Descriptive catalogue of fruits, ornamental trees, flowering shrubs and plants : cultivated and for sale by Ellwanger & Barry, at the Mount Hope Botanic Garden and Nurseries ... Rochester, descriptivecatal1845ellw Year: 1845 Ellwanger & Barry's HOSES. During the past year we have enriched our collection of Roses with the finest new varieties in the several classes, particularly the splendid Hybrid Perpetuals and Bourbons. The attention which is now given to the culture of the Rose in this country, and more particu- larly in Europe, is, every year, creating new and splendid varieties, which we will continue to pro- cure as early as practicable. The Hybird Perpetuals are, at present, the favorites. Of these we have now a fine collection, many of the new varieties have C03t us within the last year $3 00 each. In order to facilitate to our patrons the making of selections, we have arranged the Summer and Perpetual Roses in separate Divisions, and these Divisions in separate Classes, so that their peculiar characters and habits may be the more readily distinguished ; and with the same view, we have prefixed to each Class a few explanatory remarks. Soil asd Culture.—Roses cultivated in the garden, should have a rich, deep soil, and some- what heavy. AH, except the class of ' Hybird China,' should be regularly pruned in March, cutting out the surplus shoots, and shortening the remaining one till within five or six eyes of the bottom of the last year's growth. In the spring, as early as possible, they should be spaded and manured with well-rotted manure ; at the same time, all the suckers that have grown up around the roots should be removed; then a good bloom may be expected.
