To have plenty of tine Roses,. it is necessary to have strong', field-grown plants. Select a spot for your Rose garden that has a good clay subsoil, if possible ; use plenty of good cow-lot manure or ground bone for fertilizer, and mulch with leaves during the heat of summer and fall. Budded Roses should be planted 2 inches below where they were budded, to lessen the danger of sprouts from the wild stock, and if the sprouts do appear, cut them off at once. To trim Tea Roses, always cut the blooms with long stems, and head-in any long shoots ; also, keep old and dead branches cut out. Old stocks of Hybrid Perpetuals should be cut to within 3 or 4 inches of the ground, after blooming, to allow new wood to grow. Do not cut off" the long shoots of climbing Roses, but head-in the side branches. We propagate Roses on their own roots ; also, by budding and grafting, and send out nothing but strong, well-rooted plants, true to name.
