ROSES 
Roses of one variety or another have been grown in gardens 
since the dawn of history, and probably long before that. Few 
llowers have a greater appeal and there is a type for every taste, 
from the wild roses of June which interested Thoreau to the

are oak hardy and carry refreshing, fragrant blooms. These, in
