They thrive literally without cultivation and prosper in almost any kind of soil. The bushes grow in low, compact form, each plant resembling a huge bouquet when in full bloom. The blossoming usually takes place in June, but some of the hybrids may flower at intervals throughout the summer. The blossoms of the Scotch Roses are beautiful in form and are seldom darker in color than pink or deep rose. The fragrance is sweet and pleasing. Several varieties are adapted for border planting because of their dwarf size and the density of the bush. They are also used in many instances for rockeries as well as hedges, or for marking division lines between properties. The varieties here described are those whose virtues have been developed to a point where the plants can be recommended. Each is of known merit in its peculiar field. Lady Hamilton. Probably the most conspicuous of the Scotch Roses. The plant is of dwarf habit, with such a profusion of blossoms in the early summer that it resembles a basket of flowers poured upon the ground. The blossoms are buff-white, shaded with rose when expanded, and semi-double; or they may appear with a flush of rose, the base of the petals being tinged with yellow. The Lady Hamilton Rose is distinctive in appearance, and gives a pleasing variety to the Rose-garden, and is thoroughly hardy and sturdy in growth. (See illustration, page 101.)
