Druschki, a white rose, exquisite in form, 
very strong-growing and free-blooming. 
It is a comparatively modern rose, but its 
position in the rose world is absolutely es¬ 
tablished. Next to this is the lovely old 
Jack rose, rich and dark and velvety, and 
deliciously fragrant. There are possibly 
lovelier red roses than this, roses that are 
fuller and larger, but I do not believe that 
anything will ever take the place of the 
General Jacqueminot. Third of the hy¬ 
brid perpetuals is Paul Neyron, a rose of 
the true rose color, deep and clear, with 
huge flowers and many of them. 
Of the hybrid teas "there is the lovely, 
cream Kaiserin Augusta Victoria; the pink 
Killarney, which no one could think of 
omitting; Madam Ravary, which has 
flowers of gorgeous yellow; Madam Caro¬ 
line Testout, a salmon pink, and the Vis¬ 
countess Folkestone, which is a delicate, 
creamy pink. 
Then for the teas choose William R. 
Smith, which is a blush rose; Lady Hill¬ 
ingdon, apricot yellow; Maman Cochet, a 
light pink, and Marie Van Houtte, which 
is neither yellow nor white, but a little of 
both. 
Beds forty-eight inches wide admit of 
two rows placed zigzag 
In addition to these twelve I know of no 
better selection than any one may make 
by selecting from a good rose-grower’s 
catalogue. Roses are as much a matter of 
taste and color preference as neckties and 
gowns, and the descriptions which are given 
of them now by all rirst-class houses are 
such that it is hardly necessary to advise 
concerning them. The Canadian Depart¬ 
ment of Agriculture recommends the fol¬ 
lowing as most hardy of the perpetuals: 
Frau Karl Druschki, Magna Charta, Gen¬ 
eral Jacqueminot, Mrs. John Laing, Ulrich 
Brunner, Baronne de Bonstetten, Mrs. R. 
G. Sharmon-Crawford, -Madame Plantier, 
Madame Joly, John Hopper, Prince Ca¬ 
mille de Rohan, and Pierre Notting. But 
I should not feel it necessary to confine a 
choice to these, however severe the climate 
where the garden was to be made. For, as 
I have already said, every rose in the gar¬ 
den should be given protection for the best 
results. 
With the resolution to plant a rose gar¬ 
den, which should precede the purchase of 
a single bush, the resolution to care for the 
plants with the most unswerving loyalty 
should also be made. Healthy roses are 
not to be had, one may almost certainly
