Jardins. An exquisite, fragrant double rose
of light clear yellow, suggesting the
Marechal Niel in form, but of paler
colour. Difficult to winter out of
doors, but worth the trouble of
lifting to cold pit or light cellar,
or the expense of renewing annually.
One of the lovable roses.
5. Bride. The clear white rose, sometimes with
lemon shadings used for forcing; clean,
handsome foliage and good fragrance.
Very satisfactory in my garden when
old plants are used, as described.
6. Bridesmaid. The pink companion of the above with
similar attributes.
7. Etoille de Lyon. A vigorous, deep yellow rose, full
and sweet. Almost as hardy as a hybrid
tea and very satisfactory.
8. Souvenir d'un Ami. A deliciously fragrant light pink
rose, with salmon shadings. Very
satisfactory and as hardy as some of
the hybrid teas.
_Miscellaneous Roses for the Shrubbery_
1. Harrison's Yellow. An Austrian brier rose with clear
yellow semi-double flowers. Early and
very hardy. Should be grown on its own
roots, as it will then spread into a
thicket and make the rosary a mass of
shimmering gold in early June.
_Damask Roses_
Should be grown on own root, when
they will form shrubs five feet high.
2. Madame Hardy. Pure white. Very fragrant,
well-cupped flower, Time tried and
sturdy.
3. Rosa Damascena Rose colour.
Triginitipela.
_Rugosa_
The tribe of Japanese origin,
conspicuous as bushes of fine
