bruised must be taken off, and it is better 
to leave only five or six shoots cut back 
to four or five inches from the ground. 
It is better to plant them as early in De¬ 
cember as possible, but they may be safely 
and satisfactorily put out from this time 
until the middle of May. The earlier the 
planting the more promising the blossom 
for the next season. 
As far as variety is concerned, choice is 
practically limited only by the lists issued 
by the nurserymen. It is wiser, always, 
to buy Southern grown stock, and better 
to secure those grown in the open ground, 
but, after these precautions are taken, full 
liberty of choice may be indulged in. The 
varieties recommended here are those 
which have stood the test of time; and if 
planted in either the small home garden or 
in large grounds where much space may 
be devoted to the rose gardens, results will 
be equally satisfactory. 
For the porch pillars, the pergola, the 
summer house, the hedge, and the wire 
netting that encloses the tennis courts or 
the playgrounds, there are the multitude of 
climbers and trailers. For evergreen ef¬ 
fects, the white and pink Cherokees, both 
double and single, and the Wichurianas, 
can be depended upon for quick growth, 
but are apt to become riotous in their luxu¬ 
riance and to form too much of a screen, 
unless very careful attention is given them. 
Slower of growth, and not evergreen, 
are the ramblers, the pink Dorothy Per¬ 
kins, the white Dorothy Perkins, Tau- 
sendschon, and Flower of Fairfield, al¬ 
most a perpetual blossoming Crimson 
Rambler and without the defects incident 
to the parent. All of these are desirable 
and excellent climbers. 
Of the old favorites we have the 
Lamarque, Devoniensis, Malmaison, Marie 
Flenriette, the Marechal Niel and Reve 
d'Or, which carry us through an unrivaled 
scale of color magnificence. Many old 
southern gardens show these roses half a 
century old, kissing the topmost leaves of 
the tallest trees or screening the porches 
up to the third and fourth stories. Their 
prodigal wealth of blossom must be seen 
to be appreciated. 
The Frau Karl Druschki, Kaiserin 
Augusta Victoria, and the Bride are the 
handsomest of the white bush roses. Of 
the pink, none are better than the Mal¬ 
maison, the Duchesses de Brabant, the 
Bridesmaid, the pink Devoniensis, and of 
the newer ones, the Killarney. 
fitoile de Lyon, Francesca Kruger, and 
Blumenschmidt give us the yellow and 
saffron tones of our color scale, while 
Grass an Teplitz, Prince Camille de 
Rohan, and the ever popular American 
Beauty give us the deeper tones of red. 
For the fragrance of the attar of roses 
—and what is a rose garden without its 
sweetness ? — no garden should be without 
the La France, the Gen. Jacqueminot, 
and the Paul Neyron. The newer Japan¬ 
ese roses, Conrad Meyer, Mine. Charles 
Worth, Mine. George Bruant, and Chedane 
Guinnoseaux, are also noted for their
