ROSES FOR FLOWER-BEDS
Donald Beaton
Among the red ones there is a great variety for choice, and the Old dark red China, which is seen all over the country trained up against the front of cottages, makes as good a bed as any on the list; and Henry the Fifth is the best to mix with it, plant for plant, as they grow exactly alike. The latter is a shade more red, and has a light centre when the flower is full open, and sometimes a light stripe here and there: all this with the dark-red of the old one has a fine effect in a bed.
