POSITION IS EVERYTHING
Roses will not grow so well on a lattice or netting wire support as they do on a wall, where they are protected from draughts. The hardy and hrilliant-ilowering Bougainvillea has a strong dislike to shaded positions, and will not do any good if sunlight is excluded. Hydrangeas and fuchsias grow best in a semi-shaded position. Though some varieties will grow in the open sunlight, an extra hot sun and wind will scorch the flowers. The beautiful tree ferns do well under the shade of tall growing trees, but planted in the open they suffer during the heat of summer by having the fronds scorched.
