ROSES IN THE SOUTHWEST

in France where they are still very popular and have a wider range 
in variety than in the United States. Germany, too, is fond of them, 
and great advances are being made both abroad and here at home 
in their hybridization. 
Some of the favorite Hybrid Perpetuals are Paul Neyron, Gen¬ 
eral Jacqueminot, XJlricb Brunner, George Amends, Frau Karl 
Druschi and the fast disappearing American Beauty; while of the 
newer kinds being grown here, there are John Russell, a fine red of 
perfect form, and Mme. Albert Barbier, light salmon-flesh and 
apricot. 
Since the Hybrid Perpetuals, however hardy and beautiful, 
bloom only in the Spring, a very few of their kind should be 
included in a small Rose garden. Hybrid Perpetuals grow tall un¬ 
less they are kept sharply pruned. 
In pruning them, all wood more than two years old should be 
taken out at the base of the plant and the remaining canes short¬ 
ened according to the results you want to achieve. The taller they 
are left, the more flowers, and the shorter they are cut, the finer the 
blooms on longer stems. 
The Hybrid Perpetuals make fine tall Pillars or shrubs, especially 
Frau Karl Druschi, which should be in every garden, as it fur¬ 
nishes all the white Roses anyone could wish.

SINGLE ROSES 
The single Roses are a decorative group which are being given 
an increasing amount of attention by the amateur grower. They 
usually have only five petals and their color is apt to fade rapidly. 
But cut as buds for the house, they possess an artistic grace that 
will charm the most unenthusiastic observer. 
The Single Roses come in a variety of colors. There is the red 
Vesuvius, the pink Dainty Bess, the yellow Cecil and the white 
Innocence . The Irish group, such as Irish Fireflame, Irish 
Elegans, Irish Beauty and Irish Glory, are lovely things. 
But the finest of all this type is Isobel . 
Give it plenty of room and it will re¬ 
ward you with a multitude of long,
