As single specimens of Pillar Roses, the following may be tried with confidence:
Baronne Prevost, another of the few old favourites still claiming a place in the Rosary. The flowers are very large, fragrant, and of a true rose-colour. Colonel Rougemont, closely resembling the Baroness, and in some points superior, is of a more weakly condition, and therefore less adapted for a Pillar Rose.

Rose Colour and Shades of Pink to Light Carmine...Baronne Prevost and Colonel de Rougement are very much alike. Should both not be required choose the former, its habit is much more robust, and, therefore, more likely to succeed; the later is perhaps, the finer flower of the two, but there is really very little difference between them.
