The first ia a fair distance for dwarfs, or very low standards in line, or mass in beds or borders; the latter not excessive for fine finished standards, furnishing the sides of a ten or fifteen feet walk. Pyramidal or Pillar Eoses need almost equally great distances to render them effective, whereas Weeping Eoses look best so far asunder as to be seen aU such as Marshal Kiel, and Gloire de Dijon, would speedily cover ten times the area thus allowed them. But as the stronger growers spread far and wide, the weaker and less valuable ones may be cleared away; and as rose plants are cheap, and roses and wall space valuable, thick planting pays best. Besides, not a few of our finest Tea Eoses grow rather slowly, and planted a yard apart on a six feet wall, it wiU' be several years before they cover it. â Climbing and Trailing Eoses are generally planted at distances of from five to twenty or more o o o o o o Grass.

But all these may be treated here as exceptional, and the general principle determining distances apart in reference to effect may be determined chiefly by their breadth and height, and the pm-poses and positions for and in which they are planted. The majority of rose plants come under the general designation of standards and dwarfs. For the first the range of distance may reach from two feet to four, three feet being a good average. For tall and strong-growing standards, however, five will not be excessive, and two or feet will be found ample for the dwarfer and weaker standards. For Dwarf Eoses the distance may range from one foot to three; from eighteen inches to two
