Short hedge Briars make excellent stocks for Roses, as they are as serviceable as the taller Standards, upon which only the most vigorous kinds should be grown. Standards may be discarded entirely for Hybrid Perpetual Roses, and used for the Tea-scented. Hybrid Perpetual Roses for Bedding.—If one wishes for a display of Roses from June till October the Hybrid Perpetuals must not be relied upon, as the Tea, Hybrid Tea, and China Roses are those that may be called perpetual, that is, flower from early summer until autumn. But there are many Hybrid Perpetuals that make for a week or two a magni- ficent display, and of the majority named below plenty of flowers in the autumn may be expected too. There are few gardens where space can be afforded for beds of one kind, therefore it is necessary, to produce a good effect, to have all varieties in one bed of a similar habit of growth, or, at least, a tall variety in the centre and dwarf outside, not vice versa. To assist planters in this direction a selection of the best Hybrid Perpetuals is given for bedding, divided into three groups: (i) Very dwarf ; (2) robust ; (3) vigorous. Dwarf: Marquise de Castellane, Merveille de Lyon, Baroness Rothschild, Gustave Piganeau, Fisher Holmes, Victor Hugo, Crimson Bedder. Robust: Baronne de Maynard, Violette Bouyer, M r s. S h a r m a n-C r a w f 0 rd, Mrs. Rumsey, Helen Keller, Mdlle. Eugenie Verdier, Victor Verdier, Alfred Colomb, Captain Hayward, Etienne Levet, General Jacqueminot, Earl of Pembroke, Madame V. Verdier, Crow n Prince, Jean Cherpin. Vigorous : Clio, Jeannie Dickson, Mrs. John Laing, Heinrich Schultheis, Bladud, Gloire de Margottin, Ulrich Brunner, Dr. Andry, Charles Lefebvre, Ella Gordon, Margaret Dickson. OT
