Présentation de l'éditeur
In preparing it an opportunity was afforded of revision and addition. Since the first edition was issued, two new classes of roses, the Perpetual Flowering Musk and the Hybrid Lutea, have been recognised by rosarians. These classes have received attention in this edition. Moreover, in view of the increased prevalence of the disease, Black Spot, in our rose gardens, a more extended notice of this fungoid pest seemed needful. So the note on Black Spot has been entirely rewritten, and for the help afforded by Mr J. Fraser of Kew in drafting this new paragraph, the authors best thanks are due. In view of the more recent advance in the chemistry of soils and manures, Chapters VII. and VIII., which deal with these subjects, have been revised by a brother rosarian, Mr Richard Woosnam, Fellow of the Institute of Chemistry. The author is greatly indebted to him for his most valued assistance. The Appendix of selected roses for general and special purposes has also been revised and, as far as possible, brought up to date.
