This charming' class is easily distinguished from others by the peculiar and delightful fra¬ 
grance of the flowers and beautiful foliage. All the different shades of yellow wanting in Hybrid 
Perpetuals will be found in this class. All are suitable for pot culture or planting in conservatories ; 
again, on walls they are invaluable. When planted outdoors, if possible a warm sheltered situation 
should be chosen. If the soil is heavy or wet, it should be drained, and some lighter soil or 
decayed leaf mould mixed with it; raised beds are also recommended. 
In severe weather protect the heads with common fern or brakes (see 
“ Protecting,’’ page 5). 
Prune early in April. —The varieties in this class, if grown for show purposes or for fine 
specimen blooms, should be cut back hard to good sound wood as advised for the Hybrid Perpetuals 
(see page 9), but if required for garden decoration and for cutting in quantities, take out any weak 
and bad wood, shorten the remaining shoots a little, but always take care to cut below any parts that 
may have been injured by frost. 
Varieties requiring special treatment will be noticed in their descriptions. 
Standards and Half Standards, with care and attention in the way of protection in severe 
weather, will pass through a winter quite as well as the Dwarfs. Of Standard and Dwarf Teas a great 
number is grown, all on Briar Stocks specially selected. The finest show flowers in this section 
are undoubtedly grown on Standard and Half Standard Briars.
