It is through the leaves that a rose accepts this disease, so where the true R.foetida characteristic of short profuse flowering followed by a long rest is inherent in a plant (the early roses: 'Soleil d'Or', 'Juliet', 'Hidcote Yellow', 'Le Rêve'), the fact that it may be furnished with equally characteristic non-resistant foliage is of minor consequence. For this is readily discarded, characteristically renewed, and a good recovery made.

Mr. W. S. Watters, an under-gardener in the Civic Rose Garden at Auckland, N.Z., will bring back some happy memories to old growers by his comments on this old Rose, which, with all its faults, sometimes produced most beautiful blooms:—
Whilst busy hand-weeding amongst the Roses this morning I came face to face with a beautiful bud of Juliet, one of the first of the autumn crop of blooms from this old variety. In my limited experience of Roses I find that, although a beautiful Rose, Juliet is the most addicted to black spot here. As elsewhere, the disease begins early in the spring, with the result that it interferes with the perfecting of many first blooms. Since my transfer to these gardens I have had this group of seven bushes of Juliet under observation, particular interest on my part being created by hearing a lecturer, when answering a question regarding their pruning, suggest that they be dug out and banished from the garden. Personally, I should be sorry to see this Rose disappear, for it is a variety that has some outstanding merits as a bloom, such as its unusual colouring - old gold, rose and yellow - good size, fragrance, and a stiff stem well clad with foliage right up to the flower. A single good bloom of Juliet furnishes a vase without the addition of any extra foliage. Further, this variety, if the disease will allow it, is a strong grower; and another point not always recognised, its foliage is briar-scented.
Turning to its defects; apart from black spot, the flower often comes double-centred, and the failure of some to show a sufficiency of gold in their petals here is a defect which may be caused by either too much sunshine or dry almosphere, as the second crop of bloom, now opening in unsettled weather, is all that can be desired in that respect. It also somewhat lacks freedom of blooming when compared with other Roses generally, but its merits outweigh its defects, at least to me.
