Gardening. 2174. A Rose bush for the corner of the garden. jection to budded plants is this danger of snck- ering from the roots ; therefore no one should attempt to cultivate budded Roses who cannot distinguish the brier should it appear, or who is too careless or indifferent to dig down at once and cut the wild shoot clean off at the root, rubbing it smooth to prevent its starting again. Do this just as soou as you discover it. A very little experience will enable any one to dis- tinguish the brier. The canes are covered with minute thorns and bear seven leaflets, instead of the usual number of five. Should any doubt remain, follow the shoot down through the ground and if it starts below the collar, it is a brier. Remove it. These wild shoots usually appear a few inches outside of the regular growth, rarely inside; consequently there is little diffi- culty in detecting and removing them. Planting looses from Pots. —Should Roses grown on their own roots be preferred, they should be planted as soon as the spring weather has fairly settled and all danger of frost is over, that the plants may be fi^rmly established before the heat of summer. Roses planted late in the season never do well, as they cannot attain sufficient vigor to withstand the burning heat of our summer suu. The holes need only be made a little larger than the pot in which the plant is growing. Choose a cloudy day, or the time just before a rain, or late in the afternoon, and, after making the hole, knock the pot off by inverting the plant and striking the edge sharply on a firm siibstance (the handle of asp a d e which has been firmly placed in the ground in an upright position 2175.
