SINGLE ROSES
HAVE SPECIAL CHARM. Single roses have a charm and delicacy all their own. They carry their flowers superbly; those of Dainty Bess for instance, might be a cluster of butterflies. The bushes are a delight from the appearance of the first long pointed buds, through the unfolding of the frail-looking flowers revealing the gleaming cluster of stamens, until the last flower fades. The blooms will grace any table and will last a long time. While none of the singles have the old rose perfume, many have an attractive scent. Most are strong growers and may belleft unpruned to form large bushes. Others, such as Isobel, are excellent for forming low hedges. Some enthusiasts have become so enrapture with these single varieties that whole rose gardens are devoted to them.
