Before planting a rose, be sure to find out its nature, or you may
have a tall bush where you would desire a low shrub-growing rose. In
arranging rose-beds, plant the tall standards in the centre. Then a
row of high bush growing roses, then a row of half dwarfs, then a row
of dwarf-growing roses. If this selection of the roses in such a bed
is properly made, it will be pleasant to the eye from June to October.
Of course the roses should be chiefly monthlies, or free-blowing
perpetuals.
