ROSES AND ROSE GARDENS. to act a plant of this kind is to prune back hard the first year and train two shoots horizontally. Take growths the next year from these perpendicularly, and these will flower freely the following season. Then, after blooming, cut them down to the main stems. They will make somewhat long growths the same year to supply next season's burden of blossom. W. A. Richardson, another favourite Rose, and others of its nature., may he grown in pots, and the long growths tied down to wires running along the bench. These shoots bear flowers from every eye, and after blooming cut them down and grow on the plants in heat to produce new growths—like a pot vine—for next year's flowering. Some of the dwarf Teas make beautiful halt climbers. Plants fully ioft. high, of Niphetos and Sunset, may be seen at Hatfield House well covered with flowers. They are in a conservatory where Camellias flourish in the borders. Hybrid Tea Roses. THIS is a very charming race, as a rule, of stiffer and sturdier growth than the true Teas, but quite as free in every way. Not a few, however, approach very closely the Hybrid Perpetuals, indeed it is difficult to trace any difference betw een the two groups. They force readilv, and will stand cooler treatment than the pure Teas.

The first Hybrid Tea, and one of the most beautiful, is La France, which appeared in 1867; it is interesting to know that the well-known Captain Christy and Cheshunt Hybrid were introduced in 1873, and five years later Mr. Henry Bennett commenced to send out his famous hybrids. This raiser gave to the world such exquisite Roses as Grace Darling and Viscountess Folkestone. The Noisettes, which so closely resemble the true Teas, originated from a cross between the Musk and the Chine Rose, and were obtained by M. Noisette in America in 1820. The flowers are produced in hunches, but the dividing line between the two groups is so thin that the two races might be merged into one another with advantage. Tea Roses for the Garden.—Chief amongst these are Anna Ollivier, Marie Van Houtte, Perle des Jardins, rich yellow; Francisca Kruger, rich bronzy shade; Mm<j. Hoste,
