Caroiina, H. spinosissima, etc., Roses which sucker, could be propagated by cuttings of root or rootstock, but no systenuitic attempt has been made in this direction. Budding and Grafting. —These are old and well-es- tablished methods of propagation. Budding in foreign nurseries is practiced in the open air in June and July, with us in July or August. A dormant shiekl bud is employed. The stock is if. Manetti, B. canina, or any good brier, or Ti". multiflora; in Holland B. Carolina is esteemed. In European nurseries J?, canina is used for standard, B. Manetti for dwarf stocks. Under glass Roses are budded also, with a shield-bud, at any season when the bark slips, using for stock a vigorous variety. About Boston the yellow and white Banksian Roses once had high local repute for stock for Tea and other tender kinds. Grafting Roses in the open air in this country is not often employed, but in the South Hybrid Perpetual and other hardy Roses are said to be root-grafted in winter (very much as apples are root-grafted), tied in bundles, stored in sand and planted otit in early spring, the worked portion being set well below the surface. Root- grafting is an easy and convenient method of propa- gation under glass. Jackson Dawson's practice is to use the whip- or splice-graft, but the veneer-graft is also employed, with bits of B. muttiflora root 2-3 in. long for the stock, the cion being somewhat longer but of equal diameter. They are firmly tied with raflia and waxed; mad
