Garden  Roses. 
HE  Rose  has  ever  been  regarded  as 
a  favourite  English  flower,  but  at 
no  time  has  this  appreciation  been 
more  marked  than  during  the  past 
summer.  To  some  persons  the 
term  “garden”  Rose  as  here  applied 
may  appear  a  little  strange,  as  all 
Roses  are  undoubtedly  garden  flowers. 
What  is  more  generally  recognised  as  a 
garden  Rose  is  a  variety  remarkable  for  the 
ornamentation  of  the  girden  itself  by  the  prolusion 
of  flowers,  as  apart  fiom  the  individual  quality  of 
each  bloom  judged  from  the  florist’s  standpoint. 
Not  only  are  the  varieties  which  I  shall  enumerate 
valuable  as  decorative  objects  in  the  garden,  but 
they  are  equally  useful  and  appreciated  in  a  cut 
state  for  the  adornment  of  the  dwelling  house. 
If  evidence  were  wanting  of  the  popularity  of  this 
section  one  has  only  to  note  the  stream  of  visitors 
passing  a  leading  exhibit  of  these  garden  Roses, 
and  observe  how  they  cluster,  inspect,  admire,  and 
carefully  note  the  varieties.  They  do  not  do  this 
in  the  case  of  an  ordinary  stand  of  H.P.  or  even 
Tea-'Cented  varieties. 
Apart  from  the  deep  interest  taken  in  garden 
Roses  on  the  exhibition  table,  their  value  at  home 
in  the  garden  is  almost  unlimited.  For  covering 
pergolas,  arches,  unsightly  screens  and  training  up 
poles  the  climbing  section  are  invaluable.  For 
covering  banks,  steep  slopes,  and  even  rockeries, 
the  dwarf-growing  forms  of  Tea,  China,  Cluster,  or 
Polyantha  varieties  are  indispensable,  not  forgetting 
the  rngosa  section,  which  supply  thick  growth  and 
huge  masses  of  colour,  not  only  when  in  bloom, 
but  when  the  plants  are  laden  with  fruit  in  the 
autumn.  All  these  types  or  sections  come  con¬ 
veniently  under  the  head  of  garden  Roses. 
In  a  cut  state,  when  pleasingly  associated  with 
their  own  foliage,  tender,  tinted  growth  shoots,  or 
other  desirable  greenery,  all  forms  of  garden  R -ses 
are  appreciated.  Even  here  their  beauty  can  be 
emphasised  by  employing  each  variety  in  huge 
During  FIFTY-TWO  YEARS  'the  “  JOURNAL  OF 
HORTICULTURE”  has  been  written  by  Gardeners  for 
Gardeners,  and  in  its  principles,  its  practice,  and  its 
price  it  still  remains  the  same.  One  alteration  is  per¬ 
haps,  however,  necessary.  Our  modern  methods  of 
production  have  rendered  the  price  old-fashioned, 
and  hence  in  order  to  meet  the  wishes  of  the 
present  generation  of  Gardeners  the  “  JOURNAL 
OF  HORTICULTURE”  will  hereafter  be  sold  for 
TWOPENCE  instead  of  IRreepence.
