This rose like all new roses has its friends and enemies. Difference in soil, location, methods of culture, etc. gener- ally bring about this result. To produce flowers of fine form, and in profitable quantities, requires a special study of this or any other rose. The small sized flowers that are put on the market and the murmurs of dissatisfaction heard on every hand are chiefly due to a lack of acquaintance with the rose. No one can justly expect to attain the best results with a few small plants, put into and grown with a house of Mermets, Ni- phetos, etc. The Wootton requires different treat- ment from that given the true tea roses, in fact it must be grown separate from other roses. No doubt by some lucky chance some growers may have succeeded in growing it in good shape in any house, but this has been the exception. The Wootton is a very free blooming rose. The color when well handled com- mands attention at once and in fragrance it ranks A 1. It should be planted early and induced to make strong growth; the wood should be well ripened and treated cool when starting for winter flowers. It is almost as impatient of heat as any of the H. Ps. Heat diminishes the size of the flowers and injures the color, as also will smoke. As a cut flower rose from November 1 until March 1 there should be a place for it where any one can devote an entire house to it and give it the special treatment it reqiures. We can not expect everything in one rose. The perfect rose is not yet in sight. Chas. p. Ander
