Tea roses, and other forced kinds, are very largely propagated from softer wood cut to a single eye, with most or all of the leaf left on (Fig. 76). These firm-wood cuttings, about two inches long, are often made in the winter from forced plants. Cuttings taken in February, in the north, will be ready to transfer to borders or nursery beds when spring opens. Stout, well-rooted stock-plants are used from which to obtain the cuttings, and they are cut back when taken to the house in the fall, in order to induce a good growth. Many. 76.
