Rose Hints 
Mrs. Aaron Ward 
There are a few details about rose growing not covered by Mrs. 
Harold Pratt's most interesting article which I think useful to study 
before planning rose beds. One, of course, is the distribution of color, 
another the character of growth. There are certain roses like Mme. 
Eerriot and Mrs. Bullen which kill pinks and should have white or 
cream or Hght yellow or possibly dark red next to them. Both of 
these roses also represent a characteristic which obtains in all Perne- 
tianas — sparse foliage much affected by black spot — and for this 
reason require next to them a rose having good foliage to hide their 
deficiencies, such, for instance, as my favorite Amateur Teyssier, 
cream and yellow, the old Souvenir de la Malmaison, cream, the very 
dark red Friedrichsruh, all low growing, or the old Marie Van Houtte, 
or Duchess of Wellington or Ophelia, all bushy and free-growing with 
fine foHage. Marie is chiefly yellow with carmine edges, the yellow 
predominating. 
Other roses are very tall, comparatively, like Radiance (good 
foliage), Gustav Grunerwald (ditto), La Tosca and of course Gruss an 
Teplitz which is more like a shrub in its growth.
