MIKE SHOUP'S ROSE RECOMMENDATIONS .
In my many years of growing roses, these roses have never failed me. Their performance is outstanding in my garden, providing color interest and fragrance all season long. Better yet, they require no special attention whatsoever. So, those of you who wish to expereince assured success, I recommend the following "Tried and True" roses.
Hedge or Specimen Roses: Old Blush, Mutabilis, Mrs. B. R. Cant, Penelope, Maggie, or Belinda's Dream,
Container or Low Border Roses:The Fairy, Perle d'Or, Martha Gonzales, Gruss an Aachen, Cecile Brunner, or Marie Pavie,
Climbers:New Dawn, Cl. Pinkie, Buff Beauty, Lamarque, or Zephirine Drouhin.
