GARDEN GUIDE 



of very hardy Roses, so that they are hardy, but not in many cases 

 do they bloom a second time. They are the vigorous varieties for 

 general use. It is difficult to say of this class of Roses *'Here is a Ust 

 of the best twelve." Someone will surely remark: "Why, he does not 

 even know the best variety of them all." Nevertheless, we all agree 

 that Frau Karl Druschki is the finest white. The buds are handsome 

 and it seems to bloom for a longer season than most. If you leave out 

 CHo from your planting you would miss a very beautiful flesh pink. 

 Another, and a free bloomer, is INIrs. R. G. Sharman-Crawford. A 

 bright cherry red, a fme and rather new Rose, which is always suc- 

 cessful, is Gloire de Chedane Guinoisseau; perhaps an improvement 

 upon Uhich Rrunner. Prince Camille de Rohan and Hugh Dickson 

 are both deep velvety crunsons. Paul Neyron is the largest deep 

 pink variety, frequently criticized for being too coarse and large. 

 The Jack Rose, or, as it is called in the catalogs, General Jacque- 

 minot, does well everwhere; it is a brilHant scarlet crimson. Another 

 excellent strong grower and a deep scarlet is J. R. Clark. A very sweet 

 and perfectly formed crimson carmine is the variety Captain Hay ward. 

 Mme. Masson is a Hybrid Perpetual which produces blooms at in- 

 tervals during Summer and Fall. It is a sweet-scented crimson. Cap- 

 tain Christy bears a full flower which is tinted white and pale blush. 

 Magna Charta is always admired for its vigor of growth and its bright, 

 rosy pink flowers, which possess great substance. 



Perxetiana. a group of Roses of recent interest has been de- 

 veloped by crossing Harrison's YeUow with other types. The result 

 is a group of yeUowish Roses known as Pernetiana Roses, from their 

 introducer, Pernet. Two deep yeUow varieties of great beauty are 

 Soleil d'Or and Rayon d'Or. 



Moss Rose. The Moss Rose, with its bud encircled by a dehcate 

 mossy covering, holds a strong attraction for all. It is surprising that 

 the interesting variety. Hat of Napoleon, is not more planted. In 

 France it is caUed Chapeau de Napoleon. It is mossier than others. 

 The large, pure white buds of Rlanche Moreau are classical examples 

 of the Moss Rose. The pink Crested Moss and the bright red Henry 

 Martin are also splendid varieties. 



Polyanthas 



The Polyanthas are the Raby Ramblers. How useful they are for 

 low beds or when used as a sort of hedge in an intimate area. The 

 common variety is Raby Rambler, or Mme. N. Levavasseur, but 

 there are many superior sorts, such as Triomphe Orleanais and Erna 

 Teschendorff*, of this color. In pink Clothilde Soupert and Mrs. 

 Cutbush are the best. Catherine Zeimet is the standard white.
