In single Roses there is nothing finer than Dainty Bess when allowed to go almost unpruned.

Few Roses can equal Joyous Cavalier for freedom of growth and blooming qualities, and the bright scarlet flowers are most effective.

The climber Allen Chandler is capable of making a fine bush.   This fine seedling from Hugh Dickson deserves more attention than it usually receives. Its bright crimson semi-double flowers are very beautiful.

Shot Silk does not grow so tall as some of the other varieties, but it makes a fine bush. The foliage is always good, and the plant never seems to rest.  There is no Rose better adapted to New Zealand conditions.

Mrs. A. R. Barraclough also thrives well on light pruning. Its vigour when treated that way is surprising, and the blooms will reach a large size.

In the pink and red shades, we have some very fine varieties suitable for growing as large bushes. One of my favourites when grown this way is Lady Battersea. Pruned hard, it is a rather poor grower; but when allowed to attain size, it is always an object of admiration, and is generally the first Rose in the garden to bloom in the spring.

Reveil Dijonnais can be classed as a climbing Rose, but as a large shrub it is superlative. The deep yellow colour, shaded and streaked with coppery crimson, is very striking, and although the flowers are nearly single, they are produced freely and continuously. It is very effective.
