PLAN FOR A CIRCULAR ROSE GARDEN 
In this garden (shown on opposite page) the Roses are so 
arranged that each bed blends into its neighbor and yet 
there is no monotony of effect. The four small beds 
around the central sun-dial each contain 5 Red Radi¬ 
ance Roses, the larger outside beds are fdled as follows: 
1. (Pink) Inner row 4 Paul Neyron (H P): middle row 4 lonkheer J. L. 
Mock (H T); outer row 3 Columbia (H T). 4 Radiance (11 T). 2. (Pink) 
Inner row 4 Mrs. John Laing (H P): middle row 4 Los Angeles (H T); 
outer row 3 Killarney (H T), 4 Ophelia (H T). 3. (White to Yellow) 
Inner row 2 Frau Karl Druschki (H P), 2 Capt. Christy (H P): middle 
row 4 Kaiserin Victoria Augusta (H T): outer row 2 Sunburst (H T), 
2 Mrs. Aaron Ward (H T), 3 Duches's of Wellington (H T). 4. (Red) 
Inner row 4 Prince Camille de Rohan (H P): middle row 4 Etoile de 
France (H T); outer row 3 Gruss an Teplitz (H T), 2 Hoosier Beauty 
(H T), 2 General McArthur (H T) 
dig so as to expose the roots. In the pocket, or hollow created 
around the plant outside the hilling, place a mat of well-rotted 
manure. Over this pile a 6 to 12 inch layer of leaves, so that 
only the tops are exposed. In the spring remove the leaves, 
and turn the earth back over the manure thus providing added 
fertility. 
A ROSE record compiled from a study of four rose gardens, 
covering periods up to eight years, gives the following 
data as to hardiness of variety and abundance of bloom of a 
The varieties are named in the 
selected list of Hybrid-teas,

Gruss an Teplitz led all others in bloom, often having twenty- 
five or more blossoms and never being without some flowers. 
Blossoms were cut from it as late as the end of November; it 
is not very good for cutting, however, as the petals fall soon. 
ROSE TIME ON LONG ISLAND 
A certain basic orderliness of plan seems 
particularly necessary in the planting of 
Roses, at any rate the bush varieties.
