The Scotch Roses
All the varieties have a shrubby, compact habit of growth, with heavily-spined wood, the height, varying from about 6 inches to 8 feet, according to the sort.  Some of the smallest in growth would make real gems for the rock garden...  
Although Altaica is very transient it is perhaps the most effective of the whole group, and I should not like to be without a specimen in the garden.  It is rather taller and stiffer in growth than the other varieties and would make a fine pillar Rose.  The single cream-tinted flowers are very large, some measuring 2½ inches across.  When in full bloom the plant cannot be seen for blossoms.  This variety also has a delicate but powerful scent.

Double White Scotch, to my mind the sweetest of the lot, the pretty little snow-white blossoms being very neat and fairly full, lasting on the plant longer than those of most other varieties.  There is also the single white.

Harrisoni, when in full bloom, forms a wonderful hit of color, the plants being smothered with double blooms of a rich pure yellow.  As I write (June 8) I have a plant of Harrisoni that has been in bloom since May 24, and there are plenty of quite small buds yet to develop.  In addition to its other charms this variety possesses a delicious fragrance.

Representative of this in 1969 is the new " Royal Canadian Rose " . This red hybrid tea was named for orchestra leader Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians . J & P refers to this introduction as having "the sweetest fragrance this side of heaven" - a take-off on Guy Lombardo's "Sweetest Music this side of heaven"... In fact , however , the Royal Canadian Rose " , while heavily fragrant in the true old rose tradition , is still out-classed by the 1968 Rose of the Year , " Fragrant Cloud "

Before closing I must mention
Stanwell Perpetual Scotch, a hybrid Scotch, and among the very earliest Roses to come into flower, often unfolding its delicate rosy-white blossoms in May and continuing until the frost comes.  Its habit is semi-climbing.  The semi-double blossoms are very fragrant, closely resembling those of the old Provence Rose in that respect.
