Dreer's garden calendar for 1866 . dreersgardencale1866henr Year: 1866 Fly. 1. For the management of such, the chief requisites are the yearly ap- plication of old manure, cutting out old wood, and leaving the new and best shoots. Tree, or Standard Roses, are greatly admired when well trained, but they require much care. A specimen is shown in figure 2. They are usually made by budding on vigorous standards, about two feet high. The buds, when growing, form the head. Pillar Roses can be formed by training strong growing varieties on the trunk of a small tree of cedar or other durable wood, the branches being cut within eight or ten inches of the stem. Strong growing shoots are formed by first giv- ing a strong root to the rose, by means of a rich soil and good culture, and then cutting back freely. Nothing can be finer than the effect produced by the blooming of a plant each of the Queen of Prairies and Baltimore Belle, both trained together on one pillar. Figure 3 is part of a rose-pillar, with the growth complete, and in full bloom. Some of the Hybrid perpetual roses are, from their vigorous growth, delightful fragrance and free blooming qualities, admirably adapted for training as above; it is however only under good culture and management, that we would recommend them—the most suitable for this purpose are, Auguste Mie, Baronne Provost, Lord Raglan, La Reine Madam Laifay.
