Will you kindly inform mc when ;in<l how to propagate American Beauty roses outdoors during the growing sea- son? H. W. 8.—Kan. 1 must confess that I do not know a satisfactory way to grow American Heauty roses from outside wood. Our system of growing here, in northwest em Mississippi, is to use outside stock nlants for growing our scions and put them in hotbeds, but some varieties of liybrid teas and some hybrid perpetuaN we have never successfully grown. I have for twenty years been trying to grow American Beauties from outside wood, but the results have never been satisfactory, in this (dimate Anu'ri- can Beauty is not a satisfactory rose. It is subject to black-spot, mildew and apparently every disease known to the rose. AVhilc other varieties, more or less diflicult to handle, do well w lien ;:iven proper attention. I do not be lieve there is- a ]ilace in America wliere American Beauties can be handled satis- 1'actorily from outside wood. Of c(]urse, T may bo mistaken, but I haxc ne\ (^r seen a ])lace where it was done to ad- vantage, ^ly advice would be to plant out INlanetti stocks, eying them tlioi- oughly before j)lanting out, and bud low if you want best results.
