witli leaves. 



Hermosa — Light rose; large, full and double; 

 blooms profusely in clusters. One of the best. 



Madame Schwaller — A variety of great freedom 

 in bloom. Color rosy flesh, paler at the base 

 of the petal, and deeper on the edges. Globu- 

 lar when opening, becoming cupped when ex- 

 panded. Of bushy growth, and very free flow- 

 ering. A valuable variety for pot culture; very 

 fragrant. 



Meteor — A rich, dark, velvety crimson, free- 

 blooming rose, as fine in color as the best of 

 the Hybrid Perpetuals; the flowers are of good 

 size, very double, and perfect in shape, either 

 as buds or when fully opened; .the plant is 

 vigorous and remarkably free flowering. A splen- 

 did sort for pot culture, and the best of all the 

 Hybrid Teas as a bedding variety for summer 

 cut flowers, as it retains its color well even in 

 the hottest weather, with no shade of purple to 

 mar its beauty. 



Pierre Guillot — Bright, dazzling crimson passing 

 to brilliant carmine; flowers large, very double 

 and full, and highly scented; a healthy and vig- 

 orous grower, and a constant bloomer from 

 June till frost. The outer petals are broad, 

 round and decidedly recurved, showing the 

 short, closely set inner petals. 



MOSS ROSES 



This division of roses embraces many of the 

 most desirable qualities. The fine mossy buds, 

 large fragrant flowers and perfect hardiness, 

 make it a universal favorite. The soil for this 

 class of roses is benefited by an application of 

 well-rotted manure and a moderate pruning. 



Comtesse de Murinais — Pure white; large; very 

 desirable; the finest white moss. 



Crested — Deep pink buds, surrounded with mossy 

 fringe. Very beautiful, and free from mildew. 



Luxembourg — Deep crimson; fine grower. 



Princesse Adelaide — A vigorous grower; pale 

 rose, of medium size and good form; good in 

 bud and flower. 



PERPETUAL MOSS ROSES 



This class embraces those varieties of Moss 

 Roses that bloom several times during one sea- 

 son. 



Blanche Robert — Flowers pure white, large and 

 full; buds very beautiful; a rampant grower, 

 being almost as vigorous as a climber. 



Daniel de Paul — Very dark, blackish carmine; 

 full, with good form; one of the best bloomers 

 of this class. 



Madame Edouard Ory — A moderate grower of 

 medium to large size; full. 



Salet — A vigorous grower and free bloomer. 

 Light rose, large, full. The best of the class. 



Perpetual White — Pure white; produces very 

 few flowers. 



POLYANTHA ROSES 



These are sometimes called "Fairy" Roses be- 

 cause of their small flowers, which are yet full 

 and regularly formed, with colors as fine as the 

 larger Teas. Usually they are borne in great 

 clusters, which, together with their neat, hardy, 

 everblooming habit, make them valuable for bed- 

 ding 



Clothilde Soupert — A grand free-flowering rose; 

 fine for bedding out or pot culture. The flow- 

 ers are very double and handsomely formed, 

 with outer petals pearl-white, shading to a 

 center of rosy pink. 



Mignonette — Clear pink flowers, changing to 

 white; very double. Young shoots frequently 

 carry from 40 to 60 flowers. 



Mosella (Yellow Soupert) — A valuable new Poly- 

 antha. Dwarf and bushy, a mass of bloom the 

 whole year. Color light yellow, shading to 

 white at edge of petals. Quite hardy; will 

 stand the severest winters with but slight pro- 

 tection. 



Pink Soupert — An excellent pinTc rose, surpass- 

 ing even Clothilde Soupert in freedom of 

 bloom. Strong, healthy grower, and a fine, 

 hardy bedding rose. Dainty and effective. 



HYBRID NOISETTE ROSES 



This is a group of considerable importance. 

 They generally flower in small clusters, and 

 bloom freely throughout the year. The flowers 

 are mostly white, and though small are generally 

 of good form. They require a little more care in 

 their protection than the Hybrid Perpetuals. 



Coquette des Alpes, vig. or free. (Lacharme, 1867.) 

 White, slightly shaded with carmine; medium 

 size; form semi-cupped; wood long-jointed; 

 larger flowers than the others. The strongest 

 grower of the entire class.
