QUERIES AND ANSWERS. 
ISABELLA GREY ROSE-SAYING LATE-BEDDED 
GERANIUMS THROUGH THE WINTER. 
“ Can you tell me anything about a Rose called Isabella Grey ? 
I bought it believing it to be a Tea-scented Rose, capable of pot 
culture. It shows every disposition to take after the longest- 
jointed of the Noisettes, and lias made no attempt to flower. 
“ I hope you will give us an article on keeping old Scarlet 
Geraniums. I have read everything ever written to The Cottage 
Gardener about them, and can do very well with them, if taken 
up early. But those of us who cannot make up our minds to spoil 
our autumn gardens, would be very glad to know if anything can 
be done with them,—when taken up as late as the middle of 
November,—if they have not been touched by the frost. 1 ask on 
behalf of those who, like myself, have not room for them in a 
greenhouse stage, or in pits. Under the stage, in my greenhouse, 
they always die of mildew', when taken up so late, though I keep 
them as dry as I can. 1 have heard of tying them in bundles, 
and hanging them up by their heels against the wall; of burying 
them completely in dry sand ; of shutting them up dry in boxes, 
Ac. No doubt some of your readers have succeeded with these 
plans, if they are practicable; but 1 have never seen any 
successful attempts mentioned in your pages. 
“ In my garden, where I have bedded and proved many of the 
white-leaved Scarlet Geraniums, the newer sorts stand thus, in 
order of merit:— 
“ 1. Alma. Decidedly the best, both as to habit and flower, 
which stands all weathers. 
“2. Countess of Warwick. Good habit; fine scarlet truss. 
“ 3. Annie. Eiue foliage; a shy grower; flowers shed their 
petals in a bright suu. It is a desperate seeder, 
j “ 4. St. Clair. Very fine flower-truss, of bright rose, which 
lasts a long time without the centre becoming shabby. 
“ 5. Culford Beauty. A shy grower ; flower burns in the sun 
like Mountain of Light. 
“ I have also two or three of the red-zoned sorts, as Fon¬ 
tainebleau, Attraction, and Burning Bush. The last is the only 
one I have seen which preserves the red zone well when planted 
out. I have also had Hendersonii, Perfection, Bijou, and Julia, 
j planted out, but not early enough in the season to judge them 
! fairly with the others.”—C. W. 
[The Rose, Isabella Grey, does better in a pot than any other 
way. It is a strong Rose of the kind, but not one-half so Btrong 
ns some of the Roses grown for exhibition. Plairii No. 2 is four 
times stronger, and where is there a finer pot Rose? 
The first great difficulty in keeping old bedding Geraniums 
over the winter is, in getting people who will attend to them. 
They can be kept ten different ways equally well, if they aro 
attended to. Nine persons out of ten keep them on the prin¬ 
ciple of “ out of sight, out of mind.” They put them “ up ” 
for the winter, and then chance them. But that w'ould not do for 
Apples, or Potatoes, or any other rough fruit or vegetable. Those 
who keep such things best, look them over at stated intervals;
