Prince Camile de Rohan is the 
best of the very dark roses, among 
which also are Sultan of Zanzibar, 
Louis Van Houtte and Xavier 
Olibo. These, however, are weak 
growers and frequently do not 
bring their blossoms to perfection. 
Teas 
I have found myself displacing 
practically all of the Teas with 
Hybrid Teas, since the perfection ul ™ h Yn'L^n, 
of the latter class. 1 he loss of 
these Tea roses every winter, un¬ 
less they were protected carefully under glass, is most discourag¬ 
ing. Among the hardiest and best are Etoile de Lyon, Francisca 
Krueger, Hon. Edith Gifford, Isabella Sprunt, Maman Cochet, 
Marie Van Houtte, Safrano, Souvenir d’un Ami, White Maman 
Cochet, Dutchess Brabant, William R. Smith and Harry 
Kirk, a very fine yellow.

Fall-planted roses do best in the vicinity of Philadelphia, for 
here they become established before cold weather sets in and are. 
therefore, ready to grow at the first touch of spring. Do not on 
this account infer that spring-planted roses will not succeed, for 
they will; but the bushes must be put in early — at the very first 
opportunity, so that they will have time to become firmly estab¬ 
lished before hot weather. Pot-grown plants from a greenhouse 
cannot, of course, be set out until all danger from frost is past. 
Roses that are planted so late cannot be expected to show really 
satisfying results in bloom the first year. Roses that are planted 
early in the spring, if field-grown stock, will with proper cultiva¬ 
tion give at least a reasonable amount of bloom the first year, 
though not so much as in later years. 
One hears a great deal of argument on the question of whether 
roses are best when grown on their own roots or when grown on 
a sturdier stock, such as Manetti for Hybrid Perpetuals and brier 
for Hvbrid Teas, which are probably the best rose stocks for this

If you want quantity rather than quality of bloom, leave all the 
buds as at the left. If you prefer one fine rose instead, disbud
