With few exceptions the Roses are of easy cultivation and grow in almost any kind of soil, except in a loose and yery sandy one. They are readily transplanted. The Wild Roses need little pruning; they should only be thinned out and the weak and old wood be remoyed; long and vigorous shoots should not be shortened, es- pecially in the climbing varieties, as these shoots are the most floriferous. All true species can be propagated by seeds. The hips should be gathered as soon as ripe, the seeds washed out and sown at once or stratified and sown in spring. They germinate the first year, but if kept in the hips during the winter and allowed to become dry, they usually do not germinate until the second year. Mice are very fond of the seeds. Almost all species grow readily from cuttings of nearly ripened wood in summer under glass. Many species, especially the climbing Roses, can be propagated by hardwood cut- tings taken in f:ill ani\ phmted in spring. Layering is less often ihm. lii . .1. , \ â . pt witli :t few species, like ii. httea anii /-' >. wliiili do not grow readily from cutiiii- - r-. 1 sjH'cially those of the groups of ( ,1 . f':ii-nliiia. and Gallicse, can be increased by r<.ot-i:-uttings; the roots are taken up in fall, stored during the winter in sphagnum or sand in a frost-proof room, and sown in spring in drills and covered aViout 2 inches deep.
