"And how's the charming little Haddock, the fourpenny, common breakfast Haddock?" Yes, in full sight of the Leas of Folkestone, and the nobility, gentry, shopmen, nurse-girls, suburban yachtsmen, nuts, noisettes, bath-chairmen and all the world of rank and fashion, a common soldier took the pearly-grey arm of the Haddon Berners as he took the air and walked abroad to give the public a treat.
"I like standard roses," said Fleda, "better than any." "Not better than climbers?" "Better than any climbers I ever saw except the Banksia." "There is hardly a more elegant variety than that, though it is not strictly a climber; and indeed when I spoke I was thinking as much of the training roses. Many of the Noisettes are very fine.

With such a tiny space of ground the choice of roses is very important. Hybrids take up too much room for general service.

Such a rock was Maggie's seat.
Around them bloomed masses of lovely roses, and the little yellow and white noisettes climbed up the various tall trees in the garden, and flung their wealth of flowers in festoons down to the ground. The two girls gazed in silence for some minutes at the lovely scene. Then the youngest of the two, a dark-eyed, golden-haired girl, said, addressing her companion, "Is it not lovely, Adeline?

Not, however, with the material treated of in the chapter on "The Rose" though what is said in it relative to the culture of the Hybrid Perpetual class applies with considerable pertinence to the classes of which I shall make special mention in this chapter but with the summer-blooming sorts, such as the Teas, the Bengals, the Bourbons, and the Noisettes.
