A Few Practical Rose Suggestions 
It is always a pleasure to assist with the selec¬ 
tion and arrangement of varieties whenever a 
Rose-garden is being planned. A good idea is to 
send in a rough design showing the proposed 
dimensions of the beds or the space available, and 
we can then suggest a planting-list to show spac¬ 
ing, etc. All Rose colors harmonize very well 
indeed, so it is only necessary that at least four 
or five of a variety be used where solid beds are 
being planted. In other words, do not plant a 
Winter protection is explained in 
long list of one each of a variety in the same bed. 
For the beginner, however, and one who wants 
to learn about Roses, the different varieties 
offered in our valuable collections will give you 
an idea which will be your favorites and which 
ones do best in your certain locality. 
The spacing of Hybrid Teas should be con¬ 
siderably closer than we generally see them. 
Then the general garden effect will not be that 
of a well-hoed piece of soil, but a luxurious mass 
of plants and foliage from which the exquisite 
Rose arises. In other words, Roses always look 
better and do much better when planted closer— 
14 to 16 inches apart—in groups of at least three 
to five of each variety selected.
