Borders of these free-growing Roses would be a delightful feature in any garden, allotting to each plant a space of about 9 square feet, so that its individuality may be well brought out.

[...] Other charming Roses for such a purpose would be Mme. Hector Leuilliot [sic], Mme. Charles Monnier, Mme. Jules Gravereaux, Gustave Regis, François Crousse, England's Glory, L'Ideal, Dr. Rouges, Alister Stella Gray, Longworth Rambler, Joseph Bernacchi, Souvenir de Prince Charles d'Arenberg, Virginie Demont-Breton, William Allen Richardson, Germaine Trochon, Lady Waterlow, &c.
