Cyclopedia of American horticulture, comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches. Gardening. 1564 ROSE ROSE leaflets and single flowers of a coppery yeU'ow color. It is so hardy that it can brave the most rigorous climate where man tills the soil. Persian Yellow, Harisonii and Copper are the most valuable varieties. They should be pruned sparingly. Hybrid Climbing Koses. These are especially useful as pillar Roses. The most valuable are Climbiug Jules Margottin (See Fig. 2179, page 1567) and Glory of Ches- hunt. The Prairie Rose (Jlosa sefigera) is the hardiest of climbers. This quality, with the rapidity and vigor of growth, has given them a wider popularity than any other climbers. The Gem of the Prairie is the only fra- grant Prairie Rose. Baltimore Belle (Pig. ) is the least hardy but most beautiful. Other valuable varie- ties are: Queen of the Prairie, Anna Marie and Trium- phant. The pruning knife should be used sparingly.

If EUwanger's suggestion that all French, Provence, Damask and Hybrid Bourbon be grouped un- der the Hybrid Chinas is adopted, Rose classification will be much simplified and little will be lost in accuracy. Madame Piantier is the best known and most valuable of all the group. Half-hardy Roses: Bourbon Rose {Sosa BoKrbon- iea): This group for the most part is composed of au- tumnal bloomers. They are popular as garden Roses. Hermosa is the freest bloomer. Appoline is the most beautiful. George Peabody and Malmaison are also de- servedly popular. The moderate growers of this group shoiild be closely pruned. The Hybrid Noisette (Bona Noisettiana, var. hybridu) has made several contributions to the rosarian. The least hardy but the most bea
