ROSES 
Roses of one variety or another have been grown in 
gardens since the dawn of history, and probably long be- 
fore that. Few flowers have a greater appeal and there is 
a type for every taste, from the wild roses of June which 
interested Thoreau to the newest and most gorgeous of the 
hybrid teas. 
While the last definitely belong in beds by themselves 
and in this area will need some coddling there are other 
varieties that are oak hardy and carry refreshing, fragrant 
blooms. Some of these, in reality, are shrubs and are ap- 
propriate in the border, hedge, or when spilling down a 
bank.
