The last is known as the thousand dollarprize rose, because it was the winner at the Panama PacificExposition as the best new seedling rose. Caroline Testout—good old Caroline—has rightly been called probably the best of all garden roses. A tree of it is farmore showy than one of La France, because it is all pink,whereas the latter has silvery curl-overs to the Fan-shaped Support for Roses. Original-shaped supports add to the interest of a gardenscene. There may be a ten, or twelve, feet high cross of rusticwood in the midst of a gravel square, paved court or lawn,grown up by some climbing rose, whose boughs outline thearms and hang from their ends. A fan-shaped trellis on a sufficiently giant scale, givento a white rose, will have a remarkable, spectre-like effectin the garden by night.
