Will you kindly tell us which of the best outdoor roses make a satisfactory growth on their own roots, and which it is better to bud on stronger growing stock? We desire to try rooting cuttings in a frame about the end of June ac- cording to the method described in The Review some weeks ago. Our location is Jersey. G. V. W. All the rambler types of roses, such as Lady Gay, Crimson Rambler, Hiawatha, Carmine Pillar, American Pillar, Balti- more Belle, Dorothy Perkins, Tausend- schon, etc.; the Wichuraianas, rugosas, Harrison's Yellow, Persian Yellow, Aus- trian Copper, the various Penzance sweetbriers, multiflora and some other robust growing roses are quite satisfac- tory on their own roots. On the other hand, all the hybrid perpetuals and hybrid teas are more vigorous and hardy when budded on the seedling brier or Manetti stocks. This is particularly true of the colder states. Plants on their own roots do well in some sections and will succeed fairly well for a time even in our cold states, but cannot compare with such as are budded. The end of June will be a suitable time to root cuttings of many of the outdoor roses in a mild hot- bed. C. W. POOB BOSES. Our roses have had an awful lot of mildew this spring. Would you advise putting sulphur on an oil stove until it melted? What would be the effect? If that isn't good, what is? These roses are giving us only short stems. Most of the wood is small, but there is some large growth coming on. It is starting from the bottom. How would you advise treat- ing and cutting them to make good plants for next fall and winter, as we want to carry them over another year or two? Our poll is Iowa black loam. We have only given them a few feeds this winter. Two weeks ago they were given a top- dressing of cow manure. It was spread on by water. The rose plants in one end of the house are dropping their leaves. What
