Roses For Bedding 
While roses are to be found in practi¬ 
cally every garden, grown for cut-flowers, 
their importance for lovely bedding effect 
is often overlooked. There is nothing more 
continuously pleasing than a solid planting 
of one variety for color effect. For this 
purpose they should be planted closer to¬ 
gether and pruned back severely each Win¬ 
ter. The Polyantha varieties are all beauti¬ 
ful for bedding and the following list of 
other types are especially suitable.
