HENDERSON’S PICTURESQUE GARDENS 
A Rose -.Bowered Entrance 
Climbing Roses, trained on lattice or wire trellises against veran- 
das and over doorways, with their long branches garlanded with blossoms 
tossing to and fro, form a pleasing picture. Positions of this kind 
are often the most congenial to robust -growing Roses, as a free 
circulation of air is permitted through the branches, which reduces 
any tendency of the foliage to mildew. Be sure that the soil is rich 
and deep and well drained, and that the plants do not suffer for lack 
of water. Any of the hardy climbing Roses can be utilized for cold 
climates, and the Noisette Roses for the south. 
A Living Rose Basket 
A very pretty effect may be produced on lawns or in 
gardens by growing the monthly everblooming Roses closely 
planted in a basket-like bed similar to that illustrated to 
the right ; the taller bushes should be planted towards the 
center, or if they are about of one size have the ground 
rounded up to the center. The outside hordering should 
be formed of rattan or suitable wire edging to simulate a 
basket ; the handle may he composed of an arch of wire or 
other material clothed with climbing Roses. Taste must 
dictate the variety of colors. We once saw a "Rose Lawn” 
adorned with a number of basket beds similar to this. Each 
basket being 
planted with 
Koses of one 
color, and all bas- 
kets of a differ - 
I'; ent shade, the 
Mi. 
'A effect was superb.
