garden. They are Ideal, dark red; Miss Edith Cavell, brilliant scar¬ 
let; Orleans, bright geranium red; Chatillion, vivid pink; Coral 
Cluster, lighter pink; Golden Salmon, glowing orange and the 
new Gloria Mundia, a deeper shade of orange with more double 
flowers. These varieties, which are practically immune to mildew, 
are indescribably beautiful in coloring, and create a stunning effect 
if planted in large masses in beds of one variety. In fact, no rose 
garden, formal or otherwise, can afford to be without them. 
There is another type of Polyanthas which has been grown very 
widely in the Southwest represented by the Cecile Brunner or 
Sweetheart Rose, Eerie d’Or, Tip Top and George Eiger . Their 
flowers, which come both singly and in clusters, are really minia¬ 
ture double Roses, very attractive when cut in the bud for bou¬ 
quets. But the plants for garden decoration are valueless, as the 
blossoms open too rapidly with their petals flared back in an ugly 
way. A variety grown very largely in this section is Mme. Nor - 
bert Levavasseur, which has the bad habit of fading into an ugly 
lavender, and mildewing. 
Another favorite, Gruss an Aachen, which is said to be really a 
Bengal Bourbon and not a Polyantha, has rather large flowers for 
the class, of an exquisite color when conditions are favorable. 
BUSH OR BEDDING ROSES

the word ‘'Rose”. This class may be divided into Hybrid Per¬ 
petual, Tea, Hybrid Tea, Pernetiana, and Single Roses. 
HYBRID PERPETUALS 
Hybrid Perpetuals are the strong, tall-growing, winter-hardy,
