MORE VARIED USE OF ROSES IN GARDENS.

2^ feet, as do 'Caroline Testout' and 'Viscountess Folkestone.' 'Captain 
■Christy' is somewhat shorter. Three sorts with much H.P. blood in their 
veins : ' Camoens,' the pink, ' Marchioness of Salisbury,' bright crimson, 
and 'Gruss au Teplitz,' rich crimson, are dwarfer and freer than any other 
red Roses, ' Camoens ' flowering all through November. 
Of the Teas proper the degrees of hardiness are perhaps the most 
essential point. The * Hon. E. Giffard ' as a white, ' Francisca Kruger ' 
-as a yellow, * Dr. Grill,' the pink, are amongst the hardiest. They make 
free and good beds. ' Mad. Perney,' ' Marie Van Houtte,' ' Mad. Falcot,' 
•"Mad. Chedanne Guinosseau' are good yellows. ' Mad. Lambard,' ' Ma 
man Cochet,' ' General Shabalkine,' and ' Georges Nabonnand,' in pinks 
are the best. 
Of Noisettes 'Alister Stella Gray,' ' W. A. Richardson,' and 'Mad. 
Pierre Cochet ' make grand beds, but they want the shoots left longer 
for pegging down; hence also protection of these left-long shoots through- 
out the winter. 
The dwarfer Teas earth up till March, then prune in closely ; with 
•8 to 5 eyes ; Roses for bedding must be planted thickly 1 to 1 J foot 
apart. 
One of the best examples of dwarf bedding Roses planted in masses is 
to be seen in Miss Rothschild's^garden at Eythrop, Aylesbury, and at Mr. 
Leopold Rothschild's garden at Ascot, Leighton Buzzard ; but at Mr. 
Robinson's, Miss Wilmot's, and other gardens Rose beds are to the front. 
Roses fok Pergolas, Arches, &c. 
With my friend Miss Jekyll's help I have made pergolas which 
leading to Rose gardens were clothed with Roses. The kinds used must 
be vigorous — throwing out light long graceful shoots — and free flowering. 
Some of the Noisettes, ' W. Allen Richardson,' ' L'Ideal,' ' Reve d'Or,' 
' Climbing Aimee Vibert,' and ' Celine Forstier,' with some Hybrid Teas, 
such as ' Reine Marie Henriette,' ' Cheshunt Hybrid,' and 'Bardou Job,' 
are good examples of this. But the type for these pergolas and arches 
are the Ayrshire and Evergreen Roses such as ' Felicite,' ' The Garland,' 
'Flora,' 'Alice Gray,' 'Ruga', and the 'Boursaults.' The new ' Sinica 
Anemone' will be charming for these purposes, being evergreen more free 
and seemingly hardier than the type. The best arch Roses are certainly 
^Felicite' and 'Alice Gray'; perhaps for a very high arch, 'Brunoniana.' 
Hedge Roses. 
The Rose garden, if a formal one, is usually, for shelter, enclosed or 
•encircled by hedges — if not entirely, certainly on the northern and eastern 
sides. Such sheltering hedges should be of Roses. Many good effects 
may also be obtained by running out at right angles short hedges, so as 
to form bays in which beds of the choicer and more tender Teas may well 
be planted. 
Of course for such Rose-shelter-hedges only the very hardiest sorts 
must be used, and as they would probably bo 6 to 8 feet high, strong 
growers are necessary. 
I take the best six for high hedges to be single ' Carmine Pillar,'
