Much is said and written about the “ten best” Roses, and while 
this is possible perhaps in certain sections, there is no such thing 
as choosing the “best” Roses, for one variety may prove success¬ 
ful with one grower and fail with another. Care must be used 
in selecting good blooming sorts and sorts which will do well 
out of doors. There are literally hundreds of good varieties, 
none of which will succeed without proper care and cultivation, 
yet practically all will repay effort expended upon them. The 
list may be cut to a few, however, which will give variation in 
color and varieties that will give abundance of bloom. 
For cut flowers the Bush Roses cannot be surpassed, and the 
well-cared-for Rose garden is not only a thing of beauty on the 
home grounds, but will give magnificent blooms for cutting for 
the house decoration. There are many choice Bush Roses which 
will give a wealth of bloom from early summer until frost. 
Where there is seemingly no room for Bush Roses the Climb¬ 
ing Roses may find a place in the fence corner and in out-of-the- 
way places, reaching out and covering old fences or walls and 
giving a mass of gorgeous bloom. The Climbing Roses should 
be planted freely as vines and fence covers and while they do 
not have the long blooming season of the Hybrid-Tea Roses, 
their multitude of flowers in the spring makes up for the rest 
of the year; also there are some sorts which will give flowers at 
intervals during the year.
