Présentation de l'éditeur
Jfi $THERE is a charm about a beautiful Rose garden which appeals irresistibly to every lover of flowers. It is not necessary to win a prize at a Rose show to enjoy Roses when they are used in free, informal, natural ways. There is a wide gulf between exhibiting and gardening. The exhibitor of Roses does not keep beautiful garden effects constantly before him, and plant and prune in such a way as to form pleasing garden pictures; he aims at producing a limited number of flowers of a particular type. For this reason people who loveR oses must not allow themselves to be unduly influenced by what they see and hear at shows. They must learn about beautiful garden Roses what they are, and how to manage them in order to get lovely garden scenes, together with abundance of flowers for bowls and vases. There should be nothing stiff, stilted, and formal about Roses, whether in the growing of them, the utilisation of them, or the writing about them. We should look upon them as cheerful, delightful, affectionate companions. To put the trees in stiff rows, grow them on a level, and prune them back to mere stumps, like a blackthorn hedge, is to rob them of all chance of showing whether they possess natural beauty. And to write of Roses as though they were mere automata, devoid of all sentiment, of all power of appeal to our finest feelings, is to put them on the same plane as mangold wurzels. Beauty create beauty.
