L. R. T. Roses to Plant. Ed. American Florist :— I am thinking of planting the follow- ing varieties in a rose house: Richmond, Killarney, American Beauty, Bride, Bridesmaid and Kaiserin. The only soil I am able to obtain is of a loamy nature. Which of the foregoing would you rec- ommend to be grown on their own roots. or would it be best to have all grafted stock? What night and day tempera- ture should the house be run at? M. J. W. I suggest leaving out the Kaiserin; the other varieties can be handled fairly well in one house : "M. J. ; does not state whether he will plant on raised benches or in solid beds, which will make some difference if his soil is ex- tremely light.
