GARDEN ROSES.

though not a true dimber. It will make a good hedge, a large bush, 
or may be planted in a bed and cut down annually. It has lovely 
foliage, and is both free and continuous in flowering. 
Between white and yellow are two excellent Wichuraianas with 
fair-sized flowers, often quite well-shaped, * Alberic Barbier ' and 
* Gardenia,' the latter rather deeper in colour. 
Paul's * Lemon Pillar ' only flowers once, but nearly every flower 
is beautifully formed. The flowers are large and of good substance, 
while the plant will make an 8-ft. pillar or large bush, and would, no 
doubt, do well on a wall. 
* Goldfinch ' is a free-growing Rambler with pretty 3^ellow buds 
opening to whitish flowers. Of real yellows I need only name two. 
Both have good glossy foliage, and look well even when not in flower. 
'Shower of Gold' has small flowers, while ' Emily Gray,' raised by 
Dr. WiUiams, has rather large semi-double flowers, often very prettily 
shaped. It is one of the greatest acquisitions to this group we have 
had recently. 
Coming to the dwarf Polyanthas, which are so useful for formal 
beds, the most effective in producing colour-effect throughout the 
season seem to be : 
Crimson or nearly so — ' Jessie.' 
Shades of pink — ' Mrs. W. H. Cutbush,' ' Ellen Poulsen,' ' Orleans 
Rose,' and ' Mam an Turbat.' 
White — * Katherine Zeimatt ' and ' Little Meg,' the latter having 
rather larger flowers than the first, often of quite a pretty 
shade. 
Shades of yellow and pink — ' Tiptop ' and ' Coronet,' both pretty 
little Roses. 
Of yellows we have none at present in this group, the nearest 
being * Canarienvogel ' and ' Georges Elger.' 
The Chinas rely entirely on their colour, having little claim to 
form, the best in this respect being ' Queen Mab.' 
Good crimsons are : ' Chateau de Clos Vougeot,' ' Princess de 
Sagen,' * Fabvier,' ' Cramoisie superieur,' and * Charlotte 
Klemm.' 
Pinks — * Old pink China,' ' Mme. Eugene Resal,' * Mile, de La 
Vallette,' and ' Laiurette Messimy.' 
Whites — * Ducher ' and ' Rival de Paestum.' 
Yellow shades — ' Titania,' ' Arethusa/ and ' Comtesse de Cayla.' 
It is a great mistake to prune them severely in spring ; they look 
much better as big bushes, pruned in summer to a hmited extent.
