Making a Rose Garden

by Henry H. Saylor

Marechal Neil, a tender climbing Tea rose, dark golden-yellow in color, requires winter protection in the North. The Tea is the aristocrat of the rose garden, unapproached for delicate fragrance, refined form of the individual blooms, and continued flowering throughout the summer.

To sum up the whole matter of classification and to show the relative positions of many groups that, for lack of space, have not even been mentioned above, the following tabular key is given—a slightly modified form of the classification given in the Cyclopedia of American Horticulture:

I. Summer-flowering Roses, blooming once only

A. Large-flowered (double).

1. Growth branching or pendulous; leaf wrinkled.

Provence

Moss

Pompon

Sulphurea
