                                 deep colour.
20.  Ulrich Brunner.  One of the best out-of-door roses,
                                 hardy, carries its bright cerise
                                 flowers well, which are of good shape
                                 and substance; has few diseases.

Moss Roses

1.  Blanch Moreau (Perpetual).  A pure, rich white; the buds, which
are heavily mossed, borne in clusters.
2.  White Bath.  The most familiar white moss rose,
sometimes tinged with pink.  Open
flowers are attractive as well as
buds.
3.  Crested Moss.  Rich pink, deeply mossed, each bud
having a fringed crest; fragrant and
full.
4.  Gracilis.  An exquisite moss rose of fairylike
construction, the deep pink buds being
wrapped and fringed with moss.
5.  Common Moss.  A hardy pink variety, good only in
the bud.

The moss roses as a whole only bloom satisfactorily in June.

Climbers

1.  English Sweetbrier.  Single pink flowers of the wild-rose
type.  Foliage of delicious fragrance,
perfuming the garden after rain the
season through.

Penzance Hybrid Sweetbriers, Having Fragrant Foliage and Flowers of Many Beautiful Colours

2.  Amy Robsart.  Pink. 3.  Anne of Geierstein.  Crimson. 4.  Minna.  White. 5.  Rose Bradwardine.  Deep rose.

2.

1.  Climbing Jules Margottin.  Rosy carmine, very fragrant
and full, satisfactory for the
pergola, but more so for a pillar,
where in winter it can be protected
from wind by branches or straw.
2.  Baltimore Belle.  The old-fashioned blush rose, with
clean leaves and solid flowers of good
shape.  Blooms after other varieties are
over.  Trustworthy and satisfactory,
though not fragrant in flower or leaf.
3.  Gem of the Prairie.  Red flowers of large size, but
rather flat when open.  A seedling from
Queen of the Prairie, and though not
as free as its parent, it has the
desirable quality of fragrance.
4.  Climbing Belle Siebrecht Fragrant, vigorous, and of
(Hybrid Tea). the same deep pink as the standard
variety.  Grow on pillars.
5.  Gloire de Dijon.  Colour an indescribable blending of
rose, buff, and yellow, deliciously
fragrant, double to the heart of
crumpled, crepelike petals.  A tea rose
and, as an outdoor climber, tender
north of Washington, yet it can be
grown on a pillar by covering as
described on page 126.
