. The complete home landscape. Landscape gardening; Gardens. 92 THE COMPLETE HOME LANDSCAPE P//y/f A/^D W/i/TZ SoaDLl^. mp ../la L_ I /or?grf/oro \ /ociif/oro \ion L U C ATiD WlilTL boUDLR, Fig. 86.—Two suggested planting plans for a border. Each of these is so arranged that it can be adapted to almost any space—a smaller number of plants being used in each sec- tion on a limited area, and a larger number in a more extensive garden. These plans can be used separately or as parts of a continuous border. A long period of flowering is covered by the materials used, all of which are good for cutting purposes go toward producing an unusually large flower on a long stem. To produce a quantity of blooms, as is generally desired in a Rose garden, the strong shoots arising chiefly from the base of the plant should be pinched back occasionally. This will induce the plant to form more wood (shoots) and attain a bushier habit. There being more young wood, the result is naturally a greater number of flowers. Monthly Blooming Roses (Hybrid Teas, and Teas) such as La France and Caroline Testout, outrank all other classes for color, form and fragrance, and as a result the modern Rose garden is composed of practically all monthly Roses. As in the case of June Roses, these may be shortened when planted in Autumn, but the Spring pruning should be more severe. Monthly Roses are more irregular in growth than the June Roses, but, as before, the best three or four branches or shoots should be selected and all others removed. These shoots should then be cut back to about three or four eyes, leaving about five to eight inches of the old shoot. En- deavor to prune so that the uppermost bud points outward, so as to prevent the new shoots from interlacing. The size and quantity of the flowers can, in a measure, be con- trolled in the same manner as was recommended for June Roses. Climbing Roses (Wichuraiana and Multiflora), such as Dorothy Perkins, produce their flowers on last year's wood
